Welcome to the show everyone 49ers versus dolphins upon further review. So if this is your first time checking out upon further review, it means I have went through the all 22 film. And I found some takeaways and I found some notes that I really want to talk about. And of course, I've started posting my all 22 breakdowns over on Patreon. I've been through the whole thing the all 22 film. I got to really go through it. Before I started recording. And so I'm excited to talk about the 49ers. I'm excited to talk about, you know, what I saw on film because this 49ers football team is just playing at a different level right now.

And you know, it's interesting when I see power rankings and I see teams listed ahead of the 49ers. And I'm like, are we going to do this? I know it's interesting when I see power rankings and I see teams listed ahead of the 49ers. And I'm like, are we watching the same football and I get it. The 49ers just played the Miami dolphins. But the 49ers have been in full control of every single game they've been in. They've played two hours worth of football when you're talking 60 minutes in each game. And they have basically dominated for all 60 minutes in each game. There has been no doubt in these football games. The four years have never felt even at risk at all. It has been a great performance and they've got to continue this, of course. They got to play really well against Arizona. They've got to play really well against Denver. And then you got the showdown coming up in week five with the Seattle Seahawks. And I get it. There's question marks when you're talking about injuries and things like that that are stacking for the 49ers. But make no mistake. This team is really good and they're coached extremely well.

Kyle Shane a hand where he more is in Pranboyer are doing a phenomenal job as coordinators. All three of those units have been playing well and complimentary football is a real thing. This may be the best and this is only through two weeks. So remember that this can change. Of course, but the best complimentary football we've seen as far as offense defense and special teams all being good at the same time. It's probably 2011 and Jim Harball. That team had such a really good method of complimentary football. They played really well together. And I think this 49ers team gels like that. Now there's a long way to go. That that team, you know, proved this metal throughout the season. And the 49ers are going to have to prove it this season. But I think that this is a very good football team.

This episode brought to you by FanDuel. Bandled the title sponsor of 49ers. Cut back. So the big thing that I want to talk about first is Kyle Shaynahan and Brock Purti taking advantage of personnel groupings. So when teams come out, they usually have something that determines how what players are going to have on the field and how they're going to align for the 49ers. They run more 21 personnel, which is two running backs in one tight end than any team in the NFL. So when Kyle use check and George Kiddler on the field with Christian McCaffrey. Teams usually want to play it like they want to play the run, right? They want to put these bigger bodies in. And that's exactly what Miami did. There was an emphasis. They were not going to let the 49ers rush over 170 yards like they did the week before. First Los Angeles Rams. Well, you know who else knew that? How Shaynahan. And so he came in the game and there was a emphasis on, okay, we're going to find the matchups we want. And we're going to throw the football. We feel like we have an advantage when we're in 21 personnel over you with your big bodies and extra linebackers on the field.

The little things came out in a six man look, six man pressure, a six one defense to save these. And they were going to try to put pressure on the 49ers run rushing attack and slow it down. And Kyle Shan am was like, okay, cool. We're going to throw. And Brock Purtie was willing to make sure he stayed in those plays. So for those of you who don't know, they call multiple plays in the huddle sometimes two, sometimes three. And Brock Purtie can get them into whatever play he wants. So you can run the play that's called or you can run the secondary play, which you can the first play. And that's when you see Brock Purtie do, you know, the the headphone signal that can signal to his head or to his ears. And then he gets into the next play. And we seen Brock Purtie do that a lot, especially early on the first half as they were waiting to find the personnel groupings that work best for this football team. And early on the Miami dolphins were dead set that they were going to stop the 49ers rushing attack. And so the 49ers picked them apart with the passing game.

And Brock Purtie kept finding the openings and going to who he needed to go to to Marcus Robinson, Mike Evans, Debo Samuel, the D. There's a play. I mean, the second play of the game. I think it was, yeah, it was a drop by Debo Samuel might have been the third play, but the drop by Debo Samuel that everyone will remember. If Brock Purtie would have put that ball out in front and Brock was extremely accurate in this game. But if you to put it out in front of the Debo Samuel, Debo Samuel might have house called it. He had beaten Michael Taft by a wide margin. Taft was staying inside. Debo was out there by himself. And Mike Evans had run the corner back off. It would have been Debo Samuel one on one with whoever Mike Evans was blocking. If Mike Evans makes that block, it probably would have been a touchdown. That's how close to four years were to an explosive on the first drive. But it was just precision. And they waited. And as the game progressed, the Miami Dolphins got out of that base look and the big bodies out there against the 21 personnel in the four years started going to some 12 personnel looks, which is one running back two tight ends. And when they did started seeing some nickel.

