While his penalties led to some points vs BAL, Gipson has been excellent this season.Would Logan Ryan and Gipson be the worst starting safety pair in the league? Woof. Hopefully Brown heals quickly.
Interesting and encouraging. He has a 72 PFF rating which is decent (good?) but not elite as far as I can tell.While his penalties led to some points vs BAL, Gipson has been excellent this season.Would Logan Ryan and Gipson be the worst starting safety pair in the league? Woof. Hopefully Brown heals quickly.
Gipson in coverage this season (597 snaps):
25.2 passer rating against (#1 among safeties)
0 touchdowns allowed (#1 among safeties)
He hasn’t given up a TD since becoming starting safety at the start of last season — 1,365 snaps in coverage.
It’s not just you, Colin S. Per Pro Football Focus, the 49ers have 120 missed tackles this season. Through 15 games last season, they had 79.
Their 120 tackles are the 21st-most in the NFL, though the 49ers have been on a missed-tackle tear since they went to Cleveland in Week 6. Before that, they had the fewest number of missed tackles (24) in the league. Since then, they have had the third most (96) behind the Seattle Seahawks (109) and Jacksonville Jaguars (105).
That pattern seems to support the “fatigue” explanation for the miscues because the personnel has largely been the same all season. For example, only two players who started Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers — Talanoa Hufanga and Arik Armstead — were absent in Monday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. (They were replaced by Javon Kinlaw and Ji’Ayir Brown, respectively.)
Here is the 49ers’ top 10 in terms of missed tackles this season. Where applicable, I included in parentheses the player’s 2022 total, which includes three playoff games:
Fred Warner: 24 (18)
Dre Greenlaw: 16 (11)
Nick Bosa: 8 (3)
Deommodore Lenoir: 8 (9)
Isaiah Oliver: 8
Tashaun Gipson Sr.: 7 (2)
Randy Gregory: 7 (in 10 games with SF)
Brown: 6
Clelin Ferrell: 6
Charvarius Ward: 5 (2)
He has 10 touches already and its only the 2nd driveIf the Niners are controlling this game and CMC still has 20+ touches, I'm going to be back in here complaining extensively about Shanahan. Just be forewarned.
This is insane. Totally insane.He has 10 touches already and its only the 2nd driveIf the Niners are controlling this game and CMC still has 20+ touches, I'm going to be back in here complaining extensively about Shanahan. Just be forewarned.
He will be fine. Looks like he could go back in if he had to, but Mitchell is holding it down.Well CMC is hurt![]()
I certainly hope soHe will be fine. Looks like he could go back in if he had to, but Mitchell is holding it down.Well CMC is hurt![]()
Welp you may have got your wish. Barring a miracle, you guys get a couple weeks to get healthy.Cardinals are giving the Eagles a fight. If they pull out a win, we will have the #1 seed sewn up today.
49ers are just 2 wins from being in the Super Bowl. 3 wins from a Lombardi.
Hopefully he doesn't even put pads on next week. He could use a nice double bye.I certainly hope soHe will be fine. Looks like he could go back in if he had to, but Mitchell is holding it down.Well CMC is hurt![]()
They'd have to make it that far first.If the playoffs ended right now, I think it would be more likely than not that we'd get the Eagles in the divisional round.
They'd still be favored over the NFC South winner so that's why I said more likely than not.They'd have to make it that far first.If the playoffs ended right now, I think it would be more likely than not that we'd get the Eagles in the divisional round.
lol, Eagles in the divisional round. They should have to cede their current five seed to Florida State.If the playoffs ended right now, I think it would be more likely than not that we'd get the Eagles in the divisional round.
Yep, full exhibition game mode to the extent possible.They should rest Trent Williams this week too which means no way in hell Purdy should play. Kittle sits too. Darnold at QB with Bell and Willie Snead at WR![]()
