Running game 2009: who and how?

by kinglouie33 on Mar 13, 2009 12:19 PM PDT

So we talked about Moran Norris, and people seem to agree that he will be a solid starting FB for the Niners. Who else might we try to acquire to spell Frank Gore, and to keep him from getting injured, hopefully? Draft? FA? Also, what do you think our running game should look like? How will it fit in with the passing game? Any news on already-known plans from the organization? I hear that we'll be using some elements of the West Coast offense.

almost every team in the nfl uses at lease some form of the west coast offense or at least ideas from it.

Draft a RB anywhere from 2nd to 5th

By making the run game a priority, we need another explosive back that can carry the load if something happens to Gore. I think this is a higher priority than most people think.

Even though Gore is only 25, his body has taken a lot of wear and tear. An eventual replacement needs to be found this year or next. He may see a decline before the 30 yr old mark, as much as I’m a fan.

Niners seem to like bigger backs. Would think that they’d draft a RB on the first day if they don’t think Clayton has much potential.
