Matthews and the OLB Walden, Moses, Perry have to do it all, mostly Matthews. Against this QB, and one like Brees, you need some pressure up the middle. It leads to our 3rd down defense being so pathetic. We were good on 1st & 2nd downs in the 1st half. We could have forced 3, 4, 5 more punts with 3rd down pressures up the middle. But instead, we have to blitz, usually off the edges, and it makes it so easy for Kaepernick to run away for big yards. 49ers converted 8-of-13 third downs that led to a nearly 17-minute advantage in time of possession. As for the Packers offense, it was just 5 -of-12 on third down.</blockquote>
