49ers’ Aussie Opener and Offensive Evolution | San Francisco 49ers News

The 49ers hit the road to Australia for their season opener against the Rams, bringing a revamped offense led by Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. Christian McCaffrey’s explosive year fueled their passing game, but their run game struggled with efficiency—especially before contact. Their signature “21 personnel” formation, anchored by Kyle Juszczyk, remains a key weapon despite NFL trends moving toward lighter backfields. Meanwhile, Brock Purdy’s high interception rate is a glaring weakness that could cost them games, even with a strong defense. Expect bold new strategies—and plenty of turnover fixes—as both teams chase victory in a loaded matchup. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
