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.
Highest-graded 49ers on defense against the Dolphins (PFF):
ReplyDelete• Nick Bosa: 84.5
• Dre Greenlaw: 83.0
• Renardo Green: 74.6
• Fred Warner: 73.9
• Marques Sigle: 72.8
• Malik Mustapha: 72.4
Flock of Sigle is exactly what I hoped he could be in year 2 with Warner back on the field to communicate with. We might have a hitter like Greenlaw on the backend now!
Halton has the makings of becoming a star. Let's not forget that Mykel may be ready in a few weeks as well. By. 5-7 games into the season the DL could be much better.

ReplyDeleteHe looks much more comfortable at LG now than last season. Arrows up and keep on stackin'!

Ji' Brown played well yesterday. But, I wonder if he could be replaced by Single at some point this season. The real positive is how well the 49ers have set themselves up with interchangeable players that could help if a starter goes down.
ReplyDeleteAhh, Sigle. Doggone word correction 😏
ReplyDeleteIf the defense figures it out (run defense) this team would be one of the greatest modern era teams ever. The offense is already a top five unit, the defense also could be a top five unit - stop the run, please.
ReplyDeleteYou think they call up McKinnley Jackson?
DeleteI don't know, I do know if they control the run and get off the field this team will be so dominate...be real hard to beat.
DeleteRight now, the strategy seems to be slow it down until the redzone and then clamp down.
DeleteWhat they did in the second half was much better than the performance of the first half, they couldn't get off the field.
DeleteWhite is the culprit in the 4i/5t spot against those inside runs, something Mykel excels at.
DeleteHe's not the only culprit. Not getting enough from the DTs against the run.

DeleteIMO, Jackson gives Morris what a 5-under front requires. A dense, low-leverage space-eater who can stop the run, command double teams and free up edges. But he's not going to penetrate and put pressure on the QB.

DeleteBrock Purdy produced a successful play on 80% of his dropbacks Sunday, tied for the 5th-highest rate among 10,390 NFL team games over the last 20 seasons.
ReplyDeletePurdy was the best player on the field by a very long way.
Delete49ers rookie DE Romello Height broke his hand and will have surgery tomorrow — outside chance he can play Sunday with a club.
ReplyDeleteKS said the the 9ers will look to either sign a WR to their active roster or add one to the practice squad for some internal depth, to replace WR Robinson, who
ReplyDeletesuffered a high ankle injury.
ANY SUGGESTIONS WHO THE 9ERS SHOULD SIGN? For me, it's
* Darius Slayton: May be the may be the best veteran WR available
* Malik Turner: Was with the 9ers in camp, spent time on the roster in 2022. Had practice squad stints in 2024 and 2025.
