Sunday was the worst game Ive seen from a Kyle Shanahan-coached team. Both sides of the ball didnt look ready. I understand there were injuries, but the San Francisco 49ers didnt look competitive. That was unpleasant. Lets take an appearance at the best and worst-graded players from PFF.
Top-5 offensive graded players
Williams was a monster in the running video game and paved numerous holes. There were still interaction concerns in pass security, and even on the ground, which caused complimentary runners. PFF charged Williams with one sack, where he was the only lineman that didnt move in a specific instructions.
Mostert had 11 carries for 90 lawns with three very first downs and 2 gains over 10 backyards. Every time he touches the ball, it feels like Mostert has an opportunity to score. Mostert was probably the best player on the field on both sides of the ball for San Francisco.
Laken Tomlinson 70.0
I wonder who might be to blame if all of the top-graded players are the lineman. Hmm.
Daniel Brunskill 67.5
Trent Williams – 86.3
PFF charged McGlinchey with a qb and a sack hit but provided him an 87.5 run-blocking grade. Brunskill quit one QB hit, while Tomlinson didnt enable either, but his run-blocking grade was 63.7. There are two plays that come to mind where Tomlinson is obstructing a defensive deal with, but Ben Garland is anticipating him to obstruct another defender, and, yet once again, a complimentary runner. The problems appear endless.
Mike McGlinchey – 78.0
Raheem Mostert – 90.2
Five-worst graded gamers
Jimmy Garoppolo 31.3
Kyle Shanahan said they couldnt do much on offense after the game since their guys were out of breath. Samuel just caught 2 of his 8 targets and likewise had a drop.
George Kittle 56.4
When your quarterbacks are the worst-graded players, its not likely that you won the game. The Dolphins just blitzed six times on Sunday, but you d have no concept with how often the quarterbacks were under pressure. That led to holding the ball, dropping of the eyes, and not looking comfortable for both quarterbacks.
C.J. Beathard 40.3
Deebo Samuel 56.2
Kittle appeared annoyed after the video game and said, “our veterans need to play better, including myself.” He captured 4 of his seven targets for 44 backyards but did have a drop. PFF provided Kittle a 50.4 run-blocking grade, and hes silently had a hard time because location this season. Further evidence that whatever has been off for the offense this year.
McKinnons pass-blocking grade for this game was a 13.7. There was one play where I believed he had a great blitz pickup, but this grade is an indication of McKinnon either whiffing or not understanding where to go throughout his other pass professional opportunities.
Jimmys ankle has absolutely nothing to do with double-clutching, waiting for a receiver to be open before you throw it, or throwing the ball into double protection, pressing the ball down the field? Having additional zip on your throws? Those are fair points to bring up with an ankle injury, however the decision-making continues to be a concern.
Jerick McKinnon 48.2
Top-five graded protectors
Fred Warner 80.0
Givens played 35 snaps, which is fantastic to see. He continues to impress. PFF credited Givens with 2 stops, though he did not have a great pass rush grade. Ill be curious to see how numerous “wins” he had.
Kerry Hyder 74.0
Kevin Givens 76.7
Warner had 10 takes on– six of them were stops– a QB hit, and only permitted 25 yards on five targets, including one where he remained in perfect position in the end zone. Warner did have a penalty, however hes the finest gamer on this defense.
Hyder had a hustle sack, however his best play was where he kept contain and forced Miami into a giant loss on a reverse. Hyder is everything and more than what the 49ers expected. He had 2 QB hits and added another stop. Hyder is making a strong case for a raise this next offseason.
Jones was poked in the eye however did return. If youre looking for triumphes, that was the only injury the 49ers suffered on Sunday. Jones had a stop and continued his excellent run defense.
Kwon is beginning to get his groove back. First of all, he didnt miss out on a deal with on Sunday, and thats usually where individuals are the hardest on him. Alexander had a sack and was in the backfield on a few other pass rushes. He ended up with 3 drop in the run video game as well.
D.J. Jones 87.6
Kwon Alexander 73.0
Five-worst graded protectors
Dion Jordan 58.4
The very same case can not be produced Kinlaw, who remains an operate in development. Kinlaw finished the game with two stops, one missed take on, and PFF credited him for a rush, but no sacks or QB hits. Its not fair to Kinlaw, however he needs to play like a first-rounder for this 49ers defense. The learning curve for a defensive lineman is constantly steep, as theyre now dealing with the best of the finest. We were spoiled by Nick Bosa last year. Get that out of your head. Thats now how most novices perform. Well need to see Kinlaw start to turn the corner quicker than later.
Kentavius Street 54.3
That was the only injury the 49ers suffered on Sunday if youre looking for triumphes.
Brian Allen 27.6
Jamar Taylor 32.0
The same can be said for Taylor and Allen, as we simply made with Jordan or Street. Not in a million years would anybody have guessed Allen would start a game at cornerback this early in the season for San Francisco. Taylor looked totally lost on his downfield target. The two integrated to offer up eight catches on 9 targets for 217 backyards. We do not have to kick them while theyre down. All of us understand those two had a hard time, but all of us acknowledge neither should have been on the field. I refuse to believe that Tarvarius Moore, who practiced at nickel during training camp, cant provide the team more than Allen or Taylor.
That led to holding the ball, dropping of the eyes, and not looking comfy for both quarterbacks.
Both sides of the ball didnt look ready. I know there were injuries, but the San Francisco 49ers didnt look competitive. Lets take a look at the finest and worst-graded players from PFF.
Javon Kinlaw 41.6
Its difficult to be too down on these guys as the 49ers didnt get in the season imagining either Jordan or Street would play much. Thanks to injuries, theres no option to toss both gamers on the field. Neither registered a pass-rushing stat, while both did have a drop in the running video game.
