“Injuries for today. [WR] Mike Evans, hip, won’t practice. [DL] James Thompson, ankle, won’t practice. [WR] Demarcus Robinson, ankle, won’t practice. [DL] Romello Hight, hand, won’t practice. Then [DL Nick] Bosa, [LB Dre] Greenlaw, [RB] Christian [McCaffrey] and [T] Trent [Williams], vet days.”

“Trying to think of what it was again. I know it was his knee. A bone chip.”

“His knee.”

“No.”

“Yeah, I believe he’s getting surgery. But no, it’s not a season-ender, so hopefully get him back sometime.”

“He’s still an option. I hear he came out good, so we’ll see how he heals up this week. Outside chance he could be available.”

“He had something in camp. I don’t know if this is the same or if it was something new, but it was bothering him a lot after the game.”

“Just awesome to get a veteran receiver here. I mean, Brandin, I’ve been a fan of him for the last 10 years. He’s had a hell of a career, been a hell of a player. We’re down on guys, so it’s awesome to get a guy in here who’s done it before and done it for a long time.”

“Just showing him our situation. He knows that we’re down guys, so he’s going to have an opportunity to get up eventually. Tell him we’d give him a chance to come here, let him show us what he can do, give him a chance to compete to get up. Today will be his first day, so he’s got to learn the offense, get used to it out there, but hopefully he can show that over this week or over the next few weeks.”

“I have no idea. It’s only my first day seeing him, so I’m not sure. But, we’re down guys so as soon as he’s ready. We usually get five guys up for game day, so as soon as he can show he’s one of those five.”

“Anytime you have five D-tackles make a team and you’re down to two of them after two games, that’s always a concern for anybody. We were able to sign one new guy and then we’ve got three guys on practice squad that will be competing to see who’s up. We’ve got guys there in this building, so we’ve got to see how those guys step it up.”

“Big time. There’s some guys who don’t play all year and they don’t realize how strong of an opinion I have from watching them on scout team every day. It’s not just about giving us the right looks. That’s where it starts, getting our guys ready. It also shows who can play football. You ask them to do some different techniques each week, who can listen, follow directions and understand what’s going on. It’s very rare that we’ve had a guy who’s really bad at scout team who’s ended up being a good player. It usually goes hand in hand.”

“He’s done a real good job in these two weeks. The guys are playing real hard. They had a real impressive win the first week. I thought the game last week was a lot closer than the score indicated. Just the style of offense they’re doing, it’s similar schematically to the Rams, but they’re blocking hard, they’re running hard, guys are really competing. The defense is very similar. It’s been the same group really for like the last four years, but you can tell they’re a real competitive team. They have a lot more talent than people give them credit for and I know Mike’s going to have them ready to go.”

“Deep down probably yeah, and eventually. But, it’s more irritation, especially when you have to run into them twice a year.”

“I think a lot of that is. Anytime you’ve got to play as a unit, it’s five guys together moving together. To play that way and have those numbers, it can’t just be individual efforts. You’ve got to play really well as a group and you’ve got to get help too from the tight ends, the running back, even the receivers. And the quarterback’s got to buy into it and make sure you play within that pocket and not just start drifting and running around. So, they’ve been unbelievable and I think the six guys out there have really helped him out too.”

“I mean, possibly, but I get that question a lot and it’s so hard for me because Brock as a rookie in those seven games he played, he played as good as any quarterback I’ve had. Those were his first seven and then I think his second year he was top-five for MVP of the league and took us to the Super Bowl. So, Brock’s played at such a high level since his first game versus Miami. So, to say how much better he’s gotten, I mean, you can’t get that much better. I think he’s been extremely consistent and I think he gets more comfortable just with everything he’s faced. He’s been in every situation. I think he’s been comfortable with the offense since the beginning, but just the more you play, the more you see defenses, you see certain fronts, you see disguises, you know what it feels like to be up a lot, to be down a lot. I think Brock learns from every life experience he’s in and that just makes him better as a player and better as a man as he gets older.”

