that.......was..........awesome ^
This^^ I think since RW's departure, a big part of what they're doing Offensively, is resetting on the Pass Protection end of things with our young guns = Pocket Conservatism.Geno has not shown any threat to throw the ball deep. I checked out of curiosity to re affirm my memory. He completed 1 pass for 17 yds to Lockett and 1 screen pass went for 17 (not counting it because that is all yac). Other than that, all passes were for under 10 yds. Why would anybody not stack the box against the run? Geno has got to push the ball down the field sometime to open the run game up or we are going nowhere. Geno is playing super conservative but you got to at least threaten with the occasional deep shot or you just slowly suffocate like yesterday.
Really wanna see some strikes up the seam. Geno is pretty good at tossing passes in that range. Probably not gonna go full moonballs, but I'd love to see some good 20 yard strikes here and there.If Pete was really keeping the reigns on Geno, I'd love to see what letting him loose does. Maybe something, maybe nothing. Worth the test though!
I don't think it was really about keeping the reigns on Geno. Maybe to some extent, but he wanted to see how our rookie tackles would hold up against a strong defense. Yes Bosa got his, but overall the rooks did a pretty good job, which gave Pete the info and confidence needed to open things up in the passing game.If Pete was really keeping the reigns on Geno, I'd love to see what letting him loose does. Maybe something, maybe nothing. Worth the test though!

Seems like you are reaching when your only example is a play that didnt even count.
