Re: Around the NFL Week 5
I haven't been impressed with Jimmy Garoppolo, so far, this season. I think the 'Niners have a good squad at this juncture of the season, but they'll need better QB play when it's all said and done.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
They have 260 yard rushing tonight. You just don't see that in NFL games.

Tonight's game was an ass-kicking on every level, but I'm not exactly impressed with Jimmy G. nor the hyped-up Browns. |

via @ESPN App http://espn.com/app 40 rushing attempts! Full back TE on the field at the same time. Imagine that. Callahan is such a technician though... Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
The Shanahans sure know how to put a run game together

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
Niners are for real, that division will probably have 3 playoff teams.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
Running the ball and winning goes hand in hand. It will always be a formula that wins.
its foolish to think otherwise...especially when you are playing high octane offenses. Plus the biggest thing is when you posses the ball running it, it gives your defense a breather...its the most overlooked portion of the impact. Green Bay running the ball...suddenly winning. Indy beat KC running the ball. San Fran, pedestrian passing attack...but winning. Redskins last year...pedestrian passing...6-2 start. New Orleans has moved to a more running team. Dallas dominates when it runs. Patrioits have always run the ball well. With our questionable QB play, why aren't we moving to a run based offense?

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
If I was to formulate a reason on why we can't run the ball I would start with the o-line. Also, our run game has never messed with the passing game. Hopefully, that changes.
I understand Bill is an offensive line coach and says he wants to run the ball, but as a head coach in Oakland and at Nebraska, he ran a west coast offense. At Nebraska, I watched him line up with 1st and goal at the two and throw three straight fade routes. On fourth down, he threw a pass to the flat that was returned for a touchdown. He never utilized the run game that Nebraska was always known for. That is why he got walked. |

Colts invested 3 1st Round picks for their LT-LG-C and a 2nd on their RT. LG was a 4th R from Seattle. Cowboys also invested a lot. No need to list them. 49ers have 3 1st Rounders and a 2nd on their O line. Plus I think Shanny passing reputation keeps D Coord honest even if they arent putting up a lot of passing yards. We have Trent, Scherff and Ereck Flowers as our 1st rounders. Moses as our 2nd Rounder. We have no passing attack threat. Bergstrom and co are getting beat 1-on-1 without putting up much if any resistance. Run the ball, take select deep shots when given, control the clock and win it on a last second field goal. Old school 80s-90s football. |

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
The run game under Callahan has been a failure. Not sure what's going to change now. If we can't run the ball for more than 2.8 yards a pop we're going to see a ton of 3 and outs and the D will be even more stressed.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
I say start Smallwood, AP is too slow getting off the line and tends to go sideways instead of plowing ahead.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
I get the Skins running game stinks but its hard to establish a running game when they are losing from the get go. You cant play catch up and run the ball, the two don't go together.

Re: Around the NFL Week 5
The move to Callahan won't change the win/loss column, the team is still garbage. The one thing that will change is locker room will not be as laid back, when you have multiple players over the years talk about how laid back practice is, that is on the HC.
