49ers release Ogbo Okoronkwo
The San Francisco 49ers announced they released Ogbo Okoronkwo. He appeared in all four games and has the second-most snaps of any edge rusher this season. Okoronkwo hasn’t lit up the stat sheet, but he managed 10 pressures with an 11.8% pass-rush win rate. But he’s only played 33 run snaps this year. This move […]

Since it’s such a big game, we’ll flip the script and talk about the players on the other side of the ball. Some matchups in this game the San Francisco 49ers have to win. There are a couple of players they should avoid. Here are five Seattle Seahawks to watch in Week 5. LB Nick […]

San Francisco 49ers coordinators Raheem Morris and Klay Kubiak spoke to the media ahead of their Week 5 showdown with the Seattle Seahawks. We’ve already highlighted why the Niners are unlikely to shadow Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Here are some of the other newsworthy items from their pressers.

The 49ers are running into the stingiest defense in the NFL
The San Francisco 49ers are looking for a perfect first leg against the NFC West with a win on Sunday in the Pacific Northwest against the Seattle Seahawks. After defeating the Rams and Arizona, the 49ers sit atop the NFC West, but the 3-1 Seahawks are within shouting distance, and an early division lead is […]
Why the 49ers likely won’t shadow Jaxon Smith Njigba
The San Francisco 49ers have quite the challenge ahead of them this week, as they’ll have to find a way to cover Seattle Seahawks star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is off to a torrid pace this season with 32 catches for 481 yards and six touchdowns through four games. Regardless of quarterback, Smith-Njigba has produced, […]
49ers News: Connor Colby might be faster than the Blue Angels
After looking at some Seahawks tape, some thoughts: The offensive line seems not as good as I thought they’d be. The defense, while still being super disruptive, is missing more tackles. Otherwise, they’re still pretty nasty. If Bosa was playing, I’d be more confident that the 49ers could disrupt Sam Darnold enough to stay in […]
Cowboys-Bucs live discussion: An MVP candidate versus a rookie quarterback
No Baker Mayfield last week for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That meant rookie Jalon Daniels took the reins. Daniels went 9-for-27 for 148 yards, threw two interceptions, posted a 65 passer rating, and was sacked three times. It can’t get worse, right? The San Francisco 49ers play the Dallas Cowboys a month from now. In […]

John Lynch on the 49ers ahead of the trade deadline: ‘I think you’re always in active mode’
We’re a little more than a month away from the NFL’s trade deadline. When the San Francisco 49ers have swung a deal, they’ve made deep playoff runs. Emmanuel Sanders in 2019. Christian McCaffrey in 2022. Chase Young in 2023. Two Super Bowls and an NFC Championship appearance. Looking back, it’d be nice to have the […]
3 things to watch for in 49ers-Seahawks: Kyle Shanahan vs. Mike MacDonald is the main event

The 4 biggest surprises about the 49ers a month into the season
The San Francisco 49ers beginning the season undefeated isn’t surprising. The Rams looked like a team that had just gotten off a 16-hour flight. The Dolphins and Cardinals were feisty at best. And Bo Nix was gunshy. All eyes will be focused on the Seattle Seahawks, but let’s look at the biggest surprises during the […]
Revisiting the 49ers schedule after 4 weeks: Does the back half look easier or harder now?
The San Francisco 49ers are 4-0 through four weeks, as they’ve navigated the early part of their schedule well with notable wins over the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos.

The 49ers proved that good teams can win ugly
As we approach a big Week 5 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks, let’s take a final look at the San Francisco 49ers’ 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos. It took a bit, but the 49ers finally took control after a special teams play and then put things away with a big play from George Kittle. […]
‘As good as it gets’ – 49ers’ ascending position group faces its toughest test
One of the most exciting developments of the 49ers’ 4-0 start to the 2026 season has been the play of the offensive line. A much, and often unfairly, maligned position group for the Niners, Chris Foerster’s group have excelled through the opening four weeks. They have not allowed a sack through the first four games, […]
Kyle Shanahan shares interesting perspective on 49ers unique drafting strategy for their OL
When it comes to the NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers are often a team in many conversations during the offseason, with this year being no different after they took wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling at No. 33 and running back Kaelon Black at No. 90 overall. San Francisco has seen its wide range of successes […]

We all are focused on the future and whether the San Francisco 49ers can win the Super Bowl this year, but there’s still plenty of interesting history in the 49ers past worth revisiting. Way back in 2008, 2009, and 2010, we ran a series of articles looking at every single season in 49ers history. The […]
49ers News: TIL the practice squad has an injured reserve
There’s football on tonight… the 0-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs the 2-2 Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are obviously a 49ers opponent and the Bucs might have players on the trade block, given how bad their season is going. I’ll watch Vita Vea mess up the Cowboys offense and daydream about him coming home…… 49ers trade […]

49ers sign former Rams wide receiver to the practice squad
The San Francisco 49ers continue to shuffle the deck at wide receiver. Xavier Smith, who played against the 49ers in Week 1 when he was with the Rams, was added to the practice squad.

49ers-Seahawks: 3 major differences from last year’s roster

49ers News: John Lynch better be working those phones
Let’s keep firing up these trade rumors. I’m getting greedy. This is exactly what I wanted to see before the season: Brock Purdy and the offense showing so much juice that it pretty much forces John Lynch’s hand, in the most positive way possible. You GOTTA give these guys a legit pass rush that can […]
