Originally posted by Hawksfan81:Good point Hawk. It's a game of adjustments and good DC's make you go to your second or third option. The Jags couldn't do much because of a lack of a passrush. The Seahawks don't have that problem and that's why I see a tough game for Smith.Originally posted by Joecool:Originally posted by Hawksfan81:
Here is my opinion on the subject. I think that you have had success with the passing game since alex came back because people are still figuring out crabtree and smith has been rejuvenated with his starting roll. Its basically all new. Teams have a couple games to look at now and can start to break down film of the new niners offense and start to game plan appropriately. Not to say you won't have a better offense than you did with hill under center, but I do think that there will be some dropoff in the passing game from what it has been as of late.
Teams may figure Smith and/or the offense out, but they won't figure Crabtree out because Crabtree is just too good.
Right. But a good DC can come up with a solid game plan for him that can minimize his effect. The hawks did it against steve smith in '05 in the nfc championship game. It certainly is possible to limit a guys productivity thru solid game planning. I don't know that it will happen this week, but the more film there is on this offensive combination you guys have the easier it will be to prepare for it.

Don't think this will be a 300 yard passing game. Look for passing plays with Gore in to block for a few times throughout the first quarter to set up the run. Going to need some yards from Frank to help win this one. Will be plenty of passing too. Need balance and the game will dictate how much run and how much pass. Expecting a win and hoping Minnesota help us too. GO NINERS!!!!

And we absolutely SHOULD have paid Michael Crabtree in July. If we had him earlier, he would have produced earlier, which could have led to more wins. Crabtree's holdout might keep us out of the playoffs.
