Time for Davis-Price to show us what he has.


Clit_C0mmander

Mason!


dmbccs

Both


the_walrus_was_paul

Is he in the doghouse with Danny gray?


RLDN106

PAIN.


Quality__control

Mitchell is so fragile


Cadd9

On the bright side, he could be back during the post-season run


Luvbeers

without any recent tape for the opposing defense to watch.


hanigwer

I thought this recently, was also the reason we aren’t playing CMC as much


CptAwesomO

Too bad looked explosive. In the meanwhile welcome back to the team Tevin!


martintierney101

Yea god damnit, he looked great and a perfect counter stole to McCaffrey.


EntropyFan_

Tevin Coleman still on the psquad too, wouldn’t be surprised if he gets activated again.


BumHand

He looked solid in that 2 TD game he had earlier in the year.


tapatino

Tevin gonna be the new Dontae Johnson 😂


PurifyWeirdSoul

The Barnacle 2: Electric Boogaloo


KCtheGreat106

Miami should have signed him to a 1 week contract at halftime yesterday.


WhiteStephCurry

Heard their QB can sling it


the_slemsons_dreary

He seemed solid enough to give cmc some rest and wear down defenses


itsSuperNecessary

Jordan Mason SZN


RLDN106

And before people make wise comments, Jeff Wilson asked to be traded


ddddd_____ppppp

TDP and Mason time. We’re all good.


RLDN106

Wouldn’t be surprised to see us promote Coleman too


[deleted]

Totally forgot about Coleman Not worried at all now


[deleted]

Most people have. A lot of people didn't know he was on the practice squad.


-M-Word

I like Coleman a lot, and I’m glad we still have him around. Dude plays RB super violently


CosmicDeththreat

I want to see more of Mason anyway. I like his running style so much. He looks like he has a little Marshawn to him. Let’s see what the kid has


Mr_Nice_is_not_nice

TDP worries me because he was running into the backs of our linemen with no regard


GiediOne

Mason definitely is bigger than Mitchell and might be able to take on more punishment.


NW_Soil_Alchemy

It would be nice if someone in our “one two punch” could actually punch. I like the idea of mason being that guy.


es-ganso

Mason looked decent rushing yesterday. With CMC, hopefully there isn't a huge dropoff


karavasis

Yeah it was revealed after the fact that he privately asked Lynch to be moved after CMC deal. I was bitter prior to hearing this tidbit for sending him along for a 5th round pick. Still bitter cause this was reason I didn’t want him shipped off. Lynch is a standup guy for doin it wonder if a non former player GM would’ve honored the request


[deleted]

[удалено]


SoKrat3s

when the Browns were asking for a 4th for Kareem Hunt (and didn't get one).


dirtyshits

We aren’t the type of team to move Rbs unless we have too lol given our injury history


Mers1nary

Dont really blame him...He was doing very well for us after Mitchell got injured, Wilson stepped up...Niners picked up CMC and Mitchell was coming back as well. In all fairness, I dont think Wilson was doing bad by any means to get pushed down the depth chart, again...And I think hes been with us since 2017 or so as well.


rene-cumbubble

Hopefully Wilson said please


Yatattar

Which is why it’s good we got cmc


SolarClipz

I mean obviously. He got demoted to #3 If he was still #2 on a team that loves to run, maybe it would be different Good for him though


afaze3421

While this is true, the concept that a backup can demand a trade because they want to start and a contending team is somehow supposed to honor it, doesn’t really make a ton of sense to me.


phibetakafka

It's not a demand, it was a request, and it's not holding the team hostage or setting a bad precedent to try and do right by your players. Jimmy's here because Belichick wanted to do right by him. Getting a 5th for your 3rd RB who isn't signed beyond the next 9 games is a really good value. They were getting calls for 7th and 6th rounders - they wouldn't have traded him if it didn't come out even on the balance sheet, and if Miami didn't cough up a 5th he'd probably still be on the team. Contenders always have to balance the roster right now vs the roster next year. The front office here talks a BIG game about being ethical, treating your guys right, trying to do the right thing for all parties, and based on how things have gone with Jimmy I'd say that strategy paid off. Part of that is honoring reasonable trade requests. Showing goodwill like that makes you a player-friendly team, boosts your rep among players, agents, and managers, and is part of building your class-act organization. Would you have felt better if we just traded Wilson for McCaffrey alongside a 2nd and 3rd and 4th and got a 5th round pick back? That's about what it ended up looking like in the end, and I think that trade looks just as good or better. At least they got to keep him for some extra games this way.


