Yeah I know. Another national writer looking for a free meal,
but here’s Daniel Jeremiah with a look at our offensive weapons.

September 7, 2011 at 7:40 pm (Edit)
I see this Season starting with lots of motion and ground attack.
Our OL is going to take time to adjust to the new system, however, a WCO should help them once Alex and the WRs get into the necessary rhythm.
Game 1, lots of Gore and Hunter, 9ers win a close one. I do expect Harbaugh to take some deep shots though, VD and Braylon will be a nice duo.

Forty Niners Forever 
http://www.49ers.com/news/article-2/6-Takeaways-from-NFL-Network-Analyst-Daniel-Jeremiah/be5bc032-776a-4026-8bb4-71eb7c8723a5
Here’s the lnk. WordPress is being weird.
Bottom line Chuck, Harbaugh was a 1st time HC too.
No one had expectations for him before his stint began in SF.
With the good, comes the bad in any situation.
Changes are inevitable in the NFL.
Some suggest that waiting to see what comes is a cop out.
For me, it’s all about giving it a chance to develop.
What’s done is done.
We don’t get to choose the Owner, the Coaches or the GM.
As a fan, I’ll hope for the best.
If these new coaches call two plays in the huddle I might lose hope that we’ll ever have an offense in SF again. That strategy is nothing but a delay of game and waste of time outs game plan.
Form what I. Gathered they aren’t using that anymore.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
One thing I got from the Jeremiah piece was, the benefit of speeding up Kaep.
Something I’ve called for for a couple of seasons now.
Force a tempo, like the WCO was predicated on.
Tic-tic-tic, ball out.
Oline benefits, QB benefits, Offense benefits.
If only Harbaugh had found a better balance, things could have been much different than they are right now.
Can’t cry about it now.
What’s done. Is done.
Tomsula might be worth a laugh or two as a novice HC but, at least he’ll have a couple of assistants, Sparano and Mangini, who’ve been there and tasted it at least.
Can’t hurt I guess?
All comes down to what the players take from them collectively.
If they buy in, as they did with Harbaugh, things have a chance to succeed.
If they don’t, nothing improves.
This is the longest fucking off-season that I can remember.
And, WTF is going on with the Giants? I know road trips are tough, but are we in a July swoon or what?
The bullpen’s choking big time and this time I don’t have a suggestion. Every night it’s a different guy blowing it. I’ve seen some brilliant setup and closer combos in my life, and Romo and Casilla aren’t one of them. But they’re not alone. Strickland, Kontos, …, pick one and they’ve blown a game recently.
rt – yeah it seems we do this once or twice a year. Our pitching needs to get healthy again.
We got 3 hits, one by the pitcher. We need Pence and Aoki back.
we have to have the most streaky hitters in the league.
I think this is a quality coaching staff and I doubt they will call two plays in the huddle. I’m still skeptical.
I don’t want to make any predictions until I see some offense in the pre-season but it would not surprise me to see this team in the play-offs. My biggest fear is the leadership we lost on the field because of retirements and etc…. Having leaders on the field is important, we’ll see who, if anyone, steps up.
Berger I think there’s a good balance of Vets on this roster.
Bethea, Bowman, Dockett and the Rookie Eli Harold appear to be fine in that regard.
Can’t question Boldin or Vernon on Offense either.
My biggest concern is whether Kaep can take a leadership role with the new Offensive Group in general.
We’ll miss Gore back there, in a big way.
Hoping Staley and Reggie Bush can provide some stability on O.
For me, the biggest hurdle remains, the scheme.
I’ll be happy to see some balance.
Can’t stand the idea of running into 8-9 fronts anymore.
Whether Logan and Chryst can find it in year one is a tall order.
Just make an effort to improve it.
We’ve got weapons that need to be utilized.
Too many question marks with a Staff overhaul, to have any preconceived ideas about what we’ll be capable of doing, until we show we can do it.
We need a passing game to show up.
WRs/TEs in general should benefit from Torrey if the schemes are better.
Kaep makes this thing go, as it is with any QB in this League.
He needs to see the field better and, make good accurate passes underneath.
If he improves that aspect of his game, Torrey becomes more of a factor over the top.
Like Arians in AZ, I don’t think the stage is too big for Tomsula.
He just needs a lot of help from the rest of the Staff.
