49ers regular season game notes

Raheem Mostert will be a game-time decision (knee). Deebo Samuel is currently sick, not COVID-related. If he gets over it by Sunday, he will play, but for now questionable.

Richard Sherman had a setback & won’t play against the Rams :banghead:

Kwon Alexander has an high ankle sprain...

One of the podcasts I listened to said that there will be a house cleaning in Atlanta, including getting out from under Ryan's contract.

So the speculation is that Ryan might end up on the 49ers, because they noted that 49ers are year by year on Garoppolo's contract now, so they can move on from him after each season with minimal cap hit.

Obviously because of the ties between Kyle and Ryan, who hasn't played well so far for the Falcons.

I don't know, could Ryan be effective without Julio Jones?

Eww hell nah, Matt Ryan is done. I do not want that trash on the roster.

We're playing for the draft pick at this point. Get a nice, high pick in the first and second rounds, get that cushy fourth-place schedule, and look out league in 2021.

Incidentally, I and others have been saying for some time now that our training staff is no good. We're seeing it yet again this year. Lots of teams are dealing with more injuries than normal, but this is absurd, and the training staff has to bear a decent portion of the blame. We're chronically among the most injured teams in the league, and that doesn't seem like just bad luck at this point.

Ronald Blair had a setback. Shocking. Why does that seem to happen on this team with so much frequency?

This training staff is pathetic. I’ve never seen so many players have “setbacks” on one team before like this.

On Blair, this is what Shanahan said: “Ronald Blair did have a setback. Had to redo some things to his knee, some stuff they messed up in it. He’s doing a lot better from that but that’s why he’s going to be a couple weeks later.”

Curious about the some stuff "they" messed up in it. Who is/are "they"? Did the medical staff not perform the procedure correctly? Why aren't any journalists following up on this to determine if this is a sign of a bigger problem, either with Blair or with the medical staff?

There could be complications. My ACL and rehab mostly went well, though there were times when there was some swelling.

But I know others who had a harder time, even those who only had their knees scoped.

You would think with a professional training staff that they get way more attention than average people who get PT sessions would though.

Yeah, the training staff leaves a lot to be desired.

The team has piled up injuries each of the last 2 seasons. Deebo had a setback with his foot, Sherman had a setback with his calf, Blair had a setback with his knee, and both the other guys on PUP (Richburg/Taylor) are now not even expected to get their practice window opened until week 10 at the earliest.

Hurd never seeing the field in 2 seasons, McKinnon being shelved for 2 full seasons, and Verrett not playing at all last season all immediately come to mind as additional concerns with the training staff.

The amount of new injuries & existing injury complications isn't all bad luck or caused by bad turf, something is flawed within the system.

But hey, at least Richie James just got activated from IR.

To be fair, the CB opposite Verrett has been so bad until this past week that teams haven't really needed to test him. That said, all signs are that Verrett is playing very well. He may not be quite back to where he was, but he's close.

Honestly, I almost find this more frustrating than anything. If we still had Bosa and Ford up front, and our CBs had stayed even a little healthy, we should be 6-0 right now. Grrrrr.....

What is the prognosis for Ford's return?

To have any chance of competing with Seattle and other NFC teams at the top of the playoffs race, Ford has to get back and be in top form.

I don't think there's any word. I get the sense it could be a long time. Possibly career ending.

There is no clear cut front runner in the NFC. Maybe Tampa?

The Hawks defense can't stop anyone. The Rams look good one week, then struggle the next. Same goes for the Cards. The Packers just got manhandled by the Bucs. Tampa lost to Chicago the previous week. The Bears still have Foles/Trubisky.

At this point, Hawks appears to be the class of the conference, but I agree that their D is a problem. Though there offense is good enough to make up for it. Can't forget the Saints, who have been struggling, but their offense should be a lot better once they get Thomas back. They should be right in the mix.

Part of why I'm so furious about the losses to the Cards and Eagles is because this conference is wide open. If we had won those games - and both were very winnable - we'd be right up there with the favorites even with the loss to the Dolphins. Having lost them, well it's easier to envision making the playoffs at this point (NE, Packers, Saints, Rams not looking as tough as they did a few weeks ago), but winning the division is a tremendous longshot.

Maybe I'm too close to the team, but I just don't see it. For as good as Russ has been, the roster has too many deficiencies on the other side of the ball. Zero pass rush. No depth at Corner. The offensive line so far has performed well. But one key injury, and it all goes to ****. Honestly, the Rams are a better team. **** if the Niners we're fully healthy, they'd also be better.

The Hawks should be 4-1, possibly 3-2. Have been very very fortunate.

From your lips to God's ears. Ha! No doubt the Hawks have plenty of holes, but they also have the heavy favorite for league MVP, and that covers a lot of blemishes. As long as they have Russ, Lockett, and Metcalf, not to mention Carson, they're going to be able to threaten any team in the league in any week. Their D may get exposed more and more going forward, but this year especially, any team could have a devastating injury at any time.

If we hadn't lost Bosa, I'd still like our chances just fine. Even at 3-3. But without Bosa, and Ford in purgatory, we have a worse pass rush than the Hawks. It's frustrating, because we actually have really good CB depth (when healthy) this year, which was our clearest weakness last year on defense. Without a pass rush, the D can't be elite. And as much as I like the potential of our offense, I don't have faith in our OL and QB to trust that side of the ball to carry the team.
