"Next up in Sunday's home opener is Arizona's Kyler Murray, who's been a kryptonite of sorts for the 49ers. OK, he's only 4-4 against the 49ers, and he's yet to serve as Arizona's No. 1-pick superhero from the 2019 NFL Draft. Murray, however, has the Cardinals also off to a 2-0 start, and he's coming off a season sweep of the 49ers' last season."
"Our What It Takes' meeting is very much about him, and what he brings to the table, how we need to rush him, and how we need to take care of the QB run game and the run game as a whole, said defensive Nick Bosa, the No. 2 pick in 2019. The thing with Kyler obviously is his legs and the ability to make the off-schedule plays, Warner added. That's always kind of given us fits. He's slippery."
Fred Warner credited the 49ers' early success to a team defensive approach that avoids reliance on a single superstar. The 49ers prepare specifically for Kyler Murray, who is a dual-threat quarterback and has troubled San Francisco with off-schedule plays and rushing ability. Murray is 4-4 versus the 49ers, leads the Cardinals to a 2-0 start, and recently completed a season sweep that included a four-touchdown, 242-yard game and a 50-yard touchdown run. The 49ers' offense remains uncertain at quarterback between Brock Purdy and Mac Jones, while Robert Saleh's return as defensive coordinator has produced varied looks.
