Oh god plz not Jimmy talk in here too. This is why I like this thread, no 49er QB talk.

Listening to interview and then rereading it, it sounds like we will be playing a 4-3FAST

How much faster can they get than a 4-3 wide 9, one gapping front, which is what they've been the past couple seasons. I don't think the DL can play any faster from a mentality perspective - their whole MO is to get upfield as quickly as possible by penetrating their assigned gap. It's the secondary and the blitzing that can be a bit more aggressive, and that's what I think Ryans is referring to when he says he wants to be more attacking and be more aggressive.

Haha, I like that name, The 4-3 fast. That's a good nickname for the wide 9.

4-3Fast I can dig it.

Jimmie Ward says that new 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans has also simplified some of the unit's calls in the quest for it to play more aggressively in 2021

Curious what this means. I feel like returning so many defensive players from last season means he wouldn't have to simplify anything and could actually build upon what's already in place.

"With the Rams, I was reading. But here, it's just attack, don't read.

"I'm gonna have to make a 180 here. Attack, and the people behind me will clean it up."

Playmaking from the safeties and the pass rush getting there are critical if we are going to pin our ears back and go for it. We have have the pieces when healthy to be game changing. I actually prefer it, I know it is boom/bust, but the bend but dont break philosophy is just a recipe for losing close games late.

I like that style too. It's more risky but can also provide more exciting plays. Those turnovers can flip the field and create quick scores.

This is a nice vid on what the Rams did last season (Tite front, two gap). It's true what Samson said. (good part starts at @ 2:20)

Wow, Thl, can we pin this? That Staley is one smart dude. 1st yr Rams DC gets him Charger HC. Not too shabby. He must be really sharp, like the Kyle of Ds.

As for the 4-3FAST, you did note which # the FAST was attached to? But i wasn't thinking the Brandon Staley D....like it was stated, not every team has a Donald that eats up two blockers nor do they have a Jalen Ramsey that absolutely takes their #1 WR out of the game. My thot was that Demeco was saying what has been noted above....we'd see more LB blitzing....or corners.

I linked the Rams video just to show what Samson was doing last season.

That is the one best vid i have seen in a long time. It is terrific...and so was the Rams D...with two 5 star players. That helped too. But i agree completely wtih your first post above. Demeco was talking (i think) about LBs/CB blitzing. We all wished we had seen more of that from Saleh. But he stayed pretty true to 4 man DL rush, straight up

oops...i miscalled Samson both Stanley and Staley. My mistakes. I'd still like to see this pinned for quick review. Watched it 6x already.

Yeah, I just wanted to say that when it comes to playing fast/aggressive, there isn't much more that the 49er DL can do than what they've already been doing the past couple seasons. It was already a penetrating, one gap front - that's what I think of when I hear "fast and aggressive", when it comes to DL play. So I can only deduce that when Ryans talks about being more fast and aggressive, that he's referring to the secondary and blitz frequency. Saleh definitely upped his blitz frequency in 2020 (compared to 2019), I wish I had numbers to back that up.

I'd like Ryans to have a gameplan specific scheme. Don't blitz because that's your identity, blitz because that's what the opposing offense will struggle with. If the opposing offense has answers/players that can beat the blitz, then don't blitz often in that game. This applies to playing zone or man, single high or two deep, etc.
