all the fans say they should have ran up the middle and the OC is an idiot.
The 49ers in their glory days under Walsh used to frequently burn defenses by doing the unexpected.

Same thing with the Superbowl last year. Everyone on earth was prepared for Lynch to run it in. That's exactly why Carroll called a quick slant. It had just as good a chance at scoring, if not better. All year we have to hear everyone complain that he should've run it in. If he tried and Lynch doesn't score we'd have been hearing that everyone knew he'd run it and he shouldn't be so predictable..
