mw2noobbuster Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 As people have already said, establishing the run game is going to be the key to beating Dallas. If we're forced to pass, Jimmy is gonna get eaten alive by that OP D-line. Sustain drives and keep the ball out of Dak's hands as much as possible. Deebo and Aiyuk will expose Diggs.

About as statistically even as you can get! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I expect the 49ers fans to show up in full force the last time the 49ers went to Dallas, which I think was the 2014 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ton of us down here. If not for covid going crazy I'd be in the building. The prices for season tickets/parking at Jerry world are crazy. Cowboy fans will sell to make up for the yearly loss. Should be half red is my guess. Edited January 11, 2022 by sherm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcFinest9erFan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 31-27, US. They have guys who can pass rush(Parsons, Dlaw, Gregory and etc) which means Kyle comes out and just runs the hell out of the ball on Dallas. 40+ rush game incoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinerNation21 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 So, I’ll admit that I have not watched a single down of the Cowboys this year and really don’t know the in’s and out’s of this team outside of broad strokes stuff. So, I dug into their analytics on PFF, Pro Football Reference, Football Outsiders, and RBSDM. Some things I found interesting: Diggs as a cover corner - Not elite. But, his elite ball skills help to mask some of his coverage issues. Corners with a minimum 500 coverage snaps Penalties committed: 11 (1st) Targets: 96 (5th) Completions: (8th) Yards given up: 1,016 (1st) Y/CMP: 18.5 (1st) YAC: 425 (3rd) TDs: 5 (4th) PFF Coverage Grade: 66.7 (19th) When Diggs is in man coverage, his numbers are even worse. He’s better in zone and more of a ball hawk in zone, but still gives up a lot of yards and completions. Make no mistake, we can throw on Diggs and have success. We just can’t target him over and over again, because he will eventually make us pay. The good thing is that the 49ers don’t usually go after corners directly on the outside, so this will help to minimize Diggs a bit. YAC Bros Can Feast Mentioning Diggs' issues with giving up YAC is only a portion of the picture. According to PFF, the Cowboys have 3 of the 10 worst corners at preventing YAC. Diggs is 3rd worst, Lewis is 5th worst, and Brown is 9th worst. Their top safety, Jayron Kearse leads all safeties in YAC given up as well. As a team, DAL has given up almost 2,300 YAC yards this season. That's 4th worst in the NFL. Running the Ball According to Football Outsiders, teams that run the ball to the right side (left side of DAL D-line) have a lot of success. DAL D-Line Adjusted Line Yards Rank (Defense Perspective): Wide Right - 16th Right End - 5th Up the Middle - 6th Left End - 31st Wide Left - 27th DAL is also 19th in Stuffed Rate at 16%, which means they only stop the ball carrier at or behind the LoS 16%of the time. In comparison, the 49ers are 6th with 21%. Now, some might say that running at their right side wouldn't be a good idea, but if Trent is healthy, I feel pretty confident he can open up holes. The nice thing is that Compton, for as bad as he is in pass pro, has been upper-level elite at run blocking. So really, we should have the ability to run either direction with success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldman9er Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I feel sick every time I see Hasty about to return a KO. I'm glad SF is still in the fight. I have been hard on the team and Jimmy, but have also felt like once IN the playoff fight, truly anything can happen. Will be a fun weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
