Thanks as always Kearly. And as usual I disagree on a couple points, but always appreciate the time and thought and effort you put in. A couple small points from my point of view.
I totally agree on Coleman. I was at the game.. focused on him on a few plays. Youre dead right..Lynch doesn't trust his blocks. He doesnt treat a defender blocked by Coleman as unblocked , but he always doesnt consider him "erased"..he treats him as somewhere in between, giving him a wide berth.
Surprised you didn't talk about McQuistan when talking about Okung going out with turf toe. McQuistan played LT the rest of the night, and considering he gets no practice time there apparently did awesome. I cant remember which game it was but early Sunday I was watching a game and a teams LT went out and it was like opening a flood gate. Our OL hasn't been great to this point but I thought they stepped up and hung tough. After giving up 3 sacks in the first half they gave up just one more in the second and were part of the reason Wilson was able to settle down.
The Hulk looks more like the offspring of Gollum and the Hulk.
On Kaep.. Id have to disagree. He is a great athlete and with time is good. I did not think he showed much poise however. He looked exasperated and sloppy. Some of his passes under duress were truly awful, off target, no mechanics at all..just panic stricken desperate heaves of the ball. The difference between him and Wilson under pressure couldn't have been more striking to me. I was at the game so will need to watch the TV coverage to see if that changes my impression but overall I thought this game more than last years really provides a road map for handling Kaep, if your team has the type of CBs that can handle Boldin and Davis.
