You guys remembered when Jim Harbaugh complained to the NFL to clarify the hits on "running QBs" in the read option? I remember lots of people on this board and even Pete thought Jim Harbaugh was being "too protective of CK7". Well, this might come back to bite us.
Our biggest problem is that our Offensive line is very porous. If Brady was playing behind this offensive line, some of these linemen would have been released already. They are simply atrocious. St Louis showed how wreck havock in our backfield. 5, 6 guys and we don't know how to pick them up or we consistently get pushed back.
Furthermore, our offense completely lacks "imagination". Few screens, few draws, we don't move the pocket enough one way or the other. Russell can throw well moving right or moving left. Very little bootlegs . Our offense is almost too predictable.
We are 8-1, but we have been very poor on offense lately. Very poor.
