I think this week, it should be more of the same as last, why?
Because the 49er offense is pretty one dimensional, they are a decent running team but weak in the passing game.. so I think we play the same type of offensive game to get a little more confidence and more importantly more work in for the Oline. This group needs to jell..
If Tauscher is back.. I think you put him in there and have Lang replace Colledge for a game.. see how that alignment settles in.
For this week.. we don't need 28 points or better to win.. we need to control the ball and play another field possession game. We can wear this front seven down much like we did last week... have them sucking air by the late 3rd Quarter.
But I agree with the overall assessment.. we have to balance this passing attack out.. a couple of weeks ago it was all mid to deep routes.. now just the opposite this past week.. maybe by design though.. letting this offensive line get a little confidence in.
Additionally.. don't forget that we ran the ball a little more often last week.. we might not be a power running team but we have to keep that defensive line from teeing off in the pass rush every down.. notice how we abused the Cowboy line once they let off the run.. that is what teams have been doing to us.. and we don't have a solid line yet.
Want to truly hide or lessen the impact of our porous line.. then balance out the playcalling so the defense has to at least respect all options and slow them down a bit.
