Why don't we take advantage of the hard count?

Agreed, he got them offside against the Vikings but it didn't get called and it ended up giving the D and advantage. The niners have been getting a little screwed with calls most of the year (excluding the Rams game) so maybe he feels it'd be safer to just know who's blitzing and keep the D off balance but not necessarily get a penalty call.

Even better question...Why aren't we calling audibles when they stack the line with 8-9 players?

We probably don't use the hard count becuase our OLine sucks and would probably false start.

Because there is no need to. According to Raye, the other team putting 8 in the box gives us the opportunity to add an 8th blocker. So, you see, the other team gets no benefit from putting 8 in the box because we block them all anyway...

It looked like Shaun was making a lot of audibles last game. I only got to watch the first quarter, but I saw a few.

You can usually tell when a QB is changing a play pre-snap. I don't see a lot of it either.

I agree, if you watch the game against Arizona, they anticipated the snap count and were in our backfield just as gore got the ball, same with the Minnesota game. I think Hill needs to do more hard counts to keep the D line guessing.
