Tomsula: ‘We have no right to overlook anyone’

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula spoke to the media today. As far as injuries go,
LG Alex Boone, who was injured on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, is having an MRI today. He confirmed that
RB Kendall Gaskins did indeed suffer a concussion and is going through the concussion protocol this week.
WR Torrey Smith is being treated for the back spasms that kept bringing him out of Sunday's game.
DB Jimmie Ward suffered an elbow contusion and not a break.
Many of the questions focused around player comments following the game. Tomsula disagreed with
LT Joe Staley and his comments that the team may have overlooked the Browns. "Maybe he was speaking from a personal note. I don't know," said Tomsula. "Number one, we have no right to overlook anyone. Number two, in the NFL, I don't care if you are 14-0, you better not overlook anyone."
"We didn't execute. I didn't see an effort problem," said Tomsula regarding the loss on Sunday.
Tomsula confirmed that his coaching staff would not change for the team's final three games.
When asked if there were younger guys that the team would like to take a look at, Tomsula said, "No. I think you've seen us working everybody all year."
The 49ers run defense was atrocious during Sunday's loss. Tomsula feels that the defensive mistakes are correctable.

Did the 49ers make a mistake at right tackle this offseason?

The San Francisco 49ers cruised to an easy 30-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, starting the season with a bang, with the offense and defense both dominating in the comfortable win.
However, there was an area that stood out in the wrong way: offensive line play on the right side, as Spencer Burford and Colton McKivitz both struggled in Week 1, with the latter facing a tough opponent in T.J. Watt, who had three sacks on the day.

49ers' Kyle Shanahan: We have to do better with our RB rotation
Christian McCaffrey played 57 offensive snaps on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The next closest running back was ... no one. No other running back took the field with the offense during the 30-23 win at SoFi Stadium.
That was not the plan going into the Week 2 game.
McCaffrey has now taken 115 snaps through two games this season. The only other running back who has lined up with the offense is Elijah Mitchell, who had 10 snaps in Week 1.
"Yeah, we definitely got to get Elijah in there more and do better with our rotation than we did yesterday," head coach Kyle Shanahan said via a conference call on Monday. "That wasn't the plan going in. It just ended up that way,

The San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-23 win on Sunday, overcoming a tight first half to generate a double-digit lead until the last play of the game, improving to 2-0 on the season.
Now, the 49ers are getting ready to host their season opener, and it comes in primetime, as San Francisco will play the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football at Levi's Stadium this week.
The Giants have started their season with two very different games, losing 40-0 to the Dallas Cowboys in the opener before making a comeback in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals for a 31-28 win.
However, they may be without star running back Saquon Barkley, who suffered an ankle sprain in Week 2, potentially putting an even bigger onus on quarterback Daniel Jones against the
Nick Bosa expects 49ers fan takeover vs. Rams: "We have the best traveling fan base"
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their second consecutive road game to start the 2023 season. A lot of red was in the stands watching the Niners beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-7 at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday. Expect even more this weekend at SoFi Stadium when the Los Angeles Rams host their NFC West rival.
"It's great," an appreciative Nick Bosa said before Wednesday's practice. "I think we have the best traveling fan base overall. Pittsburgh was impressive, and I think we'll take over L.A."
