I was watching that thread featuring the Superbowl plays in 95, and saw how Shanahan had used base personnel in different looks, I think the coaching staff should, and I think they've been doing something close to that.

I'm not convinced there's anything more beautiful than a tight end drag. Even Vernon's heavy thundering feet and a slightly high and wiggly Alex pass become a magical ballet.

Also enjoy the fake handoff at the goal line when the running back sells a swan dive over the pile and every linebacker in the world leaps for him but the ball enters the love nest elsewhere.

The Steve Young Bootleg to Brent Jones. Vernon Davis can make a living on this play.

Quick Slants

4 WR sets and going downfield

Roll out plays to get Alex out of the pocket to make plays ..when Norv was here he got Alex to make some plays when he rolled him out and got the ball out quickly

The tight end throwback, where QB rolls right, playside TE fakes a block then swims opposite the current of the pursuit and pops out on the backside. I swear, every time this play gets called the TE is wide open.

THIS! My favorite play, works everytime! Also, we used to run a QB sneak where only he and the center knew. I saw SY run this a lot.

one that comes to mind is the seam route to vernon davis deep downfield....that play worked so well, that defenses have really geared up to stop it, yet im not sure i recall niners even trying it once this year (i know smith overthrew davis deep vs cards, but that didnt look like the play that they used to work so well)

another would be the roll right and throw back left to davis---that has gone for tds in past years (opener vs cards in 1986, and acouple years ago vs seahawks)

wow davis must be old.

but a screen pass, whether it be to davis, walker, gore, hunter, williams, crabtree, ginn hell i don't care. just chip the rusher, let him by and throw it behind him with 2+ blockers in front.

Throws to the backs or Tight Ends in middle of the field. It seems do we do a lot of throws to the sidelines which is ok, but you have to mix it up.
