Morris' Secondary Effect

 

Firepower

 Feels like this is the week they call up Brandon Cooks and activate him from the practice squad. Captain Kirk will likely return to practice next week. He could put some pressure on Cowing's roster spot by providing more at the WR position while taking over PR duties.

Next Gen Stats

 Through three weeks, the San Francisco 49ers have two of the top 6 and three of the top 13 offensive linemen in the league in pressure rate allowed, per Next Gen Stats:

No. 1 -- C Jake Brendel - 0% T-No. 6 -- RG Dominick Puni - 2.2% No. 13 -- LT Trent Williams - 3.7%

I never had any doubts about this offensive line or the philosophy behind them, but will it be enough to silence the yearly hand wringing by the opposing viewers? Remains to be seen if they'll be able to keep it going against the Broncos, and it might have gotten more difficult with the loss of Mike Evans, who softens up the middle of the field for CMC and Kittle at the X position.

49ers Defeat Cardinals: 36-30

 The 49ers took their lumps in this game with the injuries coming fast and furious. Mike Evans left early with a rib, Trent Williams with a stinger. Lenoir, Green and Greenlaw left with injuries but were able to return. Gracen Halton did return from apparent cramping. With the game on the line the offense came out and moved the ball at will. A critical 15-yard personal foul penalty committed by Arizona down in the Redzone allowed San Francisco to finish the game winning drive with a TD. Lots to clean up and hopefully the injuries aren't serious. On to Denver!

“Your initial reaction when you’re told you’re not playing anymore is, ‘Oh, s—, I kind of blew this opportunity.'" I'm sure Colton McKivitz can relate but on a much bigger scale.

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!

• Black: 50 yards • Evans: 110 yards receiving, 2 TD • Kittle: 65 yards receiving • Deebo: 60 total yards, TD • DRob: 75 yards receiving • Bosa, Odighizuwa & Height a sack each

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.... 

PLPD

 

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