Is he (B. Edwards) happy with his role? I can't believe that any wide receiver or tight end is thrilled with the lack of action in the passing game. But players such as Edwards and Vernon Davis have expressed pleasure with the team's 7-1 record.
I asked Edwards about the personnel groupings in Sunday's game. He said he would like to see more consistency with how players are used. During the game Sunday, there were about five players after every play taking steps onto the field waiting to hear which personnel package would be used on the next play.
Perhaps, the 49ers' offense hasn't found a good rhythm because they're cycling too many players onto the field on a play-to-play basis.

interesting point, hadn't thought of it being a problem. Hope its something they can work out. Harbaugh seems to have good communication with his players, so maybe they'll discuss this.

It has more to do with receivers being healthy than different personell and formations. The timing between Alex, Crabtree, and Edwards will get better.

But on the heavy formation there is usually only 1 WR on the field.
