It was like a diagonal slant from the LOS towards the center of the defense with a quick sharp perpendicular 90 towards the corner route, then cut back 90 degrees the other way to a standard post pattern.

The fact that it was a pretty cool play and that it was designed with JT in mind was something notable to this Niner fan.

I believe it was a TD by Crabtree in that game. I remember Thl had a gif and play art drawn up. Here's some old school playart for the Dino:

Didn't Bengals drop an easy int right before this? Lol

They did.

I think the previous 49er drive yes, but not on this final drive....lol.

Yep. It was right before the TD where JR tucked the ball around the front flag
