Notes from the Game and Some Requests for the Future.
Raye sucks. Straight up. 'Nuff said. His screens fail (including bubble), his predictable FB handoffs on 3rd and inches fail, his passing plays to WRs (not TEs) fail, and his plays, in general, not run from the shotgun fail miserably. He will never be a playoff game-calling OC, so why keep him?
Alex Smith sucks. The reason I say this is because he wasn't set up (like Rodgers) to succeed and now it's too late. IT'S TOO LATE! We need Nate Davis out there for the rest of the season. He shows more pocket presence and poise.
I think the Forty Niners have found their kick returner in Josh Morgan. Possibly the punt returner too?
Patrick Willis/Justin Smith needs to be more of a vocal leader and pull the D together because they just fall apart and nobody steps up (whether vocally or by example).
Isaac Bruce needs to get out of there. Crabtree, Hill, and Morgan are the future and he has no business being in there.
Dashon Goldson sucks. He has practically no range and sucks at tackling. He tackles with his shoulder rather than his arms, which end up in misses. If you look back at Greg Jennings' long TD, it was Goldson's failed shoulder tackle that resulted in the long gain.
Mark Roman is the worst DB in the league. All he does is take up space and do nothing. 'Nuff said.
So now I ask the nation:
Which OC (unemployed or in a contract year) would best suit the Forty Niners in the 2010-2011 season and why?
I think the best bet for us at OC is Clyde Christensen of the colts. He's their WRs coach. Singletary interviewed him but probably didn't like what he saw because back then he was thinking of having a more run-oriented offense whereas now he would like a balanced attack. Right now, I bet Singletary would like to have Christensen as the OC.

When you say bring in Nate Davis because he has pocket presence, it leads me to say when did u see that?
Epic post fail

I'll say it over and over Crabtree was not the pick we NEEDED, at least until he scores with 100yds receiving.
preseason
Thomas Clayton also looked great in the preseason two straight years. I’m not anti-Nate Davis, but I’m against people over-reacting about what the 49ers have in him. More on this tomorrow morning.

I just want to see what he can do in the regular season.
I’m not saying he’ll be good. I’m just saying we need a change at QB because Shaun and Alex are both mediocre QBs.

Putting Nate Davis on the field this year would probably destroy his career much like it affected Alex Smith
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, either way, YOU'RE RIGHT !"
Actually
Thomas Clayton always sucked. He ran a 4.65 40 and was a terrible blocker with stone hands. The fans were in love with his body — he had little talent. He is nothing like Nate Davis who has obvious talent.

Borderline
Only reason it’s still in is because it’s at least attempting to generate discussion. SSC24, I think you should include comments on who YOU would want as offensive coordinator. Just asking who people want is fine, but you’ll get more responses if you actually offer your own thoughts on options. So, go ahead and edit your FanPost.
Are you freaking retarded!?
You just stated that Alex Smith was screwed in the way he was brought into the league, ie throwing him into the game before he was ready, and your saying you want them to throw Nate Davis in, who hasn’t gotten reps since training camp? Dude, get your head out of your a$$.
oh
and one good kick return does not constitute finding the 9ers future kick return. Also, I agree with you that Roman is horrible, 60 percent of big plays by the offense, Roman is in there somewhere. But Goldson hits almost as hard as Patrick Willis.
Goldson hits nowhere near as hard as P-Willie. Are you kiddin' me?
Josh Morgan actually seems to know how to return whereas no other Forty Niner returner has shown anything similar…and we’re 10 games into the season.
Jason Hill supporter 'til the end
Dude, no, Goldson sucks. Sure he can hit, but he went for the big hit on the long TD today and whiffed. He’s also worse than Roman in coverage.

Ya, it's a mess...don't know where to begin...Let me explain:
Smith has had 5 coordinators in 5 years. Nate be exposed to the NFL and fail/succeed but in the end progress. Alex Smith cannot succeed because his time of growth is over. He’s, in other words, grown and not learned anything. The fact that the team needs another OC only complicates the mess.
Jason Hill supporter 'til the end
Really doesn't make any sense
"Optimist Prime"

That's ridiculous
The brain doesn’t magically stop learning football after 5 years in the NFL. Come one, relative statistics, meaning relative to the way most quarterbacks are brought along in the NFL. Both Nate Davis and Alex Smith need continuity in an offensive system, but Smith is much more likely to succeed right now than Davis. You also didn’t address the fact that Nate Davis hasn’t seen any real reps since training camp. All these people calling for Nate Davis to step in infuriate me to no end. How is a man supposed to play in the NFL when he has seen a minute section of the playbook, and actually practiced said plays even less?

