49ers Insider Drops Strong Message on Browns DC Jim Schwartz <\/a>
\u201c[Schwartz] is a guy who obviously Kyle Shanahan respects a lot,\u201d Lee Chan said in her YouTube video published on Jan. 30. \u201cI don\u2019t know that he\u2019s the best fit for the 49ers and how they\u2019re built defensively. 49ers are built to rush from the line. They aren\u2019t meant to be huge blitzers. They have the safeties be the erasers. You\u2019ve got two linebackers. Fred Warner is your coverage and run stopper. So your defensive line doesn\u2019t have to assess the situation. They don\u2019t have to say, \u2018Okay, this is a run play. This is a pass play.\u2019 You know, they don\u2019t have to look at how things are set up. They don\u2019t have to look at the motions. They are just there to go get the quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, former 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman believes Schwartz would benefit from being the Niners\u2019 defensive coordinator if he has hopes of being an NFL head coach again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if Schwartz goes to another team, a contender who\u2019s out of a defensive coordinator right now, I think he has a head coach job within the next two years,\u201d Sherman said in a Jan. 30 video from \u201cThe Richard Sherman Podcast.\u201d \u201cAnd by contender, I\u2019m thinking of the San Francisco 49ers, and I would imagine Kyle Shanahan is on the phone right now, whatever you need.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter losing Robert Saleh to a head coaching job and showing a pipeline for his defensive coordinators to be elevated to head coaching jobs, you talk about DeMeco Ryans, you talk about Robert Saleh twice. Even my guy Jeff Hafley, who was on the staff in \u201918, is now a head coach right now for the Miami Dolphins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 49ers reporter Grant Cohn for On SI shared his thoughts on the three candidates and sees Morris as the guy San Francisco should hire among the three candidates they have interviewed, given his head-coaching experience and his role as the Los Angeles Rams\u2019 defensive coordinator when they won the Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers address several needs in new 3-round NFL mock draft<\/a>
\u201cK.C. Concepcion is a dynamic receiver with tremendous YAC ability and impressive quickness, excelling as a route runner who shoots out of his breaks. Throughout his stints at Texas A&M and NC State, he\u2019s been a reliable underneath weapon with inside-outside versatility. His twitchiness underneath and speed-oriented game would be a near-perfect addition to San Francisco\u2019s offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaleb Tiernan is a massive blocker, standing at 6\u20197\u2033 and weighing 329 pounds, with gap-zone run-blocking versatility,\u201d Infante said. \u201cHe has the size, strength, hand usage, and spatial awareness to become a good starter in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 49ers saw firsthand that their edge-rusher depth wasn\u2019t up to par as their defense declined in the second half of 2025,\u201d Infante added. \u201cThe 6\u20195\u2033, 275-pound Anthony Lucas is a lengthy, powerful defender with accurate hand placement and good speed-to-power rushing the passer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"49ers Insider Drops Strong Message on Browns DC Jim Schwartz \u201c[Schwartz] is a guy who obviously Kyle Shanahan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,52307,7,6,1161,252,1137,2624,2623],"class_list":{"0":"post-721252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-49ers-links","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-san-francisco","13":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","14":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-news","15":"tag-sanfrancisco","16":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115995039898693169","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
