They do have a stout D-Line, but their O-Line is garbage.
It's the most overrated thing about them. Shanahan outschemes people. His O-Linemen don't outplay others, they're not that good.
Shanahan is a good coach and knows how to scheme, but he ain't going up against Bill O' Brien and Romeo Crennel here. Reid and Spags are VERY seasoned and know how to counter act schemes. They make adjustments in game and on the fly.
Those predicting the 49er's to run roughshod over this defense are idiots. There's a reason the unbeaten Pats of 2007 didn't finish unbeaten. And it wasn't the dearth of talent on that Giant's defense. They weren't elite that year but played like it when it mattered.
You'll see a similar performance on Sunday.
