49ers Secondary

Yea I don't have much faith in any CB outside of Ward.

Well that answers that question.

What question? This looks more like a scheme thing today

Oliver finally paying dividends with some great plays.

Stafford got the ball out superfast!

Lenoir is the weak link despite the pick at end. We add a cb at deadline and this team is far more complete.

I agree.

I'm officially worried for the secondary, mostly CBs. Safeties played fine on first glance.

Rams really showed everyone how you attack Ward in this defense - tons of crossers and in-breaking routes across the field.

Ambry Thomas is not a starter in this league, they distrust him so much he has to play with a huge cushion every time.
Lenoir is similar, but at least Lenoir can tackle and sometimes he knows he can undercut a route.

Oliver is cool for his pseudo-SAM nickel role but he isn't really a coverage guy.

Whenever the dline cant get immediate pressure with four, the corners look like food.

Right now its a very turnover-reliant secondary that just tries to prevent the big play and maybe force a mistake or two when the opposing offense is methodically driving.

Slot CB is the weakness. Maybe Oliver can do a patch job

CONTINUE to worry because if we face a HC who can game plan around our D, then we'll all be sitting at home for the playoffs again celebrating winning the Division..

That works against all corners, especially when playing outside leverage. It's why Kyle's coaching tree is eating up the league.

Disagree. Lenoir plays those much better than Ward, when he is outside.

It was like watching college wrs vs high school dbs.
