anybody have the numbers for who gave up the sacks?

[bvanthielriceyoung]

The individual break down of the sacks? I think Anthony Davis had atleast 3 but not sure. Chilo has to be pretty high too

 

[crash]

we gave up 9 total sacks...ill look it up

 

[Flyingiguana]

most of the sacks it was multiple ravens causing havoc. rachel completely whiffed on a few blocks.

Even V. Davis got beat last night badly

 

[xJuicex]

Collectively they were all bad. Frank Gore wiffed and 2nd guessed on some of his blocks, Peele got pushed back constantly, I remember Norris stumbling at times, and like someone said Vernon got beat a couple of times too.


It was bad.

Anthony Davis got beat on a couple of plays that made him look like the guy we were used to seeing. He got beat around the edge too easily.

Maiocco usually does a player review from the games. Look out for that, he will most likely tell it in there.

Remember that false start penalty against "the entire offensive line" earlier this year? Well, finding who's responsible for the sacks is basically the same thing. several times, I saw O linemen just standing there with nobody to block, while the pass rush poured in from the other side or around the edge, as is typical with zone blitzes. Apparently our OL needs remedial help with how to deal with DLs stunting.
Also, I noticed that any time Alex stepped up into the pocket to avoid the rush from the edge, as he's done with such success this year, he just ran right into the D linemen & LBs coming right up the middle. Atrocious job by the OL as a whole. They looked lost and helpless out there.

Re-Focused: 49ers @ Ravens, Week 12 | ProFootballFocus.com

Smith is as ever way out in front of the pack at the top of our 3-4 defensive end rankings, but McDonald is beginning to leave the rest of the league and solidify his spot out alone in second place, which is a remarkable improvement on his career baseline to date.
------------

Right-sided destruction

You probably noticed that the Ravens were able to bring a fair amount of pressure over the course of the game. The majority of the damage was done on the right side of the 49ers’ line, which was battered all day. Adam Snyder, his replacement Chilo Rachal, and underperforming 2010 first round pick Anthony Davis combined for a -9.4 grade. They allowed five of the sacks the 9ers surrendered, and a further three pressures. Davis was the biggest problem amongst the trio, surrendering three sacks on his own, all of them coming extremely quickly, preventing Alex Smith from having any real shot of making something happen in the face of the pressure. The third of the sacks he gave up, on 3rd and 8 on a crucial 4th quarter drive by the 49ers is a good example of Davis’ complete inability to deal with Terrell Suggs. Beaten more or less immediately Suggs then chases down Alex Smith out of the pocket to end the drive and the 9ers chances in the game.

its similar to pre-season when the Saints went hog wild. the O-line looked hopeless but the eventually took two steps up. that game did a lot to spark them and added a sense of urgency.

now that we're back to reality, lets try to stay positive and take another step up. this team is again seeing a sense of urgency but now against top tier D's. use this game and the Steelers game to take that next step.

if we expect to be a serious play-off team, this has to happen anyway. better now than in the play-offs.

btw - if the Ravens are simply better, fine. what we don't want to see is confusion, miscommunication, lackluster effort, not staying with blocks, etc..

Very contrary to what PFF wrote.

This is not my work so I can't vouch for its accuracy and I don't necessarily agree on every point but thought I'd post it for reference.

There has been a lot of talk back and forth about blame towards the OL and Alex. Some obviously feel both share the blame, while others feel it is primarily one or the other.

I went through some of da film again, and wanted to point out some things about the sacks, including some context. This is not a post defending Alex's play, or otherwise anyone else on the offense for that matter. I included the amount of time he had before pressure forced him to abandon the play or go down, why the sack occurred, how many rushers and an occasional opinion about what I think he could have done in that situation. I'm going to preface this stating the obvious, some of this information is subjective! The timings were based upon instant the ball leaves the center's hands, though of course there may be a +/- ~.1 to human error.

Time: 2.0 seconds
Context: Pressure from the left…evade stepping up, scramble to sideline, tackled a yard behind line of scrimmage.
Field Pos: 3rd and 3 at the 20
Rushers: 5

Time: 1.7 seconds
Context: Pressure from left, pressure up the middle, nowhere to step up.
Field Pos: 3rd and 4 at the 22
Rushers: 4

Time: 1.8 seconds
Context: Confusion in assignments, 2 defenders unblocked.
Field Pos: 3rd and 13 at own 17
Rushers: 4

Time: 3.2 seconds
Context: Decent protection, folds fast towards the end. Smith needs to make his decision to take it and run, Vernon may have been open, but the safety could have jumped route, he read that Smith could not throw to his right at that point.
Field Pos: 1st and 10 at own 25
Rushers: 5, 1 delayed

Time: 2.2 seconds
Context: Pressure comes quick from edges, but Rachal gets pushed back towards the pocket and Smith is unable to step up and throw or run.
Field Pos: 2nd and 11 at own 32
Rushers: 4

Time: 2.7 seconds
Context: Pressure from right side, 3 defenders quickly beat OL. However, in my opinion Smith could have hit Crabtree on his short route over the middle before he was sacked. Took his eyes off the field.
Field Pos: 2nd and 8 at the 35
Rushers: 5

Time: 1.8 seconds
Context: DB unblocked from right, not much Smith could do.
Field Pos: 3rd and 7 at own 31
Rushers: 4 rush, 1 stunts and then drops back to spy

Time: 1.9 seconds
Context: Pressure quickly from the right, Smith rolls to his left, tries to find someone, but the chasing defender is too quick and catches him before he throws, resulting in a sack/fumble out of bounds for a loss.
Field Pos: 3rd and 8 at own 12
Rushers: 4

Time: 2.1 seconds
Context: Smith steps up and there is pressure up the middle. In my opinion Smith could have evaded this better and made a play on the run to his right or throw it away.
Field Pos: 1st and 10 at own 31
Rushers: 4

It is important to note that from what I watched, Smith completed the majority of his passes where he had 2.5 seconds or more, excluding a few drops, 2 bad passes caused by pressure and the INT to Edwards. Overall I look back at this and see a team that left a lot on the field, and that is excluding the PI and high low block penalties. I thought the team showed a lot of promise against one of the best defenses in the league. I personally feel Smith did not play as bad as many would have made out, but as I've noted, he made some bad decisions and had a chance to make some plays he did not.
