[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 497969"] I guess it's fun to get all wound about over the latest new new thing. But in the end, the game evolves, it doesn't leap, and you need to be prepared to stop all those old boring things, like Gore running behind Staley. After 2011, the spark setting everybody's hair on fire was the need to fix things to beat the Giants, a team that did not make the playoffs in 2012 and that has now dismantled the D-Line that beat us. Building a team with an eye toward defeating one other in particular is a mugs game. You'll end up perpetually chasing your tail. With respect to SF, lets begin at the beginning. We had a terrible game plan. We went man D all day with the idea that we'd make K beat us with his legs, not his arm. When he began beating us with his legs, it became one hot ball of confusion. Capers -2. The execution was stinky as well, but you can expect that when the game plan isn't working...confidence flagged and the ball of confusion got progressively hotter to the point where K was running or throwing as the whim would strike him. A DE who happens to run 4.8 is not going to fix what ailed. A better game plan and better execution might have helped, wouldn't you say? As an aside, Walden and the D-Line took a lot of heat for that mess. But Burnett in particular should have been singled out as well...one of those big K runs that people like to hang on Walden was blown contain by Burnett. Woodson's slow footedness in the back end sure didn't help either. Don't get me wrong. I like the Jones pick...better than the Perry pick anyway. But not because he's some new fangled toy...rather because he's a better pass rusher than the guys we have. I will say this, though...if Jones could drop 10 lbs and move to OLB and Perry could pack on 15 lbs. and move to DE, we might have something special. [/QUOTE]
