will the Niners use the run to set up the pass or the pass to set up the run | Page 2

My opinion is Singletary is in charge, so he wants to be a pound it up the gut type of coach. He will force feed the team and the fans to run first. This is the easiest offense to stop, the other D coordinators will stack the box making 3 and long typical. By game 8 Singletary will revert to spread offense, pass first, then running when the middle of the field is open due to spread offense and 3-4 WR's.

Why do you not want one of the best RB in the league to have the ball with an O-Line geared for power-running?

No, we will use the run to set up the run and the pass to set up the pass.

Jimmy Raye either ran the ball a lot or passed the ball a lot. Rarely did he do something in between. He is VERY old school:

I'm passing, try and stop it. Oh s**t! You stopped it, but not the next one! Here's another pass!

I'm running, try and stop it. Oh s**t! You stopped it, but eventually our 2 and 3-yarders will become a 50-yarder!

I'd kinda like to see a lot of 3 WR sets at first, and see where that gets us. If the defense stays in their base, then we jack em up with our passing game. If they concede by adding a DB to defend our 3 WR sets, we smash them with the rush attack.

( of course, VD is out there also... I'm not talking about a 3 WR set with 2 backs and no VD )

What WILL we do? Balance, balance, balance... probably more I-form rushing to set up the pass.

No need to apologize

Should be a good game though. Last couple of 49ers/Seahawks games in Seattle have come down to the wire.

I think there should be an option for either/or.

I think it was in 2006 when my favorite Alex Sniff play of all time occurred against the Seahawks. Axle absorbed a hit rolled to his left, snubbed a streaking AB WIDE OPEN in the corner of the endzone for a touch pass to Gore... that game DID come down to the wire. Then Norv Turner left, and Nolan... ARGH! n/m we all know what happened.

I believe it can work both ways. If you pass gas first then that sets up everyone around you to run away. On the other hand, you may want to wait until everyone runs up to you and then that will set you up to let em have it by passing gas.
