I just hope the O-Line can provide enough protection for the former.
Good post. Absolutely agree
It's going to be tough to figure out how to gameplan against Lance and the 49ers.
- If you stack the box, Trey is showing he has the capability to kill you deep.
- If you do the opposite and play 2 safeties high, now your front 7 has to deal with the 49ers run scheme without an extra defender in the box.
- If you play a lot of Man, that might work, but you'll need to make sure you have a dedicated Spy on Trey, because he could run.
- If you dedicate a Spy on Trey, that's one less guy to cover Juice or one of the RB's.
Add in the fact that the offense is constantly shifting, and Shanahan is good about calling against opposing defensive coordinators... it's going to be a nightmare once Trey gets going.
Agreed if the o line can hold up.
That's true.
If our o-line can't hold up, then that means it also starts limiting what Shanahan can call:
- It means Kittle and/or Juice have to stay in for pass protection.
- It means longer developing pass plays may not be available.
- It means well-called plays can get busted up.
Football's fun.
