Subject: Eye Candy... Author: TANK [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:29:44 12/24/02 Tue I think there is a new generation of football fans out there. They are the ones who learned football from ESPN highlights and Sony Play Station 2. They are easily bored and need visual sensory stimulation. TIM, Peter King, THENINES, Sean, Core and Tim all alluded to this visceral need. I am old school. If Mariucci wins the Super Bowl with this 49ers team, he is beyond reproach. If he can't get his team past the wild card playoff game, I will be disappointed. If you honestly look at the 49ers talent and compare it to Green Bay, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay, I would say we don't measure up on the lines. I am not inclined to rail on Pat Morris and Dwain Board about their coaching. I think they are doing the best they can do given injuries, lack of attention by the front office, etc. TIM: I made a point to argue that the 49ers lacked talent at critical positions: nickel back, LDE, #2WR and, for a large part of the season, TE. Just for fun, agree with me that the last two positions, #2WR and TE, are critical to executing the WCO. Now, honestly assess what Mariucci has had to "work with," and compare it to what your favorite WCO coaches have at #2WR, TE and even #3WR. Mariucci is driving an offense with limited steering through an NFL obstacle coarse that has has 20 years to perfect a defense against the WCO. If the two defensive positions (LDE and #3CB) had been addressed more adequately in the offseason, I think this team would be 13-3, maybe 14-2. The problem is, we all knew of these glaring defensive weaknesses last January and they weren't adequately addressed. Take Shaun King off my Christmas wish list. I love Kendrell Bell. Is there anyway we can trade Derek Smith for him? Tommy Maddox really surprised me. Peter King makes an excellent point about the FG kicking situation. The 49ers would be 11-5, maybe 12-4 this season with a good, veteran kicker. Too bad the front office ignores that reality. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy & Healthy New Year!
