Morris knows rhis. He knows mcvay can't help himself which is why he wasn't loading up the box
The 49ers often aligned in five-man fronts and even some six-man fronts. Morris made a clear effort to disguise their pressures and coverages. Warner sometimes moved up, and other times he moved back. With Warner being able to diagnose plays and his quickness, they don't need him on the line to stop both the run and pass. I was afraid Morris would mix things up and confuse Stafford, which he did. The Rams had some solid runs but, the Whiners made stops on shorter-yardage plays. I don't know if it was missed blocks or sluggish play on the Rams. While they didn't load the box with 8 men they did 5-6 fronts, with CBs playing closer than the Rams' CBs.

I'm not going to name any names but someone needs to tell landman that a 50 grade is not good enough to stop a mccaffery.
Our defensive line got abused in the second half and that is not going to work in this NFL/not for long.
I'm just glad we have a long practice week to figure something out.

Checks out with what I saw. Middle of our dline just got murdered all game for some reason.
I been highly critical of NT Ty Hamilton. but if we utilize the PFF grades where it indicates that TH's grade is better than DL'ers of Ford/ Davis/ Johnson/ Fiske. DL'er Turner was the only decent stats on of the unit.

But TH was only in on 12 snaps & only had one tack??? Davis who played a great amount got 32 snaps with 7 tacks. Turner got 43 snaps involved in 7 tacks. Fiske got 29 snaps involved in 2 tacks. Johnson got more snaps than Hamilton's 12 has same 1 tack.

Now starting NT Ford got the 2nd most snaps with 33 & was involved with only 1 tack with 1 assist. That's UNBELIEVABLE!

Can anyone explain the higher TH grade?

Higbee was brutal. Poona has to be a lot better otherwise they run all over you. Garrett grade surprised me, a bit better than I thought. I posted a vid with all his snaps. A non factor in the pass rush and whiie Williams stonewalled him the run game, he still set the edge well, and funneled the plays back inside, but nobody was in the hole to meet the runner.
Thanks for posting.

Poona was soft. Whiners don’t run outside. It was up the gut.

McDuffie was worth the money for game 1.

Kam Curl is just a solid pro, and we missed him when he got dinged. He shows in run D.
