Nevertheless, after watching what the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams have finished previously yr, it is laborious to place them in the identical higher echelon of Tremendous Bowl contenders.

The 49ers may have a troublesome time within the NFC West
“The factor [the 49ers] didn’t try this I used to be involved about is that inside offensive line,” Sherman mentioned. “They didn’t strengthen it. You’re about to go in opposition to probably the most dynamic D-lines within the league in L.A. and Seattle. You’re going to say, ‘Hey, we’ll determine it out as we go?‘ Towards Aaron Donald? Towards Leonard Williams, in opposition to Byron Murphy; that’s what you’re going to go along with? That’s the plan?”
The previous Tremendous Bowl champion additionally thinks the 49ers have manner too many query marks within the secondary, in contrast to the defending champions and the new-look Rams.
“The nook depth is a query mark now, and you don’t have any actual veteran the place you may say, ‘Hey, we simply obtained a stable man, and so they’re going to be looking for that every one season.‘ That’s why you possibly can’t put them in the identical tier because the Rams and the Seahawks proper now. Due to these questions. The Rams and the Seahawks don’t have these sorts of lingering query marks at actually pivotal spots,” he added.
