Last year Alex Smith excelled in the shotgun/spread offense. Why not go back to that, especially now against the saints? Establish the pass to get the run going....a west coast offense philosphy. Everyone knows our game plan to run Gore, but our line just isn't getting it done right now. I think we should go to the spread offense and have Gore/Westbrook or Dixon go out into the flats on some plays and have the saints defense guess who's going to get the ball. We have weapons on this team and we need to use them. What good are they if they sit on the sideline? With Crabtree, Morgan, Davis, Gore, and Westbrook on the field at the same time that will put pressure on the saints defense. Alex seems to do better while in the shotgun anyway.
My point is lets not play our normal gameplan against the saints. Let them think we're gonna run all day but we don't. Our defense is good, but which defense will show up on monday night? The defense in seattle or the defense that shut down AZ last year? The saints are going to throw the ball, almost gaurantee it, and if all we do is try to establish the run, we will definitely lose.
I've been listening to sports talk radio since Sunday and everyday is talk that the Niners got issues, the niners are exploding within themselves, the seahawks are going to win the West because Hasselbeck is the best QB in the division, blah blah blah.......Lets prove all the critics wrong.
All you fans attending the game Monday Night need to be loud as hell!! Show the saints that the seattle game was a fluke!! If we're going to prove to the league that we are better than week 1, the time to prove it is Monday Night.
THIS MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE
