I wonder if this was done because of the Seahawks game potentially getting moved to later in the day.

That might be true. I wonder how long they have to decide if the Seahawks game will be moved to later in the day

Thoughts on hypothetical trade for Jeffrey Simmons? He would add a nice interior pass rush presence next to Vea.
We're paying the price for a half-measure taken by The Union 160 years ago.

The New Union will correct that mistake.

No thanks. Having that much money tied up in the interior DL is not ideal.

This is the target.

If we had better LB and DL play, I'd say we could have a shot at it.

There is a vast difference between “reasons” and “excuses”.

Well it does seem he is struggling in pass protection and yes we probably could run the ball better. I hope that changes against Seattle in a big way.

I wonder if they would share the “cooler part of the day” with us? Probably not I guess…

Who does Heck have to block today? Seems like Seattle relies heavily on their linebackers. Demarcus Lawrence is out.

For one, Lawrence is primarily a pass rusher.

I have no idea about ESPN’s evaluation team or process. But I both watched the 9ers live and looked at some game tape. Charlie Heck was one of the worst OTs I’d ever seen attempt to block at the NFL level. It was particularly bad for the 9ers Outside Zone-centric scheme. So when we decided to part with Skule as our depth OT (who played competitively well in relief after his horrendous game 1) for Heck + $470 k…I was…staggered. Decision made zero sense then as it does now.

Heck has been this year what he was last year. PFF trivially has this one correct. ESPN’s evaluation team is consulting some deranged oracle for their grading.

Just noticed - Goedeke managed to miss the Seattle game in 2022. He was getting fitted for his helmet..