You started seeing the Miami Dolphins worried and Jeff Hathley worried about the 49ers passing attack. And as soon as they got the smaller bodies out there, the 49ers started running the football. And was it as as explosive as it was against the Rams, though what were they getting as many yards. No, they weren't. But you'll four yard carry here. Five yard carry there. It was a successful running attack. And Brock Purtie just kept coming up seeing what the defense was giving him. Look at the personnel grouping. Look at the alignment. If you had to flip the play from one side of the other as far as the rushing attack, he did that. He was in full command of this 49ers offense. And you have a situation where this is a quarterback now that's been in the system for so long. He knows what Kyle Shanahan's thinking. And so they put personnel groupings out there for a reason. You go big and we're in a 12 personnel. We're going to throw it on you because we think George Kittle and Luke Farrell and Christian McCaffrey are matchup problems for your linebackers. And if you want to come out here in a nickel set and put an extra defensive back and take one of those linebackers out. Okay, well, we like Luke Farrell and we like our wide receivers blocking your defensive backs.

We feel like we've gotten advantage in the run game. So that's what I saw early on was Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purtie working in tandem to make sure that they can make things happen for this football team. And so I really liked the plan that they had in this football game. And so I was very excited to see that now the next thing that I noticed and this one, you know, I've talked about it before is the 49ers have players that are like gravity. And Christian McCaffrey has always been one of those players that are like gravity, Debo Samuel, especially coming out of the 2021 season. It was all lies on Debo. I mean, he had gravity. He could pull defenders attention wherever he went. And you could see it from time to time with Debo. But Christian McCaffrey has gravity. And we've seen so many times that a linebacker will stick up on Christian McCaffrey. In fact, you go back to Brock Purtie's interception against Los Angeles Rams. Hey, one black is in for Christian McCaffrey. Brock Purtie's used to Christian McCaffrey, pulling that nickel up to stop him from making that play underneath and that window being open to George Kittle with Kate on black.

There's not that gravity right now, right? In this game, Mike Evans and Christian McCaffrey were like gravity. If you look at the DeMarcus Robinson big explosive play that he got hurt on. Those guys drew so much attention that no one even went with DeMarcus Robinson. In fact, if Brock Purtie had a little bit of a cleaner pocket and been able to step into that throw, DeMarcus Robinson would have walked into the end zone for a touchdown. They had a bermuda triangle around Christian McCaffrey. They were all drawing bodies. You had George Kittle doing his gravity impression that the corner was locked up on him and DeMarcus Robinson just ran from one side of the other all the way through the defense like it was nothing. These guys are pulling guys. And if you look at the McCaffrey arrow route that he ran where he got all the way down to the one yard line. It was Mike Evans that pulled the safety from the middle of the field. He's the one that held the linebackers that other hash. That is gravity. So the 49ers now have multiple players, right?

Debo was gone last year. They didn't have Mike Evans and you know, George Kittle was in and out of the light up. They had one player that drew the attention of everybody. And that was Christian McCaffrey. He was the one guy that had a gravitational pull. Now it's picked your poison. You're going to gravitate to Mike Evans. You might get beat by Christian McCaffrey. Oh, you're going to you're going to take away Evans or McCaffrey and then all of a sudden, Debo and George Kittle. They're going to be open. Okay. So you want to you're just pick your poison now. George Kittle. If he's not going to be a gravity player. If they're going to single him up, he's going to have wins. And so I thought that that was really nice to see for this football team. And we knew Mike Evans was going to have an impact. The toe tap along the sidelines was phenomenal. But he doesn't get in the in zone. There's nothing flashy about what he did when you look at the stat sheet. But that's why you got to go beyond the stat sheet. You got to look at what's going on on film. Mike Evans is a gravitational force. He's getting held there. They're trying to body him. You know, just look at what's interesting about the red zone. And I'm going to talk about the red zone in a minute. And Brock, pretty running it into the in zone for a touchdown.

