Just a question.....from watching the game again, did it feel like we used more jet motion than usual? That was my feeling watching live. I kinda chalked it up to using it to help the T and attempting to slow down that DE/LB on the side the motion was coming at. I was just wondering if my feelings were backed up by film.
It feels like this season the 49ers have used more jet motion when compared to last season. But compared to other games this season I don't know. It's funny because the 49ers rarely give it to the WR on the jet motion, yet it often accomplishes its purpose in the run game to distract box defenders.
49er WRs have a total of 4 carries this season (Kittle has one). Compared that to the Rams, who also use lots of jet motion, they have 14 carries between their WRs. Not sure if any of those are WR screens that were thrown backwards (counts as a carry in boxscore).
Maybe I was just kinda seeing it more because I had a feeling that we may see it to help with the injuries at tackle. Defenses still account for it....its a great little item for any offense. Would love to see Goodwin get one an go about 70 yards sometime this year.
