@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers' O-line struggles limited their dynamism. But they didn't dynamism with the defense delivering at that level. All SF needed was mistake-free ball, and its offensive skill position players delivered that

@LombardiHimself49ers' defensive pressures (PFF):Bosa: 5Ebukam: 4Jackson: 1Warner: 1Omenihu: 1Al-Shaair: 1Givens: 1I expect the D-line to be more overpowering when it's not coming off altitude/short week. Warner was especially proud the 49ers managed a shutout under these conditions

@LombardiHimselfWhen we talk about the potentially adverse effects of a short week/altitude/etc., we can expect trench play to be most affected.Therefore, maybe it's not surprising that the 49ers' O-line played its worst game (vs a good Saints' D-line) and that SF's D-line had only 1 sack

@LombardiHimself49ers allowed 20 pressures, 7 QB hits vs Saints both season highs. 13 of those pressures, 5 of those hits came from DTs.Good news: Interior pressure had been Garoppolo's kryptonite in past. He delivered a good mistake-free game in spite of it. But SF must protect him better

@LombardiHimselfMajority of Saints' pressure came up the middle, which made Jimmy Garoppolo's performance all the more impressive. 49ers' pressures allowed (PFF):LT Williams: 2LG Banks: 7C Brendel: 1RG Burford: 2RG Brunskill: 2RT McGlinchey: 1Kentavius Street (!) led Saints in pressures

@LombardiHimselfThe 49ers, above all else, are a very balanced defense. Efficient against both the run and pass. And that's very significant for their prospects of winning as the calendar turns deeper into winter

@LombardiHimselfBig 49ers' positives today outside of the defense shutout:-Garoppolo, obviously. Playing at a very high level. Good QB play can take SF far-Jordan Mason and the run game in drive that salted the game. 5 yards per carry! Did run game finally click?-Jauan Jennings. Glue piece
