Our passing offense is above average to good. But, the offensive line gives up pressure and that can mess Dalton up. The running game is terrible. The run blocking is bad. IF you take away our big plays, we'll struggle to string together 10-12 play drives.
On defense, IF we focus on stopping the run, we can probably do it...but it will open the pass up. The 49ers obviously realized that misdirection would give us issues and did it over and over and over.
On both sides of the ball, I don't think we have some innovative scheme. After seeing them play twice, I can spot tendencies in the scheme. I'm underwhelmed.
But, you won't fool teams over and over. You need to actually fundamentally block and tackle. Which we failed at.
Both lines were very hard to watch today. They just looked physically weak and overmatched, getting manhandled the entire game.
I have no idea what this team is yet, but I'm interested in seeing how they respond to this ass whipping today.
