Is the 49ers’ attacking defensive style easily exploited by mobile quarterbacks?

There are a lot of myths around the NFL. Little things like that.” — Barrows The film This season, the 49ers have played six quarterbacks who can be considered mobile: Murray, Cam Newton, Wentz, Wilson, Jones and Josh Allen. The 49ers held four out of six mobile quarterbacks under their season yards per carry, including Allen, who had only six rushes for 11 yards in the 49ers’ 34-24 loss on Monday. — Sheil Kapadia The verdict Barrows: The numbers suggest the 49ers’ scheme performs just as well against running quarterbacks as the rest of the league’s defenses. Nguyen: Murray’s yards per carry against the 49ers were only 0.3 more than his season average.
