Did Seattle create the best blueprint to beat us?

Not at all. This was the same exact blue print all teams smoked us with last year. Stack 8-9 players inside the DE's and run blitz en route to stopping Gore or sacking Alex. This resulted in constant 3rd and longs and allowed the rest of the defense to rush the passer and play very aggressive in the secondary.

On offense, teams would exploit the passing game (making our run defense numbers look good), double down on Smith and never worry about Lawson/Haralson. Key in on Clements and Lewis in particular and spread out the defense and exploit the lack of speed. The sacks numbers will be collective but very few will make a difference in a game (pre-A. Brooks). Manusky runs a very vanilla 3-4.

It took teams 2 or 3 games last year to create this easy game plan and every team used it last season. Everyone knows how stubborn Singletary is when it comes to his philosophy on offense...hell, he telegrapged it in the media and backed it up with Raye and with his personnel packages.

This is a VERY easy team to game plan for. Can you imagine how hard it would be for a real coaching staff to game plan for New Orleans? Now, picture game planning for us. Night and day. The bigger issue is that WE DON'T GAME PLAN. We just play our game. Period.

You really think that this year you see will a vanilla defense from Manusky? Did you see P.Willis blitz during the preseason.

About our offensive play calling last year, um rate our o-line, PLEASE.

That guy is an atrocious writer. I'm not talking about the stories or the actual content of his pieces, but his lack of punctuation is so bad that it makes me not want to read anything he writes. I've never seen someone try to be a writer and not learn how to write. It's pathetic.

By the way, Jimmy Raye is the one who created the best blueprint to beat us.

He was smart, he just wasn't good. Keep yawning and take a nap rookie.

That's been the plan since game 1 of last season. Pretty sure we wouldn't have these problems if Martz was still here.


Might have other problems, but not this garbage

You are wrong. We IMPOSE OUR WILL!

Stop Frank Gore

Let Alex Smith and Jimmy Raye lose the football game for the Niners.


End of Game Plan.

They beat themselves.....

Thats a good point, just another reason to try other players from time to time. I have no idea why Crabtree was in there because he was not even ready to play. I would have had ziggy starting.

I was thinking the exact same thing, unfortunately.

I didn't read it. The joke's on you sir for attempting to.

This is the blue print to beating us.

#1 Stop Gore

#2 Pressure Alex from the left side

#3 Run double move routes against our aggressive and undisciplined CB's

#4 Play tight coverage against us in goal line situations.

LMAO. Teams needed a blueprint to beat the Niners?

You write like we were some unstoppable juggernaut.

Get real homers.

Pretty much agree with what everyone said... I say yes only becuase anyone could create the blueprint...

Cover the seam and stack the box... Sing said last year, i think, that he wanted to run the ball even when the other team knows we are going to run the ball... I dont know if that is possible... and right now it doesnt look like it... The NFL is just to good...

Bring your SS into the box and then take you FS to cover Davis down the Seam.... play soft with your corners and dont give up the big play...
