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.

Maybe Mahomie will get another untouched TD run?

They may play the OLB up when they’re on the field, similar to what New England did to the Rams last year, but I expect the DEs to line up on the outside shoulder of the tackles, with the LB beyond that.

That approach gives them more options for crowding the middle.

And on passing downs, when they happen, there’s obviously less focus on the zone run,
So it becomes easier to squeeze the middle then.

So you're expecting a wide-9 style look or 6-1 look that the Pats ran against the Rams?

I'd be surprised to see much of the wide-9 because it's basically daring us to run.

Probably, he's just that ****ing good

I am really interested to see how the KC front 7 matches up with the Niners. I think our size at Dline and depth in that position group will ensure we're not outmatched physically, but do worry about our speed at linebacker. Those guys are going to have run horizontally more than they did against Tennessee. Hitchens, Wilson, Ragland, Niemann, O'Daniel - whoever is on the field, they're going to need to consistently diagnose plays early to beat the blocks of Juszczyk and Kittle.

where did you get that from his comment? That's literally the opposite of what he said.

I get it man. That must really suck to have wasted a generational talent at QB and only gotten one SB out of his entire career.

That's not how it's going here.

He won’t need it.

This is the final act of desperation before ultimate acceptance of inevitable, humiliating destruction: The 49er game plan is to cross your fingers and hope the other team's transcendent player, who has *repeatedly* brought his team back from certain demise, will finally choke away a game.

We aren’t the Packers, dummy. And this isn’t Aaron Rodgers taking the snaps.

Your team was charmin soft and we can say that because we’ve seen that over the years lately. The Chiefs aren’t that anymore.

Yeah, because there was no pressure down 24-0 against Houston.

And no pressure down 10-0 against the Titans with Derrick Henry on a historic run through the play-offs. I mean, none at all.

Lame.

Essentially, most people are taking SF solely based off their pass rush.

We've heard this narrative before last year when KC had the top pass rush in the league and everyone hyped up our defensive line.

We got ZERO sacks against Brady in the AFCCG.

Then can you specifically state what configuration you expect them to be in? When you say "similar to what NE did against the Rams", that's the 6-1.

The Packers didn't put 5 guys between the tackles. They put 3 guys over the center and guards then had the Smith's linedup outside of the tackles or even sometimes outside of the TE. So I assumie you didn't mean the same configuration, right?

That Packers formation basically created a huge alley outside of the DE but between the LB. When the LB tried to adjust to fill that alley, space was created outside.

Jonnydel does a great job of showing the scheme here:

JT O'Sullivan's QB school did a long breakdown of every run play that's excellent as well.

I can't wait for Dee Ford to cement his legacy as this year's Leon lett. Will the NFL enforce it? Because I've seen a ton of still frames where the dude still regularly lines up outside. Not jumping offsides. Lines up offsides.

[wachashi]

When we're up 28 in the fourth, Reid will dial up a fake tight end screen to Blake Bell, who then throws a TD pass to Kelce. It'll be a TE to TE play. Like this one the Patriots have ran so often with Edelman.

3 years ago tonight, Julian Edelman threw a touchdown pass to Danny Amendola in the Divisional Round of the Playoffs against the Ravens. The rest was history #Patriots pic.twitter.com/M4iAUjBcVr
