Good article linked below on how the Patriots implemented a 6-1 defense (six on the defensive line) in the Super Bowl to bottle up the wide zone runs the Rams were famous for last year. The Rams saw that same defensive alignment against several teams this year, and their offense suffered because of it. I'm not sure if teams tried to run this against the Niners this year...but wouldn't be surprised to see it sprinkled in throughout our game. Daly knows how to deploy it - he was at NE last year.
