I wonder what it feels like to have a running game like San Francisco is having tonight.

[dol-phan007]

I could only dream about doing what they are doing tonight. Are they stronger or is it coaching?

 

[BahamaFinFan78]

I think it's coaching like the Broncos of years ago. It didn't matter who played RB, they got 1000 yards and the Pats under Belichick, no matter who played, their QBs had time

Should of gave a third round pick to Washington for Trent Williams and took Jonathan Taylor instead of Jackson

Combination of players and good coaching. We don't seem to have either as far as the oline goes.

 

[Sirspud]

It's both. I mean there is far more orchestration to the running attacks of teams like San Fran and Tennessee than meets the eye, but you have to acquire talent with an eye towards that play style too.

 

[GreenDolphinSt]

They do have better OL players. But in terms of running game scheme, it's not good coaching, it's great coaching. McDaniel.

 

[Pete345]

They have 5 Olineman that are better than any of the lousy players bozo Grier has brought in.
It helps when your GM has a brain.

Mindset. Players. Commitment.

We could have Taylor round 2 pick 39. We took Noah and Hunt instead Taylor went pick 41. That Noah pick was the worst of all time when we have X and jones. I’ll never understand

Not going to discount player talent - MIA doesn't have the minimum NFL OL talent. And I don't want to get into another talent or coaching thread. However, the SF run game has a lot of scheme to get the run game successful. They have a lot of what is called 'wham' block or cut back block. A lot of double-team blocks on the outside. A lot of chip blocks. In short, even though they have OL talent, they give the OLmen help . . . often.

I will say it was amazingly frustrating to repeatedly see Brissett in a shotgun formation with a single RB behind him on 2nd and long…saying “Watch this, these idiots are gonna try to run between the tackles out of this formation,” and being right 75% of the time.

Right now it feels like our first round draft pick is dropping back even further

Shanahan learned well from his father.

If the average fan can learn by watching, I don't know why NFL coaches can't

How about picking Shawn Jefferson at 18 and Taylor at 26? Don't even get started about Herbert. 2021 draft has been good so far. 2020 draft is going to be too hard to get over unless Tua finds consistent health and play. Obviously rooting for him. I know I just went off on a tangent.