“The mental part of his game is just how consistent he is. He never makes an excuse. He always believes it’s his fault. He’s such an easy guy to coach. He’ll never be sensitive. Even when I don’t think it’s his fault, he looks at it as his fault first, which makes him just fun to coach and always able to get better. Just physically on the field, I’d say there’s lots of traits he has, but how accurate he is, how good he is at layering the balls over defenders and how well he plays in the pocket.”

“I’m not sure. I just know it’s a hip injury.”

“Yeah, I mean there’s a lot of variables there that you just asked me. That’s why it’s not simple just to put everybody on IR return because then eventually you’re not going to get one back. We’re going to run out of them eventually, so that’s what we’re trying to balance out, see how those guys are this week. Most likely they’ll go on IR, but we’re still balancing it out because we’ve got to make decisions with that that I’m not totally in right now. But yeah, it’s complicated and we’ve got to guess.”

“I don’t know if we have any on the schedule. I don’t think we do, but we’ve got enough for this week. When you’re down that many, though, it’s something that we’ve got to be on top of all the time. That’s why you’ve got to have a good personnel department. Those guys are working on that all the time. Even when we’re not down guys, they’re trying out other positions that you don’t necessarily need because you can lose two guys in one game, you can lose three guys in one week, just like we’ve had some unfortunate luck in these two weeks, so you’ve got to have a plan for everything.”

“I thought he played real well in both games, so I thought he’s done a really good job this year so far.”

“Consistency. I think in the two games he’s played has probably been his two most consistent games.”

“I don’t really look at it that way. We’re just trying to get the five best guys out there, and that’s what complements our whole roster. So, it’s not always your top three receivers. Usually, it’s your top three and then four and five are guys that got to be able to help that receiver, but also have to contribute other places which is why you want them to be able to help out on special teams. If no one gets hurt in a game and you don’t need to rotate guys a lot, then you want your best special teams players at four and five. If guys can’t go every play and you’re trying to rotate guys, then you’ve got to balance out with who’s the best special teams guy and who’s really good at receiver. We’ve got two receivers in [WR KhaDarel] Hodge and [WR Jacob] Cowing who have a big role in special teams so it plays out that way with those guys and we’ll see how he can fit in. Whether he can be one of the guys that can be those top three guys or one that passes up one of the special teams guys.”

“It’s pretty common. That’s why I hate when wideouts get judged off of stats. The only way you can force a ball to somebody, to me, is by handing it off to them. Or you can just throw into double coverage and avoid the open people. But I mean, we have that on all our plays and you attack certain coverages and if number one’s covered a certain way, it should take you to number two. If they do a certain thing there, then three should be open. That’s why you like a quarterback who can go through those progressions. You like an O-Line who can give them the time to. And you like receivers who run as hard as they can every play, knowing that just because it says alert on a piece of paper, you get a certain coverage and that alert becomes number one very fast. If you think that it’s always just, ‘Hey, they’re forcing the ball here or there,’ when it’s your time, you won’t be ready. We haven’t thrown that route. We haven’t called that concept versus that coverage yet and didn’t get it much in camp either. That’s a credit to how all our guys are and especially D-Rob on that play. He was running his ass off like he was number one and based off that coverage he was.”

“[Executive vice president of communications] Corry [Rush] told me before I came in.”

“Bill Walsh is the man, so I didn’t look at it as really being compared to Bill Walsh, but thank you for doing that. I don’t even know if it’s a record or anything, but the thing I just saw before I came in and when it said 166 games, it just made me realize how old I’ve gotten because that’s a lot of games.”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Yeah, when I first got here. They had everything recorded. That was something that my dad told me about when he came in when he replaced [former 49ers offensive coordinator Mike] Holmgren, how cool it was for him because he lived in the Marriott, which is where we stay in before games. For two months without the family and everything, he just watched every Bill Walsh install for like the previous 10 years. Then when the players came in, he was able to talk to them about their offense like he already knew it. And they have all that stuff. It’s totally different now, but that’s stuff that I entertained myself with when I first got here. It’s pretty cool.”

“No, I think Deebo’s the same dude. I think guys are always, when they leave and they come back, I think they’re always excited to come back and things like that. So, that’s been cool. But, Deebo’s always, he’s been one of the more socially aware and cool guys around our team in terms of like he hangs out with everybody and gets along with everyone and it’s been the same Deebo.”
