A matchup with the offensively challenged New England Patriots was just what the San Francisco 49ers' defense needed to get back on track. A better test of whether those early season struggles were a temporary blip or a more concerning problem will come when the Niners host Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner returns an interception for a touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game against the New England Patriots in Santa Clara, Calif., Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray throws while scrambling against the Washington Commanders during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024, in Glendale, Ariz.
“He’s hard,” San Francisco defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen said about dealing with the dual threat from Murray. “Those guys are hard to deal with, because he does have the arm strength and he can escape like a freaking punt returner. He’s got elite quickness and doesn’t have to have his feet set to throw the ball. So you have to be disciplined. ... It’s one of those track shoe-type days.
“I think that’s an overlooked part of his game,” Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said. “Sometimes he looks like Houdini back there. It’s hard to get him on the ground, too. Not being a quote unquote, one of those guys that you talk about as a mobile quarterback, he’s very mobile.”The Kyler Murray-Marvin Harrison Jr. connection has been pretty much everything the Cardinals could hope for through four games. Harrison — the No.
“I thought he launched really well off the line of scrimmage,” Gannon said. “I thought his route depth and his execution to detail, his routes were really good. I thought he won a bunch of one-on-ones. He was open a couple times, and the ball didn’t find him, but I thought he was winning at a high level.”Niners linebacker Fred Warner has been delivering game-changing plays all season, with his 45-yard interception return for a TD last week against the Patriots just the latest.
