This was the best game yet from the Niners on both sides of the ball. People will say the Cowboys just played so poorly but it really was because the Niners were just playing so damn good it looked like the Cowboys weren't even trying. I kept forgetting that we were playing against a Playoff/Super Bowl caliber team on the other side fo the field. And the niners made it look easy. Its very scary how good they played. I don't want to say it will happen but I really think this team could go undefeated this year by just how good they played last night. If they can continue to do this and stay healthy I don't think anyone can stop them. Eagles are going to be tough but they honestly have barely won their games. Niners have one every single game super convincingly. BANG BANG NINER GANG!

Bosa has to be a decendant of Hercules or is Hercules himself. Forget aliens. This defense is full of demi-gods.

That play Fred made on the mesh concept reminded me of prime Draymond Green, who would frequently blow up multiple parts of a possession - switching at the point of attack, rotating out to a shooter and recovering to defend the paint all in one play, often defending multiple offensive players thru sheer force of will. We have “passes defended” but what we need is a metric for “passing windows blown up”

Really good stuff, great breakdown. I never notice things like Bosa taking up 3 blockers and making the tackle when watching the game live; it's easy to wonder "where's all the sacks?" but a single stat doesn't capture the impact he has.

Another great breakdown. My favorite thing with Greenlaw on that sack (12:58) was that he was frozen there just watching, like a predator waiting for his prey and then launching at it. This might've been Fred's best career game. It's at least up there. I heard someone call him a cheat code. This team seems to have a few of those

Warners reaction time is insane, then the blocks shed, then the speed, and the forced fumble?!? Nuts.

Warner and Greenlaw are like Superman and Batman. so exciting to watch every week. great analysis!

Defense played incredible Sunday night , one of the best games I’ve seen played by the niners at all 3 levels lenoir ward and Oliver locked up , dline got pressure and ate up double teams and then those LBs , those beautiful LBs the best duo in the game with Oren burks playing well too every second of that game was amazing ! Love your breakdowns keep up the good work !

Another jonnydel BANGER

Fred Warner is a legitimate Defensive MVP !!!!

Always a favorite breakdown. So well done. DeMo so good he stopped trying to find the pick handle to let Fred grab it and stopped his momentum cold skinny to let Fred squeeze by. It was a pleasure to watch this game on both sides, special teams, and backups. And they're only going to keep getting better. Abundant Prosperity health and longevity to the Team. One game at a time! Go 49ers

8:11 possibly the best LB play I've ever seen. Fred does so many different things perfectly in one play, at every stage of the play. I've just never seen anything like this - that level of play disruption and annihilation. His vision and decision making and the timing of each response to what he sees, floating or sprinting to the exact right location over and over. Impeccable. It's artwork. It's a huge lesson plan for a sports instructor, that a class in linebackering could spend the whole class session on that one play.

Great breakdown as always. Best channel out there for in depth game review.

All-Pro Fred needs a promotion to DPOY Fred. Unlikely with the year that TJ is having, and the media's attention on glory stats, but The Faithful knows who's really the best. Add Dr. Dre to the mix... It's a different league with different rules and LB isn't as physical as the Willis-Bowman days--who were terrifying--but this dynamic duo is as good in their pwn context. No one covers the sheer square footage that Warner-Greenlaw do... and they still punish offenses.

Bosa taking on those 3 players was sublime. It's definitely the best defensive game all year. Are you going to keep doing two breakdowns a week? Wish there were a few clips of the few downs the 9ers lost, too.

13:25-13:28 Greenlaw didn't move for 3 seconds, just staring at Dak like a psycho

BEST IN THE WORLD!!!

Everyone rightfully talks about Purdy's Cray supercomputer processing speed on the offensive side of the ball, but what the supercomputer processing speed exhibited by his counterpart, Fred Warner, on the defensive side of the ball? It doesn't matter what the other team's offense is doing, Warner either reads what's going to happen before the snap or figures it out within 1.5 seconds after the snap and responds effectively in time. He's like a football genius.

Banger after banger for jonnydel

Ward & Lenoir, very impressive play at man up close & personal. ... This defense EATS when the D-line consistently gets work done, all game.

Great video as usual Jonny. Love your channel. Go Niners!

Alien or Jedi? Fred Warner disrupting BOTH shallow crosses then pulling off two moves on Dak is definitely looking into the future. And Purdy a robot. This is a fantastically weird team. Maybe some of them are Wessen. 😂

I love your videos man! Lots of other channels do these but yours just feel different and you cover deeper things going on, but in few words that's easy for someone entry level (myself) to understand. It's awesome! I know you already got a lot, but I'd love to see previews each week if able. Not a long vid or deep breakdown, but just general concepts and comparisons for a better idea of how the team needs to perform to exploit weaknesses while covering their own feom team to team. Even if it were no content on screen and just podcast long, again long or short forum. That'd be awesome! Otherwise keep doing what you're doing bro and looking forward to each vid

Best team in the league. Best channel on KZfaq covering the best team in the league!

DPOW Fred Warner. I am so glad he is on the team. Second greatest player ever from BYU and the 49ers had them both.

Thanks for yet another great breakdown. This team is SO much fun to watch, and then analyze...and watch and analyze some more. :) In addition to all the physical skills, it's amazing to see the attitude this team has. Like you mentioned, they play with absolute maximum effort the whole time, they hold each other to that standard, and they have a relentless drive to improve even after great games. I love the anecdote about Purdy saying he wasn't happy with how he'd played against the Cowboys in the playoffs (a big game that we WON, with zero turnovers), and that he wanted to do way better in this game.

Thanks! Keep up the great work.

Congratulations on 20k subscribers!! 🤘

Team defense! I love it!

