Coaches Film Analysis: 2019 Season

I've only watched all of Jimmy's dropbacks and ARI's coverage calls were very different in the two halves. First half was all about man coverage, second half was lots of zone coverage. I'm not sure why they started to play so much zone because I felt they were having success with man coverage.

Eventually, I'd like to dig into why the 49er run game was ineffective.

My guess, they tried to stop the run game with extra guy, played man behind it. It worked. They were up 16-0, and still 16-10 going into the half. Niners playing catchup going into the 2nd half. Cards defend the passing game. Keep everything in front of them with zone.

Jimmy with quick read and quick gun. Boom!

Sounds reasonable to me. ARI's gameplan to defend the 49ers passing attack was very different comparing 1st half to 2nd half. Your reasons sound logical. Maybe ARI was scared of Kyle making halftime adjustments so they were proactive in changing things up.

Maybe they thought since the Niners struggled with the running game, Kyle may compensate with the short passing game, so Cards play more zone to defend the short passes too.

Arizona got gashed in the first half with a couple of screen plays, that might explain the change in defensive coverage.

I'm thinking Arizona saw the 8+ wr drops in the Seadderall game and wanted to duplicate what seadderall did. The problem is that AZ's db's weren't as good as Cheats db's.

Because I'm trying to get done with another video or two today I don't have time to do a full write-up. I'm working on those 2 videos plus an article for the main page, sorry guys. Only so much time in the day. But, on my next video I'll have an intro that will have a write-up type overall assessment at the beginning.

Great video as always
Did you accidentally call LT Skule, Kilgore in the video? wasn't sure if I heard right

Yeah.....I'm getting roasted on it in the comments section, lol

When I heard 'Kilgore', I thought my dumbass had clicked on a 2017 Niner breakdowns

Thanks English. I saw the vile post before it disappeared. He was so offensive and out of order. I support the ban. Nasty guy.

Nice work as usual Jonny. Much easier to watch than last weeks breakdown

The 49ers run game struggled all game to get anything going. The struggles of the run game could be attributed to inconsistent blocking from every member of the run game asked to block. It truly takes everyone to execute well to have a good run. ARI's 5 man front was stout inside and when the 49ers got out of their preferred 21 personnel, they still found no success trying to run out of 3WR sets. The 49ers tried a variety of run concepts and when they fell behind 16-0, it was time to put the ball in the air.
I'll show the 49ers first five runs of the game which went for 1, 3, 2, -1, 2.

49ers use 22 personnel vs ARI's base 3-4. The nose tackle indicates which direction the 3 DL has shifted. 49ers will run outside zone toss to the opposite side of the DL shift. This is the right thing to do, runn opposite of the DL's formational strength.


The 3tech shoves Tomlinson 3 yards into the backfield. Juice lead blocking opts to go through the B gap which is very tight due to Tomlinson being overpowered.


Coleman can't fit in the B gap, he can't follow Juice. So he looks to the A gap where Person's block has been shed and he can't hold backside pursuit.


+1

#2
49ers go with 21 personnel to run against ARI's 3-4. Mostert will run a Lead draw.


A good draw play needs to sell the pass. As pass rushers get upfield, interior run lanes open. Compare Skule's pass set to McG's. Skule takes a big kickstep to vertical set. McG jump sets, not gaining depth.


Jimmy pump fakes then hands off to Mostert. The depth of pass set between the two OTs is noticeably different. The deeper pass set the OTs can get away with, the wider the interior run lanes.


Mostert follows Juice's lead, but by the time Mostert tries the B gap, McG is shoved into it, killing the play. +3 yards on an extra effort by Mostert.

No one was getting threw that. The lane was collapsing before the RB got there. Our blockers were not going to stop the momentum of that formation.

I could tell just from watching the game live speed, that the 49ers weren't executing their blocks in the run game thats why it disappeared... so far from the video evidence i'm corrected. Appreciate the work fellas
