Niners have a complete team, gonna be tough to beat them. Feel the Niners are holding back a little. Maybe not wanting to show any more than they have to the Chiefs? One thing fore sure this will be a MUCH better SB then the last one as far entertainment , and the cheatriots not being there makes it even sweeter 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point, as several have pointed out, is that McD’s scheme is designed to defend the pass first, and can be vulnerable to the run for the same reasons that make it a tough pass D What the Hell do you want from me?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control the ball on offense and a sound defense. Niners have an excellent chance to win. Ultimately, doesn’t matter to me who wins. I am more of a Niners fan, but wouldn’t hate a Chiefs win.

I know they like their rotation but when teams caught Phillips and Liuget on the field at the same time they knew they could run. Getting Harry back will help too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Harry back will help too. That’ll help, but the unanswered questions are 1) whether Edmunds will improve vs the run, because they seem deeply committed to him at MLB 2) whether they can build a DT rotation that isn’t susceptible because I don’t see McD going to 100% Oliver/Phillips 3) defense vs screen plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be a dick about it. Dude, your answer was the sarcastic “So they are not going to put any effort into fixing that.” And when I call you on that being a non-answer because part of the issue is how they’ve built the LB corps with key draftees, you say you’ve given an answer and I’m being a “dick”?

Augie Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I don’t think the Bills are alone here as far as run D. The league went pass happy, largely due to rules. The league wants scoring and excitement (A/K/A RATINGS.) Your LB’s look more like big safety’s, you get lighter and faster to defend the pass, which opens you up to getting pounded by a power running game. The pendulum swings both ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
