This is not a criticism of Gore, but I wonder about his stats. How often do we do we run Frank up the middle on first down, and have done that over the last few years? What is his average on these runs? How many fail to get more than 2 yards? It sure seems that all of our coaches have relied on this very heavily, and the rate of success is not good. Do we do this more than other teams?
As a minor additional point, Aikman was on this all day, how the defense was set up to stop the run in first down. But the Niners did it anyway, with nothing to show for it. Then finally, they did a play action fake to Gore and did what wild and crazy thing? Threw it to Bruce Miller in the flat for 2 yards! Wow. Exciting. Sure to keep all the defense coordinators awake at night.
