[St. Patty's Fire]

49ers fans really thinking they’re just gonna blow our d line off the LOS

Chiefs D line is beefy, beefier and nastier than Green Bay. I’ve said it a bunch but Green Bay didn’t show up. Tons of soft, low effort, business decision type plays all over the field on defense.

And Spags is going to have his guys coached up to be ready for all the shifts and motions. 9ers motion on basically every play, often multiple times. It’s a big part of how they create leverage in the blocking game, and another aspect of it is that they can make similar pass concepts look entirely different pre snap. I’m 110% sure Spags is going to have a strategy to counteract this. The Packers didn’t look remotely ready for it. Obviously they can’t be prepared for every motion on every play, but on key downs I know that Spags and co will be able to glean tendencies, especially as the game goes on.

The Niners will get their wins on offense, but I think they’re going to have to abandon the running game at some point. And that’s when the defense can really eat.