Best in the world is an understatement.

This is the result of a TEAM concept and not a single player concerned with their own stats. Everyone contributes 100% every play. I love it. I look forward to the Browns. I feel bad that they may be playing without Watson. Which likely means our defense will perform even better. But I dont want the narrative of the game to be "oh they won because Watson didnt play". I want it to mirror the cowboys in that every player in every position played at an elite level and the 49ers just dominated every facet of the game.

Cleveland is looking at this film and wondering "WTF are we going to do about all these guys?"

If you listen to freds podcast, he said he saw lamb coming out of the corner of his eye. Then his assignment was to cover Dak if he got out of the pocket. He said he knew lamb was behind him so was trying to stay between him and Dak.

Great breakdown as usual sir! I look forward to your videos every week and tell everyone I know to check out your channel! Excellent job! Is it me or do I detect hint of sinus congestion in your voice?

This was great

Man, I wish the House of Payne would start playing after Warner, Greenlaw or Burks lays the wood😂😂

LETS GOOOO!!!!

Dallas Cowboys tip ball drill champion, 2 years running, Fred Warner

Defense wins championships! Lets gooo

If there's anyway I can describe the 49ers Defensive Play, is that they play like a pack of Wolves or Pride of Lions during a hunt, a fundamental part of football I recall being taught at the JV Level (Swarm to the ball until the whistle as they word it). 6:15 of this video shows this quite well, look at how many were right on Pollards tail which was why the take away got into 49er hands. Man it's beautiful!

Fred Warner is absolutely the best in the game at his position, but Greenlaw is very often talked about in a top 10 hell he was in the NFL top 100 which was voted on by players, so having two top 10s in the middle of field is scary for opponets.

Bang Bang Niners Empire!

You've got a gifting for breaking down plays. While watching your videos, I feel like I could breakdown or even design plays. The moment I mute it, though...

I need that picture of bosa holding fullback and TE up with one arm each

Awesome break down JD. Man what a team we have. To be fair though JD, the offense was not averaging 31 points per game. There’s quite a few defensive scores and special teams too. The offense was the weakness of this team so even though they were impressive, I gotta say what our offense did to their at the time number 1 defense was a little bit more impressive. Lol go NINERS. Here’s looking forward to which side of the team will be more impressive this week. I’m betting on the offense again.

5:08 Greenlaw got away with an out of bounds suplex on Dobson 😅

Fred out there looking king predator out there

Warner and Greenlaw are both late round draft picks like Kittle and Purdy.

He's not an alien... ...He's the Fredator.

Fred and Greenlaw remind me so much of Willis and Bowman F&W the unquestionable leader/general of the defense while G&B are the war dog the evil brother of the general that almost takes things to far

Imagine being Biadasz in the film room this week. As a 230lb linebacker throws the 320lb lineman to the ground on the way to the ff. Ridiculus stuff

I love the 9ers since childhood, and I love Fred Warner, and was proudly repping his jersey at this game. BUT... Cooks was wide open on that play; Fred was 3 paces behind there was plenty of room to put that ball lol. Go 9ers, and Fred should win DPOY if he keeps this up.

Three slants is an old packer concept definitely was designed

I don't agree that there was nowhere for Dak to put the ball on the Cooks deep shot. Cooks is several yards ahead of Warner and increasing the gap quickly. A perfect throw (and granted it would have to be a VERY long throw) would've been a touchdown there, Cooks was well and truly behind the defense.

Dallas offense was playing checkers and 49ers defense was playing 3-d chess. But seriously Steve Wilks is getting exponentially better at calling defense as he learns his players, and the players are getting better at running his defense. It helps that we have crazy talent like Fred, Dre, Nick, Hargrave, Mooney, Huf, Bosa, etc., but it's more about scheme developing and executing well.' It's also crazy that we have a linebacker in Dre who is perhaps on par with Derrick Brooks, and Fred Warner is better. Brandon Cooks is not as fast as before, bud Fred has crazy speed for a linebacker.

I predict that Fred and Nick will be co-defensive players of the year; oh and Brock and CMC will be co-offensive players of the year. What do you think?

Defense wins games.

Need a slot corner. Missing Womack imo

I notice that you call Fred Warner "The Alien". I like to call him the "Predator".

All pro Fred is the best player on defense in the NFL, you can’t change my mind

#JD49

Just realized on daks first interception, hufanga got in so fast the RB wasn't there for the pa fake because he had to block huf so dak faked it to no one lmao

Would be great to see a dedicated analysis on how the niners O neutralized no. 11 from Dallas. Still not clear for me how he was such a non factor in the game

Awwwweeeee yeeeeeeaaaaaa

The cool is cornerbacks still looks better or at least solid even though, emmauel mosely is not there anymore.

I know, I know this is going to be wild to say as Freddie G Warner is an All-Pro but this game sort of felt like a coming out party...but not just as a superstar player but as a DPOY kind of player. As a best defensive player in the league kind of player.

Let's go Browns! 49ers are going to bring their best, what do you got?

Moody ward going to be a pro bowl cornerback if he keeps this up

Everyone on this defense is either high impact or above average at worst. I'm not that high on Demo or Oliver, but Lenoir is extremely physical and Oliver may not be as good as Shark was, but he a decent nickel

Or how about the "Fredator"?

great breakdown, the music, no

Warner is the key. Remove Warner and they loose so much. He is more valuable to this team than bosa in my opinion

Federico is not playing out here

1

First

This aged like spoiled milk

What is this? Hero worship? The 49ers won because they knew what the Cowboys were going to do before the game even started.

This didn't age well.

Niners!!!

Or how about the "Fredator"?