Is two guys went with Kyle use check. Mike Evans got absolutely held and ended up getting away. But the four years are are able to have that happen because two guys went with you check and he's not normally a gravitational pull. But they were so concerned about him in the red zone. That four years red zone offense is phenomenal. But Evans and Christian McCaffrey being like gravity is going to make it a lot easier for everyone else on the football team. George Kittle is going to have more success. If DeMarcus Robbins was still playing, he would continue to have success. Unfortunately, he's dealing with a little bit of an injury and that's frustrating. So that's something the 49ers are going to continue to work on though is taking advantage of these looks. Okay. And a lot of times, you know, Mike Evans goes and sits down and McCaffrey's underneath and that defender comes up on McCaffrey and opens the door for Mike Evans. So I'm excited to continue to watch the gravitational pull of those two guys. Now if you're going to bet think about betting with fandal the 49ers are an eight and a half point favorite Sunday versus the Arizona Cardinals at Levi Stadium.

The 49ers are going at minus 110. The Arizona Cardinals going at minus 110. The over under for that game is going at 47 and a half the over at minus 115. The under at minus 105 or you don't want to wait for Sunday. You want to bet on the game on Thursday night. The Atlanta Falcons are visiting the Green Bay Packers and the Packers are a six and a half point favorite at home. The Packers are going at minus 102 with the Falcons are going at minus 120. The over under for that game is going at 44 and a half the over at minus 110. The under at minus 110. They're going to have lots of cool player props. They in game par lays check it out all that available betting with fandal. So let's get back to the notes. And you know, it was interesting. I said this last week and I said, hey, there's going to have to be consistency for me to kind of continue to double down on this. But I think I can double down on this. The 49ers offensive line is playing like a top five unit in the NFL between the way that they've been past blocking through the way that they have been run blocking and the past blocking has been phenomenal.

Brock Purtie has not been sacked yet this season. Now some of that is he has a capability. He moves in the pocket. He will scramble. And so he does help the offensive line out. But they're doing a really good job. They're being effective. Dominic Pune has been so effective past blocking the season. I am so excited to see Dominic Pune healthy last year. You know, you saw Dominic Pune take a step back and you wondered, is it because of the PCL injury and his knee that he suffered during the preseason. I can say with confidence now 100%. That is the case. Dominic Pune is playing extremely good football at right guard. He has looked good and consistent through two weeks. Jake Brendel might be playing the best football that he's played in his career. And he is 30 plus years old, 34, 35 years old, but he's played through two games and it's just a small sample size. But he is playing really good football. And you know, he's trying to pick up things you could see the intellectual part of the game where he's trying to slide protect and pick up blitzes.

You know, and there was one that in the first half that he called it wrong and a free rusher is coming off the edge and Brock Purtie spins out. In fact, it's the Mike Evans catch along the sidelines. And he spins out and he makes them look bad. And that's a situation where man, big Brendel gets wrong. But he wasn't wrong in his thought process when he was going through it. Like that's exactly how Chris first or would coach it is you with everybody that you were showing coming you would slide protect to the left. So, her starts the right. So I get it. But he's just looked a lot better. Trent Williams is Trent Williams. The guys just special. You know, he's a he's a bonafide first ball at Hall of Famer. And he continues to show up and show out. He only gave up one pressure in this game. In fact, the 49ers offensive tackles gave up four pressure. Total one for Trent Williams three for cold McKibits. Everybody else. Gooseg. Not giving up pressures. Honour Kobe playing good. And you know, after week one, you know, the first drive was rough. I thought that there was still some inconsistencies here and there where Conor Kobe wasn't as effective as I think that, you know, the 49ers were hoping he was going to be.

But here we go in week two and it is a different defense. Let's let's be honest. This isn't as good as the Rams. But the 49ers continued to be successful. What I loved about Conor Kobe was there was instances where you seeing every part of the game that you need to be successful. Him executed. He did a really good job past blocking. That's not really his forte, but he was able to handle it. He handled business up front. Did a good job. He got push in the running game. It wasn't every time because the first drive of the game. For years are trying to run the ball down in the red zone. And Conor Kobe got beat across his face and got a little bit of push into the backfield. So it wasn't pretty very next play. You know what he does when they're going to they're going to run the ball game with Christian McCaffrey is he absolutely washes his defender down and creates a lane for Christian McCaffrey to get into a crease and score. So you see Conor Kobe executing the things that they want. And there's more consistency behind it. This 49ers offensive line is playing as a very good cohesive unit. So I think that they are excited about what this team can do, especially around the offensive line and think about if you're going to have Brock,

you're going to have the gravity players, you know, pulling players to their way opening up windows for everybody else. And then the offensive line is going to hold Pat and allow Brock, to knock pretty the time to find those players and create lanes in the running game. This offense is going to be pretty good. Now another guy that got out there a little bit more than expected was Jacob Cowling, especially after the injury to Marcus Robinson, but even before that Jacob Cowling was out there running some routes. And he had an impact never targeted never caught the ball, but he had an impact because of his speed. Miami dolphins were afraid to allow the 49ers to turn it loose. Sometimes we saw with Mike Evans, where the safeties flipped their hips and turn a ran a little bit early, Jacob Cowling was getting that effect. They were feeling the 49ers speed or at least leery of it after last week into Marcus Robinson beat them over the top. And Jacob Cowling's speed was on display. In fact, he opens the door or opens the situation for Debo to catch that deep cross over the middle of the field.

