49ers returning to Mexico City for second international game of 2026 NFL season<\/a>
\u201cThe 49ers are designated the home team for the game in Mexico City, while the Rams are the home team for the game in Melbourne, Australia. San Francisco will play eight games at Levi\u2019s Stadium, seven true road games and two international games to comprise its 17-game regular season schedule.<\/p>\n

The 49ers\u2019 opponent in Mexico City, as well as the date and kickoff time, will be announced when the full schedule is released in the spring, according to the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offseason Mailbag: Will the 49ers actually address O-Line? (Paywall)<\/a>
\u201cKawachipto on YouTtube asks: What is the biggest shift\/change you predict Morris brings to the defensive scheme?\u00a0<\/p>\n

More man coverage and Cover-6, with a heavy lean on Renardo Green. That\u2019s a pure guess because we won\u2019t have a real clue until they add new players. Morris is a polyglot of scheme.<\/p>\n

But Green, I think, is the ideal person to want to coach up, and the 49ers\u2019 frustrations are, in large part, due to Green\u2019s upside. I think he\u2019s a much better corner than Deommodore Lenoir, or at least, can be. I think they\u2019ll want to get the best out of him, specifically.<\/p>\n

Duxstar-Niners on YouTube asks: If the niners realized they needed to actually invest in the Oline this year and take a Tackle is there any worth taking if they fall ? Also do you think the Niners should take a safety in the first round if available?\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Yes. I could see a few scenarios where they have viable options. Buuuut, they\u2019d all have to be tackle\/guard viable. They\u2019re picky. They need to have tackle upside but immediate guard utility. That\u2019s not Monroe Freeling, though he\u2019s typically fit the mold of their tackles. The options are Caleb Lomu and Kadyn Proctor. 2. I would probably lean no in this class. I like Thieneman, but I\u2019m not sure he shifts the paradigm enough. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is sick, but I\u2019m not convinced he\u2019s a true single-high player.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers mailbag: How can they catch Seahawks, Rams? How to help Nick Bosa? (Paywall)<\/a>
\u201cYes, the 49ers have a type\u00a0\u2014 big and brawny\u00a0\u2014 when it comes to their defensive ends. They want them to be sturdy enough as run defenders to \u201cset the edge\u201d\u00a0\u2014 not allowing running backs to get to the sideline by fending off perimeter blocks by tackles and tight ends.<\/p>\n

Bosa is 6-foot-4, 266 pounds. Yetur Gross-Matos: 6-5, 265. Clelin Ferrell: 6-4, 265. Sam Okuayinonu: 6-1, 269. See a pattern?<\/p>\n

That said, Shanahan never sounded more willing to tweak his defensive philosophy last month before replacing coordinator Robert Saleh with Raheem Morris, who doesn\u2019t have a background in the 49ers\u2019 4-3, Seattle-style scheme. Notably, he hired Morris instead of in-house candidate Gus Bradley, who helped popularize the system the 49ers have run since Shanahan was hired.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how this league works now,\u201d Shanahan said of becoming less predictable on defense. \u201cOffensive coaches know how to attack things too much and so you have to (increase) the variables on what they know they\u2019re going to get.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible tweaks to the defensive front could prompt the 49ers to cast a wider net when it comes to edge rushers, allowing them to increase their draft odds on hitting on the right prospect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maxx Crosby to 49ers? Adam Schefter reveals the likely trade cost <\/a>
\u201c\u201cI was told that the Raiders don\u2019t want to trade [Maxx Crosby], and if they even contemplated it, then it would take a Micah Parsons-type package. That\u2019s what I was told,\u201d Schefter said on Philadelphia area radio station 97.5 The Fanatic while discussing a potential Crosby-to-Eagles scenario. \u201cDo I think they are getting two firsts and a player? No. Do I think they want to trade him? No. Do I think he\u2019ll be traded like A.J. Brown [could be]? That\u2019ll change by the week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"49ers returning to Mexico City for second international game of 2026 NFL season\u201cThe 49ers are designated the home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,8694,390,7380,4822,108726,7,219,592,6563,41604,6,1515,242,2663,4820,24660,1161,252,2624,2623,6130],"class_list":{"0":"post-762200","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-a-j-brown","10":"tag-arizona-cardinals","11":"tag-clelin-ferrell","12":"tag-deommodore-lenoir","13":"tag-estadio-azteca","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-francisco","16":"tag-fred-warner","17":"tag-maxx-crosby","18":"tag-mexico-city","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-nick-bosa","21":"tag-philadelphia","22":"tag-raheem-morris","23":"tag-renardo-green","24":"tag-sam-okuayinonu","25":"tag-san-francisco","26":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","27":"tag-sanfrancisco","28":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers","29":"tag-the-49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116096961399300145","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762200","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=762200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
