Giants' Tom Coughlin Heaps Praise On 49ers

PrintNew York Giants coach Tom Coughlin opened his Wednesday press conference by calling the San Francisco 49ers "a very good football team." Coughlin then proceeded to heap so much praise on the 49ers that it makes you wonder why the Giants are getting on the plane this weekend and heading to Candlestick Park for Sunday afternoon's game.
So, coach what about San Francisco's defense?
"What do you want to talk about? They're number one against the rush. They're number one in the red area. They've done an incredible job of taking the ball away. They have 19 takeaways. They're a plus-12 football team, which is an outstanding stat," Coughlin said. "They're technically very sound. They have outstanding personnel. The two inside backers are really good football players. They're powerful. They're big. Their safeties are very much involved in the run. And they're sound. They're very sound."
The 49er offense?
"Their offensive team has only thrown two interceptions. They rush the ball," Coughlin said. "You know they're going to run the ball and we have to stop the run. We have to try to stop the run. Gore has had five straight games with 100 yards. He's an exceptional rusher as well. And they're skilled at the receiver position. And the tight end is very rare - Vernon Davis - in terms of his speed. His time coming out was like 4.35 for a guy that size. They have good skill, good speed. They have three first-rounders in the offensive line. They're talented."
The special teams?
"They're ranked third in kickoff return. Of course Ted Ginn has a 101-yard kickoff return, a punt return for a touchdown - had a big punt return against Detroit in the fourth quarter which put them in position to win," Coughlin said. "Akers is kicking the ball. He has 22 touchbacks. He's 4-4 over 50 yards. He's done an outstanding job. The punter leads the league in net punting."
So, why is it that the Giants are getting on the plane?
Injury Notes
Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) is the only Giant who did not practice today. Hakeem Nicks (hamstring), David Baas (knee, Osi Umenyiora (knee), Prince Amukamara (foot), Stacy Andrews (back) and Henry Hynoski (neck) all did at least some work.

As a 49ers fan, I love this kind of thing.
Last season, the questions would have been like so …
So what about the 49ers defense?
“Um … er .. great unit … Manusky … #52 … solid player … great player and um … run defense”
49ers offense?
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
The special teams?
“best damn long snapper in the league, I’ll tell you what”

JUST AN OBSERVATION...
I was at the Skins game against the 49ers. Every single time Alex Smith spun his hands (like in a false start signal), the 9ers would run, and ONLY when Smith spun his hands. Not sure why Shannahan didnt catch onto it— all of the fans did.

The beat writer..
for the niners kind of shed some light on that. He said there are 2 plays called in the huddle. If Alex Smith likes what he sees from the defense for the original play then he will do the rolling signal(as in roll with it). I f he wants to go with the 2nd play he will do the kill signal(looks like an incomplete pass signal).
Maybe because their victories are over
Seattle, Cincy, Philly, TB, Detroit, Cleveland, and the Deadskins. Not exactly world-beaters there. I know Detroit and Cincy are good, but I think they’re both a bit overhyped. Also, outside of Cincy, not a really great Defense in the bunch and outside of Detroit, not much Offense. Let’s see what happens when we jam the box and put Smith on his ass a few times.
Cincy, Philly, Tampa, and Detroit are playoff-calibur teams
And don’t forget their only loss came on a ridiculous comeback by Dallas. San Fran is beatable, but it’s not like they sleepwalked through their schedule.

Cincy's won their games
Lost to a good team (Niners) and a not so good team (Broncos) by a combined 7 points. They’re a good team until proven otherwise.
Cincy Tampa and Detroit have not made the playoffs very much at all in the last decade
Before you start stating they are playoff caliber teams lets wait till one of them actually goes a couple years in a row…

umm...
playoff caliber means they have the potential to be a playoff team, not that they’re established playoff teams
Cleveland has a pretty good defense. Top ten in yards/points allowed, top in passing yard allowed, etc. Tampa Bay is a playoff caliber team that was embarrassed, while Detroit was beaten at home in the middle of their tear. The Bengals are atop what is potentially the best division in football and the Philly game was a rather thrilling comeback over a good team.
Not to mention you folks lost to the “deadskins” scraped by against Arizona, also “boast” a win over Philly, lost to Seattle, squeaked by against Miami, and have respectable wins over the Patriots and Bills … who would likely fall under your Cincy/Detroit definition of “a bit overhyped.”
Just sayin … be confident in your team, but don’t hate on beating teams put in front of us :]

