  • Oct 12 Eric Branch (X) Some athletes achieve one-name status — Tiger, Ali, Steph — and there are those such as Mike Evans - always his full name - a WR who didn’t seem to sweat as he took over Sunday while, oh by the way, playing with broken ribs. "That's Mike Evans."

  • Oct 9 David Lombardi (X) Looks like I was right on this, too. Just like I've been on Purdy · Quoting David Lombardi: Mike Evans will likely have a bigger positive impact on the 49ers than Myles Garrett has on the Rams. It’s simple logic. LA already had a top-8 pass rush win rate last year and wasn’t deficient at DE. Jared Verse is an upper-tier player. Meanwhile, SF was very deficient at WR — particularly the X, a spot that’ll trigger compounding returns in Shanahan’s offense. The Rams’ pass rush should be better. The 49ers’ WR corps can be transformed. All additions happen in the context of a team sport
  • Oct 9 RotoBaller NFL Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 5? Josh Downs, Alvin Kamara, Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, Michael Wilson, Brian Robinson, Jaylen Warren, Woody Marks, Tre' Harris
  • Oct 9 David Lombardi (X) Time to expand on this: Does no Kyle Juszczyk mean that the 49ers will lean more heavily into 11 personnel? Seattle, with its nickel reliance, essentially dares teams to go heavy. But that hasn’t worked too well for offenses. And 49ers can now go bigger with 3-WR sets (Deebo).. · Quoting David Lombardi: Seattle essentially didn't leave its nickel package and still shut down the 49ers' run game late last season. A big SF problem: They didn't have a healthy plus-WR to threaten any separation that could, in turn, space the run game. A healthy Ricky Pearsall actually tilted the Week 1 game in the 49ers' favor. So both of these guys, whom SF didn't have last season, will be key for very specific reasons: Mike Evans for spacing and perimeter blocking — making running vs nickel more manageable. And Deebo Samuel for his multi-positional versatility: He's strong enough to bruise lighter defensive packages without committing the 49ers to run or pass, regardless of where he lines up. Elite…

  • Oct 12 David Lombardi (X) It's easy to forget that Brock Purdy was on one to begin the game.

• Beat writer David Lombardi (X) SEA SF Brock PurdyQB Deebo Samuel Sr.WR Mike EvansWR Ricky PearsallWR Oct 6
  Seattle essentially didn't leave its nickel package and still shut down the 49ers' run game late last season. A big SF problem: They didn't have a healthy plus-WR to threaten any separation that could, in turn, space the run game. A healthy Ricky Pearsall actually tilted the Week 1 game in the 49ers' favor. So both of these guys, whom SF didn't have last season, will be key for very specific reasons: Mike Evans for spacing and perimeter blocking — making running vs nickel more manageable. And Deebo Samuel for his multi-positional versatility: He's strong enough to bruise lighter defensive packages without committing the 49ers to run or pass, regardless of where he lines up. Elite tactical battle coming between Kyle Shanahan and Mike Macdonald. And one has to assume that Brock Purdy's off-schedule ability — which can create opportunities beyond the box that the two schematic masterminds cook up — will be necessary if the 49ers are to pull the upset Show all

  • Sep 30 David Lombardi (X) The Rams were doing fine against the Broncos when running the ball — Kyren Williams managed nearly 6 yards per carry. Then LA began playing into Denver’s hands, and the Broncos pressured Stafford into the Hufanga pick 6. 49ers’ lesson: Control the game on the ground and with the quick passing game, a la Week 1 or the second half of Week 3 · Quoting David Lombardi: The Broncos have been terrible against the run so far this season. Like, #32 (dead last) in EPA against the run. They missed 24 (!!) tackles vs Kansas City and allowed 5 yards/pop vs LA. Weird early-season anomaly? Maybe. Denver ranked #8 EPA vs the run in 2025. Still, remember how the 49ers pared down their game plan after Mike Evans got hurt last week and recommitted to the run/short-passing game. It seems that this strategy might fit perfectly vs a Broncos team that has been weirdly terrible vs the run — AND has a very threatening pass rush (Denver led the NFL with 68 sacks last season)...
