As much as the run defense was a problem this year, a seeming constant was WRs running wide open in our secondary. Yesterday, all Love had to do was take a massive drop back so the rush couldn't get there and he would find someone wide open down field. Is this a problem with Quinn's defensive scheme or is it indicative of league wide trends?

Soft zone coverage.
Weak secondary
No pass rush
Voila!
 
I told my buddy who is a Niners fan that it felt like we were playing SF. Receivers wide open everywhere.

Soft zone defense, playing way off the ball, blown assignments, effort issues. It all adds up to the demolition that it was.
 
Could it be we missed the Malik Hooker pure deep safety, feild general effect, expeirience.

Face it Kearse, Wilson are in the box hit men, dont see thing developing like Hookers years of last resort can.

I'm not an Xs and Os guy, but can you play off ball if you are playing zone?

A mobile strong armed QB killed us. The strange part was that by the time they were 27-0 up, we'd only conceded something like 34 rushing yards (for something like 3 yards per). At that point it was game over.
 
All pro diggs gets the same thing
I do think the injury will actually benefit Diggs in his negotiations...many will point to his absence as the reason for the games where we all witnessed wide open WRs but I think they it would have still happened if he was there.

Yes. Which is why Quinn must go. Shanahan owns Quinn and clearly had given all other coaches from his coaching tree the blue print.

Diggs already signed a fat extension though so he's safe.
 
Yeah that was bizarre, the scheme was completely blown up on every series.

Diggs signed a massive contract last offseason .

I don’t understand why he went zone heavy
