LB competition

Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw are two linebackers we know will be in the starting lineup for San Francisco. The third job is up for grabs. Here is a rundown of the position.

Nothing new on Brock Purdy, which is good?

 Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

There isn’t anything new with Brock Purdy in his recovery from elbow surgery, but that is good news. There is still optimism that he will be ready to go in Week 1.

Top safety a surprise

Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports

Touchdown Wire released its list of this year’s top safeties. Both 49ers safeties were mentioned but it was Tashaun Gipson who made the top 11, not Talanoa Hufanga. Hufanga did receive honorable mention.

Predicting the starting offense
