[Quest for Six!] 49ers Topic

C'est vrai que la foire aux maillots qui n'ont rien à voir avec l'affiche, bon... On va dire que c'est la fête de la NFL à l'étranger. Mais dans ce cas, un match de présaison (ou même le pro bowl, tiens) suffirait.
Remarque, j'ai bien vu un gamin avec un maillot de Tebow quand je suis allé voir California-Colorado en septembre.
Au moins les "neutres" ont joué le jeu en agitant leurs drapeaux 49ers. Après pour l'ambiance sur les 3rd downs, bah... on était là.





A part ça, Heitmann ne reviendra pas cette année. Il vient d'être placé en IR.

Et Merriman ne viendra pas non plus.

Citation :

The 49ers also are not believed to be interested in another high-profile player on the waiver wire, linebacker Shawne Merriman, who was released by the Chargers Tuesday. The 49ers already have four outside linebackers on the roster and claimed a fifth, rookie Thaddeus Gibson, on Monday. Singletary on Tuesday lauded starter Manny Lawson, who had his best game of the season Sunday against the Broncos, an outing that included three big hits on Denver quarterback Kyle Orton and a critical forced fumble late in the game.

Here we go again...
Après JT O'Sullivan et Shaun Hill, on va de nouveau assister à l'éventuelle prise de pouvoir par un QB #3 aux dépens de l'ex-1st pick Alex Smith.

Citation :

Coach Mike Singletary did everything but explicitly state that Troy Smith would be the starting quarterback when the team returns after this week's bye to prepare for a home game against the Rams.

Singletary suggested that Smith exhibited the kind of leadership at quarterback he found missing in the team's first seven games.

Comment on va se faire déboiter !!!

Et puis la farandole des maillots, on peut trouver ça marrant les premières fois mais en fait c'est un peu con Aller voir Denver-SF avec un maillot des Steelers sur le dos

Par extension, porter un maillot de Foot US alors qu'on n'est que dans les tribunes, c'est marrant mais c'est un peu con.

Citation :

Want to find the genesis of a promising season gone terribly wrong? Go back to the offseason, when Singletary crowned the unproven Smith as his one and only option at quarterback - then watched his unbending decision backfire in a flurry of interceptions, sack-fumbles and game-losing decisions.

Only now, with Smith tabled by a dislocated shoulder, is Singletary willing to try a Plan B after refusing all offseason to devise a credible backup plan at the quarterback position.

(...)

He left no room for the very real chance that Smith really isn't that good after all, that his career as a former No. 1 overall pick can't all be blamed on the constant change of offensive coordinators and playbooks.

Amen brother!

Apparement, on a piqué aux Steelers un joueur qu'ils comptaient se garder sous le coude.

Citation :

Thaddeus Gibson turned pro after recording four sacks as a junior outside linebacker/defensive end at Ohio State. He was part of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2010 draft class.
(...)
The 49ers added Gibson (6-foot-2, 243 pounds) to the roster last week after claiming him off waivers.
(...)
The Steelers invested a fourth-round pick in Gibson, and considered him a player worth developing.

Toujours bon à prendre surtout si on arrive pas à garder Lawson...

Ce serait dommage. Lawson a mis du temps a se développer (et on a mis du temps pour comprendre comment l'utiliser), ce serait comme la fois où on a laissé partir Julian Peterson.

En même temps, même si j'ai me bien Lawson et que j'espère que l'on pourra le prolonger, Julian Peterson c'est un cran au dessus, je trouve!

Pour Gibson, je pense que c'est un bon move du FO des niners, même si il est encore un peu "raw"

JP est un super Lb mais en couverture c'est un cran dessous Lawson. Par contre oui, pour aller chercher le Qb je pense aussi qu'il est meilleur. Et Lawson fait de belles choses cette saison (surtout faire pleurer Orton ).

En même temps, orton, c'est une chochotte.
quand tu le vois chouiner sur l'action où ML se prend un face Mask, c'est juste pitoyable.
c'te gonzesse s'écroule avant même que Lawson le touche, du coup la main touche la grille (et encore, c'est discutable) et t'as l'impression qu'on a chercher à lui arracher la tête.
"Bouh , m'sieur, m'sieur, la vilaine Manny a voulu me faire bobo !!"
change de sport he, lopette

Je te rappellerai juste que son coach est celui qui a coaché Tom Brady, spécialiste formé en Italie dans le genre

Bon, avec Alex on marquait contre des équipes comme les Eagles, les Saints...Finalement, c'est bien beau de foutre 300+ yards contre les Rams, si c'est pour jouer comme ce soir, c'est bien la peine de veiller...

