To The Power & The Glory

 

The Athletic’s latest NFL Power Rankings have the 49ers #1. Is this an overreaction to compensate for the poor outlook most had for the 49ers due to concerns over LG, S, DE and health?

 The 49ers open up as 12.5-point favorites against the Dolphins in Week 2

Injury Bug Bites

 

49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling out at least a month with a deltoid sprain in his ankle. Never heard of the injury but sounds like it could've been much worse. Heal fast!

Lifetime

 The 49ers quietly signed Kyle Shanahan to a contract extension in the offseason, per Tom Pelissero. I've said he should be the HC here until he no longer wants to be. Like a warranty, I'd give him a lifetime contract if I were the Yorks.

27-7 San Francisco

Brock Purdy leads the 49ers past the Rams in Australia. San Francisco executed in all 3 phases of the game, but Brockadile Dundee was impressive. He made the one faux pas but came back and finished with 3 TD's and 5 scrambles for 30 yards. The OL played a great game, and I thought Shanahan's play calling was fantastic. Morris is an upgrade over Saleh for mine, and Flock of Sigle might have played his best game since coming into the league. Morris has something with this dime personnel package. Greenlaw comes off for Jack Jones. Lenoir and Stout play in the slot. You take so much pressure off the safeties by having an extra coverage player, and it allows you to be more aggressive up front. The challenge now becomes can the 49ers recover in time for their next matchup in 10 days against the Miami Dolphins.
