    Those of us that want to run the ball better and become more balanced don't want to become ATL, TEN or NYG.
    We believe that running the ball better will make Herbert more effective (like 2021).

    Now maybe the blocking scheme will be different, maybe we draft more effective run-blocking players... whatever it takes to be better.
    We're not raging against the thought of "Run better. Protect the QB better". We recognize the philosophical change... even embrace it.

      hopefully? how many more organizations does he need to take from the basement to the penthouse? He's taken 4 of 4 to the top shelf.

          All of us want to run the ball better. That's a given. And no one is raging against that thought.

          But this discussion started a few pages back when discussing teams with a close to 50/50 run/pass ratio.

            The following got mentions by Jimbo.
            --Shane Day.
            --Marc Trestman.
            --Herbert's Ranch.

            I rest my case.

            Clearly we are going to pass the football.
            And run the football.
            We do not play modern football.

                Definitely proven. Great resume. I am very optimistic about Mr. Jim Harbaugh

                  Even Popper was flummoxed.
                  Jimbo started slow.
                  Then he dropped some nuggets.
                  For example, our HC likes McFadden as a Center.
                  Scrap your plans for Jackson, Zach and Sedrick.

                    PFF just put out a new mock. It's the first one I have seen in awhile that shows us trading out of 5. We trade with the Vikes for #11, #23 and a 2025 3rd. The Vikes take McCarthy and we get Troy Fautanu at 11 and Cooper DeJean at 23. That is not something that would upset me in the slightest.

                      I hope we get more than a 2025 3rd.

                        Right, future year would have to be a 2nd
                        If the pick is in 2024 - 3rd

                        As for the players - Fuanga or Mims at 11

                        Bryan Thomas at 23

Basically, when pressed by the reporter about Keenan he talked in circles and stayed neutral.
                          Correct.
                          Brilliant response. Turn what the reporter is implying as a negative into a positive.
