Kittle and Warner are expected to play in this game. Talanoa Hufanga, Jordan Elliott and Dee Winters do not have any injury designations and will play in Sunday’s game, per Kyle Shanahan. Kyler Murray has been his best on the Cardinals opening script of plays. After that, not so much. If the 49ers can get out to an early lead they should be fine defensively. Khalia Davis is active reinforcing that defensive front. I think Mason will have a big day today. His 268 rushing yards after contact ranks 1st among RBs this season. The Arizona defense ranks 30th in yards after contact allowed to RBs, making them vulnerable. I like the 49ers in this game, 34-20. Go Niners!

Back from a 13 day canoe trip 111 miles on the Green River in Utah to the confluence of the Colorado River also in Utah. I see that my Niners are playing mediocre ball. I also note that the injury bug is back. Haven't had time to check on individual performances as of yet.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! It's been too long we missed you. Welcome home, we've opened up the gates.
DeleteThat sounds like a great trip and I’ll bet you had a blast. Welcome back and hopefully the Niners will play better today and continue the improvement throughout the season. Niners should win this game.

DeleteSounds like fun! I'm curious what level of rapids that you encountered on your ride down the Green River? I understand they can run from Class 1, to Class 4, depending on the section of the river and the water level?
Thanks guys.
DeleteI put in at Crystal Geyser, went through The Labyrinth which is BLM land, then through the Stillwater canyon which is National Forest land, through the confluence and down a mile on the Colorado. To answer your question Geep its a very easy trip. Rapids not really, bumpy water is about it. Even at the confluence was nothing. The biggest enemy is the wind and figuring out how to run the river to miss the sandbars. May I add that I did this trip in late September, lower water. I have no idea on April-May water, what the difficulty is. It's insanely beautiful. Also I might add, I am 72 years old and it seemed most others were in their 60's,
5 9ER PLAYERS THAT WILL BE KEY TO BEATING ARIZONA:
ReplyDelete* RT McKivitz: He'll need to keep OLB Dennis Gardeck from pressuring BP. Gardeck leads Arizona in QB pressures and sacks.
* S Ji’Ayir Brown: His support in stopping RB, James Conner and help preventing QB Murray from scrambling for big yards, or keeping his passing yards to a minimum, will play will be key factor in the 9ers winning the game.
* WR Aiyuk: Hasn't reach 50 yards receiving in the first 4 games.
Obviously, he's rusty after missing the offseason program and 9er training camp! It's NOW TIME for Aiyuk to step up and EARN THE
MONEY in his new contract!
QB BROCK PURDY: The 9ers have been playing D's that rush 3 and play 8 men in coverage. That puts pressure on BP to find his open receivers. It's also forced him to hold the ball and buy time scrambling for yards.
The 9ers figure to see more of the same against the Cards who
play 3 safeties and have them lining up interchangeably in different
D alignments.
BP will need to be on his game in his decision-making and accuracy.
* CB D Lenoir: He plays CB on base downs, then moves inside to covers the slot receiver in nickel situations.
He'll be tasked with stopping rookie Marvin Harrison, who leads Arizona with 15 receptions for 243 yards and 4 touchdowns.
This season, Lenoir has only allowed 13 receptions on 21 targets for 108 yards and NO touchdowns.

Judging from warm-ups, the third/SAM linebacker today will be Dee Winters.
