Mr. Rice – I live rather close to Ninerland. It is sort of like my proximity to Raider Nation. Of course, Niners are not nearly as diabolical or smelly. They are not our sworn enemies against whom we must defend ourselves twice a year – with ugly, evil, and intelligence deprivation written all over them. It is just that these red and black folks are infiltrators who taint everything good in my region. They out number the lovely colors of blue and orange probably 2 to one. When it gets right down to it – even though it is a pre-season game – in every single phase of the game – I WANT TO BURY THEM!!!

1. Establish run game vs. 3-4 (tough test).
2. Passing game plan vs 3-4 defense. (WR adjustment on routes run).
3. O work on recognizing blitz packages… (pass & run block)
4. Defense work on containing run game.. (limit big runs).
5. Defense recognize draw plays & screens and shut down.
6. Work on form tackling.
7. Create turnovers, strip, tipped balls, int’s.
8. Limit penalties.

Hey cat – the fact that Irsay is tweeting about “trade winds swirling” tells me he is looking for a quick uptick in ticket sales….
