Maybe the Niners just made the unfortunate mistake of looking for a franchise QB in a draft where Trevor Lawrence turned out to be the on;y good one.
-First half looked EASY. Like just ripping up a very good Steelers defense on the road. Totally agree we took our foot off the gas for most of the 2nd half; and we still punched them in the mouth to an easy win.
-Drake Jackson might quickly be ascending into a star. Our nascar package on 3rd downs is downright filthy.
-Hargrave didn't show up much on the stat sheet, but if you watch him, he's commanding doubles and was freeing up the LB's all game long. One of Warner's nasty back-field hits was only possible because of the tremendous push Hargrave got. He's gonna be sick.
-Purdy is just flat out good. Makes quick decisive reads, gets the ball out on target and takes what the defense gives him. And the real important element with him is that when we need him to make an explosive play; either creating time in the backfield to find a throw, or attacking downfield, he has that in his bag when needed. Had a play in the late 2nd where a corner had a free run at him, he felt the pressure, spun out of the hit and throws a dart to Deebo for the first down. That sort of playmaking has been the Achilles heel of the Jimmy G run offenses; he's just physically incapable of making that play.
-Most RB's don't matter, but CMC certainly does. His vision and patience when hitting a hole is just flat out incredible to watch and he's just so damn explosive. Not to mention being the best RB route runner in the NFL.
Pass rush will need to be good for the Rams next week - Stafford smoked the Seachickens @ SEA, whose defense didn't look good. Rams defense are also better than the Steelers defense......down Kupp, I thought the Rams would have trouble scoring, but not at all. Not gonna be as easy as last season I dont think. If the 49ers play a clean game without turnovers, they have the upperhand, but must perform.
While Jones is getting nothing done, as a non-expert it sure seems to me that the Giants' offensive line is really really really really really really really bad, so it's not like there's much he could possibly do. Six sacks already? Yeesh.
I hate games in the elements - alot.....turned the game off at 16-0. The Bengal/Browns game was similarly one-sided in the rain....
