Kyle Shanahan and Trent Williams have a sordid past with Washington but the 49ers’ leaders are focused on beating the Commanders to possibly enhance playoff seeding.
As for Brock Purdy’s oblique and rib injuries, he was limited in practice but said Wednesday he feels a lot better than prior to last Thursday’s game in Seattle. “He was able to do everything,” Shanahan said. “He took it a little easier at the beginning of the week but still made the throws and got better each day. That should continue up to Saturday.”
Kinlaw said his 6-foot-5, 319-pound frame makes it difficult to play with low pad level, but when he does, “I’ve got brute strength, move-people strength. I can manhandle people.”Shanahan said he avoids announcing Pro Bowl honors in a team setting because, “I know how happy some people cheer, and I don’t want to look at the other guys who are crushed.”
“If somebody asked you who is the most effective, productive halfback in the NFL, I think nine out of 10 people would say Christian right now,” Williams said. “I understand, Dre. I know to people not in the Bay, he’s kind of new, when you talk about a name basis. When you talk about production, you know how it is, there’s a lag time. You usually make it one year after you deserve to make it.
