Scott Ostler of the Chron came up with my favorite nickname for our offense. The Whack - a - Mole Offense

Once upon a time Bill Walsh's offense was known as "So Many Weapons".

Then last year we were the "Inch Worm offense"

And now... "Whack-a-Mole". Gear up for the Pistol? Roman and Harbaugh throw the WCO at you. Gear up the the WCO? They hit you with the Power Running Game. Gear up to stop Kaepernick running wild? It's Gore, or James shredding your Defense with Dive Plays up the middle. Stop one thing and a whole different offensive system pops up to make you look stupid.

Some odd thoughts after not being able to post for a couple of days:

We have to resign Delanie Walker. Yeah, I know. He's had some drops. I don't care. The guy is a stalwart on ST. The guy is really our back up FB. The guy can pick up blitzers, and he's one heck of a wham blocker. He's a better than solid inline blocker. He's fast, and he can get open. And if your only complaint is the number of drops this year, I offer one word: "Practice". Get him working out with Colin, catching passes this summer, and he'll be fine. I think this is one guy that we simply can not afford to lose.

We can, however afford to lose Ted Ginn Jr.. And regardless of what Harbaugh says to the media... I expect to see Randy Moss announcing his retirement after the Niners kick the Ravens butts in the Superbowl.

I liked the article above that mentioned our line problems the last time we played the Ravens. Snyder got hurt, Rachal came in, and Anthony Davis fell apart. It was the recipe for disaster and Alex Smith got pounded. It ain't gonna be that easy this time.

Oh, and a stray thought... It might be interesting to see the team bring Josh Johnson back for this summer's mini camp. If we're sticking with the Pistol as a major part of our offense, I can't think of many guys better suited to back Kaepernick up. He's got one heck of a strong and accurate arm, and he runs like billy-o. Just a thought.

Now something I'll have to give some thought to. Do I want to see Ray Lewis break an ankle trying to shift direction and get after Kaepernick, or Gore or James? Or do I just want to see him spinning in the middle of the field like Clay Mathews of Green Bay did, trying to figure out where the ball went.

Right now, I'm leaning toward the spinning angle. With a broken ankle he'd probably be able to spin it into a heroic effort sort of thing, whereas... if he's just whirling around in space, that'd be kind of funny.
