Come on man, (in my Cris Carter voice ) you know these forums are stocked full of fake ass Niner fans acting like they're fans but happy as hell when the team loses or players get hurt.
They love to predict losses and love to pick against the team and love to complain about every move the franchise makes.
Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with calling players out when they mess up, or coaches or calling out the Yorks for horrible decisions in years past and even complaining about drafting certain players, that's just part of being a fan, but if you watch close you will see at the best moments of the season, that's when these so called fans disapear, or even make excuses as to why the team won, or better yet, they predict how the team is going to fail next week.

I think there should be a thread dedicated to calling out these fake ass fans by username to shame them out of the forums completely.

All fans don't have to agree about everything and it's perfectly fine to criticize players, coaches and ownership, but when you come in and troll about and find happiness in the team losing or failing in some way, you're just acting like a piece of dog dung.

Yep.

However they do it they have to keep Jackson from getting started. If we allow him any running lanes then it will be a long day. You have to stop him before he gets started, just like the way you defend great running backs. That means the D line needs to dominate and penetrate enough to confuse them. I agree that you need to employ more of a contain rush instead of a bull rush. Surround him so he has no place to escape.

Yup...and hopefully their backup center has a long day getting bulldozed to fire at Jackson from the middle of the line.

A slow start by the defense -- like the one they had vs. Arizona -- will kill the Niners.

That's what killed the Patriots. By the time they matched the Ravens speed, the hole was too big.

That injury to their center could be huge the way DJ has been playing.

How can you find the stat where you get QB completion percentage based on which half of the field? I do not think LJ throws as well to his left!!! And I think it's a way to scheme against him... shade the coverage to the right, softer on the left and make him beat you throwing to his offside.

Lol what? The game was 24-20 going into the 4th. That's too big of a hole?

Try entering QB stats and see what comes up. Click on different sights and see if any of them have the chart that shows that. I know I've seen charts that show where the throws are and where the highest completion rate is.

Boom!!

There you have it, LJ is not as good a thrower to his left side, something to game plan on.

If you go to Pro Football Reference they have a breakdown of all his passing and rushing plays. He definitely is a better thrower to the right side and middle which makes sense for a right handed QB. His runs are really interesting. He has more to the right which are probably on option plays but most of his long runs were to the left side. I'm guessing they were some type of deception play or maybe plays where he ran away from pressure and had the entire right side open after a play designed to go to the right broke down.

LJ Passing Analysis

My Theory: the dude is not a natural passer, but rather a phenomenal athlete who has learned how to throw the ball (he is thrower and not a genuine natural passer)... a talented natural passer can make all the throws anywhere on the field, I do not think LJ is like this

This is based on his downfield passes, not the shorter passes:

1st Down = no difference, me thinks these are mainly PA and dudes are wide open so his accuracy can be off some

2nd Down = 0% incredibly piss poor, me thinks it is second and long and he is asked to get some back and teams are playing coverage on him and he isn't as effective

3rd Down = 50% also not very good, get him in third and long and he is in trouble

Strategy:
-stuff the box on 1st down to shut down the run, play Cover 1 and press so he can't run PA and get easy completions
-get him in obvious passing situation on 2nd and 3rd down and tighten coverage to his right side, make him beat you left
-play a tight quarters coverage on those obvious passing downs and make him throw the ball down the field
-edge rushers are focused on containing him in the pocket, so his only escape is between the tackles
-put JImmy Ward to spy him so he can clean up on escape from pressures
-Bosa/Ford may not get a sack but they have to keep him contained
-Buck/AA need to push and make him feel uncomfortable

KEY TO THE GAME:

It's really simple, if the Ravens were to beat us, let's see if #8 can do it w/his arm.

Saleh must come up w/the plan that would keep this guy within the pocket.. IF we don't get to sack him this weekend, so be it, but he is MOST effective when he can move around.. so the way to do it is just keep him in the pocket and put a SPY on him..

Key to this game is stuffing those zone read runs on 1st down and taking an early lead.

I love all the analysis regarding how to stop the Ravens. All we really need to know though, is that Bill Bellicheck spent a whole week dissecting Lamar, and STILL couldn't stop him.

Bellicheck had the right idea of trying to blow up the Ravens rushing attack in the backfield, but Greg Roman seemed like he was one step ahead, like he knew what BB would try and do, so he had adjustments.

Watch this video below, and save yourself from trying to over analyze. There's no way to stop the Ravens rushing attack, we just have to keep scoring in a shootout. Luckily, Skura is out...so that will play to our advantage!
