[QUOTE="757Niner, post: 852397, member: 6235"] We're a good defense but there a certain teams/schemes that we don't match up well against. Defensively, our strength is our D-Line. Creating pressure up the middle and having guys like Ford and Bosa clean up, off the edge. So what kind of offenses would be able to exploit that? Teams that spread you out and attack you, along the hashes with quick passing out of RPO's and running out of spread concepts. Arizona, Seattle, Baltimore, Houston....even Dallas to a certain degree. Those are teams that we will have a hard time containing because it negates our strength as a unit. Traditional offenses with traditional pocket passers are less of a worry for me personally. Not saying we can't lose those games but our defense is set-up to make their lives miserable, offensively. Outside of Kwon and maybe Warner, we're not a particular fast nor quick, sideline to sideline type of defense. So our ability to defend those types of offenses is not in our wheelhouse. So I wouldn't put too much stock in our troubles with AZ. They're just not a good match-up for us schematically. Just like I think the Ravens are going to run all over us in 2 weeks. We're just not built to handle those college spread type of teams with mobile QBs.

Ford is out a couple of weeks so we're missing one of our key edge guys, as well as Blair being out for the year so we're not as formidable on the edge as we once were. Kittle will probably be a gametime decision as will Sanders and I doubt Brieda plays so we're hurting offensively as well. But hopefully we can get those guys back before the playoffs. I think with our defense, we can go into any environment and be able to win so I'm not as adamant about home field advantage as most of our fanbase.
