Good to hear. While they miss him as a receiver, their run game really suffers when he is out. Great player. If he had played in a pass heavy offense his whole career, his numbers would be off the chart good with his RAC ability.

Too much money tied into this year, talented enough team to get healthy and hit and get things on track again even if they somehow lose to the Pats.

It's like 2020 all over again.
49ers defensive tackle Jordan Elliott (foot) apparently got carted off from practice, after backup linebacker Curtis Robinson also carted off with knee injury
After losing Javon Hargrave, the hope had been that a big run stopper like Elliott might be able to fill in more snaps and at least help the run defense.

The San Francisco 49ers, in preparation for their Sunday matchup against the New England Patriots, have announced the following roster moves:
I'm hoping Anderson can plug the middle and give us a boost in run defense.
- Promoted DE Sam Okuayinonu to the active roster
- Elevated DT Evan Anderson (standard elevation)
- Elevated S Jaylen Mahoney (standard elevation)
- Placed DT Javon Hargrave on IR (injured reserve)
- Placed LB Curtis Robinson on IR
I'm hoping Anderson can plug the middle and give us a boost in run defense.

I love Deebo but with how good Jennings is playing the 49ers should ship Deebo (possibly Aiyuk)

The San Francisco 49ers opened the practice window for defensive tackle Kalia Davis on Wednesday but chose not to do the same for rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who remains on the non-football injury (NFI) list.
Ahead of Wednesday's practice, head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked why Pearsall's practice window hadn't been opened.
"Just don't feel he's ready to (practice) this week," Shanahan told reporters.
"I know he's really close, and when he's good to go, himself and the medical staff, we will be pumped to have him back. He's a hell of a player," Shanahan added.
The coach also noted that Pearsall's shoulder injury, which had kept him out of the preseason, was fully healed before the incident on August 31.

New and big: 49ers have run to the right — a past weakness — more often than they've run to the left. And they've shot up from 4.1 to 5.7 YPC on such runs. Big credit to rookie Dominick Puni and Colton McKivitz's strides as a run blocker.

Last year’s leading scorer was Christian McCaffrey (he had 7tds in the first 4 weeks)
So far this year it’s Jake Moody — by a wide margin.
In 4 games this season, Moody has already kicked 11 field goals, which is more than half his total (21) last season.

Team sucks. Not making the playoffs. Shanny is being exposed.

Falls on 1 guy.This is the second time in three games this season that the 49ers' win probability was over 85% midway through the 4th quarter, and they lost.

There’s a reason I stopped caring after the SB. This was the most obvious outcome after that debacle. I still like Brock, but he’ll prob be getting criticized too.
Yeah, after that first pick he threw, Kyle should have benched himself, but no, he tries to play hero ball and run it in himself for the game clinching TD and fumbles. Then with a chance to come back and win the game, Kyle throws ANOTHER pick. WTF is he thinking? And don’t get me started on his role in getting Moody hurt. Another loss due to his self indulgent behavior

Schefter:
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said kicker Jake Moody suffered a high ankle sprain today and is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks. “So we'll get (a kicker) in as fast as possible and get the best guy we can,” Shanahan said. “I'm sure it'll have to be for a few weeks or whatever.”

So no adjustments from Sorenson when teams show different looks?? WTF is going on over there?
DE Nick Bosa on Arizona's run game success late:
"They were giving us a different look on the zone read and I think in all of our losses, the preparation we've had has been great, but teams are playing us different and doing things differently and we need to adjust a little better, just showing different looks than what we were looking at on tape."

1. Losing Moody cost them the game. They had to go for it on 4th & long because Moody was out. He kicks that FG & the game is over.
2. They really, really miss CMC. Mason has been a nice story, but their offensive scheme just isn’t as creative without CMC. Also, a couple of those long runs Mason broke would have likely been CMC house calls. Mason is also a zero in the receiving game, taking away a short area weapon from Purdy. Those are chain-moving plays.
Better times ahead. It’s still early and they’re still a very good football team.

Great point #2.
Red Zone cut to the game just as Brady was making an observation of why CMC is so important to their offense.
He showed formations with CMC on the field and this year without.
How he opens up lanes for Deebo and Kittle.
And how it affects the defense when he lines up at a receiver position.
Not Brady's biggest fan but it was interesting.

They were talking last night about how the 49ers installed all their red zone packages in training camp, and those packages were designed around having CMC. It doesn't appear that they've changed those packages, and they don't work quite as well without CMC, hence the red zone issues.
I can totally buy that. Shanahan doesn't seem to be a competent in-game adjuster.
I still think he should get an OC to call plays (it seemed to work in the preseason OK) and maybe he could devote more time to defense and special teams, but I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
The good news is even though we've dropped 2 division games, the NFC West is wide open and we can still win it. Can and will are 2 different things, but the season is not lost....yet.

Seattle lost an epic one yesterday, too. That BFGTD was huge for the Niners.
At home against the Giants without Nabors. So much for their “revolutionary” defense.
Mason doesn't look bad catching the ball. I wonder why they are so reluctant to throw to him. Maybe he's not ever in the right place or something.
The one observation I had from yesterday is that Purdy is holding the ball waaaaay too long. Not sure if that's him trying to be a hero, being indecisive, or the play calling not being on point. But you can't drop back that many times without seeming like you have a plan.

Word is he's not a good route runner. Little dump-offs are fine, but he isn't running crossing routes or splitting out wide like they did with CMC.
The spacing just isn't the same without that threat - it's impacting Deebo as well.
I'd heard his hands were a problem but he seems to be holding onto passes. Even if he can't run routes like CMC, you'd think he looks good enough to handle a higher volume of 3rd down back duties and dump off passes than he has been.
