Panthers helped 49ers beat Saints


Mr. Scot

Well, sort of... :sosp:

Per Michael Silver, the idea for the final play to Vernon Davis came from Niners QB coach - and former Panthers staff member - Geep Chryst.

How did Chryst come up with the idea? By thinking back to his days of facing the Saints while working for the Panthers :D

Pertinent excerpt:

For all the credit that Harbaugh has deservedly received for the Niners’ dramatic turnaround, his assistants have also played a key role. In fact, a conversation early last week between offensive coordinator Greg Roman and quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst lay the foundation for Davis’ dramatic catch. “I’ve got to give our quarterbacks coach a lot of credit,” Roman said Sunday night while taking a break from studying film on the Giants. “He called me into his office and said he had an idea for a red-zone play against them, and he was just so emphatic about it. He previously worked for the Panthers and was very familiar with their defense, and he came up with something he thought would work. And when I saw it, I got excited, too.

And something worth remembering for the future.

The play, “Vernon Post,” is predicated on the theory that the Saints are adept at covering the whole end zone in that situation, rather than leaving the back exposed. “They do a better job than most teams of defending the entire depth,” Roman explained. “Their safeties sit right inside the goal line and are really flat-footed – and if you go vertical on [Harper], he starts to pedal softly backwards. So there’s a hole for the tight end, and it’s got to be thrown with perfect timing and rhythm.”

We should have taken Carlos Rogers last off season.. :sad:

no no no no no! rogers is one of those evil outside free agents!

why in the world would we pay $2.13 million for a pro bowl CB when he's from a -gasp- different team

much better to reward our own guys, like giving $72 million for a DE to get 9 sacks or $43 million for a RB to get 9 carries a game

duh man, JR and hurney know what they're doing!

MUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

As if it wasn't satisfying enough watching the Saints lose while Roman Harper rolled around on the turf like a little b*tch, now we find out our former TE coach drew up the play to expose a specific weakness in the Saints defense that he learned while he was on our payroll.

If this is true then my hat's off to Geep Chryst.

    • Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.  
    • Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market. 
    • I think we look at both.  I wouldn't mind resigning Dalton for a deal.  He would know the offense and there is no pressure to see what we have in him. Then I wouldn't mind finding a low round rookie with potential.
