Scud's Studs (Week 9 vs. San Fran)

I think it's funny that it took a franchise record FG to get off of the scoring slump.

Agreed. The offense is so bad, and yet the D really fights and gives us a chance. That said, giving up 107 yards to Gore on only 19 carries isn't good enough.

The secondary did play better today. I'm watching the game on TiVo right now... Barnes playing pretty decent from what I can see.

That's what I can't figure out. The front seven is just the way it was week one -- no significant injuries, but these guys keep getting sliced and diced every week.

Then again, maybe they just haven't been that good at stopping the run from the beginning.

Cofield and Bowen have been quiet for about 4 weeks or since the slide began.

Bowen has been very good to me, Carriker despite all the sacks seems to be the less effective run stopper.

I still think Cofield was a bad pick up as a NT, I'm sure he'd be a fine 3-4 DE but he doesn't have the size of experience to be a 3-4 NT.

Gotta see the good. I saw Hankerson have a good game. helu looked good except for the fumble. defense was still solid. You can see improvements every week and thats whats important when you have this many young guys playing. Just missing the most important piece. A good Qb. But I think Shanny gets his Qb in the draft.

Beautiful!! I agree.

Cofield has been very underwhelming. There's no doubt about it. I

In fact, I'd add Rak to that list. Not impressed with him at all. Actually, I think he's a tad overrated. Very athletic, he contributes well, but things still aren't clicking for him. He's not consistently dominant and far from a game changer or a ball hawk. Yeah, he's good but not as good as some around here make him out to be.

Orakpo has been terrible in coverage at times. Also, he still gets held all the time and he needs to figure out how to deal with that. The refs are not going to call that all the time. Orakpo is still young and can improve.

I think the Cofield situation is more of an issue. One of the biggest failure of this team last year was not getting a capable NT. And this year we once again are rolling the dice with a 4-3 DT. I hope Neild develops into a capable 3-4 NT, otherwise we are going to have the same problems.

I really like to hear how Mo Hurt graded out on his performance today. From what I saw it was ok. Like to keep him their the rest of the year see how it plays out.

Helu was good, but that fumble was pretty bad. I think he lost the ball a couple times but recovered the other.

Good for Gano.

Im waiting for the that Smackdown thread to open cause I cant believe the continuing bad play from Rocky.
