If you’re wondering why the 49ers did not announce the coaching moves that took place, I believe that according to the Rooney Rule, San Francisco should conduct an interview with an external candidate. That would be the only explanation I could think of why there were no words from the official team sheet.
Jets hope Robert Saleh will solve the team’s identity crisis
“The biggest influence I have from coach Carroll is from a philosophical point of view,” Saleh told ESPN. “To understand who you are as a person. To understand what is important to you as a person. And how to apply it to the message you want to deliver. The understanding that everyone has a style and that every style is the right style, provided you apply it the right way. So, just from a philosophical point of view, I talk to people and deal with people, this is where I have my biggest growth of coach Carroll. ‘
Deshaun Watson comments on 49ers’ IG Fan Page with QB in Joe Montana Jersey
San Francisco 49ers fans who dream of Deshaun Watson possibly being traded to the team have more fuel to throw on their hypothetical fire.
After a Niners fan page posted a photo on Instagram of Watson wearing a Joe Montana jersey, the Houston Texans star responded with a comment:
There are reports that Watson is currently unhappy with the Texans organization. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the three-time Pro Bowler was “furious” about the team’s decision to appoint Nick Caserio as general manager.
San Francisco has been mentioned as an ideal landing spot for Watson if he wants to move on from the Texans. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the best offensive minds in the NFL, and the 49ers can move on from Jimmy Garoppolo this season with minimal implications for the salary tax.
5 free agencies SF 49ers can be removed from NFC West teams in 2021
It is possible that the SF 49ers this season will have to move on from the EDGE Dee Ford, who is very injured and generates a lot of dead money, but frees up some space to at least get someone on the field who has a full 16- match season can play.
In addition to the lack of passive depth behind fellow EDGE Nick Bosa, the Niners could afford to look at a recycling project, not unlike what they did with EDGE Kerry Hyder in 2020 when he led the team with 8.5 bags.
Hyder can be a difficult sign coming from a career year.
Instead, Cardinals EDGE is a target Markus Golden, who has reached double-digit pockets twice in his career, first with Arizona in 2016 and then again with the NY Giants in 2019.
The Impact of Saleh’s Darnold Decision on 49ers, 2021
“This is what I would expect the New York Jets to do next quarter,” Schefter told SportsCenter on Thursday night. ‘I would think Sam Darnold is going to return as the Jets’ quarterback, and the Jets will be bidding for the No. 2 pick. I think they can take an offensive approach, they can take a wide receiver, they can do whatever they want with the choice. But right now, I think the plan would be to continue with Sam Darnold as the quarterback of the New York Jets in 2021. I think [Jets general manager] Joe Douglas and these staff believe in him, I think Robert Saleh believes in him and I think they would like to give Sam Darnold the opportunity to see a full season, if he is healthy, with new staff he can do. I would be surprised if Sam Darnold was not the starting quarterback for the Jets on the first day. ”
Nine 49ers free agents Robert Saleh, Jets can aim for …
Kyle Juszczyk made the Pro Bowl in each of his four seasons with the 49ers. Because of his versatility and skills, the 49ers used the full-back position more than any other team in the league.
The 49ers are likely to hold on to Mike McDaniel, the brains behind the team’s divergent running attack. However, LaFleur can be expected to commit a similar offense with the Jets. He can use a fullback like Juzczyk.
Juszczyk should be one of the 49ers’ top priorities to sign again, but the Jets can be expected to have a lot of interest as well.
