he was horrible vs the rams.... blame the players.. blame jimmy.. but the delay of game penalty on 4th and 2 was on kyle and horrid.. i also recall when the game was tied... what did we do.. go away from the run and then have a delay of game.... stuff like that is on kyle and had nothing to do with the players or tartts dropped pick.. i am just saying. for the third time...... i hope he has learned if we ever get in those spots again.
The Rams gameplan was to take away the run and it worked. Kyle can only do so much
Now ask yourself this. How many times did we succeed against and how many times did we face an 8 man box in 2019?
jimmy 2019 >>> jimmy 2021
I don't disagree with that.
I would also say.
Run blocking 2019 >>> run blocking 2021
it also helped to face two playoff teams that weren't major run stoppers in Minn, GB given up 4.3 and 4.7 respectively for the season. 49ers 2021 avg per rush was 4.3, compared to 4.6 in 2019.
i feel they were even probably better in 2021, just injuries late in the season handicapped us, but didn't lose the last game for us
We had twice as many explosive runs in 2019 than we had in 2021. And twice as many rushing TD's, I believe.
Edit: we had 83 runs of 20+ yards in 2019 and 49 in 2021. The TD's were virtually the same.
