[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 862587"] While I'm sure they were not happy with the SF outcome, I betcha Gutekunst's and LaFleur's overriding feelings about this season are ones of satisfaction and vindication. These guys came into this season with largely unproven concepts of what it takes to build a roster, coach it and win football games. I'd think they'd come away from this season with a sense they are heading in the right direction. Mostert and Breida led the league in yards before contact this season, 3.5 and 3.3 yards respectively, according to theringer.com, whoever that is. Regardless, we knew SF had one of the best, if not the best, run blocking lines. That against a Packer front that was not particularly affective against the run. What you would not expect is Mostert, an undrafted player previously cut by 6 teams running for 140 some yards [B][I]before contact[/I][/B] with holes you could drive at least a compact pickup truck through. That is wildly unprecedented against even this less than stout run defense. I think the brain trust would have to be pretty dim to attribute that solely to the talent on the field. I don't think they are that. Clearly the game plan was not right, and then adjustments not made. Either that or the front was uncommonly undisciplined, pinning their ears back on way too many snaps for the pass rush, an alternative coaching issue. Or both. I'd be the last to dispute that a D-Line position and the ILB spots could stand for upgrades. But talent is only half the story, if that. Pettine is getting a pass for this one since it has been announced he's returning. I guess its a case of, "coaches have bad games too." You cannot, however, burn those two SF game tapes. Pettine needs to find solutions, if not to play SF again then the next team that comes down the pike taking lessons from SF's performance. [/QUOTE]
