One of my favorite saying: when your options are 'bad' and 'worse' ... pick 'bad'.
Playing soft zone against the 49ers is bad because, as you say, it plays into JimmyG's strengths.
But playing press man is worse simply because the Rams don't have the horses to pull it off. Not only wouldn't they be able to cover, by playing with their backs to the QB the DBs wouldn't be able to provide much run support, nor would they be able to help contain anyone who catches a short pass.
And yes, I know the run support and short pass support is bad. But there it is again: it would be worse with press coverage.