fair enough argument
You don’t have to remind me how much we sucked in the SEA and WAS game. It more just that any time a team turns around this much this quick, I have to wonder how much of it is smoke and mirrors that will bite them down the stretch. That being said, Gore is a workhorse, your D, esp at LB is nasty, and you are 7-1. Should be a good test for us both. Too bad none of the Giants are old enough to want revenge for a certain playoff loss about 8 years ago.
Always have enjoyed the Giants and hope you folks win your division, was just pointing out a flaw here or there in the argument!

How do you like Harbaugh?
From the outside looking in, to me, he comes across as a hothead with a short temper and a bit of a complex. Obviously, he inspires his guys to play for him and his X’s and O’s appear sound, if not superior, but does the personality grate on you, or is like the Jets love affair with Rex, he can do no wrong?
I think that’s pretty far off, actually. And it’s not like a thing where Jets fans know Rex Ryan is an absolute douchebag … Harbaugh has never been like that. He’s fiercely competitive and his worse vice is probably the desire to dominate and run up the score, but there hasn’t been any sign of a temper at all. He’s never seemed like a temper kind of guy, hasn’t exploded over anything, never did so in college, and is definitely not a hothead. He’s a very, very intense guy, he’s more like a Mike Tomlin, but he talks more – just that level of intensity.
Is there anything in particular that you think gives off a short temper kind of thing? All I’ve seen is competitiveness and intensity … the only real “event” I can think of is the handshake drama, and that was Jim Schwartz freaking out like a petulant child.
Really, I’m not trying to portray a “he can do no wrong” thing, but I am outright denying any kind of short tempter or hot-headedness. Haven’t seen that at all. But in regards to how we feel about him? We love the competitiveness and the fact that everybody is buying in. So we are too.

Harbaugh's rep got killed by the post Lions game
The national media made him seem like a jerk. Schwartz got smeared too.
He’s clearly a very good coach, but some credit has to go to Singletary, he is the guy that assembled that defensive talent.
I’m curious how long you think Harbaugh can do it like that. Eventually that intensity will burn you out.

Singletary assembled what defensive talent? Singletary can only be credited with turning Vernon Davis around. He was here for about two years and was not in a GM role at all. The guy didn’t even want to draft Patrick Willis when he was the LB coach. Who in the hell did Singletary bring in to do anything? That makes zero sense at all, the guy was absolutely useless. Defensive players even commented that, under Singletary, they didn’t even talk about specific players on other teams pre-game. There were no gameplans. NO credit goes to Singletary for the defensive side of the ball.
And Harbaugh wasn’t the one chasing another coach trying to swing on him. Schwartz got his feelings hurt by a guy shaking his hand too roughly. As for intensity burning you out … Harbaugh has been like that his whole career. Tomlin is an intense coach, he’s been doing well. There’s no reason to think about possibly burning out when what he’s doing it working.

Seriously that is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever read. Is there REALLY some kind of perception that Singletary did anything positive for this team other than giving Vernon Davis a reality check? He was potentially the worst head coach in 49ers history. It was 100% amateur hour.
But again – the initial point was about Harbaugh hotheadedness and a short temper. How does Jim Schwartz flipping out with Harbaugh walking away invite that image?

You seem bitter about Mike
My perception is that every NFL head coach has input into the draft, the level of input varying with their length of tenure and the teams philosophy. I haven’t any idea what the Niners philosophy is, but just assumed that he was somewhere in that normal range of head coach involvement. And that Singletary wasn’t simply a figurehead.
You may want to consider that Singletary may have been a horrendous coach (which seems to be your issue) but was a good judge of talent. Wouldn’t be the first time. An old Giant Coach John McVay was a terrible coach (he’s the guy who sent out our punter on 3rd down, cause he figured it would stop the offense from turning the ball over) but he was a pretty fair personnel guy for the Niners.
But more to the point, which guys that are starting for you were brought in by Harbaugh. That would be far more illuminating.

