Let's talk about the 49ers (Super Bowl Edition)

[TLO]

Well Chiefs vs Packers is what I had hoped for, but that's not happening.

Let's talk about Chiefs vs 49ers here.

Tell me about it. The Chiefs have the better QB, OL, and weapons. The fact that the Seahawks and the Cardinals put up 20+ in all 4 games is not a good sign, and to try and use those games as examples of how the 49ers can stop Mahomes and this offense is reeruned.

It’s their pass rush.

People are really underestimating the mismatch there.

Mahomes is going to torch their poor corners outside of Sherman. Those guys are not good enough to hang with Tyreek and Mecole.

Let Sherman have Sammy while we destroy their other corners

Dude if Sherman covers Tyreek it will be an absolute bloodbath. Sherman makes his hay these days on his knowledge of routes and anticipation. Tyreek would leave him so far behind on a go route, it wouldn’t be funny.

Yea I don’t think we should necessarily be avoiding Sherman though we should still take advantage of the mismatches elsewhere.

I like the thought of attacking Sherman when he's on an island or on off-script plays when Mahomes is out of the pocket, but Patrick has to be smart about going to his side.

Let me see...i answered a simple question about how the 49ers D-Line did against mobile QBs, and posted the stats. Now, am I "reeruned" for simply answering a question, or are you "reeruned" for claiming I was making an argument about how th 49ers can stop Mahomes? Seems like you have deep reading comprehension problems. Have you graduated HS yet?

I’d like to start off the game lining up Robinson/Hardman on Sherman’s side so we can take advantage of the mismatches early and the offense can get in rhythm. After that you can start making Sherman run with Tyreek a little, but yea you don’t want to make mental errors when throwing his way.

I have a feeling that the 49ers are going to be playing a lot two deep so that they take away the deep shots. They’re going to make our offense move the ball down the field play by play and hope for a turnover, a penalty or a sack.

Yep, their DC confirmed this in his press conference earlier this week. He said their #1 priority is to take away the most explosive plays.

Yeah, the Pats defense is great. I only posted stats showing the 49ers defensive line, when healthy, gets to the QB at a pace that happens maybe once a decade. Sacks are just one stat...as I have acknowledged, 49ers have shown they are vulnerable to fast scrambling QBs who can prolong plays. The 49ers secondary is very good when the QB is pressured to get rid of the ball quickly. When the play drags out, they lose coverage.

Sherman is slow. He's a system CB.

Man, Sherman was lucky Mahomes hung this ball up and Hill had to stop and wait for it, because he was absolutely cooked. pic.twitter.com/tUG71uZdqa

It’d be a real knuckleball, these Seattle style schemes don’t ever veer too far off of the beaten cover 3 path...

I think the reason it works pretty well is cause they do it so much that they have to be good at it.

NFL offenses have kinda caught on to how to attack it now though, so if you don’t great players, it doesn’t really work.

[Megatron96]

Containing Mahomes with just four DL is a huge ask, IMO. I don't think they can do it for 4 quarters. I don't think they can do it for a whole series.

They're going to have to have a LB or a S spy Pat. It's just about the only way.

That leaves just 6 DBs in coverage. They have to high bracket Hill and double Kelce. They just ran out of guys to cover. So they're going to have to mix things up somehow, but every time they rush just four with no spy, Pat is going to carve them up.

They only question is can our defense generate enough stops to get a win? I think they can. Just a couple key stops in the second half will be enough.

That's what they did last year and we screened em to death.

Andy is going to pwnd Saleh, no matter what scheme he comes up with.
