How do the 49ers go about attacking the Eagles in Week 2?

NN: If you were the San Francisco 49ers this weekend, what ways would you go about attacking the Eagles on both offense and defense?

"II: On defense, I think San Fran’s plan is simple. Attack Jordan Mailata with Nick Bosa. Atlanta tried to generate pressure on Jalen Hurts. More often than not, they failed, but you can understand their thinking. San Francisco is a much more talented team than Atlanta is. They should be able to generate more pressure than the Falcons did. To make long stories short, the Niners should be able to stress Philly with a quick passing game in those areas that bother their defense the most, at those one-on-one areas on the outside and at the defense’s second level. I’m not sure these linebackers cover San Fran’s playmakers consistently."
