We should be passing on 70% of our downs

[FuFuLamePoo]

It's time to adjust our offensive philosophy to the personnel that fits it.  I know we want the identity of a power running team but our offense will be better this year if it's more centered around the pass

[Thanatos]

Why, exactly? Fozzy had 71 yards on 6 carries at the half. That's averaging nearly 12 YPC.

and stewart had 5 for 9.  fozzy also fumbled once, and one of his runs that went for like 15 was because the niners were just in a prevent defense.  we're passing more this half and the niners haven't had a prayer

okay, what happens if we face a team like the broncos when our oline has trouble blocking and wrs have trouble getting open? You going to go out there with a towel yourself and mop up cam's brains up? Running keeps the defense honest, even if it isn't working you don't abandon it completely.

when did i suggest abandoning it completely?  we passed the ball well last week though

Predominately running is the basis of "OUR"  passing game.

I do agree that we should pass more this season than we did last year. I say about 54% pass instead of 49% like it was last year. Giving a defense a balanced attack, makes our offense deadly but I do get annoyed when we run Tolbert or Fozzy straight down the teeth of a defense.

There is no other team like the Broncos, nobody else has that many legit pass rushers with a completely talented secondary to match it.

Depending on Stew, we will change some, CAP will definitely most likely, maybe, could happen be active next week.

because the #1 scoring offense in the league last year that just dropped 40 today isn't good enough?

[GoobyPls]

I said this last week. Our offense is better when we use the pass to set up the run. Cam should average at least 35 passing attempts per game

 

And Fozzy fits our offense better than Stewart, he gives us a different dimension 

 

[CPF4LIFE]

Been thinking this, we have done a good job rebuilding the receiving core which is where the talent is but we want to focus on pounding the rock with a good RB who cant stay healthy consistently and a couple of utility guy RBs.

Its backwards......

Olsen, Funch, KB, Ginn, Philly

They are the better unit. Time to start using them. I didnt even know Funchess was playing midway threw the first half and he was camp MVP. If KB and Olsen dont make those plays Niners could have took the game over. The run game kinda holds the offense back for this team, to many runs for no gain and loss of yards. It just doesnt work the way it should.

Yeah Cam threw a lot today but it was more due to the circumstances of the game rather than the actually game plan coming in.

I agree maybe not on 70% of downs but maybe something like 55-60% of them. With the weapons we have, we should definitely be airing it out more.

Cam almost passed for 400 yards today you realize?
