We aren't any good all the way up the middle. DT, LB and safety. We get no pressure, trouble stopping the run unless we play the lowly Giants and miss a lot of tackles. Also doesn't help that Zimmer's scheme is bend but don't break so we give up a ton of long drives that takes the air out of the game and usually end in points. Sure, we made NY kick FGs last night but they dominated TOP. Converting a ton of 3rd downs that would have resulted in punts. A microcosm of the Niners playoff game in 2023. Yes, we didn't give up a ton of points but SF scored on seemingly every possession but a few and had long, time consuming drives.
This defense made Danie Jones look extremely efficient. There were a few dropped passes where if NY caught it, easily could have been a loss. That defensive effort didn't give me any confidence moving forward. Now add in Parsons and DLaw will miss multiple games.
