IMO...is to play like the 49ers.

- Dak plays like Jimmy G (just more explosive). Souped up Cadillac bus driver as I still think we need the explosive plays he brings to the table for O to be at full potential. Protect the rock. Jimmy is an incredibly underrated QB.
- Explosive running game with 1/2 punch of thunder and lightning. Give me a little more Pollard than Zeke and get him involved in the passing game. (see CmC)
- Keep Lamb in motion (alot) like the 49ers do with Deebo. He had a lot of open grass last night on some of his grabs. Give him some runs too (albeit he's not as good as Deebo there).
- Heavy PA pitch and catch to the TE crew.
- Heavy pressure defense - pressures, sacks, QB hits that will lead to turnovers

I think some of our best recent wins (IND, MN, CHI) are good games to try and emulate as the blueprint moving forward.

Gotta win the trenches vs SF to beat them. Jimmy G not great but good enough, being absent will hurt them though.

100%. Not sure we control the LOS against the run as good as their DL is but controlling it on both sides of the ball is huge for winning.

Soooooo...stop the run, run the ball?
I've been saying that for years.

If we can create just a 40 yard difference between our opponents running game and ours, our chances of winning skyrocket. So cut down on the penalties, cut down on the turnovers, and pound the rock. That's the best formula for success.

Heck yea, it all starts there and at the LOS.

Obviously some more substance after that but good foundation.
