NO ONE. And here's why:

When the 49ers pass the ball, Jeff Garcia drops back to pass. His first read is Terrell Owens, of course. Owens almost always gets wide open because he's just that #### good, and Garcia, knowing Owens is the fastest, most elusive, and most explosive offensive player in the league, throws him the ball without hesitation.

Now, on those extremely rare occasions where Owens doesn't get the ball, you'd expect Stokes to get it, right?

Well, not so fast.

Garcia drops back to throw, and if Owens is miraculously octouple covered successfully, he goes to his #2 read, or the running back, either Hearst or Barlow. If they're open, he throws it to them. Sometimes his #2 read is the tight end, or Eric Johnson or Justin Swyft. Again, if they're open, he'll throw it to him.

Now, what happens if neither his #1 or #2 read are open? Well, Garcia has been standing there for more than 2 seconds and he's getting worried, so he starts to scamper in the pocket. He may scramble out laterally, and look downfield for an open man. Most of the time he scampers to his right, and usually that is not the side J.J Stokes had lined up on, so he can not longer think of J.J as an option.

Now, after Garcia moves laterally, usually right, the defenders flow to the right and cover all of his receivers. The result is an incompletion.

Sometimes, Garcia will just step up in the pocket instead. Stokes is usually too far downfield for Garcia to get the ball to him by this point, so he looks again to check it down, or throw it to a back or tight end underneath. If nobody is open, he'll try to run it.

Now, this is assuming Garcia avoids the pass rusher as he's stepping up.

On many occasions, Garcia steps up with no regard for where any of the defenders are and runs into the defensive lineman and SACKS HIMSELF. The offensive lineman on our team had his man contained, as well as all of our other o-linemen, but Garcia didn't trust them and took a bad angle when stepping up and ran right into the defender. As a result, he loses yardage or maybe gains null or one yard, and it's a loss of a down and Stokes didn't get the football when he should have.

So Garcia doesn't give things time to develop. His maximum time for staying in the pocket is 3 seconds. In those 3 seconds, he reads Owens for most of the time, then he reads the backs, and in a split second he checks Stokes, and he's out of position and nervous and tries to scramble.
