NFC Notes: 49ers, Rams, Seahawks

49ers

Formers 49ers LT Joe Staley said that HC Kyle Shanahan wants him on his coaching staff but the former offensive tackle isnโ€™t in a โ€œhuge hurryโ€ after retiring last year. 

โ€œI know Kyleโ€™s trying to get me up there to work on his staff, but Iโ€™m not ready to do the coaching thing yet,โ€ Staley said, via 95.7TheGame. โ€œIโ€™m really, honestly, just enjoying the time that I have with my family right now. I have two young girls, seven and four, and weโ€™re enjoying spending a ton of time together. Iโ€™m catching up on all the time I missed while playing football and Iโ€™m not in a huge hurry to get back into something.โ€

  • Matt Maiocco notes that 49ersโ€™ recently waived LB Nathan Gerryโ€˜s was spotted rehabbing from an Achilles injury during the teamโ€™s offseason program.

Rams

Rams HC Sean McVay said CB David Long Jr. has been really impressive in OTAs so far.

โ€œHeโ€™s done a great job,โ€ McVay said, via Rams Wire. โ€œI think heโ€™s really done a nice job elevating his game at the outside location. He has been a guy with some position flex inside, but I think heโ€™s really, really done a nice job of growing. Heโ€™s gotten a lot of really valuable, beneficial reps where youโ€™ve seen him tangibly improve throughout the course of the offseason because the one thing that we have done full-speed is 7-on-7. Heโ€™s taken to Coach Evero, Coach Cooley and Coach Morrisโ€™ teaching progression, understanding concepts better and Iโ€™ve been really pleased with David and heโ€™s a guy weโ€™re going to count on and weโ€™re expecting him to be a big-time contributor for us.โ€
