Expect to see a lot of shifts and motions in #SBLIV, which features a matchup between two of the top 4 teams in shift/motion rate this season (incl. playoffs), per @PFF.

The @49ers are the only team in the NFL to use shifts/motions on 70%+ of their plays this season. Image
Shifts and motions have been defining features of Kyle Shanahan's offenses dating back to at least his time as the Browns OC in 2014 (the first year @PFF charted shifts and motions), but the past 4 seasons his offenses have really pulled away from the rest of the NFL.

#GoNiners
Andy Reid used shifts/motions at or below league average as HC of the @Chiefs from 2014-2017, but increased that to the 6th-highest rate (55%) in 2018 in Patrick Mahomes first season as starting QB and the 4th-highest rate (62%) in his 2nd season this year.

Welcome to the official @NFLResearch NFC Championship preview thread.

Read on for the best numbers, notes and nuggets on Sunday's game between the @packers and @49ers.

#GoPackGo | #GoNiners
The 2019 NFC Championship will be the first conference championship game in which neither of the starting QBs recorded a start in their first 2 NFL seasons.

Aaron Rodgers sat behind HOF Brett Favre.

Jimmy Garoppolo sat behind GOAT Tom Brady.

#GoPackGo | #GoNiners
Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) has as many catches (1 INT) as he has allowed in coverage (1 reception) in two career NFC Championship appearances (both wins).

Empecemos entonces a hablar del partido en que #Skol visitará a #GoNiners. San Francisco sale como favorito pero no debería confiarse, porque ya una vez le salió caro en el pasado. @martindelp te cuenta la historia, que se remonta a la temporada 1987.
Eran los tiempos en que los de rojo y oro dominaban la liga. Habían ganado ya dos anillos en esa década y ganarían dos más. Su gran figura era el mítico Joe Montana y de la mano del coach Bill Walsh tenían un trabuco en todas sus líneas.
En ese año, y como casi siempre, habían ganado su división, con un récord de 13-2. (Curiosamente, esa temporada se había acortado un partido por huelga). Y esperaban tranquilamente al ganador del partido de comodines, que resultó ser Minnesota, superando a... ¡Nueva Orleans!

Tenía ganas, muchas ganas de hablar sobre las DEF de los #Niners y de su DC.

Robert Saleh viene del 'coach tree' de Pete Carroll/Gus Bradley/Dan Quinn, etc... con ellos comparte utilizar la 'Cover 1/3' como defensa base. Esta destaca por jugar con un único safety en cobertura.
Y meter al SS lo más cerca posible de la LOS, jugando así con 8 defensas en la caja y siendo prioritario parar el juego terrestre del rival.
El 2018 era el año para asentar dicho esquema, en cambio, en su 2da temp. como DC, los números contra la carrera no han mejorado, y además, contra el pase, ha sido el 2do peor en TD permitidos (35) y últimos en INT (2) y turnovers (7).
