artsy 1,137 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Is anyone else nervous about our defense against their running game?? I'm starting to freak out a little....I keep having visions of old Broncos games with Shanahan (Mike) gashing our defense with Bootlegs and zone running plays. I know we stopped Henry, but that scheme was a lot different than what we're about to see Sunday. I don't have very much trust in our LBing crew to stay disciplined and make tackles at the point of attack. The 9ers scheme is based on finesse and window dressing...They get the Dline and LBs "looking" one way, and hit you quick going the other way. I'm nervous...what say you guys??

I am more concerned about their passing game. Talking heads talk like SF is all running. Not so. I think the SF offense is very good and more balanced than KC.

No. Just saying the Niners can throw it too & I think that will be their path to success. Both teams are evenly matched. Both defenses have some holes. Chiefs simply need to score more points. Going to be a shoot out. Offenses will rule this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Niners defense is a mirage. Just wait. If it's a shootout they can't keep up. FANATIC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I was thinking about their front 4. Mahomes and the chiefs have playes very good front 4s the last couple seasons and did well. Thing is mahomes and the chiefs are hot now, healthy and Mahomes has had another year if experience under his belt. We will do just fine on this game too.

I'm more concerned about OUR defense. If this was last year's team, I'd think the Chiefs could win only if they scored 40+ points. This is a different defense with a different coordinator that can adjust after the first quarter. It will be disappointing if the Niners score over 30 and the Chiefs can keep up even if they get down early. Not saying the Chiefs will win, only that they have nothing to fear. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Chiefs will go up and Niners will play from behind. Jimmy G can make some plays in the air. Mostert gets held for under 80 and we should be golden. Like Xen said , they can put up points but our pass rush will destroy Niners if we go up. Then the talk after the game will be about Chiefs front 4.... Niners D will give up points... Saints , Cards, Rams, & Seachickens shredded them.

kccrow 529 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The formula is simple as it has always been against zone rushing teams. Nnadi, Sanders, and Pennel need to play lights out at the 1-tech to hold the backside A gap and the backside DE needs to work down the line and hold contain. Early season issues had everything to do with that failing. Basically, keep Chris Jones inside playing the 3-tech so that he isn't an ever bigger liability against the run than he already is.

That’s why I said not having him against heavy rushing teams was no big deal. Saunders, Pennel and nnadi, ball out in the middle. Play jones on the end today. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'd have him on the field at all on obvious run downs. Keep him to strong side 3-tech only though. His deficiencies are best covered there, and if anything his penetration forces the cutback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chargers, Broncos and Ravens were very good defensive teams, and the Chiefs still moved the ball and made plays on them. Running the ball helped a lot, and that's one thing that surprised me. I didn't realize that the niners were kind of suspect there, but Reid knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Jones not played in the middle, he wouldn't have batted those two key passes down that basically got the stops that made all the difference. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
