No Brock Purdy or Nick Bosa, but the 49ers are optimistic Trent Williams can now play, he’ll be evaluated pre-game.
Without their most important players on offense and defense, Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers coaching staff will need to manufacture a way to compete.
The concern is that Allen is not elusive, he’s not the scrambler or escape artist that Brock Purdy is. Allen was sacked three times in his three preseason games, and was sacked four times in his last start in 2022 for Cincinnati. Fortunately for San Francisco, the Green Bay edges are not elite. The Packers are likely to test Alen by blitzing in passing situations.
If Green Bay goes up by two scores early the Niners will need to stay patient with the run. A depleted offense under Allen can’t afford to become one-dimensional. Another factor is if Allen is not effective in the first half, I could see Shanahan going with Josh Dobbs in the 2nd half to mix it up.Jordan Love ranks 5th in the league with 260 passing yards per game. A high risk-reward quarterback, he has 11 interceptions in eight games including two pick-sixes.
Jayden Reed is their primary target, they motion him a lot. 38 catches, 643 yards, 4 TDs. Christian Watson had 150 yards on 4 catches last week vs. Chicago.
