[Leur objectif? 2008... ou pas] 49ers topic / 2007 edition

de toute façon, cette saison, nous sommes simplement pitoyables en attaque.
La défense fait grosso modo son boulot, mais devant
Gore n'a pas fait un match à 100 yards de la saison. A sa décharge, il passe son temps à se heurter à un mur. Il n'y a aucune brèche de creer devant lui.
Comme le jeu aerien est inexistant, en plus, les def adverses peuvent en toute tranquilité se concentrer sur lui.
Nos WR ont des mains en pierre avec des drops en veux tu en voilà.
Smith est indigent et Dilfer est pire.
quant au coaching, n'en parlons pas:
Hostler DOIT sauter, et vite encore.
Et ne parlons pas de Nolan qui, sur une 4° tentative et 7 pts de retard sur les rams, en fin de match, choisi le FG alors qu'il ne reste que 1:51 à jouer.
en clair, pour résumer la saison:
Je vous jure, cette année, je comprends ce qu'on pu resentir les fans des browns pendant des années

Citation :

"I believe I have a very strong staff, very good staff," Nolan said. "I believe (the coaching staff) is stronger this year than it was last year."

Nolan had plenty of his own questions to answer after electing to kick a field goal when the 49ers trailed by seven points with 1:51 left. The coach said he didn't think his offense had a good chance to convert on fourth-and-10 -- not with a solid defense and Joe Nedney's remarkable ability with onside kicks waiting to give them another chance to win instead of tie.

"We've got a very exceptional and very unique onside kick," Nolan said, though the 49ers haven't recovered their last three attempts at the unorthodox move.

Staff "plus fort" que l'an dernier... Plus fort à quoi? Au bras de fer? Quel déconneur, ce Mike.

ouais, franchement, là, il nous prend vraiment pour des cons !
qu'on le vire, ce bon à rien !!
et hostler avec !
et embauchez moi marty

Le nom du Head Coach, je m'en cogne. Tout ce que je veux c'est que Norv revienne s'occuper de l'attaque et que Tom Rathman revienne entrainer nos RBs.

Ted Tollner est arrivé pour aider Hostler, est-ce ça qui a permis d'avoir un plan de jeu offensif plus conforme au niveau NFL, aucun idée pour le moment.

Pour le backfield défensif, il y a une explication à cette saignée yardesque, Spencer et Hudson se sont blessés, on a donc vu Strickland en action.
Mais il s'est bien rattrapé le petit Donald avec le ballon détourné dans la end-zone à 6 secondes de la fin du 4th Qtr.

Et Willis ENORME encore une fois ! Vous avez vu la course qu'il a fait pour plaquer le WR Morey après une passe de 62 yards !!!



Les cards nous ont bien aidés en OT, sur les 4 possesions (2 ARI, 2 SF), une pénalité :

PENALTY on ARI-51-D.Blackstock, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at SF 44 - No Play.

Citation :

PENALTY on ARI-89-B.Patrick, Illegal Block Above the Waist, 8 yards, enforced at ARI 16.

Citation :

PENALTY on ARI, Delay of Game, 5 yards, enforced at SF 9 - No Play.

PENALTY on ARI-89-B.Patrick, Illegal Block Above the Waist, 3 yards, enforced at ARI 6.

Ha putain, Willis.
ce mec est un monstre !!

Ca fait 15mn que je cherche qq chose à dire pour remonter mon moral de fan des Niners, mais y a vraiment rien... On est tous pourris. A part Willis.

Si Dallas gagne un 6ème titre avant nous, je rends mon jersey !

De toute façon, quand on redonne 6 fois le ballon à nos adversaires (4 int et deux fumbles), on peut pas espérer autre chose qu'une branlée.

Smith est pas une flèche mais Dilfer est vraiment à la ramasse.
et Gore est sous utilisé. Il n'av porté que 12 fois le ballon.
Quoi? 12 fois? il n'a joué qu'une mi temps alors? ben non même pas.
quand on sait qu'avec Gore on a perdu un seul match quand il porte le ballon 20 fois ou plus, j'avoue que j'ai un peu de mal à comprendre la "stratégie" offensive.

Tu dis ça à cause de sa blessure ou parce que tu ne crois déjà plus à ton QB de 23 ans?

Je commence à me demander s'il ne faut pas s'asseoir sur les 50M$ filés à Alex Smith et chercher quelqu'un d'autre pour assurer le boulot. Même avec Norv Turner, Smith était juste passable (16TDs/16Int)...
Ou pourquoi ne pas tester Shaun Hill, tiens?

