According to PFF, Goodwin and Iupati are both struggling and in the negative while Alex Boone has performed the best out of the 49ers OL thus far this season. Iupati especially has done terribly in pass-blocking while Goodwin has been lousy in run-blocking. Gore has done very well in pass-blocking and Miller has done a good job in run blocking.



On defense, Asomugha has been bad in basically everything..pass coverage...run stopping, just bad all over the place. Brooks and Dorsey have been outstanding against the run while Justin Smith and Ray McDonald have been iffy. Bowman, Aldon and Justin have been the most effective when it comes to rushing the passer.

Brock, Reid and Whitner have all been solid in pass coverage while Brown and Rogers have struggled.


Wilhoite has done poorly overall.

Dorsey is playing better than Williams was, at least based on PFF's rankings.


Dahl has been bad all over the place on defense

Defensively they have been more penalized than the 49ers have. Their special teams coverage isn't very good, their pass blocking is terrible, they are very good at run blocking, their tight ends however do a terrible job of run blocking, their most effective runs are behind left and right guard.

Schaub's QB rating drops to 70 when he is blitzed, he has thrown 4 of his 6 INT's on blitzes. With no pressure on him is QB rating is 106, with pressure it goes down to 57.1

The largest chunk of their passing offense has been 10-19 yards down the middle of the field, Schaub has a QB rating of 105 when targeting that portion of the field.

Dude, I get it, you don't like stats, how many more sarcastic comments do you want to leave in this thread today?

Boldin is the only 49ers receiver in the positive, the rest are all negative with Kyle Williams the worst at a -3.7. The Indy game cost him a lot, PFF gave him a horrendous ranking for that game. Marlon Moore too, he played 23 snaps against Indy, did nothing. Williams got less than half his normal snaps against the Rams. Boldin's only really bad game was against Seattle where he got docked for not getting separation, for poor run-blocking and being hit with penalties.

So far PFF is neutral on Baldwin, he's played a total of 16 snaps so far which I imagine will increase starting this Sunday.

Some of this seems to jibe with what I've been seeing, especially with the Iupati pass rush problem. It just seems Kap has close to nothing, time-wise, to let the ball go or scramble...

I haven't put a stopwatch to it, though...

Looking at their numbers, Iupati has been average as a pass blocker other than the Seattle game where he did REALLY, REALLY bad. Against the Rams he did extremely well as a run blocker. For a lot of the guys on the offensive line, the Seattle game is still bringing them down, that was a terrible game for pretty much everyone on the OL other than Alex Boone. Goodwin however has consistently struggled to run block this season, unusual because last season he had some success run-blocking, he had a monster game the first time they played Seattle last year.


Anthony Davis had very good games pass-blocking against Green Bay and Indy, but a very bad game against Seattle and a so-so game against the Rams.



On defense, Brooks struggled against Green Bay but has been improving every single week since, he particularly was highly effective in stopping the run against Seattle. Not much of a pass rush contribution but his run defense rankings are very good.

Aldon did a good job stopping the run against Seattle, as well as in the pass rush. His entire game against Indy is neutral in almost every way, just looking at the numbers you could tell his head was not in the game.

Whitner had very good games against Seattle and the Rams but got beat up vs Indy, he'd be ranked a lot higher but he struggled against the Colts.

Carlos Rogers has been average other than getting lit up by the Colts.

Dorsey did solidly against Seattle, struggled against Indy and absolutely beasted on St Louis.

Tarell Brown was destroyed against Indy, lit up in pass coverage but he got back to business and did well against the Rams.

Vance McDonald thus far has struggled as a run blocker but he's been improving and the numbers reflect that. The Green Bay game was a disaster for him as far as run blocking is concerned but he's been steadily getting better. He did fine in pass blocking against Seattle and Indy.
