Eric Reid has been dissapointing as hell

Disagree. He's a very good young player. It's been a bad 2 weeks for everybody.

It's Overreaction Monday, so I get the frustration.

Plus the severe lack of pass rush is doing the secondary as a whole no favors

Thanks for quoting my thread, but I couldn't disagree more. Reid is already a probowler and will continue to be. He had a bad series, that's it!

a pass rush would make a few in our secondary look like all-pros

disagree. he replaced dashon goldson. what had goldson accomplished by the 3rd game of his second season? the answer is not much if anything.

Wait wait wait.....

Are you telling me that a player on the 49ers appears to lack coaching and understanding of where to be on a specific play???

Meh. Our entire defense looks like s**t. Its designed by fangio to work like a machine but we have too many of the most important parts missing. Without a pass rush our secondary will continue to look like trash. We could blitz, but our secondary isn't good at covering unless the blitz gets there immediately. If the blitz is picked up the opposing offense will complete the pass or get a flag.

For right now we have an average at best defense. We're gonna give up at least 20-24 a game and its not all Reid's fault. We just got a lot of bad luck and no pass rush.

Potato post of the day

When the Refs call flags for Wrs running into our DBs and calling illegal contact on the 49ers ...you really cant do anything except take in the ass

Reid misses Whitner, I can tell.

Pretty much this. I know the 49ers have enough talent to win games, but I'm afraid this is one battle we can't win. When calls like this are made, the integrity of the game is compromised.

i know damn well all other DBs are not playing perfect...thats why Q is pissed

You guys at missing it. There is no pass rush so our DBs look like crap. That's it. Stanton and cutler could have made a sandwich in the pocket.

Personally, i think that the illegal touching penalty is such BS... it doesn't make any sense.. and here are my reasons:

1) Every team in the NFL looks for that shut down corner via draft or free agent

2) Every team in the NFL pays millions of dollars once a CB is tagged of being a shut down corner.

3) The same freakin teams in the NFL, or their very own representative create a freakin rules re "illegal touching"

4) The same competition comittee are the ones who should not allow this rule

How can you then have a freakin shut down corner if he's not allow to touch??

we may as play zone coverage 100% of the time, and find a player like Ronde Barber, who I call the best zone covering CB ever to play this game since LeRoy Irvin..
