Elvis Dumervil: 49ers' Rashard Robinson can be best cornerback in NFC West Dumervil, who spent his first 11 seasons in the AFC, was reminded about the players in his new division. After enduring a humiliating opening drive, however, the 2016 fourth-round pick was unfazed: The defensive back known for his trash-talking swagger kept his motor mouth moving. In the first six minutes, Robinson allowed completions of 32 and 29 yards and badly whiffed on a third-down tackle that would have prevented a first down on Kansas City's game-opening touchdown drive. [...] he bounced back on the Chiefs' second drive to tackle running back Spencer Ware for no gain and return an interception 30 yards two plays later. "Every single corner is going to get beat, but not every corner can respond the way he did," defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said.

"According to a team source, the Steelers and 49ers trade talks are real," Strackbein wrote. "While nothing is imminent, they 'would be surprised if it didn't happen.' But it all comes down to compensation, and Pittsburgh isn't willing to budge much on price."
