Silly troll. You're going to learn all about the Chiefs entire team on Sunday. All we have is Mahomes? LOL. Oh, buddy. You're in for a treat. Of course, you won't come back and eat your crow like a good boy. You'll disappear just like all the other teams' trolls that stop in here, talk a bunch of uneducated smack and then vanish after getting their ass kicked. |
Warren Sharp was on The Ringer podcast. Pointed out that the 49ers pass rush is average on 1st and 2nd down. It’s on 3rd down where they’re something like 10ppt better than the league average (Chiefs interestingly have the second best 3rd down pass rush).
Against that, the 3rd down sack rate on Mahomes is 3.3% which is nearly the lowest in the league. Also mentioned that the 49ers are very susceptible to play action, 3 WR sets, and are 25th in red zone defense. Finally, he noted that the Chiefs defense was absolutely horrible against pre-snap motion which Shanahan is obviously going to throw at them a lot. |

Make no mistake, SF has a really good defense -- but was it on the same level of the Patriots this year? I don't think so.

It really depends on the matchup. The 49ers would match up great against the Ravens, I think, because of their speed at the second level. Against the Chiefs? The Patriots and Chargers are much better matchups because of the quality and athleticism of their secondaries, which let them play all sorts of coverages. The Patriots’ D also doesn’t have a difference-making player who is only on the field in sub packages like the 49ers do with Dee Ford. |
Here's Mike McGlinchey taking on Frank Clark...

That's exactly what I was saying yesterday w/r/t Dee Ford - does he actually make them any better or are they actually just really good on 3rd down? Moreover, their pass-rush win rate fell hard over the latter half of the season when they started playing quality teams. Meanwhile he played more snaps earlier in the season when they were playing poorer offensive lines. So again, it's going to LOOK like the pass rush was better when he was there. I'm more and more convinced that Ford is just a spurious variable and has very little direct impact on his teammates. It's simply a line that's quite good in pass rush situations, especially against teams that lack premier pass-blocking. Well okay - let's just keep being efficient on 1st and 2nd downs then. Someday I'll figure out when Nick Bosa became Reggie White in the eyes of some of these analysts. Yes, he's an AMAZING rookie. Like, among the greatest rookie seasons you'll see. But he's still just a rookie and as a player writ large, he's merely very good. We can deal with very good because our Ts are pretty damn good in their own right. |
