This issue about the whole not getting plays into Alex within the time is infuriating. I don't get it... So when Jimmy Raye is picking a play does he like wait to see if the play works and then thinks about the next one? WTF. Dude should have plays ready to go after he picks his play. One if the play doesn't work (air and ground) and one if the play does work (air and ground). I just don't understand.
Another observation that really worried me is that there was NO urgency? What the f**k was that about? Alex is walking slowly to the line of scrimmage....
And what was with the punt when it was 4th and 9 and we're in their side of the 50? We'll gamble for 4th when we can get much needed for sure points in the 1st quarter but down 22 with 12 minutes left we punt? Jimmy Raye doesn't have a play that is over 9 yards?
God this was a horrible and worrying game.
I think it takes so long cause raye is waiting for madden to get to play calling screen so he can see what madden suggest.
His assistant has to wake him up because he falls asleep every 45 seconds.
But in all seriousness, Alex's post-game interview... he swallowed his obvious fury about the fact that the plays aren't coming in. How does our coaching staff continue to have this problem? What did they think when it's not preseason, they'd choose the play faster.
Like I've said before -- Jimmy Raye could be the worst OC we've had. Worse than Hostler. Yeah, I said it. But we do okay, you say? Well I think that the actual talent level masks the fact that the play-calling is an abomination. How many times did Alex Smith throw over 15 yards (please don't say he can't throw over 15 yards, I'm saying look at this from a game-planning standpoint)? You throw less than 10 yards every f**king down, the defense starts to play compact, 8 in the box, and you STILL don't try to capitalize? We have the weapons to go deep. I can't believe we didn't we try a 3 WR 2 RB with Crabtree, Morgan, Ginn, Westbrook, and Gore. We have players to make a defense crazy but when we're playing HB Dive, FB Dive, 8 yard out and that's it -- nobody is getting fooled. ONE TIME WE USED A SLANT
, ONE TIME there was an in route past 10 yards. It's sickening. Absolutely sickening to watch. Sorry for the rant. When we ran a draw play down 22 with 9 minutes left I wanted to throw my controller into the TV screen.
