NFC West Notes: 49ers, Cardinals, Seahawks

49ers

Despite a poor performance from the team’s defense last night, 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said he has “a ton of confidence” in DC Robert Saleh.

“Saleh is very good at what he does, and I have a ton of confidence in him and I have ton of confidence in our scheme,” Shanahan said, via NBC Bay Area. “They made the plays to win at the end that we didn’t.”
