FootballZombie Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Lynn? Cool. 9ers run game came from more than just RBs. If we can get the ponies we can further expand our rushing attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran the ball quite a bit with the Cardinals - but from spread and the numbers were inflated by having Murray run it quite a bit (though he ran it less the last couple of seasons they were together). But air raid is normally 4 or 5 eligible and blocking with your 5 O'line. Running tends to be inside zone or Gap. Not much outside zone. Meanwhile 49ers were in 2 backs and 2 receivers more than any team in football and ran a ton of outside zone. Someone is adjusting here. 9 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Virginia boy, but my beloved Washington Commanders belong in DC That jinx wasn't a location, it was a man.

CommanderInTheRye Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) If I'm a veteran Commander and I'm looking at all these new coaching hires and their pedigrees I'm thinking... "The club med days are done. These guys mean business. They sure ain't coming here to lose. To hell with the off season, I'm hitting the gym first thing tomorrow..." <Checks twitter and learns that Schefter announced Anthony Lynn hired by Commanders.> "There is no tomorrow! I'm getting my fat ass to the gym right now." Edited February 14 by CommanderInTheRye 2 2 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJD2 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Starting to see some of the SF model already. When some of these asst coaches inevitably get hired elsewhere next year Washington likely in line for comp picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskinss Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Love the Lynn hire but i wonder why the niners let him walk for what appears to be a lateral move at best. The cowboys blocked us with harris, I wonder why the niners didn't do the same with Lynn? I know our staff is very cozy with their staff but this is dog eat dog here I can't imagine they were trying to do us a favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysBeRedskins2Me Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Adding an experienced former head coach ( who had a winning record with LAC) cannot be a bad thing. Keep up the great work fellers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "we" because I find myself having to fight not doing the exact same thing. We need to trust that good things will happen to us. There is power in thought.

There might be a younger guy that Kyle wants to give a shot to and Lynn can probably boost his chances at a HC job if he can develop a run game outside of Kyle's wing of influence.

MartinC Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I am still a bit concerned about the offensive side of the ball. We are putting a decent staff together but they all have different backgrounds schematically. Getting everyone aligned and making sure the pass game and run game are synched together is going to be key (thats what the 49ers do so well as an example). I'm also not a huge fan of pure progression reads which is something Kingsbury has done previously but to be fair we don't know yet what he's going to adjust from what he might have done before. You'd hope that as a coach he has learned and developed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know our staff is very cozy with their staff but this is dog eat dog here I can't imagine they were trying to do us a favor. I am guessing it's the relationship with Quinn and Lynn, and Adam Peters too. Lynn probably wanted to go. Stop and read that last sentence again. Lynn probably wanted to come. People want to be here now. Good people. Ben Johnson's shriveled raisin of a scrotum aside, Quinn said he wanted this position before it was available. Peters wanted to come here, and here alone. These aren't Jim Zorn hires. These aren't Ron Rivera's give-him-the-world to come here hires. These aren't last-gaspers. These aren't Jay Gruden. These are legitimate hires. Now, it could very well burn down, fall over, and then sink into the swamp, but I am ****ing excited about the whole process. Now, please excuse me while I call the doctor. It's been WAY longer than 4 hours. 3 1 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle doesn’t hire all these stud coaches by blocking them when they want other opportunities. The Cowboys blocking coaches from interviewing here will hurt them as they build out their next staff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I don't think your thought has merit, it certainly does but I don't believe that's where my brain was going with this. I literally am just curious why they let him walk for a lateral move, I don't believe I'm seeking out the negative but it could be unconscious I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exception is high quality coordinators since they are sooo instrumental to team success(which is why it was such a red flag that Reid just let us have Bienemy last year). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fair to say we are making a lot of assumptions about Kingsbury. But all we can go on is what he has run in the past at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome to be the place where valued assistants want to leave a great situation to come be a part of a rebuild, uh um excuse me a recalibration. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
