looking around the league -- nearly everyone is banged up

I guess depth becomes super important then.

Like the Phoenix, Keim has risen from the ashes of his substance abuse problem. As an example, our entire starting secondary are his draft picks, and are playing pretty damn well. It appears he's put-together a starting 22 that is more than capable of getting to the playoffs.

But, now that we're about to depend on our depth, are we going to again pay for his sins of yesteryear? Although the rebuild of our starting line up has been nothing short of miraculous considering how bad were were in 2018, has he had time to also rebuild the entire two-deep?

I guess we're about to find out.

Another thing I would do if I was Vance is play Budda down in the box.

He's played this Niners offense a bunch and he always plays it well. He's good at blitzing. He's good at reading the run and filling gaps. He's good at covering that dink and dunk pass game they like. Budda in the box and Thompson deep would make it very tough for the Niners.

Kittle needs to change his play-style up.

Actively looking for contact isn’t the way to go.

Yeah great player but that's what 3 years in a row with a real injury

I’m wayyyyy too jacked up for this game. Went to the grocery store twice to stock up on about 150 bucks of just everything to take over to my buddy’s house I haven’t seen in six months for us to simulwatch Cards and Raiders on two big screens side by side.

This game has upset alert only because Cardinals cannot stop the run. They suck at stopping the run since VJ has been here. If Cardinals run defense is even average 9ers have no chance without Jimmy, Kittle, Mossert and their injuries.

Some where Derrick Henny is watching tape of ARZ vs. MIN and LA, and going WTF?

How did we stop DH? How?

To be fair he got injured because Jimmy G threw him a hospital ball. Same as he did the previous years vs us.
I know but he was already banged up going into that Seattle game last week. Unlike Kelce, Kittle always looks for contact & tries to run everyone over. Deebo does that too.

Maybe I’ll walk over to wiener schnitzel and get a couple brats... give it the tailgate feel

I understand.

Look, I don't care if people disagree with me, or even if they say that my opinion sucks. But there are certain lines that civilized people don't cross during discussions. Which, in my opinion, you did frequently back in the 2018 season.

It's been a while since then, and so I'm asking you if you've mellowed out a little in the meantime.

Just talk football. This entire thread was doing exactly that before you decided to literally derail it to lob personal attacks that apparently you’ve been holding against me for three years by your date.

I’m not gonna take the bait and get into a flame war. Just talk football, cool?

I ain’t taking the bait. Just talk football, like people were doing the previous 20 pages of the thread.

Whatever man.
