2-4-DAL 4 (:49) 21-F.Gore up the middle to DAL 4 for no gain (90-J.Ratliff; 55-Z.Thomas).
3-8-SF 3 (9:05) 21-F.Gore up the middle to SF 3 for no gain (90-J.Ratliff).

HUGE play!! inside the 5 you need to move the pile


and the play where Ratliff went untouched is all on Heitmann. He sets up the blocking assignments.
It's not like he hasn't done that before (see: Alex Smith injury)

The second play you listed was from the Niners's 3 yard line, not the Dallas 3 yard line. And, it was a 3rd and 8 play. Not a 3rd and goal.

I already chronicled the first play you listed as one of his weakest plays of the game.

The bias against Heitmann is out of control. Nobody every seems to blame Wragge, Baas, Snyder in short line situation. It is always the guy snapping the ball to the center. If someone can explain why none of the other guys get mentioned in this lack of surge, I would appreciate it.

Nice post maddog.

lol at you saying that ratliff is good cause (in addition to other reasons) he was put on the horse trailer.

I getting put on the horse trailer just means you had a good game.

Ratliff had a dominant game against the Redskins last week, and then was neutralized for almost all of the game by the Niners. That is one reason why Heitmann should be praised, not scorned.

I know what i said
I know it was on our side of the field
You still need to push the pile if not for a first down to at least give Lee some room

As for your second point
I agree they are all responsible for this

There is a reason why our run game improves when Wragge is at center

I think you have a biased opinion of Heitman is out of control too. Because I can not see the game again, I will DVR the rest of them. But I do know that though Heitman has decent highlights at part of his game, he is not a good center because he does not win the battles that he should consistently. and he always has been that way, nothing changed. A sporadic good play now and then is not going to help the team win against the better teams of the NFL, bet on it. As you even say, they were backed up against their own goal line, and he failed when it counted the most, that always has been the history with him. All of the decent plays in between means nothing when you can not count on him, when you need it the most.

So, you are implaying that it is solely Heitmann's fault for the problems at the goal line. Hill's pathetic percentage. Rachal possibly being the one who missed the assignment.

My question again: Why does it always fall on Heitmann, and Heitmann alone? It is a sloppy argument.

That is a down right lie. And there also wasnt a time when he went forward.

Maybe I'm just greedy or something but what's wrong with wanting even better play, even more talent from EVERYONE on the OL? Do I believe Heitman should be sat given who's on this team? No. Do I believe that we need better players? Absolutely. Should Heitman compete for his job if we find an upgrade at the position.

YOU BET YOUR ASS.

Heitman will be a backup next season move Baas over to C. No push from our Center, always gets pushed back. Doesn't provide a pocket for the qb. Sign a FA G next season. I don't know why we signed him to an extension.

We both know that Chilo did not miss that block, Heitman did. Since you have the game saved go back and watch the play again. He doubled down and blocked with Baas. Then he realized what he had done and turned and watched Ratliff run right by him. Then watch his body language. He blew it!

Thats very interesting, but I want to see him win his battle when things are on the line, and so far he has not accomplished that, so if he does, and I find out by scrutinizing each play he is what you say, I will be on board.

All of these players are better than Ratliff. Shall I keep going because he isnt even close to one of the best in the NFL!
