San Francisco 49ers Playbook: West Coast Abandonment

This isn’t your dad’s San Francisco 49ers.

Gone is the legendary Bill Walsh, and extinct is the West Coast Offense in the City by the Bay.

Mike Singletary is the new sheriff in town and he prefers to do his trailblazing on the ground. In 2009, expect to see an offensive attack from the Niners similar to that of the Tennessee Titans a season ago.

Former offensive coordinator Mike Martz was relieved of his duties last year because of his pass-first mentality. So now Singletary will play to the team’s strengths by executing what he knows best—defense.
