SAN FRANCISCO – The 49ers beat the Dolphins 27-13. Here is the grade for the 49ers coaches. Coaching: C-. Both the offensive and defensive game plans were weak. On offense, Greg Roman tried to come out passing. Unfortunately, the offensive line – Anthony Davis in particular – was horrendous in pass protection. So the 49ers accomplished next to nothing on offense in the first half. On defense, the 49ers struggled…
The 49ers will beat the Dolphins 24-9 on Sunday. The 49ers defense will not give up a touchdown for the second game in a row. The Dolphins defense will play the 49ers offense almost the exact same way the Rams defense played them last Sunday, and the 49ers will be ready for it. Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman, John Morton and Geep Chryst will have a creative, aggressive game plan that…
The 49ers play the Dolphins Sunday at Candlestick. In the meantime, I’ll break down five key matchups. DC Kevin Coyle vs. Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman, John Morton and Geep Chryst The 49ers offensive brain trust got embarrassed last week by Jeff Fisher. Kevin Coyle is no Fisher, but you can bet Coyle will try to duplicate what Fisher accomplished against the 49ers on Sunday. The Rams stopped Frank Gore and…
The 49ers play the Dolphins Sunday at Candlestick. In the meantime, I’ll break down five key matchups. SLB Koa Misi, WLB Kevin Burnett and RCB Nolan Carroll vs. TE Vernon Davis I expect the Dolphins to follow the Rams’ defensive blue print against the 49ers by using a two-deep zone to try to force Colin Kaepernick to check it down. With strong safety Reshad Jones playing a deep zone, Vernon…
SANTA CLARA – Thursday, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat learned the 49ers divvy up the offensive game planning. Today, I asked Jim Harbaugh if they divvy up the play calling, too. ME: Does Greg Roman call all of the offensive plays during the game, or does John Morton call the pass plays, and Geep Chryst the red zone plays? HARBAUGH: I think we’ve gone over this multiple times. Greg Roman…
Mario Manningham sat out the last two practices with a shoulder injury. If he can’t play against the Dolphins on Sunday, the 49ers lose a key weapon in the pass game. Manningham is second on the team in targets and catches, he’s dropped just one pass all season and he’s a deep threat. How do you suppose the 49ers wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator John Morton is game…
But no one is better acquainted with the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Johnson than first-year 49ers wide receivers coach John Morton, who was Johnson’s position coach for his four seasons at USC.
USC wide receivers coach John Morton, 41, will join Harbaugh’s coaching staff, presumably with the same job description. Morton and Harbaugh were assistants with the Raiders in 2002-03 and Morton worked under Harbaugh as the passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at the University of San Diego in 2005.