Good options:
Norv Turner (San Diego)
Cam Cameron (Baltimore)
Clyde Christensen (Indy)
But I AM NOT AT ALL for firing Raye. Consistency is important at OC and it is part of the reason the 49ers have failed thus far (past 6/7 years)
Bringing Turner back in would be acceptable
Gore, VD, some of the line and most importantly Smith already know his system

Is it just me?
Or do you hate it when people just throw names out there. Cam Cameron? Are you serious? He has only been with the Ravens for two years (2nd yr now), and has known the HC for 28 years. Do you think he is going to get fired or something? Is he going to leave and come to 49ers? Cmon. Let’s take a little more time and think about who you are bringing to the table.
I hate it
It’s the same affliction that prompts fans to put in Nate Davis. None of the guys in that list will be any better than what we have right now.
yup.
Barrows had a great line the other day on Davis and said, the backup QB is ALWAYS the fan favorite when the starter is struggling whether or not its warranted.
The fact is, we have questions with QB, so logically we assume the back up guy would do better. The fact is, that he isn’t getting any reps. He is NOT ready people. Get over it. COULD he be, yes, is he, NO! Smith gives us the best chance to win, he shows he can get it done when we get more aggressive and open it up. I feel like it’s the coaches NOT the QB so much.
Yes, consistency is the common counter-argument I receive when speaking of firing Raye.
But think about it:
Would you rather have idiocy for continuity or take a chance on what may possibly be a great OC?
We knew entering the season that Raye was nothing special. But Clyde Christensen has potential to be a great OC. Remember that we almost made the playoffs in Martz’s first year as OC, and he was not very good (did not use VD at all pretty much, and barely ran with Gore).
Jason Hill supporter 'til the end
Christensen
Don’t forget that the 49ers already interviewed Christensen last year. He was the Colts wide receiver coach last season. This year he’s still WR coach, but he was also made assistant head coach. I wonder if he’s been promised the future OC position when Tom Moore retires.

If we had a o line who could block for more than 1s it would probably help who ever is calling plays and the qb

No use of Gore and no use of VD 21 td’s and 19 int’s and this is what makes you want a guy that has never been an OC, and has been with Manning for years. He may have a heart attack since he would actually have to do his job.

A few things the 49ers need
1. Better Defensive Back Play, stop allowing such a soft zone.
2. A pass Rush
3. An Offensive Line
4. Consistent playcalling
COACHING
we need to call shanahan and fire singletary!!!!
Shanahan
He had two good years when he inherited a Hall of Fame QB. After that he didn’t do much. He had 4 games left last season and needed 1 win and couldn’t get his players to play to win. On top of that it was the team he put together (players HE drafted) and he stunk it up in Denver. he is an offensive coordinator at best unless he ahs a great DC with him. He’s so arrogant he will cause issues with his assistants. Site Decorum firing Sing.
"Optimist Prime"
I'll say it over and over Crabtree was not the pick we NEEDED, at least until he scores with 100yds receiving.
Imagine if Shanahan came back as OC
What does he have left to prove? He is already a multi millionaire. Wouldn’t it be nice if he just wanted to be involved in football for a team he has roots with, and came back as OC. I’d love it.
I'd love Shanahan back as OC
He did a great job for us when he was here. I think he wants to be the guy in charge though.
That would be awesome but if he comes back, I have a feeling you’re right. I think he will want to be the HC somewhere. We need a Bill Parcels type of guy for our GM. Maybe he would want to get more involved in a FO type of position?
Could he be a good GM/FO guy though?
I don’t know if he has those credentials.
Heck, I don’t know what credentials you need to be a FO kind of guy.
Yeah I keep having daydreams like that :-)
Having Holmgren or Shanny come back in a position like Parcells or even as the GM.

