Dan Campbell, appearing on his weekly 97.1 The Ticket radio spot, expressed to “Stoney and Jansen” the challenges that the 49ers present.
“It goes without saying. This is a team with attitude. This is a hard-nosed team. They play a physical style — offense and defense,” Campbell said. “You know, they have a ton of eye candy. The turbo motions, they block these tight ends, they block the wide zone. They pitch it to (Christian) McCaffrey. He does a great job. He’s got unbelievable vision. Setting up blocks and puts his foot in the ground if you give him a crease.
“You go defensively, man. Population to the football. We have to play with our hair on fire. We have to be relentless. And everybody’s got to be around it,” Campbell commented further. “We’ll have, we’ll have some things in to hopefully help neutralize some of this. But, you can’t take everything away that they do. (Kyle) Shanahan, to me, is one of the best in this league at preparing gameplans and trying to attack your weaknesses. But, the great equalizer is population and getting takeaways.
