2024 49ers Season

[CrimsonCrew]

Kupp confirmed out. Rams will be down both their top WRs, their top TE, and three of five of their season-starting OL. Though they will be getting back their actual starting LT from suspension.

No excuse to drop one to these guys. Almost a must-win game for us. Though definitely a must-win game for them.

Deebo is out two weeks

Doesn't change my view of this game. Sam Darnold just cut through our D like warm butter throwing to a bunch of guys I can't name. Even without CMC and Deebo, we need to be able to move the ball against these guys. My view is that it's on Kyle as much as Purdy to show he can game plan without his chess pieces.

[Harry Palmer]

This season feels a lot like the injury filled season in 2020....

That's why most everyone wants Purdy to get his gucci bag, before he gets hurt again and out for the season. Then the backup will step in and guide this super team to the SB, just like Purdy did when JimmyG was out for the season. It makes sense to me

Didn’t Kyle sitting Trent for Wk 1 and intentionally losing to make his buddy/tree look better also somehow make sense to you?

[Harry Palmer]

Rams to be without Kupp against the Niners in addition to already missing Puka. Their OL is also banged up. Niners however will be without Deebo for a couple weeks due to calf strain Shanahan just announced. Sucks because he's really been playing well. Mr Hold Out needs to shake off the damn rust. Jennings and Kittle will obviously be featured more now. I would love to see youngsters like Bell and Cowing step up. Next man up let's go!

Cohn has been raving about Cowing. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a stud.

I like Grant more than most, in limited doses, but his track record as a pro scout is pretty awful.

To be fair, John Lynch's ain't great in the early rounds, either....

Agreed that Grant isn't completely awful. And at times he presents a nice counterpoint to the Lombardis of the world. But he does go in for more catastrophizing than I would like.

[Harry Palmer]

Didn't see it anywhere here but according to Rapoport the feeling is that CMC will need at least 6 weeks to recover.

Guess the good news as I've seen some different thoughts on it but his risk to rupture the Achillies is low and one doctor who commented on it is the risk is only like 4% to 10% greater. I think a lot of people confused tendonitis with tendinosis where I think the latter is the one where it's only a matter of time where it pops. Tendonitis can become tendinosis but I'm sure the kind of medical treatment CMC is getting they'll make sure it doesn't progress to that level.

Shefter agreed with Rapp and went more into it. He said Friday’s practice was the worst CMC’s Achilles has felt. That was after weeks of rest. He said the kind of calf/Achilles that gets worse resting is unlikely to get better with more rest, and intimated this is likely to end with either surgery or playing, popping, surgery.

Re: Cowing specifically, I think Cohn is basing that on how he has looking in practice and the game rather than his college tape. Cowing showed some promise in the preseason. If we're struggling to get guys open quickly, he should get more looks.

McCaffrey wasn't resting. He was practicing. No one really knows what is going on with CMC, but several doctors have said what they're hearing suggests he is not at particularly significant risk for an Achilles tear. Let's hope that's true.

Yeah, he leans more and more into polemics for clicks. In fairness he’s gotten pretty good at it, and simply as a content guy he generates interest with regularity, and always having something to say regardless of the situation is great broadcasting. But I can get tired with his act very quickly, and don’t watch nearly as much as I once did, more occasionally. I do respect being as critical as he is and showing up in front of the subjects of his criticisms every day, he’s no coward…and he has done a ton to help new 9ers media guys get a platform, and I like that he’ll even show his father being seriously critical of him, so I think he’s probably an interesting guy to meet, but I can’t watch him when feeling down about the team, he just gravedances too much.

Yeah, some criticism is certainly fair. They should have won the SB last year. Arguably two years ago, too. But at the end of the day, about 28 NFL teams would change recent track records with the Niners without thinking twice. But for that elusive SB win, they have been the second-most successful team in the league during Shanahan's tenure. That's hard to do, especially when you're hemorrhaging assistant coaches.

Cohn has been raving about Cowing. Wouldn't be surprised if he's a stud.

If Cohn is raving, he will probably amount to nothing

Cohn was spot on about Mason.

He has been wrong far more. Even a clown like Cohn can throw darts and get it right once in awhile

Scouting RBs is just a tiny bit easier than QBs.

So far as QBs, again, we're talking about a guy who called Lance the best QB prospect since Elway. I sure hope he's right about Cowing. Lots of other people have thought highly of Cowing both before the draft and in camp/preseason. If Cowing was two inches taller and/or 15 pounds heavier, he probably would have gone two rounds higher than he did.

Deebo is out two weeks

And Kyle had him returning kicks: why? That is just taking an unnecessary risk with one of your stars. Maybe some good will come out of this if the young guys get some time and show they can produce.

Interesting article that I admittedly skimmed on insuring star players. The biggest takeaway for me was that there is some mechanism under which this can actually result in cap savings.

Possible silver lining to the CMC injury.

Looks like Hufanga should be back this week. That's great news. The safeties repeatedly blew assignments on Sunday. Hopefully Huf will shore that up a bit.

More bodies at safety can't hurt given how poorly they played against the Vikings. The challenge is that Huf, Brown, Odum and Mustafa all seem better as run-stuffers in the box and don't have the speed or coverage skills to cover deep or against big slot receivers. That is where we miss a Tashaun Gipson, who had that skillset and thus paired very well with either Huf or Brown.

I have to imagine he is going to be rusty for a couple games

[Harry Palmer]

Watched some more film, this was easily the worst game Trent has had in years. This contract stuff costs us every **** year.

Still think it's a burner cause no one else here approves of every freakin' one of his opinions. He can't even get the tune right Lol
