LB's are impacting the run defense

When the DL does a good job keeping OL from getting to the 2nd level, the LBs typically have a good game.

As it should , I was referring to this in last week’s discussion.

At least they finally showed up. They have been pretty absent this season

Astute observation. In their 3 wins they have given up 13 points total but the LB's have nothing to do with it. Solid take

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Yeah, the d-line really played their keys this game which helped the LBs.

I saw that play from Clark yesterday and said to myself that is his best play for him snice he’s been starting.

Problem with niners is that they stress you a lot with misdirection and that 1 second of hesitation is enough for them to get 5-6 yards

 

[CowboyRoy]

Yep, they actually decided to show up this week. Last week they were asleep.

Did you actually watch those clips?

In the second one there was an untouched OL straight to the second level on both of them lol

McCaffrey is soo good its ridiculous. And when they get inside the 5 they get in running the football. Either by McCaffrey or Deebo. Aiyuk is great at beating single coverage. Oline blocks great and gives Purdy all the time he needs and opens holes. Thier coach is a great play caller.

They have given 13 points in 3 wins because the defensive line was wrecking the QB's nerves. The LB's had little to do with that. Up until yesterday, they have practically invisible. Just because the defense as a whole is playing well, doesnt mean that everyone on the defensive is.

Our defense is good enough to stop them enough if we stay disciplined and we can win if our offense can put up some points. I bet McCarthy is holding a few tricks up his sleeve for this game

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Well they better show up and show out this week cuz this is when the rubber meets the road. Put up or shut up. Yeah, it's only one game, but it will define them for the rest of the season.

 

[Adiba1977]

Need get better lb. Ones we got ain’t good. Most teams have better ones. I need speed and violence.

 

[JeffInDC]

It’s AMAZING how simple the game is on D when they maintain their gap integrity - when they play hard and AREN’T sack chasing, they are a COMPLETE D. That first clip of Clarke making the play showed just how Kearse sealed the edge.

 

[nightrain]

I am concerned with Kearse. Something isn't right with him.

Did you actually read what I typed? Where I specifically said, "typically". Did you watch the other clip where Osa was engaged with OL and Clark was freed up to make the tackle behind the LOS?

They actuallly did it last year. Not sure we can do it two games in a row.

Yes. Shannahan’s play calling is very good. That’s what worries me the most. We have the athletes to match theirs. I think he’s the X factor
