    we don't have our stud Zach Brown anymore and we barely missed not getting Anthony Barr in the draft. Just killed the team

    Why did we sign Phillips, Woods, Woodyard if they didn't fit the scheme? Why did they resign Wimbley when we all expected them to release him?

    We didn't use a first or 2nd rd pick to draft the right kind of players either.

    I disagree about our ILBs being too small. Most of the best ILBs in both the 4-3 and the 3-4 are 240 lbs. Patrick Willis is 240, Luke Kuekly is 237.

    As for needing a physically dominant NT the 49ers have never had one of those in the Harbaugh era and had great defenses. Last year they were 2nd in defense with Glen Dorsey at NT! Their current starting NT is 6'1 305 and both ILBs are 240.

    Regardless of scheme. Nobody on our defense can tackle.

    Also, don't let the stat sheet fool you. Woodyard and Griffin lead our team in tackles.

    But I wouldn't be surprised if they lead the team in missed tackles too.

    Watching Woodyard whiff on guys on 3rd downs week after week makes him worthless.

    3-4 defense has always sucked idk why people are infatuated with it. Unless you have the perfect personnel it's not gonna work. Too gimmicky and puts the wrong players in pass coverage too much

    I like the 3-4 front. That added element of surprise and extra athlete standing up is a good thing. We're just not getting it done on offense which leaves the defense gassed.

    The defense not being able to stop drives is also leaving the defense gassed. TOP is not all on the offense.

    I would normally agree with you here... but not today. Defense was really bad all day long this time. I think we missed Pitoitua today. And Blidi is completely in over his head and a total liability against any receiver worth his salt. This staff must really believe in him if they keep sticking with him. Hopefully it pays off in the long run because he's absolutely killing us right now.

    Literally everything can be trashed on defense besides Casey.
