Can the Raheem Morris led San Francisco 49ers defense become the most dominant of the Kyle Shanahan era? After a statement performance against the Rams highlighted by 14 pressures and the disruptive play of Osa Odighizuwa and Ogbo Okoronkwo, the defense shut down top threats like Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, raising the bar for expectations this season. Rookie running back Kaelon Black made waves with more carries than Christian McCaffrey, racking up 65 yards on 14 attempts and challenging assumptions about Shanahan's approach to backup RBs. As the 49ers eye a top-three defensive ranking and a dynamic offensive backfield, could this roster rewrite the franchise’s recent history in the NFC West?
