100%. I'm on-board BUT isn't that same super dominant line eating up like 48% of our cap massively underperforming? Does very good=48% cap. I love these guys. I am a 9er but they have been off for over a month.

With as banged up the Lions OL is if we can't get to JG it will be a mega failure. So much money on this DL. It's time for them to do something.

They have a backup at LG and their C is banged up but he's always banged up so it doesn't change things a whole lot. I'm sure they'll do everything they can to protect the backup LG.

49ers DL is simply going to have to be elite all game long.

Basically be what they're paid to be.

We experimented with some 5-2 schemes early in the year and had success

I wonder if we bring it back for this game

Haven't seen that 5DL front in awhile. I recall it was used more on passing downs, but that's one way to overcommit on run defense and dare DET to pass on early downs.

Man our special team coverage sucks. We give teams the average starting field position of 26 yards, which is 3rd worst in the nfl. 33% of our kick offs are returned, 5th worst in the nfl.

I wish we would boot it in the endzone more. We would give worse field position by a yard.

Its crazy. And when WE return it (unless it's deebo) guaranteed we're starting at the 15. Can't remember the last positive result

Campbell just had a press conference on NFL Network.
The dude just went over Shannys whole gameplan. Said they will shift to one side but run towards the other, or shift and will play action towards that side... Shanny better make that fool look foolish

he has like a 5 year olds understanding of kyle's offense, this is gonna be easy lol

They are all worried about stopping our run game and playaction. Watch Brock come out and carve up that crappy pass defense and hit em with the run game in the 2nd half.

The problem is that 49ers aren't a one-dimensional team. But one way to stop Kyle's run game is to have a 5 man DLine scheme out there. That's where I'd start if I was Dan Campbell.
