Scorpion Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 FirstWE DIDNT START PLAYING SOFT AFTER WE GOT A BIG LEAD. We were still trowing the ball on most 2nd and 3rd downs in 3rd and 4th QT ... I love it, usually we let the team come back by running it up the middle and trying to milk the clock but we stayed agressive and gave SF no chance for a comback. SecondWe blitz like crazy which proved that our defense can be dominating if we blitz and dont give the QB's all day to trow the ball.

FalconinPA Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Agreed!! It was good to actually not play to protect the lead. And to see the Defense bliting and applying all kinds of pressure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, it's the first time in the Mike Smith era that we kept trying to get more points on the board, and it worked! The defense got much more tired than if we ran it three times then punted while we were ahead. That was getting old and games got too close for comfort.

MilleniumFalcon Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) It was also good to face one of the worst QB's in the league in Hill... But I wanted the defense to apply some pressure and be more aggressive and they were. Edited October 12, 2009 by MilleniumFalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfoozball Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Agree that it was nice to see more of that blitzing and pressuring the QB. Also nice to see them move JA98 inside some, and get some results from that. We are fortunate, however, that Hill is not a QB that can make you pay for blitzing. Not so sure that approach would have worked as well (although it would have been nice to see them try) against Brady & co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Obviously we need to blitz to put pressure on the QB, its been proven times over and over again. We also saw that if we dont get pressure we will get owned through the air, so while blitzing is risky it gives us the best chance to win the game.

NZFalcon Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I liked our offensive play calling today, it was not run, run, pass like normal which was good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugadawg Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Granted it it is nice to see aggressive blitzing D it also helps that we knew the 49ers had no running game. If Gore would have been in the game that type of D would have been more risky. Not trying to be a buzz kill just rationalizing things.
