Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores was asked this week about San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. The Dolphins defense is tasked with trying to stop the Niners All-Pro, who is widely considered the best tight end in the game.

Flores acknowledged that stopping Kittle, who exploded on Sunday night for 183 receiving yards and a score, is nearly impossible.

"I don't think you stop him," Flores told 49ers reporters. "I think you just try to limit him. You try to give him different looks. ... When you've got a player like this, you've got to think about doubling a guy like this."

The Dolphins coach also noted that focusing on stopping or even limiting Kittle potentially opens things up for the other offensive weapons at the 49ers' disposal.

Kittle agrees.

On Thursday, the tight end was asked about Flores' comments and immediately discussed the 49ers' weapons and how much he enjoys being part of such a talented offense.

"We have a lot of weapons from our backfield to our wide receivers, tight ends," Kittle said. "I mean, even our run game; we've got weapons all over the field. It's fun to be a part of that offense. You can double me, you can hold me to a couple of catches and some yards; that is what it is. I'm still going to impact the game in the run game.

"We've still got wide receivers like Deebo (Samuel), [Kendrick Bourne], (Brandon) Aiyuk, Trent Taylor. We've got guys out there that can ball and make plays. And our backfield is pretty scary when everyone's healthy.

"We have a lot of weapons, and I'm excited to see each week how defenses game plan for us, and how we game plan for them. I'm looking forward to this weekend too because I really like the game plan, and I'm excited to run the ball (as an offense) a little bit."

49ers announce team has re-signed Chris Conley

The San Francisco 49ers announced today that the team has re-signed WR Chris Conley to a one-year deal. Conley spent 2023 with the 49ers but only appeared in eight games. He finished the regular season with three receptions for 69 yards. But Conley saved his best for the postseason. Although he only had two receptions for 35 yards, his catches came in big moments. In the Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, with the 49ers trailing 21-17, Conley brought in a 17-yard catch that moved the ball to Green Bay's 26-yard line. The 49ers scored the winning touchdown on the drive. Then in Super Bowl LVIII, Conley hauled in an 18-yard reception in the first quarter to help set up a Jake Moody field goal. But perhaps Conely's biggest plays in the Super Bowl

The San Francisco 49ers likely aren't finished fortifying their defense and have reportedly expressed interest in bolstering their defensive backfield. If they require assistance making a significant move, one 49ers player is prepared to lend a helping hand. Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction. Ward described White as a "hand in glove
