Being at the game, I noticed receivers quit trying to get open when plays broke down. That is something Hill has always been good at and his presence was missed this past Sunday. After Crabtree's performance, I'd give the job to Hill or Ziggy and make Crabtree want to earn it. We need Crabtree to play inspired football, and we haven't seen that often as 49er fans.
i noticed Crabtree doing that even on TV. i say sit him for a week, too.
Singletary might not want to throw him under the bus, but I do. He screwed this team last year, and he has screwed this team this year. The loss can be pinned on him because it was his crucial mistakes, on routine plays, that murdered us. And had he put in the time in the offseason like so many others on this team did, even guys who were cut, we'd be better off today. The coaches need to follow through with their talk. Crabtree is a diva and teams were right to pass on him. Oher or Orakpo would have been major contributors for us last season and they would have paid dividends this past Sunday.
Don't get me wrong, I can tell Crabtree is a player, but if he doesn't want to bring it for this team, and he wants to be a Cowboy, we need to send this guy packing.
