how do we stop 49ers vaunted pistol offense?
Nobody has really figured It out yet, have they? I guess our best shot is play physical and try to put a hurtin (RGIII style) on the rookie QB.

It all starts with the power run game and Gore. May have to out score them in a track meet

Re: how do we stop 49ers vaunted pistol offense?
Play physical, stay in the gaps, don't over pursue on the edges. Will be a tough game for Suggs and Kruger. Once the hits and tackles start happening,we'll see how the 9ers hang. Think about it, they beat the packers(really weren't that good this year) and the falcons(who shoud have lost more then they won). Both teams defenses gave up too much in the passing and running game. Rodgers guys dropped a lot of passes this year and ryan pooped his pants in the 2nd half. Had a total meltdown(not his fault,only his 2nd game in the postseason this year. not enough experience to work with). Joe's experience is a plus for the Ravens. In the dome ,no wind. Watch what Jones did to the 9er secondary, Smith and JJ should benefit greatly in that dome.

go back and look at the tape from the redskins game....it's not the first time they've seen this offense...this does give the ravens a bit of an advantage in preparing for the SB....

Re: how do we stop 49ers vaunted pistol offense?
The key is that we have a lot of experience on defense against a raw QB. I can't think of the last time a QB as raw as Kaepernick won the SB. Not to say it couldn't happen, but it is kind of unlikely to think a rookie QB is going to do what Manning and Brady couldn't unless their defense absolutely overwhelms us.

Force him into bad decisions. He's a rook after all. Double up on Davis ashe's there only REAL threat. Crabtree can disappear, Moss is too ancient. Gore is a beast though.
Let them run the ball and lock it down in the red zone.

Win the line battle and don't let WRs run free.

Re: how do we stop 49ers vaunted pistol offense?
Brady won his first SB at the same spot in his career as Kaepernick is in now (his 2nd year after not playing his 1st year).
That said, Kaepernick has played less games in his 2nd year and isn't remotely the same style QB as Brady, plus the Pats first SB win was more a product of their defense (other than a semi-clutch late short FG drive by Brady)
I am definitely nervous about the read-option though. It takes discipline and quick thinking and reactions to defend.
