49ers fact or fiction: Is the offensive line a top-10 unit?
The San Francisco 49ers spent their offseason wondering who would start at left guard after Ben Bartch and Spencer Burford departed in free agency. Truthfully, since Aaron Banks departed for Green Bay, the left guard position has been a revolving door. Last season, as a rookie, Connor Colby got some run, but earned a mixed […]
The 5 biggest surprises from the 49ers in Week 1
We asked San Francisco 49ers fans what they thought were the biggest surprises from the Week 1 mashing of the Rams. There was no shortage of answers, because there was no shortage of ways the Niners stood out, both individually and as a team. Today, we’ll highlight the biggest surprises from the Niners Week 1 […]
49ers promote practice squad receiver after placing De’Zhaun Stribling on the IR
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler tweeted that the San Francisco 49ers are promoting wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge to the active roster. That creates an open spot on the practice squad, which we’ll likely find out about later on Wednesday when Kyle Shanahan speaks to the media. Hodge only played four special teams snaps in Week 1, both […]
49ers in review: We’re buying stock in the secondary
As we get ready to turn the page to the Miami Dolphins, let’s take one last look at the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 1 undressing of the Los Angeles Rams. What are some things that happened in Australia that could be things to watch for as the 49ers return stateside? What players stood out? Which […]
49ers considered favorites to win NFC West after Week 1
Through one week, the NFC West is 3-1, with the lone loss being the Los Angeles Rams, who fell to the San Francisco 49ers in Australia. While the spread was 3.5-points, not many had faith in the 49ers, myself included, after the Rams added a ton of star talent in the offseason, making them the […]
49ers News: Welcome to the Bay, McKinnley Jackson!
The Miami Dolphins are begging to be overlooked. A trap game this early sounds insane, I know, but after coming back from such a long flight and an emotional win… going against an opponent that doesn’t seem like much… let’s not forget that the Dolphins are still an NFL team. The 49ers are going against […]
49ers sign Jack Stoll to the practice squad after Jake Tonges injury
The San Francisco 49ers hosted five players for a tryout after tight end Jake Tonges and defensive tackle Alfred Collins suffered injuries. The team already added a defensive tackle to the practice squad on Tuesday. Here are the three tight ends and a pair of defensive tackles the team worked out: TE Lawrence Cager (6’5”, […]

49ers sign former Bengals 3rd-round pick to the practice squad; promote Brayden Willis
The San Francisco 49ers announced they have promoted tight end Brayden Willis to the active roster. He is expected to replace Jake Tonges. Needing an Alfred Collins replacement, the team signed defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson to the practice squad. Jackson, listed at 6’2”, 330 pounds, was drafted by the Bengals in the third round of […]
3 final numbers to take away from the 49ers’ win over the Rams
The San Francisco 49ers started the year off with a convincing win over the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday and have their sights set on a 2-0 start with a win over the Miami Dolphins at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Week 1 games can set the tone for a season or be a full-on […]
Colin Kaepernick has some things to say about Trent Baalke
One of the many stories still incomplete is what happened during Jim Harbaugh’s tenure with the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-2014. The 49ers went to three straight NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl, riding a ferocious defense and (for two of those championships, anyway) Colin Kaepernick under center. Then it all just disappeared. Harbaugh […]
How 8 former 49ers fared in their Week 1 debuts with their new teams
None of the San Francisco 49ers from a year ago signed lucrative deals like in years past. In fact, most are role players, with only a couple of starters. Still, we’ll track how former 49ers performed throughout the year. There’s no better week to do it than Week 1, when overreactions are rampant. Jauan Jennings […]
Dolphins offer 49ers a chance to build on their most surprising Week 1 strength
That the 49ers are massive favorites over the Miami Dolphins in Week 2 will be absolutely no surprise to anybody. San Francisco is coming off a huge win over the Super Bowl favorites, while the Dolphins are likely to be in the conversation for the first overall pick and were beaten comfortably by the Las […]
NFL Week 2 power rankings: 49ers behind Rams despite Week 1 win
We had a fun NFL slate wrap up in blowout fashion on Monday night, as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 31-10 to cap a memorable Week 1. There were some timely upsets, some close battles, and then some blowouts between good teams. Kansas City had one of those games. The San Francisco […]
49ers News: NFL Week 1 is officially in the books
I was watching two more of our opponents play on Monday Night Football, and I feel even more confident in predicting that the 49ers will beat the Broncos in week 4… and slightly less confident that we can beat the Chiefs in week 16. Denver’s ILB Alex Singleton had 5 missed tackles, so not only […]
Should the 49ers buy more into the RB committee after Week 1?
