The 49ers are using a "never heard of him" RB very effectively.
We could do the exact same thing with Rico and Deuce... unfortunately our team looks hellbent on giving Zeke a majority of the carries.
It's probably my only negative takeaway from week 1... and there is plenty of time to make a change... but we saw the same damn thing 2 years ago when we had peak Tony Pollard and yet we still fed Zeke.

Yeah, they put it in the water supply because they care about our teeth.Infection_Ag11 said:DannyDuberstein said:

But see, the problem is he (and a few million others) went from "maybe we shouldn't mandate the vaccine for everyone" to "fluoride in the water supply is giving everyone cancer and we didn't land on the moon" in about 5 minutes.
Rodgers is the case study in the "COVID conspiracy gateway man" phenomenon. These people accept and endorse every heterodox position they come across no matter how insignificant because by god if the COVID shot gave a kid myocarditis, JFK was killed by CIA.

I think he was the last of the flashy names. Brandon Carr was the last big $ we spent on a free agent I think.
And in fairness to Carr, he was a good player... but like most free agents, just wasn't worth what we paid for. We did the reverse thing with guys like Byron Jones and Schultz... let somebody else overpay them.

Man, I'll disagree here. Carr didn't miss a game during his time in Dallas and was a pretty nails corner through his entire contract. You never had to worry about him.

That's fair... but in fairness to my point, people expected him to be what we currently have with Diggs. He did play well for us, but he still took heat from fans and the podcasts because he didn't make enough game changing plays.
Edit: I looked it up... he had 3 picks in each of his 1st two years in Dallas. Solid, but not flashy. His next two years he had ZERO picks.
I think I heard we blitzed six 6 times, and each time it created pressure. Then I want to say 13 times we rushed 5, and 42 times we rushed 4. I think that was only for dropbacks.98Ag99Grad said:
It didn't feel like we blitzed much. Is that correct? Generally the front 4 generated pressure and made Watson uncomfortable.

Cowboys rookie Cooper Beebe ranked 16th among centers in pass block win rate and 2nd in run block win rate.

All I do is Nguyen said:
Cowboys open as 6.5 favorites over the Saints
I love the relationship Harris and Diggs have. You can tell they have a genuine respect and love for each other.jteagle said:EVERYONE GET IN HERE SOUNDS FROM THE SIDELINES IS BACKpic.twitter.com/8ev4ytxING

I don't think McCarthy is as lame duck as you think. He is the offensive play caller after all. I do recognize he needs to work on time management but we knew that when we hired himDanny Vermin said:
Man, that was fantastic. That is one close team and think the fact that McCarthy is a lame duck coach doesn't matter at all.