As he runs the through route, he draws a safety to run with him. Debo comes open over the middle of the field, those linebackers are engaged with gravity players underneath. You've got a big window for a D. Where to catch the ball and get some yards after the catch. Jacob Cowling doing it. Another instance, he's out playing X, he runs a vertical route. He's one on one of the corner. Brock, he runs an eight can bootleg and comes out on the other side. Mike Evans gets held. There's no call. Brock, pretty just turns and runs and Jacob Cowling is running the corner back all the way off who's trying to stay on top of him because it doesn't want to get beat deep. And Brock, pretty turns it into like a 12 or 13 yard gain because there's just no one there. Effects of Jacob, and the 49ers are going to need Jacob Cowling more now the 49ers are going to sign a veteran wide receiver that is going to happen. And so Jacob Cowling is not going to be needed as like a third wide receiver, but they can still use this skill set within this offense. I think it's extremely important to make sure that they do so that they use, you know, use him in a in a big way, you know, to be able to help this football team in one of the ways is allow him to run vertical and make an impact,

even if he doesn't catch the football. So it was good to see from Jacob Cowling. And here we are with the red zone offense. And, you know, if you've been listening to me, I've been saying it at Nazim during the offseason, the 49ers, especially once I saw they got D-Bowl, they are going to have the best red zone offense in the NFL. I just know it. In fact, I was actually disappointed against Los Angeles Rams that they were only 66% inside the red zone. I've been saying I believe there's going to be a 70% conversion rate on touchdowns or over 70%. I think they're going to be the number one red zone offense in the NFL. When you look at the players that they have part of it, the gravity type players, you have Mike Evans, you have Christian McCaffrey, you have George Kittle, you have D-Bow Samuel. And, you know, at that point, it's just on struggling, but you got Kyle, you said all these guys are winners in the red zone. Four of the players go five for five in the red zone and you look at the way that they did it and it was different ways with different players and different looks. How Shane a hand knows that red zone is so important when you are exchanging touchdowns for field goals, you are going to win a lot of football games if you're scoring touchdowns.

And the 49ers did it in a big way 100% inside the red zone. And I'm not going to blow this out of proportion. I want to see this continue because, you know, of course, it's not going to be 100% or whatever. And the dolphins, they are not a good red zone defense. In fact, the week before against the Raiders, they give up touchdowns 75% three or four. So is it 100% to the four years or an elite red zone offense. I would say no, but I think it's going to happen. And I just look at the way Kyle Shane in is calling it scheming it. When you're just going to run the football inside the red zone, they can throw the football Brock, party's a great tight window, thrower. You have the fade guy in Mike Evans. You have D. Both Samuel that can run the ball or he can get open. In fact, when Brock, party ran the ball for the touchdown, he could easily thrown into Mike Evans. Would have been a tough throw.

You can really can be that destination where you can innovate, collaborate and look into the future. And that's what makes Orlando unbelievably real learn more to Orlando for business.com or D. Bo coming across the middle, which would have absolutely been a touchdown. He chose to run it. And a lot of times coaches tell him, Hey, if you've got an opening, there's less risk with you just running the football, go ahead and do it. And so I think that's what he did, but yeah, it was it was fun to see. Now let's flip to the defense. And I think the one thing that was clear to me when I was watching the all 22 is Rahim Morris knows the run defense is a little bit of an issue. He comes out in this game and he right away puts the 49ers in an odd front, a five man front, you know, in a kind of like a base three four type defense. And he's going to get the extra defensive lineman up front to help stop the run of the dolphins. Now I think that that is a two part. I don't think that's entirely because of the rushing attack of the Miami dolphins. I do believe that also played into Malik Willis because sitting in extra russia against him. It allows you to have extra rush lanes.

