Brandon Jacobs caravan | Page 7 | 49ers Webzone Forum

A group of 25 to 30 high end cars were racing down NJ Parkway, heading to Atlantic City. Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, with license plates covered with tape, and escorted by 2 state police cars with their lights flashing. Brandon Jacobs was part part of this caravan, according to a source with knowledge of the trip. His agent just claimed Brandon was part of a group that went to Atlantic City March 30th, and on that day. Brandon, who is known for his collection of fancy cars did tell Rides Magazine that he often cruises with the Driving Force Club, a NY City based elite car club for car fanatics that have a spice of racing and adrenalin rush in their hearts. Two videos were posted to Youtube which showed a caravan returning from Atlantic City on March 31st, and captions on the videos said the caravan included Jacobs. The videos have since been removed. Lovely, hope he still has the adrenalin and rush of speed in his heart during the season.

You guys are so critical.

He doesn't look like Brandon Jacobs from last year, that's for sure.

Looks totally invigorated.

He he stays on course we will have an array of offensive weapons that will be hell to game plan for.

Jacobs found the right team and the right coach in Rathman if he wants to regain his running style. Rathman when he played, most often rams people more than trying to go around them which he can also do. Jacobs has similar style.

After watching last nights game it became apparent to me that despite all the additions at WR, we'll probably run the ball even more than last year.

There are just so many options at RB for us. Gore, Hunter, James, Jacobs, Cartwright.

I see us giving carries to all 5 of those guys in any given game.

I was shocked by his speed around the edge on one of his runs. He runs around the right tackle and blew past the safety. Haven't seem him move like that in a while.

I think it was/is a battle between Cartwright and Dixon.

And Cartwright is winning.

The rest of the rb depth chart is pretty much set.

Maybe however this might be a clever misdirection by Harbaugh. He might want the rest of the league to think they are a run first team and then when the regular season comes around they could use a totally different game plan. I wouldn't put it past Harbaugh to have something like that up his sleeve.

You could be right but there's probably better talent at RB than WR.

Jacobs is definitely taking Dixon's job. I like boobie, but I do not see him making the team.

Harbaugh is a smart coach, we will be a BALANCED attack this year, those are the absolute best kind of offenses because the defenses cannot know what is coming. Just watch, I bet we are a balanced offense, and we will be effective.

Yeah you are right about that. I just meant they will probably be a bit more balanced like the guy above said. That first drive by Alex was almost exclusively run oriented. I think we will see more short passes mixed in there.

Would be hard to defend against a team that has a powerful running game and a powerful passing game.
