We have no run game. I'm baffled at the fans calling for more run plays when it gets stuffed all the time. It something is not working you have to switch to what is working. I'm not sure why the runs not working though but I'm thinking lack of talent on the OL, lack of differently designed run plays, or lack of coaching the guys on blocking technique. and I'm thinking the it's the blocking technique. Chris Foester really didn't stand out as a top notch OL coach and the 49ers really didn't make a hard push to keep him, if I'm not mistaken I think they wanted him gone.

Perhaps I'm making too much out of coaching. perhaps there is only 2 ways to block and all the OL coaches know how to teach them so I'm probably making a bad point of view but the team does not look like it's blocking like the Denver Bronco's back when MS was in Denver. Atleast not to me.