Tu n'es pas le seul à te poser la question :

Citation :

CZAR'S SCOOP: ...There is no doubt that the relationship between the coaching staff and former starting quarterback Alex Smith is deteriorating. There is a good chance that the 49ers won't pay Smith his $8 million option bonus next March, one that would secure contract seasons for the 2009-10 seasons. If they don't pay, Smith will have a base salary of $2 million next year.

Faut lui laisser encore un an, ensuite faudra aviser. L'an prochain, il sera rétablit. Avec le pick du 1er tour d'Indy, on se prend un WR par exemple, un vrai avec des mains et tout ça. Après ça, s'il se plante, tant pis pour lui.

A mon avis, la meilleure réponse/excuse qui existe, elle se trouve en gros dans la signature de joemontana.

Ah si un truc très énervant aussi. La positive attitude de coach Nolan et le côté "si ça plante c'est de ma faute" sans arrêt. Quand on l'entend, on sait pourquoi l'équipe n'a pas "l'oeil du tigre". Peut-être lui dire au revoir et recruter un autre HC porté sur l'offensive (vu que visiblement Mike Singletary fait bien son boulot en DC).

Intéressant cet article.

On second thought, Niners take Rodgers
Column by Art Spander

SANTA CLARA — He threw for 201 yards and a touchdown. He was given a stamp of approval by one of the great ones. Aaron Rodgers is the real deal.
On the wrong team.

The more it appears Alex Smith may not be the quarterback for the 49ers, the more it appears Aaron Rodgers should have been.

Rodgers was the local hero, the kid from Cal, the one who completed his first 23 passes against USC in 2004. But the Niners passed him by in the'05 draft, and eventually the Green Bay Packers took him.

The Niners were going to prove we didn't know football, prove Alex Smith was the smart choice. Someday he very well be that.

He isn't at the moment.

Smith is ailing, has that dislocated shoulder. The Niners quarterback position is ailing, backup Trent Dilfer throwing four interceptions in the 31-14 loss Sunday to the Carolina Panthers.

Aaron Rodgers is progressing. When Brett Favre went down against the Cowboys, Rodgers got up. Completed 18 of 25 in his first major chance at significant playing time. Impressed the master himself.

"I thought he played great," said Favre. "He gave us afrom Sports 1


chance to win."

Mike Nolan has linked himself inextricably to Alex Smith, who was Mike's selection in Mike's first draft. And whether Nolan or personnel director Scott McCloughan had the final say, doesn't matter.

What does matter is Smith, even before the injury, has not met expectations.

Maybe because he's had three offensive

coordinators. Maybe because Alex came from a shotgun offense at Utah. Maybe because he isn't as good as Mike Nolan thought he would be.

"You could go a lot of different ways with that," said Nolan. "Obviously, (Rodgers) is on a different football team. They're a football team that's got tremendous momentum. I think it's unfair to compare the two."

Unfair but not unrealistic. Rodgers has been learning from Favre, arguably the greatest of all time. Learning on a team which will be in the playoffs. Learning in a situation without pressure.

Then, when given the chance, stepped on the field and performed.

"I saw the game too," Nolan said of Dallas' 37-27 victory over the Pack. But everything about his situation is different. He goes in where even the people around him have a lot of confidence in what's going on."

This should have been the year Smith blossomed. Now it is the year a television report says the Niners are considering not picking up an $8 million option on Smith's contract for the 2009-10 seasons.

Now it is the year Nolan concedes the Niners must acquire another competent quarterback. Although the coach naturally didn't express it that directly.

"I think it's very important," Nolan agreed, "that you have competition at every position. Quarterback is not sacred of that type of thought process.

"Whatever the position, obviously guys don't grow on trees. And if you're talking about real competition, then you're talking about somebody you have to pursue, as opposed to draftable competition. Again, I'm speaking of any position, but the quarterback is not immune."

The Niners' troubles hardly are restricted to quarterback. The defense, so stout for so long, was ineffective against the Panthers. Yet when it's on the field 38 minutes, that's hardly a surprise.

The surprise is Nolan finally is allowing the mask to slip.

For 21/2 seasons he has kept up the pose and the prose, trying to persuade us it will all work out.

"It angers me we lost the game," Nolan said.

Nate Clements, Michael Lewis, Marques Douglas and Frank Gore are not to be chastised. They are to be commended.

"But as a football team, it's the whole that counts," Nolan said.

Including quarterback. When he's healthy that would be Alex Smith.

But probably it should have been Aaron Rodgers.

A l'époque, comme 2C, j'étais pas fan de prende un QB en first pick. mais j'avoue que j'aurais préférer Rodgers siplement parce que c'était le gosse du coin qui réalisait le rêve de jouer dans "son " équipe".
