Russell Wilson knew the question was coming and tri

RENTON https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerick-Mckinnon-Jersey , Wash. (AP) — ed to lean into it with some levity on Thursday.“I think somebody is missing a shoe somewhere,” the Seattle quarterback joked as he took to the lectern for his weekly press conference.So why was Wilson making jokes about shoes?San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was assessed an unsportsmanlike penalty in last Sunday’s game against the Seahawks for arguing with officials after Wilson tossed the lost shoe of linebacker Fred Warner to the side after a play. Seattle then went hurry-up offensively and the 49ers were caught offsides as Warner tried to exit the field and a replacement was late making the substitution.“It wasn’t a smart thing by me and something I can’t do,” Shanahan told reporters Monday.The shoe toss itself was seemingly not caught by either the FOX television broadcast of the game or the coach’s tape film made available to the public. Nevertheless, Wilson admitted to tossing the shoe between plays.“Listen, I didn’t know whose shoe it was, first of all,” Wilson said. “Second of all, it was right in the middle of my play. It had to go. We were going no-huddle and it was like right where we were going to pretty much snap it. And I was like ‘anyone’s shoe?’ and was like all right, whatever. So I threw it.”Warner lost his left shoe on the previous snap late in the third quarter as Seahawks left guard J.R. Sweezy stepped on the back of his heel while attempting to block him. The shoe came to rest of the 30-yard line directly on the left hash mark. The 5-yard run by Chris Carson on the play would have left the shoe 2 yards directly behind Wilson, who lined up under center at the 28-yard line, for Seattle’s next snap.An overhead shot on the TV broadcast showed Warner having retrieved his shoe departing the field from at least as far back as the 38-yard line. He could not get the footwear back on in time for the next play and Elijah Lee attempted to replace him on the field, drawing the offsides penalty.“I didn’t want to throw it forward because we were going that direction, obviously, toward the end zone. So I threw it back. I don’t know. I’ve never seen a shoe on the field like that in the middle of a play when I’m trying to go no-huddle,” Wilson said.Shanahan began arguing with officials about the whole scenario and was flagged himself for unsportsmanlike conduct.“That’s what I was trying to figure out DeForest Buckner Jersey , especially when another guy on the opposing team threw it,” Shanahan said Monday. “I’m not saying that (Wilson) did that maliciously or anything, who knows, but it was an unusual situation and it was my tipping point.”Wilson said he could definitely understand why the opposing head coach would be upset about how the sequence played out.“I understood why he did it. I wasn’t thinking about it in the midst of doing it,” Wilson said with a chuckle.The Seahawks would score a touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to finish the drive on an 18-yard pass from Wilson to receiver Jaron Brown. It was Wilson’s fourth touchdown pass of the game and second to Brown. We’re going to go around the league, looking at each division and seeing what vacancies could open up for Black Monday. Chances are, there won’t be any in Santa Clara, but a coach could bail to fill one of the vacancies elsewhere. Today, we have the NFC West.2019 is going to have a lot of safe divisions in football. The NFC West is one of those divisions that will have little turnover. Either coaches are doing well, or recent hires are holding things up to merit themselves another year. Ok scratch that, the “recent hire” is totally screwing the pooch and should be gone. We’ll get to that. Seattle SeahawksYou gotta hand it to the Seahawks, just when you think they are done, they go out and show you how stupid you are for throwing dirt on them. 2018 was supposed to be an offseason for them. One where they’d miss the playoffs and continue this rebuild. Well, they’ve played pretty well. That is, until they ran into the San Francisco 49ers who Garry Gilliam Color Rush Jersey , given the talent, embarrassed them. The Seahawks may get a playoff game, and a well deserved on at that, but they aren’t anywhere near a Super Bowl contender. That said, they are moving the roster around and thinking of the future. That’s a testament to Pete Carroll. He’s not going anywhere. The Seahawks need a bad, BAD season before they start firing coaches. They like consistency and stability (imagine that). Who should/will get fired: [copied from 2017’s primer] Nobody. Talk to me next yearArizona CardinalsWell, jeez. The Cardinals lost Bruce Arians and now have Steve Wilks running things in the Grand Canyon State. Wilks is a defensive minded coach, but the Cardinals had a lot of offensive turnover, losing Carson Palmerto retirement and Arians who was an offensive minded coach. Larry Fitzgerald remains, but for how long anyone could guess. In comes Josh Rosen, a player out of UCLA that has shown a lot of good and a lot of bad. It all boils down to the Cardinals needing an offensive coordinator to develop Rosen, and at the moment, they don’t have it. They fired their original offensive coordinator, Mike McCoy, a play caller who was at one point well respected in this league. Now they have Byron Leftwich calling plays https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Garrett-Celek-Jersey , but the Cardinals are still getting picked apart with little answer. The Cardinals at one point had a decent defense, but it just finished getting blown out by the Atlanta Falcons. Someone has to fall for this, and while the talent is lacking, there’s something wrong here. Wilks has to go, but he’s going to get another year. Who should get fired: Steve WilksWho will get fired:NobodyLos Angeles RamsThe Rams have had Sean McVaystill producing results. One has to wonder when all this talent has been pushed into the table that why McVay has had issues losing to the Chicago Bears while putting up six points. The Rams also had a disappointing game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football where Jared Goff just looked off, for lack of a better word. Regardless, this team is back in the playoffs and competing for the first seed. There’s no chance they send McVay elsewhere after he’s revitalized a team from the Jeff Fisher days. Who should/will get fired: NobodySan Francisco 49ersThe 49ers not only brought a coach in Kyle Shanahan and a general manager in John Lynch, but they also had a roster that was in the bottom of football. Since then, Shanahan has not only began developing talent, he’s also kept them motivated in what is a lost season. The 49ers are suffering the season from Hell, and Shanahan has kept the team from unraveling and getting toxic. Shanahan and Lynch have six year contracts. They are in the second year of those aforementioned contracts. Considering the offset language (there is none—Shanahan can be fired and coach somewhere else and get paid from both parties) it would beoutright foolish to end things at this point. Shanahan has gotten the best out of what he has, which right now is not much. The only thing concerning is 49ers owner Jed York. As long as he stays out of the way and lets his football team be ran, and everyone can get along — they have something special.Who should/will get fired: Nobody
