Week 1 @CHI coaches film analysis thread

I do feel one thing that really flies under the radar and why Lance might not get the hook for Jimmy as quick as people might think is his influence on the run game. One of the positives that Lance has over Jimmy is the fact he's a threat to run will further pressure defenses and make the rushing attack that much more lethal. And for a guy that would be estatic to run the ball 40 times and win games that advantage can't really be understated.

I've always felt that, and have been saying since he was drafted, that was the biggest reason we drafted him.

I'm not a fan of Lance's running style. He is too stiff to make guys miss and not as physically imposing as Newton or Allen. There were several moments where he could've been injured. (On one run Smith jumped during the tackle and deliberately landed with his full body weight on him trying to slam his head into the ground. That should've been a flag, btw.)
Mobility-wise (edit: his physical skillset that is) he really seems a lot like Mahomes, so his impact is more in comparison to Garoppolo's non-impact on the running game.

Another excellent video jd. I really like how you let the play play through in its entirety then wind it back and break it down. I've seen some vids where the analyst never allows for the play to fully go through without a bunch of stop and starts, and it's frustrating.

Defensively, did it seem like the 49ers rushed with discipline? On the Huf INT, what coverage was that? If that was C3, and Huf was the weak side curl/flat then that is an absolute amazing play. He saw that there was no threat to the flat so he kinda robbed the area behind Greenlaw? (weak side Hook defender). I other words, if that was C3, then he kinda freelanced, knowing there wasn't a threat going to the flat.

That's a buzz Mable. You can see Moseley in man and C3 on the other side.

Greenlaw would then be tasked with matching the #2 on that side. The RB stayed in so Greenlaw drops in more of a spy. That's what Fields never saw. He saw Greenlaw dropped but didn't recognize it as Mable coverage and I don't think he ever saw Huf who was the hook/curl

This so much. Video formatted very well, JD.

Ohhh ok got it. Huf was the Hook and it was Greenlaw who didn't go to the flat. Makes sense.

That play is a great example of why keeping in an additional blocker (the RB) hurts the offense's ability to move zone defenders. If the RB goes to the flat, Greenlaw follows the RB, and Huf can't hang back the way he did.

Yeah or give Fields a more defined look. From his vantage point, he saw Greenlaw and Warner drop over the middle and so he wasn't even thinking about Hugunga there.

Film confirms jonnydel what we saw at the game. Met Chapman at the tailgate party. Discipline, execution.

Same story in most of the losses. Team has to stop beating themselves so damn much.

Absolutely fantastic sir. Just subscribed to the channel. Looking forward to the rest of your vids this season.

way to go, JD. Fantasmagorical! Thanks for going over the OL and blocks, missed blocks and then watching them get repeated. When watching live, there were some missed blocks , missed opportunities, but man it was everybody missing blocks, including WRs, et al.

On D it was obvious we hammered them in 1st half, but then penalties and mistakes kept us from scoring. In 2nd half, i never really got he feel for what went south, but no question the Pettis play stuck a dagger in our heart. We have all talked up our LBs, but that play….that one really hurt…and wouldn't you know, it was pettis. Jeez.

Great job JD, and many thanks. We all know how hard you work and truly appreciate all your efforts. Many thanks.

Thanks, Doc. I've always appreciated you a ton! You're one of the good ones.
