Hah! Hey, I don’t know where this team is going, but at least it seems to be pointed in the right direction. The latest on the coalescing of the offensive line has AD, the biggest problem with the line last year when he decided to take a mental health year off after the free agency signing period, AND the draft, has seen Trent Brown dominate at RT and offered to move to the inside where a smaller quicker guy (like him now, not the overweight 380 guy on the line in 2014) can play. This pushed Eric Pears out of the starting lineup.
In addition, 1st round pick Joshua Garnett is taking reps at LG in place of Zane Beadles, the free agent signing. With THAT happening, Beadles is getting reps at center. Providing back up to Daniel Kilgore Trout. Our lynch pin on ht e line.
What does this all mean? Well, it means we actually have the makings for a very good line. One with flexibility and depth. Not the nightmare of stupidity we had last year. So, if not anything, we can run. What I really like is that we are using formations that usually put at least 3 WRs on the field. With FB Bruce Miller now a TE, i think we can finally bid adieu to the Sardine Can Offense (SCO). A tern coined by the one and only Berger. A tip o’the cap to you., good sir.
Bergs has been the biggest proponent of running out of the pistol, which CK did in Reno, and running out of spread formations. Mainly, and this has been my point as well, because by emptying the backfield and putting WRs out wide, you EMPTY the box. You don’t constantly run against 8 or 9 guys in the box. Sure, putting 3 RBs in the diamond formation gives you blockers, but it also makes the defense honor those guys and crowd their guys inside the tackle box as well.
Sure, there isn’t a ton of info to gather from preseason, but we have been opening up big holes early on. The run game has looked very nice (minus the fumbling) for these games. How this affects the passing game remains to be seen, but at least we are building the team in the right order. From the lines out. . .
Forty Niners Forever 
Denver lost Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan. They’ve lost their hunger, that’s for sure. Hey, who knows? If it comes down to Lynch, I think he’l have plenty of growing pains.
They do have the team around him to keep shit close. I just think they ar going to fall back to the pack some. For all the talk of our division, I think the AFC West is pretty tough itself.
Depending on San Diego. They are so up and down I have no clue to how they will do this year.
Love Zappa but some of the older xylophone, giant band stuff gets hard to wade through. His pared down Hot Rats stuff is killer. Of course anything with Adrian Belew is legendary.
Yeah, Zappa put out a lot of stuff most of which I really have to be in the mood to listen. And, it takes awhile to understand what he’s trying to do on most of it. At least for me it does. He was definitely one of a kind.
Of course all the Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar stuff is great.
Nice of them to show the bass player and tambourine dude while Frank is jamming
my bain gets a little tired after all that
brain. see what I mean
Help! I’ve fallen down and can’t get up! Poor Giants are laying on the floor. Does anyone care?
Here s what I’ll be watching on Friday. Do the QBs still have a clean pocket to throw out of. This is something we haven’t seen since Mooch. If we protect our QBs like we have been the first two games it won’t matter who the QB is, they’ll all do good. Again, we haven’t seen this in so long I don’t expect it to continue. So what I am saying is can our O-line keep it up? Also, can they continue to open the enormous holes in the running game. A lot of this is due to much better play calling but the line is performing great besides that little fact.
For the first time, I liked what I was seeing from Harold. Can he keep that up. I also want to see more Tank vs the ones. I’d like to see Marcus Rush get some action vs the ones and twos. I don’t need to see any more of our DBs, they are solid. We’ll be cutting a couple of good CBs.
D-line. Haven’t seen much of Buckner and none of Armstead. Want to see them in action. Is Garrison Smith the real deal that he appears to be so far?
Is Smelter going to play? Does Dres Anderson get more action? That kid gets open.
The 270lb slot receiver is looking great. When does he start dropping passes again? Probably in the regular season when it is more important. Maybe, and I hope this is it, he is just taking over with more confidence with VD gone? Maiocco mentioned that possibility.
What is up with Smelter? Has he even played yet?
IIRC, he was OK and then pulled his hammy.
New thread is up.
