Against the ropes and surprised after direct defeats, the San Francisco 49ers responded with a dominant 24-16 victory over the Los Angeles Rams to keep their playoff hopes alive and get rid of discussions over a Super Bowl hangover.
From the first practice, the 49ers set the tone for Sunday’s game. Head coach Kyle Shanahan combined pitches and runs to get out of the area and score early.
San Francisco’s offensive line has been the subject of complaints in recent weeks, however, the unit combined to open paths for ball bearings and neutralize Aaron Donald’s defensive take-off. The gaps and closed wings blocked the floor downstream, allowing smugglers to accumulate yards. after receptions.
At 3-3, the 49ers still have a difficult path ahead of them before having a week 11 break. San Francisco will play 3 of its next 4 games on the road in front of groups with a combined 14-6 record. show that the 49ers live up to a festival of playoff caliber or if they are too imperfect and riddled with injuries for a return to the playoffs.
Shanahan announced that offensive part Raheem Mostert (high ankle sprain) and middle Ben Garland (calf distension) will “most likely” move to the list of injured reserves.
We’ll break down and look at the next 4 war parts of the 49ers with a preview of how they can play with the technique.
After a three-game home run, the San Francisco 49ers will return to the road on Sunday to face the New England Patriots.
The Patriots and Rams are in that they protect the pass more than the race.
New England is tied for eighth place in interceptions, which can lead Garoppolo to rely on short shots. Head coach Kyle Shanahan can control the Patriots’ 17th career defensive with the floor attack. Both concepts play in the offensive forces of the 49ers.
In Week 6, Garoppolo pitched for 268 yards, but his pins accumulated 226 yards after the catch; their attempts averaged only 4. 4 yards in the air, according to next-generation statistics. San Francisco’s ground offensive ranks 10th in the league with more than 116 yards on the court in five of six games.
Cornermen Emmanuel Moseley and Jason Verrett can take over the Patriots’ open receivers who have struggled to separate downstream. In the last outing of New England, Damiere Byrd led the team’s failures in receptions (three) and yards (38).
Another key will be quarterback Cam Newton in the pocket, it’s less dynamic throwing to the floor than moving, it’s harmful when improvising with your legs.
Kyle Shanahan will want to be more artistic if he intends to throw the ball into the Seattle Seahawks defensive unit, which ranks seventh in the face of floor attacks.
The 49ers can take a page from the Minnesota Vikings’ Fifth Week game plan, which brought 201 yards on the court in front of the Seahawks. Alexander Mattison followed Dalvin Cook (groin) in the part of the moment and ran for 112 total yards.
While Raheem Mostert is likely to head to the injured reserve, rookie runner JaMychal Hasty can handle a higher workload as he showed lightning against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, recording nine runs for 37 yards.
Hasty will most likely share the workload with Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson Jr. to keep the ball moving on the field. Shanahan may also design screens for Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh will have to find a way to disappoint Quarterback Russell Wilson, who is warm with a 19-pass landing in the league’s most sensible in five games. John Clayton of ESPN Seattle described what worked for the Vikings in the first part of their fifth-week game with the Seahawks.
“The Vikings entered a Coverage 2 scheme and had five other defenders between the defensive line and the security guards in the cover,” Clayton wrote. “That eliminated Wilson’s deep passes in the first part and forced him to throw more controls and routes. “
With that game plan, the supporters and the deep 49ers would have to take strong action against the closed wings of Seahawks Greg Olsen and Will Dissly in the box area for a defensive masterpiece.
We don’t see Field Marshal Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers on the edge, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will shake him on Sunday.
In Week 6, the Packers looked like the team that stepped aside from the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game in January. Rodgers had a lot of hits and looked for shorter passes than down shots. The Buccaneers sacked him 4 times. Green Bay allowed 158 rushing yards, a season record.
As a physical football team, the 49ers can control Packers on the field. That strategy worked for the Buccaneers in a surprising 38-10 win. Ronald Jones II ran all over Green Bay, racking up 113 yards on the court and two touchdowns. Without Raheem Mostert, as a committee, JaMychal Hasty, Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson Jr. can achieve results.
With a double canopy over Davante Adams, the 49ers would force the Packers’ offensive playmaker to beat them. Allen Lazard, the Packers’ leader in receiving yards (254), underwent abdominal muscle surgery. He’s in the wounded reserve. San Francisco can live with Rodgers shooting deep at Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who has a 50% catch rate.
San Francisco’s 49ers don’t need another shootout with the New Orleans Saints, similar to last year’s 48-46 result. Between pass coverage violations and field marshal Jimmy Garoppolo’s questionable decisions at times, the 49ers deserve to prefer a fight than a match-tracking.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees doesn’t push the ball to the field. This season, it ranks last in terms of average land yards consistent with pass attempt (5. 9). This is the result of Michael Thomas’ absence. ranked 32nd in 2019 (6. 4). San Francisco defenders can keep the action in front of them and restrict explosive plays with a forged tackle.
Kyle Shanahan walks away from the flat attack on the Saints’ sixth defense, yet wants to open the offensive a little and exploit New Orleans’ consecutive policy problems. The tight George Kittle finish can have a great day The Demario Davis linebacker and the Marcus Williams protection allowed seven touchdowns combined.
