Siavii, play by play,


play by play for Siavii, 49ers preseason play.

Star-divide

2nd, 7:21, Run off left guard, pushes center into hole and cause pile up, very strong play.

2nd, 6:40, Trap play off guard, Siavii get pancaked by tackle.

2nd, 5:59, 4 man line, drop back pass, Siavii pushes guard six yards back, dep, deep drop by QB.

3rd, 8:55, Screen pass, Siavii hits guard and then gets blocked by tackle, not a factor in the play.

3rd, 8:20 Play action roll out pass, Siavii pushes the pulling guard two yards deep. Bites on the play action takes himself out of play.

3rd, 8:06, Drop back pass, Siavii gets pancaked.

3rd, 7:09, Drop back pass, drives double team 3 yards deep and almost swats pass down.

3rd, 5:43, Quick pass, no time to make a play.

3rd, 5:39, sweep left, never had a chance to be a part of play, 

3rd, 5:04, Run off left guard, Siavii gets doubled by guard and center, gets dumped to turf but causes a pile where the ball was going. 

3rd, 4:20, screen pass, Siavii rushes the passer as the linemen let him go, he's out of the play.

3rd, 3:25, Play action deep pass, Siavii bites on play action gets blocked by center and is not a factor in play.

3rd, 3:00, Drop back pass, Siavii gets driven four yards and QB scrambles into gapping hole left by a vacated Siavii.

3rd, 2:07, Run off right guard, Siavii gets doubled by guard/center, gets turned out of play.

3rd, 1:25, play action roll out pass, Siavii bites on play action takes himself out of the play.

3rd, :39, dro back pass, Siavii no push or pass rush gets stood up at line.

3rd, :17, Goalline, Siavii holds his ground against double team, back actually jumps over him, thats pretty amazing.

4th, : 10:53 Run right, tries to pusue the play but gets driven 4 yards off the line of scrimage.

4th, 9:25, drop back pass, Gets good push, Hatcher gets sack,  QB could not step up and Siavii helped in that role.

4th, 8:50, shot gun screen, reads screen pass quickly pursues the play and makes tackle 10 yards down field.

4th, 8:02, screen pass, RB drops pass, Siavii read it quickly agian.

4th, 7:39, run up middle, left guard shoves Siavii past the right guard, AWFUL play for Siavii. 

4th, 6:57, drop back pass, gets a four yard push and stalls on the rush. 

4th, 6:15, run play off right tackle, turns his back to the center and gets driven 5 yards, sigh!!!!

4th, 5:25, drop back pass, Siavii plays patty cake with center, he is swating his hands but not really doing much, I think hes trying to look busy but not really do anything, he looks tired. 

4th, 4:43, wildcat run, guard just slings Siavii to the ground, pathetic.

4th, 1:51, Pass play, Siavii shucks the centers hands and goes right by him, he lets up as he gets to the QB, almost like he didn't want to hurt him. Siavii should have had a sack at the 1.

4th, 1:46, Siavii stunts and trips over the DE. He falls to the ground.

4th, 1:40, pass play, Ha ha they block Siavii with a tripple team but fail to block just about everyone else. The only person they attempt to block is siavii!

4th, 1:30, Siavii, initally stunts but see's the back slip ot of the backfield, he slides to the back, very nice recognition.

4th, 1:24, Siavii pulls the center to the left giving Bobby a clean lane to blits through, subtle but nice.

4th, 1:16, Siavii attempts to shuck the center it does not work he gets stoop up on the line, no pass rush on pass play.

4th, :54, pass play, Siavii gets good push and almost swats ball down, he does a good jub of getting into the passing lane but mistimes his jump.

4th, :42, Splits double team and gets pressure on the QB,

4th, :38, shoots a gap and the RB goes to the othe side of center, i think he did his job but the linebacker failed to fill the other gap.

 

Through three preseason games Siavii has been fairly consistant until this week against single teams beating them regurly. The left guard of San Fran was a beast and even threw Siavii to the ground once. 

Siavii has some of the worst plays I've seen him have in this game. He had a series of plays that he was just awful being pushed around badly. I'm a little more worried now than I was a week ago. He still had some good plays where he stood the double teams up and even split and beat one. 

 

I was hoping for more this game.

Clearly a backup

And not showing the signs that he would ever be a starter in the NFL. Thank you for the Siavii series.

I’m sure the coaching staff knows what they have in him — it’s just a matter of whether they think it’s enough to spell Ratliff during a game so he can get some rest. I do, however, I am concerned about Ratliff wearing down as the season goes on. Is Siavii good enough to avoid that?

Everything's looking up, Milhouse!

I think Siavii will be okay for 20-25 snaps per game

to allow Rat to get some rest throughout the game. He just needs to occupy double teams to allow our playmakers on defense to make the play.

