It isn’t often that you’ll find an NFL head coach speaking lightly of an opponent, no matter what their record is. Some head coaches, like Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots, will gush about an 0-14 team as if they’re destined to make a Super Bowl run.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has always been respectful of his upcoming opponent. Shanahan was once in the same shoes as Cardinals head coach Johnathan Gannon, when Kyle needed to re-tool San Francisco’s roster back in 2017.
The Cardinals are 1-2 through three games, and are +4 in point differential.
