He already has.
Having your starting LT or a WR who can actually separate is a key part of that.
Also helps when you don't let a ball hit your hands and go into a linebackers hands when you're in 2nd and goal situations.
No, he hasn't.
in what world do you think that?
he didn't two years ago. He didn't last year. He didn't this year. Wake up.
49ers with Kittle getting hurt early, Jennings coming off no training camp and getting hurt late put up the 3rd most yards on that defense week 1. That's with Purdy getting injured before halftime. 2 missed FGs but we were moving the ball on them all game long.
Who was in that game who wasn't in this one? Ricky Pearsall - a guy who can actually separate.
Last year?
They put up 34 points on them in Seattle. Brock threw for 3 TDs and we ran for 228 yards on them.
Who was in that game? Aiyuk a guy who can actually separate, along with Kittle and other guys. No CMC btw.
The 2nd game - no Kittle, no Aiyuk and Pearsall before they got on the same page. 17 points.
Sometimes the other team is just better and the other team doesn't have guys who can help attack their few weak points.
