The issue of the routes being called...

NinerPrideinNJ · 2009-11-29T17:27:17-08:00

Firstly, I'd like to say that I'm thrilled to see the Niners notch a W. My concern with the play calling comes with the routes that our receivers are running. With the exception of Vernon Davis and his persistent seam route up the middle, the receivers are constantly running hitches and short crossing patterns. How many times are they going to throw the ball to someone only a yard beyond the line of scrimmage with no room to run when we need to convert big yardage. Would it kill to call slants and allow our receivers to catch the ball in stride with room to run? Am I missing something?

You're missing the pass that went through Crabtree's hands in the end zone. But generally you are correct.

That should improve as Coach Sing and Raye grow Confidence with the O-Line protecting Alex.

I agree, there was one 3rd and like 5 where every wr and te was running deep, and only frank was short.. routes werent developed yet and alex ran out of time.

this happens every game...

'Air Raye All the Way!' Took Week 13 to figure it out... but I think good ole Jimmy Raye has finally woke up from his nap!

Coach Singletary can't be delusional about this team being a smash mouth run first offense.

The spread offense is well suited for Alex Smith and it worked against J-Ville. Last thing the 49ers need is to tinker and go relapse back to Singletary's formula for success during back in training camp . Next up the Seahawks!

exactly.. Sing is right tho... we cant make the same mistake again and be one demensional towards the pass.. smith got lots of time because they feared gore.. lets keep it that way..
