"Mike Macdonald has ownage on the 49ers and they gotta prove that that's not a real thing because it looks like it is right now."
@grantcohn joined @TheMikeSalk to preview the #Seahawks vs #49ers NFC West showdown in week 5️⃣.
“If we go out there and make plays, you’ll be able to hear a pin drop, so it’s really on us. We live for times like this, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to go down there and compete like we know we can.”
- Trent Williams on playing in an environment like Lumen Field.
He has been doing only farmer walks every session for 8 months and now he has a more powerful, muscular physique. Is farmer walk enough to keep you fit? Do they work every muscle?
"I get the math, 'hey you're two and a half up on Seattle, you're 3-0 in NFC West... I still think it's bigger for the 49ers this week to send a message to Seattle."
- @BontaHill on Sunday being more emotional for San Francisco (via @SteinyGuru957).
If I ever win the lottery, I am buying LinkedIn purely so I can shut it down. No big announcement, no rebrand, no new CEO. I just want to wake up one morning and remove the entire website from existence.
Seahawks Defense has allowed 13 scoring drives this season (7 TD's/6 FG's)
- On the 7 TD drives:
- 2 came off SEA turnovers inside their own 32-yd line
- 4 needed double-digit plays & lasted at least 5:30 minutes
- SEA allowed just 4 20-yd+ plays on TD drives in 2026
That's it. That's all.
Kyle's a genius - cool go prove it
Brock's MVP year- cool go provd it
O line is bettrr- cool go prove it
🗣 prove it or shut up
Go 49ers
@JoshDubowAP@TheJuiceTDGuy No excuses man they beat our ass! That shit is over I don’t know why anyone is still talking about it! It’s over they won the Super Bowl! We play Sunday! Strap up and let’s battle
Who was by far the best player on the field in both 49er losses
Kubiak is gone to. He kept 49er defense on its heels.
Seachickens new OC will try to impress former boss which will hurt them
49ers in a route
"Kudos to the Niners defense. They'll be tested, but again... This time around that defense won't have to try to tackle Kenneth Walker III."

It's absolute chaos at the LOS pre snap with both LBS and the nickel in the box. You don't know who's blitzing or who's in coverage. Definitely in attack mode vs bend don't break vanilla coverages. And when they're are beat its more player execution than the call
Some of the differences in the 49ers' defense under Raheem Morris:
Base personnel has doubled. 35.7% (13th-highest), up from 18.5% last year.
Corners switching sides. Deommodore Lenoir is the boundary CB on 72.8% of the snaps.
They've already used 6+ DBs on more snaps (19) than all of last year (17).
Fred Warner's rushed the passer at the highest rate since '20.
Overall blitz rate is up 8%.
Keion White's usage. Primarily a 9 and a 3-tech in '25. This year, he's the only player in the NFL to log at least 10% of his snaps at 9, 7, 3, and 1-tech.
