Panthers helped 49ers beat Saints

[Mr. Scot]

Well, sort of... :sosp:

Per Michael Silver, the idea for the final play to Vernon Davis came from Niners QB coach - and former Panthers staff member - Geep Chryst.

How did Chryst come up with the idea? By thinking back to his days of facing the Saints while working for the Panthers :D

I am so proud to be a part of their devastation.

[rayzor]

whatever it took.

i'm just glad they lost.

[Woodcookedbbq]

Man I forgot we swapped TE coaches with the 49ers. I'm glad we have Pete Hoener though.

[err456]

It's a shame we didn't remember it.

It's a shame we didn't remember it.

Pertinent excerpt:

For all the credit that Harbaugh has deservedly received for the Niners’ dramatic turnaround, his assistants have also played a key role. In fact, a conversation early last week between offensive coordinator Greg Roman and quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst lay the foundation for Davis’ dramatic catch. “I’ve got to give our quarterbacks coach a lot of credit,” Roman said Sunday night while taking a break from studying film on the Giants. “He called me into his office and said he had an idea for a red-zone play against them, and he was just so emphatic about it. He previously worked for the Panthers and was very familiar with their defense, and he came up with something he thought would work. And when I saw it, I got excited, too.

And something worth remembering for the future.

The play, “Vernon Post,” is predicated on the theory that the Saints are adept at covering the whole end zone in that situation, rather than leaving the back exposed. “They do a better job than most teams of defending the entire depth,” Roman explained. “Their safeties sit right inside the goal line and are really flat-footed – and if you go vertical on [Harper], he starts to pedal softly backwards. So there’s a hole for the tight end, and it’s got to be thrown with perfect timing and rhythm.”

no no no no no! rogers is one of those evil outside free agents!

why in the world would we pay $2.13 million for a pro bowl CB when he's from a -gasp- different team

much better to reward our own guys, like giving $72 million for a DE to get 9 sacks or $43 million for a RB to get 9 carries a game

duh man, JR and hurney know what they're doing!

I see what you did there...

[RevJ]

We helped in one other way. Two weeks earlier, we tricked the Saints into gaining 617 net yards. It was obviously a factor as we could see how they were wearing down at the end of the game.

[CatMan72]

MUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

As if it wasn't satisfying enough watching the Saints lose while Roman Harper rolled around on the turf like a little b*tch, now we find out our former TE coach drew up the play to expose a specific weakness in the Saints defense that he learned while he was on our payroll.
