Quinn said of Butler being named a captain this week: “A competitor and fearless guy; the team loves this guy.” He said he loved how crazy the team went when he announced Butler as a capt. for this week. Was telling.

Daboll said he has “no concern” about WR Malik Nabers. Daboll said Nabers reported his knee didn’t “feel right” during practice yesterday so they played it safe. But Daboll expects Nabers to practice fully today and play on Sunday.

Dan Quinn doesn’t want Jayden Daniels running the ball as much

He wants him to stick with the designed runs & otherwise, hang in the pocket, get rid of the ball if it’s not there, move onto the next play

MANY thoughts here

On Jayden and the discussion of when to run etc. It’s not as simple as just run less or run more..

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan on putting Christian McCaffrey on IR:

“Something we’re considering now. Yesterday was his worst day. It’s on and off, but with yesterday having the most pain, it’s something we’re going to discuss in the next 24 hours.”

Per the NFL: “We have looked into the 49ers’ reporting of the playing status of Christian McCaffrey for the team’s Monday night game against the New York Jets. We have found no evidence of a violation of the league’s Injury Report Policy in this matter.”

this is a BIG red flag

Week 1 Top-7 Highest Average Target Separation for QBs

(and respective completion rate)

look at Danny Dimes

how does a QB have THIS MUCH average separation & complete only 52% of passes

ESPECIALLY considering he averaged just 5.2 air yards, #3 lowest pic.twitter.com/8dus5X4OxC

MISMATCH ️ pic.twitter.com/xlQnBJpP6Z

— PFF Fantasy & Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) September 13, 2024

last week the NYG pass rush recorded pressure at a 40% rate

#6 in NFL

despite blitzing only 20% of the time

#18 in NFL

last week Jayden Daniels faced TB

they were the opposite

#5 highest blitz rate but #7 lowest pressure rate

Echoing this, here’s an example. This play goes against Alontae Taylor even though McKinstry is the one who gives up coverage on Mingo and bails. https://t.co/1qLFyevyEX pic.twitter.com/yVqEqdOFln

Jim Harbaugh said he went to the #Chargers equipment staff earlier this week and asked for a pair of the same sneakers Justin Herbert wears. Harbaugh was wearing them today.

“There’s not a gene in his body I wouldn’t immediately trade for,” Harbaugh said of Herbert.
