Brian Baldinger: 49ers should consider changing Wide-9
“Yeah, I do. I do think so, because it has not been effective,” Baldinger said. “I would say that they have to evaluate that right now. I know Nick loves it, and he gets to play in space. Now, I think a lot of teams started attacking Nick on that wide nine in the running, and just chipping him and some nasty chips. And he had to kind of cut it down because the splits were just too big, and receivers were just chipping him. And, I mean, knocking the hell out of them in the pass rush.
