What would be a good off-season film topic?

Not Reuben Foster

How about study on our first opponent ?

His first game vs the bears to his last game vs rams. How did he improve? How much deeper did he get in the playbook??

Madden 19

Kyle's use of RBs out of the backfield. I want to understand the McKinnon contract a little more.

I'm itching to watch some film again but not sure where to focus my attention to and was looking to revive the film thread but wanted to get an idea of what we, as a community, want covered. Thanks!

Saleh's line stunts/games, etc. I think a lot of us understand the Cover3 portion of his defense, but what about his blitz packages, and 4 man stunts/twists. He'll do unorthodox stuff like a split 6 front and other things on 3rd downs. During last offseason Ahmad Brooks said there were a total of 10 playcalls on defense. Is that accurate? Once Jimmy came on board we almost forgot about the defense. It'd be cool to get some in-depth insight into the defense.

I actually got a few cutups going about how Kyle used Brieda, which can be more indicative of how he'll use Jet in the passing game. As opposed to Hyde who caught a bunch of checkdowns so it's not as interesting. I started looking at ATL film of Freeman/Coleman then realized that because they had Julio, it alters how defenses react to, and cover RBs. So I stopped watching the Kyle ATL film. If jd doesn't do this, I will, but after the draft excitement, during the real dead portion of the offseason (June/July).

That would be a real drag.

Jimmy because it also gives us insight into Kyle's play calling, which is just as fun.

...and talk about how it's about to expand after this off season with Jimmy fully up to speed.

Great effing call.

I agree. There were a number of times last season where I was like, "what was that?"

It's true, if there's a big development in defense with the draft, that will be a fun topic for speculation.

One of the outstanding questions I have: as one considers the teams we're about to play, how much of their playing style from their past season can we expect to be similar with this new season? The Vikings seem like a great example of a head-scratcher, with a new OC and quarterback, it would seem almost anything could happen.

I'm brand new at this site, but I really enjoy examining each team on the niners schedule and breaking down the talent match-ups, the style of play and their weaknesses.

Thanks for asking!

That's one of the reasons why the first game of the year can be so difficult to tell how well the season will go. In JH last year we beat the Cowboys pretty handily and looked great and like we were on another run, then went 7-8. JT's year we whooped the Vikings and looked great - then went 4-11. Chip's year we manhandled the Rams week one and then went 1-14.
