Our oline is ph*cking up any chance of experimentation or attempts at anything.

I WANT TO SEE SLANT-AND-GO Routes. PLEASE. Run a couple slants. Get the CBs positioned to defend it. With eight in the box.. run a slant-and-go.. let Alex pump.. and watch the receiver just be GONE.. blazing wide open down the field. Alex has dropped the ball over the top of defenders to Vernon a million times, he can do it with other receivers too. TRY IT.

Please. Please. PLEASE make them pay for loading the box. We are calling next to NOTHING to do this. Either that or when we do the OL has failed to allow enough time to get the deep pass off.

good post, and we have the speed to execute it too, ala ginn and edwards. but in order to setup the slugo route you actually have to run slants first and run them often. as i said earlier in this thread, i only recall one slant yesterday.

dont care worth the risk bring on the orly owls and cool story bros.cause i put my pride on the line for this team.you can change it to chicken fluker for all i care

Barring the glaring lack of slants, I'm okay with the play calling on the offense for the reasons previously mentioned.

What I'm not okay with is our defensive play calling. I'm in danger of chewing an arm off if I see one more threatened stacked house blitz that fades into soft zone coverage. We do this on seemingly every damned play in the second half. Lame delayed blitzes may cost me a chewed off hand.

Clearly, we're trying to protect our vulnerable secondary by sending four and running (it's hard to telll on TV because you cannot see the secondary) what I take to be some sort of squishy zone. I think we all agree that this isn't working. It's the boy that called wolf syndrome, or as I called it last year the 3-4 with a 4-3 mindset. Nobody is going to take your blitz seriously if you don't send it frequently enough to maintain the credibility of the threat. Worse, showing that blitz will illicit a competent QB to audible out of a run play (our strength) and into a passing play (which we are weak at defending). This seems counter productive to me.

Personally, I'd like to see our cornerbacks move up and jam the opposing receivers, and I'd like to see us start blitzing erratically and aggressively like a good 3-4 D should. I'll concede that my attention has been fixated upon the front seven so I have been negligent at watching our CBs this season, so there's a good chance that I'm way off in my assessment. But this year's D looks and smells a lot like Manusky's weenie blitz/squishy zone 3-4 with a 4-3 mindset D.

I want to know why the heck VD isn't being used as a receiver.

Because we picked a 6'3 1/2" 255 lb. TE who can run in the 4.37 / 4.38 range so he can stay in and block..... Just like we always have used him.

Its not the play calling, its the execution of the plays, thats the problem.

Dudes it's DWARE! the game plan was to keep blockers in because it's dware the best OLB i've seen since haley!

then why has cam newton who is a rookie thrown for 400yds 2 weeks in a row in the same offseason? its because he is passing the ball a hell of a lot more then only 22 times a game. he is benefiting from the playcalling. im still trying to figure out who exactly is benefiting from our playcalling because i dont see it.

Newton throws it up there to his receivers and lets them go make a play. Alex Smith doesn't.

Smith likes to check down. That's just the way he is. Newton is throwing some interceptions with his cavalier attitude, but he is also making plays. That's the way a lot of quarterbacks play. Tony Romo plays that way. These quarterbacks are willing to risk some interceptions if it means they will also make big plays.

Smith is playing VERY WELL. But the reason we don't throw down field as much as Cam, is because Cam is simply not afraid to. The Panthers offense is the same as it was last year, EXCEPT now they have a quarterback with great ability, and with an attitude of going for the big play.

so you bring in an extra lineman if you want to block ware, you can run a 2 te set and bring boone in as the 2nd te and then you send davis out on routes. that way you have the best of both worlds. but i will say it again, teams dont gameplan for davis`s blocking. they gameplan to cover him as a reciever. we just gave dallas one less thing to worry about, which was stupid because we were already without crabs and edwards. lets just make it easy on teams why dont we?
