here are my ideas on how to beat the cardinals in our season opener:
when the Niners are on defense, the key is to disrupt Warner’s rythem and chase him out of the pocket.
Warner is a pure pocket passer with a quick and accurate release. he also has playmaking targets at WR so he just need to throw the ball at the vecinity of Fitz or Boldin and they will make the catch.
let’s face it, our corners, though good tacklers, tend to give up the long pass and are not that good at covering quick , agile recievers.
thats why the key is to pressure Warner. but, alas, our pass rush, as someone greater then me said, is non existent.
so we got to use some blitz packages that will colapse the pocket around the Card’s QB. i.e. blitzing through the A gaps (Reggie Smith proven he is quite capable of disrupting the QB with his play against Dallas) , prsssuring the center and 2 guards and chasing Warner out of the pocket where Lawson and Harelson can finish him off.

On offense we just have to stick to the plan. run the ball over 50% of the times and avoid turnovers at all cost. that way we control the clock and win the possession time battle, and keep the ball away from the cards high octane offense.
can’t wait for the niners season to start with a positive note.

On one hand it is the most illogical behavior I can imagine, turning down 16 million guaranteed.

On the other hand the holdout is logical if someone else were tampering.

On the other hand tampering makes no sense.

On the other hand Deion Sanders is a d-bag.

On the other hand Eugene Parker is a doubt d-bag.

On the other hand…

“Once I accidentally hit an opponent the wrong way and hurt him, but the referee didn’t make the call. I knew I had broken a rule, so I told the ref, ‘I did it. I didn’t do it on purpose but I did it. It was my fault. You should penalize me.’ I wanted both the referee and the other player to know that I was honest and I would take responsibility for my mistakes. The ref thought I was nuts.”

This a great testament of his character and his coaching abilities. Unfortunately he needs some more talent in his core group. I’m as optimistic as anyone else about the 9ers this year, but we’re still hovering around mediocrity.

Prove me wrong Shaun, prove me wrong.

I’ve received one piece of hate mail so far for my other article, and I’ve yet to receive any from the Nuggets. I suppose I’m doing a good job or do you good folks just not have my email?
