Last week, the 49ers' offensive players received a packet that included the game plan for their season opener Monday night against the Rams. The scathing messages come on the heels of a preseason in which the supersized Brown — 6-foot-8 ½, 355 pounds — received outsized praise. Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Staley, 32, one of the 49ers' best players, said Brown could become one of the best players … in NFL history. Offensive line coach Pat Flaherty, 60, who owns two Super Bowl rings, said Brown has the size and athleticism that "would probably be in line with most guys that have ever played the position." [...] Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller, the Super Bowl MVP who is among the league's premier pass-rushers, termed Brown one of the NFL's "better tackles" based on their recent meetings in two joint practices and a preseason game.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.

"With Trent Williams entering the twilight of his career, the 49ers have to find an eventual replacement on the edge," Brooks noted. "Morgan is a sound blocker at the point of attack with diverse skills
