“Here’s a breakdown of where things stand with the Seahawks, 49ers, Rams and Cardinals, plus how the NFC West might be won.”
How a healthy Christian McCaffrey can take the 49ers offense from good to great
“Simply put, the 49ers are aiming to ensure that they start enjoying production that’s equal to the impressive sum of their offensive parts. And that’s exactly where McCaffrey, who’s such an influential force in both the run and pass games, can again serve as the glue of the offense.
That’s especially true since most of the 49ers’ other offensive variables, from Purdy to the O-line to the receiving corps, are all performing well in a vacuum. It’s now about seamlessly melding the entire operation together and ensuring that point production isn’t left on the table.
The numbers suggest that there’s a feast for the taking right now. McCaffrey, whenever he does return, should be ready to enjoy a hearty meal.”

“And like I said, you need to build volume up, because you don’t just need to run without pain, you’ve got to be able to handle the rigors,” Lynch explained. “And that’s the hard thing, on IR you can’t go have somebody simulate [Buccanneers defensive tackle] Vita Vea tackling you ... so you try and simulate it as much as you can and you hope there’s no setbacks. The good news is, to this point, there haven’t been any.”
