The San Francisco 49ers have made a significant move, trading for defensive end Bryce Huff, a pure pass-rushing specialist, to bolster their defensive line. This acquisition addresses a specific need for the team, providing a complement to Nick Bosa. The 49ers also reworked Fred Warner's contract, saving salary-cap room, and have over $XX million in effective 2025 cap space.

"Marques Sigle has allowed XX catches XXX yards into his coverage most of any NFL safety so far this year. Sigle has been much better in run support but teams are targeting him in the pass game. Such is life for a rookie thrown into the fire. The 49ers had hoped Nick Bosa would be around to help mask some growing pains with pass rush but it's life on hard mode for Sigle to begin his pro career"

"It is worth noting the 49ers' excellent defensive response in the immediate plays after Fred Warner was carted off. One would expect a young defense already also missing Nick Bosa to fold but there is real resilience in this group. But there is a limit to personnel losses that can be overcome and in the longer run the 49ers may have found it"

"Sunday is a prime opportunity for the 49ers' run game to finally click. Atlanta is the worst run defense (#19 EPA) that SF has faced so far. On top of that the Falcons field a relatively light nickel-based D that should be vulnerable to big TE production. Fittingly: George Kittle the leverage driver is back. That'll allow Jake Tonges to slide into the receiving-rooted TE2 role. This Falcons defense is #5 overall in EPA but the tape suggests there are exploitable vulnerabilities for a healing 49ers offense"
