Film Room: 49ers offense

Shanahan's offense has always been eye-candy to watch. Creative usage of personnel matchups and understanding defensive tendencies while creating a numbers advantage as a result.

Always will be a test for any team to go against him in general. Let's see how well Rivera has prepared for him.

I am quite enjoying the film study on Shanahan. 

A very clean, efficient offense.

Again, these are things you’re more than likely going to see you on Sunday.

Pre-snap is Shanahan's bread and butter. His primary goal is to always throw what you least expect as a defense. It starts with what he implements before the snap that just leave defenses scrambling.

Luke Kuechly knows that fact more than anyone.

[Kyle Shanahan]'s been creative ... and had something new for us every time. That’s what makes him good, you can’t dial in exactly on what he’s doing.

Having all three of these guys back would be a big boost. Again, you’ll probably see a lot of Shaq against Kittle, but I wouldn’t rule out Cockrell on Kittle situationally.

Papa Mike did have the benefit of working with some amazing quarterback talents. A lot of Bronco fans pointed out that after Elway retired, Shanahan's magic was gone.

I've wondered once or twice whether Kyle might not actually be the better coach.

(jury's still way way way out on that question)

Just a few nuggets to get you started today—more on their passing attack tonight. Going to examine their defense a little closer later in the week.

 

 

Been dippin' those nuggets in analytics sauce, haven't we?

Carolina is so much stronger and more athletic on the edge in 2019.

How does a 34 able to handle a zone blocking scheme? Will our speed make up for 1 less dlineman?

[ellis]

Again, I think you’ll see a lot of hybrid looks. You’ll still see a lot of 4 man fronts. The idea with defending the zone scheme is quickness at LB, and strength on the edge. Discipline is vital when you face this type of scheme. The backs are typically very quick, one-cut-and-go guys. There are different variations of runs: Ghost motion, where the wide out runs reverse action off the stretch to the running back. Inside zone. Outside zone. The key to all of it is setting the edge. 

Blockers in the scheme are just looking to get to a spot, always in unison. 
 

Can’t fly downhill too fast against zone concepts. You’ll end up getting washed up in blocks. Everybody’s trying to set a certain edge, maintain leverage. It’s more about containment than attacking. At least that’s my personal theory on how to defend the run against that scheme.
