Film Room: 49ers defense

I’ve been curious about this 49ers defense for several weeks now. This week was my first opportunity to really sit down and digest what makes them special. In a world of analytics and numbers, it always comes back to fundamentals and effort. The 49ers have a well-coached, high-energy defense. 

There’s a lot to unpack, so we focused on third down. And some fourth downs, as well. This is how they were able to hold the defending NFC champs ZERO conversions on those downs.

Jimmie Ward has always been excellent when he's on the field. Its the reason he was resigned in the offseason and why the D has looked even better the past three games (he was out weeks 1-3).

 

The problem with Jimmie is that he can't stay on the field, or at least has been unable to up to this point in his career. Just this year, he broke his collarbone in OTAs, then finally got back and promptly badly injured his finger and had to have surgery.

If there’s any chance to move that ball tomorrow, this is how you’re going to do it. I mean, Kyle can come out and surprise the world. But you have to be able to establish the run on the road. And it’s not impossible against this defense.

This was always their best chance. And it worked. Especially when they zone schemed. It’s disappointing the defense let it get out of hand so early, because they could’ve run for 200 yards had the defense held their own.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
