I had mentioned the same thing in Greenlaw and Alexander threads. There is a trade-off.

I did a quick check of the weights of the top 5 run defenders among MLBs:

Eric Kendricks - 235
Jaylon Smith - 248
Bobby Wagner - 242
Zach Cunningham - 240
Raekwon McMillan - 242.

Of those guys, only Kendricks is in the top 10 in coverage. Though the schemes may be different, weight does play into it. All our guys, except Nzeocha (240), are under 230.

Best run D in football is Tampa Bay. Their starting LBers are White/David both are between 230-235 which is considered light. You don't have to be a monster LBer to be a great run defender. Ray Lewis was never a big LBer. Willis wasn't a mountain of a LBer either.

Guys up front on the DL need to play better in run D. The scheme is built to stop passing teams and puts strain vs the run. They need to play disciplined football and NEED to make tackles. Their was too many blown tackles last game.

We got killed in the screen game (usually we don't) Guys didn't play disciplined football on TNF.

15+ pounds may not seem like a lot but the data shows the best coverage guys are in the same weight range as the SF crew while the best run defenders pack an extra 15 pounds of muscle. Linkage.

When Willis was healthy he was 250 and ran a 4.5. That was his rare ability to be fast but have the mass to lay the wood.

Welcome back. Glad you are okay.

I have been really impressed by the interior Offensive Line play. I think the run defense is a concern, but as long as the Offensive side is putting up 28 plus points and the pass defense is lights out then this team is in good shape to win more games during the second half. I also really like the punter they drafted. As for posting on other sites, I admire your courage to have debates with other people of different fan bases.

Marvin,
I just don't believe the excuse of why you stopped writing. Be honest!

Honestly, I really enjoy talking to opposing fanbases. I've run into several other Niner fans on Seahawks, Panthers, and Browns boards.

But can't deny that its annoying every time I do post here I get posts from people who act like jealous girlfriends.

Others might do that. Personally, I don't care that you write on other posts. Just thought that you might have gotten a little sensitive to criticism on the Zone in the past.

Sorry 60s,

I missed this post before...

Nah, I'm not that fragile. I spend my time on opposing teams boards so it requires a pretty thick skin to begin with. I really enjoy that honestly because once you get through the self defense mechanism where they assume you are there to talk smack or kick them when their down after a Niner win, you get real conversations about the inner workings of those teams. You have to wade through homeristic "you guys haven't seen X before, this week is the test", but there are always a few posters who really engage and give pretty good insight into their squads. I could never get that here. We just don't pay that close attention to say the Browns or the Panthers.

I don't take issue with criticism, mainly because I don't put myself up on some pedestal. There are guys on this forum that know football Xs and Os WAY, WAY better than I do and their breakdowns of film are outstanding. I never pretended to be the foremost expert on anything. I've gotten some pretty ludicrous comments about how some poster isn't one of my "worshipers" or "cultists" or something of the kind (if you think that notion is ridiculous, imagine my reaction reading that), and that's why they feel justified just being an a$$. Never quite understand just how these threads became polarizing. Its really not important. LOL.

I started these posts a long time ago and people seemed to enjoy them so I kept going. Plain and simple. I post what I see. I certainly ain't always right, but I post it anyway. When I'm wrong I say so.

Outside of me becoming much more engaged in political conversations and spending time on opposing team boards (Seahawks being by far the most frequent as they are and have been our biggest rival), I do get tired of the bickering, the complaining, the irrational, and the jealous girlfriend BS.

The last one in particular. Its like they think I've BECOME a Seahawks fan or something. If they bothered to read those boards, they'd realize how laughable that notion is. If you think I get criticism HERE, you should see it THERE. LOL.

Anyway...nuff said. I didn't post here to rehash this conversation. I did so to talk football with anyone who has interest in doing so.

I love reading your game breakdowns Marvin. To me they're a perfect blend of information and emotion that I can take in fairly quick and get how the game went. Keep it up!

From ESPN today re the run D:

Since Week 4, the Niners are allowing 5.54 yards per carry, which is 31st in the NFL in that time.

We have allowed a few big runs, I'm wondering how our stars would be minus those, or during the 1st qtr. Either way it needs to be addressed. Carson is a big back and we don't need beast mode v2 to plow us down.

Finally, validation for what I thought I was seeing. Thanks for posting; I'm not totally insane.

Kind of speaking out of my butt, but I wonder if it's the Wide-9 formation? With our D line you would think we have the horses to stop the run.

Like I said, worried about this in the playoffs. Pats have top running attack as do most elite teams. Could be big problem if we get to NFC championship or SB.
