Is it me or does Singletary sound like Croom?...

Dixon has been embarrassed in blitz pick-up
drills by the team's linebackers, and pass protection is one of the
biggest areas in which he must improve.
<p class="inside-copy"> Said Singletary: "He's a ways away. He's got a
lot of work to do in every area — from just being able to hit the hole,
knowing when to dance a little bit, knowing when to hit at full speed,
knowing when to make a cut, knowing exactly where that guard is going to
— how close that guard is going to be off the center — and how quickly
he has to make a decision, how much time he has to hit a hole, the
protections."</p>
<p class="inside-copy"></p>If a guy rushes for 100 yds, I would talk him up some. It's probably my Emm-State bias.

didn't Robinson or whoever the current second string guy is play the first quarter?

Also the 49ers were 27th in sacks allowed last year. Sounds like Gore sucks at picking up a pass rush too. Maybe the OLine just blows.

Not sure if anyone else noticed it in the highlights, but Dixon was very supportive of his linemen blocking for him. Anytime they made a block he made sure to give them a head or butt pat.

these aren't the only comments I've seen from him where he really dressed down AD's first performance. Every other word he's poor mouthing something, just like our former dipshit.

Joe Staley missed the final seven games last year and they drafted two linemen in the first round this year to help solve the problem.

Vernon Davis was an absolute 17in cancer a few years ago I remember Singletary sent him to the locker room during a game.<div>

is right, Singletary comes across as a whiny little *****. I guess Dixon isn't doing it the right way and we all know that there's always just one right way (ala Croom). I'm going to collapse if Singletary actually gives Dixon some deserved praise.

that noticed that Singletary commented on Dixon "not knowing when to dance a little bit"?

But I've always thought that Singletary sounded like Croom as in the way his voice sounded.

It just seems to me that whenever a coach doesn't like a running back for whatever reason, and yet that running back produces, the party line is always some lame coachspeak about blocking or picking up the blitz. I mean, does anyone remember Emmitt Smith pancaking a bunch of guys?
