Our defensive line got physically man handled and blown off the the ball and LOS damn near every play. The Linebackers were terrible and picking up that dink and dunk crap out of the backfield. Worst defensive performance i have seen our front seven have in a long time. They will fix it for the next time we play them.
During the first half the Seahawks stayed right on top of a lot of underneath stuff. The 49ers started calling repeated trap-blocks in the second half, an advanced O-line tactic
designed to lure and screen linebackers and quicker linemen out of the play. It's tough for an offense to execute, and SF's ability to do so says more about them than it does about us. Our linebackers missed a couple of plays, but they're not going to win a lot of battles against actual offensive linemen.
I'm game for seeing Scruggs. We've already grown a bunch of defensive starters from late rounds by starting them behind older free agents (i.e. Sherman behind Trufant, Chancellor behind Milloy, Wright behind Curry). Seattle would love to see the younger and much cheaper Scruggs bail them out from having to sign Jason Jones to a big contract next year.
