Playoffs Game 1: Packers vs SF 49er's

MVS I am thinking does not pay had a DNP today. Though sounds like Cobb will be back.

Be interesting how effetive Warner is because he will likely play but guessing he won't be close to 100%

I'm not putting a lot of stock in guys who haven't played in weeks and are jumping into playoffs. Stick with the guys who got you here and aren't rusty.

Cobb I think can come in and play be the #3 in MVS place. I trust him more then anyone else at WR we have right now like Rodgers or Winfree.
 
I think the thing that worries me most about this matchup is obviously our run D. In theory, you flood the line of scrimmage, clog the middle of the field (Jimmy G doesn’t throw outside the hashes under normal health and weather conditions, so no worries out there) and figure you can disrupt what little they try to do through the air while also having more bodies around the box to play the run.

On the injured player front, I think we don’t need to be too worried about Jaire playing or not since San Francisco’s wideouts aren’t super intimidating outside of hybrid Samuel. If Jaire does play, I certainly trust him to be smart enough to handle whatever position they put him in, so I’d play to Rasul and Stokes’ strengths and let Jaire go eat whatever is left, but they don’t pay me the big bucks to figure these things out. Even easier decision with whatever they can get out of Z or Mercillus; situational pass rusher is an ideal role for both of those guys at this point and not too complicated to ease back into that job.

What is sneakily starting to worry me a little more than I thought at first is dinking around with the O-line. Now, yeah, the offensive coaches and players have done yeomen’s work making a patchwork line play like gangbusters all year, so I may be nitpicking a bit to find anything more to worry about. And Nijman held up fine vs San Fran last time, so if he has to spell Bakh, I can live with that, even though it’s not ideal. But the right side of the line may be where this thing is won or lost. They’ve struggled with interior stunts a lot, and I bet San Fran is creative enough to give them some unscouted looks on plays like that. Patrick is certainly better than Newman, but he’s kind of just a guy. I don’t think I want Turner in there at RG (he was bad his first year here playing a lot of RG, and has been a revelation at tackle), but they might have liked what they’re getting from Kelly so much they decide to bump Turner inside just to get their “five best” out there. The uncertainty there is starting to nag at me.

Here’s hoping Bosa sits and it’s all a non-issue.

So you are saying you don't want to see this again?

When Bakh sat down against the Lions, the run game really got going. They had obvious problems running the ball behind the left side of the line with DB in there. I get the concern, you’d think it would take a few games to get his movement and strength back but they may figure keeping 12 upright trumps all.

It takes time to get back into top playing condition. Too many people believe these guys come off IR and just step in full bore. It doesn't happen that often. Usually it's a process coming back.
