Late Monday Night NFC Football Thread 49ers Spotlight

but they didnt. still happy the 49ers lost

We saw the saints with 2 minute left in the 4th ready to score. They had a 2 TE set and the 9ers ran goaline D. To counter this the saints went 3 WR set. My point is this; with the rams our offense REACTS in a defensive manner and look to through more protection instead of aggresively allow the blitz and find the open receiver. Until WE burn them it will never change. We can do much better with the personel we have but it requires us to call aggresive plays and expose Bradford.

Also, we haven’t brought up
that OC’s need to adjust to their personnel. Different teams, as they acquire different players, should adopt schemes appropriate to them. For example, Shurmur should be utilizing the tight ends more considering our lack of talent at WR. Also, if two WRs on the outside can’t get open, Shurmur needs to complicate routes with picks and motion (or simplify the routes if that’s the problem.

Brees completed passes to 9 different receivers today with lots of success to Pierre Thomas.
Bradford completed to 7 with plenty of success from SJAX.

The big difference? The vertical threat and performance of Marques Colston who caught a 30 yarder to set up the game winner.

We need a #1 WR.oh, and that
we don’t have Reggie Bush. But most teams don’t have that receiving threat out of the backfield anyways. However necessary, getting a legit #2 rb doesn’t mean we receive that threat.

Haha Gore is a beast though.

Watching Mike Singletary get pissed off at those press conferences are worth the price of admission.

Turn the ball over or have some dumb penalty at a crucial moment. Then when that great 49er defense that was slapping the superbowl champs around all night all of a sudden becomes porous when they need a stop to get to overtime.
