I'm pleased to see the Elephant formation brought back from the dead, but then again I have something of a vested interest in that, don't I?

There have been some TD's and big plays with Soap... its working just fine.
when you occasionaly throw it really puts the Defense in awkward positions.

Harbaugh is all about balance. Our balance, other guys' imbalance.
I hope we run a Godzilla lineup out there with all 300 pounders sometime.

No good. We should go back to being non innovative like SingleBrainCell.
~ Get back to slogans like "we must run the ball."
~ "We are not a charity."
~ Drop pants in locker room and try to motivate guys.

Sometimes Soap completely whiffs on a block in pass protection like today, or blocks the wrong guy on a run play.
But I like it as an occasional look.

Love the heck out of it. Harbaugh and our OC aren't stupid folks. They will mix it up and the league is not really sure what they'll do with Soap back there. And even if they do run it, it isn't like he's 140lbs of shake and bake coming at you. Dood could break a pool table if you made angry lol.

I like it when we need MAX power-run-blocking for short-yardage or four-minute offense. When we have the regular offensive line, Snyder, Boone, Sopoaga, Davis, Miller in there... that's quite a lot of power.
I don't like it when we don't necessarily need it. Sopoaga is our nose tackle, and perhaps the most important piece of our 3-4 defense. I think we'd be better served if Alex Boone, Chilo Rachal, or (healthy) Moran Norris took that spot. I'd prefer Sopoaga wasn't in there during the first three quarters. But if it's a big piece of why our running game is succeeding, I'll gladly take it.

Chilo would miss his block...

I'm sure Frank Gore doesn't mind a 332 pound Samoan guy built like a tank lead blocking for him.

I absolutely love what it says about the identity of our team. Ain't nobody else lead blocking with their nose tackle!

we play Soap too much like he is a lineman when he is the best WR in the NFL.
