The 49ers have had trouble on their back end too, but they have the ability to limit their exposure by taking the air out the football in a way we don’t. McVay has made this a big play quick strike offense. Feels like every scoring drive is 17 yard pass to Jefferson, 7 yard run Michel, 16 yard catch Higbee, 8 yard run Michel, 25 yard TD catch Kupp. Just boom. boom. boom. And while he enjoys that kinda offense, I do think McVay wants more balance.
Today I know he wanted to respond to their physicality with a running game of our own—because Sony is a physical ass back—but our o line just got their ass kicked. I guarantee you McVay was in the offensive meeting room all week saying “if those motherfuckers come out with that 18 play drive shit trying to cram the ball down our throats, we are gonna give it right back to ‘em”. We rolled out those 3 tight end unbalanced looks several times and we got our shit pushed in like every time. The offensive line was really the only unit he called out by name in his post game presser.
