Next Gen Stats

 Through three weeks, the San Francisco 49ers have two of the top 6 and three of the top 13 offensive linemen in the league in pressure rate allowed, per Next Gen Stats:

No. 1 -- C Jake Brendel - 0% T-No. 6 -- RG Dominick Puni - 2.2% No. 13 -- LT Trent Williams - 3.7%

I never had any doubts about this offensive line or the philosophy behind them, but will it be enough to silence the yearly hand wringing by the opposing viewers? Remains to be seen if they'll be able to keep it going against the Broncos, and it might have gotten more difficult with the loss of Mike Evans, who softens up the middle of the field for CMC and Kittle at the X position.

49ers Defeat Cardinals: 36-30

 The 49ers took their lumps in this game with the injuries coming fast and furious. Mike Evans left early with a rib, Trent Williams with a stinger. Lenoir, Green and Greenlaw left with injuries but were able to return. Gracen Halton did return from apparent cramping. With the game on the line the offense came out and moved the ball at will. A critical 15-yard personal foul penalty committed by Arizona down in the Redzone allowed San Francisco to finish the game winning drive with a TD. Lots to clean up and hopefully the injuries aren't serious. On to Denver!

“Your initial reaction when you’re told you’re not playing anymore is, ‘Oh, s—, I kind of blew this opportunity.'" I'm sure Colton McKivitz can relate but on a much bigger scale.