Ouais, Tampa n'avait enregistré que 8 sacks depuis le début de la saison, ils en mettent 6 sur ce match, ca fait plaisir, surtout DT Gerald mcoy (notre 1st pick) qui ouvre son compteur sack.

L'attaque des 49ers ne nous aura jamais mis en difficulté, malgré une défense contre la course catastrophique, on a tenu Gore.

L'attaque des Bucs n'a pas été exceptionnel cependant, mais ca a assuré.
Blount, qui saute de nouveau au-dessus d'un défenseur.
Et OT Penn qui catch un TD, OT Penn et DT Miller avait été reporté eligible pour l'action, ca aurait du mettre la puce à l'oreille, vu qu'il ne s'alignait pas comme Extra-tackle mais comme LT.

Williams qui catch un TD malgré une pass interference. (En route pour le titre de Rookie offensif de l'année)

Et Cadillac Williams l'autre TD sur une draw, il commence à s'épanouir dans ce role de Third Down RB.

1ere fois depuis 1977 que San Francisco subit un shut-out chez eux.

Et comme disait les commentateurs, grâce à la NFC West, malgré une fiche de 3-7, les 49ers ne sont qu'à 2 victoires des playoffs, alors que je ne suis pas sûr qu'avec 7-3, les Bucs soit actuellement dans les 6 playoffables provisoires.

Alors que Tampa a une fiche de 3-0 contre la NFC West. On va terminer peut-être avec plus de victoires contre une équipe de la NFC West que n'importe quel équipe de cette division, qui joue pourtant 2 matchs de plus.

Lamentable. Se faire ridiculiser de la sorte par une équipe qui fait pas de connerie mais qui n'est pas spécialement bandante non plus... Les mots me manquent.

je crois qu'on peut d'ores et déjà se projeter sur la saison prochaine et la draft avec un QB au premier tour et un nouveau HC.
A choisir, vous prendriez qui entre ces 3 là? Jake Locker, Andrew Luck ou Ryan Mallet ?
Et en HC? Cowher, Dungy, un autre?

franchement, je suis dépité
on ne fait rien de bien.
Je ne comprends pas qu'avec les joueurs que nous avons en attaque (Gore, VD, Crab, Morgan) on n'arrive pas à avancer.
Je veux bien croire que le QB y est un peu pour qq chose, mais quand même........
A croire que les joueurs ont tous baissé les bras.
Hier, il n'y a guère que Pat Willis qui a surnagé. C'est quand même pitoyable!!

Singletary est complétement largué...

Citation :

And I was stunned by Singletary's inability to recall a not-so-obscure moment in today's game: When the Niners had the ball at Tampa Bay's 33-yard line in the third quarter and decided to punt on fourth down instead of attempt a 50-yard field goal.

I'm not questioning the decision -- fill-in Shane Andrus has never made a field goal in the NFL -- but I was stunned by this exchange:

Reporter: What about the fourth-and-4 where you decided to punt from the 33. What was the ...

Singletary: What point in the game? I'm trying to ...

Reporter: Second half, you had the ball on the Tampa Bay 33, instead of going for the field goal you punted.

Singletary (mistaking it for the Niners' decision to go for it on fourth-and-3 in the fourth quarter): I think at that time we felt like we had a play that, if we could pick it up, that's why we went for it obviously.

Reporter (or someone in press room): No, Mike ... when you punted.

Singletary: That's when we punted. I've got to ... I'm trying to figure out exactly ... Fourth-and-4 and we decided to punt?

Reporter: Right. First possession of third quarter.

Singletary: I think, obviously, I guess we felt we wanted to pin them back and maybe having a new kicker the thought process was how about we just go ahead and try to pin it on the defense.

Ca fait presque de la peine.

Twitter Tuesday: Answers to your Twestions
Thanks to everyone who submitted questions to my Twitter account @mattbarrows. Here are some of the ones that appeared to be common themes:

Assuming Sing gets fired, top three realistic candidates for HC? -- @Kurtz49
A: When the 49ers last embarked on a coaching search - the one which ended with Mike Nolan - they could not realistically have landed a whopper of a candidate. Their talent level was just too poor, about the same as an expansion team's. This year, any prospective coach would look at the 49ers' talent pool and see many, many more possibilities. In short, none of the big names would be scared off by a rebuilding project. Geography could erase one big name, Bill Cowher, from the list. He went to school at NC State, he lives in North Carolina now and he has daughters in college on the east coast, including in North Carolina. A betting man might say he'd land the Carolina job.

For the 49ers:
1.) Jon Gruden. He's sharp, he's proven, he's offensive-minded, he's got Super Bowl credentials, he's got a nice reputation in the Bay Area, he runs the West Coast offense, he's coached in San Francisco before. Gruden meets just about every criterion the 49ers should have if they go looking for a head coach. He has to be at the top of the list.

