Upon being replaced by Emmanuel Moseley on defense, Ahkello Witherspoon went up to special teams coord Richard Hightower & asked for all of Moseley's reps on special teams so he would have all of his energy for defensive snaps.
Shanahan said that's the way the
#49ers
are built.
#49ers
George Kittle, the People’s Tight End, was doing good work as usual - cheering up
#49ersFaithful
Amber Ristick who had a less than fortunate visit to Sofi stadium for the NFC championship game.
For those without IG - here’s the video of
@gkittle46
explaining his first down celebration “It's from Pentagon Jr. He's an AEW wrestler now. Cero Miedo, No Fear.”
@AEWrestling
In case you didn’t know the origin of
@gkittle46
first down celebration - he explained it on Friday. “It's from Pentagon Jr. He's an AAW wrestler now. Cero Miedo, No Fear.” That is how the
#49ers
tight end plays.…
"Honestly I’m impressed with his demeanor as a leader. A lot of people give him crap for whatever but he’s as cool and collected as as a quarterback that I’ve ever had and he is the perfect guy to lead us to where we need to go.”
- Nick Bosa on
#49ers
QB Jimmy Garoppolo

#49ers
38-28 win over the
#Cowboys
in the NFCCG.
The win sent the club to their fifth Super Bowl appearance and subsequent win.
George Kittle’s shirt was an homage to Plummer and it’s origin.
NaVorro Bowman told me and
@NBCS49ers
that he could never play for NFC rival Seahawks. In fact he will never even wear blue, lime green and gray together.
He's also picking the
#49ers
to win - of course.
Overheard from
#Saints
media and fans who regularly attend games at the Superdome that the
#49ers
crowd was the loudest from a visiting team that they could remember.
That's saying a lot.
Why is there so much Jimmy Garoppolo hate in
#49ers
land when he has a 2-1 record after Week 3 and bringing the team back from a 17 point deficit?
Asking for a friend.
Seen the
#49ers
locker room:
Frank Gore and Raheem Mostert having a chat
Solomon Thomas going up to EVERY player to shake hands and bro hug.
Some positive talk about the future, but mostly somber especially with the offensive line that really wanted to get one for Joe Staley
Positive news is that Alexander was not wearing a sling and was moving around his locker area like normal.
When I asked him how he was feeling he said: “Legendary“
When asked how Jimmy Garoppolo looked at practice this week George Kittle replied - "Jimmy looks very handsome on the field, still has a rocket arm, and he still throws me the ball."
The entire time
#49ers
Richard Sherman was giving his PSA on what a great leader Jimmy Garoppolo is, the quarterback was standing in the corner within earshot, occasionally chuckling as he listened.
#49ers
new WR Jauan Jennings was receiving calls from his Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt while he was talking to local Bay Area media.
Jennings' joy and excitement in being drafted was so apparent in his ear to ear grin.
Love this part of the draft.
Tashaun Gipson and Talanoa Hufanga in the
#49ers
locker room after the NFCCG.
The 11-year veteran shared with me how their relationship is uniquely close.
Per
@pff
Raheem Mostert
90.7 overall grade
4 TDs
220 yards rushing
158 yards AFTER CONTACT
8 missed tackles forced
7 rushes of 10+ yards
All of those stats are the best of any RB in the 2019 postseason. He also rushed for 10 first downs, most of any 49ers player this season.
The
#49ers
locker room is loud and raucous - you can hear it from outside...in the hallway.
They DO NOT care about picks in the 2019 draft.
They just beat the Seahawks
Trent Williams beat Nick Bosa four times
today in one on ones.
1. Trent Williams hasn’t missed a beat in his comeback
2. Nick Bosa is learning from facing one of the best LT
Fred Warner has been sitting motionless, facing his locker for several minutes.
Under normal circumstances. He’s looking at the game book reading stats, but not now.
Eyes closed hands folded at his waist not talking to anyone.
#49ers
Deebo Samuel became the 1st rookie in franchise history to record 8 catches for 100+ yards in consecutive games AND his 12 missed tackles forced on the season LEADS ALL NFL WRs. He is averaging 7.2 ypp AFTER THE CATCH, which is the most of any WR with 25+ catches (
@PFF
)
Every player is one play away from altering their career forever when playing on turf. I experienced the
bad side of this and it could have been avoided. Help me

Raheem Mostert opened up his media availability with a message of prayers for those who lost their lives, were injured and/or involved in Afghanistan.
#49ers
Brandon Aiyuk revealed that he and Kyle Shanahan "had some words” and that kick started his reboot/restart to the season that influenced his great weeks at practice and hence playing more.
“Faithful - Thank you very much for everything. It’s been crazy, man. All the comebacks at Levi’s, comeback on the road, ups and downs. It’s been a helluva ride guys. I love you guys. See ya.”
- Jimmy Garoppolo’s final message to
#49ersFaithful
Can y'all please wear masks so we can see what
#DROY
Nick Bosa and Javon Kinlaw are capable of doing together on the
#49ers
DL?
Not to mention...Arik Armstead, Dee Ford, Ronald Blair, Solomon Thomas, Kentavius Street, Julian Taylor....
If Garoppolo did in fact suffer a season ending ACL injury, Reuben Foster stated after the game that he has a lot of confidence in C.J. Beathard taking over and described the Iowa QB:
“He’s no Roody-poo.”
(We had to get clarification on that from Foster on the exact meaning)
#49ers
First round pick Javon Kinlaw announced on instagram that he has officially signed his rookie contract.
He can’t wait to tell his mother he’s a millionaire.
The
#49ers
went from the No. 1 seed to the 5th after last night’s game but the season isn’t over yet. There’s plenty of football left to play & this team controls their own narrative.
They’ve been underdogs since the beginning & do not care.
This
@BumpBoxx
will help hype you up
Spoke to Jimmie Ward after the game who said he just rolled his ankle. He is clearly fine seeing as he ran the entire length of the field after the play by Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner to prevent the touchdown.
There were no other
#49ers
injuries reported from the game
#49ers
Deebo Samuel has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week
He is the first 49er to win two Offensive Player of the Week awards in the same season since running back Frank Gore in 2009 (Weeks 2 and 14).
After Nick Bosa’s interception the
#49ers
sidelines were completely hyped.
This locker room is so close and clearly each player is excited for everyone’s success.
“I told myself, if I’m not going to get the ball, I might as well go out here and be a bully. I kind of turned into a bully, I started to enjoy blocking.
#49ers
Emmanuel Sanders is completely comfortable with a heavy run game.
Apparently
#49ers
Nick Bosa was getting under Baker Mayfield’s skin all night.
Bosa, who says he’s not normally a talker, detailed how he verbally and physically took vengeance on the
#Browns
quarterback.
#49ers
Arik Armstead says he’s jut opposed to being tagged - there’s no team he’s rather be a part of, especially being from northern CA - but he says it’s ultimately not his decision.
