And let's not forget that the 49ers have placed more of an emphasis on pass rush than they have on stopping the run. As we know we have signed Javon Hargrave and traded for Chase Young. Both players are known to be good pash rushers, but not as strong in the run game. In my opinion, they need to place a greater emphasis on stopping the run this offseason. I still believe they miss D.J. Jones, and probably hoped Kalia Davis would be that guy. It just hasn't happened yet. I think they should play more of Kinlaw as he is our best run stopper atm. Maybe move Armstead to LE for obvious running downs.
A line of Bosa, Hargrave, Kinlaw and Armstead is more likely to stop the run.
Chase Young is too easily blocked by WRs.
As I have said, let someone other than Kelce and Rice beat you.
i like the idea of this. We had a pretty good run D when Armstead was starting at end. At least get him in there on 1st-2nd and then rotate a fresh chase young on pass downs and armstead back inside. Kalia Davis supposed to be available so there is extra rotation help inside.
Expect a lot of jet sweeps with Chase or AA at DE.
