Kawakami: The no-title serenity of Shanahan and Lynch, and more 49ers thoughts <\/a>(paywall)
\u201cThere\u2019s a practical part of this \u2014 as York noted, they\u2019ve paid Aiyuk a lot of money for almost zero return in 2024 and 2025. If they can get a seventh-round pick for him, instead of just releasing him, that\u2019s at least something.<\/p>\n

I also believe there\u2019s some suspicion from the 49ers side that other teams or players influenced Aiyuk\u2019s thinking during and after the 2024 negotiations. I don\u2019t know if the suspicion is correct, but I\u2019ve heard enough grumbling about it that I don\u2019t doubt the 49ers have an attitude about this.<\/p>\n

And if the 49ers believe that Aiyuk has had his eye on another team from all the way back then \u2014 everybody thinks it\u2019s the Washington Commanders with his pal Jayden Daniels \u2014 then the 49ers don\u2019t mind making Washington and Aiyuk wait. If Washington can\u2019t wait, well, a draft pick might quicken up the 49ers\u2019 decision-making process a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The War Room: Have you guys heard about the substation? (Paywall)
<\/a>\u201cTravis Burke, OT, Memphis: I\u2019m typically wary of massive tackle prospects, and at nearly 6\u20199\u201d and 325 pounds, Burke is enormous. But he moves quite a bit quicker than his size would have you expect. He\u2019s not light-footed, but he moves well enough. And my god, is he MEAN. There are not nearly enough offensive line prospects who play with the desire to pummel people, and Burke wants to dirt you. He will get his hands on you consistently and drive. His length and size help compensate for some of his stiffness, and his power and anchor are rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why was 49ers owner Jed York among the last to learn of Christian Kirk signing? (Paywall)<\/a>
\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Why the hell is (Shanahan) talking about Christian Kirk?\u2019\u201d York said. \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Is this tampering?\u2019 I had no idea that we signed Christian Kirk.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers assistant coach K.J. Wright promoted, continuing his parallels to DeMeco Ryans (paywall)<\/a>
\u201cAs an offensive play caller, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has gained respect for an elite group of instinctive ex-NFL linebackers who have seemingly known plays he was going to call over the years.<\/p>\n

In January, Shanahan said that group included Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee, the Panthers\u2019 Luke Kuechly and two players Shanahan hired because he thought their football IQ would translate to coaching: Pro Bowl linebackers K.J. Wright and DeMeco Ryans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to hire someone like K.J. Wright, who I didn\u2019t know (personally), because I felt that way about him,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201c\u2026 I felt that way going against DeMeco.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers pledge to rest Christian McCaffrey more. Do they actually mean it this time? (Paywall)<\/a>
\u201cShanahan said Morris won\u2019t settle on a specific scheme until he sees his team in person during OTA practices. He noted that Morris has used a lot of five-man fronts in the past, but that the 49ers don\u2019t currently have the quick, edge-rusher type who would make a five-man front work best.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cool thing about Raheem is he\u2019s done a number of different schemes,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cHe\u2019ll see our personnel, we\u2019ll get into OTAs, we\u2019ll see what we have after the draft. And then we\u2019ll put our players in the best spots.\u201d<\/p>\n

49ers\u2019 Kyle Shanahan explains tough Renardo Green coaching moment vs. Seahawks<\/a>
\u201cWhere you are in trouble is if I\u2019m never challenging you and I\u2019m never getting on you, because it really shows I don\u2019t believe you can do any better,\u201d Shanahan said Monday at the NFL Annual League Meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think Renardo has done some really good things. He\u2019s played at a starter level, and I have much higher expectations for him than that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kawakami: The no-title serenity of Shanahan and Lynch, and more 49ers thoughts (paywall)\u201cThere\u2019s a practical part of this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":844569,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,304,4124,3607,7,734,13365,21764,2812,6942,6,4820,1161,252,2624,2623,13449,261,1369,107702,855,111],"class_list":["post-844568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco-49ers","tag-49ers","tag-christian-kirk","tag-christian-mccaffrey","tag-demeco-ryans","tag-football","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-jed-york","tag-k-j-wright","tag-kyle-shanahan","tag-luke-kuechly","tag-nfl","tag-renardo-green","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers","tag-sanfrancisco","tag-sanfrancisco49ers","tag-sean-lee","tag-seattle-seahawks","tag-tom-brady","tag-travis-burke","tag-washington","tag-washington-commanders"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116323033099933123","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844568","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=844568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/844569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=844568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=844568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=844568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