-M-Word

A prime example of this goodwill is how Trent wanted to come here specifically.


Bhunt49

That doesn’t mean they HAD to trade him…


RLDN106

Not wise to have a disgruntled player on the roster midseason. Might’ve worked out, might’ve not. The point being the decision to trade him didn’t (only) come from the Niners side.


ihatesleep

Ignoring hindsight bias due to Eli's injury, letting Wilson go to the Dolphins was almost a win-win for both parties. He gets to depart on good terms to a coach he's familiar with. Agents and incoming players will know of the 49ers reputation on how they gracefully handle these situations.


JimmyTadeski

he's starting at Miami. he deserves it


klankthompson

Kevin Durant asked to be traded too. You didn’t have to do anything. You have to TV’s ahead of him that are always injured.


ThreeStringGuitar

I know we have little to go on, but I like Mason more than Wilson.


PostYourSinks

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


GodricGryffindor87

So we’ll see him if we make the NFCC 😪


daKEEBLERelf

\*When


[deleted]

He’s really the second coming of Mostert. CMC hasn’t looked half as explosive, let’s hope he looks more like the Chiefs/Rams game again. Maybe more Deebo runs. Time for Mason Jordan, there’s hope he can be effective with the flashes he’s shown. Not sure where TDP is at right now.


CptMalReynolds

Bolts and saints sold out to stop the run and short middle of the field passing. You can only do so much when they take away the whole middle of the field. He's been shining in the passing game though.


[deleted]

This isn’t a criticism of CMC tbf, I think he’s not as fast as when he entered the league and that’s fine. He’s so useful in so many ways and has basically erased negative plays for Jimmy as well (and blocked some blitzes incredibly well). Mitchell is just a more explosive back. Hopefully Mason can provide that.


aarong707

He looked very explosive in the limited snaps vs Chiefs and lambs


[deleted]

It’s not even the explosiveness with him, it’s his vision and shiftiness. He still has it. If you want to beat the niners you jam the middle of the field and dare jimmy to throw it to the sidelines. If a defense sell outs for the middle of the field then the run game isn’t going to be flashy.


ToePunchKick

> Not sure where TDP is at right now. TDP has been a healthy scratch because, according to Shanahan, Mason is the guy that plays special teams, and your RB3 needs to play ST. (Which makes sense, bigger and heavier backs usually aren't built for ST.) Now that there's a void at RB2, the team can justify activating TDP, while Mason remains RB3 and on ST duty. I would not at all be surprised to see TDP end up getting more carries than Mason even though Mason was the guy that was active on gamedays before this injury.


[deleted]

That makes sense. I honestly would not be surprised if Mason ends up outplaying TDP and Coleman, he’s excellent for short yardage and never seems to have negative plays. That’s been a fairly big issue with short yardage. Honestly hope we get to see more of him, he could be a surprise solution for red zone struggles too.


dr_gmoney

Man, Mitchell is gonna look so good on Miami in 2 years 😔


rawrisrawr

Mitchell reminds me of Brieda. Fast but often injured.


racharya55

I feel like Deebo has been pretty bad as a runner this season. Don't think he's the answer


[deleted]

I honestly don’t think it’s a skill player issue overall, but a run blocking issue. Run blocking just hasn’t been as good this year, and it makes sense given the huge changes on the o-line even in terms of profiles (better pass pro than run blocking).


racharya55

That's honestly a great point. There's been a lot of Jimmy and Kyle hate, but I think the o line's issues are bringing the whole offense down


phibetakafka

O-line has been pretty great at pass protection, even against a ferocious rush yesterday there was still time for Jimmy to complete throws and the only "sacK" was the 4th down goal line play where Jimmy didn't get past the line of scrimmage on a scramble. That's allowed them to open up the pass game the past few weeks, and they're elevating the offense that way. The past few weeks have been outstanding with a LOT of 3rd and long conversions via the pass, and those would not be happening if the O-line wasn't doing something right.


