3 things to watch for in 49ers-Dolphins: The under center movement will continue
Niners Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers, coming off a strong Week 1 performance in Australia, aim to remain undefeated as they host the Miami Dolphins in their home opener at Levi’s Stadium.
- The 49ers have increased their under-center plays, ranking fourth-highest in the NFL, and have been effective with a high EPA per play, while the Dolphins also use under-center formations frequently and have shown defensive resilience against it.
- Miami relies heavily on base defense, leading the NFL with 68.3% base defense snaps, which the 49ers plan to exploit by passing more on early downs, potentially leading to a big game for receiver Mike Evans.
- The 49ers blitz sparingly but generate significant pressure, while the Dolphins allowed the highest pressure rate last week; controlling pressure and limiting deep routes will be crucial to containing Miami’s mobile quarterback Malik Willis.
