anybody watching philly dline manhandle miami? The fins were downright scared in the first half. carter == monster. They look ready for the run, lots of smart plays. Not sure were in that league this year. They stuff the inside and we have some issues there. We should shift out of the wide 9 once in a while, just to change things up.

Good points. The major differences I see are speed and depth. Niners don't have any speed off the edge of our defense. And our depth just isn't good. Givens and Kinlaw are just bodies holding the point of attack. They don't come in and make plays. Ferrell and Drake aren't making a difference at all. It's easy to kill Wilks but the overall depth and speed are real issues.

Yes, we lack speed rush. maybe gregory can help there. We can switch up our reads on base downs to be ready for draws counters screens. Riddick blew up a few of Mcdaniels delay ideas yesterday by playing run first.

I forgot where I read the article that they're trying to reteach Gregory to get low on his rush. I don't know why. I like when he stands tall. Kinda like how Garret uses different angles.

PHI DL is a beast, and I hate to say that.

YES... and fully agree.. Ganja Greggy is an 3-4 OLB by nature.. he's more like LT and DT was as a pass rusher.. you want him to make plays, he should rush the passer that way..

nevertheless, he is what he is.. a PURE PASS RUSHER.. not a true DE under 4-3.. but he can make plays!!

It depends on if you're pass or run centric. That said, there's nothing more important than protecting your QB. Protecting your QB >>>> Protecting your secondary.

But DL for me is 1B too.

Eagles were 18th in pressure rate before last nights game. Dolphins were missing half their starting O line.

QB pressures are important and the Niners do a pretty good job of doing it. I wish they would get more sacks because they not only put the offense farther back but they fire up the team and the fans if it's a home game. I expected more sacks this year but so far it hasn't happened.
