Episode notes
INSIGHT

Weather Favors A Ground-First 49ers Plan

  • Inclement weather shifts the 49ers toward their run game and helps limit Brock Purdy's passing exposure.
  • That could neutralize Myles Garrett's pass-rush impact by shortening passing downs and increasing rushing attempts.
INSIGHT

Show Pressure To Test Sanders' Reads

  • The 49ers rarely blitz and often use cover-3 looks, so showing different pressures could confuse rookie QB Shedeur Sanders.
  • Changing pre-snap pressure cues without sending extra rushers may force Sanders into mistakes.
INSIGHT

Turnovers Mask Defensive Injuries

  • The 49ers have been opportunistic with takeaways and special teams despite injuries across their defense.
  • That turnover production has allowed SF to play ahead and make opponents more one-dimensional.