So that way you don't get him sneaking out and beating you with his legs, which he really didn't do in this game. Four years did a really good job of himing him up and keeping him inside the pocket. So I don't want to put it all into, hey, he was trying to stop the run, but it was definitely a concerted effort. And I believe that because we saw some run blitzes from linebackers, we saw run blitzes from up to stout from Marquis Segal from Jair Brown. Coming into the box and helping out in the run game. There was a concerted effort. He was saying, you know what we know we have a little bit of a weakness. How exactly can I scheme this up to help my football team? And we know what the method to the madness is these defenses guy hang out and hold on long enough for the 49ers offense to get him a lead and get the opposing offense out of what they really want to do, which is run the ball. Use the clock and keep rock pretty on the sideline. But the problem is, and this is the same thing that happened in 2019 with that defense is if you got down against the 49ers, the 49ers were tremendous front runners.

Because you had to go away from the run game. You went into the passing game, which fed into the 49ers strength, which was pass rush. And I think the 49ers don't have as good a pass rush as they had in 2019. That's for sure. But the same method is ringing true because the 49ers are getting off the field on third down now. Wasn't a great third down performance against my amy dolphins that a lot of success early in that game. But the 49ers picked it up in the second half made some adjustments. But I think it was very telling the way that we're he more is attacked as far as defense that they know they have a little bit of a run issue. So let's get the extra defensive tackle out there and play this three four line. And let's get CJ West on the nose. It'll be a little bit tougher to double team up front and just not do a duo and get some push. And I'll allow the linebackers to make some plays and Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw after watching this. They're just the best in the business. That's the way it is. There is not a tandem in the NFL that plays the way that Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw do. And yes, they help in the run game, but especially in coverage. These two guys were two of the highest graded linebackers in coverage.

And there's a good reason why you have guys who can come out of the backfield and the dolphins had a game plan who dispersed the ball as much as they could to running backs and tight ends and run some quick screens to wide receivers. These linebackers have to get involved in and we've seen Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner consistently be all over those guys. And that's a far cry from what we've seen over the last two years, you know, where you had Campbell who couldn't do a you had D Wenders last year who was very hot and cold. Hit and miss. And so the 49ers those linebackers are good. And when you're in nickel situations, you have to count on your weak side linebacker and Dre Greenlaw. He's matched up one on one with HN in the open field on the third down the very first drive of the game and HN tries to set him up on a choice route to work to the inside. And Dre Greenlaw absolutely reads his body language jumps inside and he doesn't get a past defense, but he's right there to make the tackle. And it's in front of the sticks. You forced a long field goal, which they miss. That is the advantage of having Dre Greenlaw.

The advantage of having him in Fred Warner, the understanding of the defense knowing where everyone's supposed to be putting everyone in the right places. And then the physical nature as well, both those guys are coming into hit you are coming into make a play they're making you fear. Fred Warner makes everyone fear that he's going to punch the ball out every single time. So people with the football are changing the way they're holding it around the 49ers. Even when you hold it with two hands, it doesn't mean it's not going to get knocked out Fred force another fumble in this game. Of course, they went out of bounds. But Dre Greenlaw threatens with physicality and Fred Warner threatens with just skill and technique. These two guys are really good. The Rahim Morris pressure packages were phenomenal and pressure packages, of course, when you're bringing the blitz. And we knew going into this game to 49ers wanted to bring five guys for the most part, occasionally six because let's get the ball out of Malik Willis his hands, let's make him process extremely fast. And then let's show up these past fresh lanes and make sure he can't get away. And that's why you've seen a lot of guys who don't normally get sacks get sacks right marquee seagull gets a sack up and stout half a sack Fred Warner half a sack because these guys are flying in and helping make place.

And the pressure packages were good. We're going to drop out Ramello height. We're going to drop out Jade and Dugor. We're going to show Fred and Dre and the Agabs. We're going to drop them out. We're going to bring somebody else and Rahim Morris continues to be very good with the zone blitz scheme. And just keeping offensive lines on their toes and a lot of times making them feel uncomfortable or you're getting free shots on the quarterback. I thought it was it was just a superb performance for the 49ers and it was definitely different than what you saw against Matthew Stafford. It needed to be different than what you saw against Matthew Stafford where you wanted to bring, you know, if you were bringing pressure a lot of time was for maybe it was a unique look. Somebody came for someone else lots of line studs stunts up front because he couldn't run this week. It wasn't about line stunts is about bringing pressure with those extra guys in fast guys who could run them down. And how about Ramello height getting a sack because you ran. Well, he will us all the way to the sidelines after Nick Bosa had flushed him out of the pocket. That was phenomenal. Keon white getting a sack. That was phenomenal. So big time stuff for the 49er to pressure packages were really good.

