Episode notes
Morris Brings Familiarity And Instability
- Raheem Morris is a long-time Kyle Shanahan ally with varied defensive experience across teams.
- His hiring likely triggers staff shakeups and changes in defensive approach and personnel needs.
Versatility Could Change Personnel Needs
- Morris is flexible schematically and has used different fronts, blitzing more than recent 49ers coordinators.
- That versatility means the 49ers may need different edge personnel if he increases blitzing and varied looks.
Upgrade Edge Talent First
- Add dynamic edge rushers before expecting major schematic shifts to work effectively.
- Upgrade the edge in draft or free agency to give Morris options to deploy varied fronts.
