NFC Notes: 49ers, Rams, Seahawks

49ers

  • The Athleticโ€™s Matt Barrows and Tim Kawakami agree the most likely scenario is 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo is released after this season, as the team will be ready to move on to first-round QB Trey Lance and trading Garoppolo with his $24.7 million base salary will be hard.

Seahawks

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson said the team should be playing better than it is.

โ€œTo go through all this, you know, itโ€™s been a challenge so far this year,โ€ Wilson said, via Adam Jude. โ€œWeโ€™re up against it a little bit, and if anybody likes being up against Iโ€™m OK with it. What this teamโ€™s going to get from me is everything I got, every day, every moment, every second, like I always have. I lay it on the line every play, no matter what the score is, no matter what the circumstances are.

โ€œIโ€™ve had harder days, too. This is a pretty hard day โ€” this is a hard couple of weeks or whatever, just because weโ€™re feeling it right now. And we know that weโ€™re up against it.โ€

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll is at a loss as to why the offense hasnโ€™t improved by getting Wilson back.

โ€œItโ€™s really surprising now that weโ€™re back a couple weeks with Russ back in there that we had such a hard time scoring and moving the football,โ€ Carroll said, via ESPNโ€™s Brady Henderson. โ€œThe running game was pretty efficient. But it came down to we were 1-for-5 in the first half [on third down]. The hard part of it is that this is what itโ€™s been like and it hasnโ€™t gotten better. We have to improve and find our ways.โ€

Carroll mentioned he has to do better in order for the team to start winning again.

โ€œI feel like weโ€™re going to win next week and weโ€™re going to play a great game on the East Coast and come on back here and get ready for the next one,โ€ Carroll said. โ€œI donโ€™t have any other thought in my mind. Iโ€™m just disappointed that Iโ€™ve got to keep coming back in here and talk about the same stuff and donโ€™t feel like I have good answers for you. Because our answers so far have not turned it. โ€ฆ It starts with me. Iโ€™ve got to get this done, and Iโ€™ve got to help my guys get it done.โ€

  • Carroll said Wilsonโ€™s finger came out of Sundayโ€™s game healthy: โ€œHe feels fine, he really does. He feels fine.โ€ (Bob Condotta)
  • Seahawks RB Chris Carson has a disc issue that needs to be fused, per Carroll: โ€œThatโ€™s a surgery that can get him back somewhere late in the spring. Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™ve heard. So weโ€™ll see what happens with that.โ€ (Henderson)
  • Carroll said RB Rashaad Penny has a hamstring injury. โ€œslight hamstring weโ€™ve got to deal withโ€ฆ Itโ€™s not a bad injury, but thereโ€™s something there.โ€ (John Boyle)
