Something I didn't notice when I watched the game in real time on TV:  On the screen pass that was the last play of the first half--at 8:09 of the clip--in addition to Thomas keeping the runner (and blocker) in front of him and McCray chasing the guy down, three other defenders were running close behind McCray.  Nice effort.

On the trick play, I think that if Speight throws it back to Jabrill, he takes it to the house. The entire half of the field vacated once they saw the threat of the deep ball. Something to think about in the coming games... I'm sure Harbaugh saw this when he rolled back the tape.

I'm sure it's an option. I didn't see what Jabrill did after he threw it. Did he just stand around, or did he go out in a pattern...what happened?

I'm sure the deep ball is the primary target, but I also wonder if you're right and that Jabrill would also be a target.

I think Jabrill sells it because he doesn't go out for a route. He's just kind of standing back there with De'Veon Smith in front as his lead blocker. Smith needs to make one block, if that, and then it's Jabrill's speed vs the deep defensive backs coming back from the other side of the field

The Good ol wham play to spring Isaac for a long gain. One of my favorite concepts.

This one was inside where the block was executed by the fb on the nose. I still like the off tackle version harbaugh ran in SF against the lions. I think the H back was split out and would shuffle in motion inside toward the OT. They'd let the DT come unblocked upfield, H block would crash him down inside, handoff to Gore and he slides right around the carnage for like a 50yd td. Haven't noticed them run that version yet at Michigan. Thought it would be good against a player like mcdowell at msu. But we didn't need it, lol.
