Usually, the 49ers have the best running back on the field. That might not be the case this weekend. The 49ers will face Packers running back Josh Jacobs for the first time since 2022 when he was with the Raiders.
The 49ers will face Packers running back Josh Jacobs for the first time since 2022 when he was with the Raiders. Through 10 games this season, Jacobs has 1,024 yards from scrimmage and 5 touchdowns.
This week, I asked 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen what makes Jacob unique and how he has improved the Packers offense. Here's what they said courtesy of the 49ers p.r. department. SHANAHAN: "Josh Jacobs is as good as it gets. I think the last time we faced him was in Vegas. I thought he was the best running back we faced that year. Christian will correct me on that, since we faced him at Carolina earlier that year. But no, he's a stud.
SORENSEN: "Unique is that I think he truly trusts the system and he's very physical and you see the jump cuts, but he doesn't just jump cut to just go wherever. I always feel like he's just going to the right place because if you're watching it, he's just bouncing, no he's going a gap at a time because he's jump cutting to get to. He's got such tight cuts that he'll get vertical. Everything's about getting vertical and he is very, very powerful.