It’s simply not true. There’s no bitterness, this is all factual. Mike Singletary was a terrible head coach but an amazing motivator. He had little to no X’s and O’s knowledge and your bit about “was a good judge of talent” is also pretty wrong. He let go of good players while keeping guys like Tramaine Brock on the roster for no reason. He insisted on players he liked attitude-wise over better players, like Rachal over Snyder.
Your last two sentences are confusing. Where did I ever say that Harbaugh excelled in bringing in talent? Trent Baalke, Scot McCloughan and Jed York brought talent to this team. Mike Singletary was in charge for, really, only one season.

Agree with James bout Singletary
He was a great motivator but a disaster as HC. He believed that quarterbacks were not really important for team success. No joke, he said that! He did not want Patrick Willis and campaigned for Taylor Mays. James Brady is really speaking for all of us at Niners Nation about our feelings for Singletary. His only good trait was as a motivator, thats it. Terrible IQ in terms of X’s and O’s and no scouting of opponents to play to our strengths. Never took advantage of mismatches and let good players like Delanie Walker go criminally unused. We don’t hate him but those in the know understand how much he greatly fumbled his opportunity as HC.
Also more or less agree
Singletary was in way over his head as HC… that said, your original comment was somewhat on point in that Mike Nolan, who coached the team before Singletary, as well as former GM Scott McCloughan do deserve some credit for putting a lot of the right pieces in place during their tenure. Indeed, Nolan took over a team in 2005 that was literally no better than an expansion team. A roster practically devoid of talent (I kid you not— Julian Peterson was the closest thing to an “impact player” that team had).
Singletary, on the other hand, inherited most of the key cogs currently on the 49ers roster. And the simple fact is that the team underachieved with him in command.

well, the Schwartz thing was definitely part of it
I’m also thinking back to his playing days and him and Ditka having screaming matches on the sideline and stuff like that. As I said, that’s my opinion as a distant outsider looking in, that’s not to say he is that way, that’s the it appears to me. And I’m sure a lot of that is the media overblowing things like the Schwartz incident like trueblue is saying. It could just be me too, those ridiculously overcompetitive people in general come off as assholes to me, so that’s part of the perception too.
I can definitely see that. So long at the overcompetitiveness isn’t confused with hotheadedness or a short temper, two things that definitely don’t personify Harbaugh as a coach. But if you think he’s an asshole, I just hope it’s for the right reasons

I can’t stand the guy either, but I do admire what he has built. Yes he opens his mouth far to much, but now people have a reaction to the Jets love them or hate them. Before Rex got here, the Jet’s were well vanilla. They have never had a dominate offense or Defense that I can recall (maybe the early 80’s) Rex gave them an identity, that franchise needed that more than anything

Like with your points above about Singletary, you may overestimate how much detailed info makes it to us out east, excepting those who have ties or rooting interests in the Bay Area and seek it out. I think we probably only see the stuff that makes nationwide interest like an unfortunate handshake and backslap or a guy dropping his pants in the locker room, so we miss a lot of the little things. That’s why I ask. I’m fine with being wrong when I am.
As far as Singletary goes, it’s probably because his firing was rather quiet. Everybody heard his grand speeches and his “I want winners,” not so many people heard the 49ers fire him before the season ended and another coach took over to get them the last win of the season with other players new to the NFL remarking “so that’s what a real gameplan is like”!

Interesting...
But not shocking. Singletary gets the sympathetic vote because he was a main part of that Bears defense way back when. But that doesnt automatically make him a genius with X’s and O’s. It’s almost like if the Giants hired Lawrence Taylor as a defensive coordinator
by DizzyMillenium on Nov 9, 2011 3:18 PM EST up reply actions
My money line on the matter was that Mike Singletary dedicated his life to God, his family, and being one of the best linebackers in NFL history. Mike Singletary did not dedicate his life to God, his family, and being one of the best coaches in NFL history. He had little to no X’s and O’s experience when he took over, and it showed. He got by for a short while on intensity.
Harbaugh, on the other hand, comes from a football family and shares the same intensity as Mike Singletary, but has extreme X’s and O’s knowledge.

