NFL Notes: 49ers, Packers, Raiders

49ers

Former 49ers RB Brandon Jacobs mentioned during an interview with CBS Sports Radio that Jim Harbaugh had “no idea” what he was doing when he was in charge of the team.

“Jim, I had a lot of respect for Jim when I was there – before I got to know him,” Jacobs said. “I enjoyed my time there, but we didn’t see eye-to-eye. I knew a little bit more about football than what they led on.”

According to Jacobs, one obvious issue for Harbaugh was that he didn’t have a good understanding f the Xs and Os of coaching.

“Going somewhere where they don’t have route conversions into certain coverages was just absurd,” Jacobs said. “They’re just running routes in the defense, getting people killed. Size and strength is what they had, and that’s why they won. Let’s be real. They had great assistant coaches, but Jim didn’t know what he was doing. Jim had no idea. Jim is throwing slants into Cover-2 safeties, getting people hurt. That guy knew nothing, man.”

It’s worth mentioning that Jacobs’ time in San Francisco was limited and included a suspension before he was eventually released during the season.
