They were also fooling around full time with the no huddle and running everyone out of set alignments that did not vary in the entire drive.

So it was easy to lock up WR in bump and run coverage. If you think back to when the offense finally launched itself this season, suddenly there was motion and WR stacks that made man coverage a much harder proposition. Plus in the last 2 weeks, Cobb has been in the backfield to get him single non press coverage on LBs.

It won't be the same story if they play them again, even if they avoid Sherman.

I DO hope the silent count has some different timing this time around, after Linsley has eight games of experience.
