Talk about the game here - before, during, and after. Hail!
That’s true. But you know who will have a bigger challenge? That Cardinals OLThis will be a big challenge for this DL. Murray is as elusive as a QB can get, and has weapons who are capable of torching any secondary.
We may surprise by coming with a more controlled four-man rush a lot ... trying to Murray in the pocket as much as possible, forcing him to throw over guys a foot taller than him, having our guys get their mitts up and looking for batted/deflected passes. SF got two, I'm thinking we might get more than that and maybe get the big turnover play. Not sure how far along Murray is in his reading/throwing on rhythm game--like to think if we can largely keep seven back and throw coverages at him, we could keep things mostly under control.
We didn't have that luxury for the past quarter-century, because we haven't had a DL capable of getting pressure from just the four downs. We do now.
It’s hard for Murray to escape the pocket if there is no pocket. Intense pressure from every side. I think that’s better than ‘containment’. But I understand the fear of him getting loose. I’d still rather see us be ultra aggressive and put his ass on the ground multiple times.

Yeah thats a great point. If our big guys are able to get some good hard hits on him its going to hurt a lot more then it did Carson with his size.The first couple of times the little water bug runs into Chase Young as he’s taking off out of the pocket might give him pause I might have Young do nothing but spy him. If anyone can neutralize a mobile QB it’s Chase.
Well, he led them in rushing Sunday, and beat last years best defense.
To me this one will come down to 3rd downs ... and whether or not we can keep him from evading and then beating the rush with his feet and scrambling to extend drives.
