Who runs a defense like Baltimore then that we could grab?

Better question is who can do the most with the pieces that the 49ers currently have on defense?

There is possibly a league wide shift coming with the way BAL (and now SEA) and KC are playing. Not sure if 49ers should hop on that movement or stay with a zone dominant scheme. This will be a very interesting hire and will tell us a lot about what Kyle thinks of the defensive landscape of the NFL.

More DB focused in man than DL/zone focused, yes? Seems to be the way Ravens and Chiefs countered Shanny's offense.

There's a few things going on league wide, offensively, that gets countered by the BAL/SEA/KC schemes. All the presnap motion that many offenses now use is to confuse the pattern matching coverages that has made its way across the league - Fangio split safety schemes. Playing more man counters this.

The heavily disguised blitz schemes that those defenses use put so much pressure on the OL to have their s**t together. Like you said, it will be a shift from DL/zone heavy to CBs that can man up while scheming up exotic blitz packages. Less emphasis on DLman that can win 1v1, more on the DC to understand and break pass protection schemes.

I don't know of we want that personality and would Bosa play OLB in his 3-4?

Im guessing they have a clear candidate in mind but will need to do some interviews. I think Rivera is a good option but wouldn't be surprised if it was some obscure assistant from the Baltimore, KC, Cleveland or even Houston defensive staffs.

One name I'll throw out there is Brandon Lynch, the CB coach of the Browns. He's a former NFL player, has been coaching for over a decade between college and the NFL and already had a few DC interviews. He's a pretty intense dude that is more on the level of coaches like Saleh and Ryans in terms of his demeanor.

Based on this, I'm thinking we could see someone from Baltimore or KC staff rather than a known name get hired.

I read that he interviewed for Titan's DC opening. Seems intriguing. Pulled this from the interwebs:

"In his first season at the helm of the cornerbacks room, Cleveland's defense finished first in total yards and passing yards allowed."

Talented nickel and and boundary corner. We have the Boundary corners we need to fill the nickel.
