Defensive coaches have earned their pay. Maybe they should put Richard Torres on offense too. I love watching him play.

We had 4th and 1 on our own 44.

First, we should’ve asked for a review of the spot, as huge as that was. Wouldn’t have mattered if we lost a timeout for a challenge; we still had the ball.

SJSU did not take any timeouts in the 3rd quarter. They used up all of their timeouts by the time we faced that 4th and 1 situation. However we lined up, they couldn’t have stopped game play to make any adjustments. While they were scrambling to get the right personnel on and off of the field for the punt, we should’ve snapped the ball to draw a too many men flag. We always take too long to line up and snap the ball. We could’ve taken advantage of that situation.

Going back to my comments about heaving those long bombs…

Most of what we saw on tv were tight shots. By the time the camera zoomed back out, all we saw was a long ball being thrown. Having no opportunity to see the full play develop, I have to take back my criticism. Maybe SJSU had all the short stuff constantly covered, which led our offense having to go for those long throws. However, if our QB is scrambling around, our receivers won’t break off their route and come back to help out. Maybe that’s also why we end up seeing so many long bombs. I miss seeing the short passes with YAC to move the chains… those quick releases a second or two after the snap that are high percentage and can’t be stopped. If they’re playing five yards off of the ball, then make the throw and try to take those 5 yards. If we make them miss, we gain more.

No matters now. Game pau. We’ve got seven games left. We gotta come out each week on fire. We gotta find that rhythm sooner, and we can’t find it by throwing bombs. We gotta get a feel for the game speed earlier in the game.

Let’s go, Warriors! The rest of the season is yours. What are you gonna do with it?
