Re: Super Bowl XLVII: San Francisco 49ers vs. Baltimore Ravens

What Atlanta did against San Fran's read option is very similar to what Baltimore did when they played Washington. They limited the QB runs, but Baltimore got gashed by Alfred Morris (23 car 129 yds 1 TD 5.5 avg.). Paul Kruger basically ran right at RGIII every play. So I would expect to see San Fran's RBs be able to have similar success that they had vs Atlanta, if Baltimore isn't more stout in the middle.

I will be looking at some other stuff in the all-22, but watching the game, Atlanta defended Kapernick the same way Baltimore defended RGIII and in both games that running backs had huge games. There is something to the read option when the QB is a real running threat. (ie Not RGIII after the injury.)

Probably look at the 49ers vs Giants game as they are a team that is similar to Baltimore offensively, but it was Smith's 3 ints that changed that game. Still to early to pick a winner yet.
