1 goal remains to get Christian McCaffrey racking up yards on the ground, which he did to the tune of a NFL-best 152 yards in Week 1. While the 49ers are routinely scoring over 30 points with Purdy spreading the ball around, their No. The 49ers have run for a touchdown in 7-of-8 games amid their regular-season win streak against the Rams another exception was the 2021 NFC Championship Game when 20 carries netted 50 yards and no points. San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, right, runs the ball as Los Angeles Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner attempts a tackle during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. Yes, the 49ers’ second-year quarterback has great instincts and elusive ability, but protecting him remains paramount as he and his surgically repaired elbow get going this season. The most harrowing one-on-one to avoid: Donald vs. “So, when we show a certain formation, they may put him somewhere else thinking that’s where the one-on-one’s going to be.” “He’ll favor our right side and based on how we set things up too, because they kind of know what we’re trying to do to them,” said Chris Foerster, the 49ers run-game coordinator and line coach. Right guard Spencer Burford will try to replicate the success his predecessor, Daniel Brunskill, had against Donald. Right tackle Colton McKivitz surrendered three sacks in the opener to T.J. The best bet will be to send the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year through the right side of the 49ers’ line. Shanahan knows that long-time colleague Raheem Morris, the Rams’ defensive coordinator, will try to unleash Donald in a multitude of ways.

Stafford surely will prefer targeting any cornerback other than Charvarius Ward, and particularly enticing could be the 49ers’ unsettled nickel back role, which rotated last week from Deommodore Lenoir to Isaiah Oliver. With Cooper Kupp on injured reserve, the Rams’ revamped receiving corps saw Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell each total 119 receiving yards in the opener Nacua missed Thursday’s practice with an oblique injury. It’s a pretty revamped O-line with new guys, so we’ll have to watch some tape and get a feel.” “We’re going to have to pressure him and make him uncomfortable. “Stafford is one of the best in the league and he showed that last week,” said Bosa, who had none of the 49ers’ five sacks in Pittsburgh. Stafford is 2-7 all-time against the 49ers, including a 1-3 mark in Detroit. Flustering Stafford has worked well in the 49ers’ success against him, as reflected by seven sacks in last year’s first meeting, a 24-9 home win in Week 4. Stafford not only threw for 334 yards last Sunday, but he did not get sacked and was hit just three times.
An obvious caveat to that: Stafford, Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) and Russell Wilson (Denver Broncos) are the only champions left on active NFL rosters. Stafford is the only Super Bowl-winning quarterback on the 49ers’ schedule.
