4) I’d expect the Ravens to send pressure early and often this week. How has Jimmy Garoppolo and this San Francisco offense handled the blitz this season?

Garoppolo actually does okay against the blitz for the most part, especially when he has Sanders and Kittle available. He trusts those guys and isn’t afraid to uncork throws into tight windows with the rush coming.

However, he’s also susceptible to some mistakes for that same reason. Fitting a throw into a tight window requires accuracy that may go by the wayside while facing a blitz. It’s not out of the realm of possibilities that Garoppolo sends a pass right into a defender’s chest.

Where Garoppolo gets into the most trouble is when he holds the ball and doesn’t trust what he sees. That’s when he takes bad sacks or makes errant throws that arrive late or into the wrong hands. Blitzing Garoppolo is probably the best way to throw off the timing in Kyle Shanahan’s scheme, but it’s dangerous with the playmakers they have and their ability to generate yards after the catch.
