Week 13: Thoughts after re-watching the game... | Page 5

Marvin49 · 2011-12-05T10:37:18-08:00

1) K. Williams: Kyle WIlliams needs more playing time. 2) Crabtree: Finally turning into the player I thought he was. He's just getting better and better. 3) K.Williams: Oh yeah, Kyle WIlliams needs more playing time. 4) Grant: I have to say that I was worried when WIllis went out that the Rushing TD record would fall (and almost panicked at the end of the game when the Rams almost got the ball on the long pass at the 1), but he came in and they didn't miss a beat. Its nice to have depth. Now that could change if a team can gameplan to isolate him, but he filled in very well. 5) Alex: He still misses some wide open receivers at times, but the guy is really playing well. If Davis catches the ball he has ANOTHER TD. If Crabtree catches the quick slant in the 1st quarter he may have ANOTHER TD. All that is wrong right now is fine tuning. We'll see if they can figure this out before January. This is really nit-picking tho. Statistically (QB Rating), this was the best game he's ever played. 6) Aldon: Holy Sh*t. Just........wow. That Bull Rush was amazing. He didn't just get the 2 sacks. He was pressuring ALL DAY. He is just getting better and better every game. How many other players have 9.5 sacks through 12 games and only play in the Nickel? 7) Gameplan: God I love Harbaugh and Roman. Its not working? Try something else. Can't move the ball up the middle? Ok, lets run End Arounds to Ginn, Walker and K. Williams (that guy needs to play more). We can't throw deep? OK, watch us. Love it. 8) Goldson: I have to admit that in the past he hasn't exactly been my favorite player. I always thought of him more as a guy who would deliver the big hit but not much else. I was wrong. He is playing his way into a pretty good contract right now....and maybe a Pro Bowl. 9) Rogers: When the Niners lost Nate Clements, I was concerned not because of his coverage ability, but because of everything else he brought to the table. Run Support. Just being an all around good football player. Lost in his 5 INTs is the fact that Rogers is one of the reasons the Niners are so good against the run. He will come up and hit...HARD. 10) NFC West Champs: I'm happy that they have it, but the NFC West has never been my goal. The 'hawks won it last year at 7-9, so how can I get too excited about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that they made the playoffs, but to me this is really just the first step. If they advance in the playoffs...well....thats a different story...... Oh...and PS: Kyle WIlliams needs to play more. Seriously. The guy just makes plays everytime he's on the field. Yes, he's small, but he is SOOOOO quick. He's got great hands and catches everything close to him. Right now, if I'm playing a playoff game and I have my choice between a healthy Edwards or WIlliams, I still take Kyle. I think he's gonna have a big role on this team in the near future.

Kyle Williams is a no-brainer, give him PT and we have our Wes Welker. The thing that stands out to me is the high quality consistent play the defense gives every game. After he was selected at #8 in the first round I watched Aldon Smith on Youtube, what impressed me was that he would line up at tackle and power through the offensive line. Aldon Smith has a skill set that cannot be taught.

His strength is out of proportion from his size! He is lanky but that bull rush was pure sumo!

Even tho he didnt play too long, I have to say at this point, while definitely still learning and learning. He still didnt look ready to me.

He didnt look comfortable in the pocket, and seemed hesitant to scramble. And some thought Alex overthrew his long balls..........Oh wow, thats all i can say.

Still early on, but since we are talkin bout re-watching the game, that was just a piece as well. Nutin to get crazy about, just tried to pay attention to his development when on the field.

Don't agree with your analysis. I thought he looked much better and threw a great pass on the money while rolling to his left. Too bad Peele dropped it. The second pass was high but the receiver I believe got a hand on it.

Agree. It was limited playing time but thought he looked good. Both throws were catchable. The Peele one 100% should have been caught.

Yes they did b.t.w. I remember thinking "leave it on?". I thought he just messed up the let it roll, but then he followed with the let it roll if I'm not mistaken. The play was succesful as well.

Didn't realize rams had their backup FS and 3rd and 4th string CBs. No wonder. We should have scored 40 on 500 yards.

Can't shoot it out with GB you gotta control the clock with a strong running attack.

Interesting note, last night i was watching the game and I noticed that the 49ers offense had only one 3 and out in the first half and two other 3 and outs that happen in the 4th quarter when CK is the quarterback. The one 3 and out with Alex is when we recovered the ball and had first and goal and ran the ball three times. If this team could just execute better in the redzone and on third downs we'd have an elite offense and super elite defense and Jamie Dukes would have to cry in his cereal.

kills me that we can't get into the endzone when we're so close. Where are all the quick slants?
