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.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
