SEATTLE – Richard Sherman has chimed in after another marquee matchup pitting the 49ers at the Seahawks.The target of his words: 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward.Sherman showered Ward with praise and included video evidence in a social media post stemming from the 49ers’ 31-13 win Thursday night.“The pedal and break on that quick out is clinical!” Sherman wrote on Twitter/X. “(Ward) took the assignment and shined!

Kurtenbach: Inside the Brock Purdy-Brandon Aiyuk relationship that has taken the 49ers offense to a new level

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:00:27 GMT

SEATTLE — Being an NFL starting quarterback comes with far more responsibilities than just throwing the football.The starting quarterback is the offensive coordinator on the field, responsible for clear communication of responsibilities and charged with “canning” the play if the defense’s look isn’t right.The starting quarterback is also the face of the franchise in press conferences — their time at the dais is as important as the head coach’s.And, trickiest of all, the starting quarterback is also responsible for the team’s overall temperament. Not only does his attitude and personality set a tone for the offense, but there’s also a lot of psychoanalysis that needs to happen on a week-by-week or sometimes play-by-play basis.Related ArticlesSan Francisco 49ers | Brock Purdy checks off another box and 49ers take control of NFC West San Francisco 49ers | Kurtenbach: The 49ers’ defense is back from the depths an...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
