There's gotta be a John Wick twist/reference in there somewhere?
Guess I’m just higher on him than most. Of course, it’s all about proving oneself.In 20 plus years I've seen so many posts of this nature. Everybody wants to be the one to trademark a nickname. It's cool, I get it. Usually falls into 3rd coast, south coast, dirty coast something or other. Truth is, there's never been anything superior or unique about our offenses or defenses.
When there is, I think someone will get the inspiration to pick the just right name. We're hoping to be average or better this year. Nobody gets a name for that. Dynasties and all time great outliers get names.
Hope I'm around long enough to see that.
Just saying, the last "passing game" coordinator we promoted past his station was a big flop

Bobby YagaThere's gotta be a John Wick twist/reference in there somewhere?
Can you post these reports? ThanksReports from OTAs say that the players are more animated. And are moving from station to station quickly. Bobby is also mixing up 1s and 2s during practice. In an effort to keep everyone on track and improving. Example: Mills running 5 plays and rotation to CJ that you don't notice on that 6th snap unless you are looking at numbers. "Experts" think this is great and a good way for now to not label anyone as a starter just yet. That will come in TC I am inclined to believe
If Slowik is even a little bit successful this season he rockets up to the top of the list of 2024 HC candidates.I honestly don't know why but I trust that Slowik is going to quickly become the man with the plan. Might be blind faith, might be the "Ryans Effect" where I'm still on my honeymoon with Demeco and if he says the grass is purple, I'm down with it.
I don't know - it's a feeling is all I can say. I might be 100% wrong, and even in a best case, there will be some growing pains just like a rookie player, but I just have this feeling that this offense will do well under Bobby, especially by 2024.
Look at the 610am recording from yesterday. I think it was about 800 to 9am on my way to work. I think 610 also has pretty much every thing said on air on a podcast. But, unsure of the podcast name.Can you post these reports? Thanks
You should use the word rumors instead of reports if you are getting it from 610Look at the 610am recording from yesterday. I think it was about 800 to 9am on my way to work. I think 610 also has pretty much every thing said on air on a podcast. But, unsure of the podcast name.
What treatment would Slowick get if Stroud succeeds? A HC'ing opportunity?I hate that Slowik will get the BOB treatment if Stroud fails.

Don't worry.I hate that Slowik will get the BOB treatment if Stroud fails.
He’s our next HC/GM?!The BOB treatment
Like I said, litle Shanahan might not care for the WCO as the scheme had evolved from the days of Bill Walsh, but it wasn't like his dad or Kubiak had come up with something entirely novel.Kyle Shanahan does not run the freaking West Coast Offense.
Don’t take it from me — take it from Shanahan himself. He educated a local reporter about a year ago. The reporter had requested a one-on-one interview with Shanahan, who rarely grants one on ones with locals. Before turning down this poor reporter, Shanahan asked what the topic of the interview would be.
The reporter said it was simple. He wanted to write a story praising Shanahan for connecting the 49ers to their roots by bringing back the West Coast Offense. They hadn’t used it in decades despite popularizing it during the 1980s under head coach Bill Walsh, the inventor of the scheme. This reporter saw Shanahan as a disciple of Walsh.
“I don’t run the freaking West Coast Offense,” Shanahan explained, except he didn’t use the word, “freaking.” He used a different word we can’t print.
Shanahan could have been more diplomatic, but he didn’t lie. He corrected the biggest misconception about him and the current 49ers offense.

Defining Kyle Shanahan's offense
The 49ers' head coach runs a system not based on Bill Walsh, but on another former NFL coach.49ers.pressdemocrat.com
Well if DeMeco and his OC are proponents of the WCO, looks like they learned about it someplace besides on their last job
in San Fran working for Kyle Shanahan.
cue the “Slowick” jokes.
What if that light ahead is a train?You guys are better than that. Of course we all remember the multiple of horrors on Kirby. Time to move on, see the light, head for the wick burning![]()
If Stroud "fails" this season it will be because the offensive scheme was poor.I hate that Slowik will get the BOB treatment if Stroud fails.
LmaoIf Stroud "fails" this season it will be because the offensive scheme was poor.
Would suggest you run straight towards itWhat if that light ahead is a train?
Nah. Just a typical Texan fan with his torch and pitchfork.What if that light ahead is a train?
Or it could be that Stroud is not an NFL QB. Ryan Day's offense and game plans protected Stroud. Day's words not mine. The first thing we are going to find out is did Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison, and Emeka Egbuka make Stroud.If Stroud "fails" this season it will be because the offensive scheme was poor.

