You can tell they are adding things on defense when Harrison is off. I noticed that in training camp. I also noticed him talking things through with Coach Zimmer more both during the game and in camp. Smith is a smart, hard working guy so I do believe he will figure it out. There were a lot more huddles with Zimmer and Edwards last night. I have to wonder if there is still some adjustment to him not calling plays. Of course BRob in the sidelines hurts too. Barr and Kendricks kept rotating and there was a lot of pointing to each other in order to be sure of who was covering who.

The Vikings' argument is likely that the 49ers are a bad team full of guys like Hoyer trying to prove themselves and win jobs.

But that means the Vikings are relaxing because they consider themselves a good team, or the starters think they are established. They better realize they are not either of those.

BRob on the sidelines shouldnt be much of an excuse when the team has basically handed the starting LDE job to Hunter this year.

It's a factor. It's leadership. And that's where Hunter went after each play. He would talk to BRob. It was also weird seeing Chad Greenway on the sidelines in street clothes with his family.

yes he went to him, but its Hunters job now... its not like BRob being sidelined was going to change how Hunter played. I dont see them back tracking on Hunters playing time unless he really shits the bed or is unable to go.

I dont know why he is always playing off coverage... and by off I mean can he even see the fucker he is guarding because he is that far off the LOS. ( i hope this is part of the scheme that they are playing with and not a lack of confidence by him. his lack of anything close to a press is what makes those slants so easy to complete. The hunter thing is just plain not ready for that speed, but the garcon shit really was pissing me off.

Right? And the talent that Waynes has is his makeup speed. That's one of the things he was known for. If you have a guy with makeup speed, then get him up closer on the line... Because if he develops a talent for jamming at the line then you have a guy that can be the complete package..... Also teach him to get his damn head around. He could have been flagged a couple times last night for that.

would like to think this is a rookie head coach teaching his team the offense with lots of wrinkles versus a defense that didn't watch film of the team and bit on some of those gadget plays. But I am concerned.

Lets look to the positive. Kearse is a beast at 6-5. Hope he keeps progressing. Easton and Elflien looked good together again. McKinnon had a great KR. Koehn had a 58 yard FG.
