2012 NFL Playoffs: Happy Hour With Harbaugh

by David Fucillo on Jan 9, 2012 10:45 AM PST in 49ers Press Conferences & Conference Calls

The 49ers coaching staff has spent the weekend preparing their game plan for the New Orleans Saints while the players have had some time off to rest and get ready to get back to the grind. The team gets back at it on Monday as they prepare for their toughest challenge of the season.

Coach Harbaugh will be chatting with the media today, although it will be at 11:00am, an hour earlier than normal. I believe it will be viewable as normal via CSNBayArea.com's Live stream I've posted after the jump. If not, 49ers.com will likely be airing it.

Coach Harbaugh will get plenty of questions about the Saints and injuries as the team gets geared up for the coming week. Coach Fangio and Coach Roman have both had plenty of time to tweak their game plans for this weekend. It does not guarantee success of the game plan, but giving these guys a few extra days can't hurt. I suppose there is some thought to over-thinking it, but given what the Saints bring to the table, any extra prep time is good prep time in my opinion.

One thing I am curious to hear is if someone will ask Coach Harbaugh about the whole issue of the Saints blitzing. He addressed it back at the beginning of the season simply stating it was within the rules. There were some question marks about Sean Payton expecting a call from Harbaugh and not getting it, but who really knows what is going on with that. I don't expect Coach Harbaugh to say much of anything about it, but it is still something that will likely be raised.

You can view the press conference starting at 11:00am pacific via live stream after the jump, at 49ers.com or CSNBayArea.com.

Tht the blitzing was over the top

When you hammer the opposing QB’s in the first preseason affair, w/o a decent time for practices, you are a jerk.
The Detroit game revealed a well-oiled swinging gate that went by #27. Hopefully the Niners won’t have their own version w Goldson. I just re-watched the MNF Pitt game and he must have whiffed 4 times in the first half alone. He was little more than a cooling breeze to their ball carriers. Hope the 2 weeks w him were spent in wrapping up, but it seems to be his MO.
Tevo proved that you could complete 10 passes & rack up @ 300 yards & beat a beat-up team. Unfortunately NO is not a beat-up team & the Niners will have to have their best game passing as well as a maniacal Gore who doesn’t go down to protect himself but tries to break for big ones.

Anytime Harbaugh gives away scheme....

I feel like he is blatantly lying.

Matt Cain is better than you, but apparently not cool enough for Showtime.

something more for the Saints to think about heading into the game

Its Harbaugh playing mind games again

I like that they are keeping a spot open for him

So when we advance he has a chance to contribute.

by Critical Roach on Jan 9, 2012 1:04 PM PST up reply actions

I missed the response to the "what do you think watching the Saints put up 600 yards"

Jim said something about crying and sleeping at night, which everyone laughed at.

by brundylop on Jan 9, 2012 11:23 AM PST reply actions

He said something like:

" Make me sleep like a baby. I wake up every hour crying"

he used that line...

I think after the preseason loss to the Saints.

I think he used that line in a press conference on the first game of the season, against the Seahawks. He talked about how he was worried the night before, worried that he hadn’t prepared enough for the game.

Win or lose, at the end of the day I'm just happy to see the Niners play well... Okay, winning is good. I prefer winning.

A lot of ?s about brees.....

I hope someone has the balls to ask about something that’s NOT already being talked about.

“Coach, when you were watching the game vs Detroit, did you see any holding calls that were missed by the officials? Will you expect the Saints OL to do the same against the Niner DL?”

by t p on Jan 9, 2012 12:05 PM PST reply actions

Good call

I did not understand how those holds were not getting flagged. It was blatant.

Ultra-projectable
I feel like I want to rage. Right now.
