If we jump ahead of them early, 49ers will start pinning their ears back and the sacks should come.
Exactly. You have to limit big plays, force them to have long sustained drives. I imagine they will have some success moving the ball, but you just need as many 3rd and longs as possible early on. Stuff the run on first, force an incomplete on second, and then make Goff come up with a play.
If you can get an early lead and can get them leaning more one dimensional, its going to be a real tough ask for Goff.
