San Francisco 49ers News

Bad weather, complacent team, Eagles’ injuries on the offensive line and at middle linebacker could give the 49ers a chance in Philly on Sunday. Or not.

Players from the 49ers and Eagles, along with 49ers CEO Jed York, are attempting to pass legislation and help law enforcement and communities come together.

Reid told the media on Thursday that Shanahan and general manager John Lynch said “no” when Reid asked them if they could ensure he’d be on the team next season. Lynch implied this was a mischaracterization when he joined Murph & Mac on Friday, saying that he hadn’t spoken to Reid until that morning, but also stating that Reid’s future with the team will be predicated on his ability to play the linebacker position for the remainder of the season.

Through the first seven weeks of the season, Carson Wentz has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL by most metrics. The Eagles’ second-year QB is ranked forth in passer rating, third in QBR and fifth in overall effectiveness according to Pro Football Focus. His 17 touchdowns lead the league, and in seven games he’s only thrown four interceptions, after giving away 14 last year.

In order to hand fight with receivers, cornerback Rashard Robinson needs to increase his upper body strength according to defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.

Joe Staley would prefer to hone in on his pass protection technique that about trade rumors than annually swirl about him.

The 49ers said they wouldn’t offer Eric Reid a contract, despite the fact he’s moving to linebacker. That discussion is tabled until the team sees what Reid can do at the position.

The legislation in question would ban mechanisms that can make a semi-automatic weapon an automatic weapon, like the ones used on firearms during the tragic shooting in Las Vegas that left 58 people dead and 546 injured. A portion of the donation will also go to televised public service announcements according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Eric Reid wanted to make sure Colin Kaepernick was part of the next meeting between players and owners on inequality. But now players are waiting for owners to come up with concrete proposals.

The Eagles might be searching for a left tackle by the Oct. 31 deadline. This Sunday, they will get a close look at Joe Staley, but it would take a lot for the 49ers to let him go.
