The post 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan drops mic on Jake Moody: ‘Kicked his a** off’ appeared first on ClutchPoints. The San Francisco 49ers are hoping to rebound in 2025 after a disappointing 2024 season. San Francisco is looking good during the preseason, defeating Las Vegas 22-19 on Saturday. One 49ers player received a ton of praise after the close win.

The San Francisco 49ers reportedly attempted to bolster their wide receiver depth by trading for John Metchie III, but the Philadelphia Eagles landed him instead.

The 49ers kicker was on his way to being a shaky summer storyline until two kicks in the final minute bought him some breathing room.

Puni, a third-round pick of the 49ers last year, played a key role for the team as a rookie. The 25-year-old played a team-high 1,078 offensive snaps, allowing just three sacks, along with 35 pressures and 32 hurries, according to Pro Football Focus.

For a moment during Saturday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, it seemed as if the San Francisco 49ers had turned back the clock with an Owens streaking through the opposing secondary.

Brock Purdy was the first to praise 49ers teammate Jake Moody for his match-winning field goal against the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday. Although preseason games carry no official standings value, last week’s result was especially significant following a 30-9 blowout loss to the Denver Broncos.

For the 49ers their health has become a greater concern than their preseason performance. They just need to make sure they have enough healthy bodies to keep their key starters out of harm's way. More than 20 players missed their preseason opener vs. the Denver Broncos with injuries, and that number could rise Saturday when they face the Raiders.

The 49ers lost Talanoa Hufanga to the Denver Broncos in free agency, leaving them without a true answer in the middle of their secondary. Ji'Ayir Brown and Malik Mustapha are currently penciled in as the two starters, but that could definitely change before Week 1.
