www.49ersfanshop.com - panxing18 - 05-06-2019 CARSON Joe Montana Color Rush Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Although C.J. Beathard knew he should slide, the San Francisco 49ers desperately needed a first down in the fourth quarter of a two-point game.So Beathard kept running toward Casey Hayward, and the Los Angeles Chargers’ Pro Bowl cornerback knocked the wind clean out of the quarterback with a devastating shoulder hit.“Especially in a situation like that, on third down when you’re inches away from converting, it could change the game if we get that first,” Beathard said. “If I could do it again, I’d do the same thing.”Beathard didn’t get that first down. After he caught his breath, the Niners still dropped to 1-3 with a 29-27 loss Sunday.But after the first game of Beathard’s second stint as San Francisco’s accidental starting quarterback, his teammates and coaches were enthusiastically confident in his ability to fill in splendidly for Jimmy Garoppolo this season.“He gave us a chance to win today,” Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said. “He played very tough and made some big plays, especially in situations with guys going in and out. He handled adversity well https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Deion-Sanders-Jersey , and a little chaos with some of the injuries.”Beathard went 23 of 37 for 298 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions against the Chargers, capably connecting on a series of big throws — none bigger than an 82-yard touchdown pass to tight end George Kittle late in the third quarter.He also showcased the resilience and toughness of a third-round draft pick trying to seize the chance he’s been given by Garoppolo’s season-ending knee injury .“C.J. has got more grit than anybody that I know,” said Kittle, Beathard’s college teammate at Iowa. “He’s got a severe dad bod. He can run longer than anybody I’ve ever known, which is kind of crazy, and he can take any hit. So it’s pretty cool. Don’t know how he does it.”The 49ers lost both of Beathard’s starting offensive tackles to injuries at StubHub Center. Joe Staley didn’t return, while Mike McGlinchey came back in less-than-ideal shape. The Chargers were credited with eight quarterback hits and one sack of Beathard, along with plenty of regular pressure, particularly in the second half.Beathard took it all and came back for more.“Ain’t no room for being sweet, (and) there ain’t nothing sweet about C.J.,” 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster said. “So that’s why we have faith and we believe in C.J. It was really not surprising Roger Craig Jersey , but it was surprising because I could see it in his eyes every time he came on the sideline, like, ‘Defense, let’s go. We’ve got your back. We ride with y’all.’ Just him saying that means a lot to me and the defense, because you know where his head is at.”Beathard dropped to 1-5 as an NFL starter with this loss, but his teammates loved his moxie. Hayward’s big hit sent Beathard to the sideline — once he could stand up again — but he returned for the 49ers’ final two offensive series.“I knew I was OK,” Beathard said dismissively. “I just couldn’t breathe. I got my air knocked out pretty bad, and I was able to come back eventually. I felt fine.”If Beathard had actually got that first down, the 49ers would have had to give the next snap to Nick Mullens, who was promoted last week from the practice squad. Shanahan said the Niners will look at signing another backup quarterback this week.Los Angeles essentially ended the game by forcing Beathard’s second interception with 2:31 to play.Derwin James’ blitz sent the ball out of Beathard’s hands, and it hit center Weston Richburg before the Bolts’ Isaac Rochell grabbed it for an interception.Shanahan said he wished Beathard “would have saw that and got rid of it Ronnie Lott Color Rush Jersey ,” but Beathard said he was trying to get the ball away before the Chargers’ disruptive rookie safety got to him. It was another failed gamble, but the 49ers will accept it if Beathard continues to grow from these painful experiences.“He is going to be a great quarterback in this league,” Niners running back Matt Breida said. “He is a tough competitor, as you can see. He’ll take the ball and run with it, take big hits, and get up and get back in the game. It’s going to be hard to get C.J. out of the game.” We’re past the midseason mark and still have some football left. It’s time to look at all the 49ers units and discuss what we like and don’t like out of them for 2018. Two things are very clear: Going into Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders, the 49ers were in the back half of quarterback pressures and after the Raiders game, their seven sacks skyrocketed them up in the rankings. At least for a week.But make no mistake, the defensive line has been unable to generate consistent pressure to offensive lines. It’s not exactly a second too soon either; DeForest Buckner has been the best player on the line, but the times he’s hit the quarterback just moments after the ball leaves their hands has decreased in 2018. And Solomon Thomas? He’s been great at stuffing the run, but his pass-rushing https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Jerry-Rice-Jersey , especially at the edge (what is the thinking process here rather than putting him inside) has been quiet. Arik Armstead has been absolutely silent, but then again, his position on the defense is one of those where if you’re not talking about him, he’s doing his job (similar to Eli Harold last year). Cassius Marsh has been the team’s resident pass-rusher, but his 3.5 sacks aren’t exactly speaking elite level quality for pass rushing. Ronald Blair has the exact amount of sacks as Marsh, yet he’s a bit more under the radar. 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has come under fire for the defense giving up leads and leaving themselves unable to finish a game. Looking at the defensive line for all of this wouldn’t be a bad direction to point the finger. The 49ers simply cannot sack the quarterback. They’ve invested first round pick after first round pick to do so and still haven’t found a line that can generate pressure. And this has been going back to the Harbaugh days. Is the missing piece an edge rusher? The 49ers currently sit for a high draft pick and Nick Bosa may be the piece to fix this. Or is it? Could edge rusher really be the one thing that transforms this defensive line or is it a larger problem that an edge rusher cannot fix? On the flip side, the 49ers have been decent against the run ranking 16th in rush defense efficiency. It’s not world-beating, but this was a defensive line fighting for last place two years ago. At the very least they aren’t getting embarrassed on the ground anymore, rankings 17th in adjusted line yards. It’s not ideal, but it’s a work in progress.There’s a lot of problems with the defense and perhaps the defensive line is a root. What are your impressions of the defensive line at midseason? |
