alex has always done a good job of looking off the safety, he constantly does that on those great vernon wheel routes

I've been asking the same thing; also, I was screaming for a bubble screen to a WR for most of last Sunday, as well!

that was last years excuse
Yep that's the standard preseason excuse that seems to be mistakingly used during regular season as well. The coaches should be using every play at their disposal that would give us the best chance to win on that day. There's only 16 regular season games, so they don't have time to hide plays.
Well, Walsh hid plays all the time, so I have seen the benefit, but I do agree that we need to unleash a few things to not only win, but to secure home field, and also to make teams, down the road, game-plan for sh!t that may not be coming on a given day.

Crabtree wouldn't be good at that!

With the right entourage, even you or I could be good at that.

Crabtree dances too much on those, you know who's awesome at those? Manningham, he does one cut and goes

Dont ya think the term "always" is a bit of an exaggeration?

Crabtree's entire college career was built on the bubble screen. We just throw those less than we do halfback screens.

This aint the texas tech offense and crabtree is a lot slower in the NFL than in college. Manningham is just quicker

KW's TD catch two games ago is enough evidence to me that we should in fact run screens for him. He took like 4 steps in 2 feet to turn around and leave the defender in his dust, his screens (and maybe some with Hunter) will more often than not result in some positive gains just b/c of their speed, and with our designed blocking, should be effective, BUT, the main thing here is the timing of when we should or should not call them. Teams seemingly can (or at least I can) predict some of the screen passes we've had in the past just b/c of the 3rd and long situation or whatever and so the point here is to mix it up.
And our screens need people with speed, Crabtree does have some nifty ability at times but he's been very effective in his routes lately so let him do that, we just have to take advantage of KW, Hunter, Moss? Manningham, and maybe Ginn (I'm not sure about his injuries and if they have something to do with why he's not in the slot every now and then).

Got to agree with this KW has great change with his hips, and gets up to speed like a Formula 1
