Episode notes

- The 49ers lack a true deep threat and speed after injuries sidelined their fastest receivers.
- Opposing defenses can play looser coverages, limiting explosive plays and run-game effectiveness.

- Consider changing the usual coin-toss deferral strategy when facing explosive-opening opponents.
- Tim Kawakami suggests starting with the ball to avoid giving the defense an immediate long drive.

- Matt Barrows argues the offense needs to average around 30+ points to compensate for defensive lapses.
