Joe Barry was Assistant head coach & linebackers coach on Rams 2017-2020. The Rams went 3 - 5 vs 49ers during that span and lost the last four.

In other words, Kyle Shanahan normally destroys this defensive scheme. Probably because it's set up to limit the pass and Shanahan is fine with that as he'll keep running the ball down the throats of the light boxes, especially now that he has McCaffrey.
I'm thinking they need to say scheme the normal system, Shanahan is too good against it and keep mixing it up all game long. But certainly having a great pass rusher up against their RT, as they lost their starting RT to FA, and the new guy just isn't as good.
Gonna need to blitz some here, weather it's run blitz or normal blitz and tackle, as 49ers receivers are great at breaking a tackle and getting extra yardage.
49ers defense, slowing that DL will be tough, and they got arguably the best LB in the NFL.