There is something people need to realize when it comes to the whole Harbaugh/Schwartz thing, and how it relates to Harbaughs overall personality.
That was all personal from way before that game was ever played.
Schwartz had dinner with the Harbaugh brothers in the middle of the summer before any season stuff had started. Schwartz (in a rather condescending manner) basically told Harbaugh that he was way over his head and would get his ass kicked if he took on a team as a rookie head coach with not preseason. Jim obviously took this as a point of contention.
Then gameday came. Schwartz called the niners “scared” because they deferred the kick and chose to receive in the 2nd half.
THEN the whole Harbaugh throwing the challenge (which ended up being brilliant mind you in that it saved a timeout)

continued...
At which time Schwartz yelled “LEARN THE RULES HARBAUGH!!!” Across the field at jim…
SO… basically, after Harbaugh finished taking out this pantywaist in his own house and handing him his first loss of the season he went over and basically treated him like the b**** he is. You want to be treated like a man you have to act like one, and Schwartz unfortunately doesn’t fit this category.
Other than that Harbaugh has been nothing but respectful to opposing coaches this year…

but here are some links to help substantiate my claims.

as far as the “know the rules Harbaugh” and “the niners deferred on the kick because they were scared” stuff.. both were on national tv during the game? one being completely obvious because it was in an interview…
the other one more discreet… but obvious enough that the in game announcers were commenting directly about it. I think what they said exactly was something like..
“well Schwartz is offering up some words of advice for Jim Harbaugh down on the sidelines”.. at which point they showed a slow mo re-enactment of the whole deal.
anyway, you get the point.
That sheds a whole new light on the situation for me.
I viewed Harbaughs actions as disrespectful as hell, but considering all that has led up to it, I have done a 180 on this.

Both teams have had huge wins over each other since the 1980s. I cherish the memory of living in the Bay Area when Montana was knocked senseless and the Giants went on to win the SB over Buffalo. I wore my Giants sweats for weeks afterward and somehow didn’t get mugged—it’s California, too laid back. On the other hand, my SF friends were on the phone instantly when the Giants collapsed in that playoff game about ten years ago. May a new rivalry return.

SF has an elite defense and a great running game so let’s just focus on stopping the run and getting to the QB, the rest should take care of itself.

has only raced two good offenses, Cowgirls and Eggs. In both those game they allowed more than 400 yards passing. The Eagles torched them for more than 500 yards of offense.
Four offenses they faced are 21st or worse in offense.
Yards doesn't = points.
The 49ers give up yards, but they don’t give up points. Similar to how they do not gain a ton of yards, but they can put up points. It’s called efficiency, and the 49ers are the best in the league.

Preparation
Obviously, TC is letting the media know that the Giants are taking the 49ers seriously. And they should. This is a team that is playing the game the way it’s meant to be played. They have been controlling the LOS on both sides of the ball. Frank Gore has been a beast, even though playing through injury.
Here’s my biggest concern about this game: We have to stop the run, we know that, but it cannot be at the expense of our pass D. In addition to preparing for Gore, we need to prepare for Alex Smith. I know that sounds like a joke, but this is the same defense that made Rex Grossman and Charlie Whitehurst look like All-pro QBs.

I think the Philly writer who said,
“he would ride a bike all the way from Philly to SF if the Eagles lose to the 49ers,” is still making his way here since we haven’t heard from him yet. Or he probably most likely squirmed out of his claim and is making up more excuses like all the other Philly peeps :)

ESPN is a joke
Their columnists were saying last week that the GMen will inevitably collapse and that the Eagles would still win the division. This week it’s all about “ELITE Manning and the Giants” in the same conversation with Rodgers and the Pack. 49ers are going to be a real test, but I think we match up pretty well- IF the D line contains and doesn’t overpursue (hear me, Osi? Justin??) and Gore is held to 100 yards or less. And I’ll put our offense right now against just about any secondary- Ballard and Cruz have become solid, pretty much indispensable. But BENCH Ware and give Da’Rel Scott the ball a few times! He may have the speed coming out of the backfield they’ve been looking for.

The point is that the guy cites the division when the 49ers have only played one game against it and won through half of the season.
Analysis for this game depends on only one thing: the games that have been played this far. Not the five games San Francisco will play against the NFC West AFTER this point. And the one team that the 49ers have played in the NFC West beat the Giants, who also barely scraped by the Cardinals, who reside in the NFC West. I mean – you’ve played more games against our division than we have.

