For some reason this one line of Harbaugh's really got me pumped. For years now, I've watch 49er games never more than hoping we would be lucky enough to eek out a victory. Long gone are the days when I turned on a Niner game only to wonder how much we would win by and not if we would win. So when Harbaugh said, "we want to build a bully," I near jumped out of my chair. Oh how I hope the Niners get it right this time, because I'd love to watch a bully on Sunday morning.

I loved that line too. That's what we were in the 80's and 90's, and it's what the Pats are today. I love the idea of getting back to that.

Sing said that same stuff with our ol.....but i actually believe our new coach can do that. All we need is another fight guard and we will win our division as is. Even with our qb situation and our cbs.

Unlike Sing, Harbaugh is talking more than physical. I believe he is talking about the aggressiveness of the overall philosophy. The idea that winning by 7 points is almost losing. The mentality that says we want to beat you so bad in the first three quarters that you are playing our 3rd string QB in the fourth. That's what I picture when he talks about bullying.

I don't have a problem being physical, as long as it's physical with a PH. I'm sure Jim gets it lol

as is? that's a reach, i don't think Troy smith can do it.....

No not a reach at all.....in our division it is not a reach. We have the best d the best running game best te....and with alex smith the best or at least similar qb.....without alex our qb takes a bit of a hit bit still on d running game and te we could win the division with these new coaches ALONE
Remeber when Harbaugh ran up the score against USC....That sent a message that USC is no longer the big bad bully...there is a new sheriff in town and his name is HARBAUGH!!!!!!

Not buying it elguapo.
So far Harbaugh's belligerent one-liners are better than Singletary's. This is much catchier than "physical with an F".

WTF does that even mean?

Sorry, but there's no way Alex Smith is the best QB in the division (if he stays). Sam Bradford was better last year and will probably get a lot better than that this year. No chance.

Who knows?

(Seriously, who out there knows?)
Our philosophy is this, we go out and hit them in . . .

Oh wait, nevermind.

Between all the praising of Gore and saying we get a big helping of CREATIVE Gore and praising Alex it SOUNDS a lot like No Win and Sing.

God I hope I am wrong and I think Harbaugh actually will not be afraid to win instead of pulling crap like kicking after winning the coin toss.

The Rhetoric, at least, sounds similar so far. Time will tell about the results and I am optimistic. Not Hating.
It's been a long time since we've won consistently, let alone won while exhibiting a "killer instinct."

Hope this is the dawning of a new era.
Hopefully this means we build a team that can win on the road! Like the old niners, they walk into your stadium and it became theirs. Cause were good at home and play like s**t on the road!! He said creative runs which means more line shift and getting a good match up when theirs 8 in the box.

I like what baalke said just as much, you don't build your team to match some others identity... You build your team and let it's identity reveal itself based on the teams strengths.
