49ers

The placement of right tackle Trenton Brown on season-ending injured reserve dominated the injury news. However, the 49ers might also be short at cornerback against the Titans on Sunday.

Trent Brown is usually athletic for his towering frame (6-foot, 8-inches). But he also battles weight and now has a shoulder injury, which make a negotiating a new contract difficult.

The 49ers have been an underdog all season until Sunday’s game at Levi’s. The 49ers lost all three games last year in which they were favored.

Jimmy Garoppolo’s leadership extents to the entire team. He proved that in Houston when the defense listen to him about playing with violence.

Marquise Goodwin not only has a sprinter’s speed, but he also possesses short-area quickness and the toughness and dedication to become a complete receiver.

Jimmy Garoppolo is likely to get quite a fan reaction this Sunday when he makes his first start at Levi’s Stadium against the Titans. He will get a even bigger reaction once he calls the fans by the right name.

No contract will be in the offing for Jimmy Garoppolo before the end of the season, and maybe not then either. However, Garoppolo will eventually sign and likely be the 49ers’ long-term answer at quarterback.

This 49ers team is relishing their wins like no other. The post-game locker room seems to dissolve into delirium after wins and players are getting fired up by blaring hip-hop from a huge boom box, that was started by right tackle Trent Brown against the Giants.

Jimmy Garoppolo steered the 49ers on five straight scoring drives to lead the team to their second straight win since 2014.

Garrett Celek thought he was in the clear on his 61-yard catch and run in the third quarter. But the stadium Jumbotron told him differently.
