Where we can expect the 49ers defense to be different under Raheem Morris
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense sat at the bottom of the league in pressure rate and sack totals in 2025. Losing Nick Bosa and others throughout the season didn’t help.

Kyle Shanahan shares why the 49ers’ defense was lucky they weren’t ‘exposed’ even more than they were in 2025
Injuries to Nick Bosa and Fred Warner gutted a star-driven San Francisco 49ers defense in 2025.

After the Collins pick, there isn’t a clear-cut “The 49ers should’ve […]

Few things remain in memory when you have years upon years of San Francisco 49ers seasons chiseled into your brain.

Former 49ers safety Donte Whitner turns his attention to Deommodore Lenoir
It seems like we’re talking about former San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner more than a few of the current San Francisco 49ers players. Whitner once again called out another 49ers defensive back, this time cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, and issued a challenge: cover Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings. “Deommodore Lenoir talked a lot of […]
The cost of watching the 49ers in 2026
If there’s anything we’ve learned about being a fan of NFL teams, it’s that watching all the games is expensive. And it gets worse every year with subscription fees increasing. The 49ers have a new schedule, and it’s all over the place with prime-time. Free trials are definitely not as prominent as they once were, either. We […]

NFL Insider hints at the 49ers needing to make a decision about Nick Bosa after this year

Which 49ers draft pick will start the most games in 2026?
It wouldn’t be surprising if we get to the middle of the season and multiple members from the San Francisco 49ers’ rookie class have carved out a role in their first year.
