no. he just takes his "no positivity in the negative thread" job very seriously. he's literally going to beat you to death.

Demi wrote: Yeah, keep that "Cook looked really good" crap in the positives thread. Have the positive police going all LAPD on non-positive posts in the positive thread. So I expect the same courtesy to be shown here by keeping any positive crap out of this thread! No purple glasses allowed! And leave the kool aid at the door.

Vanilla 9ers offense and scrub receivers. And you bring that positive CB play propaganda into this thread? Wow. Clearly an unnecessary troll job. And uncalled for. Can't believe I'm even replying to this. Philosophical farts and high thoughts!!! Random meaningless rant!!!

Rudolph had a ball bounce off his hands.

Gerhart is a scrub. Honestly, put a uniform on me. I'll stumble around on runs as well as him. Bumbling is right! Nice to see him stumble forward for a couple yards, but any big white guy falling forward could do that. Get the young guys in here.

Ponder's play action? Can coaches not work on this or what? He has the worst play action in the entire NFL! "hug the ball...pretend you handed it off" is not play action. The guy who they just moved to receiver has a better play action! Get the ball extended and pretend! 4 years at FSU and now on his third in the NFL and he still doesn't get it?

Short field punts wooow huge upgrade. Literally night and day with Kluwe. Longer field? Oh crap we're in trouble. Especially with this QB and offense. Those rugby punts are great when you're at midfield. But beyond that? oh crap, is Hester still returning punts for Chicago? My spleen just exploded.

Safeties other than Blanton? Boo! Get Blanton in there already. And if you're not drafting a guard draft a safety next year. Man this is ugly.

No depth at linebacker. Starters questionable? Check the backups. Terrible situation. You read about needing quick LBs in the cover 2. This team is a mess. Investing in other positions leaves a pretty big hole at linebacker. Takes time to build a team. And this is a position they're waiting on. It will show. Bishop was a hail mary to try and by time. He could but it's going to be ugly either way.

Need a new offensive coordinator. Musgrave? Pf. Call up Denny. This west coast is a joke. We've seen it since Chili. Through Bevell. And now Musgrave. He leans on a once in a decade way too much. Change it up. Probably will after this season. Frazier holds his own. Especially considering this personnel on defense. After this year going to be crazy with the youth we have across the board.

Average team with some huge talent as some positions, but overall need more than "just do your job average" to get it done. Especially on offense.

Just Me wrote:Negatives - Inconsistent offensive play. The first pass called in last week's game was a great call (play-action on 1st down with AD in the backfield). Everybody though Peterson was going to get the ball and a long pass that should have been an easy completion was overthrown. Yes, I'll grant that was Ponder's first pass, but the offense loses the element of 'surprise' if he has to 'find his groove' befopre he can make that pass work.

I know it's only preseason, but I thought execution on offense was poor in the 2nd game (better in the SF game, but still nothing to write home about). I know it's 'vanilla' (yada-yada-yada) but shouldn't the 'basic' plays be executed even more competently than complex offensive schemes?

The defense - they are good (call the negative police! it's a positive observation ), BUT.... When the offense goes three-and-out repeatedly, they tired quickly against SF and it showed.

Is KWill missing some games? I thought he was OK....
