9ers havent even let Westbrooke play a down, just to get him use to the feel of the game again. If they do put him on the field more often against his old team. I expect a lot of rust from Westbrook, a lot!

Westbrook played one down against the saints in the wildcat. He lined up outside against the falcons, but a timeout was called prior to the snap. Just sayin.

The time out was called because Wesbrook lined up in the wrong spot or was motioned and didn't move. Notice Alex waving at him several times and he doesn't move, so he had to call the timeout.

But that's the problem, they are only putting him on the field for stupid wildcat s**t. Line him up in a twin back set or as RB like he has always played.

that would be sweet. have him and gore come out of the backfield and cross paths in a pass route. One of them is bound to get open.
i think he needs a third of the carries at this point. i love me some frank the tank but let's switch it up until a defense actually has to question what we're going to do.
as someone mentioned before though, Gore is SO GOOD at EVERYTHING. Blocking, receiving and running. There really is no point in taking him out anymore than a play here and there for a breather.

Which means we should definitely bring in westbrook while Gore is in there. I'm sick of the two TE sets. They don't do s**t. I'd rather have another WR or westbrook in there. Also, get rid of the FB sets. In case people haven't noticed, our running game blows.

with the injury to Walker i really believe we will see more Gore and Westbrook on the field together

Jesus, you almost have 44,000 post, you sick sick man.

But yes, they have to stop with the dumb trick s**t. Just confuse the other team with some Gore/Westbrook back field, both are great pass catchers and would open up the field for our other play makers also.

He has NEVER averaged less than 4.0ypc in a year, he is an amazing receiver, he rarely fumbles, he has fresh legs at this point, Gore needs to rest to stay strong all year, we need a spark at 0-4 against the Eagles, its his former team that released/traded him and his good friend McNabb.

It is obvious to me that he needs to be more involved this Sunday.
the last thing Mike J. wants to do is clone what Jimmy Raye did. So I'm sure we'll see a more dynamic offense as the weeks progress. Last week he had what, 6 days to prepare? This week we should start to see a little of his own flavor on the offense. Can't wait.

Raye's playbook lacks imagination, and so does Sing's brain. They'd rather hand the ball off to Gore 18 times in a row, risk injury, etc. rather than change it up a bit and give guys like Westbrook or Dixon a chance.

To be honest, we probably have a top 3 backfield in our arsenal.........yet we refuse to utilize it.

Pathetic.....

Actually, I think Sing has a huge imagination. I think he dreams of himself atop the winners podium at the end of the SuperBowl being praised by Stuart Scott as a Hard-Nosed Warrior coach in a finesse league.

If 49ers can't find way to get snaps for Brian Westbrook with Walker's high ankle sprain, it indicates coaches think he can't contribute.

We will see Sunday night because without Walker we need another player to step up...Williams and Westbrook are two people that come to mind with speed and agility.
