Game Day Week 4: Jaguars vs. 49ers
Trevor Lawrence led all QBs in first-read throw rate in 2022 (75.0%), 2023 (77.3%), and 2024 (76.1%), and is now at a new career-high of ...

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...

Nope, it's not a misprint. After trading up to the #3 pick from #12, the 49ers have put themselves in a position to select their franch...
Seems about right and well-deserved, in my opinion. Now, next year get a LT early in the draft to develop.....
ReplyDeleteYesterday was exhausting- lean on the running game at New Orleans and then stop the run and contain Kyler- I think D Robinson will help and assume Kittle will maybe be gone for two games........ hopefully, maybe it's nothing- I had a bad hamstring and it is the worst!
ReplyDeleteHave to admit I'm surprised he signed an extension. But $45 Mil over 3 years, plus $27 Mil guaranteed, I understand why. This puts him tied for #31 among all tackles in the NFL.
ReplyDeleteOne less O-line need in the 2026 draft.
McKivitz is 13th on the RT salary scale in the league, while the Chiefs are paying Moore to Jaylon to sit on the bench!
DeleteIan Rapoport
ReplyDeleteFA WR Kendrick Bourne is returning home to the San Francisco #49ers on a 1-year deal with a max value of $5M, per agent.
Kendrick Bourne to sign with 49ers
ReplyDeletehttps://sports.yahoo.com/article/kendrick-bourne-sign-49ers-164911540.html
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's win over the Seahawks that the team hoped to get a deal done with free agentwide receiver Kendrick Bourne after visiting with him last week and things have now fallen into place.
Bourne's agents told ESPN that their client has agreed to a one-year deal with the Niners. It is worth up to $5 million.
This is a good signing. He knows the system and now we just need another tackle and a center or IOL in the next draft.
ReplyDeleteAnother 5th round gem, is how I'm going to consider McKivitz henceforth. :)
Taking that deal makes McKivitz a trusted agent and not a money whore.
DeleteThey took a chance on him, trained him, and stayed with him --- let's face it, he's never been the Second Coming -- and now he's paying them back. So good to see.
DeleteYeah Mckivitz is the textbook example of a player on the bare minimum "line" that Foerster talks about.
DeleteHe is 29 and will get better, as he develops chemistry with Purdy and the rest of the O-line.
Well that eliminates one need this off season. Next they have to replace the left G, the C and pick up a swing OT that can eventually replace Williams. Bartch and Brendel both looked terrible yesterday. Does anyone have their PFF grades.
ReplyDeleteHighest-graded 49ers on offense against the Seahawks (PFF):
Delete• George Kittle: 86.2
• Jake Tonges: 84.5
• Ricky Pearsall: 77.2
• Ben Bartch: 73.7
• Jake Brendel: 70.6
• Brock Purdy: 69.4
Jake Tonges: 84.5 Who would have guessed? A true diamond in the ruff....But can he repeat it? TBD
DeleteHopefully Tonges can keep it up since Kittle will be out at least 3 weeks. Good to see Barch and Brendel did well. Hopefully Trent just had an off game.
DeleteHighest-graded 49ers on defense against the Seahawks (PFF):
ReplyDelete• Sam Okuayinonu: 91.0
• Nick Bosa: 82.5
• Dee Winters: 76.7
• Luke Gifford: 72.1
• Fred Warner: 71.7
• Renardo Green: 68.1
Good to see Gifford on that list.
DeleteThis victory put Shanahan in elite company as it gave him his 71st regular-season win as head coach of the 49ers, putting him in a tie with Lawrence Shaw for 3rd most victories. Seifert 98/Walsh 92
ReplyDeleteUs old timers know him as Buck Shaw
DeleteThe 49ers blitzed Sam Darnold on 27% of his drop backs. That's a 10% spike in their blitz rate from last year. They exceeded a 27% blitz rate in just 4 games last season, and only 2 of those came after Week 5. Winters blitzed 8 times while last year only 3.
ReplyDeleteSmart move. $15M a year is cheap for a veteran starting OT these days. And McKivitz is solid.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteThe 49ers were 1-4 last year when trailing after the first quarter and 1-6 when trailing at halftime.
