That's KB. You can always tell KB by his knee high white socks.

True

jd, really nice breakdown of this play in your video. Whether the disguise look is more because of two weeks of practice, or Tartt is back, it really helps the coverage be more effective. I also love it when pattern matching is done right.
You can see Warner signal to Ward to sort things out presnap.

A pass he never should of thrown.

Bad decision. We didn't have anything to hold kendricks underneath and Jimmy thought he could squeeze it on over him

yep, no vertical stretch

Yup. Here's that play. Versus Cover3, the Dig is open if the underneath defenders to that side of the field are occupied, and prevented from gaining depth - vertically stretched.
MIN trying to disguise, late to show their coverage with one safety lined up over Kittle, the other waiting for the snap to rotate to the middle of the field.


There's no playaction on this play, which usually helps hold the LBs near the LoS. That's fine, if there is a route to occupy the playside Hook (yellow, Kendricks). Juice runs to the flat so that will occupy the playside curl/flat defender. Mostert stays in to help pass block. So now yellow Hook is free to gain depth.


Had there been playaction, had Juice run up the middle at yellow, or had Mostert ran up the middle at Kendricks, maybe Kendricks wouldn't have gotten this deep on his zone drop and would be near the yellow star, which would free up the passing lane to Deebo.


Can't throw a Dig without putting that Hook defender in conflict.

Had bourne open for an easy gain with the Corner playing so far off

I think we are underestimating the confidence Jimmy has in his own throwing ability. Think he thought he could thread it through quick enough. He has completed many throws already where you the defender is just a hairline away from intercepting the pass.

OMG I just realized how good this play was by Ward

Good stuff as always, jd.
The interior guys for the 49ers, on both sides of the ball, played a great game. The DTs were giving up no ground defending the run. The interior OL was moving the Vikings DL. Some real old school football going on. This game showed that the 49ers are still capable of winning by pounding the rock. Although they had put up good rushing totals vs NO/BAL it seemed like they weren't dominant performances like how it was vs CAR. Juice had a good game blocking. Baldy did a nice video on how instrumental he was.

I charted all the runs to see how the 49ers attacked the MIN defense and this is what I got (RB runs only):
Outside Zone = 18 runs for 82 yards = 4.6 avg
Inside Zone = 10 runs for 39 yards = 3.9 avg
Gap/Man = 14 runs for 60 yards = 4.3 avg

yards gained per run:
OZ runs: 2,6,0,5,7,1,8,5,7,6,6,4,4,2,11,0,6,2
IZ runs: 2,3,5,4,6,7,6,0,2,4
Gap/Man: 4,10,3,4,1,2,11,2,3,8,4,5,1,2

42 runs by RBs and 25 of them went for 4 or more yards. I'll show some of my favorite runs.

The power-gap is what surprised me. I remember someone argued when I said I thought Shanny should add more power-gap vs SEA that, "Shanahan isn't going to change his scheme for one game" and I argued that it's been in the playbook since he's been here, it's just not bread and butter. I think that power-man really caught those DT's off-guard when we ran it cause more often than not, they were ready to move laterally and got pushed around pretty easily.

Like Shanny said in his presser, the only reason we didn't put up a game like CAR was because Minn's got some real talent at Safety that kept those runs from becoming explosive.

You two can NEVER leave the Webzone. Such rich content!

I really don't mind the slinging mentality. Jimmy completes so many throws where he threads it through a keyhole and more often than not it helps us win games!

Keep slinging it with no fear Jimmy!

He always comes back with a vengence too.

Yeah, I saw that. Then Shanny said in his presser he thought it was a bad decision because there was no underneath route to affect the hook defender. I agree with Shanny.
You can see there was a window, albeit a tight one, but I don't think Shanahan wants to take that risk there. Jimmy is a confident guy and thinks he can get any ball into a tight window. Could he have? Maybe, but it still doesn't mean it was a good decision.

He really just needed to work the flat area on the other side of the field.

As you have been watching film this year, have you seen jimmy learning from these kind of mistakes? He is by all purposes still a 'young' qb in terms of starts. Or do you think this is just his mentality, he will take the risk if he thinks he can do it, and he is sticking with that? Basically the opposite of Captain Checkdown.

For the record, i really don't mind him slinging it as i have seen enough plays of him making some truly amazing throws. But i was curious how you think he is growing as a qb.

I'm not sure how well he's been learning, but Jimmy always seems to bounce back from interceptions with good drives.

In this game because of the game script and how effective the ground game was, Jimmy wasn't able to bounce back. I'm confident that if the game were closer and Jimmy had to throw in the second half of the game people wouldn't have such a negative view of this game from Jimmy. Unfortunately one of his last throws was the interception so that is really affecting a lot of people's opinions of Jimmy in this game.
