Zaire won 💪

That was a HELL of a play.  I was at the game and place came unglued on that hit.

That absolute brick wall that Franklin and Buckner put up was a thing of beauty!!! 

 

I did find a reenactment of this play (Henry played by the truck - dirt pile played by Franklin & Buckner):

Now if Leonard can ever come back to what he was, we may have the best set of LBs in the league.

I think we might even without Leonard.

44 has become better, way more consistent and available.  We cannot let him leave even if it means saying goodbye to Leonard

49ers do. 2 all pro level players

Chris Ballard may be the best linebacker drafter ever. Shaq Leonard, Anthony Walker, Bobby Okereke, EJ Speed, Zaire Franklin…all quality players, all have performed well as starters in the league.

I love Shaq and everything he has done for this team both on and off the field, but from a business standpoint, 44 is (at least right now) a better player and consistently healthy

King Henry was the "Court Jester" at LOS on Sunday!!

 

GREAT JOB DEFENSE!!!

I'm not sure it's solely about Leonard regaining pre-injury form. He plays a different position and has less freedom than he did in Eberflus' scheme.

As much as I like Franklin, u let him walk. I have said on many occasions that u can find lbs in the later  rounds to excel in this D. Leonard and Franklin's dominance should tell u their success is probably more related to them fitting the scheme than their overall talent.

He hasn’t looked the same this year. He had a great game against Cincy, but their defense was gassed that whole game. Other than that, he has been average this year. RBs leave their prime very quickly.

Do forget the help from whoever is grabbing his calves in the pic lol.

THAT was a statement!

Zaire clearly upped his game to a new level. I don't remember him being this good or even half of it in the previous seasons. He's looking like prime D leonard out there minus the forced turnovers.