The 49er secondary is the best that we've seen in years, at least through two games. When you look at the way that Ronaldo green and Marquis Siegel are playing right now. This 49ers defense is elevated in the secondary and I'm going to give a lot of credit to the defensive back coach Jerry Gray and I know where he more deserves a lot of it as well. He's scheming this up. In fact, he's the one that brought Jerry Gray to San Francisco. But the 49ers really have needed this in the secondary. You know, before they had the coach on the field back in 2019 and they had Richard Sherman and he could kind of put everybody in the right places. But with this group, you could see it. They are playing. Jaya Brown had the best game that he's had probably in his career. This guy that had an interception the Super Bowl, but that's how well he played. He tackled well played in the box. He made plays didn't get beaten coverage. It was it was really good to see and Marquis Siegel, you know, I've been saying it for a long time. He's the best tackleer on the entire football team and he proved it again and he's not getting beaten coverage. He's playing phenomenal. He's in the right places at the right time.

Yeah, I think that this group is so good and I Ronaldo green continues to impress two weeks in a row. He's look good. He didn't even give him a single catch. Marquis Siegel hasn't given up a single catch this year. Those guys are playing extremely well. And then hey, you still got the Amarillo in the North that it plays pretty darn good. He's been playing effective football up in style. Didn't have a perfect game, but up in style to very good player to this secondary. I feel comfortable saying it, especially with Siegel and Ronaldo green and the Amarillo and up in style. I'm going to give it a little bit of I'm going to have a little bit of patience. But if he can duplicate the performance or even be more consistent that he has been in the past. And I think the 49ers sky is the limit and think about that. Malik Mustafa, you know, he got in the field in garbage time. But the four years are so good right now in the secondary. He's not playing. They're so good. Back Jones is coming in in garbage time. Didn't see a lot of time for the 49ers in this one. But yeah, it was a good performance. Osa and Osa make things happen Nick Bosa with five pressures. Osa Diggy Zua bringing an impact from the interior portion of the defensive line and make no mistake.

The way that there's gravity players on offense. There's gravity players along the defensive line. And you have to pay attention to Nick Bosa. And you have to pay attention to Osa Diggy Zua. And that's what you started to see with those guys getting the type of attention that they're getting. It opens the door for everybody else that pass rusher opposite of Nick Bosa is getting one on one looks the pass rusher opposite of Osa Diggy Zua is getting look. So the 49ers have a situation where Osa Diggy Zua and Bosa are drawing attention. They need those other guys to step up and make some plays. Because these guys are going to be disruptive. But they're going to be even more disruptive as far as just drawing attention. You have to keep an extra guy in the chip on Nick Bosa. Somebody else get free. They have to double team Osa Diggy Zua making a one on one for her mellow height or Keon White. Somebody's got to get home. And so these situations are opening the door. And the good news is the 49ers did have a couple of guys I felt that walk through that door and made something happen in this game. He on white and Grayson Holt and I think are trending up a key on white was able to get pressure on Malik Willis. He had the sack. He also had the hit on the quarterback that ended up being a roughing the passer.

He's got to go to the side. Everyone knows that it's whether we like the rule or not. That's the rule. But seeing the quarterback hit and the physicality that Keon White has been displaying over the last two weeks. He's trending in the right direction. I'm a huge fan of what I saw from Keon White. I think it was better watching it on the L22 than it was watching, you know, the normal copy the live copy that came from the broadcast channel. And so I'm extremely excited to watch what Keon White does over the next few weeks. I think he's in a good situation to rush from the inside and be a dominant inside player. And for Grayson Holt and it wasn't just pass rush. But it is going to be some past rush because they're going to pay a lot of attention to also dig you do a they're going to give Grayson Holt and some opportunities on the inside to get after the quarterback, you know, the fact he played 31 snaps and he was able to get in there and have five tackles and get in the backfield and have the big TFL where he got a change to the ground. These guys looked really good and in a position that is a question mark for the 49ers defensive end behind Nick Boses a question mark defensive tackle behind Osa Diggy is you as a question mark.

We have two guys step up and two younger guys Keon White. Yeah, he's been in the league for a little bit now, but you know, he's still on his rookie contract Grayson Holt is a rookie to see these guys making impact. It's promising for what the 49ers could be in the future. So I'm pumped about some of these guys, you know, and and seeing what they did the coaching is really good. The players are playing really good. So that is the 49ers for Stolfen's upon for the review.
