Niners don't have anyone to cover Percy

[purguy12]

he is way over rated. not worried about him.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Not to worry. Odds her they'll rule him inactive due to back spasms after trying to tie his shoes pre-game on Sunday.

Lynch is the only one that worries me on that offense, and does every time we play the Hawks.

Golden Tate didn't look like himself after getting hit hard also. You have to wonder how effective either receiver will be. Tate was definitely hearing footsteps.

Wilson worries me... how often he's flooded out only to make a play via legs or a WTF COME ON pass

We just smashed a bigger better version of Frodo Wilson. Not scared of him at all.

Harvin has a concussion. But the Seahawks have announced that no NFL doctor with a California address will be allowed to examine him before the game next Sunday

Good one Toby!

Cam was more willing to stay in the pocket and we got to him... plus like you said, bigger target.

Wilson is much more evasive. Not necessarily fast, but he's quicker and more shifty and quick to pull the trigger to bounce out of the pocket

He's very good at that, he's like Tarkenton.

 

[tomikcon1971]

I think the Seattle offensive downturn started after we played them at the Stick. We seemed to start the trend of keeping him in the pocket and neutralizing his scrambles (when he's most dangerous). I think others have tried to copy that.

Keep Wilson in the pocket, key on Lynch and let the chips fall where they may.

 

[Badger8843]

Harvin is not 100% either way, if we shut down lynch we will win this game

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Crowd noise, Sherman, Lynch in that order.

 

[CalamityX11]

Sherman can only cover one guy... lol dont throw it his way!

 

[CalamityX11]

Defense needs to create some serious turnovers and get additional possesions... I know Wilson has the tendency to lose the ball with hit/swiped, got to take advantage of it....

Offense needs to start fast as well. Don't get behind early and get the crowd into it.

I'll be singing a different tune come gameday or sooner but the niners, off/def/st, can't fall behind by more than 2 scores IMO... keep it close or take a lead... whether the initial storm and blow it up in the 2nd half.

 

[purguy12]

Oh yeah what about to the Great Ginn?

 

[RoboticDreams]

He's hardly played at all, all season. I'm not expecting Minnesota Harvin to show up on Sunday.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Per a league source, Harvin engaged in baseline testing on Monday, which involves comparing his current cognitive abilities to prior measurements taken at a time when he was not concussed.

So you're saying it's a pretty low bar for cognitive ability.

Who? Ginn?

Ginn was also really good in certain offensive packages IMO. I argued this point when he was in SF, but people here said he was useless. They were wrong.

The Niners rely on clock control and field position. If Ginn were still on the team they would probably get an extra 5 yards or so per drive starting.

I love Ginn's ST game as much as anybody but here is the average starting field position for the 49ers the past 3 years with Ginn's kick returns in 2012 and 2011 (and their NFL ranking):

2013 - 23.32 (8th) - w/o Ginn
2012 - 23.74 (5th) - w/Ginn
2011 - 22.52 (12th) - w/Ginn

Where I really miss Ginn is on PRs, though. I don't have any detailed numbers on those.