ReplyDeleteI thought the rookies had rough days on watching the game, but man, PFF were pretty brutal. Collins and Stout in particular with very low grades (Collins below 30!).
ReplyDelete49ers 2025 Draft Class Week 1 PFF Grades:
Delete• Mykel Williams: 47.0
• Alfred Collins: 27.9
• Upton Stout: 32.5
• CJ West: 58.1
• Marques Sigle: 59.8
• Connor Colby: 60 (1 offensive snap)
This is why I thought the defense may struggle a bit early in the year. It will take time for these guys to get up to NFL speed but will be relied on to give a lot of snaps anyway. Thankfully it didn't hurt them much against the Seahawks.
DeleteDeommodore Lenoir ran his mouth all year;
ReplyDeleteDeommodore Lenoir in coverage against the Seahawks:
• 28 coverage snaps
• 0 catches allowed
• 0 yards allowed
Razor,
DeleteWhen I saw your PFF grades for the D I was shocked That Lenoir wasn't in the top 6. I have never understood how PFF does their grades.
Lenoir had a penalty....he was setting the tone with a physical play. That could have been the reason for the reduced PFF grade.
DeleteColton McKivitz awarded TOP PFF blocking grade in win allowing 1 pressure and a hurry, over 76 offensive snaps.
ReplyDeleteAccording to KS, Purdy injured his left shoulder and toe and may not play this week. Kittle out a couple of weeks. Jennings still being evaluated may play this week
ReplyDeleteBartch day to day.
ReplyDeleteColby puts my mind at cheese.
Delete"Williams wasn’t just a strong-side defensive tackle setting the edge. He was a frequent interior tackle against Seattle, holding his own against both the run and the pass.
ReplyDeleteDefensive coordinator Robert Saleh even dropped him into coverage a few times. That’s a ridiculous amount of trust to have in a rookie in his first game."
-Kurtenbach
Apparently, Saleh believes that M.W has the ability of taking on these responsibilities. If Williams can find success on this as a rookie, imagine how great his future could be with more experience. Now, the 49ers need to develop these young DL guys to stuff the running game.
DeleteTotally agree. In the first quarter it seemed like the Hawks could run at will 3-5 yards a carry. However, it looked like the Niners got better at defending it as the game progressed. If the Niners shut down the run game they will win a whole lot of games.
DeleteUC,
DeleteThe 49ers DL did show much improvement in the 2nd half. Im going to credit Saleh for the adjustments. I can't wait to see how improved the young players look after 7 games.
Moody waived.
ReplyDeleteJake Moody has been released.
ReplyDeleteKittle going on IR
ReplyDeleteJake Moody is no longer a member of the 49ers.....WHAT A SHOCK, WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?
ReplyDeleteSince entering the league, he's 21-for-25 as a rookie, (ranked bottom half of the league). then going an abysmal 14-for-24 in Year 2. Drafted in the 3rd Rd for his booming leg, Moody struggled from 40 yards and beyond, going 16-for-29 in that range for his career.
Not one of the 9ers better draft choices. But who replaces him? TBD
I'll miss Kittle. It's such fun to watch him play.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why we didn't roll out Purdy more
Trent Williams was horrible. Some analysts postulated that he might be "rusty." Hope so. Otherwise, since kittle's out, might as well use a six-man o-line (just trippin'), although it's not unheard of for short yardage. New Orleans had 5 sacks last week and Mac Jones is a statue.
Anyway, Bourne? Is he any good?
Maybe Moody can join either the USFL or the Canadian Football league to iron out his issues. It's too bad that the NFL can't use these leagues like Baseball uses Triple A teams.
ReplyDeleteAES
DeleteI'm more inclined to believe Moody's problem is between his ears....Maybe time with a shrink would / could help?
My question would be, is there someone out there better than Moody.
ReplyDeleteUC
ReplyDeleteThat is the $64 question! A problem JL needs to resolve sooner than later. It could cost the 9ers some games if he fails to.....TBD
Razor
ReplyDeleteAny word if Kittle is going on IR for four + weeks?
He's already on it. Minimum 4 weeks correct.
DeleteBrayden Willis will be promoted from the practice squad to fill in for George Kittle while he’s on IR, per John Lynch.
