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.
