Seahawks vs 49ers Preview
Trey Lance’s debut as the San Francisco 49ers’ full-time starter didn’t go as planned in Chicago amid a 19-10 loss.
Speculation surfaced that backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could overtake Lance for the starting job. Lance now faces a potential make-or-break game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
“For the most part, I thought he had some good plays,” 49ers head coach Mike Shanahan told Greg Papa on “49ers Gameplan via NBC Sports Bay Area. “That pick that he had, thought that was a hell of a play by the safety [Eddie Jackson] and obviously, you can’t throw it but that was pretty impressive of a play by the safety.”
Shanahan hopes to have Lance run more against the Seahawks. The second-year quarterback from North Dakota State had only 54 yards on 13 carries.
“Lot of it has to do with options and stuff but there’s going to be weeks where it’s like that,” Shanahan told Pap via NBC Sports Bay Area. “There’s going to be weeks where there’s less, there’s going to be weeks where there’s more, but there’ll never be a week where that’s not an option on any given down.”
Seattle meanwhile looks to build on a stunning 17-16 win over the Denver Broncos in Russell Wilson’s return to the Pacific Northwest. Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith shined in his return to starting at quarterback for an NFL team.
“I just went back to work the next day,” Smith said via Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith. “Got right into the weight room and jumped right into San Fran, and diving into work. That’s the great thing about being in the NFL, every week is a championship week. You’re always going to have a tough opponent. It’s not about what you did last week, it’s what you do in the present moment. So for us it’s about not riding that emotional high and just continuing to focus on the work and the process, and then as the games come along, expecting to win and getting back to work.”
The Seahawks defense also looked solid, holding down a potent Broncos offense. Seattle will look to neutralize Lance’s skill sets and contain star wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The 49ers missing star tight end George Kittle due to injury could help the Seahawks defend the pass.
