Getting superstars back up to speed and blocking out emotional distractions are key to the 49ers beating the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers in Monday’s opener.
San Francisco 49ers’ Deebo Samuel poses with teammates following their 34-31 win against the Detroit Lions for the NFC Championship NFL game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024. Seven months since losing Super Bowl LVIII in overtime, the 49ers are done working remotely and ordered back to their Silicon Valley office of Levi’s Stadium. Ding, dong, a numbing offseason is done, from contract disputes to a death-defying shooting to their top draft pick.
Four plays into last season, Rodgers tore his Achilles when sacked by Floyd, who was then with the Bills. While that was Floyd’s 10th career sack of Rodgers, Bosa is no stranger, having sacked Rodgers twice in a January 2023 playoff comeback in Green Bay. Rodgers went 0-4 against the 49ers in playoff games with Green Bay, 6-3 in regular-season action with losses in the 2012 and ’13 openers.
“Saleh is very sound in what he does. He’s not going to overthink it. So I’m not going to overthink it,” Shanahan said. “I just hope our stadium people don’t let him run the stairs , won’t let him get any workout in and hopefully that’ll rattle him a little bit.” If things go askew in Nick Sorensen’s debut as the 49ers defensive coordinator, he might be the one hearing from Shanahan, and same goes for special teams coordinator Brian Schneider if the NFL’s new kickoff rules backfire against the 49ers.Left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk are new here. Well, new this season. Their contract disputes kept them off the practice field until this past week. Meanwhile, running back Christian McCaffrey says his Aug.
Purdy won’t need to worry about a reunion with Haason Reddick, whose sack injured Purdy’s elbow in the January 2022 NFC Championship Game. Reddick remains a contract holdout after his trade from the Eagles, so the Jets’ best pass rusher remains Pro Bowler Jermain Johnson. The 49ers also must watch for cornerback Sauce Gardner, who made All-Pro his first two seasons despite just two total interceptions.
