So the deniers were saying that we had prepared sufficently for the read option??? Is that your point???

Good article as an aside, but I am not seeing the tie in to your thread title.

No big deal.

Fad offense.

Etc., Etc., Etc.

Did you read this or did you just see the headline and post the story?

"Nowinsky expects NFL defenses to hit the quarterback early and often.
That's why he sees the read-option, in the pros, going the way of the dodo."

Reading comprehension isn't always taught.

So in your world anyone who doesn't go along with the panicky overreactions (Packers roster isn't tough enough, the QB option is going to be their achilles heel for the next decade) is a denier? Hard to know where to begin arguing with that way of thinking.

So basically its what I have said a million times. Against mobile QB's you collapse the pocket, not take edges.

This article reaffirms what the "denialists" have been saying. We weren't prepared, we will be this time.

Good to see you are still posting, Bobble. Thought maybe you and Wist had been liquidated.

They work for Booz Allen?

Funny, I was going to post this article in support of what many have said:
-GB wasn't prepared because SF had not used it much previously
-pro teams will beat up QBs as much as they can
-the physical beating of QBs could make this short-lived
-defenses always catch up

I guess I was wrong?

I have zero faith in Capers - I hadn't watched a lot of SF last year, but I saw enough to know you had to set the edge to contain Kapnerfucker... it wasn't even a consideration for Damien.

The team was completely unprepared - there's no getting around that; and there was beginning to be some grumbling in the locker room; which I think is one of the reasons Woodson was shown the door.

I do think we have a reasonable amount of talent on defense - but as long as Damien is there, we're always one game plan away from being blown out. One week we look like we belong in the SB, and all the homers rejoice as if we've already won it; and the next week we look like one of the worst defenses in the league... that's all on Capers.

Perhaps if he stopped spray painting his hair, he'd get more oxygen and sunlight to his brain, and he'd realize he's not play Madden??

The law of averages would seem to imply that the 9ers have a year, *maybe* 2 to capitalize on their current advantage or get relegated to the annals of indifference.

There is also a hint in the article that on the long TD run by Kaepernick, Woodson may have been the biggest culprit, especially when read in view of Greenes comments absolving Walden.

They are also going to play 4 games against teams that are built to punish them. I expect Seattle and St. Lou to clobber Kaep this year.
