Will Frank Gore run for more the 150 yards?

[Audible_Red40]

Frank Gore is in BEAST mode at the moment. The 49ers offense totally runs through him right now.

He is averaging 131 yards per game in his last 4 games, and a TD per game on top of that.

Even with defenses putting 8 in the box.

Sando notes that Frank Gore ranks second in the league in facing eight-man fronts. That’s a sign that opponents still don’t respect San Francisco’s passing game much.

Gore is allowing A.Smith to manage the game, and he's doing a fine job of that. He has been so productive that the 49ers can now throw the ball to who ever they feel like. Ask Joe Staley and Isaac Sapoaga what it's like to be inseted into the game plan. When 2, 300+ pounders are catching the ball in the same game, it must be fun for the offense.

ES has such mixed feelings about this team and the result of the upcoming game. But it is obvious we are struggling against the run right now, and Gore is making the 49ers offense effective.

So, you have faith we come to play with a game plan and execute, or is it another long day this coming Sunday?

This is a good thread to discuss the Skins D and why we've continued having no success in stopping the run.

The reason it's relevant is that there has been a lot of discussion about how we've improved the front 7 on D through the draft and FA. However, our problems vs. the run are the same or similar as they were last year. We suck.

Why is this?
No true NT?
Bad ILBs?
Bad scheme?
All of the above?

It's pretty easy, aside of the running quarterbacks, almost EVERY big run has gone between Brian Orakpo and Stephen Bowen. Brian Orakpo is so far up the field on his pass rushing that he loses contain on the run. Fix that and you might have a rush defense worth talking about.


HAIL!

I think it has alot to do with the NT. I don't have much of an issue with the scheme other than, I think Haslett has become a little gun-shy with lack of pressure the past 2-3 games. But overall, Cofield has been getting man-handled, which opens up the middle of the line. I think the only way for us to stop Gore on sunday is to blitz up the middle. At this point we can't rely on Cofield to hold the fort.

I am with you, I have no idea why everyone is jocking Cofield and throwing Carriker and Bowen under the bus.

Add NT to the list of needs this offseason (QB, OL, ILB).

Well, Chris Neild has gotten a lot of push, he's just not utilized as much for whatever reason. He's been a nose tackle for four years and knows how to control a center's body.... let the boy play.

Cofield would add depth to the DE position if we can't resign Carriker.

I'm looking forward to Jenkins playing for us next season. Would love to see Cofield part of the rotation at DE, and NT on some passing downs.

Would love it even more if we got a really big boy like Ngata or Hampton at NT. Not those guys specifically, someone big like them, like Raji.

Very good point about Cofield getting pwned lately, regardless of opposing o-line.

That and the fact that just about every play ran on our defense has lb's and secondary whiffing completely and or pathetic arm tackles during attempts.

[UK_HOG]

The poll should be which quarter he will reach 150 in.

[THEREALTOR1]

No, No he won't. And the Skins will win this Game 28 - 17!

Hail!
