49ers Pregame Thread

A good chance to watch our future coach in action.

Vernon Davis?

San Francisco 49ers News — Niner Insider Blog » Advantage, 49ers: Aldon Smith vs. Morgan Moses (http://blog.sfgate.com/49ers/2014/11/20/adavantage-49ers-aldon-smith-vs-morgan-moses/)

If our Tackles don't protect, RGIII is in for long day of playing human pinata. You got Aldon Smith on one side, rookie 5th round pick Aaron Lynch (having a tremendous year) on the other side, Chris Borland playing like Patrick Willis. Kaepernick will run like Russell Wilson, let's see what Haslett does/doesn't do. Redskins need to play like they did against Dallas to have a chance

Won't be that long of a day. A 2nd quarter injury will see to that.

RGIII turns himself into a pinata, regardless of what the tackles do.

Nonetheless, I will continue my string of overly-optimistic predictions:

Skins 20
Niners 17

True. A D2 college Defense could get 5 sacks on Griffin right now. Deer in headlights syndrome has ravaged his body.

Cowboys game part 2.

on offense

Gruden and mcvay make it basic and basic wins for us.

Heavy load of run play takes a lot of pressure off our game plan.

In the run game, we get hats on hats and Alfmo curns out the yards 3-5 at a time.

Limited passing game where we connect on play action to d jax 4-5 times, Reed and garcon on drag routes across the middle, Roberts running inside slants all day, helu on screens = all passing plays that RG3 can excel at.

defense

i dont know what to expect here. r clark is bad. amerson is subject to being beat. if the pass rush doesnt get home, we lose. Cooley sd the Bucs went max protect all game so that limited our pass rush effect.

A defensive touchdown is long overdue.

Special Teams

I thought roberts was going to break one last week. he was quick to find and hit the lanes but just seemed to get tripped up when he had open grass in front of him.

Roberts takes it home on Sunday.

D Jax on punts? yes please.


Skins 34
49ers 30

The only reason I have any optimism right now is that it would be entirely consistent with my relationship with the Redskins for them to somehow pull of an inspiring win against the 49ers on the road and allow me to think, "hey, they're actually pretty good," only to then lay a turd in the Colts game and get blown out by 40 points.

Nah, even that isn't going to cause me to think we can win the game.

49ers -- 33
Skins -- 9

I hope I am wrong.

I'd just like to see RGIII play better, whatever else occurs. Sadly, that's not likely to happen here. Niners 28-Skins 3.

I think the 'skins could win this one ('Skins: 27, 49ers: 24)

I'd like to see a little more creativity from the offensive game plan though.

Here's what I'd be putting in for this week.........
1) Roll the pocket on pass plays (it worked for Theisman)
RG seems to play better while moving, so why fight it?

2) Flood one side of the field for pass plays (at least in the early going)
will help his vision by limiting the field

3) Fake rollout & run counters (and vice-versa)
it will slow down the rush on a true pass play

4) Once the Niner's figure out the rollout & start blitzing off the edges,
I'd start burning them with quick hitter slants (in & out)

I know the Niner D is athletic, but the 'Skins have some athletes too.
We just have to get them in space & let the win a few matchups.

these are the Redskins of course they win this game.

Lol.....totally
