What about the LP nightmare? Charlie Garner really came through for us that year.

Actually Harry Sydney and Dexter Carter made some great plays for the Niners.

I so wanted Marc Edwards to be a success. But Dexter Carter? 1st round pick wasted.

I'd have to go with Loville. Talk about a drop-off...
Your right I dropped the quotation marks.

If I remember right Phillips was signed to replace Hearst when he went down. But garner took over. I just remember the Monday night game with Phillips but I don't recall him starting any games. Or does my memory fail me. Garner had that sweet spin move.

Fully agee. I remember I was sick to my stomach when he left. Bar none & Watters had the makings to be one hell of a tandem.

That shows you how dumb our front office was in those days. They let Watters go so they would have the money to resign Deion Sanders and then lost him to the Cowboys and ended up with neither. Then they didn't even try to replace either in free agency or the draft. That cost us a couple of superbowls.

I had to look it up, Loville goes for 1,300 all purpose with 13TDs. A paltry 3.3 ypc. It shows how much the game has changed away from the feature back. No way would someone so inept get 219 carries in today's game. OC - Marc Trestman. DC - Pete Carroll.
Have to say Loville.

I agree about Sydney. He wasn't a flash in the pan or joe schmo. He was good for us for a while. Good special teamer. mini-Tukuafu.

He then followed Holmgren to GB in 1992.

coming out flat at home in the divisional round as heavy favorites to the Packers in 95 cost us our last chance at a SB. By 96 Green Bay had already taken over as the best team in the NFC
Right, but a big part of the reason the Niners had trouble with the Packers in those days is that the Packers had no respect for the Niner running game. If I remember correctly, they played almost exclusively in nickle formations against the Niners and the Niners couldn't run on them. In that '95 divisional playoff, the Niners ran 18 times and threw over 60 times.
Reggie White said their job was to go after Young. That GB line of Dotson, Brown, Jones and White was ridiculously talented. If we could have landed White, my goodness!!!!!
