Breaking down the performance of rookie DB Quan Martin against the 49ers.
Against the 49ers, Martin was used more as the free safety than the slot corner and he showed a good feel for the position.
On this play, the 49ers are looking to hit one of Kyle Shanahan’s staple play-action concepts, known as Drift. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel aligns isolated to the right of the formation and looks to run vertical for about 10 yards before then drifting over the middle into space. His job is to find the space behind the linebackers biting up on the play-action fake.
