The 49ers are playing quarterback Kyler Murray of the Cardinals at the ideal time.
The 49ers will be relieved to face quarterback Kyler Murray of the Cardinals for once.
The 49ers’ opponent in Week 15 won’t be the same Cardinals squad they faced in Week 3.
The Cardinals’ franchise quarterback, Kyler Murray, will be available this time. It won’t be as simple as their previous encounter with Josh Dobbs. The 49ers defense will face significant difficulties as Murray has shown himself to be an effective returnee. The 49ers will accept that challenge wholeheartedly.
This is due to the 49ers’ favorable schedule in facing Murray this week. The 49ers’ matchup with the Ravens is, without a doubt, the most challenging of the last four weeks of the season. Lamar Jackson is the source of the problem because he is a constant source of stress. Therefore, the 49ers had to play a quarterback this week who can run the ball quickly, is fluid in the pocket, and performs the scramble drill at a high level.
This week’s game against Murray and the Cardinals is essentially a warm-up for Jackson. It won’t resemble a replication as much now. Compared to the Cardinals, the Ravens boast significantly superior offensive players with explosiveness in both the run and pass games. But the 49ers are fortunate to have Murray back this week when it comes to replicating an excellent, quick, and elusive passer.
Defense coordinator Steve Wilks stated, “I think he can run, he can leave you, he can go by you when he gets outside the pocket.” “So, we’ve got to do a great job making sure we try to contain him.”
Next week, I’m sure Wilks will say the same thing. Hurts was expertly rendered unimpressive by the 49ers, particularly in his role as an athletic playmaker. From that perspective, Murray will present a more difficult challenge, but the 49ers defense will benefit greatly from that challenging environment when they have to get ready for Jackson and the Ravens on Christmas.