Of course. What team doesn't protect their team's star quarterback?Ryan Day's offense and game plans protected Stroud.
Nope. Ryan Day was the coach of both.For those of us who don't know, was theor a different coach for Justin Fields & Cj Stroud?
In many regards, this is a brand-new offense. New OC, new rookie QB, new receivers, new tight end. Dameon Pierce returns from injury. It's Slowik's job to figure out what they're good at and develop an offensive identity. It's the players' job to execute their assignments. I'm obviously confident in CJ's ability. If the offensive scheme is solid then CJ will perform well.Lmao
Was wondering how long it would take before I would read this post.
No excuses
The question is, is CJ just another bust QB that Day has produced.In many regards, this is a brand-new offense. New OC, new rookie QB, new receivers, new tight end. Dameon Pierce returns from injury.

The good news is that the Houston secondary is giving CJ a lot of good lessons in practice. Hopefully, the best secondary CJ will see is the one he faces in practice.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Stroud, but with any rookie QB it's a 50/50 chance of them being a franchise QB. I hope he comes in, plays lights out and is the face of the franchise for the next 15 years.Nope. Ryan Day was the coach of both.
There's no question that CJ was surrounded by great talent. Excellent receivers ran good routes, the OL protected Stroud, and Stroud successfully executed the throws. Stroud was so successful that the Texans smartly drafted him.
He will be a hot topic for a HC position IF he does well in year 1. Mainly just rumors of him becoming someone who very well could be a HC soon. If he does it again in year 2, he goes from mention of a HC to candidate. Probably won't get a job as HC till after year 3.What treatment would Slowick get if Stroud succeeds? A HC'ing opportunity?
As far as his ability to read a D, his prototype size, good arm strength to make any throw, his ability to check his reads and his accuracy. Stroud is the one who made that happen. Was he coached, sure, but he just has the tools and the staff honed it.Or it could be that Stroud is not an NFL QB. Ryan Day's offense and game plans protected Stroud. Day's words not mine. The first thing we are going to find out is did Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison, and Emeka Egbuka make Stroud.
Stoud was kind of one trick pony, mainly because of Day's design. Plays were designed to give Stroud one read and a check down. When the primary WR was covered is when Stroud would hold the ball too long and when his panic could set in. Stroud was often throwing to a BIG picture window. How will Stroud do when that BIG window becomes a miniature one?The question is, is CJ just another bust QB that Day has produced.
Great observation about the secondary. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does against the Saints/Dolphins secondaries in the scrimmages.
I admit I am concerned. Justin Fields was considered an accurate passer, I even read one scouting report saying he's got good touch & layered passing.Stoud was kind of one trick pony, mainly because of Day's design.

Hopefully Stroud will be in a better system than Fields started in. Coaching mattersI admit I am concerned. Justin Fields was considered an accurate passer, I even read one scouting report saying he's got good touch & layered passing.
Watching the highlights, he made some good tight window throws.
The only real difference in passing between his scouting reports & Stroud's is that they say Stroud has good field vision.
So yeah, I'm concerned how Stroud's passing game translates.
Wish posters could keep this in mind when critiquing Mills.Hopefully Stroud will be in a better system than Fields started in. Coaching matters
You're concerned about Stroud because of a Justin Fields scouting report? How did you get there?So yeah, I'm concerned how Stroud's passing game translates.
I’d say Fields has been given the weapons to make a significant jump this year. Given what he had to work with last season, he showed encouraging signs of growth.You're concerned about Stroud because of a Justin Fields scouting report? How did you get there?
Here's a stat I found interesting about Justin Fields. He was 2nd in the league among starting QBs in intended air yards per pass attempt (9.1 yds/pass). Only Tua, with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, was higher at 9.5 yds/pass. Why was Fields trying to throw down the field all the time? It's not like he was connecting at a high rate. Was that the play designs or just Fields' decisions? I don't see that happening with Stroud in the Slowik offense.I’d say Fields has been given the weapons to make a significant jump this year. Given what he had to work with last season, he showed encouraging signs of growth.
He’ll need to become a 65% passer this season to go with his threat as a rusher. But the talent around him is sufficient to make the jump now.
