The Logan Zone - New San Francisco 49ers QB Coach

Yes, I saw a number of designed throws (AR plays) from NE. The WR/RB caught the ball and there were already blockers engaged with blocks in front of him. Easy 5-7 yards. The biggest thing is the protection that Brady got though. That allowed the outisde WRs to run off the deep coverage defenders, then got isolation with their shifty WRs 1v1 across the middle underneath defenders.

The 49ers still need WR speed and pass protection to do what NE did. A HoF QB helps too.

For those of you on the west coast who may not know this guy. I listen to this radio station just about every day. I love his segment. He's new school coach with old school philosophy. He had a strong ethical approach thst I think will be a good example to this team. He cares a lot about not just developing the player but the person. Logan is definately a teacher and will be great for Kap of nothing else but for him installing confidence and freedom to be himself.

I really like this hire. I know it seems like we are just bringing in random people, but this whether it be chance or accident will most undoubtably work in our favor. Another thing, he is very very respected on the radio all over the east coast, especially in the south. He's built a good resume, and done well just about everywhere he has been.

This will be interesting to watch.

I've watch the game three times now and I can say with confidence that we have the 90% of the roster to do exactly what the patriots did (we still need a combo RB/WR like Vereen, Woodhead, Duke Johnson, Harvin). And if you go to a Seahawk forum (like Seahawks.net) they will gladly tell you that QB's that make a lot of short passes and take what the defense gives them are what gives the Seattle D fits. In fact, a lot of people there predicted Alex Smith would pick them apart.

Brady did the same thing... Vereen had 11 catches. They used alignment and pre-snap motion to make Seattle declare the coverage then they went to the guy with the mismatch literally EVERYTIME. There were no complicated post-snap reads. Short Anointed Receiver throws all day.

The only guy they went deep to was Gronk when he was matched up against a LB or Safety.

As I've been saying, the idea of trying to beat Seattle by exploiting Richard Sherman deep is stupid. Hell, Lane or Maxwell don't even get beat that way.

This is an excellent, excellent post. This is exactly what I saw watching the game, but you've articulated it perfectly.

Yeah. Although most coaches know this, but it takes a Brady throwing to receivers like Edelman and Amendola with precision and few mistakes. The way Brady beat the zone tonight was how Montana beat those Fangio's Saints back in the 80's - with many short underneath passes in the seams of zone.

• I don't want to be the smartest person in the room
• If a coach just shuts up sometimes, the player will give you all the answers. I stopped talking and let Matt Ryan talk and I pulled all the answers from his words.

Breaking down SEA vs Pats (pre superbowl): DEN runs a layered passing game that allowed SEA to pass of the routes very easily. Said the Pats have the perfect offense for that defense which are option routes. He was stunned DEN didn't run option routes. Said Pats offense will be fine vs the SEA defense. Dude predicted it.

Yes, one of many shows I listened to while falling in love with this hire! I haven't heard him say one thing that is a WTF comment.

Apparently most coaches don't know this. See: the 49ers vs. the Seahawks going back the last two years. The best two games I've seen against the Hawks in recent memory was the Pats Sunday and the Chargers earlier in the season.

That was Harbaugh's fatal flaw: stubborn refusal to change anything about his offense whether or not it worked.

Alex Smith did. The entire time Alex Smith was under Harbaugh we did not lose to the Seahawks.
