San Francisco 49ers S1 and Post Season.

After a disappointing season, which saw the 49ers have extremely close games, Coach Phillips has assured media and fans that this team is building something special. He said that the offensive coordinator change mid-season was more than likely a great decision as the team moves forward. He said the transition to the "Run and Shoot" is a difficult one as the offense has died off. While most of the core concepts have integrated into many teams' playbooks, not one professional football team has based it's identity on the RNS since the late 90s and very early 2000s. "We traded up, in fact gave a sh** ton up to grab one of the best WR threats available. In fact, when you put on the tape, the guy plays like Larry Fitzgerald. Fitz will be in the HOF one day. If Ellis can play have a successful as he did, no one will care how much we gave up. We spent some picks on our offensive line. Liked that we got some great pass blockers. I feel like we're a few years from contending for super bowls, but I promise the fans we WILL win a super bowl. We will watch Jimmy G become the QB we all think he will be."
During the offseason, the hype around Holmes has picked up. While he hasn't garnered the praise from mainstream outlets, those in the Bay area have raved about his unbelievable catch radius and ability to get up and get the ball. The 2nd round pick Center, has solidified himself in the starting role and the OL looks to gain valuable experience. SF is slated to start three rookies on the OL. To say this team is in rebuild mode, is a Stark understatement. We look forward to watching the team progress.
The players in the locker room have really been optimistic about the upcoming season. Jimmy Garoppolo has looked crisp during OTAs this preseason. From Jimmy, "Our offense is coming along nicely. We have a freak of nature out wide and this offense is fun. We can only get better and better. "

SIM Season review and S3 Preview

After an tumultuous (sim) season, 49ers head coach Josh Phillips is on a hot seat in the Bay. In weeks following the season, the organization has fired it's offensive coordinator. The Run and Shoot just isn't sustainable at the highest level of football. Coach Phillips addressed media members and stated that fan outrage and concerns among higher ups would not allow the system to fully develop. So now the direction has changed gears toward the West Coast offense. Coach says "getting our fullback on the field will be a welcomed sight" to fans and players alike.
After starting the previous year with an unprecedented five rookies on the offensive line, the unit looks to improve with more time to gell together. WR Ellis Holmes is looking to establish himself as a top tier player. Coach Phillips on the Bowman trade, "This trade was beneficial to all parties. Navarro was a great team leader and we will miss his experience. This season, we're gonna put Foster in the middle and right now, we're searching for some contributing linebackers to step up."
The 49ers gave up a ton to draft Holmes last season, and while he was able to have a solid rookie year, was it a smart move on the 9ers organization? Phillips says he does "not regret" the decision , but did state that it probably wasn't the most strategic move. "we will eat it this season and will rebound." The 49ers have added an extra step as they've began implementation of the new offense. Coach Phillips tells fans in closing, "Bill Walsh started the West coast era here in San Francisco, and we're going to play efficient and smart this season. Having our FB on the field should add more pass pro and another option in our running game. I hope to see all of you in the seats this season. Go 49ers!"
