How Big Of A Disadvantage Is It To Play A 'New' Head Coach In The Season Opener?

Rivera has already made the statement we needed to make a point in this game so I totally expect us to come out and not let up till the 4th Qt. Thats bad news for any Run first team.

You are taking it out of context.

Going into last season Smith was a bust. Its why SF drafted a quarterback. Freeman on the other hand is a player on the rise. San frans offense consisted of Gore/Davis. Greg Schiano has much better talent on offense in his 1st season then Harbaugh did in his. Lol why do you think the 9ners went out and signed/up-graded their offense this season?

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I think it is pretty simple. game comes down to turnovers. Cam just needs to remember he has TONS of weapons. Not the best matchup to ask Smitty to make a play that isn't there. Do that....and we win.

Yeah i'm not a big fan but i think he's better than Smith when when Harbaugh took over.

Talk about comparing apples to oranges. Harbaugh had a FAR better resume not only as a coach in college, but as a QB guy.

Schiano had one good season as a college HC and is a defense guy. Tell me how comparing those two situation lends any merit to your arguement.

E-z, all i said was Tampa has better offensive weapons in Schiano's 1st season than Harbaugh did in his.

I believe Schiano walked into a batter situation with Freeman than Harbaugh did with Smith. Its why Harbaugh drafted Kaepernick.

Schiano may have better weapons on offense, but I don't know how big of a gap is between Freeman and Smith given what Smith had to endure.

Also, Harbaugh coaches in a weak division, he can get by with less on offense, especially with that defense.

Oh i agree with that.

Nothing really surprising but his team was very prepared and ready to play. In other words he did his job.
