#49ers #Panthers Film: Bowman excellent Cover 3 play on ball to create Bethea INT on game's first throw.

Film: #49ers one of the very few true 3-4 defenses in NFL. (Most 3-4's are 4-3's with OLBs placed just tad differently.)

#Panthers Film: #49ers on 3rd-22 brought overload blitz with rotation to Quarters behind it. Underneath defenders matched up....

cont.....TE Olsen beat Bowman on out-n-up, but Newton overthrew it.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#49ers #Panthers Film: Bethea blew routine Cover 4 on Olsen 78-yd TD. Olsen inside slot seam route from spread empty.

Film: #49ers a lot of gap exchanges in base D on early downs, often involving LBs. A "moving pieces" front seven.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
Film: #49ers D very diverse with their fronts. Far from being only a 3-4.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
Film: #49ers DC O'Neil very diverse with 2nd down calls. A lot of pressure and gap exchange concepts.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#49ers Film: Whittaker 25 yds great ex. of how all the moving parts of #Panthers run game impact LBs over time. Bowman hesitant on this play
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#49ers Film: #Panthers like in WK 1 showed QB draw in 2:00. Newton 16 yds vs. man-free-lurk (lurker Reid played it poorly).
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#49ers Film: DeForest Buckner a lot to learn RE: setting up pass blockers. He's just a body in the pass rush at this point.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
Film: #49ers do a lot with locking the seam in their zone coverages. They're not a landmark zone D.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#Panthers #49ers Film: Benjamin 25 yds was tight X-iso vs. Ward man coverage in Cover 0 blitz on 3rd-7. Ward gave Benjamin the inside.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#Panthers #49ers Film: Benjamin 10-yd TD again tight X-iso vs. Ward. This time Quarters coverage, Benjamin won easily with gradual out route
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#49ers #Panthers Film: Ward travelled with Benjamin and, overall, did not play poorly. Had a bad sequence in 3rd qtr.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
Film: Based on how they're used, #49ers view Brock as their speedier, agile CB and Ward as their more physical one.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
#Panthers #49ers Film: Benjamin got Ward again for 9-yd TD. PA slant from trips slot. Benjamin size a big plus.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 20, 2016
Benoit went on to say that he thinks CB Jimmie Ward had a tough outing against the bigger WR Kelvin Benjamin, but that he believes he is fine. Benoit called Ward a physical and versatile cornerback.
#49ers #Panthers Film: Gabbert showed some anticipation on Kerley 12 yds and Torrey Smith 20 yds along field numbers.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
Film: read-option was foundational for #49ers. Snaps optioning off playside DE and backside DT.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers #Panthers Film: Smith 28-yd TD was post vs. Quarters CB Bradberry. TE route occupied the help safety.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: when Gabbert is comfortable, the ball comes out of his hand very well. An above avg. pure thrower.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: on Celek 12 yds Gabbert panicked in the pocket and created pressure, leaving a 30+ yarder on the field.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: RG Tiller plus size but not a great athlete. That can be a problem in Kelly's run game.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers #Panthers Film: Martin came in for Tiller at RG and got beat inside for sack by Lotulelei.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: #Panthers very, very little man coverage this game.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: McDonald 75-yd TD was 2x2 LOS TE corner route as part of combo called specifically....
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
cont... to beat the 3-over, 3-under zone that Panthers had been playing on majority of snaps.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: next play McDonald dropped a tremendous middle field zone void throw by Gabbert over Kuechly that had beat #Panthers Cover 6.
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#Panthers #49ers Film: Kuechly INT was on simple hook-curl zone D. If he hadn't gotten it McClain would have. Gabbert locked in on the throw
— Andy Benoit (@Andy_Benoit) September 21, 2016
#49ers Film: Torrey Smith is not good at the top of routes. Bradberry beat him soundly here a number of times, including on INT at end.
