Poona will be huge in this game....I'm sure the Niners will want to run, run, run and run some more

If Bosa plays anytime he is in I am running a double team right at him.
He had two partial practices all pre season.
Run right at him with a double team, wear him out and grind him into the ground.

Short, release type pass plays have been somewhat successful for them in the recent past, negating our pressure from up front.
I'm thinking that we need to find a way to occasionally drop a d-lineman back into short coverage and bust that shit up more regularly.

Hopefully our new corner tandem brought some new ideas for that sht.
Especially when you want BOTH teams to LOSE.
I guess I'd have to accept a win by the cheats since the chickens would be 0-1 starting out ...... but in THIS case ONLY.
That's no secret, it's what Shanny has always done. Target Rams biggest weakness, ILB Landman and Speights short passes over the middle to Kittle,, CMC or Deebo. Rams need to find some way to counter that. Tighten the LOS, put 8 in the box. Do something different now that we got bigger CB's,
Jeff Saturday, on Get Up, was talking about that don't be surprised to see Garrett & Donald inside a lot to get in Purdy's face. That's what makes both special. They can be very effective rushing inside. Garrett isn’t just an edge guy as we know. That's what can be a Niners killer in this game. Disrupt Purdy from the shortest distant to the QB, and still have guys like Stewart & Young outside.
If they get in 3rd & long, imagine Young, Donald, Garrett and Stewart or Fiske/Turner. Yikes!

These outside runs are a great example of one of the things that makes Williams awesome... all the extra yards he picks up that a back with less vision or body control could do.

I think we're all looking forward to seeing how this new defense plays in certain situations, when compared to the team's past style of D, when considering all of the positional upgrades.
...and they and the seachickens were very successful at it.
honestly, who's our best "short passes over the middle" defender? anxious to see if Dolac is that guy. or maybe Lake? McCullough??
I'm as excited as anyone else on this board about our CB additions & MG (AND AD99!!). But before the draft I was mocking ILB's with plus coverage skills in the 3rd & 4th, and we didn't get an ILB at all until UDFA & he's already gone.
...is Stuard any good at this? if not, guys we may be in for some big let downs this season. our "short passes over the middle" D was another serious weakness left over from last season, & unless Dolac and/or Lake are the answer, we still haven't addressed this issue & game 1 is Thursday....
That whole game was a disaster. Not quite on-par with the Jets Darnold game in '20 but close.
Should never have gone that way.
According to what Nacua said they will be sleeping pretty much the whole way, no napping. I imagine that to mean they'll bed down a few hours into the flight, then wake up 8-10 hours later for a morning meal and landing. When they get back to LA after the game they'll have some days off before they begin prep for the Monday night game. I expect the Good Guys to be dialed in on Thursday.

Whoever is on the left side of the defense needs to be wary of Purdy rolling to his right. He's effective with extending the play that way. Force him to his left and he's not so effective.
That's the scary part...and why I was on-board for the Fisher hire.
Right out of the gate in his first season they were competitive on the field even when they weren't winning. Except for that Patriots game...
Jeff Saturday and/or Dominique Foxworth were talking about that on GET UP this morning, that you could overload the line and when they shift, send more guys on the back side and see Donald or Garrett dropping off into short coverage.
Though the expectation would be that comes later in the season...

My eyes will be on DB Lake. He was a shell of his former self after returning from IR.
Keeping my fingers crossed that he can return before that injury midseason of 2025.
If I were the 9ers I would go after him on both run and pass to see what version he is.