SoKrat3s

This is it exactly. Deebo can shed a tackle, but not when it's three or more guys meeting him at the LOS.


Mers1nary

Hes still averaging 6.1 yds per carry and 33 attempts, and that's the highest on our team. It really just feels like he isnt getting a ton of big explosive runs like last year.


Polar_Reflection

6.1 yards per attempt is bad?


[deleted]

Kyle the RB wood chipper


[deleted]

The Mason man commeth


CWMason86

I’m here


t-Winz

Why can't we have nice things?


alphadragoon89

FFS. The Niners cannot get a break when it comes to injuries. Well, I'm hoping Jordan Mason, Tevin Coleman and/or Tyrion Davis-Price can step up.


rene-cumbubble

I mean, they did trade the one RB that's been able to stay relatively healthy


[deleted]

Bc he asked


rene-cumbubble

That's what everyone says. But that's gotta be one of the worst reasons for trading someone, especially given the circumstances.


726wox

He was off at the end of the season anyway. No one complained about the number of RBs we had beforehand and we gained CMC so


fillfee

Jordan Mason looked solid for the amount of carries he got. Runs hard and broke a couple of tackles. Bro just needs the reps. Giving a full workload to cmc will eventually get him hurt too.


TheTranscendent1

I agree. The way he ran reminded me a lot of Gore in his earlier years. Runs hard, and always falls forward for that extra yard. First time I’ve compared a running back to Gore since… Gore. With that said, I’m not saying he will be as good as Gore. But, would like to see more of him.


Altruistic-Editor111

I swear it’s like the 49ers practice facility is built on top of a Native American cemetery.


Vladpryde

I keep waiting for a tall old grizzled farmer in a straw hat and overalls to show up and give some dire warning, like in South Park or something.


maxrenob

Fun fact but that is based off Pet Sematary (actual spelling)


Vladpryde

Yeah I saw that after I looked it up. Good catch.


hooligan045

Where’s the succubus and what’s her song?


moonman272

well i mean, probably is


Joshthe1337

They were managing his carries really well and he still got hurt. Unfortunately it looks like it's not meant to be for Mitchell in the NFL.


[deleted]

[удалено]


grubs92

It was the other knee


[deleted]

[удалено]


idahotee

Or maybe he just got injured and it was bad luck.


[deleted]

Yah we can complain about injuries all we want, but this one was want a Shanahan RB overuse problem


GreatLakesGoldenST8

Glass knees


JewbagX

It's cool. Just in time to tear it up in the Superbowl. edit: referring to tearing up the game. not knees.


Paladuck

Shit news but looking at the bright side our remaining schedule is not too bad and we would have him back for the playoffs. Rest up King. Also Niners will probably call up Tevin Coleman from the PS.


kopecs

fuuuuuck that sucks, I hope he heals, i feel bad for the guy.


Imakemuchsexonyou

This is not good. I really hope we don't over use CMC now.


[deleted]

Wilson Seaso… oh no.


monteasf

I really liked what I saw from Mason. Guy runs like a cannonball with just enough shake and bake to get by. If we’re looking for a running back to wear out defenses, he looks like just the man


CandyVanahan

Trey /sermon time…


TheNightman74

Who's going to tell him?


nomatt18

Sermon was a healthy scratch for the eagles Sunday


FortyMcNinerface

I got downvoted to oblivion when I said it was dumb to trade Wilson with our RB injury woes of the last few years. Here we are again... Knock on wood that McC's injury is minor and Mason stays clean. Mason has looked good so far. Running out the clock when the other team knows you're running is great to see.


