Final Pre-Season Game: Chargers vs. 49ers
This is the matchup you've been clamoring for. Jim Harbaugh fans vs. the Shanastans!
-
The stench of the last game is still in my nostrils. Will the 49ers clear the air? Not if they don't start making tackles. Not if they...

The San Francisco 49ers are 20-6 when the Three Amigos are on the field together. If they stay healthy you can forget about a "rebuil...
Brock Purdy is not practicing today due to a personal matter — I’m told it’s nothing to be alarmed about.
ReplyDeleteLombardi reports that "Lenoir and Jennings got into a 5 second scuffle." Apparently it was over as quickly as it started.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that there will be many more dust-ups once the hitting starts next week. Ahh, exciting times ahead.
2 alphas going at it. It's inevitable.
DeleteQB3 Tanner Mordecai has all the physical tools, but early in camp he’s been an interception machine. Another one Krueger was high on last year.
ReplyDeleteAccuracy and the ability to read defenses are so underrated. Everyone thinks it can be fixed because of Josh Allen, but who else can you think of that suddenly became good at those after a few years in the league?
DeleteAllen is the only one I can remember doing it expeditiously.
DeleteMordecai is just a place holder for Rourke. I believe that Rourke has a decent chance to beat out Jones next year.
ReplyDeleteWith 3 QBs already in the room in 2024 - Purdy, Allen, and Dobbs, they kept Mordecai because there had to be something they liked. I believe Mordecai stays.
ReplyDeleteTBD
THE BAD NEWS: Both Aiyuk and Pearsall are on PUP.
ReplyDeleteTHE GOOD NEWS: both WR rookies, Jordan Watkins and
Isaiah Neyor, are showing they're capable of contributing
The 49ers were top 10 in DVOA, t-12 in success rate & EPA, 2nd in yards/play, 3rd in % of plays over 10 yards despite the injuries last year.
ReplyDelete"Your are what your record says who you are."
DeleteBill Parcells...
When the stats are said and done. The win/loss record matters most.
Hopefully, 2025 can reverse last years record.
Maiocco has the 49ers keeping Willis and Pline for a total of 4 TE's.👀
ReplyDeletePline could be the TE dark horse in TC.
ReplyDeleteFew things to watch in the NFC West:
ReplyDelete1) Rams QB Stafford is Week to Week with back injury. He might not be available all of TC.
2) Seahawks have a new OC - Klint Kubiak and QB - Darnold whose games should be very familiar to our coaches. Hearing things are not going well there, although it is early in TC.
3) Cardinals 1st round pick Walter Nolan is going to miss all of TC due to calf injury.
IMO, I think 'Hawks offense will take a step back....they are installing a new system and they traded away DK and released Tyler Lockett/Noah Fant, and got Cooper Kupp who might not last the full season. So Game 1 is there for the taking.
I also think cardinals will be sneaky good this season because they have a good D and it will be a make or break year for Kyler Murray & Johnathan Gannon.
Stafford will be ready for AARP after Bosa is done with him.
DeleteMug,
ReplyDeleteThe entire team revolves around Murray. If he's inconsistent or injured, the Cards are cooked.
AES
ReplyDeleteYou are correct with respect to Murray. But if he's healthy, Arizona had a great draft and they'l be, IMO, the team to beat in the West.
Nice to hear Lombardi giving Sebastian Valdez some love. I posted a few weeks ago that my TC underdogs were Valdez and Pline. I'm pulling for these players to make some noise.
ReplyDeleteWR Ricky Pearsall has been activated from PUP.
ReplyDeleteLoud whispers of Jauan Jennings and the 49ers reportedly finalizing a 2-year contract extension bringing his total AAV just north of $13M per year.
ReplyDeleteThat will be a good signing. I love what JJ brings to this team. But in 2026, we should find a way to offload Aiyuk's deal.
DeleteThat'd be my plan. Rebuild Aiyuk's stock. Trade him. Never pay a wr $30M ever again unless his names Jerry Rice.
DeleteMakes sense for both sides.
DeleteI agree it would make sense for both sides to, as Razor says, "rebuild Aiyuk's stock and trade him.
Delete* However, Aiyuk's contract includes a large option bonus
($24.9 million) that is fully guaranteed in 2026. This means that the 49ers would likely have to absorb a substantial portion of that money if they traded him after the guarantee vests, impacting their salary cap significantly.
* Trading Aiyuk after these guarantees kick in would likely result in a significant dead cap hit for the 49ers, making it financially unfavorable to move on from him.
Scooter, any ideas how the 9ers could / would work out the bonus and dead cap hit for the 9ers?
Sorry, I meant extending Jennings made sense.
DeleteTrading Aiyuk is much trickier now that he triggered his option bonus. Big cap hit if they trade him next year. And they'd need to do it before he triggers his next option bonus in 2026, so can't wait until after June 1 to spread the hit out.
I suspect Aiyuk is here for 2 more years.
ESPN sources: Chargers and left tackle Rashawn Slater reached agreement today on a four-year, $114 million contract extension that includes a record $92 million guaranteed and now makes him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.
ReplyDeleteDL Tarron Jackson had to be carted off the field. Kyle Shanahan said Jackson is conscious and can feel all his extremities. Jackson is being transported to Stanford Hospital for further evaluation.
ReplyDelete"He’s gonna be nice.” Lenoir on Isaiah Neyor.
ReplyDeleteVeteran cornerback Eli Apple is signing a one-year deal with the 49ers, per Kevin Conner.
ReplyDeleteJennings calf strain. Is this his way to hold in or is it another soft tissue injury to an important 49er player?
ReplyDeleteSomething he's dealt with in the past.
DeleteKyle Shanahan provides a timetable for Renardo Green and Jacob Cowing’s return:
ReplyDelete* When KS was asked about Green and Cowing’s return, he didn’t go into specifics about their injury, saying, “Yeah, they both have hamstrings.” The good news is that both should be back before the second week of the preseason. “Hopefully, around Raiders week we’ll get them back.” The 9ers travel to face the LV Raiders on Aug.16. So Cowing and Green could return early that week and be able to play in joint practices.
Bucs DL David Walker has a torn ACL and is out for the season.
ReplyDeleteREAL football begins today. The hitting will determine whether the rookies that have looked good up to this point are the real deal or not.
ReplyDeletePlaying OL for Shanny is like doing algebra in a fist fight.
ReplyDeleteJust use the old 1-2 👊