The San Francisco 49ers dismantled the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, thrashing them 27-7 in a dominant performance where they excelled in all phases of the game. One of the most notable takeaways was how San Francisco neutralized the Rams’ defensive line, as they were able to run the ball 30 times for 174 […]
49ers listed as a potential trade target for disgruntled Steelers CB
The San Francisco 49ers will be a trade target for just about every position out there as the season goes along. Week 1 was a mirage, and the battle of attrition can prove to be costly. One area where the 49ers did not struggle in Week 1 was at cornerback. Renardo Green was flagged for […]
What will the 49ers do during De’Zhaun Stribling’s absence?
The San Francisco 49ers made it back from Australia with a big victory, but rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling suffered an ankle injury and will miss some time. Stribling started the game with veteran Mike Evans, which is a sign of his big involvement. Unfortunately, after just over 20 snaps, Stribling was carted off. His […]
11 Winners from the 49ers’ blowout win over the Rams
When you outclass your opponent in the way that the San Francisco 49ers did to the Los Angeles Rams, it’s difficult to come up with multiple “losers.” The Niners won by 20, but it felt like the margin was greater. Brock Purdy’s QBR was 50 points higher than the other starter. The running game averaged […]
NFC West Recap: 49ers in first place after Week 1; the Rams are not
Welcome to the weekly NFC West recap. For those of you new to the program, we’ll do a rundown of how the San Francisco 49ers are faring against their other NFC West rivals and any news from those games that might be noteworthy. And we begin things with who is in the lead. First, all […]
49ers News: We’re on to Miami
The 49ers’ Week 2 opponent played yesterday, and they seemed like they’d be competitive this season. For a chance to draft Jeremiah Smith. Maybe he’ll be a good #2 to Caleb Douglas, who looks legit. But besides him, the Miami Dolphins looked totally hapless against the Las Vegas Raiders. Of all the many nits available […]
Report: Rams DL Myles Garrett to undergo knee surgery
The San Francisco 49ers played well on Thursday in their 27-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. So good, the Rams’ recently acquired defensive lineman, Myles Garrett, didn’t show up on the stat sheet. Well, we may have an answer as to why: reports say Garrett will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery and be placed on injured reserve. The minimum […]
49ers’ rookie De’Zhaun Stribling to miss ‘at least a month’ with deltoid sprain in ankle
When San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling suffered an injury in Week 1 against the Rams, it seemed like we were headed for the dreaded worst-case scenario, as it was a non-contact injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Stribling’s Achilles was still intact, which was great news. After Stribling needed further testing, […]
Brock Purdy makes history after Rams win
We’ve been talking about both the suffocating defense and Brock Purdy’s effectiveness in the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 1 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Here, we’re going to do a bit more on the former, because there’s a nice Brock Purdy stat to bring up here, if you don’t mind. With his 25-for-34 passing […]
49ers News: Nothing better than having NFL football back on the TV
Those opening chimes of the first Red Zone of the season can make a grown man cry. Especially without any 49ers-related stress. We don’t even have much to NFC West hate-watching today either. Happy opening week y’all. Can’t wait for week 2. 49ers minutia minute: Why Kyle Shanahan gave such effusive praise to Renardo Green […]
