Speaking of Smith, you may recognize this play:
Just a good play from both guys, I think. Then again, Justin Smith may have been the one to actually force it as he dragged the left tackle right into Foles' business. He does a nice fake like he's going inside and he forces Foles to throw that ball. What I like most about this one is that Lynch is fighting big time on that side, and eventually gets past the offensive tackle after being chipped.
He made a good adjustment to get out there and put some pressure on Foles, who seemed to have his tight end open in the flat there - there was a 49ers defender shortly behind but there's a decent chance that could have been a touchdown. As you can tell, Lynch once again played until the end and made sure he got a hit on Lynch within the window allowed. That play, for the record, fell incomplete and the 49ers took over on downs. Whatever the case, I just couldn't resist making the gif above.īut that wasn't the only pressure of the day for Lynch, as you can see below: My guess is he just didn't want to dirty up his uniform. Not only did Lynch finish that play with a big hit that shook Foles up, he did it without doing anything unnecessarily unpleasant, like falling to the ground himself. That's just as well, given that everyone else was blocked really well, including Ahmad Brooks.īut you should pay attention to the end of the play, where this happened: The right tackle honestly never had a chance to do anything. That's just pure domination at this point, and Lynch sure does look good doing it. If you happened to read yesterday's post, you saw Joe Staley and Alex Boone get beat outright on moves that looked very similar to the one above. I'm pretty pleased with how Lynch is coming along, and to start we've got four - count 'em - four GIFs of Lynch making a difference on the field. For now, I've got a few gifs focusing primarily on pressure applied by the 49ers, more specifically Aaron Lynch. I plan on one more of these, probably on Friday, as someone requested a few gifs of pressure on plays that didn't result in sacks so if there's something you guys want, let me know and I'll include it in that. On Wednesday, I had a post on the sacks allowed by the offensive line, but today, there's going to be a little less direction. It's time for more GIFs! Each week I've been doing something of a "GIF dump" post in which I group together a bunch of GIFs I make from the last San Francisco 49ers games that didn't get their own posts.
