Your 49er Stand-in of the Day
Frank Gore, Honorary Secretary of the Spring View Cricket & Recreation Club in Lancashire England.
Frank has had a long and distinguished career with the Club and after hanging up his bat in 1997 has remained heavily involved. Acting as a liaison to the younger members of the club and active in recruiting new members, Frank has served as Honorary Secretary since 2004.
Good on ya, Frank!
So this is it boys. The 49ers are now 2-0 and well on their way to a perfect 19-0 season. If anything has become clear, though, it's that the offense refuses to make it easy on the D. Jim Hostler, the offensive coordinator, once again rolled out an extremely conservative game plan. How obvious was it when the Niners got the ball back with 3:00 and a one point lead that they were going to run it up the middle 3 times in a row? There was more play-action today, but the crucial 3rd down plays were uninspired and predictable. Frank Gore is a stud, and can be a workhorse, but it doesn't do any good if you only get 8 first downs. If the passing game is working and the ball is moving, he'll get his shots.
The defense once again looked great. Nate Clements is already paying huge dividends, and our young linebackers Willis and Lawson looked excellent. Let's hope for their sake that the offense gets a little fed up of spoon feeding and takes some bites at the Steelers next week. Just my $0.02.
Alright, the recaps:
- First off... I NMN ("need more Nedney").
- Nolan's post-game conference. In video form, no less. My heavens the internet is a wonderful place.
- Ratto weighs in on ugly. If anybody knows ugly inside & out it is Ray Ratto.
- Game grades from the Chron. Oy vey the offense is bad.
- But there's a simple solution. VERNON DAVIS.
There's more recaps around in the Sac Bee, Chron, San Jose Mercury News, etc. I'm going to cut it off here and get on with my Monday morning.
Here's to 2-0 and the division lead.
- Lee Fucking Woodall
