I like facing teams with good tackle play! They will actually trust them in 1 on 1 situations especially with an interior linemen injury.

I'm sorry but they may be getting pressures but they really aren't getting home or affecting the QB that much.

we had 2 interceptions last game. The game winning one came by forcing love to leave the pocket the first one came from a chase young pressure

we lead the NFL in interceptions and are 4th in QB hits (despite blitzing the 3rd least)

I think our pass rush needs to step up but they haven't been bad. Packers O line is top notch.

im more concerned about run D than pass rush.

If they could have prevented that 1 big run by Jones, the packers had 27 attempts for 83 yards and 0 TD's. That is less than 3.1 yards per carry. Obviously that 1 big run still counts but our run defense was nowhere near as bad as people think it was.

Yeah I think the Lions will try their best to get their run game going at the start.

If we get up early and force them to be pass happy, the game is over.

They need to generate pressure. Maybe Wilks should call up Chris Kiffin and pick his brain.

I do think stopping the run vs the Lions is the priority.

But pointing to the GB game as an example of the Niners playing the run poorly is not a good example. GB had one very good run. Otherwise they really struggled.

I thought they generated decent pressure. Obviously they didn't get sacks but they did force 2 poor passes that turned into INT's. I will take INT's over sacks any day of the week.

But aren't the Lions the 1 or 2 ranked rushing team this year?

Jackson stonewalled Aaron Donald against the Rams and they look at his backup the way we look at Moore when he has to play.

run D is a problem i think we are fine with runs down the middle but the side opposite Bosa is not good at setting the edge and those outside runs kill us

They are also down to one healthy TE on their roster.

If there's one thing pocket QBs don't like, it's pressure in their face.

if we can stop the run, Lions are toast. I think they have a respectable passing game but it's predicated off their run game. We want Goff to be in 3rd & 5+ often. that will be the best way to get them off the field.

That and Ambry thomas not being a complete dipsh!t.

Not having Ferrell on base defense will hurt, he did a pretty solid job of holding up against the run.

outside of Bosa - Ferrell was our best edge setting DE. if we make the super bowl, is it possible he comes back? or will the timeline not work?
