I think Staley was as close to balanced as we've had between recent DC's. In the beginning of last season, we were complaining that the zone coverage concept he was showing sucked. And it did. He turned it around and started calling more balanced zone/man coverage and even sprinkled in some blitzes that were effective in key situations. Letting him go really sucked.

Yeah there were so so so many plays tonight where guys were in position to make plays and they didn’t. The first 4 running plays of the second half, we hit them at or behind the LOS. They broke the tackle on every play
Oh, so that's the only drive that mattered, not the 30 minutes before that?
OK, well maybe you'd like to talk about how it was Rapp and Ramsay overrunning their path to Jimmy GQ so that he had so much time to hit his targets and not how only Miller got any pressure on him, and only once and the rest of the line did dick all?
Unless something changes in the playoffs to change Ramsey's mind I'm thinking this is exactly whats going to happen.
There was a shot of him on the broadcast yelling at Morris while he had his back to him. Morris didn't bother to turn around but Ramsey was pissed.
Oh and Cam Akers literally got bodyslammed tonight. That’s supposed to be a 15 yard penalty. That same hit has typically drawn flags.
lol really? about 90% of all football coaches make the same call.
thats jsut me from watching about 30 years of football
i mean i would have been fine if he tried to get the first down... but spare me because thats what all coaches do.
Was 20 feet away. Can confirm. At that stage the Niner fans were so loud I couldn't really hear what was being said on the sideline, but I did pick up "tighter"
They have a history of finding good ones and understanding what they're looking for.
Is OBJ having more of an impact this season than Aiyuk? Aiyuk has more catches and yards and the same number of TDs.
Okay.
90% of the coaches who come to the NFL don't win Super Bowls. Probably higher than that.
Just me from watching 40+ years of football.
we had the game won at that point however... secondary does shit the bed the game is over.
the 49ners ran the ball for 135 yards... its not like they ran for 250.
that last drive was what killed us more than anything.
No, it's not bad. Is it worth 2 firsts? Jury is out, but do you think a drive to get at least a FG in OT is too much to ask for at that price?
No one is being bias. Goff threw 16 picks in ‘19. Stafford threw 17 this year. While also almost doubling up Goffs TD passes 40-22.
Goff will not be a starting QB in the league in 3 years and people are still yearning for him to be taking snaps for the Rams. Unreal!
Fun model.. but what would it have said if they had gotten the first down?
Is the success or failure of the Stafford trade being based on solely the 2021 season? I don’t get that. Especially the regular season.
I get that everyone wants to assign a grade but unfortunately it might be 2-3 years before we see if it was worth it or not.
Here's where I'm at right now at this.
No.. today's loss wasn't his fault. As I've said.. I think the single biggest issue in this game was the Rams offensive line. It was the difference between victory and defeat, imo.
But, with the ball in hand and a chance to tie or win the game.. .the QB they spent two firsts on threw a pretty lame int.
That doesn't feel like a guy I want to give two first rounders up for.
We'll see in the playoffs.
I didn't feel great about it after seeing game after game this season with other teams as well as the Rams with teams driving down the field in that situation.
I liked it.. but I would've liked a first down a whole lot better.
