QB option up the middle is all I read.

Just kidding I know we'll see a different Lance. I think Shanahan utilizes the running backs more this time, not to mention Deebo coming outta the backfield.

I know the 9ers will win this, but I think the bigger victory will be how well Lance performs. And I'm hoping for very encouraging.

Lol let's hope so. Last thing we need Is to see a repeat of what we saw against the cards.

We're more than likely to see Kyle utilize the running backs as much as possible this time round. I'm also hoping Kyle allows Lance to spread his wings and fly at some point too.

Time to see what we have In Lance.

is there a worse 49er analyst than dennis brown? why do people interview him? he's so stupid. ok rant over.

He's bad on that podcast. Just leave it to Barrows and Lombardi. Most of the sidekicks on all of these pods are horrendous.

So Lovie smith is the DC for the Texans, he's a Tampa 2 guy…You gotta think Kyle has some beaters for this coverage. Yankee concept/verts…any X's and O's Guys got some info on what kyle could run vs this coverage?

If Lovie stays with his bread and butter Cover2 concepts, then Run The Ball, because of 7 defenders in the box. I think that scheme partially explains why HOU has a poor run defense.

In the passing game, I think Corner routes will be there, those work versus Cover2. 4 verticals works. If Trey can hit those, I'd be stoked.
If it's Tampa2, I've seen Kyle dial up routes that exploit the area vacated by the Mike LB over the middle.

Will be nice to have our full stable of backs this game. Hopefully, we have Mitchell and Wilsons at full strength, though Mitchell was limited at practice all this week.

OK. QB Nate Sudefeld has been activated to the regular roster from the PS. Do you know what that means? It means Trey Lance is starting at QB. Sudefeld is the backup and Garoppolo is out.

This is as "official" as official gets. There can only be one reason why the 49ers activated Sudefeld. That reason is Trey Lance is in. Jimmy Garoppolo is out.

Buckle up, buttercups!

I skip ahead when its his turn to talk, he literally adds nothing to the pod.
