Can anyone answer for me why they went almost exclusively to the left side during this drive? Was there some rookie corner or safety over there or something?

Thanks,
Alaska

I think it was because of how many matchup problems we could cause Over there against a backup CB because Ron bartell was out.
If you watch closely, on multiple plays we have jimmy Graham and shockey lined up over there, size advantage, then motion lance Moore over, instant quick fire advantage, and colston aswell.
The amount of confusion we could cause over that side had Coach Payton jumping at the chance to exploit it, plus Lance moores TD was over that side aswell.
