richer man today<\/a>, and his play on Sunday warranted it. McKivitz led the team with an 80.0 pass blocking grade, while allowing only one pressure and a hurry. Ben Bartch was the overall leader with a 73.7 offensive grade and led the team with a 74.7 run blocking grade. The 49ers\u2019 offensive line didn\u2019t allow a sack, but that doesn\u2019t mean the line was rolling on Sunday.<\/p>\nSeeing Trent Williams with the most hurries and pressures is something. Week 1 is the weirdest week of the NFL season, but allowing five hurries, six pressures, and the lone QB hit is out of character for the future Hall of Famer. Puni left for a snap, but allowed two hurries and two pressures.<\/p>\n
Running Backs:
Christian McCaffrey 58 (59.9)
Kyle Juszczyk 37 (57.9)
Brian Robinson, Jr 18 (55.1)<\/p>\n
So much for the calf injury, Christian McCaffrey returned to the lineup and touched the ball 31 times. Some of that was due to the absence of George Kittle and Jauan Jennings, but if McCaffrey is active, he will touch the ball more than anyone.<\/p>\n
Juszczyk caught a deep pass from Purdy, which was masterfully crafted by Kyle Shanahan and should be employed a bit more when the 49ers need a play. Robinson got it going with more work during the game; the 49ers would be wise to use him more as a runner.<\/p>\n
Wide Receivers:
Ricky Pearsall 64 (77.2)
Jauan Jennings 50 (56.7)
Russell Gage 28 (51.2)
Marquez Valdez-Scantling 27 (53.3)
Skyy Moore 3 (58.6)<\/p>\n
As we wait for word on Jennings and his injury, Ricky Pearsall looked every bit the part on Sunday with four catches for over 100 yards. Kendrick Bourne\u2019s signing could indicate Jennings will miss time or be valuable depth, given that only five receivers ran routes and two caught passes.<\/p>\n
For now, Pearsall\u2019s play is inspiring, and hopefully, the return of Demarcus Robinson, Brandon Aiyuk, and Bourne will solidify the room during the season.<\/p>\n
Tight Ends:
Luke Farrell 44 (54.8)
Jake Tonges 30 (84.5)
George Kittle 21 (86.2)<\/p>\n
TWO touchdowns for the 49ers\u2019 tight ends. Only one was to Kittle, who exited with a hamstring injury. Tonges made his first NFL catches count, including what some are calling \u201cThe Catch 4.\u201d To be fair, \u201csome\u201d is just me at this point, but it\u2019ll catch on.<\/p>\n
Farrell did bring down a pass, but his contributions will be primarily as a run blocker.<\/p>\n
Quarterback:
Brock Purdy 76 (69.4)<\/p>\n
Overall, some good, some bad for Purdy, but when it mattered, he delivered. Three BTT (big time throws) for Purdy, which turned into a 7.9%. On the flip side, Purdy had two TWP for a 4.8% TWP%. Two of Purdy\u2019s nine incompletions were thrown away, with two others ending up in the hands of Seahawks defenders.<\/p>\n
Defensive Line:
Nick Bosa 46 (82.5)
Bryce Huff 26 (58.6)
Jordan Elliott 25 (62.1)
Kalia Davis 24 (65.5)
Yetur Gross-Matos 17 (60.9)
Sam Okuayinonu 15 (91.0)
Alfred Collins 9 (27.9)
C.J. West 7 (58.1)<\/p>\n
Nick Bosa closed the show on Sunday. Yetur Gross-Matos boasted a 30.8% win rate with Bryce Huff pitching in with a 21.1%. The pass rush totaled ten pressures, but the optimism will come from Robert Saleh and how he dialed up pressure from different areas.<\/p>\n
Sammy O led the defense with a 91.0 defensive grade and made a huge play, knocking the ball loose for a turnover the defense desperately needed. The two rookies will get into the swing of things, but given how this defense looked, the arrow is pointing up for this defensive line.<\/p>\n
Linebackers:
Dee Winters 52 (76.7)
Fred Warner 49 (71.7)
Luke Gifford 23 (72.1)
Tatum Bethune 3 (46.2)<\/p>\n
This was Dee Winters\u2019 breakout game. After an offseason of hype, Winters delivered on Sunday. Playing with controlled aggression, Winters looked every bit the part and a worthy replacement for Dre Greenlaw. Fred Warner is a warrior. No matter what is thrown at him, he prevails. Returning from an injury that he was very descriptive about post-game (you can look it up, it\u2019s not pretty), Warner finished the game with six tackles, right behind Winters with seven.<\/p>\n
Secondary:
Marques Sigle 52 (59.8)
Jason Pinnock 52 (53.1)
Renardo Green 51 (68.1)
Deommodore Lenoir 51 (61.7)
Upton Stout 29 (32.5)
Ji\u2019Ayir Brown 2 (60.0)<\/p>\n
Marques Sigle made his NFL debut and finished with five tackles, which was good for third-best on the team. A very encouraging performance from the rookie. Upton Stout was picked on a bit on Sunday, but finished up his day well. The young man will need to build off his reps and this initial outing.<\/p>\n
Renardo Green allowed a deep pass to JSN late in the game and committed a penalty, but had an incredible PBU. Oh, Deommodore Lenoir didn\u2019t allow a single catch on Sunday. He\u2019s pretty good, I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n
