State Of Gracen

 Gracen Halton was unstoppable yesterday

• 31 snaps played • 5 tackles • 1 tackle for a loss • 3 pressures • 3 stops • 68.3 defensive grade The interior part of the defensive line desperately needed a player to step up this year, and Halton has done just that! Took D. J. Jones a year or two to catch on but it looks like Halton has a chance to be even better and it couldn't have come at a more critical time. You can tell his confidence level is growing with every game.

Dominance

 

And submission!

Right out of the gate this offensive line came out firing on all cylinders. Continuity is the reason why. Imagine what they'll look like in November if they all stay healthy....

Cardinals played 0% Man to Man coverage against the Chargers. Should we expect more of the same week 3 against the 49ers?

To The Power & The Glory

 

The Athletic’s latest NFL Power Rankings have the 49ers #1. Is this an overreaction to compensate for the poor outlook most had for the 49ers due to concerns over LG, S, DE and health?

On To The Dolphins

 The 49ers open up as 12.5-point favorites against the Dolphins in Week 2

Injury Bug Bites

 

49ers WR De'Zhaun Stribling out at least a month with a deltoid sprain in his ankle. Never heard of the injury but sounds like it could've been much worse. Heal fast!

Lifetime

 The 49ers quietly signed Kyle Shanahan to a contract extension in the offseason, per Tom Pelissero. I've said he should be the HC here until he no longer wants to be. Like a warranty, I'd give him a lifetime contract if I were the Yorks.

27-7 San Francisco

Brock Purdy leads the 49ers past the Rams in Australia. San Francisco executed in all 3 phases of the game, but Brockadile Dundee was impressive. He made the one faux pas but came back and finished with 3 TD's and 5 scrambles for 30 yards. The OL played a great game, and I thought Shanahan's play calling was fantastic. Morris is an upgrade over Saleh for mine, and Flock of Sigle might have played his best game since coming into the league. Morris has something with this dime personnel package. Greenlaw comes off for Jack Jones. Lenoir and Stout play in the slot. You take so much pressure off the safeties by having an extra coverage player, and it allows you to be more aggressive up front. The challenge now becomes can the 49ers recover in time for their next matchup in 10 days against the Miami Dolphins.

A Message To The Faithful

 

A new season is upon us, Faithful.

You know what that means. Time for the team to see how many members of the fan base they can send to the doctor for increased blood pressure. (I kid …sort of.)

If we are to believe the “experts”, there will be several visits because many of them are projecting the 49ers to be worse than they were in 2025.

One of their reasons is that the 49ers roster is old.

An odd conclusion, because the team they’re expecting to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in February, the Los Angeles Rams, is around the same age as the 49ers.

Actually, they’re slightly older on average than the 49ers, but I digress.

Sure, there are still some areas of concern for the 49ers. They need to stay healthy, and LG and the two safety positions are a case of throwing something at the wall and hoping it sticks.

But the receiving corps and RB room are shaping up to be the best group the 49ers have put together, and I’m anticipating that Brock Purdy will take another step forward this season, with the latter resulting in the pundits downplaying what he has done for the team once again. (We all know it’s coming.)

The defense will be markedly better thanks to the additions of DT Osa Odighizuwa to the DL and DB Jack Jones to push Renardo Green, along with the return of Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw in the LB room.

Looking at the schedule, I see potential losses against the following:

Broncos in Week 4

Cowboys in Week 10

Seahawks in Week 12

Rams in Week 14

Chiefs in Week 16

The schedule looks like a gauntlet this season, and the oddsmakers are counting the 49ers out, having them lose more games than I’m predicting.

However, it’s when the 49ers are counted out that they tend to stomp a hole in those doomsday predictions.

Only this time, they have the pieces to capture the franchise’s elusive sixth Lombardi trophy.

Get excited Faithful.  

Big Season

 Brock Purdy now has the most weapons since becoming the 49ers quarterback and is poised to have the best season of his career.

When You Consider

What Purdy had to work with last season it's pretty incredible.

 Taking a look at the rookie pass rusher the 49ers just added to their practice squad, he reminds me of Arden Key.
