Yeah, but I think they changed the strategy after Alex threw for 150 yards in the first half.
I know and we know they must have gotten REALLY scared when we gashed them with that run after they made the adjustment. If I were a coach, I would be thinking, "s**t, WTF do we do now?"
Coughlin was asked in one of the article about the Hunter TD. He basically said he has to look at the film to find out what had happened on that last TD. I just looked at the play again, there were 10 guys in the box with a DB out wide on Crabtree. Hunter still ran in untouched. That was sick
What's even better was that one of our assistants saw a weakness and called that play. Harbaugh's ego isn't as big as everyone thinks it is. He just hates losing.
Also nice to see we can make adjustments on the fly.
LOL, you'll also find out on NFL SFX that Alex almost forwarded for the 'audible', but stuck with his gut, and "LET IT ROLL".
It was actually Joe Staley and not his 'gut' that told Smith not to audible. He told Smith "Don't do it" and that's when Smith said "Let it Roll!" according to Adam Snyder.

This is a key in how much better this offense is this year. Alex has developed a lot of confidence in his line. Staley felt that they could create the hole and Alex demonstrated confidence in them and they did the job. This to me is a very positive sign. I know that I am much more apt to work harder for someone who demonstrates confidence in both my ability as well as my opinion.
