Kyle Shanahan
Dwight Clark Jersey , Steve Wilks talk about Josh Rosen’s success in Week 4 The San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, and that means their first look at rookie quarterback Josh Rosen. The Cardinals looked set to let Rosen sit behind Sam Bradford learning the ropes, but Bradford was so awful, he earned his first start last week against the Seattle Seahawks.The Cardinals lost, but Rosen performed pretty well. He only completed 55 percent of his passes, but his completion percentage took a hit due to drops. PFF graded his passing near 90 (out of 100), and his adjusted completion percentage was 72 percent. If Phil Dawson doesn’t miss field goals of 45 and 50 yards, the Cardinals win this game. Of course, Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski missed field goals of 52 and 38 yards, so we can flip that narrative as well.The point being however, Josh Rosen is not the reason this team lost. And he presents a challenge to an inconsistent 49ers defense. They will likely be without Richard Sherman, but Adrian Colbert and Jaquiski Tartt appear on track to return.On Wednesday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks both got a chance to talk about Rosen. Shanahan met with 49ers media for his weekly Wednesday press conference. Shanahan offered up this scouting report on Rosen’s game tape.Wilks spoke with 49ers media for the weekly Wednesday opponent conference call. He talked about the team being close to taking the next step, and cited Rosen doing some “great things” to help the team improve.A rookie quarterback is tough to sort out on a week-to-week basis, but there is one interesting note heading into this game. Last week, the Cardinals faced the Seahawks. This week, he gets the 49ers, which means he faces a similar defense in Robert Saleh’s scheme. There are plenty of differences, but the basic ground-level philosophy is similar. Wilks told 49ers media on Wednesday, “It’s always good when you start talking about a rookie quarterback being able to see some of the same looks.”The 49ers have been very solid against the run for the most part, ranking ninth in DVOA. However, they rank 23rd against the pass, coming in part because of their poor pass rush — which ranks 24th in adjusted sack rate — and in part because of their atrocious third down metrics. They rank in the middle of the pack on third and medium success rate, but they rank 29th in third and long success rate, and 26th in third and short success rate. Third down has killed this defense with regularity, and until they find answers, this is not going to change.A rookie quarterback can bring inconsistency, but Rosen appears like he might be turning into an upgrade over Sam Bradford. Robert Saleh does not bring a lot of blitzes, instead looking for his front four to get pressure. I wonder if the 49ers defensive coordinator tries to shake things up and confuse Rosen in his second career start. The chess match between Robert Saleh and Mike McCoy could make or break this game.

PDTShareTweetShareShare49ers draft rewind: 2015Every year around draft time we like to look at the ghosts of drafts past with the San Francisco 49ers and reflect on the players allocated from the draft. We luckily have video of each draft thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49. We’ll be looking at every year up to 2018. Today it’s 2015.It’s looking more and more like 2015 may have been Trent Baalke’s best draft ever if you forget about the 2011 debacle. Well, I would say thaat if not for the 2018 season rolling around and everyone getting injured. Again. The 49ers had just “mutually parted ways” with head coach Jim Harbaugh and promoted defensive line coordinator Jim Tomsula to head coach. The drama surrounding the promotion was nowhere near the drama that plagued the 2014 season and Jim Harbaugh’s eventual departure. Trent Baalke has a knack for some bad draft picks, and this draft certainly has some whiffs, but it also has some productive players that still play for the 49ers. Things started with the first pick of Arik Armstead out of Oregon. A predictable pick, Armstead was still seen as inconsistent but with a high ceiling. He still plays on the 49ers, but may have stumbled a bit. The 49ers picked up his fifth-year option last year, but it’s unknown what his future holds, especially with the acquisition of Dee Ford. In the second round, the 49ers took Jaquiski Tartt, a small-school safety playing out of Samford. Tartt came in for the injured Antoine Bethea and scored his only interception of the season against Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel. Tartt got better but in 2019, which was thought to be where he had the position on lockdown, he got injured. His position isn’t lost

Another one of those higher ranked picks that dropped to the third round, Harold was seen as a potential steal if developed correctly. It took a couple seasons, but in 2017, you didn’t hear much about Harold, and given the 49ersdefense with respect to Harold’s position—that was a good thing. Unfortunately, Harold was shipped off to the Detroit Lions to start the 2018 season in a trade and had a good year there. Was he misused in San Francisco? That’s up to you.Punter Bradley Pinion came in the fifth round,spelling the end of Andy Lee’s tenure with the 49ers in a head-scratching move. Was Pinion the long-term answer at punter? Well he is still in the league, but the 49ers didn’t lift a finger to keep him around before he left to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.And finally a Baalke special, a seventh round pick that actually worked. He took Trent Brown out of the University of Florida. While with Florida, Brown was considered to possibly be the largest person to ever wear a Gators uniform and made a name for himself as the starting right tackle of the 49ers. His name was so good, the 49ers knew he’d cost more money than the headaches he came with, so they shipped him off to New England. Brown recently signed a mega deal with the Oakland Raiders, so for a seventh round pick, I’d say Baalke guessed right. Then again, anybody can make a gazillion guesses and guess right once. Of course there were some stinkers. DeAndre Smelter joined the “ACL All-Stars” as another value pick that would have been gone in the 2nd/3rd round if not for a knee injury. Blake Bell had promise for running two-point conversions on the goaline as a quarterback and playing tight end, but didn’t excel at either. Busta Anderson was another tight end pick-up that only lasted a little over a year. This draft may be a bit more underrated as far as Baalke’s drafts go. Of the 10 picks, four of them produced in the NFL in some shape or form. And one of those picks was a seventh rounder.
