re: So this game, sadly, is on Brees

quote:Agreed. More and more teams around the league are using the extra TE and/or going "tackle eligible," but not out of the desperation that we used it today in the 2nd half. We had no choice. I know we tend to use it A LOT in our PA package to give Brees extra time on those long developing routes down the field.
They blocked them fine in the 1st half using max pro & chipping with TE's & backs. Call it what you want but I call it doing what it takes to win. Btw, this has become something that Payton has used numerous times against defenses with good pass rushers. Remember the demolition of the Giants last year? The offense killed the Giants D-Line with max pro as well as chips from the backs & TE's.
However, I honestly don't know what your argument with me is, in this thread. Are you arguing that the oline actually had a solid game? You quoted a post of mine saying the oline is mediocre and that having a HOF QB like Brees helps make them better. Are you disagreeing with that? Then it turned into an Xs and Os argument about whether or not I know what stunts and blitzes are...
After what we've seen from the Saints vs. this version of the 49ers, I don't see how its controversial to say our oline can't block them.

Their coaching staff made adjustments at halftime while our offensive coaches panicked & got away from their game plan.
In the first half, the 49ers hardly did any line stunts because Saints stuck to the ground game. When you stunt against times that power run, you leave yourself vulnerable to gashing runs. Once our offense abandoned the run, it was over. They stunted up front at will & we had no answer for it because the coaching staff left no one in to help block nor did they chip block before releasing for their routes.
& yes teams do use max pro when they have injuries or struggles on the offensive line. They use it get another big body in game to help keep a clean pocket. Teams also use it when they want to enforce a physical run game. The offense should have never gotten away from it because you can be more creative out of it then you think. That's why I say the Saints were outcoached more then they were "out manned".
