So, if Milano is back from IR this week, do we go back to a 4-3 base defense?.... please?

 
With the 49er run game, the 4-3 defence would be a better fit than the 4-2-5. We haven’t put a lot of 4-3 on film this year, so SF would take a few possessions to adjust if we defend this way.

I am not against this but I think we have basically played one of our DBs as a LB for much of this time but used the flexibility of having a DB.

Poyer was a highly recruited baseball player and I am sure he has a good arm.

 

Apparently Hyde was also a good baseball (maybe not as good as Poyer) and basketball player, but Hyde was truly notable as a HS football QB:

"During his career, he had 165 tackles, eight interceptions and seven defended passes as a cornerback.[2] As a quarterback, he had 549 rushing attempts for 3,443 yards and 46 touchdowns and also completed 606 out of 997 passes for 7,864 yards and 65 touchdowns. Hyde broke 17 school records,[1] including those for touchdown passes in a season and a career.[3]"

 

As I recall, we have a couple guys here who saw him play QB in the State Championship game in 2007 or 2008 and remember him as good.

At a guess, Milano will be designated to return to practice this week (at best) and the Bills will see how that goes before activating him.

 

I dunno if we can go "back" to something we never much ran in the first place though....

Fun Stats:

 

49ers last three games (without Garrapolo) they have:

 

- Turned the ball over 9 times (including 5 lost fumbles!), forced 6 turnovers including 4 against the Rams

- Scored 17 points, 13 points, and 23 points

- Have rushed for 55, 49, and 115 yards

- Have allowed rushing yards against of 111, 114, and 126

- Lost to Taysom Hill

- Been outscored 81 to 53

 

 

Garappolo is not the only player that has been injured for the 49'ers. They've lost multiple key players to injury this season.

Anyone got any idea what the thinking behind these protections may be?

They have protected Harrison several weeks. Lee at least the last week. Not sure about Cox but he’s been there a couple times. Maybe they are gonna give Kumerow a spot?

I am aware.  QB is the most important position in team sports.

What’s exciting about this is we did it against some really really good offenses. 
 

1 top 5 according to DVOA (SEA) and two top 12 (LAC & ARI) in weeks 7-12. 

 

In terms of total offense (which is what you see on the graphic during the broadcast) they’re 3 of the top 5... Arizona at 2, LAC at 3 and Seattle at 5.

 

Interestingly enough we’ve faced 4 of the top 5 and 6 of the top 10 on the season. 
 

Hopefully these are permanent positive changes we are seeing!

I was really referring to last season.

But with how well Klein is playing, Edmunds, and Milano healthy-- we would finally have a decent trio of starters.

Give me Bam over Murphy. Johnson covered the flat against ekeler really well. 

That play by Johnson went under the radar. But unreal to get in flat and hold Ekeler to 3 yard gain. If he doesn’t it’s first down or more.

How much 4-3 did we play last season?  I suppose it must have been more because Zo saw a fair bit of time.  Hmm.

 

Anyway I agree, I have hopes that Klein, Edmunds, and Milano could have potential.

49ers are coming off a tough divisional game. It seems that is when let-down games happen, especially coming off a close win. But that's just my impression. 

The divisional rivalry tends to keep games close. The 49ers have the Rams number to some degree. With Mullins at QB they are limited and stopping the run is critical. Hopefully the Bills poor run D vs Pats limited passing game was a learning experience. Agree with others if Bills hit scoring average of 27 that will be enough.

Poyer also started at QB for his HS team, for two seasons.  He went to a small school but was a phenomenal athlete.

I think it was still nickel (3 DL and 3 LB). Zo just went back to his roots of being a DT. Still blows my mind that’s how he entered the league. What a body transformation.

While I think the point you’re getting at is valid, just wanted to let it be known that they did not lose to Taysom Hill. I think you googled their schedule and saw that their previous game was the Saints, but their bye was in between. That game was the one where Brees was hurt and Winston finished.

We will win but its going to be ugly, low scoring, and close.  

 

Mullens will cost them.  That guy cannot beat us.  

 

We just can't let them go ballistic running the ball.  But that's going to be their game plan.  Deebo Samuel average depth of target is like 3 yards or something.  Aiyuk is back.  Mostart.  

 

Not going to be easy.

Well Sal pointed out the Bills defense for all the rantings have taken away the number one weapon of the opposing team.  DK Metcalf, Derrick Henry, etc.  Even though we sacrificed the run against KC, we still keep Mahomes completely in check.  So I expect they will try and stop the run so once one dimensional, Mullins will be pressured and make mistakes against White, Poyer, and Hyde.  I’d love to see a few Safety blitzes with Poyer. He is so good when they make that call.  
 

The game won’t be easy, but I do expect next Tuesday we’ll be 9-3.  It. Just might be tighter than some think.