Charlie Weis
might be available depending on what happens with him at Notre Dame. He was the assistant under Bill Parcells when with the Giants and the Patriots OC when they were great all those years
I think he DOES want to be HC
but like I said, he has money, he is getting older, has nothing to prove, and MAY want to come back and rekindle some nostalgia. Just think it would be AWESOME if he just wanted to get back to calling plays instead of having to work 20 hours a day, sleeping in the office. Spend time with the grandkids and let’s get this offense fixed.
Weis
I don’t think he get’s fired. MAYBE, but just don’t see it. Too much money. And if that college has that kind of money, just to fire a Football Coach, WOW.
Notre Dame has that kind of money
They started a fundraising campaign in 2007 that’s raised 1.54 billion so far. I don’t think they’d have any problem with funds if they were to fire Weiss.
Why wouldn't you?
If you’re a top 10 prospect you’d be stupid not to declare. Especially if there’s an uncapped year ahead.
challenge
what was sing trying to challenge earlier?? we could’ve used that time out
Are you slow? Ride on the small bus?
That’s was years ago and it should have been upheld.

Anyways bong, we were gonna have to use that time out there anyways, so there’s nothing to lose from challenging.

GOD
Enough with this Nate Davis talk. Listen i think he does have great upside and with some more seasoning he could be our QB of the future. But put Manning behind that line and with the play calling in the 1st half and i doubt he does much better. Smith had absolutely no chance to do anything in the 1st half and it cannot be placed on him. Regarding the INT, this was the only time Smith lined up behind center in the 2nd half and look what happened. We need to run an offense the favors the strengths of the team and that is a spread formation. This is pretty obvious, i will be calling for blood if the 49ers don’t start the Jaguars game out of that formation.
Singletary obviously saw that Jackson was down before where the spotted it, the refs just blew the call, Jackson was down 1 yard before the 1st down marker.
Anyone who thinks we should fire Singletary has completely lost it, in other years this team would have given up down 20-3 at the half, not in 2009. Now the play calling or play caller needs to change, in that i agree.
Regarding OC, i saw someone mention Charlie Weiss on another post and that makes so much sense. He likes to work out of a spread offense and that fits to the abilities of our offensive playmakers, plus he is sure to be fired following the season. That would be a great hire

I agree with some of what you said but
you picked the wrong guy when you used Peyton Manning as an example. He would have simply audibled out of those calls and moved up and down the field. The guy is a playing OC.

Don't know defenses will play ou different because of Manning
Furthermore this Packer defense minus this years additions took it to Manning in his own offense and beat the snot out of them.
"Optimist Prime"

Alex Smith played fine.
Isaac Bruce doesn’t play too much.
I doubt you know a damn thing about who is being vocal on the defense.
Jimmy Raye is fine. He just needs to make some adjustments, and Singletary needs to allow it.
by AmorVincitOmnia on Nov 23, 2009 9:26 AM PST reply actions
Alex Smith has thrown 6 TD’s when he has the opportunity to play out of a formation that depends less on the line holding blocks for him, I think that if the play calling consistantly used Alex Smith’s strengths were used this team could possibly score on a more consistant basis. I am no football guru, this just my observation from watching the games.
My Will Clark will kick your honor student's ass!
BEST POSITION
WHAT WAS THAT THAT SING SAID IN TRAINING CAMP. WE NEED TO PUT THE PLAYERS IN THE RIGHT POSITION TO SUCEED, WELL THE BEST POSITION FOR SMITH TO SUCEED IS SPREAD FORMATION SO KEEP HIM THERE UNTIL YOU CAN GET AN OFFENSIVE LINE BUILD TO PROTECT LIKE THEY SHOULD AND THEN PUT DAVIS IN THE REST OF THE SEASON TO SEE WHERE HE STANDS SO WE KNOW WHAT POSITION TO GET IN THE UPCOMING DRAFT.
Caps are bad.

Just making sure I understand
So the concept is to fire the current OC of the 49ers and put in WR Coach for the Colts as the OC. This is the same Colts that have Peyton Manning as (as has been noted) an on the field OC and the old OC that is now a consultant and the current OC? Is that the plan proposed there?
And with a circumspect at best offensive line we are planning on putting in Nate Davis and letting him guide the team as Quarterback? Is that the proposed plan there?
Pardon my skepticism but I just don’t see it. I must be blind or myopic in some respect but the plan seems a bit ..well don’t know words to put it. Let’s just say that a certain rapper from Atlanta comes to mind and I don’t mean MC Hammer.
