It was a bad game from the kickoff. Defense started out looking slow, and non-physical. Can't do that against the Niners.
The young guys need to learn if you want to be bullies on Defense, you have to bring from play 1, every single game. Because the other bullies out there are gonna smack you in the mouth if you're not awake.
If Geno had no reps, and Lock worked with the ones all week, I would have gone to Lock after the 2nd drive. Geno had no zip on the ball. I could see it, so I know the Niners saw it, but for some reason the Hawks didn't see it.
I imagine it's something to do with his contract, I get it, he's tough and can take a beating but take a seat. Heal up.
This is why it's hard to go off on Waldron for me, I think the plays were there, Geno didn't make them.
If a 70% Geno is that much better than a 100% Lock, then we have much bigger issues.
