This. I never understood it but it sure seemed like virtually everyone thought the Niners were taking Jones. Lance or Fields just seemed like the guys in this draft that would have Shanny drooling (outside of Lawrence who everyone knew was going #1 overall).

 

Almost makes you wonder if the Niners leaked it to keep the Jets or another team trading up to 2 from looking too hard into Lance. Seemed unnecessary, but who knows….

I know there is an awful lot of misdirection surrounding the draft. But a double blind bluff? That is some 7D chess kinda thinking. lol

I don't know what it was. I think it may have just been as simple as bad info. One analyst with a good rep got a bad tip and everyone else just ran with it. I mean, if you're the Niners you're not gonna go out of your way to correct it. I just don't see how anyone with knowledge of what Shanny likes in QBs ever bought the Jones talk. Shanny loves mobile QBs.

The 9ers were playing 5D chess, and it worked. Whether by design, or by accident. It worked. Although, in hindsight, as you said, Shanny likes mobile QBs. Jones does not fit that by any measure.

It like some play action with faking faking the fake handoff.

 

I tell ya what. If the Zone Blocking scheme we are going to works? The running game should flourish. And if the running game flourishes, the Play Action should work. If the Play Action works. The whole Offense should work.

 

Works for me. lol

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
