Niners weakest unit is offensive line. Particularly the interior. And they struggled Sunday. Mason got his yards in garbage time. Overall, the inside running game was essentially stuffed.
Mitchell hurt, which would be a big loss. Hopefully not out long. CMac also had something going on with a knee. Although he came back in.
JG did not play as well as he had in last couple. But I think you attribute that to NO defense. He got hit a lot. NO got consistent pressure. He missed McCaffrey on the sideline for what should have been a big gain. Also missed that he had a walk in TD when he hit Jennings at the one.(JG was looking right, CMac had swung left). Not really his fault, if as I suspect, Jennings was first option.
This was a trap game. They played in higher altitude than any NFL venue Monday night, got back Tuesday morning, had no on field practice till Friday. Gut check game and they passed. All NFL teams have games like this. That they won is a great sign.
As for CMac, he does not look as explosive to me as in the past. Keep an eye on injured list this week. JG also was limping after a nasty hit on his knee.