Our turnaround is very misleading, but again, you still cite the division that doesn’t matter because we haven’t played them yet. We beat CIN, who are first in the best division in football, we had a big comeback win over PHI, we embarrassed the Tampa Bay and Detroit is within striking distance of the undefeated Packers, and were 5-0 when we beat them.
You have played our division, and also the Miami Dolphins, and the Redskins and Philadelphia, who are common opponents to us. So why say “don’t act like your schedule looks anything like ours.” Your hardest game was New England, who have a worse record than two of the teams we beat. Our third place schedule that has been played thus far includes much tougher teams than you’ve played PLUS you guys played our division already and LOST. This is the most ass-backwards argument I’ve ever heard in my life and I came here for good-natured discussion.

I can’t agree totally with that. The Lions and Patriots are comparable this year with how AWFUL the Patriot defense is. What I’ve been trying to say from the beginning is that both teams have a couple quality wins and are beating, for the most part, the teams put in front of us. It’s the folks here that keep bringing up the NFCW, where I have to intervene and note your struggles and the fact that we haven’t even played ’em yet.

Lions and Pat's are not on the same level James
Not that beating one or the other really matters about what’s going happen on Sunday. However, yes the Pat’s D statiscally stinks, so does Green Bay’s but when you play those teams, there Defense is better than advertised and can stop you. But the major diffrence is the QB position. Stafford is good but he can’t touch Tom Brady it’s not even close. Tom Brady no D stops Tom Brady and he is going to put up points on you , it ’s up to your Offense to step up and keep up with him.

all this schedule stuff is crap
every game is about matchups, game planning and execution.
There’s some rock-paper-scissors in this league. Matchups matter.
As for Giants-Seahawks, if Cruz doesn’t slip inside the 5 with a minute left, he catches that timing slant instead of batting up up for a pick 6 the other way downfield.
Then the Giants likely score a TD to take the lead withabout a minute left, needing just a stop to win. Instead, they’re down 10 pts with under a minute left.
Doesn’t matter. The Giants lost, because they had the matchup and a decent game plan (even though the defense post injuries was still coming together), but they did not get the execution when it counted. It’s still a loss.
These teams match up well and have to prove they can neutralize each other’s offensive strengths. The Giants have to prove they can contain Gore. The (ers have to prove they can cover 4 simultaneous big play receving threats from a QB who torches the blitz and is playing as the #3 passer in the NFL.
Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me

Alex Smith will throw the ball 25 times Sunday. 13-17 will be 3 step drops. Most of those passes will be 10 yards or closer. If he completes 15 passes the Giants will lose.
West Coast offense guys. In a true West Coast Offense, the QB is a game manager. A conservative Point Guard that keeps the offense moving.
The Giants are going to need to play very aggressive in the secondary, jumping short routs. And don’t miss the first tackle.

I loved the Robbins / Cofield duo as much as anyone, and I remember they won it all. But I’ll take Canty, Bernard, Joseph, and Austin gladly!

We Must Start Fast
Instead of our usual bumbling in the 1st half. Get a quick lead and make them have to play catch up. Dont think they can.
DavebrownNOT
does it matter?
its obvious the Giants are a 2nd half team this season. If they bumble their way through the first half yet the game is still within a TD, that seems like a recipe for success. Only thing that matters is who has more points after the fat biatch sings
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows

But not sure how many more of these last minute dramas I can take. I also think there must be some reason for our poor offensive play in 1st halves of games. I suspect b/c too much respect shown to opposition by KG.

We win this game, that has always been the problem look at the A.Ross fumble, we had the Pats 3 and out back to back series they were ready to crack and he fumbles.
I would force them to pass
It would be Canty at one end, Tuck playing RE, Linval and The Rock in the middle and my LBEEZ would be Kiwi, Osi and JPP….lets see Gore run against that!!

I'm not sold on Alex Smith
Looking at those passing numbers he is looking to dump that ball quick and early. I would NASCAR his ass the first few series and see how he responds. I bet he folds like a tent.
Actually this couldn’t be further from the truth, Alex Smith has a QB rating of 128 this season when the opposing team rushes 5 or more. Giants best bet will be to rush with 4 like the 49ers do. The G-Men are one of the few teams this year that have the talent to have a shot at doing this effectively. It will be interesting to watch, and a hard fought game.
Go niners!

