The 49ers are 2-0 after two road victories. The Arizona Cardinals are 2-0. They beat the 49ers twice last season. There is a good chance the winner of this game will take sole possession of first place in the NFC West with the Los Angeles Rams kicking off earlier in the day at the Philadelphia Eagles.
So, yes, let’s break out the #GPSGame designation for this one.“
It was part of another All-Pro effort from Warner, who had a team-high 11 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Yes, Warner does it all. Consider: On the game’s second snap, Saints right tackle Taliese Fuaga drew an illegal man-down penalty and Warner began pointing at Fuaga, letting the officials know about the infraction, as he dropped in coverage.“

Shanahan would be all for it, too. McDaniel had been his longest-serving lieutenant when he went to Miami, and Shanahan has noted that none of his assistants know his system’s passing game and run game as deeply as McDaniel does.
The question is whether McDaniel would want to come back. You can have the title of offensive coordinator under Shanahan, but not the traditional duties of an offensive coordinator. McDaniel might have more license elsewhere, should he be cast out of Miami.“
Holy **** was I wrong about (A) Connor Colby as a player, and (B) my initial impressions of Alfred Collins’ game on Sunday. I thought Colby was going to be terrible. I mean it. I was very harsh in my pre-draft review. I can blame Iowa, but I saw the athleticism, got excited, and the tape just… looked awful. He didn’t seem confident, was sloppy, unable to conistently anchor, and run game coordinator/O-Line coach Chris Foerster didn’t even deny that. But Colby was genuinely outstanding in his first, mostly full game. I’ll even show you how quick he compensated for a rookie mistake. On the first play below, he’s supposed to pass his man off to Trent Williams, then reset and pick up the looper. He doesn’t, and there’s a free rusher to Mac Jones.“
