49ers mailbag: Can injury-laden defense still put spy on Chiefs’ Mahomes?

ATLANTA – A 3-3 file isn't what the 49ers banked on nevertheless it’s higher than final yr’s 2-4 begin, simply to set a sky-is-not-falling tone for this Week 7 mailbag:

Is anybody wanting on the coaching workers and asking why are there so many accidents? (@jaybabs607)

That scrutiny comes yearly, and never simply because accidents stack up however how. In coaching camp, Kyle Shanahan didn't like how soft-tissue accidents have been occurring in practices after off days. The 49ers revamped their well being and efficiency workers in 2019, hiring Ben Peterson from the NFL’s Philadelphia Flyers to supervise all elements of well being, energy, coaching and diet. The 49ers’ previous searches for well being salvation noticed them construct an enormous coaching ramp and a log-laden impediment course.

Can the protection get well from our accidents? (@renragd)

Widespread attrition left the 49ers’ protection with out 8-of-11 would-be starters by the tip of Sunday’s 28-14 loss to the Falcons. Not all will get well in time this season (see: Emmanuel Moseley) and most others are in rehab limbo (see: Arik Armstead, Javon Kinlaw, Azeez Al-Shaair). If Nick Bosa and Charvarius Ward can’t play Sunday againt the Chiefs due to groin accidents, that would find yourself feeling like one other kick to the …

They in all probability would have gained if Charlie Woerner and Ray-Ray McCloud didn’t drop these passes. (@mi_vikings_rover11)

These second-half blunders actually exasperated the 49ers’ offensive gallows. For the primary time since final December’s loss in Seattle, the 49ers didn't rating after halftime.

How do you suppose Kyle (Shanahan) goes to enter this week making ready for the Chiefs? (@wyatt85)

Kansas Metropolis is scoring 29.8 factors per sport. The 49ers are averaging 20.3, and that features a pair of interception returns for touchdowns. Taking part in ball hog could be superb. As Jimmy Garoppolo stated: “We now have to get again to our type: keep forward of the chains, keep away from third downs, convert third downs. That’s our type.”

Do you suppose DeMeco shall be utilizing a spy towards (Patrick) Mahomes? (@cuzimfat)

That will be a sensible concept, when you had sufficient absolutely wholesome starters to assign one to shadow Mahomes. Security Talanoa Hufanga is likely to be superb for that function, however he entered the NFL’s concussion protocol on Monday, after reporting signs; he was cleared to return after inspections throughout and after the sport. Possibly Dre Greenlaw might be the spy. Dropping a defensive lineman into that function appears futile when that unit is already skinny.

That listing of accidents is lengthy. What number of gamers are imagined to be again for Kansas Metropolis? (@karlgabriel)

To be decided. Left sort out Trent Williams and defensive finish Nick Bosa have “an opportunity,” Shanahan stated, confirming the suspicion they’ve been held out in anticipation of this coming rematch of Tremendous Bowl LIV. Ex-Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward is day-to-day, as is correct sort out Mike McGlinchey.

What’s one factor you suppose must be labored on this week? (@_m.a.c.__)

The cross protection, regardless that the Falcons gouged the 49ers with 40 runs for 168 yards. Not solely should the 49ers’ cross rush brace for Patrick Mahomes’ nimble methods and inventive arm slot, the inexperienced cornerbacks should plaster receivers and prey for security assist. Mahomes’ 17 landing throws are tied for the NFL lead with Buffalo’s Josh Allen.

Do you suppose we’ll see extra TDP this week? Run sport wants life. (@luketyson91)

There was loads of life in that run sport the earlier sport at Carolina, however when Jeff Wilson Jr. adopted that 120-yard effort with a fumble and simply 25 yards in his encore, it did forged a darkish cloud. Ty Davis-Worth made a one-snap cameo (at fullback) in Atlanta after lacking a stretch with a excessive ankle sprain, so not dashing him into the dashing combine is comprehensible. Ty’s time will come.

F*** turf. (andrea_zepeda10)

Atlanta’s, ahem, FieldTurf didn't draw the 49ers’ injury-blaming wrath like Carolina’s did per week earlier. The 49ers have two video games left on artificial grass: Oct. 30 on the Los Angeles Rams and Dec. 15 at Seattle. Except for the 49ers’ historical past of knee accidents on artificial surfaces, George Kittle stated our bodies are “twice as sore in your joints” from the less-forgiving pretend turf. Ice up, males.

What are our possibilities for a win? (@blondbaddass)

The 49ers opened as 2 ½-point house underdogs to the Chiefs, in accordance with BetOnline.ag. It’s the primary time this season the 49ers haven't been favored. They’re 3-3 towards the unfold.

Bear in mind when the Giants barely made it within the playoffs after which gained the Tremendous Bowl? #Hope. (@i.am_joseph.m)

With 11 video games to go, you’re proper, loads of hope remakns. PS: @Are.You.Joseph Montana?
