Adding A Wide Nine Package On D Could It Work?

Jinxx13x said:
I recently saw a very interesting video on Youtube regarding how the 49ers moved away from trying to replicate the Legion of Boom defense and moved to the Wide Nine scheme. He went over the pros and cons of it and why SF was a beast using it. I know we do not have the SF defense But looking at our personal could this be effective ?

This video caught my attention for a variety of reasons - Key Takes from the video

LOB Defense

1- It stated first and foremost in the LOB defense the single high safety was one of the key ingredients among others
2- It worked for Seattle because of the talent using the scheme ! not the scheme itself which is why SF struggled using it the level of talent was not the same at the key positions !


Wide Nine Scheme - Video went into far more detail this is just quick takeaways

1- Eliminates the outside runs for the most part and funnels runs back into the teeth of the defense but LINEBACKERS must be able to read , react, and fill gaps quickly to either side and center of the DT's- Biggest Weakness if the skill at linebacker is not there, playaction and running inside can kill this scheme if the linebackers communication and read and react timing is slow.

Why i find this interesting We have a lot of talent at linebacker between Parson's , Jalen , LVE and Cox this should be a great rotation. Communication is the most important part between the linebackers in this scheme due to the fact the linebackers need to react fast to the run to plug gaps or drop back into coverage on playaction ( parsons and Cox can cover which is great ). The speed is there and from the early onset seems like Parsons is awesome at communication. With Dlaw and Gregory lining up wider gives them more room rushing and both play the run well - Biggest question can our DT's hold up in the middle to allow the Linebackers to eat ? I know we do not have the talent on the d-line like SF but could this work for us ?

2- Less stress on the safety position and gives more flexibility to drop 2 deep or place Donavan Wilson in the box to wreak havoc i think this could fit us better then trying to recreate the LOB since we do not have that all pro safety yet

3- I think we have the talent at corner to pull this off

Like every scheme this has its strengths and weaknesses. I am no expert at breaking down film or schemes seems like the guy in the video knew what he was talking about, I guess what scares me a little is after watching this video it seemed to me the key to this D is the linebacking core and their ability to read, react, and communicate i know many are down on Jalen and LVE but with the 2 new additions this could work. Yes D-line is super important also but gregory and tank might thrive here.

IF @Reality would allow me to post the link to the Youtube Video since i do not believe forum rules allow that - i will provide a link so you can see the video i just found it very interesting and just wondered what you all thought if a package utilizing the wide nine could work?

And yes i realize we do not have the San Fran Defense :muttley:

Isn't Ken Norton Jr their DC For the 9ers? I have wanted him to teach our defense for years 9ers or was it Seattle.?

I said the "Zeke is a better all around player" part was complimentary......how old are you? I'm just curious if i'm dealing with a child...because I can have a little more patience for a child lacking simple comprehension skills but there's a issue if you're an adult and doing this.

You are so caught up in your BS you can’t remember one lie to the next. lol

I gave you a list of 6 things that you agreed with and claimed they were all compliments.

That was one of them. You just aren’t smart enough to remember what you say and that you are being set up.

Are you sure you want to admit a child is running circles around you? :muttley:

How old are you?

No, no subject will be changed. I just need to know how old are you are in order to know how to properly engage in conversations with you...because this isn't working.

Don’t talk $hit and be honest. Admit when you are wrong. Simple conversation. Don’t play games and I won’t have to expose you.

No just more durable. Definitely not worth 15 million.

but you know that ain't true, nobody would take Pollard over Zeke as a blocker.

"The truth is, there is room for both. Pollard is not a better football player than Elliott, who by the way seems to be putting in the offseason work with a goal of increased elusiveness. Zeke is, and has always been, a power back."

I'm more offended i'm engaging with a child but thankfully I know you're trolling.

Like this:

Cowboyroy: I know your a big fan of Zeke

royaice: he’s overpaid but I think he is a good all around back.

instead you attacked me. I don’t like it any more than you do.

there you go hiding behind the football player thing.

pollard does most things better. Just isn’t as durable. Which is actually a theory.

I like how you care so much on a message board to "expose" someone lol. This is why i'm questioning if you're a child. An adult simply wouldn't care lol.

when you attack me, you will get it right back. You don’t like it obviously.