I agree some

Siavii seems to play strong but gets tired, he plays entire series and only subs in the second half, yet in the season he would only sub in shorter spurts thus being fresher. If hes on the field for any time he starts to get weaker.

Just my observation.

by Musiccitynorm on Aug 31, 2009 1:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kind of what it looked like to me...

…we should be alright as long as Rat stays healthy. Thanks for the play by plays, norm…

Superbowl, or BUST.

I was thinking more like 8 snaps per game if the defense on average plays 60

Rat should be on the field over 85% of the time. Siavii should only come on the field late in the game to give Rat breathers.

He's like 30 right?

If Free is the real deal then we may be looking at a 1st round DT, but despite the good press on Free – LT has to be able to block everyone not just most!

by bad knees on Aug 31, 2009 2:23 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Free is 26, Siavii is 29...not sure to whom you were referring

But NTs play well into their 30’s. See Grady Jackson, Jason Ferguson, etc.

As to the above reference of 20-25 plays, there are only 60 plays a game. I’d hardly expect a Pro Bowler to sit 1/3 of the snaps. It would/should be around 5-10 snaps, with a couple of others coming on the nickel and dime packages when Bowens, Hatcher, and/or Spears get a few reps at DT in the 4-man line.

But that doesn’t preclude getting a NT next year. As has been proven repeatedly, the Planet Theory will prevail and all decent NT prospects are usually gone by Round 2 or 3.

I was referring to Siavii, The key is playing well!

Salvii is barely a passable back up. I don’t think we should go with the “Plant Theory”. I think we should try to find someone in the Ratliff “High Motor” mold. A guy who plays full out every play till the play is over all game long.

Speaking of a guy who plays with a high motor all game/ season long; this is were Flo will be hampered in my opinion. From what I have been reading, and not only this year, this guy is showing his age. I don’t know if that knee injury bothers him the more he is on it, I know mine does some days, or he smokes a pack a day, I know I do; but it will be interesting what he looks like in the second half, and 4th quarter of games, and late in the season; Especially in close hard fought games were young DE are pushing him hard all game and double especially if we continue to be a ball control type offense.

by bad knees on Aug 31, 2009 3:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Don't know what you've been reading

But thus far, Flo has looked very good.

He came to camp about 20lbs lighter, has improved his conditioning, and simply hasn’t been beaten yet.

He looks solid by all accounts. Last Year? Different story. Some may excuse his lapses due to Proctor (which is a valid point), but overall, he had a down year. He should have a much better year. And if not, it looks like Free and/or Bigg will suffice.

Keep an eye on the waiver wire for DT

There’s likely someone better that will be cut next weekend.

Training Camp '09 = Mega Thunder Dome....80 men enter, 53 men leave.

by APerfectStar on Aug 31, 2009 5:56 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

That's what I'm thinking, too.

Great NT’s are hard to find, but a backup NT that can just occupy 2 blockers while Rat takes a rest might be available.

Isn't that what Siavii is?

Same with Seawright, who played for the Gints.

I agree

I seriously doubt that we could find a NT after the last cuts who would be more serviceable than Siavii.

LB is a different story, I think that’s the position we target the waiver wire.

Us, and half the league

With everyone switching over to the 3-4, much to the dismay of RealistLarry, there are going to be a lot of teams looking for those “pressure” guys.

The good news is that there is a buttload of talent out there and a feel that quite a few vets will be cut in favor of younger talent.

I'm talking about ILB too

I certainly don’t feel comfortable with Barbie as our primary backup to Brooking and James.

Bill parcells used to call guys your looking for

“downhill linebackers” He used to also warn they had weaknesses. Jerimiah Trotter was who he was talking about in a round about way. Bobby does some things really well, one of them is move. Get the blockers off him and he will be fine, that is going to be Siavii’s, Olshanskies, and Spears jobs and if they do them Bobby will be fine, if not he’s going to get killed!

by Musiccitynorm on Sep 1, 2009 2:54 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

that doesn't happen in a 3-4

LBs have to take on OL in that defense, there’s no way around it.

But after reading the play-by-play,

it doesn’t necessarily sound like Siavii can fill that role consistently.

+1

I’d hate to see anything unfortunate happen in the position. I’d like to see us keep our eye on free agency and plan to go after someone in the draft if we don’t hit in FA.

sounds like

when he is not tired he can hold his ground. he will never make big plays, unless they run into him, but as a back up he can hold his ground and give us 10 plays per game. but reading through it sounds liek he is really weak on play actions, where he bites all the time. when he is tired, he can’t push, he falls to the ground and he can’t do much. seems to me he is not as in good a shape as he could be. but again, as a back up he is adequate.

by CowboysFanatic on Aug 31, 2009 9:31 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Play action, and

traps and does not fare to good when guards crash at his legs, (slant blocks), He is a master at using his hands and gives one on one blocks the devil, but I think thats what we were looking for was a guy to eat up two blockers so guys like James and Brookings could make the plays.
