DeSean's Game - Anomaly or Taste of Things To Come

[kurtfaulk]

does mcvay just pull out the desean card only in big games or will he begin to use him in all games moving forward?

.

 

[ramsplaya16]

Mcvay said he was disappointed in his lack of getting desean involved the first 2 games, my guess is he gets around 50% snaps a game and will continually get big plays drawn up for him

I think the deep threat is a part of his offense.
We have pieces now to better execute it.
Be it Jackson, Jefferson, Kupp or Woods.
Just the threat of it helps open up the running game and helps with the intermediate stuff.
Last year you really saw teams jamming that intermediate zone....S creep closer and closer and LBs drop into that zone.
Even if the passes aren’t completed it’s important to have that element of the offense be a valid threat.
Week to week match ups and defenses will influence it of course but it’s here to stay I think.

I think it was more of a decoy during the last couple of years, until this season. We have a wicked accurate QB who isn't afraid to let the long ball fly. Jackson is going to help good teams go one-dimensional, because they have to match our pace, points wise. If we use Jackson ONLY in this role, I believe he won't get hit as much and hopefully he won't get injured this year.

Run that play at least once every quarter, Garunteed at least 21 points a game.

Jackson was wide open on all three of those deep balls on Sunday. They keep saying the S slipped on that TD catch... Well he did slip but he was already toasted.

I'd bet on at least one deep shot in the first possession or two of just about every game going forward jus to keep the safeties deep.

DeSean got injured in the past when he was asked to do other things like catch short to intermediate passes in the middle of the field. He can be effective with the short - intermediate stuff as long as the play is designed to get to the sidelines or for DeSean himself to get down after the catch a la Isaac Bruce or Torry Holt of the GSOT days. His body is too small to absorb vicious hits without breaking down. However, employing him on screen passes, deep routes or even occasional punt returns would bring out all his strengths (I.e., electric speed & quickest) while minimizing his weakness (being injury-prone due to small frame).

crazy, he should have had 3 tds in that game.

and he made the safety slip with his route running.

Slipped? Haha no. He broke the safety's ankles. He faked inside towards the posts and pivoted towards the sidelines.

Well the niners and Hags are already having issues in the secondary so I say keep throwing deep and see what happens.

 

[OnceARam]

Was he carrying a football or a loaf of bread?

 

[12intheBox]

I think we will see it until it starts getting stopped. And the threat should just open up the middle even more.

Make the D stop it. Make them play deep all the time. More room for the rest of the offense.

Wonderbread...

 

[Jorgeh0605]

yea, play him very little every game. What can it hurt. He should stay around the workload he is currently at. I loved it.

 

[blackbart]

I think it is as McVay said building blocks adding to the offense each week things will change to stay ahead of defenses.

Not a fan of his path to the end zone, just get there, then celebrate.

You said what I was trying to say in a much better way.
I like it!!

mcVay has said similar things In the past. Saying I need to do this or that more and then completely ignore it. I think it will depend on a gameplan. I think Jax will get more playing time but he can't be only used in one faucet because defenses will adjust to when he's on the field. If anything it will dramatically open up the running game. Once we start seeing 6 in the box look for hendo and Michel to carve up the D

 

[Karate61]

Well, hopefully McVay won't forget again, that he has a superstar, super fast, game changing receiver on his squad.

I love DeSean Jackson!

Just saying it is a good thing if you think about it because after Sunday the ears of a lot of defenses heard it
