I love our defense, but we have a history of giving up down and long distance, or going into pretty poorly performing prevent defenses. I think those work when you know you can bring pressure against a less mobile QB and force the early throw to keep those completions well short of the sticks, but we give up to many 3rd and longs or 4th and longs. We have a good solid defense, just think they are just a few pieces away from being great... a healthy White playing again at an elite level and Elam coming on would help. Getting a well-rested Von back down the stretch would be gravy too.

I was wondering how Miami got outside on that one long gainer play with the wide split DL alignment the 49ers had. Turns out that reach block on the edge was a grab and hold block and the flags flew. Some good things that Frazier can pick up from this game I think defending McDaniel tendencies with different personnel alignments.

Use Hill and Waddle to run off the defense and create a 15 yard cushion with safeties trying to keep them in front of them and hit the soft zone in between OR run another receiver underneath the space he creates and try to hit him. It is all predicated on having the speed on the boundary to force defenses to yield all that space.
