How to beat Brock Purdy and the 49ers

[Zekeats]

Blitz the living hell out of them and do so with Micah as a stand up LBer. Blitz the corners, blitz the safeties, blitz, blitz, blitz. San Fran has amazing offensive minded coaches but a lot of their plays and designs take time with a ton of play action. Blitzing disrupts play action and not 1 QB in the entire history of the NFL has every been a fan of corner and safety blitzes. We can do this, we can win this game but it will depend on how aggressive Quinn and this defense are. We will see.

Stopping the run is the Key to stopping San Fran. The Cowboys need to wrap up and and clean up their tackling. Sometimes players are too focused on knocking the ball down instead bring down the runner. If this team can make the team on dimensional then they will have greater success blitzing. They also have to be aware that he can scramble.

The 49ers are just another stepping stone to the Super Bowl.

Go Dallas!!!

Stopping the run is the Key

You are correct and their oline is really good with amazing design and a great RB and the blitz helps ruin all of that. We need to dictate what they call by sending everyone every play. Disrupt the crap out of them and their design with the blitz. Same goes for stopping the big play end arounds and playactions. I would give up a coulple screens for 20 yards to McCaffrey to ruin their normal gameplan all day.

Yes, stop the run, get a lead, force them to pass, then blitz to see if he can beat it or not. Adjust from there.

Belichick style zero blitzes work best against slow processors. Young QBs are often late to see pressure, but I haven't really seen Purdy struggle with that yet.

The key this week is stopping the run IMO. If Purdy gets into a 2nd and 4, you can't blitz him fast enough before he can pitch-and-catch a slant or screen pass. Or he'll hand off some zone-draw play that will look exactly like the quick slant Shanny showed you last drive.

Long yardage, must-throw situations are where our pass defense can really test him.

I’d say confuse him more than blitz, which should be part of that.

He seems elusive and when he flings it up there, there is somehow very often a receiver there to grab it.

Being the underdog, I’d try to throw everything at him. It’s unreal that their 3rd stringer is probably better than the other two, but that’s why championships aren’t just won on the field, but by the front office in the off-season. I need not explain the disadvantage we are at there.

Jerry and his kid couldn’t even understand the deals the SF and Phi GMs make, let alone pull them off themselves.

I totally agree. Jerry and his kid can't understand the deals that SF and PHI make because they are still confused on why those 2 GM's can't just use their draft picks correct. Hence...here the Cowboys are, no deals, no nothing...knocking on the door of the 49ers big red brick house with all their "amazing deals". While the 49ers trade their future 1st round picks for injury prone RB's, Jerry drafts stars like Pollard in the 4th round. While the Eagles waste 1st round picks on players like Jalen Reger and trade 1st round picks for AJ Brown, we just draft stars like Lamb instead. Totally agree...Jerry and his kid should be confused about the GM's of those two teams.

He is not a slow processor at all which is why he has had such success. He is a spitting image of Romo with great pocket awareness, ability to make guys miss while still looking down the field and being able to make throws. Much like Romo though the negative plays can come.

 

[Risen Star]

Yes. Pressure that hopefully leads to turnovers and maybe breaking his confidence.

The hell this is the most bizarre turnover highlight reel i've seen. Especially that one that got batted in the air lol.

LVE and Wilson roaming while sending Micah and friends...

The problem with blitzing all the time is they are only throwing 0-5 yard passes or even behind the line passes all game. I like that we played a lot of zone last night and tackled pretty well. SF gets guys 1-1 in space, and if you don’t tackle really well, they kill you physically. Too many tacklers can’t get McCaffrey or Deebo on the ground.

Sending Wilson would be such a weapon. His closing burst could cause a big play.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Not really worried about Dallas defense. They will do their thing. Give the team a chance. San Fran D against Mr. Prescott and company is what worries me.

When all else fails blitz

Score TDs and not FGs

 

[Whyjerry]

McCaffrey and Samuel are the keys to the game. Take them away and watch Purdy suck. I am sorry the guy is a smallish 7th rounder that has had it all his way. Take away his toys and punish him at every opportunity.

 

[Whyjerry]

Score TDs and not FGs

Make PATs too.

 

[Ranching]

Blitz is fairly easy to pick up if you send them regularly.....there is a time for that. Confuse the rook with front 7 stunts, control the edge and cover the RB out of the backfield.
