I think Cowboys will have to play safeties up and count on CB to handle their jobs. If SF can run at will, it will be a long day.

I am not peeing on a parade, but I do wonder how we are going to scheme to defend against Deebo, McCaffrey, and Mitchell. Thats a great 3 headed monster. There is a reason SF has won 11 straight.
Mistake free play from Dak . . . Keep them chasing us on the score board and force them to be 1 dimensional

If Dak plays like He did today we win

Baseball bat when they’re not looking… don’t think you can, you just hope you can contain it!

Wrong. They will probably be the toughest defense we have faced all season. Let’s not forget that just last week this team essentially laid an egg against Washington. You could say there wasn’t “much” on the line but they still looked like hot garbage.

This offense has been putting up a consistent amount of points (like at least 25+) for weeks ever since Purdy has taken over.
I'm encouraged by Dallas' performance this week, even though we have a history of beating up on crappy teams like Tampa Bay we haven't been doing it for the last 6 weeks, so it's good to see them execute and focus. Like you said though, the level of competition is stepping up this week, we need Dak and company to step up too,,, this has been our failing point in recent years.

After watching how diggs has been tackling recently, I would run deebo and mccafrey in his direction over and over again.

Nip it in the bud. Win the battle of the line of scrimmage and shut off their escape to the ends. This is where the pass defense has to earn their money and shut down Purdy.

Make Purdy beat you, 8 in the box and tackle hard.

The Dolphins were one of the hottest team in the league with the hottest offense when the Niners beat them though. And they had Tua healthy at that time. They were 8-3.
I said it was a good win but the Dolphins ended up slumping.

Play Micah at linebacker. Let the DL occupy Niners' OL and give Micah a free flow to the ball carrier.

Same as in any game. CMF will just be harder to bring down but if they play with the enregy of yesterday the results are the same. When Purdy goes to pass he gonna see multiple Micah's all around him.

Toughest test for us

Here are the steps:

1. Discipline on defense, stay in your lanes and don’t be a hero. Esp DEs don’t get too far upfield or inside.
2. Sure tackling. Wrap up. Diggs to be put on notice
3. Be physical. Esp DTs have to hold their ground and collapse the pocket
4. Parsons needs to rush up the middle
5. Safeties take out Kittle
6. Don’t drop picks like we did in TB

MOST IMPORTANT: offense be able to run the ball and score to limit their possessions

Easy, huh?
