Digit system speeds Crabtree's learning

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:45:26 -0500

But the idea behind the digit system is pretty straight forward. For instance, offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye this week made reference to Crabtree knowing what he's supposed to do on a play called "525 F-Post." Heck, even I know that Crabtree runs a "comeback" route on that play. I have no idea on which side he lines up, if anybody goes in motion, the depth of his route or any of that. But I know the X runs a 5 (comeback), the Y runs a 2 (slant), the Z runs a...

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:15:27 -0500

San Francisco starts on the Seahawks 43 and turn that field position into three quick points. Moran Norris blasts through the middle for fifteen then the drive stalled. Seattle's rush defense is barely holding on. The Seahawks need a productive drive to, if nothing else, slow the 49ers rushing attack. With a two score lead and consistently good field position, it would be foolish for San Francisco not to run up the middle until Seattle proves it can stop them.

From: Sacramento Bee When asked Wednesday which positions the 49ers would try to beef up in the offseason, Head Coach Mike Singletary cited quarterback, offensive tackle, pass rusher and safety. He didn?t mention ?fullback,? but after talking about his power-rushing philosophy for most of the press conference, he probably didn?t need to. The 49ers played most [...]

Zak Keaseya??Really?

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:18:18 -0500

It may just be me, but why in the hell is Zak Keasey even an option at fullback. Is this seriously the guy the team wants blocking for Frank?
