I read a snippet about how SF defensive coordinator Robert Saleh's first two years running the Seattle defense there were brutal, but then he made some changes, like wide nine sets to get Bosa outside more. I hope Wash has been taking notes during the playoffs.

Ngakoue and/or Allen in wide nine was used a fair amount in 2019 for obvious passing downs. 

I posted a screenshot of it in another thread (where it was immediately misconstrued as a bad thing.) 

The pass rush was not the problem for this defense. Far from it.
What Saleh is doing with his back seven is the more relevant solution we should be looking at. 

I think a really big takeaway that many are missing here is that Saleh plays A TON of zone coverage. 
70% of the niners D snaps were in zone coverage. 
Wash has secondary players that: 
a. dont play zone well , and 
b. are seemingly not coached/developed well enough to play it better than they do
