The 49ers are finally using three safeties, and it’s working 49ers DC Robert Saleh is mixing things up with his approach on defense, including a new role for Ji’Ayir Brown.

The 49ers have already had first-hand look at trade candidate who could help replace Nick Bosa The 49ers likely can’t replace Nick Bosa, but they can acquire a player who can help them recreate him in the aggregate.

The 49ers can't replace Nick Bosa with one player, but there's a defensive end they can theoretically trade for who would raise the floor of the collective who will try to fill the void.

Trent Williams on Ricky Pearsall: β€œI think he’s going to cement himself as one of the top receivers in the league here soon.”

Warner on Dee Winters: β€œI’m so happy for Dee. He’s just scratching the surface of what he’s capable of doing. He’s got that big-play ability in his body. We’re going to need him to just keep getting better every week.”

Juszczyk: β€œWe know we’re not a finished product. 3-0, and 2-0 in the division, it’s a great place to be.”

Shanahan on Pearsall: β€œIt’s how Ricky’s been for a while. It’s one of the reasons we wanted to draft him here. Hasn’t disappointed us at all.”

Shanahan on the three β€˜grimy’ wins: β€œI’ve just been so proud of the guys in all three games. Those are some of the games that we struggled to win last year. To win all three, can’t say about them.”

The 49ers can’t rule anything out with Nick Bosa’s injury, but he’s been cleared for an ACL on initial tests, says Kyle Shanahan.

The objection was more based around throwing it from there. Anyway, all worked out in the end.

The 49ers, with Mac Jones on one leg, and half the roster looking like the black knight from Monty Python, are 3-0.

Kyle Shanahan might finally win Coach of the Year in 2025.

I have no earthly idea why Mac Jones on one leg is in the shotgun from his own end zone but it just cost the 49ers a safety.

Fred Warner sparing Mac Jones’ blushes with a huge batted pass on third down.

Yeah it’s generally advisable to cover athletes like him!

49ers’ lead is gone in a blink. An atrocious defensive series.

21.09.2025 22:52 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Mac Jones on one leg gives the 49ers the lead with a dime to Pearsall and a TD on the bootleg to Juszczyk. This game makes no sense. Compels me though.

49ers defense almost forces a safety as Kyler Murray scrambles into an intentional grounding penalty. This is a wild rock fight.

49ers’ best drive of the day ends in disaster. Mac Jones can barely move with an apparent leg injury, and the 49ers turn it over on downs at the goal line.

That Demercado drop a monumental break for the 49ers, who nearly paid a much bigger price for failing to get off the field on fourth and 4.

Nick Bosa out for the rest of the game.

Bryce Huff ends the half with a sack of Murray. 49ers lead 6-3 and get the ball to start the second half.

Decent two-minute drive from the 49ers. Pineiro puts them ahead with a 51-yarder.

Kalia Davis is having an outstanding game for the 49ers.

21.09.2025 21:22 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The answer is yes, but a 49ers drive that had them in the high red zone stalls and an Eddy Pineiro field goal ties it at 3-3.

Cardinals on the board first with a field goal. Now back to the big question, can the 49ers get a first down before half?

21.09.2025 21:08 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 1

Nick Bosa questionable with a knee injury

That coverage on third down from Upton Stout was not his best
