We need Branch(FS) and Mitchell(SS) at the safeties, we need Howard at SLB or WLB because he’s the only LB with the speed to cover backs and TE’s! Surprise some teams with the wildcat , let MCFading work in spaces. Use him like New Orleans uses Reggie Bush!!!!!!!!

I think we played possum last night and i think we shud start bruce campbell at that right guard spot and either put valdeer at left tackle. cause herderson is off and on everytime i see him play. He gave up on that play that got JC blown up if i was the line coach i would have chewed him out. Since bush is out DMC needs to step up and run like hell during the season opener and i pray to god that our run defense steps up cuz we got to speed demons on that team.

R McClain had a terrible game but:

Did Trevor Scott play?

Talk about a non factor in a game!

He went to the wrong gap, got blown up by smaller running backs blocking him, ran by the runner with the ball. Never heard his name called once.

Hey Tom it looks like your T Scott linebacker experiment is an utter failure!!!!!!!

McClain got pushed around on that big run, he had the deer in the headlights feel, I just turned 21 last month what am I doing here, thing going on. We’re asking a hell of a lot of this young man, in time he will be an outstanding MLB, just needs experience and the confidence and muscle memory that comes with it. Its like he’s analyzing what to do, but the NFL is very much faster than the SEC. He needs to learn to know what to do at NFL speed with out having to think about it.

defenses do gear up when dmc is in the game thats where he and the oline have to get better. whether yall like it or not he may have to get the ball more if this bush injury is more serious than it seems. i really dont believe we have the talent on the oline to win battles throughout a full season. theyll have their moments but i expect to win some games in spite of them. guys are just goin have to make plays and look ugly while doin that.

You know, it’s probably good for them that they got outplayed this time around. They did well to capitalize on the Bears’ weaknesses. But they needed to see what it’s like to go up against a solid offensive line, an aggressive defense led by a monster like Patrick Willis, and an offense with a few established big-time playmakers.

Hopefully they know what they did wrong and can come back stronger. The defense in particular had played pretty well before tonight, and had their moments against the 49ers. But for the most part its a young group of players (especially without Richard Seymour around) who are still learning their roles. So maybe getting lit up on some long runs in the pre-season is not always such a bad thing, as long as the players learn from it and adjustments are made.

That said, in spite of Mario Henderson’s blown play I think this was the offensive line’s best outing as a group.
