How much will the 49ers miss Brandon Aiyuk tonight? The Giants defense is an aggressive unit. They have blitzed on 39 percent of their plays through two weeks, which is the second-highest rate in the NFL. They want to cause chaos.
But New York also has two rookie cornerbacks that Brock Purdy and the 49ers must take advantage of. First rounder Deonte Banks has allowed 30 yards on seven targets, including two pass breakups. He’s likely to follow Deebo Samuel.
On the other side, Trey Hawkins, a sixth rounder, hasn’t been tested. Look for Kyle Shanahan to scheme up plays and go after No.
