I'm sure the fact that ARI has a weak pass defense and strong run defense means they will play mostly a Nickel or Dime Defense. We can't run anyways and this will mean Delanie Walker won't have any mismatches.
I really think we need to go with 3 Wides with Jason Hill as the slot. He has the quickness for the position and he has very good hands.
Thats what we want. We want them to go to the nickle pakcage. Then we can unleash Frank.
Think about it!
They have and we have and Frank still hasn't been able to break the leash which is why if we are going to only run 9 times, then we should just go with a true slot receiver who can run better routes and get open more often rather than a TE on a DB.
Yet another uninformed Joecool post.
Quoted from Matt Maiocco's Instant 49ers:
Quote:
Why did the 49ers call 26 passes and four run plays in the first half? A lot of it was dictated by the Seahawks' decision to play their base defense when the 49ers had tight end Delanie Walker on the field, along with Vernon Davis.
In fact, there were several plays that were called run plays in the huddle that Smith changed to pass plays as part of the rules of Jimmy Raye's offense. Smith estimated that he changed a handful of plays.
"Some plays were running plays at the beginning of the game but because of what they had on the field, we audibled to a pass because it didn't make sense to run the play that we had," Singletary said.
I guess you didn't realize that SEA made us 1-dimensional. They dictated what we do and they DIDN'T want to see Gore. Who's uniformed?
It would be interesting to know what they did in the second half because that's when we couldn't move the ball. Also, how did Delanie, our mismatch wonder do? Would he be a decoy if he's not being doubled? I don't think so.
The fact is that we are weakening the receiving ability on the field because we are trying to get a mismatch. The problem is that then why are we not taking advantage of that mismatch on Delanie more often.
I think our OC is getting too caught up in this rather than just realizing that a guy like Jason Hill excels in the shorter routes and would really spread the defense post snap more than a guy like Walker.
Like I said, ARI most likely won't go base package. Teams will begin to figure out that we can't run the ball well at all and they will ONLY show Nickel or Dime. Then what?
