Can't believe we've been able to go the first 2 months of the season only watching winning football! That's awesome!
Jimmy G - what's there to say but a lot. As many of you know, I've been breaking down our games since 2012. I've watched every game going back to the 2011 season.
I don't know if I've ever seen a defense throw as many different things at our quarterback as I saw the Cardinals try and do. While they were primarily in man-coverage, they tried at least 12 different coverage's against him this past game and he beat every one. They did everything. Brought 6, brought 5, brought 4, brought 3, tried zone, tried man, tried combo coverage's. Nothing worked. He had an answer for everything.

One of the best games I've seen from a niner QB. Flat out.

DEFENSE - the worry that I had during the off-season with our new wide 9 appeared. The concern I had was, would our smaller LB's be able to hold up against a power-man scheme between the tackles? The wide 9 with only 4 down lineman leaves a lot of space for the guards to get up on the LB's and with undersized LB's that can be a problem. Well, it was. It'll be interesting to see how Saleh and his position coaches address this in the next game against ARI. Do we go back to a 4-3 Under? I would believe it would be helpful. We'll see.

Well, on to the film!

Not gonna lie, reading that line made it move.

Made me flustered like Erin Andrews.

Since jd hit on all the Jimmy highlights I'll show the defensive lowlights defending the run. Yay, the fun stuff. I'll get to it tonight.

Just take what you like without the negative commentary.

I want to see LB play against the run and how Saleh may scheme to slow down Chris Carson and still keep Wide 9 pressure on Willow.

Lol, sorry, man

Great job as always with the breakdown of the games guys!!!

Drake had six runs of 8+ yards. I'll show these. It was a collective effort on the defense giving up those runs. Murray also had chunk gains on a couple zone read plays where he kept the ball. This was the first offense this season that used the zone read. The hope is the 49ers get a full week of practice to better defend them next time. I won't be showing the zone read plays.

First play of the game ARI does something the Rams also did on their first drive in the week 6 game. Wide 9 DEs are contain players at the edge. ARI puts aligns two TEs to one side and puts a wide split between the TE and the LT (C gap). A TE and a the pulling RG will lead through the C gap. Rams also forced the 49ers DEs to line up very wide to exaggerate the interior gaps then ran through them.


C gap huge as Buckner gets doubled and can't hold his ground.


RG and TE easily lead through the hole. Warner has to sniff this out and make the play.


EMann comes in aggressive and puts his nose in the pile, but that only prevents him from being able to be a second level defender.


Warner tries to tackle high.


+36

2Q 1st & 10
ARI uses the same play above and flips the formation. Notice the split between the RT and TEs.


LBs both do not respond to the pulling guard. Kwon playing a good 6 yards off the LoS.


By formation, ARI is again able to get a big C gap.


Unlike EMann above, Sherman stays in position, does not get in the mess at the line of scrimmage, and is able to be another layer of defense in case the RB gets through.


+8

Since I'm showing the six KDrake runs where he got 8+ yards consecutively, what I'm not showing right now are the runs where the 49ers made some adjustments after getting hit by the run game. I'll do that later.
3Q 2nd & 1
One of the in game tweaks was to slant the DL. Here the 49ers will have DJJones and Warner exchange gaps. The idea is for DJJones screwing up the blocking angles by switching gaps - DJJ will take the B gap, Warner the A gap.


DJJ slants to his right, into the B gap. The LG does a good job of recognizing the slant and stays in position to combo block DJJ. Warner needs to be wary that he now is an A gap player.


Warner should see the Center 4 yards upfield and stuff that A gap with aggressiveness.


Warner is slow to step up and instead waits for the RB to come to him.


+8

4Q 2nd & 2
Tartt is playing Quarters and also has the C gap. ARI will pull the RG to lead through the C gap.


Tartt is reading #2. If #2 goes out for a route, then drop to zone and make additional reads. If #2 stays in to block, Tartt is a C gap player.


Day cannot hold his ground on the double team block. Tartt sees #2 stay in to block but instead of coming up for run support, he gets depth. I don't know what he's exactly taught to do here, but if #2 stays to block, the first thought should be 'run'.


+8 Notice the recognition by Greenlaw to the pulling guard, that's good. But he can only meet the guard in the hole, someone else has to come and clean up. The zone read action allows ARI to not have to block Ford and also holds Warner on the backside because they are both afraid of Murray keeping.

4Q 2nd & 3
49ers put their strongside DE shaded over the TE instead of at 9t. ARI will run away from it with the TE leading.


ARI leaves Ford unblocked, hoping he bites on the counter action.


Crackback coming on Greenlaw. This play is designed to get to the edge. Ford crashes down and takes himself away from edge contain.


+11

4Q 1st & 10
This is the final KDrake run of 8+ yards. Draw play.


The C quickly moves to the second level. Greenlaw sees it and moves forward, Warner gains depth. Just wanted to point out how again how well Greenlaw read 'run'.


Bosa beats the LT so badly Drake runs away from Bosa and takes advantage that Armstead has gone far upfield, which is what ARI wants on a draw.


+11. KDrake beats Greenlaw to the edge.

2Q 1st & 10
It wasn't all bad as the 49ers did make some adjustments in between all those Drake runs for 8+ yards. Like the Rams game, the 49ers started to slant their DL to disrupt the blocking angles. Zone read, inside zone.
Solly aligned over the weak A gap (yellow), will slant into the strong A gap. Greenlaw (off screen) will blitz off the edge to take over as the force player so Blair can crash down the line.


Solly shown slanting in, Blair lined up at 5t is not a force player so he's allowed to crash down and disrupt.


Solly stoutly takes on the double team and holds ground, splits the double, and makes the tackle.


no gain

we basically beat our selves ... hope these get fixed! and great work from thl as hard as it was to watch again.