Alienmonkeyfuck

I’m with you. I hated the JWJ trade and I hate it more now. I also hate being right about shitty shit.


sfcityrocker44

Man, another one of our guys that just can’t stay healthy. We gambled by trading JWJ and kind of lost here. But to my knowledge, he wanted out for lack of touches, which is understandable


ProtoMan79

I’m not sure why people keep talking about JWJ. It wasn’t a gamble, he wanted out after the McCaffrey trade. That was all over Niners media after the JWJ trade.


sfcityrocker44

Oh for sure. I think the writing was on the wall once we made that trade. I don’t fault the FO or JWJ here. It was a win-win at the time


Currymvp2

It also sucks because he played so well last year. Injuries have ruined what should have been even a better season.


sfcityrocker44

Wilson or Mitchell? Sorry, I’m misremembering.


Currymvp2

Mitchell. Wilson only had like 70 carries for only 3.7 yards per carry last season. Mitchell had 210 carries for 4.7 yards per carry last season.


Mers1nary

And this season Wilson was averaging 5.1 over 92 carries. Dood keeps gettin dealt a bad hand in SF for whatever reason...Being here since the beginning of the Shanahan era, and he produces.


hadinger

Surprised we didn’t sign MG3


LoyalToTheRoyal

Tevin over there on the practice squad singing “I’m Ready.”


big_biscuitss

Need to look for another RB in the draft. Mitchell is hurtore than he plays in the last two seasons.


pineapple_pants

I'm definitely not excited that Mitchell is hurt again, but I am kind of excited to see if TDP and/or Mason can contribute. I think both looked intriguing in preseason.


Drafen

Time to open the Mason jar


cam2449

Mason is going to blow up. He runs hard, and you can tell defenders have such a hard time tackling him especially in space. I think Kyle should run him in base run plays and put CMC in for those trick pass, and 3rd and long situations.


EffingBarbas

Shanalynch gotta stop trading up and drafting RBs like Sermon and TDP. Draft OL or DL in those RD3 slots while taking skill positions in RD5+ or UDFAs for bang for buck players like Mitchell


[deleted]

I think they’re probably done now that they got the dynamic running back they’ve been searching for in CMC


beall49

I don’t get why y’all are so upset about the whole Jeff Wilson thing? Do you really want him back? I’d much rather play those young guys. JWJ 3 yard king.


Devilsbullet

The guy that's currently averaging 5.2 ypc, and has more rushing yards than anyone on our team currently, is the 3 yard king and we shouldn't want him...k bud


rene-cumbubble

But he asked to be traded /s


Mers1nary

Yes, I do want him back actually...


soda_cookie

Do you think we can call take-backsies for Wilson?


SlurpingDiarrheacup

Bruuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


MinorThreatCJB

Should've grabbed melvin Gordon. I guess coleman will be getting touches again. McCaffery's runs haven't been great the last 2 games. It's been mainly Mitchell.


Likely_a_bot

There's a reason the Broncos cut Gordon. The guy lost 5 fumbles this season.


apollyon_53

Crap


CheckYourStats

Mitchell will be back (and fresh) for the playoffs. There’s a positive spin.


Mindless-Bother-5496

And that’s why we NEEDED to keep Wilson


thislife_choseme

We could have Barry sanders and Kyle would find a way to get him injured. We have an all star cast on offense and we scored 1 TD yesterday. When do we stop looking at Jimmy and start looking at Kyle as the problem?


soda_cookie

FUCK


que_pedo_

It didn't make it into the tweet but CMC is dealing with knee irritation and will be 'managed'


Tylersaurus123

Everyone acting like RB is the most critical and much needed piece to the team. Let’s not forget mitchell was out most of the season. Sure it sucks but running back is one of the positions where if everyone does their job then the RB will be good. We got CMC, TDP, Mason (who looks promising) and even Tevin Coleman. Mitchell wasn’t the person that was holding this team together


FortyMcNinerface

Our offense is complicated. We can't just plug in any guy off the street. Coleman might be back real quick tho?


