Niners week

I thought it was BS analysis.  For those who don't recall, whoever the talking head was during the broadcast said that when Williams was looking around examining the D pre snap that was a obvious tell that it was a pass.

 Every back on every team is looking around at where the defenders are on every play no matter if it's run or pass.   

If it's a run, they dont just blindly slam into the called hole.   They know the play design and the defenders positions pre snap will determine how the play unfolds.  Ok, maybe Brent Fullwood just slammed into the hole.  

If it's a pass, same thing.

It was complete BS.

I swear, I've had the hardest time keeping track of the RBs and their numbers the last couple of years or so.  
Thanks for the correction, P'Hawk.

The announcers of a couple of the games we played remarked on some of GBs “tells”. When certain players were in the lineup and the body language expressions of a certain player, it would tell when it would be a run or pass play. Lewis and A Jones were the examples used.....

Spielman showed a couple of things during the Lions game.

The first was an example of Jones moving his eyes L-R-L while lined up in the backfield. Spielman said this was a key read for the LBs, as it indicated a pass play because his eye movement was him scanning for blitzers.

That was a good catch by Spielman but I think it was Willliams. Pretty sure that was during the 2+ hours Jones was on the bench. 

Regardless of which RB it was, I'm confused why the RB wouldn't do the exact same thing on every play?  I would think it would be useful to know where the defensive players were lined up. 

ETA - see BrainDed's post at the top of the page.

I like my backs have their eyes clinched tight as the QB is calling the plays.

Or looking for John Candy in the stands.

BS or not BS....one thing is for certain. There is LOTS of tape on MM's offense. It's usually why most coaches have a shelf life of 10 years.

The biggest problem 😀 Defensive Coordinators have is Aaron Rodgers going all school yard on them. Is it possible that's because he improvises - While the play is unfolding?

MM's job hinges on this season. Anything short of a deep playoff run & you can expect a new HC in 2019.

I think we all know Aaron Rodgers is a cancer.

Here’s a novel idea. How about both Williams and Jones in at the same time? You can hand off to the bruiser, pitch to the elusive back , have Jamal there for blitz pick up and toss the ball to Jones in the flat. 

IT AINT THAT HARD MIKE!!!!!!!

I agree. 

1) He can grow on you.

2) He infects other teams defenses.

3) Unless treated with pass drops, he can be the death of an opposing team. 

Good catch Henry. 

Anyone here heard this rumor?

I don't buy that rumor unless McCarthy has gotten health problems so bad that he feels like he shouldn't continue.  I just have a hard time seeing him quit mid-season, though I could see him pursuing other opportunities after the season is over.

Agrees, but that's different than saying a RB is telling pass / run by scanning the field presnap.   MM's tells are that "we do what we do" and run the same plays in the same down / distances over and over and over and over again because "if we execute we can't be stopped" or something like that.  

Sure Mike,  that's true, but if you deceived the opponent and they didn't know what you were going to do, it would make it easier for the players to execute.  Yes, Mike?   

Poof, his mind is blown. 

#49ers RB Matt Breida (shoulder/ankle) has improved through the week and is pushing to play tonight vs. the #Packers here in Green Bay, source said. As Kyle Shanahan said Saturday, it’ll be a game-time type of decision.

well then that's bad news for Mike. watching teams like the rams and chiefs, this team is far from competing for a deep playoff run. 

I remember when defense used to be a part of the NFL.  seems to me these score-happy teams with no defense might prove lacking on down the line (I hope).

50 drunks in a bar?  Sounds like their statistical model.

Even with an 88 out there? 

As for the Pettine rumor, I'm sure it's bogus but I wouldn't complain much.

I haven't seen a great defense yet this year.  Jacksonville is one of the most talented and they got destroyed yesterday.  If your offense is turning it over and not sustaining drives to rest your defense, there isn't a defense in the NFL this year that can overcome that.

The last really great one I can remember was Denver in 2015, that defense was fantastic.  But those type of defenses don't come around very often.

It was my mistake as well. So thanks. Yet whoever it was is still a tell, as is having Lewis in on many of the run plays. As others have noted MM has been around for quite some time and I am sure there is a whole lot of game tape on his play calling and on Rodgers as well. Pettine would be a Head coach that would try and avoid being predictable.

I think MM steppig down with as you said health issues that is the ONLY way this happens.  It just isn't the Packers way to make changes in the middle of the year.  Personnally if I had to make a prediction MM steps aside to take a position in the front office or to take a year off. 

The same front office that only gave him a 1-yr renew? 

Looking at the game I see another weakness from our team. And some teams have been able to exploit it. Safety play is a concern. This week I see that the Niners have another good TE. If the LB or safety has to cover a good TE from the opponent we seem to struggle. Now I know that this defense is not the same as last year, but we do have many of the same players. Shut down Kittle and I believe our CBs can do the rest, esp without a good OLB pass rush.

Good old George Kittle. From TE U. 

Man, it would be nice to see Noah Fant in green and gold next year. With a coach that isn't afraid of using the TE. 

We do what we do with TEs.

I'm making a prediction....

If MM Loses this game tonight, then he will be terminated over the bye week. 

Pettine, interim HC?? I don't know.... but I wouldn't want to lose him as a DC.

Yep.

Easier for Holmgren's QBs. He provided them with terrific schemes and excellent assistants. McCarthy gives 12 prehistoric schemes and journeyman assistants who are basically mini-McCarthys. https://t.co/01hF7VBdef

I'd like to see more of Tony Brown this week.  Yeah, stupid penalty last week, but he is a nasty motha lover and we need some more of that.   Plus, I like watching it

Packers’ WRs Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison are “likely to be inactive” vs 49ers tonight on Monday Night Football, per @saltersl.

Makes sense with the bye coming up.

mm not reporting to GM.  this owner is a take a number kind of guy, if anything, we will see a change at the end of the season.

Don't have a link, but heard Michael Cohen on the radio this am, thinks it's likely Alexander and Breeland will be active tonight. Packers should have their full complement of DB's tonight.

It will be interesting to see how Breeland looks tonight. 

That's good news,  nice to have um back

I'm thinking # 12 should have a good game,  we won't have to play catch up all night long.  Quite simply  the 49ers can't score.

Has anyone heard Bulaga’s status for tonight?

Been anxious to see what Breeland brings.  Haven't seen him play.

Anyone here heard this rumor?

From LSU4GB's mom?

watching teams like the rams and chiefs, this team is far from competing for a deep playoff run. 

If they meet the Chiefs in the playoffs, they had a pretty good playoff run.

Tonight's  game is just a primer for the Feb 3 meeting with KC  in the Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta. Just watch  how the  offense will be methodical  in their surgical dissection of the 49ers defense, the only question will be how much they  pummel the Niners. 

Appears Bulaga will play tonight per local WI radio today.

I hope you're right.  Without Allison and Cobb, that might make things a little tougher, but I agree that the 49ers without Garappolo are pretty much in the running for weakest team in the NFL.  If the 49ers do somehow win this game..... Yikes!!!!
