Week 11 Strategy Sess...............

[Judge Fudge]

To me. We need to keep Geno upright for to give him time on Offense..............

Bosa Needs to be double teamed.

On Defense we need to focus on McCaffery and Double Deebo with Spoon and Love

Keep Woolen on Kittle

Its gonna be a bloodbath

I think the Hawks can steal one in San Fran but they have to almost be perfect and with the lack of discipline this team has thats going to be VERY hard. Geno needs to understand he has more than one WR on the field. He finds a fav normally DK and locks his eyes there waiting for them to get open. Good QB's know from Prereading a defense if they need to get off their first option fast, Geno doesn't.

Turnovers again will tell the tail of this game. If Geno throws even 1 INT the chances of winning drop to almost 0.

Blitz more on Defense, when they blitz they make shit happen but they are one of the lowest blitzing teams in the NFL. Hawks have the 9th best disruptive rate in the NFL but then they can't finish the deal on the back end normally leaving WR/TE/RB wide open right when things get nasty for the QB giving then a out. Even though they are highly disruptive they Seahawks defense sack rate is ranked 22nd. Thats a HUGE drop off from where it should be. Case in point the Giants are #1 in disruptive rate and #1 in sack percentage, Hawks #9 and #22.

It all depends on what team shows up... On paper, yes... But this is a Dr Heckel and Mr Hyde team... I don't even want to pretend to know what team is going to show up for this game...

If Abe Lucas comes back, at least it's something to be excited about. Also excited to watch Knight in a starting role with a MIKE that can actually play the run.

As for the rest of the team, I'm heavily in a 'whatever' mode. I expect mistakes to happen, Bradford to get destroyed, Tomlinson/Williams putting up a mail in performance, and mistakes routinely all over the place. Seattle continues to be one of the highest penalized teams over the last decade and I don't expect much different here. Seattle can win, but as Screamin' said they have to be PERFECT, and Seattle hasn't shown that they can be that yet.

I get Dodson/Baker were not cutting it, but you spent $11M, got rid of Wagner (who is still playing at an AP2 level) who is costing $7M... and then released Brooks who costs $2.6M this year... Whatever. And that's where I'm at with Seattle right now, whatever. There's just not much to get excited about from my end. Even if they win I'll be like, "Oh okay... well, that's nice."

The coaching staff and FO needs to do something to get me inspired about this team. We have all these weapons on offense which seem horrible inconsistent, Geno getting shoved on his ass every passing down while we do this goofball at the line playcalling with this makeshift OL is just not doing it. I know it's a new coaching staff, so I'm not giving up, give it some time, I understand that - even Pete went 7-9 his first season (although there was FAR less talent on that team)... but just kind of watching these games with a 'whatever' outlook. I guess the good news is I'm saving good money on blood pressure meds.

Ball control with Walker and sustain drives keeping the niners offense off the field. Limit the stupid mistakes and Geno needs to make good decisions. If it's not there, throw the ball away. No cheap TO's.

 

[JMR]

I see nothing from this team that tells me we have anything better than your typical "any given Sunday" type chance when facing a superior opponent. We cannot run the ball. We have difficulty keeping the opponent from running the ball. We don't protect our passer well. We make lots of unforced errors on offense. I suspect it will be a long day.

I want to see if the changes made have a positive effect on the play on the field. Obviously there is pressure to correct issues, make adjustments, changes have been made, some a little surprising like cutting Dotson. Coby Bryant becoming a starter at safety, Jobe becoming the third CB and Knight starting in place of Dotson. I expect some wrinkles have been added. Going to keep an open mind and try to balance being optimistic while staying realistic about the limitation of the roster the coaching staff has to work with.

Agree... Obviously they see something in Knight to let Dodson go... They see Knight as part of their plans moving forward into '25 and are going to give him every shot possible to make it count... I'm excited to see how he responds as a full time starter...

Also with Abe Lucas returning, I think we'll need to understand that he hasn't played football in quite some time... He only played 6 games last year so it's going to take a few games for him to get his legs under him and up to the speed of his opponent... I wouldn't be surprised if they rotate him in and out of drives to take some of the load off of him out of the gate...

LoL yes it is… Geno is gonna fold like a cheap suit … 49rs are just better right now, Defensively and offensively… We have no identity other than inconsistency …

 

[Anointed One]

Looks like Kittles may not play… ESPN stated that he is, likely out

If Abe is good to go, you march him out there every snap. No more of this rotation shit. And even if he plays terrible, so what? It's not like Jerrell is any better. And if Abe is not ready to start a full game, then don't....

If it was at the beginning of season after missing 10 games, sure… Not midway thru the season with his opponents having 10 games under their belt already this season… His stamina isn’t going to be able to hold up on game 1 or 2..

At this point, you gotta wonder if Lucas could even go a full game w/o getting injured. Seems like he has to be on some kind of limited snap count until he can get through a couple games.

Well Mac already said it's going to take time for him to be 'ready'.... so it wont be surprising if they rotate him I guess.. but I could very easily see Lucas going through exactly what Fant did. Come out, start several snaps, and then out again. He and Cross were the best pass blockers in that draft, and that seems to be Grubbs MO at this point... so let's hope he found the fountain of youth.
