This is the kind of offense we’ve built: establishing the run, forcing the defense to load the box opens up some isolated man coverage or large gaps in the deeper zone.

If you look at most of Givens’ big plays in 2012 and Austin’s last year, well, we were establishing the run. They weren’t exactly surrounded or in traffic.

You can go back to the 2012 9er game at candlestick. We came out pounding the ball down their throats and then Bam! Quick is outside the #s, one on one.

TD. The next drive started w/ a run but featured a large chunk completion to Kendricks. We ran some more (featuring a big run by DRich) and chopped them up w/ short to medium passes to get close. SJ punched it in from there.
I still think that game was the model for what this team is trying to do and how it’s built.

About middle of the pack in terms of pass attempts? Sounds about right.

That was a great game and it’s a shame they ended in a tie.

Bradford was 26 of 39 (in 5 quarters) for 275 yards (67.7%, 7.05 YPA) and 2 TDs, with passes of 14 to Jackson, 15 and 16 to Amendola, 17 and 19 to Kendricks, 14 and 24 to Gibson, and 36 to Quick (though I don’t know much of that was RAC yards). I like that kind of middle range passing attack, though, again, I don’t know without re-watching how much of that was RAC. He also had an 80 yarder to Amendola subtracted by a penalty.

The Rams also ran 37 times for 159 yards (4.3 YPC).

I don;t know how strictly indicative that game will be, but, it would be nice if things work like that.

Hence the choice of Robinson over Matthews,
i suppose.

And the RB taken despite
other needs.

I’m hoping we finally have QB this year (Bradford) who is able to take advantage of those stacked defenses. Of course much of that depends on the quality of play coming from the receivers. Most important the receives can adjust on the go and be on the same page with the QB in regards to hot reads and hot routes.

Its an interesting WR group. No big stars. Buncha young role players with different skills
and potentials.
I’d feel a lot better if Bailey was starting from game one.

Really glad we built up the line. I suspect we are going to be very balanced this year with the running game having a slight edge in number of snaps.

Guess I’ll wait until moderation occurs before posting more. Is that to keep out spammers?

Kind of what I figured. Thanks. Not sure how much I’ll post but I guess we’ll see now won’t we. ;-}
