Gameday Live Week 4: Patriots vs 49ers

 

Defenses have been dropping 8 into coverage vs Brock Purdy at a 2x higher rate than they do against other QBs, and he's still leading the NFL in passing yards on throws that travel over 10 yards (581 yards). I'm expecting more of the same from the Patriots defensive game plan. The key to this game is going to be stopping the Patriots big running backs and the elevation of Anderson from the practice squad could be a big part of that solution. Offensively the 49ers need to establish their own running attack and stick with it. I like the 49ers over the Patriots, 31-6. Go Niners!

Niners roster moves:

Placed on IR: DT Javon Hargrave (triceps), LB Curtis Robinson (ACL)

Signed to active roster: DE Sam Okuayinonu Elevated from practice squad: DT Evan Anderson, S Jaylen Mahoney

#49ers inactives vs. Patriots: QB Josh Dobbs (third QB) S Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) WR Ronnie Bell OL Ben Bartch CB Darrell Luter Jr.

Gameday Week 3: 49ers vs Rams

No CMC, no Samuel, no Kittle. No Kupp, no Nacua, no Noteboom, no Avila. This is a test for both team's depth and I feel the 49ers are better equipped at the roster margins than the Rams are. I'm anticipating a run centric offense by Shanahan with the idea of "shorting" the game with TOP and get out of there as healthy as possible with a win. McVay will also try and establish the running game and if the 49ers can shut it down, this game could end up being very one sided. I like the 49ers 31-6 over the Rams. Go Niners!

Gameday Week 2: 49ers vs Vikings

 

Despite Flores' intent to take away the run with 6 man fronts and blitzes, I'm expecting another run heavy game plan with Mason going over 100 yards and 2 TD's. Purdy will throw 2 TD's and Aiyuk and Kittle might be the recipients. Deebo usually does extremely well against zone defense which the Vikings are in most. Darnold should be good for an Int to Lenoir. Watch the screens to offset the pass rush. I like the Niners to exorcise the demons in Minnesota with a win of 31-16.

Gameday Live Monday Night Football: Jets vs 49ers Week 1

 

Niners football is back baby! I hope the team has Ricky Pearsall lead them out of the tunnel carrying the American flag. I'm expecting Shanahan to rush the ball 30 times and wear down that Jets defense. George Kittle should have a big game. I like the 49ers tonight, 31-17. Go Niners!

Shanny's Presser

 

If you haven't heard, Grant Cohn accused Kyle Shanahan of bad form when he went ahead with the scheduled team party after the shooting. As it turned out, Ricky Pearsall had face timed the head coach and the team with his miraculous recovery, reassuring and encouraging them to go ahead with their celebrations. Instead of taking the "L", Cohn double downed:

Cohn: "When you first got the news about Ricky and you were waiting to find out the severity did part of you want to drop everything and rush to the hospital with John to be there with him"?

Shanahan: "Uh, yea obviously, but I'm in charge of our team too, and I don't do that stuff just so you won't say something negative about me. I try to make the right decision for the people I'm responsible for and I had about 100 people about to show up at my house in an hour and half from there and I try to do things for the right reason. People that know me never question that...but I would never do something to avoid people saying bad things".

That my friends is taking a man to the wood shed in front of all his peers and cutting him down to the size he really is. Unbelievable!

This Is Moore Like It

 #49ers are scheduled to practice tomorrow and Trent Williams brother, Fred Williams posted to his story of what appears to be Trent boarding a late night flight with caption:

“year 15 let’s get it! ” Could this mean we could be getting Trent Williams news soon?

Pearsall Upgraded To Fair Condition
