Hurts looks like he’s riding a conveyor belt into the end zone whenever they do that play.
As good as the blocking is, Hurts is a freaking Mack truck with his legs. It’s a perfect storm….
It’s mostly the C and two G’s and LT
It’s a rugby scrum. They went and watched the New Zealand all blacks. Seriously. That’s all they’re doing.
It used to be illegal for several years for the offense to push ball carriers from behind. Don't know why they ever made it legal to begin with.
They are gonna win the division and be the 2 seed over the Lions so they wouldn’t be on the road until they played the Niners in the conference champ game. I hate it for the Cowboys but they blew it yesterday. Neither of them are beating the Niners anyway.
He’s a turnover machine this year. And, without muh tush push, he wouldn’t be much of a fantasy QB, either. He’s a helluva athlete, but if they outlaw the tush push next season, he becomes that much more obsolete. He’s still adequate enough, just probably not gonna have another big contract.
Famous last words. Never say never. Jimmy Johnson should’ve won 3 in a row. But he didn’t.
He’s still being coached like a college quarterback. They give him one primary read, maybe two, take off. Watch him. He doesn’t look to go 123 maybe 4. RB playing qb.
Not only does he not make any reads but you can’t touch the qb under the bogus new rules. put Hurts in the nfl in 1985 and he would be forced to stay in the pocket and read defenses. try getting out of the pocket and running as a qb back then, imagine what the Bears defense would have done. they knocked 2-3 qbs out of a game several times.
I wish they would reverse it. I prefer watching good execution as opposed to who can push their players the best. But Im old school.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled that the Seahawks knocked off Philly last night, but the the thought of two SB caliber teams like SF/Balt playing on Christmas night for their respective #1 seeds had me amped up. It’s still an incredible matchup, but a little different now considering that SF has a little breathing room
They had some great camera work and replays during those plays last night. I saw a 250 pound man, Bobby Wagner, jump on the back of Hurts on multiple occasions when he was behind the line. Each time he carried that guy for a few yards after contact and on at least one occasion I did NOT see any Eagles push on Hurts.
The 49ers need to win two of the last three so they don’t necessarily have to win against Baltimore but you can’t slip up against Washington and the Rams. The Niners are really banged up on defense and if they’re going to make it to the Super Bowl they need to get healthy quickly.
