Mike Singletary Approval Rating, Week 12

I give Singletary a vote of approval.

one no vote. the voter….Jack Del Rio

…so you may be taunted and booed ’til my throat is sore!

While I think they decided to open it up a little more, I don’t think this was the beginning of a full-on spread attack every game. I think that for once they decided to aggressively go after the opponent’s weakness rather than cautiously play to not lose.

That was the change. Not passing, running, but being aggressive and not playing scared.

i just ordered a crabtree jersey but then my friend told me he doesn’t think crabtree will be a niner next season. Is that possible? I thought he signed a 6 year deal?

If it is not created I just want to say that I now approve of Air Raye.

Is NN going to start going into contracts and stuff for our playmakers? Only been on the site for a few months so am not sure when you start talking about it. Or if you have and i just missed it. I would like an in depth list of who we could possibly loose this year if we dont pay them enough. Oh by the way I have and and still support Mike.

Singletary essentially admitted that three young guys on the team understood what type of offense the 49ers would succeed with better than he did, and he was still hesitant towards trying it. How did this cause such a big jump in his approval rating?

Maybe I am doing this wrong. Are we supposed to vote only by what we saw in the last game? Because in these votes I’ve been factoring in all the games I think we could have won if Singletary didn’t have a misguided philosophy on offense at the time. I’m just a casual fan and I’ve read much of the research proving that good passing and pass defense correlates more closely to winning in the NFL than good running and run defense does. Is too much to expect a head coach to have a fact-based understanding of what works in the NFL?

I am hoping we can keep the consistancy thru these learning weeks. As the coaches are learning the talents they have, they will come out on top if they and the team on the field don’t make too many mistakes. 2-3 weeks ago several comments were made as Singletary is a coach that will be out soon. Seriously? amazing what a win will do to the amnesia factor.

In essence he says the 49ers have been going this direction on offense for awhile:

Separating fact from fiction on 49ers

I said it first… spread the D wide and sacks will me minimal… the whole off season we talked about how deep we were at the reciever position yet, we wanted to pound the ball… i said it first! thank you thank you you can send donations to my address at 4949 I Bleed 49ersRed&Gold, Long Beach CA

And it’s not just the win—it’s the convincing win.

As long as he manages the other coaches, his biggest job is to get the players in the best position he can for them to play their game. If he’s doing that, how can you fault him? He can’t be on the field (aside from that one play). They have to perform. It’s his job to make the tough decisions and be accountable. That was a great play on 4th down, and I appreciate the testicular fortitude required to execute it. I assume we’d all still be standing by his side had VD displayed his usual Game Time hands… I know I would because bottom line is: I’m buying what he’s selling.

I can understand his process of change. It’s not a panic it has to be a collective decision going forward. The coaches and players on the same page, going forward.

Sing has had approval every week from me.

Since our HC gets blamed for most all that goes wrong, I say vote “yes” for all that went well on Sunday. We scored on our first possession. Never trailed. Allowed no TDs. Again did not allow any points on an opponents opening drive. Allowed zero sacks for the first time all season (who saw that happening this year?). Zero turnovers committed. One penalty. The latter three were very welcome and if continued, this team certainly finishes with a playoff spot.

That all sounds like good coaching to me. His also got his team to respond after a disappointing loss while playing a team looking to make the playoffs. Good for Sing and the entire staff.

On Monday, Davis and Morgan ran and worked out together on the field. The day after a game is typically a light day made up of meetings and film sessions. Davis is often the last one off the field, something that’s rubbing off on others. Singletary loves it and hopes Crabtree will join in the extra work.

With all the moveable parts this season on offense—a changing offensive line, Crabtree’s late arrival, a quarterback switch, a revolving receiving corps — Singletary credits Raye for handling everything so well from week to week.

"I tell Jimmy, ‘I’m proud you haven’t run over me in the parking lot,"’ Singletary said.

I’m glad Coach Sing has a sense of humor, lol. Me thinks our offense is finally coming together.
