And not a better chance to prove it than against 1 of the best quarterbacks of all time.

I would like him on Rice all game. Move Ward like a chess piece with him on Kelce at times.

One thing KC does is they grab all game on routes. Now if they put hands on you, you put hands back give em a good shove, but it throws off the timing.

Javon Hargrave was the big free agent signing in the offseason. He was great during the first half of the season but has tailed off as the season has worn on. When the 49ers signed him, we knew the run defense might suffer a little bit, but his pass-rush ability would more than make up for it. But recently, he hasn't even been that effective in getting after the quarterback. So I agree that Hargrave hasn't lived up to his billing in recent weeks. I don't know that I'd say he's a non-factor, but he needs to step up. He's one player who could have a monstrous impact on the Super Bowl.
I think the loss of Huff has weakened the run defense more than Hargrave's run play.

I think if Jaiyer plays well, he might be a difference-maker in the Superbowl. He's playing in place of Hufanga and I think he'd be great as a blitzer (run or pass) and if done right can cause some negative yardage for KC. If he blitzes well, he definitely he can affect both KC's run and Pass plays. I.e. if you are going to blitz Purdy, we'll lets blitz Patrick. Not every down, of course, but on downs that they don't expect it.

Detroit lost their starting LG and Frank Ragnow slid over on a majority of plays to help. KC has a similar quality Center with Creed Humphrey. I expect him to slide over to help Nick Allegretti. That will leave AA to go against Trey Smith. AA will have to win there by himself.

Our Edge guys should create some issues with KC's OTs on run plays where they are BAD. Much better on PP.

Bosa has a chance to really have a special game - we will need him to come through. With thuney being out, chiefs were pressured a lot more than usual. Hopefully our defense has one of its better performances and can hold KC to 24 or less.

i feel like this will be a 28-24 kind of game with us putting a ring on it 😈

Last SB vs KC, KC had two good tackles in Mitchell Schwartz and Eric Fisher. This time, it's Jawaan Taylor and Donovan Smith. Put Bosa over Taylor on passing downs and KC will be forced to give Taylor some help.

Taylor is a good, but not great, pass-protector who has been awful in run-blocking, which has never been a strength of his. According to Pro Football Focus ($), he ranks 82nd out of 90 qualified tackles in overall grade (49.1) and is tied for 38th in pass-blocking efficiency (96.5%). Both of those numbers are slight downgrades from where he was in 2022 with the Jaguars (59.5 and 98.2%).

They will have several trick plays. What was that ring around the rosy thing they did a year or two ago? I can see it but don't remember all of it. I expect that kind of trickey where possible.

Edit-ah yes:

Someone posted a gif of it yesterday. Just them having fun and punking a hapless Raiders team, lol.



Nice tackling. Thankfully we don't have that problem lately 👀

The announcement of Bill Vinovich refereeing is absolutely crushing. This guy absolutely sucks and didn't call a single hold on KC in the SB last time around. He's horrendous. And somehow I just knew he'd be the one cuz it always has to be like that.
