Beemnseven 10-01-2006, 10:47 PM I agree that Saunders called a great game. All I'm saying is that Jacksonville was not fooled at all. I think the 3rd quarter is the best time to call a trick play because the opposing coaches are completely wrapped up in the flow of the game by then. Surprise onside kicks work well then too. But these are only my crackpot theories. I'm sure the coaches had reasons to believe the play would work an that way at that time. They analyze those things in every conceivable way.
Yeah, Jacksonville seemed like they were ready for the trick plays tonight -- the option pass by Randle was another example. But that's one of the advantages to this offense: Key in on Randle El, and we'll hit you with Moss and Portis! Lots of weapons to deal with here.
Soon, once Cooley and Lloyd become fully in sync, they will be another dimension defenses will have to contend with as all of the facets of this offense start firing on all cylinders.
When that happens, watch the fuck out.
ArtMonkDrillz 10-01-2006, 11:00 PM I just got home from the game. I don't really have much to say except that the game was one of the most fun ones I've been to in a long time. We were out of our minds crazy the entire game and I really loved every minute of it; even when it seemed like we could blow it. Basically, that was awesome and I hope the good times keep rolling.
Oh, and pennies in empty beer bottles make great noise makers while in the stands.
RobH4413 10-01-2006, 11:00 PM Besides that one catch Brandon Lloyd had a terrible game. I can really see what the 49er fans were talking about when they said he is afraid of contact, and good for only a highlight reel or two. He had two costly plays (penalty and fumble) that could have very well ended the game for us (if we lost, everyone would want his head). He needs to step it up big time.

Hell yeah!!!

He made 2 nice catches in the game, and he broke away from his defender only to have the ball overthrown on what would've been a TD. I wouldn't go ahead and throw in the towel on him yet...

"Besides that one catch"... Do you mean the huge one that helped them win the game?
"Step it up". Like make a huge 3rd down catch on a critical drive?
Unf-ingbelievable. I wish people would read their posts before hitting the button.
itvnetop 10-02-2006, 12:50 AM I was actually pretty impressed with the special teams lately as well. Rock on KO's and Randle-El on punts have been outstanding- there's been some superior blocking up field for these guys during runbacks and it's led to superb field position for the offense. Return coverage has been nothing short of solid, as well.
I'm also extremely interested in seeing the progress of our rookie DTs from here on out. Golston and Montgomery are quietly stepping up while Big Joe is out with injuries. They may have been some of the best mid round grabs of the entire draft.

Mid round? Try 6th and 7th. Great picks.
EternalEnigma21 10-02-2006, 12:56 AM Other observations are:
Our O-line looks like a stable of Measts! (I like that name better than dirtbags..)
Portis is a badass!
Moss is a badass!
I really like the fact that we are starting to become an exciting possesion team. Not only trick offensive plays, but who else got a little tingle when ARE flipped the ball over to ST on that punt return? I know nothing happened, but still, teams aren't going to know what the hell we're capable of all year, and thats exciting!
Our D-line looks better, and if we can secure a couple of guys in coverage, I think the D will be back on track.
We could take the Division next week if the Eagles lose tomorrow, and the Eagle's secondary is looking suspect, and Favre has a new rookie reciever that they don't have much film on... (keeping fingers crossed)
FRPLG 10-02-2006, 01:02 AM 11. Opposing Defensive Coordinators are going to have a lot to chew on with this tape. Who can they concentrate on? The snowball grows....
This is perhaps the most important thing you mentioned. It is great that we have now shown people we can small ball and medium ball it. We need to find someone who will let us throw bombs all day and someone to let us rack up 300 yards rushing. Then no one will know what the hell to stop.
