"Big Play" Dre Greenlaw-OLB-Arkansas is a 49er

This guy and Warner help set the tone on defense. Greenlaw hits hard and other teams feel it, but he's smart about it by not spearing guys helmet-to-helmet. He also seems to be doing a better job of controlling his violent play and not getting personal foul penalties like he's had a few times in the past.

Hope his injury isn't bad/lingering.
He was playing injured. I saw one time it looked like he tried to tackle a guy without using is right arm. It's got to show up on film.

Was at the last game. Dre was a warrior out there and looked like he was playing at 50% from the start. Respect goes out to him for playing.
This is one of the players that needs the bye the most

Why does Wilks have Greenlaw covering deep over Warner?? Every time the QB, Cousins and Burrow see this it's an automatic pass and catch.

Wilks is the George Costanza of DCs, constantly doing the opposite of what anyone else would.

If Greenlaw was so badly hurt that painkilling shots didn't even help, the dude shouldn't have been out there. At some point you have to protect the guys from themselves. Sounds like Shanahan admitted as much today.

What does that even mean? Niners unlike other teams don't have a dime package so they play 4-2-5 on passing downs.

This means Greenlaw Oliver and Warner are in coverage if teams go 4-5 WR set.

From there, teams can manipulate coverages so they get favorable matchups against Oliver and a hobbled Greenlaw.

I saw in both the Cincy and Vikings game plenty of those bunch formations with zero RB/TEs and those drove the defense nuts.

Team only had 4 healthy corners, but they should've utilized them all instead of letting themselves get easily manipulated.

The Boom Box needs to play the whole game.
Moron
He's been doing this all season long getting unnecessary roughness calls at the end of plays and now he even got ejected from a game. Dude needs a talking to on keeping his cool.