Exactly
AleX will throw the ball 22-25 times. Niners win if he completes 15 of them.
NASCAR
is a four man front the Giants use of Osi, JPP, Tuck, and Kiwanuka. It doesn’t mean blitzing, it means putting 4 DE’s on the Dline to try and create speed mismatches.
Sorry if you already knew this but your response seemed to suggest you thought NYG86 90 07 was talking about blitzing.

The guy the Giants really need to worry about is Delanie Walker, and here’s why.. Vernon is almost always double or triple covered by the defense (and if they single cover, believe me Smith will go right at them for doing so) that leaves Braylon and Crabtree who may not exactly be Megatron’s, but still demand respect from the defense. What this usually creates is Walker who is 6’4 /250# and runs a 4.5 40 being covered by a linebacker. The two tight ends sets for the Niners have been giving teams fits this year.

The 49er LBs are pretty darn good
That is a unit of strength. It will be interesting to see if the Giants can execute the short passing game and run on that unit effectively. I hope Gilbride can employ his years of experience and befuddle the youth (via plays) that occupies the OLB positions of the 49ers.
Persistence is Omnipotent.
Bowman is indeed a beast.
Glad people are noticing. Some analysts have said it’s hard to tell if it was Willis or Bowman making a huge play, at times. Some have said Willis and Bowman are the two best inside linebackers in the league, not just the best group. With Bowman’s present play, I’m inclined to agree.

Rolle's role
Curious to see how the Giants secondary will play this week; making sure that Rolle can be active in run support could be key to limiting Gore.
Anyone know if Prince will see any playing time this week?
Prince should play but since its not a heavy passing attack
they may decide to give him another week just for good measure.
You can bet your bottom dollar Rolle returns to the role he had last year as a super strong safety.

Stop the run, but --
I’ve seen it happen before. We prep to stop a team’s strengths then they go out and have success with what we thought was their weakness. Don’t be surprised if they surprise the Giants and lean on Smith and he has success. Then again, I’m hoping Fewell and his minions are prepared for that if it occurs.
PF
the last coouple of games, he’s had pretty good schemes drawn up. I think he’s in a groove right now & with us getting some guys healthy, that just allows him to be more creative.

our biigest problem in the 2nd half last week was poor tackling. Thats probably been the biggest detriment to this defense this year. If we wrap Gore up & bring him to the ground, we should be able to manage him. If we start whiffing, we’ll be in BIG trouble

Everyone knows stopping the run in job #1 this week, but if we are able to control down-and-distance and get them in some third-and-longs, I think Davis will be the one to watch in those situations.
Vernon is their #1 receiver in both catches and yards, and I like our chances in the battle between CWeb vs. Crabtree. Their other receivers, Edwards included, don’t strike fear.

I thought that this game was going to be a GPS game. Unfortunately it is not. This game will be won by the 49ers 24-17. The teams that give the 49ers trouble have speed backs. Bradshaw is not 100%. The teams that give us troubles have elite wide receivers. Amani Toomer is not on the Giants anymore.
It comes down to strengths and who is the home team. SF’s strength is the running game and scheme formations. The Giants are not good at stopping the run this year. Plus they are facing a time change and traveling. JMHO.

Gore is gonna get his yards. We just need to hold them to FGs. I’m slightly worried about covering their TE’s in the RZ though. Rolle, Boley, and Kiwi could be in for a long day. Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker are a scary combo over the middle.

Have to win TOP. Control the ball, convert 3rd downs and take their pass rush out of game.
Get ahead early. Force the 9ers to throw to stay competitive.
Do something on ST. Block a punt or get a long return.
Eli needs a high completion % from short to medium passing. Take a couple pokes down field on 1st down…
I got a GIF for that!
Basically same gameplan as NE Patriots
except instead of forcing them to run, force them to throw…

That's it right there..make them throw..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Yeah this is the kinda game we air it out blow them away with big long passes..
Cruz..MM..Barden..Ballard..and Nicks if he can play…Bomb the shit out of them..and when they tackle our guys..they need to blow out farts…

The problem is the bomb is a low percentage throw
We cant be in 3rd and long too many times because their D is too good. Need a bunch of 3rd and two’s so we can run the heavy package up the gut and exhaust the Dline. We will own the 4th Quarter.

They should most certainly respect the talent level they bring.

