He was yapping about how he thinks we're going to have another issue with Holmes due to the sole reason of him NOT getting the ball again this season. He also mentioned how we were throwing the ball 5 yards from the line of scrimmage at Training Camp and how we're not going to beat anyone in this league doing that.
Unfortunately, I do agree with him. I saw a couple of tweets about receivers having trouble getting separation and this just reminds me of sh*tty again. I can't help but ask whether our WRs need to improve or our CBs are too damn good?

With the stable of backs we have, I dont see the running game blowing anyone off the ball like we were able to do in 2009/10....so the ball is going to be in Sanchez's hands again....then come the fumbles, the int's....and then Tebow time.
I dont get what this team is trying to do offensively. I really really hope Powell can be a guy that pick up yards.

I assume he was referring to the offense. Either way, Chris Carter is a complete moron. He's siting the 3rd day of training camp as a prediction on what we'll see during the season?
FWIW - all of the Dolphag receivers during the Sparano's tenure averaged over 10ypc and the X, Y receivers were usually up in the 12-15 range. The whole idea of ground and pound is to get 8 guys in the box and go over top with the size and speed we've attained this offseason.

I really do believe in Rex and his philosophy. Just look at the 49ers last year. Their identity is extremely similar to ours and it's running the ball and playing defense. However, their passing offense is much better than ours. I'm not saying they have more talent than us but you saw more 20+ yard passes with them. I hope TS knows that, because completing 6 receptions for 20 yards or more in one season is inexcusable.

The 49'ers passing offense is better than ours?

While LT had a pretty decent year in 2010, I'm not sure it would be all that hard for this group to be as good as the 2009 group, as they were hardly anything to write home about. Jones sucked, Washington was a major disappointment once given a larger role in the offense and Greene, who was arguably the best of the bunch, is now the starter. The bigger question would be if this OL can open holes for a set of mediocre backs the same way that 2009 group did and if not, that's when it becomes necessary for these RBs to turn out to be not just as good as, but quite better, than their predecessors.
TL;DR amirite?
Excuses are the tools of the incompetent.

My take on this is pretty much Damien Woody was really freaking good...

Was Carter mind numbingly, speech slurring drunk again while sharing his sagacity? He is beyond moronic.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

What's the common denominator in our offense since 2009? Think hard.
sheesh, I'm a doosh.

False.
Sanchez had dozens more downfield pass attempts than Alex Smith last year. I don't have 20+ yard numbers but it isn't likely much different than 15+.
Smith attempted the 6th-lowest percentage of 15+ yard passes last season. Compound that with the 49ers attempting the 2nd-fewest total number of 15+ yard passes last season and you have a team that is far more likely to throw underneath than were the 2011 Jets to the tune of an extra 3 attempts every single game.
By the way, in addition to Alex Smith, here are some other QB's who attempted deeper passes on a lower percentage of attempts than Sanchez did:
Drew Brees
Tom Brady
Matthew Stafford
Matt Hasselbeck
Tony Romo
Matt Ryan
Jay Cutler
The problem isn't that Sanchez isn't attempting them. The problem is he isn't completing them.
Q: Which NFL QB was the most likely to attempt a downfield pass last year?
A: Tim Tebow
