- John Lynch on KNBR: “That was one of the best collective efforts from our secondary that we’ve had in a long time around here. That’s where Raheem cut his teeth.” Lynch adds that Morris ID'd Renardo Green immediately after joining the 49ers as a player who could blossom in 2026 · Quoting David Lombardi: The dime package the 49ers employed for 8 snaps in Week 1 was a great glimpse into the MAJOR 2026 defensive evolution. More on that later... The most ridiculous part of the fake Renardo Green trade rumors this offseason: Corner was actually the 49ers' defensive strength last season. SF just didn't have a pass rush, and Saleh's system (like any system) was reliant on that. Now they have a rush, and Raheem Morris also has a PHD in DB play. Week 1 saw Morris unleash the 49ers' CBs in much more aggressive, frequent cushion-free/press-man fashion. Morris trusted his corners to make big plays, and Green delivered when he fooled Matthew Stafford — who didn't see him before his sprint back…

- 4d David Lombardi (X) Expanding on this: The 49ers used their newfound DB orientation, rooted in their new DB-oriented DC, to run 2-high defenses at the highest rate of the Shanahan era. Prior years had already seen significant coverage evolutions — especially the Cover-4 shift of 2019, but 2026 looks to be the biggest defensive shift yet in this Shanahan decade. (Factor in the big increase in 5-man fronts, too) · Quoting David Lombardi: The dime package the 49ers employed for 8 snaps in Week 1 was a great glimpse into the MAJOR 2026 defensive evolution. More on that later... The most ridiculous part of the fake Renardo Green trade rumors this offseason: Corner was actually the 49ers' defensive strength last season.
