If we could pass block we'd be able to pass a lot better and we wouldn't need elite run blockers because the other teams would back off more. I mean as good of run blockers as we are look how many times we get stopped on 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 or on the goal line. Look at how many 1 to negative yardage carries we have due to the play calling predictability and teams stacking the box. Anyways, like I said many times before we have 5 years 30 (35 maybe) players who are looking for 5 years 40-50+ mil. Just wont happen with Baalke and I hope it doesn't. I'd rather overpay Aldon than overpay Crabtree, Iupati, Boone, Culliver, etc, etc.
So true!
