Popular Post xen 1,010,220 Posted November 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2021 Fyi Ingram will be active this game. A little surprising and doubt he gets but a few plays, but still nice to see. So watched the game again and starting to see some improvement, outside of the obviously worse opponent, that bodes well for future improvement. One is, and I know some hear don't want to hear this, but Clark has been playing really really well the last few games. We need more of that. Two is, if Hitch steals time from Gay that will be criminal. I could see him stealing some snaps from Bolton but I don't like that either. Bolton getting a little better in zone as he's been getting more snaps. Seems to be a really fast learner. But his work in base at MLB has been 10x better than he was in base before Hitch when down. Makes sense as he's gotten a lot more snaps + playing his natural position. Seth just put up a nice breakdown of Gay and Bolton. I concur with his conclusions. Those 2 young guys are starting to transform the D. They must stay in. Bolton here. Only LB on the roster that can do this. Dude arrives with ill intent always. We need that. Another good example from seth. Bolton highlighted but watch 50 Gay to the left. That is 2 young studs working the goalline package. Outstanding work. Watch Gay work it here. Pulls off the fake quickly to bracket the outlet then turns it on after the QB commits to the outside boot. Love this play. Niemann and Hitch let that turn into a cheap 11 vs the short gain this ends up being. We have no other LBs capable of this. I get you may have some issues calling plays with Gay in Dime, but man you can't teach coverage instincts like Gay has. I mean you can get better at it with a lot of reps but dude just gets it. Bolton needs to get better in zone but he'll need reps to get there. Let the young uns play. They are the future.

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Yes. Bench Hitchens. Don’t care how much we’re paying his sorry ass. These two are wayyyy more fun to watch and are more successful play by play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 There are no negatives by letting these kids play. Defense has been awful so let the potential/future mature now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an honest question- has Ben ever made a play? I mean seriously? A highlight or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I've liked bolton from the beginning because he seems to be in good position when he tackles, and he tackles well, very well. I've focused more on Bolton, and haven't seen that much of Gay, but what I have seen; I liked. Frank Clark is interesting. It seems like he feeds off other players. When Jones, Bolton, and Gay are causing havoc he joins in, and seems to up his play. I agree with Xen, he's been playing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, Chris Jones was in the middle all game...Reed actually played a good game with CJ aside him. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
