So do we come out running or throwing on Sunday

With Moore in there, Smitty back, and some new receivers to throw to, does Davidson open up the playbook again and throw more this week??

San Francisco is ranked 10th overall, 11th against the pass and 19th against the run. So you would think logically we would run. But with the difficulties we have running the ball especially early, do we come out throwing to set up the run?

We had 2 weeks to install something that works.

Lets talk about Sunday instead of rehashing old topics.

I think he comes out throwing....throwing to set up the run. We are gonna be forced to do that until we start to hurt some teams.

I think that old play Davidson liked to run w/ Moose that went nowhere will be there......a streaking Gettis imo is gonna beat that corner w/ no S help. Moore missed it once.....I bet he hits it the next time.

That implies there's a playbook to be opened up.

In all seriousness, i say we go with short, high percentage throws to increase Moore's confidence. Work on establishing the run, then take some shots downfield. In all likelihood, this won't happen.

still don't see it working....everything is clogged up. The run game and short pass game b/c of what defenses are doing. Gotta go downfield...until we do we will suck. John Fox's playbook is about running and going downfield. He isn't changing his playbook.

It's funny how I posted thread after thread about throwing early and often to set up the run like the Rams have done with Bradford. With Moore back and experienced receivers it might finally happen.

You're not allowed to take credit for calling for something, and then it having it happen. That's TheRealDeals line of work.

I'm pretty sure that this going back to Moore thing only means one thing: back to Fox football.

But now we have a guy that actually knows how to execute and manage that so it should work better than it has the past couple of weeks.

And like I was saying yesterday, if we are up by some miracle in the 4th quarter then I actually support the Fox football mentality. Alex Smith scored in 53 seconds against the Saints then converted a 2 pointer to tie the game, so we need the run to be in full gear by the end of the game to run out the clock.

We need to run it down their throats and let Matt go for Smith for the big play. Other than that only use the rook receivers to spread the field a bit in non-dagerous situation(2nd and short) and keep their defense honest, but nothing stupid, unless he wants to end up with more pics than touchdowns again. No more hail mary passes to guys who can't catch. That's what Steve is for. And if our running game does prove to work, we NEED to pass some on 1st down.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
