How do you attack the 49'rs if you are calling the plays?

I think the dink and dunk is not going to work this game. I forget the guy's name but the bad-ass LB SF has is going to be all over Moeki like stink on shit in an alley.

The WR's are going to have to show up and Cassel is going to have to hit them. The problem is I don't think our O-line can contain the pass rush this game. This is arguably the best defense we have faced so far this year.

The sideways crap isn't going to work. 3 step drops are going to have to be on time and crisp cause Cassel is not going to have time to be Cassel in the pocket on Sunday. We are going to have to attack with the ground game running behind Waters and Albert. I would stay away from one of the best LB's in football.

I think this could be a huge game for Charles against an overagressive defense. If we can get him past the first guy I think there will be a lot of holes for him to pick away. Jones and the up the gut game is probably not the choice for this game, BUT if that works, then pound it. If we can run it up the gut against these guys would should really be able to do whatever we want.

Again though, I think Bowe, Chambers and McCluster are going to have to be the ones to win this on offense on Sunday. The PA Pass should be there early as teams know rushing is our strength and the 9'rs are very aggressive in the pass rush.

I hate to say it but I think on Sunday you have to call Cassel's # a lot

1. Let Willis thru the line clean and let him knock Cassel out of the game.
2. Put Croyle in at QB.
3. ??????
4. Profit!

Lots and lots of play action, but be willing to risk the pick. We're going to need some big plays to win and a you won't get that throwing to your fullback off a play-fake.

We have to use their speed and aggression against them.

This is the way to go.

It does make one realize that good ILBs help against both the run and the pass.

The other thing you hear with fast ILBs is to simply run straight at them and put a bigger helmet on them. If Willis can outmuscle a guard in a one-on-one, then he deserves to make the tackle. But I think Lilja and Waters match up well on him.
