The 49ers enter their home opener seeking a new starting running back and to thwart Seattle’s dominance at Levi’s Stadium.
This is obviously the 49ers’ most pressing question, with Elijah Mitchell out until November because of his knee sprain. The answer is not obvious, so we’ll extrapolate. Beyond Trey Lance’s and Deebo Samuel’s moonlighting gigs as rushers, this year’s options abound:The 49ers had high hopes in drafting him in the third round out of LSU, and his bigger body can power through defenses.
Greenlaw drew two personal-foul penalties worth 15 yards each – both in this season opener at the Bears AND in last regular-season’s finale at the Rams. Listen to captain Nick Bosa postgame Sunday on Greenlaw’s and Al-Shaair’s hits on a sliding Justin Fields: “We hit him twice on third downs, that are opportunities to get off the field. And 15 yards for a team that can’t move the ball is huge. So yeah, we gotta be smarter.”It better not rain penalty flags, again.