Aldon Smith is a JPP clone. I've seen JPP in person, and if he came at me
I would probably run a 4.2 40 out of there.

Screw them..Eli will pick them apart..they won't even get to him..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Hence the need for quick short to medium throws.
Out in the flat, bubble screens and the TE up the middle.

Niners are 1st in run defense
Not sure we’ll be able to run all over them in the 4th.
Fields, on the follow!
You can run on anyone if they are sucking air
Need BJ to beat the shit out of them in short yardage situations and have the LB’s chasing the TEs all over the field. Screens and sweeps in the first 3 quarters will pay dividends in the 4th.

Play Giants Football.
Dumb as it sounds, that’s what we gotta do.
The Niners have only thrown two picks because Harbaugh is smart enough not to let Alex throw very much. (Paging 1986-version Bill Parcells…)
Frank Gore has lost two steps and is held together with duct tape and old Will Clark chewing tobacco from 1989. But he just. Keeps. Coming. (So, we should probably tackle him a lot.)
The defense isn’t really that good…except someone forgot to tell them that. And now they think they are good. Which means they’re playing well. (We should try to convince them otherwise by running away from #52.)
The Smith Twins’ Playbook: See Quarterback. Hit Quarterback. (We would be well-advised to gameplan for this.)
So – run the ball ,(AWAY FROM PATRICK WILLIS,) don’t turn it over, and stop Frank Gore. All tall orders, but on the bright side, it’s Tom Coughlin’s idea of Coaching Heaven.

These 49ers fans sound like the AZ Cardinals fans
cocky with some recent success before they fade away

Not with that defense
At least I dont think so. This game can easily be won by both teams though. I do not know why some people are acting like their team coming out on top is a such a sure thing though.

I think they have a reason to be cocky
unless they have an epic collapse they are making the playoffs, and they have a team with heart.

but i do not see reason to be cocky. There is no room for cockiness and arrogance . We get enough of that from Eagles fans

Harbaugh baby...
Harbaugh and his staff are doing the best job coaching in the entire league this year. Have you ever seen a college coach come in with a new system which requires Alex Smith to run it and they started the season 7-1? 8-1 after we beat you guys lol.

I saw a college coach come and start as head coach of an NFL expansion team and lead them to playoffs.
That would be Coghlin and Jaguars. He led the the expansion team to Conference championship game in their 2nd season.

So you are denying that Coughlin was HC of an expansion team and led them to Conference championship game in 2nd season?

I think he's confusing TC in Jax with Seifert in Carolina

Actually Seifert joined Panthers later
Dom Capers was the innaugral coach for the Panthers while TC was for the Jags.

Yeah I know
But I think it was Seifert and Collins that went to that NFC championship game?

Seifert came to coach the Panthers after Don Capers left. Capers was the innaugral coach for that team. TC was innaugral coach for a different team (Jaguars)

all Harbaugh has done is finally win with a team that has been built by a ton of early first round draft picks thanks to their numerous years of mediocrity. He did not build this team just like you pointed out that TC did not build the Jaguars. It works both ways.

To add to what you said
Harbaugh inherited a team that was motivated and put in the right direction by the previous coach and did not have to build it ground up like TC did at Jags.

On the contrary...
Though I think the niners are capable of winning this game, and though I think the niners are “for real”….
I think this game is going to be a knock down drag out fist fight going down to the final seconds with a possible first round bye and or homefield advantage in at least 1 playoff game on the line.
Best of luck G men, should be a good one :)

toms playing with their west coast ego
T.C, said these things knowing that it will creep in their minds out there in Cali.
and they will rely on who they think they are to play the game and not give forth a championship effort
TC does that every week
He edifies the opponent and points out all their strengths to get into their heads and it also helps him prep his own team against the opponent. Then he goes and beats the opponent in their own game.

Whats so Funny about this thread...
Is that the 49ers have actually become what the NY Giants WERE and what so many pundits and nitwits in the media keep saying Tom Coughlins teams ARE….
Tom Coughlins Giants are a FINESSE THROWING TEAM. We are NOT the Bill Parcells smashmouth, ball control team the media makes us out to be.
I laugh every time the pundits blabber “this is just not typical for a Tom Coughlin team”. Whatever. Alot of people have forgotten that this teams personality has changed.