Mangini knows Defense just fine. It’s all about whether he can bring these guys together in year one under a new scheme.
Lot’s of question marks going in.
See what they look like when the pads go on.
I also won’t be surprised if Baalke makes an effort to deal Vernon or Brooks during the Camp stretch either.
He’s not the type of GM to watch a guy walk for nothing if he can help it.
Boone is the biggest question mark for me.
Did he burn his bridge last year with the hold out?
Vernon may have at least attempted to mend things following his brief hold out but, he stunk it up and disappeared last year in terms of production.
Final year of his deal now and, I don’t see an extension in the cards for him.
Be smart of Baalke to seek a destination for him before he picks his own next year.
Vernon’s money could be a leg up for Boone too, if there’s any thoughts of retaining him.
See what comes in the next couple of months..
For me, the stars align perfectly for a reunion in DC.
McCloughan Drafted Vernon and, Vernon is a DC guy.
See whether Baalke can pry a 3rd or 4th RDer from them and move on.
NJ- Our offensive scheme was so bad last year everybody was playing confused. Not one group did well. We don’t need to be dynamic on offense to be much improved, we just need to run something that makes sense. We had no rhythm last year.
On defense, we were too vanilla. The D was decent but we did not dictate our terms. Mangini is much more aggressive. We’ll give up more big plays this year but we should make more big plays too. That will be the key to this entire team, does the D make plays and will the offense make sense.
June Swoon in July! Giants suck worse than a Sir Spit posting on Skeeber’s blog.
Bingo
One big addition to the 49ers by subtraction is the loss of Crabtree. He was a cancer from the start. He was great against man coverage but always looked lost vs zone. This last year he was not accelerating out of his routes and it cost us some big completions when the ball was thrown a half step to far in front. I don’t know if it was attitude or the Achilles injury but the result was a possession WR who lost a step.
I remember when we drafted Crabtree I wanted BJ Raji but he got picked one pick ahead of us. After Raji I wanted Michael Oher, Robert Ayers or Clay Mathews. We took Crabtree. I was OK with that pick at the time but in looking back obviously I was mistaken, we would have been better with any of the other three picks. Oher was OK but Ayers and Mathews have been fantastic. The LOL moment was Spitty getting thrown off the SF Gate when we took Crabs over Oher. I’d say he didn’t like the pick! LOL!
Crabtree was always an individual more than a team player and didn’t help his image when he started out with a lengthy hold out. He usually seemed to have some kind of injury so we never really got to see a full year of what you would like to see from a #9 pick. Last year he was calling out the coaching schemes but so many players were doing that I didn’t hold that one against him like I would normally do. But last year he lost the one thing he did well and that was how well he played vs man coverage. Maybe now that e has a new team and is another year removed from his heel injury he’ll do better. I’m just glad he is gone. Addition by subtraction.
Yeah, crAbs was never a big team guy. And his wearing Dallas blue shoes in the Dallas game last year was odd at best. Vaya con diablo pal.
Yeah, the bar on offense is pretty low. Shouldn’t be too hard to improve fairly significantly.
Crabs had so much potential but in the end it seem all about himself and not so much about the team. Glad he’s gone too.
Is it TC yet.
Yeah the is the 2nd hellacious preseason in a row.
NJs, yeah I can see Brooks going, but not VD. He was no great shakes last year, but we got nothing close to replace him.
Granted someone could fall off a roster later but I see them standing pat with him and hoping for the best.
Russell Wilson says God talked to him after he threw the interception at the end of the Super Bowl.
Ya, I would imagine so.
I know a lot of Seahawks fans talked to God after that pick.
As in “God damn it!!! WTF, Russell!!!”
Let’s hope their window is closing.
BakkenTom, or Jim Crow? You make the call. NoFear is right there with him in his hood.
Yeah, the cratering economy. Where was it 7 years ago?
Memories of guys like Strom Thurmond in Government are the reason most people can’t take Politicians seriously anymore Chuck.
Gotta figure his dusty old bones rolled over in his grave last week, when his Son denounced the Confederate Flag on the Senate Floor in SC too.
There might be hope for this Country yet, that we might get over the Ruling Class and bigotry, and focus on what matters to the tax payers in this Country, instead of the Corporate handouts and manipulation that put these bozos in Office.
Strom sure hated the idea of equal rights but, had no problem Fathering a daughter with his Black servant.
The pure definition of double standards.
