49ers elevate Gipson to face Packers; Feliciano downgraded to out
“In more positive news, the 49ers promoted veteran safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. from the team’s practice squad to the 53-man roster, and activated linebacker Jalen Graham and cornerback Nick McCloud from the practice squad.”
“McCaffrey is certainly a better all-around player than Mason, but Mason averaged better than 5.0 yards per carry as the 49ers’ starter and he’d be extremely useful in a situation where San Francisco needs to lean on its rushing attack.
Aside from the run game, Allen’s presence may also facilitate a return toward something close to normalcy in the passing attack. Allen isn’t as mobile as Purdy, so he may be more apt to hit some of the throws Purdy has turned down this year. Not that the 49ers will want him dropping back 40 times, but Allen should be capable of connecting on the easy throws Shanahan figures to dial up.
If the 49ers can get back to their roots as a creative, relentless running team who gets the passing game going out of play action, we may see them not only stay afloat with Allen under center, but we could see them flip an offensive switch that gets them back on track in time to make a late playoff push.”
”I think the coolest part is driving up to it. it’s just so neat to be in a town in the middle of nowhere where there’s no way you’re going to run into a big stadium. You just feel like you’re in the backroads, you’re not in a big city and it’s just all these normal houses. Then out of nowhere there’s this huge stadium and it’s packed. The history there is unbelievable, it’s so neat because you don’t see many NFL teams in a city like that, so it’s pretty special.”
