Cooley says bad route running by Grant

Thank you.

As a fan, I knew he fell down, but didn't realize he had already messed up by looking back prematurely.

I'm also surprised by Kirk's post game interview in the clip. I was fully expecting him to ask Ryan Grant to go look himself in the mirror to see what he could have done better (cheeky, uncalled for sarcasm).

Instead, he immediately pointed out what he could have done better on the play: slide the protection so he wasn't throwing hot.

Personally I'm not sure why KC went to Grant in the first place. Not putting that int on him, but Grant was pretty much invisible the entire game. Why not go to Garçon or Crowder?

I disagree with Cooley as I think KC's first pick was his fault. The ball needed to be obviously out in front of Garçon, and not so far behind him.

Hopefully this is just some growing pains with a young team. I do see why they picked KC, and I've always felt he was the best guy. However, at some point he needs to stop turning the ball over. Hopefully the 2nd half of the season we'll see improvement there with him and the timing with his wr's.

Positives:

Crowder- Gonna be a top slot WR in this league if he keeps improving. Maybe Bill Polian wasnt insane when he said Julian Edleman.

Thompson- Has really shown growth as a 3rd down RB

Breeland- No fear as a CB, definitely has been our top secondary player for the last 2 seasons

Baker- The guy has been a monster this season

Negatives

That 3rd and goal WR screen, I feel like that is where we lost the game.

I was listening to sports talk today and apparently Ross doesn't quite know the offense yet. Doesn't know where to line up.

Ross knows 1 receiver spot right now, therefore the lack of balls to him.

FWIW: Have written this, but: 1 reason Rashad Ross doesn't play more is that he knows 1 WR spot. Same spot as Garcon. limits Ross 4 now

Went to the Redskins bar in San Diego for the 1st time. It was awesome singing HTTR when we scored.

Place went ghost silence on the pick 6.

Ughh, that would have been one sick win.

I was shocked how easily Freeman ran all over our defense. Seems like we should have been familiar with their run scheme. Defense did a good job of bending but not breaking except for last series of game. I hate the damn prevent defense. Got carved up.

The heart of this team is very promising thru 5 games. That's the best part of the season so far, seeing that.

SFREDSKIN · 10-12-2015, 11:59 PM

With the number of injuries at CB, I wouldn't seeing them sign Richard Crawford again.

This guy is a positive. @OLineScout

Gruden admitted that was an "awful" play call.

with all the injuries its time to be able to suit up all 53 on game day. the NFL is so concerned with the level of competition yet teams are being devastated with injuries ..i don't get this at all..except GREED has something to do with it..

To me it looked like the d-line was really getting a lot of penetration, it was the LB's that could not make the plays on Freeman. And I think we need to give that kid some credit. He is a really good RB, better than I thought he was.

He looks like he's doing 2 positions at once, maybe that's why Moses is looking good. What a beast.

Bad:
The run game overall. But, here is something specific I've noticed since the preseason.

Compton, despite being a very good run blocker, hurts more then helps the run game when he plays TE.

Whenever Compton comes in at TE the defense KNOWS it a run.

Last game: He came in at TE 5 times by my count for a total of 6 yards gained.
Thats 1.2 ypc on run plays with Compton at TE. 3 of those runs were for no gain.
