I'm glad they can block. Too bad they can't run and catch.

This is a good read.. I'm in the mindset that I want the Niners to win week in, week out.. I don't believe we could get extremely far by what we are doing, but I don't understand why after 2 wins, so many people complain about our WR's not getting looks..
I believe eventually that they will be getting looks and catching a lot more passes, but the fact that our guys are team guys that love every aspect of their role as a team player is much better..
Every one seems to forget that the OC they complained about in the offseason is the one that we just signed in the offseason.. This is a new offense that we are running.. Peyton Manning can run the team his way because it's been like that for years.. Eventually, the play calls will open up for Hill as both Hill and Raye get more comfortable with each other..

Oh definitely, nobody is talking about J-Morg's blocks, they were f**king huge on Sunday! I think it's amazing to know that we have wide receivers who take pride in blocking, cause most big-name (diva) wide receivers like Randy Moss feel as if they're beyond such a duty.
-I remember huge plays in the 80's/90's where Jerry Rice would set up monster blocks for Steve Young, Craig, and John Taylor down the stretch.

Because real teammates and receivers (like Jerry Rice) want to be champions no matter what their roll. Kids that want to be popular only care about one handed catches and "b" button moves. Go Niners!!!!!!!!!!

More like too bad the QB can't get them the ball, they have been open several times and Hill dumps it off to one of the backs or tight ends. Hill/Raye have to open it up for us to continue to win. Not every team sucks at run defense as much as the shehawks minus tatupu.

The blocking WR's go with our blocking TE ------ they are being taught that we are a running team.
