Is there a reason Bosa is always lined up super low to the ground compared to any other DE. Just watched his brother line up in a standing position make a great run stop.

Because he doesn't slow up to make pass rush moves or change pace any, it's just straight bull rush power attack. As long as tackles anchor and hold off the initial impact he's toast

Its a this year thing. He's off. I wonder if he was hinting at what he's being asked to do this week.

This is kind of worrisome. Guys with these compact, super muscled up don't tend to stay dominant forever. Surely nick isn't cooked yet. It is crazy how he went from possibly the most disruptive player in the league to this

Joey got poor coaching too. I think the Bosa's can be productive for a long time even if he don't remain elite pass rushers forever.

I have never watched any other DE line up like that all the time. I see his brother and most DEs line up in a normal 3 point stance but not as low and stretched out as Nick and also upright 2 point stace as well depending on the situation.

This is probably his best game of the season. He got there a couple of times and quickly but burrow just throw it to wide open receivers. Can't do anything about that.

Don't pass rushers evolve with their moves? Dude just got paid, make that money worth it
BOSA is every bit the problem as WILKS has been.

BOSA has resembled a 3rd string edge rusher who cannot win 1 on 1 anymore.

Lynch paid this mfr QB money to produce like a 3rd string pass rusher. Bosa or Drake Jackson? Same output. What a freaking bum.

I know we are all frustrated but this is a mind-numbingly bad take.
Played for a contract , got paid, missed the offseason and has been mostly absent since.
Feels like Bosa is not meant for this scheme. I saw him numerous times get put on an island with the ball carrier running right by him.

Shanahan needs to send Wilks to the film room for the next two weeks and LEARN. Bosa is still the same player he has always been. Currently, he leads the league in QB hits. The difference this year is instead of playing a lot of press man, Wilks is playing a soft zone which allows the QB to get rid of the ball quicker before Bosa can finish the job.

It is hard to say if it is that matching zone or man we are seeing a lot of....whatever it is...QBs are reading it super fast, and OCs are pulling coverage out of the passing lanes at will.

I am with you.... Bosa is not the problem...dude leads the league in QB hits...he is still getting to the QB as much as anyone...

The problem is QBs know where to go with the ball VERY quickly.

How anyone can hear "best game of the season" over and over again against this defense and point at Bosa is beyond me.

Every damn week... some RB is having his best outing, or some QB is having his best outing....

The other team knows EXACTLY where and when to pick up blocks in the run game, and EXACTLY how to beat coverage.....heck it feels like they know it pre-snap most of the time.

Hell, Romo was calling it out on the actual broadcast yesterday, consistently.

This is almost comical.

so we should celebrate the fact that Bosa hits the quarterback right after he throws the touchdown pass?? He needs to get back on whatever height he was on before he got paid. Has there ever been a drop off from a defensive player of the year like we are seeing with Bosa?
