With the 49er defensive line playing in top shape, challenges still seem to come one after another. After holding the last two opponents too few points, the 49ers defense will have their work cut out for them this weekend, when they face the Minnesota Vikings.
Minnesota will try and run and pass all over the 9er defense on Sunday, due to the fact that they have two of the leagues most sought after offensive players, being Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre. Peterson is known for dominating the run game and Favre is looked at one of NFL's greats, partly because of the way that he plays with heart and muscle, as well as takes risks, that can make or break him and his team.
The Forty Niners need to stop the offensive line from opening up holes for Adrian to break through and bring as much pressure onto Brett Favre as possible. By doing this it will, hopefully, force Peterson to come up with alternative ways to gain yardage and will tire the offensive line. Our Defensive Backs need to add as much pressure on the Viking receivers as they can, so that Favre will be forced to take risky moves, in order to move the ball. If the 9er defense can force bad decisions on the Vikings quarterback, hold Peterson to fewer yards that he has been gaining in previous games this season and guard the Viking receivers like Gary Payton did most NBA guards, then the 9ers have a good chance in being 3-0.
I’m not too worried about our offense, after seeing them play last Sunday. However, we do need to not turn the ball over and convert drives into points.
It's a good observation on next week's game. I noticed that when you shorten 9ers there isn't an apostrophe before it. Check with Drennan and see if one is needed.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I love the picture that you added. That was a great addition to your posting.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I agree with you in all points. The niners have their work cut out for them but it will be a true test to see how good they are. And I think they will pass after a tough battle. Of course, I might be a little bias since I am a niner fan, but we're looking good this year.
In all, I enjoyed your post and I am looking forward to reading more.
With all these advertisements on billboards about how the 49ers only want winners we better start winning! Good analysis. I like the Gary Payton reference. He's one of my favorite basketball players of all time.
ReplyDeletereally liked how strong your opinion is in this. it's not just a run down of stats but more like your predictions. maybe for your next post you could say whether or not you were right.
ReplyDeleteGreat post my friend. As I said on one of your earlier posts, I am a niner fan and even though the game passed, we still look very strong and your opinion on what the team should do was very helpful. Good stuff!
