I think the pass rush is dependent on the QB they are playing against. It seems they rush more conservative with a mobile QB, trying to contain the gaps and eliminate the lanes to escape. I expect a better rush against Goff.
It does make me wonder why invest so much $ in pass rushers if they are told to protect those escape lanes. I could be war off with this thought.

i used to hope that was the case, but it doesn't matter, we still bull rush the pocket. Wilks probably calls the same damn play since he can't see from the booth

You do know he moved down to the sideline quite awhile ago

Unfortunately 10 of those sacks are from players that are injured or inactive. Only one player with double digits (Bosa at 10.5) How many of the sacks were coverage sacks? I don't know but it seems like many of them came when the QB had to hold the ball a long time. Not many where the pass rush just overwhelmed the O line. I'm not saying th D is bad because they aren't I just expected a lot more once they added Hargrave, Ferrel, Gregory and Young. These are all guys meant to help the rush.

Hargrave is living up to billing. You are typically gonna overpay on big day 1 FA signings. So while he's expensive, he delivered 7 sacks and a PB season. From interior DL that's a good season. Gregory and Young are admissions that we have an issue, and Drake didn't make the leap we probably hoped for. Drake had a hat trick week 1, and that's about it folks. Ferrell has been solid imo, he's no star player, depth ideally. Gregory and Young are meh. So you have 2 real pass rush threats. That's not terribly hard to account for, it's a lot of double on Bosa.

I just heard that the Niners are 29th in blitzing which might explain why we aren't getting even more sacks. Maybe Wilks doesn't blitz because he's not good at disguising them. When we blitz we aren't getting to the QB very often. We have 5 sacks combined from our secondary and the 3 LBs , Warner (2.5), Greenlaw (1.5) and Burks (1). That's not great results from the blitzes. I know that I see a lot of teams that bring disguised blitzes and create havoc.

What is the game plan WIlks?

Goff can be had for sacks.

Mix it up man. Stop playing man all the time in the red zone. Hire Lord Fangio as an advisor asap.

Hired by the Eagles and thank goodness for that. Certainly don't need a DC that has struggled lately to try and advise e a DC that has been better.

I think Nick Bosa already answered that and about Detriot great OL.
