With questions about Antonio Gibson (turf toe), Wash signs another RB to the PS. Not sure of Gibson’s status yet for Sunday. Tricky injuries, especially for an RB. pic.twitter.com/Klaw4iu388

This is what Alex Smith has been doing since taking over the starting job. He hasn’t made too many missed reads and he’s very good at staying patient. Scott Turner preaches for his QBs to not get bored taking the right play, even when it’s checkdowns. Smith doesn’t get bored https://t.co/JbwngZYJwt

Found it interesting to see how the Steelers played Terry McLaurin. Held him to just 2 catches for 14 yards. They made it clear early on they weren’t going to let him beat them. On Washington’s 2nd drive, Steelers have the SS bail out to stay on top while the CB cuts underneath pic.twitter.com/LcWg3jSQmt
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 9, 2020
Pretty standard practice for a lot of defenses to have a safety cut a crosser like this, but the speed at which Minkah Fitzpatrick does so, and how he’s got eyes on McLaurin the whole time, suggests McLaurin was a focus for the Steelers. pic.twitter.com/alG1TWPt0f
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 9, 2020
On Cam Sims’ big one-handed catch, McLaurin aligned to the other side of the field. FS in the middle of the field cheated to McLaurin’s side, despite Washington having 3 receivers to the other side. (Also I just wanted to tweet this catch again pic.twitter.com/b4RjNiAkrB

Kyle Shanahan on facing Washington and if any grudges: "That's pretty gone. It's been time. I feel I've gotten closure on it. I respect the hell out of Ron Rivera... Kyle Smith is doing a great job. You can tell they're being led well."
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 9, 2020
Shanahan does not believe there is 1 trait all great QBs have. He believes they have to have at least 1 great trait & other solid traits to complement that.
— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) December 9, 2020
Mentally, Shanahan says any great QB has to be a "special person" to deal with everything that comes with the position.
Kyle Shanahan on Alex Smith: "When you see him come back, it explains why he's been so successful in football."
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 9, 2020
Kyle Shanahan on why Alex Smith is effective: "Because he knows where to go with the ball... ... can dink and dunk you and if you get aggressive he'll hang in there. He's as tough as anybody... he'll make that throw if you're aggressive."
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 9, 2020
Kyle Shanahan's plan with Jordan Reed was to have him be San Fran's "Andre Iguodala" but the injuries to other TEs haven't allowed the team to ease him in as much. He was concerned about JR's concussion history, but convos with him and Trent Williams pushed Kyle to sign him
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 9, 2020
Kyle Shanahan on Trent Williams' excitement for Sunday, says he hasn't talked to him about it but "I think you guys probably know the answer to that."
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 9, 2020
Sunday is going to be another good test for Sweat and Young. Niners got 2 good tackles. Obviously Trent Williams but McGlinchey at RT is solid. Great matchup.
