I really kinda hated the fact that he was out there instead of Tranquill but as the game progressed it became obvious why. Chenal was really messing up that outside zone because he was just crashing Kittle and eliminated the choices that McCaffrey had.
He was probably our defensive MVP last night.

I’ve been impressed with his physicality, of course, that seems to be his calling card, but what takes it to the next level is his athleticism. He does a great job of setting the edge, and even when he is out of position or has to gain some ground, he does a fantastic job of recovering enough and squeezing the ball carrier back inside.
He had a great play that highlighted all of his skills on a Deebo end around last night.
Guys just don’t have that hard of a nose and also end up as athletic as he is. It’s crazy.
He’s been a phenomenal role player and I have nothing but good things to say about him.
