The one time they faced a team that only really had one weapon - Green Bay and Davante Adams. And they started off with Sherman being static - but in the 4Q, they had Sherman cover Adams in shadow, and even in the slot on the last drive. Now, maybe they don't scout DEN well enough, and Sherman stays static. But given what I saw vs. GB, I think it's a much higher likelihood than when it was Sanders & Sutton. Of course, if SF stays static, then it's a much better chance for Sutton to dominate the other CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Well, we got some good news in what's been a pretty awful 3-4 days injury-wise.... with how Shanny schemes, getting as much ILB help back certainly can't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparently a sore spot with some of them (I can imagine why lol). So while it seems obvious, sounds like they won't shadow Sutton with Sherman, and Sutton will get to face CB Witherspoon a fair amount. That in theory should be our biggest plus matchup on paper, although Witherspoon's play has been better of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Well it looks like SF will get their 2 fastest WR's together - I think Pettis is their biggest weapon now, so in a way, if Goodwin somehow takes snaps away from him, that's actually a blessing for DEN's D - but I don't think that happens, I think we see Goodwin outside and Pettis in the slot more. The matchup definitely got a lot more interesting with CHJ and Sanders out now. Still, their secondary is just horrible, and our pass rush should force mistakes from Mullens...but it's probably a lot closer that the original DEN -6 on road would imply.

germ-x Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Where Kyle Shanahan has killed this team as an OC in the past is with RBs catching passes. Breida is a good runner and is out for the game, but Jeff Wilson Jr. who is their 3rd or 4th string RB had 8 catches last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that Wilson is big enough to be the main guy, any touches they give to Alf Morris only helps us - but they might give some extra touches to the 5th RB, Daye (actually, he's 6th, since it was McKinnon 1st, Breida 2nd, Mostert 3rd, Wilson Jr. 4th, Daye 5th...lol). This is still a game we should win on paper, but the gap certainly narrowed to where it's not a comfortable assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBs and TEs were his bread and butter when they shredded us 2 years ago and while they don’t have the QB or RB talent the falcons had, they have enough to give us problems.

Broncofan Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Well Tramaine Brock won’t be active so Jamar Taylor will be active. While Holmes isn’t slotted to break into the top 4, looks like he will now be active as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'd imagine Simmons is the nickel again, no way they're letting that bum Langley on the field for significant snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
