Communication is key.
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen told the local media Friday, “I just think safeties today and defensive backs today, you need to be versatile. Offenses look to expose you in certain ways, so you have to be versatile. We like when guys have the versatility.”
Sorensen was referring to 2024 draft picks Renardo Green, Malik Mustapha, and Tatum Bethune. Each player will look to carve out a role for themselves...
Pro Football Focus senior analyst John Kosko recently scrutinized every NFL team, pinpointing which roster possesses the best group at each position. Kosko also singled out the worst position groups in the league, and fortunately for the San Francisco 49ers, they were not represented in any of those categories.
Draft analysts have declared that the San Francisco 49ers reached with their first two selections, adding wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick, a move few saw coming, and then cornerback Renardo Green in the second round.

We think there will be five. Let’s take a guess which teams will play under the lights against the Niners
The NFL announced they’ll release the schedule this coming Wednesday last week. On Monday morning, the league revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens will square off on opening night.
Last year, the Niners appeared in the maximum of five primetime games:
Week 3 vs. New York Giants
Week 5 vs. Dallas...
The San Francisco 49ers will learn their schedule for the 2024 NFL Season on Wednesday. They will hope it gives them something they've not had since the pandemic season of 2020, a Week 1 game at home.
Following free agency, the San Francisco 49ers found themselves ranked third in ESPN's power rankings, trailing only the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions.

Sorensen finally spoke with the media Friday
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen had his first media availability before the weekend, during which he spoke about his adjustment, working with Brandon Staley, and several other topics. As we head into the offseason program, Sorensen won’t need to hire anybody else as the defensive staff is intact:
“Yeah, the staff is great. That’s the one thing that’s been really beneficial to...
Keeping with the trend of announcing the schedule in May, the NFL officially announced that it will release the entire league schedule for the 2024 season on Wednesday, May 15, at 5:00 p.m.
With Dre Greenlaw conceding he does not know when he will return from the Achilles tear he suffered in Super Bowl 58, there is a clear opportunity for one of the lesser known members of the San Francisco 49ers' linebacker group to play significant snaps in 2024.
The San Francisco 49ers have long since maintained that their goal is to sign Brandon Aiyuk to a long-term extension, even as trade speculation has continually swirled around their All-Pro receiver.

How 49ers rookies Pearsall, Puni both are inspired by their mothers
“Pearsall’s mother, Erin, worked three jobs to provide for her four children while earning her real estate license. Puni’s mother Jessica, who also has four children, worked three jobs as a nurse. Incredibly, both mothers still found ways to attend each of their son’s games throughout their college careers.
“That word sacrifice...
Save for the Super Bowl 58 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, there was probably no game from his 2023 season more painful for Brock Purdy than the San Francisco 49ers' Christmas Day defeat to the Baltimore Ravens.
Last month, the San Francisco 49ers bolstered their safety group by drafting Malik Mustapha in the fourth round, providing insurance for a position with many question marks heading into the 2024 season.
The San Francisco 49ers’ pick of Malik Mustapha in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft received widespread praise as one of their best selections. Mustapha received significant plaudits for his play when meeting the ball-carrier, with many labeling the former Wake Forest safety as the best tackling player at the position in the entire draft.
Jeremy Fowler reports multiple teams had interest in acquiring 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk, but they believed San Francisco wanted a first-round pick in exchange for him, which was too much to give up. An anonymous source compared the 49ers’ demands for Aiyuk to when the Titans traded A.J.
Last season was frustrating for anyone covering the San Francisco 49ers, as it meant missing out on family activities due to the team playing games on Thanksgiving night and Christmas night.
Dre Greenlaw believes he is making significant progress on his road to recovery from the torn Achilles he sustained in the second quarter of the Super Bowl.

Resetting that rule from last year that the 49ers probably will get hit with again.
The NFL Schedule is due to drop next week. Which means get your BBQs and schedule release parties ready. If you do that sort of thing.
There are a few thoughts I may make before then, but it’s probably important to bring up the Thursday Night Football rules or how the NFL has basically did away with a lot of them.
Before 2023 it was simple: No team...
The San Francisco 49ers made a draft selection to insulate themselves against potential future free agent departures when they took Renardo Green in the first round.
