Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, Nick Sorensen preview 49ers-Rams<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, quarterback Brock Purdy, and defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen spoke to reporters ahead of Tuesday\u2019s practice as the team prepares for its Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Here\u2019s everything they said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018A little frustrated, for sure\u2019: 49ers\u2019 Deebo Samuel on his low-yield season (paywall)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cKittle noted that Samuel\u2019s modest stat line against Chicago wasn\u2019t due to a lack of effort but because of scheme. He noted that the Bears defensive ends had been playing a certain way all season and the 49ers entered the game thinking they could exploit that tendency with plays to Samuel. Those defensive ends, however, suddenly started playing differently Sunday, perhaps because the Bears parted ways with head coach Matt Eberflus, who had called the defensive plays, in the run-up to the 49ers game.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately for a couple of those, they had better calls than the play we called \u2013 some type of pressure or how they switched their defense up,\u201d Kittle said. \u201cOr we didn\u2019t execute those blocks for him in the ways that we should have. I think Deebo\u2019s very close to breaking them wide open. So I\u2019m very excited for him this Thursday. Because I think he\u2019s gonna have one of those amazing Deebo Thursday night games against the Rams. That\u2019s what I see.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

49ers game review: Why Brock Purdy protecting Ricky Pearsall matters (paywall)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s frustrated \u2014 not in the throw,\u201d Vilma said. \u201cHe\u2019s frustrated in Pearsall bending that route to a post instead of staying down the seam.\u201d<\/p>\n

Purdy\u2019s competitiveness was evident after the throw, but his accountability was evident after the game. I\u2019ve covered 12 starting quarterbacks in 15 seasons on the 49ers beat and none have been better than Purdy when it comes to discussing his on-field mistakes, avoiding mitigation and, yes, even lying to protect his teammates…..\u201cI thought he was going to keep it a little bit skinnier up the field and then he saw space,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cSo he sort of cut across and I just threw the ball early and sort of anticipated and I missed him. I think his decision on going across the middle of the field was a great decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I would\u2019ve laid the ball right there for him, it would\u2019ve been a touchdown. So it\u2019s something that he and I \u2014 we talked about and I told him, \u2018We\u2019ve just got to keep growing together and learning each other and seeing each other in and out of cuts.\u2019 But that\u2019s something that I missed on him. He executed his job.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers overreactions: Can team go on a run after win vs. Bears?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cBut it might be that it\u2019s already too late to turn their season around.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Seahawks lead the NFC West with an 8-5 record. The 49ers are 6-7.<\/p>\n

Seattle\u2019s final four games are at home against Green Bay and Minnesota, and on the road at Chicago and the Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 49ers face the Rams at home on Thursday, followed by at Miami, home against Detroit and at Arizona.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk again if the 49ers close to within a game after this week with a win against the Rams and a Seattle loss to the Packers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Hutchinson: The 49ers\u2019 pregame speeches won\u2019t be what saves them<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cFred Warner seemed a bit uncomfortable with all of that talk, and rightfully so.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s been talk about desperation around the building ever since that game this past Sunday,\u201d Warner said. \u201cI haven\u2019t really talked about it much, because I felt like that was already the feeling the last few weeks. It just hadn\u2019t really come together like you wanted it to\u2026 I don\u2019t want it to get lost that we didn\u2019t go out there in Green Bay, we didn\u2019t go out there in Buffalo saying, \u2018Let\u2019s just hope that we win.\u2019 Like, trust me, I felt desperate as hell going into both those games. It just didn\u2019t work out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers\u2019 deserved credit for the resounding win. Credit was given. Having Purdy and Lenoir speak up was a smart move on Shanahan\u2019s part, and mature on theirs.<\/p>\n

But to hold those speeches up like they were season-altering is wildly overstating what the 49ers did Sunday and what they\u2019ve shown us this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Report: 49ers strategically restructure Hargrave\u2019s contract<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe move reportedly drops Hargrave\u2019s 2025 salary cap hit from $28.1 million to $10.3 million, potentially opening the door for a post-June 1 release.<\/p>\n

The previous cost to release Hargrave would have been $28.1 million if using the June 1 designation. After the restructure, the 49ers now can cut Hargrave at a cost of just 10.3 million with a post-June 1 designation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
