They've been able to hide a terrible run defense all year. They can't hide it any longer.

Yup.

That's scheme and coaching imo. We have the talent.

They're lacking that type of talent. A few of us have been making this point since the offseason.

It's pretty remarkable the DL has been able to hide the massive run defense weakness for the entire season without a single true run defending IDL on the roster sans maybe AA. 49ers basically play their base front with two guys that are natural 3 techniques. I think yesterday exposed how glaringly vulnerable we are up the middle. This scheme already puts a ton of strain on those two interior DL to hold up against a barrage of double teams, and it only exacerbates it when they're not built to take the punishment for a full game's worth of snaps.

This was an issue last offseason. I hope they address it next year. It doesn't even take much resources to do so. You can find quality run defenders on day 3.

This group is alarming.. so much invested and so little in return. This team can not stop the run.. if they had run it every play.. they probably win big.

This. I don't know that I want Wilks back even if they win the Super Bowl. Absolutely inexcusable to not be prepared for that run game.

Well he ran it earlier in the year and folks trashed the idea. And he went back to 4 man fronts. It's no way for Wilks to win with the fans at this point.

Is it worth keeping AA next year? Cost, age, and injuries aren't getting better.

I don't know, but he was not good tonight. He wasn't the only one, but sheeeeit.

Bosa was the only dude tonight that came to play.

I dont know about that.

I think it was his mis timed blitz in Minnesota that people reacted to more.
