this offseason when they swung a trade with the Chiefs to acquire Dee Ford and that move sat well with defensive tackle DeForest Buckner.Buckner said Ford has “the quickest first step in the game” and noted how his presence helped create opportunities for Chris Jones to rack up 15.5 sacks for the Chiefs last season. Buckner’s also been paying attention to pre-draft chatter and knows there’s a good chance that another new pass rusher will be joining the team next week.Buckner’s eligible for a new contract Terrell Owens Color Rush Jersey , but said this week that he’s not sweating about that and it doesn’t sound like he’s sweating about the possibility of a new addition impacting what kind of deal the 49ers might offer him.“It could be Quinnen Williams, Josh Allen, Nick Bosa — all of those guys could pass rush,” Buckner said, via TheAthletic.com. “The more pass rushers you have, the better.”The 49ers gave up more touchdown passes than all but one team last year and they were last in the league in interceptions. A thornier pass rush should help them improve on both fronts and they’ll hope that carries over to the standings after four straight losing seasons.

The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3 of the preseason. The plan is to have Jimmy Garoppolo play a half. He needs it George Kittle Jersey , after his subpar showing (some of which may not have been his fault) Garoppolo needs to get that rust off from being out of action for 11 months.Except for the Chiefs—and Arrowhead Stadium by extension—is where all of this began. Forget Week 3 of the 2019 preseason. Let’s go to Week 3 of the 2018 season. Jimmy Garoppolo was coming off a strange win against the Detroit Lions. One of those wins that felt like a loss. The 49ers were going up against the Chiefs, and getting a thorough thrashing through the first half. The second half rolled around, and Garoppolo remembered he was Jimmy Garoppolo and started dicing up the Chiefs. It was 38-24, Chiefs with just under six minutes to go. The 49ers had a shot at turning this game around. They held the Chiefs to a field goal in the second half and were getting points. On 3rd and goal from the Kansas City 20-yard line, Garoppolo scrambled and ran up the sidelines. And he kept running. And just as Chiefs cornerback homed in on Garoppolo, Garoppolo didn’t step out of bounds K'Waun Williams Color Rush Jersey , and he tried to get more yards. Then this happened. Could Garoppolo have avoided the injury had he just went out of bounds? Who knows. What is known is everyone knew right then and there his season was over. In his press conference following the game, Kyle Shanahan said the staff speculated an ACL tear. The 49ers confirmed the injury the following day. To say that the season was given up on at that point is an understatement. Just look at the comments of the above article. In his Thursday press conference, Garoppolo was asked a couple of questions about returning to Arrowhead stadium:It’s always weird to return to the site of the injury. Personally, I can point out the bike path in Eagle, Idaho, where I broke my arm the summer of sixth grade. Garoppolo is past the actual incident https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Marquise-Goodwin-Jersey , but it does take time to move on from the injury itself mentally. Hopefully, we can finally see Garoppolo for a full 16-game season, and we can never speak of this again.
