4 things we learned in the 49ers loss to the Cardinals (and 1 thing I still think about) I’d love to be in the film study session with the San Francisco 49ers after the Arizona Cardinals mess. Yes Womens C. J. Beathard Jersey , I’m calling it a mess, not a game, or a loss. Just anb unnecessary mess. Unacceptable is one of the many words I could use to describe what was shown on Sunday. Pathetic could be another one. The 49ers are hurt by injuries, and are still a young team, but they are also in the second year of their rebuild. Teams like the Cardinals should be beat. In San Francisco no less. There’s way too much we’ve learned watching this blunder, so this is more like I’ve put it all in a hat and drew three things we learned. C.J. Beathard is one of the unluckiest quarterbacks to play the gameThe 49ers backup quarterback has his own share of blame for how things ended on Sunday, but we can’t pile it all on him. Beathard isn’t taking the team to a Super Bowl, or the playoffs, or maybe even another win if he’s going to keep getting stripped like that. He at least can put together a drive or two Womens Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , nothing more evident than the opening drive on Sunday. Marching down the field, punching it in, all one had to think was this was a sign of a great game by the 49ers. Then his second drive he threw a ball to Pierre Gar莽on that was batted away. By Pierre Gar莽on. Of course it results in an interception and things get worse from there. The NFL is a passing league. You aren’t going to go well if you can’t pass. To Beathard’s credit he’s thrown some decent passes, if only his pass-catchers could catch it. This isn’t cleaning Beathard of any blame. He had some very strange throws and held the ball far too long. The 49ers defensive performance is a mirage to a bad Cardinals offenseThe 49ers may be preaching violence. But it’s probably that cartoon violence you see on the crummy cartoons that came on weekday mornings just to get you to go to school.The 49ers defense had minor improvements against a putrid offense. Don’t let the Cardinals fool you—that is not a good offense at the moment. Just because the Cardinals couldn’t convert 3rd downs is more on them and less on the 49ers defense. Besides the opening play of the Cardinals which led to a monster touchdown, this game rests more on the lack of execution on the 49ers offense than anything they did on defense. Raheem Mostert is a much better gunner than a runner Mostert was one of the contestants playing “Cough it to the Cardinals” flipping a ball to the defense which led to the second Cardinals touchdown of the day. The fumble itself was a result of Matt Breida being injured. Had Breida been not been getting checked out for his ankle injury, he may have been the one in the game. Mostert had a fumble in the preseason and also fumbled on one of his few carries in 2017. It all means one thing: Mostert can’t be trusted with the ball. He’s a much better gunner than a runner on special teams. His value on special teams cannot be overstated. As a piece on offense? The 49ers need a new third running back. Mostert isn’t it. C.J. Beathard is a career backup, if thatI said that Beathard was the best chance for the team to run Kyle Shanahan’s offense. I still stand by that statement, but he also isn’t going to give the 49ers the best chance to win. Twice Beathard had the ball stripped from his hands and both times they are on him for holding the ball too long and not A) taking off or B) throwing it away. That’s two of the five turnovers. I have nothing more to say on this than you aren’t going to win a game with five turnovers. Especially when half your team is on IR. And we haven’t even gotten to the interceptions yet. One was not on him. The other was just bad. At least he isn’t Nathan Peterman, but Beathard is not going to go Nick Foles and help emerge as a threatening quarterback. Not with performances like these. 49ers can’t catchWe’ll get more into this when the numbers get compiled and released http://www.49erslockerroom.com/authenti … ard-jersey , but the pass catchers had themselves a day, didn’t they? Goal line passes, two-point conversions, wide-open-between-the-numbers, you name it, the 49ers couldn’t catch it. I think catching a cold is easier than what they were trying to do. Which makes one wonder. They can’t wrap up, they can’t catch. What are the 49ers practicing? Besides Kyle Shanahan’s hard offense. Some of these catches, like Cole Wick’s dropped touchdown catch, were so obvious and easy the foghorn (that goes off with every 49ers TD at home) went off for a brief moment until everyone realized it was a drop. Week 1 Womens Kentavius Street Jersey , it’s sloppy, Week 5, it’s disturbing. No other way to put it. And here’s what I’m thinking about Those Chevy commercials during the game need to goI’m getting this off my chest. Chevrolet has a series of commercials highlighting how they are finalists or winners with J.D. Power (the absolute indicator it’s a Chevy commercial, when J.D. Power is name-dropped). It begins with a single car mentioned for an award, and ends. Then another commercial follows right after with more cars, and ends. Then there’s a third one with more cars and an end, teasing the end of what should be another lame car commercial only to extend it by, yep, another car commercial. The guy announcing everything says with this smug grin Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey , “Well, third time’s a charm.” I hope I can speak for most everyone when I say nobody likes commercials at face value. They are a necessary evil to a football game unless it’s the Super Bowl, beer, or a strutting pony. Car commercials are oftentimes the absolute worst. Teasing me the end of a commercial twice and then giving me some smug “not my fault” look on the third does the opposite of making me a customer.Chevrolet trolled me hard during with this ‘series’ of commercials. It didn’t help that the 49ers were losing when they hit. Ian Williams spent six years playing along the defensive line for the San Francisco 49ers. His final year with the 49ers was DeForest Buckner‘s first with the team after being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.Buckner is coming off a career year for the 49ers. He had 12 sacks last year for San Francisco after combining for just nine in his first two seasons combined. He now has additional firepower around him on the 49ers defensive front as well following the offseason acquisition of Dee Ford from Kansas City and the selection of Nick Bosa in the first round of this year’s draft.Williams, now an analyst for NBC Sports Bay Area, believes that less could now prove to be even more for Buckner and the 49ers.“I hope they cut down on his reps this season because it starts to show later on in a game and later on in the season,” Williams said of Buckner, via Matt Maiocco. “He can take some of these reps off.”Buckner played on 852 of the 49ers 1,073 defensive snaps last season with an additional 164 reps on special teams. Only linebacker Fred Warner was on the field more often than Buckner was in 2018 Roger Craig Jersey White , per Pro Football Reference.With Buckner, Ford, Bosa, Solomon Thomas and Arik Armstead along the defensive line in 2019, the 49ers should have more flexibility to dial back Buckner’s reps and maintain a similar standard of performance.“They’re in prime position to showcase their talents. Solomon and Arik, they went in the first round for a reason,” Williams said.If it also means Buckner can be fresher and produce even more, that would seem to be a win-win for the 49ers.
