Good one... His playcalling handicapped this offense once again and shows no signs of changing going forward
good god this is, sad to say, the truth here lets call for a pass play that gets us three yards when we need 9, here lets call a nice pass to our rookie tight end in the playoffs and then never go back to that again, here lets keep running gore against 9 men, and for gods sake why the f**k would we ever fake the run to set up the pass
Well cciowa ....
I think this is Harb's fault. The offense won't get better until the 49ers change the way plays are called. I think NCommand posted it some posts back. I goes a little something like this:
1) Play is thought of ...
2) Roman picks and then polls all the coaches to see what they think
3) Play gets called into Harbs who decides if the polled play is good or not
4) Harbs calls that into Kap
I used to wonder why it took so long to call plays at times. I'm will to bet the farm the times that is takes much too long to call a play, we're following this stupid structure.
One of the Matts wrote about this, and yes it is essentially what you posted. There is actually 2 plays called, a run play by Roman, a pass play by Morton. Roman polls the coaches as to which is better suited for the situation and then both are called down to Harbs with the polled play emphasized, Harbs then either vetos or sends them in and then the QB has about 13-15 seconds to get all the required and designed shifts to make the presnap read to determine which play to stick with. If the read results in changing the play the ball is being hiked at 1 second or less, if Harbaugh hasn't called a timeout already.
It is a ridiculous system and is why we have been the #1 worst team in the NFL in pre-snap penalties and timeouts to avoid those penalties every year under Harbaugh/Roman. This system is my number one reason for wanting a new OC brought in. This system is also the root for the developing rift between Harbaugh and leadership. It lends to a slow plodding offense. It does not allow for a face paced up tempo style of offense. It does not allow for any flow or feel for the game to develop. It is an awful awful system from which to develop a young QB because of the lack of rythem and flow.
I think ownership/management want that system to change and Harbaugh refuses and that's where the problems lie with managment. On one hand I love Harbaugh as our HC, on the other I think he is partly at fault for our inability to be a potent scoring offense.
