49ers' Aiyuk tears ACL, MCL; Deebo in hospital

49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL and MCL in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, while Deebo Samuel is hospitalized with a form of pneumonia.

A few thoughts:

Hopefully Aiyuk and Samuel get healthy. But, this is why Aiyuk wanted to get paid.

Thank goodness Beane got the Cooper deal done when he did.

I wonder if the 49ers turn into sellers at the deadline...

Honestly I save a bunch using Booking.com. The only two sites I use are that and Hilton Honors.

A quick look at Seattle:

Looks like running on them won't be a huge issue.

Atlanta has a non existent pass rush, so Geno was able to sit back pretty comfortably. We should be able to make him less comfortable.

Seattle is a good team, but if Metcalf is out, Buffalo should be able to win this game. There is always the west coast factor, but Seattle is coming back from Atlanta last week.

Seattle is the very definition of Jekyll and Hyde. They looked great beating the Dolphins and Falcons.....and looked absolutely awful in their losses to the Giants, Niners and Lions.

Geno is just mobile enough that the D-line can't get out of their lanes.....but also just accurate enough that giving him time is dangerous. And they run the ball well enough that it can hurt us.

Their defense isn't great though. Their pass defense is their strength as they have a good secondary and can rush the passer. As you said, they can be run on.


I'm guessing a higher-scoring, close game.

13 QB hits is nuts,but he just had 6 on Sunday playing against maybe the worst backup tackle in the NFL.

I identified X and Z right away. Y completely shocked me. Like....wow.

7 hits in his other games is nothing to sneeze at.


Neither is Von's 5 hits in a part-time role.

Yeah I’d rather keep Von than trade a ton of assets for Garrett.

Or just use our first on an edge.

I'm not saying I would move heaven and earth for Garrett. In fact I probably lean towards the price likely being too much draft capital. But I do think some of you are underrating the caliber of player he is. Like he's squarely in the "best non QB in the nfl" conversation. He'd instantly be our second best player.

But I don't think it's happening. I just can't see Beane parting with the kind of draft picks it would take.

Ok, thats really good haha

He's not playing to that level so far this season.

It could be that like with Cooper, the issues with the team are dragging him down. But, he hasn't been the same game wrecker he's been most of his career so far in 2024.

 

[SundherDome]

Go get Kupp, I can't fathom KC getting him

 

[zenthusiast]

I think the Garrett value would be in the eventual game against a Mahomes or Jackson level qb when the pass rush dries up from the usual suspects. That’s not to say that our current guys are bad, they’re just not elite and one reason is consistency.

With that said, I can’t imagine he’s the sort of guy they could add for a reasonable price, and if not, I don’t think this is the year to splash like that.

 

[zenthusiast]

Kupp, however, would be a really interesting add if they aren’t sure about the WR room, but what does that look like functionally? I think Shakir loses snaps on the inside before Coleman on the outside.

Wouldn't Kupp and Shakir be redundant or does Kupp play outside more with Nacua there now (when healthy) ?

I’ve always thought of him as a hyper-slot guy but I could be wrong.

 

[Deevo]

KC is gonna get Kupp and I'm gonna cry

 

[ValJamesDuex]

If Cooper gets traded a week later the Browns get a 2nd imho.

 

[Reddawg]

Yeah. Smart of Beane and Co to step up and skip the bidding war. And for the exact piece needed.

 

[SundherDome]

Kupp plays on the outside but he also moves around a lot. He is what we all wanted Samuel to be. You would have 4 dangerous receivers that could all be moved around and really help Josh read a defense pre-snap with movement.
