the Pack has no chance to win, and Rodgers may not even survive the 1st half. Just ask any Niner fan in the Bay Area. Seriously, there is a KoolAid party in these parts and all these fans are drinking up like the lights just turned on. That being said, the Smiths on defense ARE scary good and must be accounted for. As temporary OC I would do quick slant, quick slant, quick slant, then send Finley down the middle of the field once SF's safeties and LBs start inching up to LOS. Hopefully Willis doesn't decapitate anybody in the process. Also mix in a lot of planned rollouts to the right to tire-out the Smiths (if that is even possible), throw in some screens and draws to keep SF off balance. Maybe even a 1st quarter reverse to get in their heads a bit. I look for a surprisingly meaningful contribution from Randall Cobb ( AKA: Mr. Week1). GB prevails 27-20 and Coach McCarthy gives Harbough a wedgie at midfield instead of the requisite handshake.Originally posted by BobDobbs View PostComment

Justin Smith is a beast. Its interesting Lang thinks JS lines up more on him instead of Newhouse.
Should JS line-up over Newhouse, a back or te shall be required for a double team.Comment

I wonder if we'll see Dez Moses a little in passing situations. If we go nickle, it would be nice to have an inside backer who could beat a block.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Another thing, with Matthews on the left side, I have a feeling Lang and Newhouse have seen a couple lighting quick stunts. The problem is going to be Newhouse, who's going to be charged with the task of holding Justin Smith off. Lang might be able to get one arm out there before breaking off and blocking Aldon Smith, but mostly, Newhouse is going to be taking a hard rush from Justin Smith.
If that's the case, whoever the running back is, will have to be ready to help out. Problem is, if the 49ers show blitz, then drop into coverage, a guy like Benson or Green could get confused, then miss their assignment helping out on the left side. In that case, AR could get a pretty serious injury. I guess they injured 3 QB's last season. That's a little scary.
I'm probably most worried about the 2 Smiths, but a part of that worry comes from our RB's inexperience in the offense, and their possibility of really fucking up on some big pass blocking assignments.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

I'm expecting a very tough game here and I see the Packers playing from behind the entire game. 49ers have multiple items that the Packers have trouble with = a solid running game, an elite TE and a very good defense. I see Gore having 125 or more yards and V. Davis having at least 150 yards and 2 TDs. I just don't have faith in this defense. Packers lose this one - write it down.Comment

I assume Lang is right. If Aldon Smith is rushing, I would think Newhouse will have him with Lang talking Justin Smith. If Aldon Smith drops into coverage, they may be able to double-team Justin, although they have to look for Willis coming up the middle.Originally posted by rbaloha1 View PostI can't run no more

My concern is DE-DT twists. Lang had problems with these last year and always got caught up and late to the DE coming back inside. Newhouse made things worse. I guarantee they see this in the first half, even if its an OLB coming inside.Originally posted by JustinHarrell View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

From what I read, they like to do a 2-smith stunt quite a bit. Smith charging the T/G gap, with Adlon Smith wrapping around.Originally posted by pbmax View Post
That's the type of stunt the Packers like to run with Mathews, so I think our guys will be ready for it. Problem is, Smith is just better than Newhouse, and whether he's ready or not, that's a matchup he loses often enough to get AR killed if he doesn't have help. The 49ers can really test the preparation of our backs with that. Show blitz on our offenses right side, get the RB a little confused when they drop into coverage, then have the Smith duo get one on ones on the blindside. Scary. Ready or not, it's scary. Not ready is even more scary, and the guys I see as most unlikely to be ready are our two backs.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Draws, screens, quick passes, hard counts, moving pockets, help from the backs. . . . . All of those things will keep SF off balance and the Smiths in check. Problem is, it only takes one missed assignment to make AR the 4th QB in 17 games to be injured.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

I forgot to mention Rodger's masterful hard Count. Could be effective early if SF is too amped up.Originally posted by JustinHarrell View PostComment

Their offense still has Alex Smith...he sucksLast edited by Tony Oday; 09-08-2012, 09:39 PM.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

Gonna be a beautiful day tomorrow here in GB. 70 degrees, wind on the low side (10MPH.) That plays to our strength. Brand spankin new field (I'm sure they'll have the grass cut nice and short for speed.) There are just little advantages to being at home. The crowd, making it harder on their O, and easier on our O to do the hard counts. Both of our practice fields have the same dd-grassmaster hybrid surface as Lambeau. It's minor, but the surface has a little effect on timing, and just a feel for what a guy can and can't do. . . . . SF has to take long flight out here, sleep in different beds. . . . Again, minor, but it plays in.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

This is a total guess here, but I would think as long as the game is close or they are up, they're going to want to go with 2WR's, 1 RB, Vernon Davis and either another FB or TE.
Davis, a FB and TE gives them a lot of size to run the ball with. At the same time, with Davis in there, we're almost forced into nickle so Woodson can come down.
It's going to be tough if we don't have two big guys in the middle. Raji and a rookie would get bitch slapped. Pickett wouldn't get bitch slapped, but pair him with a rookie, and that rookie is going to get bitch slapped. They'll shove it down our throats, then it will open up everything else for them.
Not a lot of talk about Raji and Pickett, but those are two big players in this game and that's not just in belly size. Without Pickett or Raji, we're going to have a very hard time stopping them. Without both, they could light us up.Last edited by RashanGary; 09-08-2012, 10:05 PM.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment
