Changes need to happen - now | Page 14

Well, we sat and wondered if perhaps last week was "just a bad day." And we proceeded to literally do nothing different. Well, not literally. We dropped our safeties back and covered the deep routes - so much so that crossing and seems were wide friggin open. But this offensive line problem is simply not going away. Marcus Martin is not ready, and may never be ready for the center position. I am 100 times more comfortable with him being at guard. Jordan Devey is straight up awful as is Eric Pears. And folks point to Week one, but those two were not good week 1 either. I believe Marcus Martin is the primary reason Joe Staley and Alex Boone have under performed. On the defensive side, I'm sorry, but Navorro Bowman needs to come out on 3rd downs. 1. it gives him rest, and 2. the dude isn't what he was in coverage. Mike Davis is a joke. I'm not too high on Jarryd Hayne as a running back, but the guy is better than Mike Davis. Hayne also needs to be returning kicks. This Grant Cohn BS about Hayne being our 3rd best returner is ridiculous. Send Vernon Davis up the friggin seem. He only succeeds over the middle. You traded for Nick Easton - so obviously you know you have a major problem at center. Play him already. My point is, we're 1-2. Which means this is potentially the most crucial game of the season. This team would be tremendously Nolan-esque and Singletary-ied if it went through the worst back-to-back defeats in franchise history and did nothing. And held no one accountable. And played the role of the friggin cheerleader. Stop worrying about the players' bodies and get it down that losing is unacceptable. And losing like that gets people fired mid-season.

Exactly..kap is not this bad..the I-line is making him bad..everything. Starts with the o-line..

He is not this bad, but he also is increasingly not a guy who can function behind anything less than a great line and ours is really, really bad. It might be time to let him walk after the season because the line isn't going to be a one season fix. We will have to start all over in the draft and build more talent there.

Agree

IMO, at this point Kap seems like a MAJOR rebuilding project and it's still a crap shoot.

In the offseason I was flamed for doubting this coaching staff. I said then, and still feel we have enough talent to make a good season, and maybe a play off run. The defense showed it may actually be okay, middle of the pack or better, and thats enough. Its enough if we have a dynamic offense, like the one we saw in game one. This coaching staff has to recognize just how bad this Offensive line is.

I was ready after the first game to eat crow, to admit we might just be better that 6-8 wins. This staff and the front offices blind spot for the o-line is going to make me prove me right, they are a disaster. Bench cap, fire Chyst, it doesn't matter, nothing works in foot ball if you can't get it blocked up front. Baalke needs to be scouring preseason film and looking on every practice squad in the NFL, he needs to talking trade with any team that will listen. He needs to calling AD every day, and any other recently retired, possibly servicable linemen out there.

I don't want to be right!

Go Niners!

The defense needs to work on forcing fumbles and stripping the ball. No need to be conservative at this point.

im so sick of hearing colin kaepernick speak during the press conferences....same with jim tomsula....i think we need a qb that won't have his stupid headphones on around his neck, his hat turned to the side....stop the bs talk....show it on the field....jim tomsula talks about learning from the mistakes, owning them and correcting them....so far, it doesn't look like he is owning or correcting any of the mistakes.....cmon....still a long season...but it's going to feel like a long season

well, five weeks later, Jim T sure showed us. He didn't make changes. And the fans are mourning.
