Summing up the game was the performance by.....

Shane Smith.

I saw him in there for 3 plays.

- sack
- sack
- loss of 6 on a run play.

Tell me why he is on this team again? Seriously, he was brought in for pass protection and whiffed on his defender not once, but twice!!!!

saw that too

I mean how could you not?! Not sure what he's doing on the roster, but he shouldn't be there long. He looks like he's playing in a preseason game.....
So run blocking is his forte?

It sure the hell isn't pass blocking as he made Flowers look like Tony Bosselli
He has no business

being on the roster. I said that when camp broke. I get the idea of having a fullback, but not a fullback who can't block.
The one play  
McNally's_Nuts : 9/17/2018 10:02 am : link
sticks out.

It was a slot blitz, Eli checks into the right protection and still gets sacked anyways because the corner beat Smith.
was the worst 3 plays

ive ever seen a FB have---
for such a small sample size- was just embarrassing
He was awful  
Torrag : 9/17/2018 10:14 am : link
Failed on blitz pickup by a FB is a cutting offense. He should be gone.

I saw a thread last night saying that Eli can't diagnose nor solve a slot blitz.

I don't think it's all Eli's fault, I also don't think that Eli is playing well enough and he shoulders enough of the blame.
The ball hitting Shepard

Which would have been a tough catch for anybody.

I can cut Shep some slack on that, but what happened to the back shoulder throws? Did that leave when Gilbride left?
What I don't

get is -- if we're going with a FB as part of the offense, fine. But why him? Shouldn't there be plenty of better options out there given the amt of teams who don't use one?

When I saw the whiffs, it was downright embarrassing. He has one job. Put his body in front of defenders. The limited snaps that he is a part of, he can not be the reason for the blown play. He is not some sacred cow that can't be sacrificed. His contributions aren't so significant that he shouldn't be replaced. There has to be someone that is sitting on their couch that is willing to place their body in front of a defender.
In preseason, I noticed him whiffing  
ij_reilly : 9/17/2018 11:08 am : link
I thought he should have been cut, he's just not very good.

If Shurmur wants a fullback, this ain't the guy.
Rewatching that game from 2011 in Dallas

Not only was hynoski repeatedly praised for great blocking - he made game changing plays when it mattered. Even the D knew what was going to happen and the execution was just that much better than them.
On the record as saying this guy  
KerrysFlask : 9/17/2018 12:59 pm : link
is fucking terrible.

Can't believe we wasted a roster spot on this dude.

I'd bring back one of the TEs they cut and cut this guy.....  
Simms11 : 9/17/2018 1:28 pm : link
he's been terrible since he's been here. He's a very strong guy, but so was Mitch Petrus. He just can't play in the NFL. He's wasting roster spot IMO.
I was for keeping Martin  
NikkiMac : 9/17/2018 1:28 pm : link
And cutting Smith he is useless at least the way he’s being used it is
There's some others  
Now Mike in MD : 9/17/2018 1:37 pm : link
Martin biting on the exact same option play three times and losing contain

The wonderful angle riley took on the pass to austin

Omameh watching as a blitz shoots right up the middle because he's double teaming the end with Flowers.

No one on the right side being able to identify a stunt over and over and over again.
