-Falcon4Ever- Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Did anyone else notice the graphic saying Our defense caller is Dan Quinn? That might explain a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovie_Lover Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Or maybe just maybe it's because our defense has some expirence and played two trash offenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Falcon4Ever- Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 It just seems the aggressiveness itself has cranked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFalconfan Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yeah, it hasn't hurt that we've faced garbage the last two weeks. But hey, I hope it instilled some much needed confidence in this young group. They definitely are doing some things better. They are growing as a unit, so there's that.

Abeasley27 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I seen that also! And also seen that it said shanny was offensive coordinator. It said the same about chip Kelly for the 9er offense. I do think it is all a culmination of experience for the young d, the bye at the right time and garbage offenses. Although since the bye we have played lights out defensively other than a few missed assignments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think that its just the young guys are getting more and more reps in the defense and the communication has improved which allow you to play faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Given the youth on D (8 of 11 starters either in their 1st or 2nd season), there is plenty of reason for optimism. But in terms of making the playoffs and making noise once there, the playmakers on D (Beasley, Neal) will need to force some turnovers. Even yesterday against a putrid offense, the middle of the field was open for a passing attack. If #88 didn't have skillets for hands, Kaepernick would have had a lot more passing yards.

QuinnTorris Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Defense is giving up only around 15(14.75 to be exact) ppg since the BYE. We haven't played stellar offenses but we are playing better considering the injuries to our defense coupled with the youth we have on that side. The real test will come against NO. I really loved the adjustments we made against AZ, KC, and SF. Out of those teams only AZ scored against us in the 2nd half, and it was in garbage time.

Monolith2001 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I don't want to be the Debbie Downer and this D is better than its stats but let's see how we play against some better O's we are not too far removed from making Alex Smith look Pro-Bowl-like (126.2 rating and almost 300 yds) in spite of the D keeping it close enough to have won.

Jesus Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Also they are getting sacks, pressure, turnovers, and scoring on turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droopy1592 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Earlier in the season we let garbage offenses stay in the game. Not close enough to win but they still put up points. Now not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewcrew Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I would guess the increased complexity with the play calling on defense has more to do with the young guys able to handle more and open the playbook more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to get pressure that way and we weren't going to let him run all day on us. I wish someone had done this in the 2012 NFCCG instead of letting him run all over us.

Well oddly enough that chiefs team has become pretty lethal with the emergence of tyreke hill and they are 10-4.. not like they suck but hey be the turd sandwich of the group.

One thing that gets lost is the fact that we are playing without Trufant, Clayborn, Ish, Shelby, Spoon, Collins. At one point on the field we had a converted center(Garland) a converted LB(Upsahaw), and a converted WR(Goodwin) on defense with 4 rookies. There are no excuses in football but fans have lofty expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