2.) Jim Harbaugh. When you're talking about college coaches, you have to wonder about a rocky transition to the NFL. (Thanks, Bobby Petrino). However, that concern is lessened in Harbaugh considering his NFL ties, considering how well his brother has done in Baltimore, considering how quickly he turned around Stanford's program and considering what Pete Carroll has done with a more dubious situation in Seattle. Hire Harbaugh and the NFC West suddenly becomes interesting again.

3.) Brian Billick. This is an admittedly selfish choice because, gee, it sure would be nice to cover a coach who loves to talk and isn't afraid of the media. Billick also has San Francisco ties, is offensive minded, would mesh well with the current offensive players and drafted the one quarterback, Troy Smith, who is most likely to be on next year's roster.

If the Niners where to fire Mike Singletary, who on the current staff would replace him? -- @jrodriguez
A: There are a number of options. Defensive coordinator Greg Manusky would be the most natural and most likely candidate. D-line coach Jim Tomsula was the head coach of the Rhein Fire in 2006 and he certainly has the big, booming personality to take over the team. Pete Hoener, Jerry Sullivan and Mike Solari also command respect at their positions and could handle the job.

Should the 49ers try to keep Trent Baalke around? -- @Terrynce
A: I speak with Baalke every now and then, and each time I do, I'm impressed by what I hear. He realized upon taking over the personnel department that the 49ers had become too one-note on offense. He's the one who brought in Ted Ginn to add some speed. He's the one who added Brian Westbrook to give the running game more versatility. The 49ers have the necessary personnel to field something different on offense. It's the coaching staff that went with the same mule-headed approach. Will Baalke stick around? I don't know the answer to that. A big-name guy like Gruden might want to bring in his own personnel staff. Somebody like Harbaugh might want final say on personnel decisions - like Nolan in 2005 - but would work hand in hand with Baalke and Tom Gamble.

Do you think the 49ers trade up in the upcoming draft for Andrew Luck? -- @MarlonGLopez
A: When the 49ers had No. 1 pick in 2005 they tried - desperately - to trade down. No team would bite because A.) There wasn't a player in that particular draft they deemed worthy of that pick and B.) Even if there were, the cost of signing a No. 1 pick was so exorbitant. This year, there's a very good chance there will be a rookie salary cap, which will make those high-draft-pick contracts far more palatable. So, to answer your question, I don't think teams will be as willing to trade away that top pick as they were in recent years. .... Then again, if the season ended today, the 49ers would have the No. 5 draft pick with Carolina, Detroit, Cincinnati and Buffalo picking ahead of them. Each of those teams either has a young QB prospect or an established one (Cincinnati). That is, either they pass on a QB or they might be willing to make a deal.

Why start G Chilo Rachal if he can't hold his own? -- @FUEGO_305
A: It's become one of life's mysteries along with "Who shot Kennedy?" "Why do bad things happen to good people?" and "What exactly is Jimmy Fallon's appeal?" I asked Singletary almost that exact question yesterday. Here's his answer:

"I think, as the coaching staff, when we look at it, we have to make the final decision from week to week. This is the business where you're trying to win football games. Chilo is not playing just because we like him; just because he's the only guy we can put there. He's playing because we feel he gives us the best chance to win. Does he have breakdowns? Yes. You just have to continue to get better."

The short answer is that Mike Solari must think Rachal is better than Adam Snyder.

Who has a better chance of being around next year, Alex Smith, Troy Smith or Nate Davis? -- @stevegrossie
A: Assuming a coaching change, I'd put them in this order: Troy Smith, David Carr, Nate Davis, Alex Smith. There's a good chance Troy Smith will be a restricted free agent and thus easy to retain. Carr is under contract, is a true professional and probably would be part of any quarterback competition. Davis is a young prospect who, at the very least, would intrigue an incoming coach. Smith will be an unrestricted free agent who would be best served going elsewhere. Many Niners fans have turned the page on him, but my sense is that he'd be a hot free-agent commodity for teams looking for a dependable No. 2.

Does it seem that after this game a number of players made comments that were thinly veiled references to being out-coached? -- @kasparhausers
A: Yes, and the coaches' answers were thinly veiled references that the players messed up. It's like me saying, "My editor put a lousy headline on this story but because it's got my byline on it, it's on me."

-- Matt Barrows

Jim Harbaugh... Si en plus, on peut drafter Luck, ça pourrait être intéressant.

Victoire facile donc, qui nous ramène à 1 victoire de la 1ère place.

Sinon, ça me fait plaisir de voir Westbrook revenir à un bon niveau chez vous. Il le mérite amplement.

Superbe action qui résume la graaaaande défense des niners...
