Bobby BonesHOST
But man, they were so good.
Bobby BonesHOST
And R- Raheem Morris is great calling the defense.
Bobby BonesHOST
We, you know, we have Saleh here now.
Bobby BonesHOST
He was great calling the defense there, but he didn't have the, the personnel, 'cause they were all in the frigging hospital, laid up.
Bobby BonesHOST
The aging roster, like how old are they going to...
Bobby BonesHOST
But man, they were so good, and R- Raheem Morris is great calling the defense.
Bobby BonesHOST
We, you know, we have Saleh here now.
Bobby BonesHOST
He was great calling the defense there, but he didn't have the, the personnel, 'cause they were all in the freaking hospital, laid up.
Brian PeacockHOST
Guess what? Niners best was better, uh, not only on that play, but on the day.
Nicholas WinklerGUEST
Yeah, Raheem Morris was like, "All right, what else you got?"
Brian PeacockHOST
[laughs]
Nicholas WinklerGUEST
Um, so [laughs] number two was the kickoff to start the second half.
Brian PeacockHOST
And, and maybe those guys won't stay healthy all year.
Brian PeacockHOST
That, that's part of being old.
Brian PeacockHOST
But, um, when you have those guys, and as good as Kyle Shanahan is, and Raheem Morris, I think, is clearly looked like a good coordinator so far [laughs] through one game, uh, Niners are gonna be trouble for a lot of teams.
Nicholas WinklerGUEST
Yeah, you hold a super team to seven points.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
who hasn't developed in the NFL.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
Could it have been the system of what he played in Cincinnati? And now you get him in Chris Kocerek and Raheem Morris' defense, and all of a sudden he elevates his game.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
Yes, I think that's a possibility.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
I also think when you look at what the 49ers currently have along the defensive line, he adds some variety.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
Now, he played a lot of 5-tech or 4-I defensive end in a 3-4 defense, especially when he played for Pittsburgh.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
And so it's a little bit different.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
Now, with some of the defensive style that Raheem Morris has been going to, Larry Ogunjobi makes sense, especially playing some of that 4-I defensive end when they go to their 3-4 looks.
Anthony RobertsonHOST
But this is a guy that's been able to produce when it comes to sack numbers.
Larry KruegerHOST
Against the Rams, the Niners had the fourth best defensive per dropback, defensive EPA per dropback in week one, 0.28.
Larry KruegerHOST
So you got to be really happy with Raheem Morris.
Larry KruegerHOST
Raheem Morris called basically two high defenses on 51.7% of all the dropbacks.
Larry KruegerHOST
They played dime on 14%.
Larry KruegerHOST
They played some cover six.
Larry KruegerHOST
They made Stafford pause at the top of his drop just a little, just enough to get a little bit of an advantage there.
Larry KruegerHOST
The Niners had eight pressures or eight quarterback hits and 14 total pressures, I believe, on Stafford.
Larry KruegerHOST
So, you know what? 49ers defense Raheem Morris.
Larry KruegerHOST
And all of a sudden, it was like, man, it really felt like the 49ers owned own the Rams.
Larry KruegerHOST
But what did you think of Raheem Morris? What'd you think of, of the Niners offense against this Rams defense? Were you surprised that the Rams came out in a straight, you know, four to five nickel and just basically said to the Niners, Hey, you know, we don't think you can run on us, so we're going to play nickel and kind of dare you to run on us.
Larry KruegerHOST
And Kyle came out passing initially, right? Because I think of the first 12 plays, I think 10 were passes, something like that.
Larry KruegerHOST
So the Niners came out passing even against this nickel, but eventually they got the run game going against this Rams defense.
7 MINS LATER
Larry KruegerHOST
He was absolutely crushing people.
Larry KruegerHOST
One of the things that Gifford pointed out today I think is an interesting thing.
Larry KruegerHOST
He said that the 49er defensive scheme this year – under Raheem Morris is really an extreme departure on what the Niners have run in the past.
Larry KruegerHOST
He said, you know, the Niners have had other defensive coordinators.
Jason AponteHOST
Steph, one weekend, I'm completely convinced there's a complete different shift in the way that there's creativity and everything.
Jason AponteHOST
And I will live with whatever it is Raheem Morris dials up because he's not going to allow any of this regular stuff to continue to happen.
Jason AponteHOST
Steph, talk me out of it.
Jason AponteHOST
Raheem Morris is better than Robert Sala.
Jason AponteHOST
After one week, I already know that he's better.
Jason AponteHOST
Already after one week, I know he's better.
Steph SanchezHOST
I think that's going to be something that sticks, Jay, because yes, this is the personnel that you have to deal with, right? And if you could get your best players on the field at the same time, you're going to do it, especially in those situational spots.
Steph SanchezHOST
And yeah, I think it's going to pay off.
Damien BarlingHOST
As much as we talk about the eye test, as much as we talk about, no, they look better, you can see them being better, you still want to register numbers in that department.
Damien BarlingHOST
And I think that'll be kind of a, that'll be that waiting to exhale moment for Raheem Morris, and everybody else on the defensive side of the football because that is a stat that was talked about a lot during this offseason.
Damien BarlingHOST
Shifting from the 49ers to the Las Vegas Raiders here for a minute, if Brock Bowers returns on Sunday in L.A. versus the Chargers, how does that balance the Raiders' offensive look? Because it's not just the dropbacks to rushing split that I'm wondering about.
Damien BarlingHOST
Ashton Gentry was terrific as a pass catcher.
Derek PapaHOST
But honestly, I don't put a lot of stock into that.
Derek PapaHOST
I look at the game plan that Raheem Morris had Fred Warner taking away things and coverage as far as the tight end play.
Derek PapaHOST
So yeah, you can blame things.
Derek PapaHOST
I can also blame that Sean McVay wasn't creative with the play calling, but yeah, As far as who was the most impressive defense week one, I would say the 49ers, even though they didn't get a sack, the coverage they had in holding the Rams to seven points and how hyped up they've been this offseason, I would say the 49ers had the most impressive defensive performance of the week.