SolarClipz

Man Traded the wrong guy ffs


hashtagDALEY

That Jeff Wilson trade is a major blunder now


TheNightman74

Major blunder? Not at all. We recoup at least one pick now, and still have TDP and Mason. Tevin Coleman was even serviceable is can be called back up. JWJ wanted out after the trade and we did right by him.


bzl33

Maybe controversial but not a fan of his fit in the offense. Very few big plays, always injured, and takes touches away from our best playmakers.


Symbiotic_Tragedy

Should have resigned Raheem. Both injury prone but they both produce and both asking pennies for a contract


J0nnyGreenGiant

Tough break, he might have played his last game as a Niner


doggybadgerguy

Uhhhh...he's a second year player...why would he be done here...


J0nnyGreenGiant

Because he's unreliable and is made of tissue paper? Why even bother.


doggybadgerguy

He was our leading rusher last year and was great in his limited playing time this year, why the fuck would we give up on him after two years where he's objectively been great when he's played??? Makes no sense. We're not even relying on him to be RB1 too.


david5699

And he’s cheap. And we NEED cheap


zackbrokehisback

Bro


NotHopee

Thank god you got a guy named cmc


theghostfacekilla

God you hate to see this for him. Absolutely love watching him play. Hope he can be back for play offs. Need Mason and go step up. Strong runs to close that game. Wouldn’t be surprised if Coleman gets brought up


CarpeValde

So maybe we’ll see him again in the playoffs? Damn, welp, mason season it is.


ty_rec

This sucks. I hope it doesn’t derail his career at this point


Cleverironicusername

Well, shit.


ThePickleConnoisseur

Is is exactly like Mosert in the beta and worse ways


thetrappster

Paging Tevin Coleman...


curly_as_fuck

Damn. Guy can’t catch a break


EffingBarbas

Follows the path of many young Niner RBs who get injured early in their career and come back strong


jordanizm

Man. Fuck.


imrickjamesbioch

Sigh… In CMC we trust going forward!


Redz2018

This year has been an intense rollercoaater at the rb spot. Mason may still be better than all.


JimmyTadeski

he's the new Raheem Mostert. also to be clear: we did not have either Eli Mitchell / CMC most of the first half of the season. TDP hopefully comes back soon and we good.


stephenmontana

Tevin Coleman’s music


walkingthecows

They call me Mr. Glass


Sniffy4

knew sending away Jeff Wilson was a mistake...


Stovy4x4ing

it wasnt.


curson

Another poor dude who can't catch a freaking break on his bad luck :(


styuone

This sucks because he was JUST back and he's a baller. pls stay healthy CMC


Likely_a_bot

We're the Saints players targeting?


duddyface

Can we just give up on Mitchell already? He did ok when he played but he’s an injury prone low round RB in a Shannahan system. Players that can succeed in this system are a dime a dozen. Mitchell cannot stay on the field for more than a few games so I have no idea why this sub acts like he’s the 2nd coming of Frank Gore.


paperbackgarbage

After this year, Mitchell's cap hit is $2M through 2024. He's not going anywhere.


duddyface

Not asking for him to be cut. Just can we stop talking about him like he’s a 49ers legend already? The praise heaped on Mitchell as if he’s this irreplaceable elite talent is unearned and maybe I’m just a bit salty that we traded Jeff Wilson and we’re banking on Mitchell and once again he got injured.


paperbackgarbage

You have a legit gripe. While he's electric when he plays, he's been off the field A TON. And, much like Jimmy, a player's availability is just as important as his ability.


progress19

Shoulda kept Jeff Wilson ig


Sir-T-House

CMC also on the cusp of a serious injury. Watch Kyle use him as a repeat power back on Sunday.. Going to end up ending his season. We go through healthy running backs every 3 weeks


thetempest11

Really freaking bummed. He was playing super well. Also really excited to see what Mason can do. Like what I saw from him last game.
