They didn't really lose too many players other than those two though.

Yes, relative to other teams we still have a good TEAM on paper. While we still have weaknesses, other teams have more.
Other than the SB hangover which i believe is real, we should still be in the hunt this season. If we can avoid a losing streak in the regular season, this team will be fine.

To me the biggest thing will be injuries, and they weren't even that healthy last seaseon. So if they can be even a little healthier than last year particularly on offense that should also help.

5 49ers that should take a major step forward in 2020
It makes sense these guys will take a step forward but don't see "major" steps forward?
IMO DJ Jones was already playing well so it will be minimal 'forward' for him. Lets just hope there is no 'sophomore slump' for Samuel and Greenlaw.
Speaking of Greenlaw, this guy says keep him at Will and move Alexander to Sam?

How the 49ers Offense will Evolve in 2020
Makes sense that Shannahan needs to adjust his offense, including deeper throws. But i wouldn't want him to call more than a few per half. BTW - I take deep throws as 20+ yards. Obviously, game conditions and your opponent requires adjustment too, but generally you don't keep throwing deep balls.
Shannahan's offense is designed to put receivers in space AND allow them to RAC. This makes sense because getting yards by RAC is safer than throwing it that far, it reduces the odds of INT's.
Adding more play action makes sense too, JG is good at it.

49ers need Armstead and Ward to prove that their 2019 play will be the norm
No question we need this!
Ok, i think Armstead will have a few less sacks, but otherwise play close to the same level. I expect Ward to play at the same level as last season but as we all know, his biggest issue has been injuries.

Ranking the NFC West Offensive Lines
We know our O-line still isn't GOOD by league standards, but at least its better than the other West teams. Its not easy to get two good OT's, so we're looking good there................at least for one season.

Ok so you can't have everyone be a Pro-Bowler, so you choose a philosohy. I'm defintely for pass rush over coverage, ie have the D-line that can pressure the QB. The reason is pressure affects the QB's ability to throw anywhere and to anyone, whereas a top CB can only cover one WR.
Nick Bosa can affect a QB so he can't throw to either WR1, WR2, nor the slot. For those times where the TE is running a little further, Bosa affects that too.
Jalen Ramsey can shut down Debo Samuel assuming he's the outside guy, but he can't shut down Aiyuk, Kittle, and Bourne.
The second reason is D-linemen is important against the run too.

Hmm, that didn't post, here is part of it:
Depending on who you talk to, cornerback either is the most important position on a defense or the least important position, and there doesn't seem to be any in between.
How you feel about the cornerback position reveals your philosophy about pass defense in football. Either you feel cornerback is the most important position, he shuts down the opposing team's No. 1 target and gives the pass rush more time to hit the quarterback. Meaning a shutdown corner makes a mediocre pass rush good.
Or you believe a great pass rush speeds up the opposing quarterback, gives the secondary less time to cover and makes a mediocre secondary better. Those are the two different philosophies of pass defense. And each NFC West team has its own philosophy.
The 49ers are clearly about pressure, whereas the Rams are more on coverage (man to man).

Without even reading it, of course its a given they have to go all out to win the SB?! IMO Lynch didn't do anything indicating he isn't going all out? He began going all out last season the moment he traded for Emmanual Sanders.
We are up against the cap and that's without Kittle's new contract, so don't see what else he might do?
With no major injuries or at least not to key players, we should be SB contenders again.

Five Players the 49ers Should Cut
Ok, does make sense on all five of these players. We like to think Thomas will provide good depth/rotation but if he isn't better than the others, don't prolong the agony.
Same with Pettis, we like to think he'll do well in the open field, but he just didn't have it. Now there are too many valuable WR's ahead of him.
In the big picture, still think Shannahan needs to "back off" on his draft picks. He now has a track record of pushing too hard for 'his type of players'. Joe Williams, CJ Beathard, and Dante Pettis were all drafted too high and worse, we traded up for Beathard and Pettis. We'll see about Hurd shortly?

49ers' future could hinge on how Deebo's broken foot heals
Samuel on Tuesday sustained a broken fifth metatarsal, known as Jones fracture, the 49ers confirmed. NFL Media's Ian Rapoport first reported Samuel’s injury.
Samuel was scheduled to undergo surgery on Thursday on his left foot.

What a 49ers trade for Jamal Adams might look like
Just don't see a trade happening, we'd be trading just for a one year rental like Emmnual Sanders and Trent Williams.
While Tartt isn't Jamal Adams, he isn't so bad we need to disrupt the chemistry.

Free agent wide receivers 49ers can target while Deebo Samuel is out
I would just go with whom we have now, then they can get more reps in. Aiyuk is the no-brainer receiver for getting more reps. He could even try some of the plays Samuel did running the ball.
Hurd certainly needs more reps as a receiver, then whatever is left give James and Jennings some reps too. You need to see what you've got in these guys whether trading James or keeping Jennings on the PS?
Not including Travis Benjamin here cause he's targeted for deep routes.
On the other hand, if Lynch wants to hedge against more WR injuries, then bring in another WR. Less reps for others and not good for the cap, but the reason is you want them to learn the play book now.

Oh wow, i forgot about Pettis, yes he can get more reps since he's another potential trade.
Now with the report a 49er has COVID, this might be a HUGE problem should more than one WR caught it? IF so, then you're almost forced to bring in a FA such as Taylor Gabriel to get him into the play book. We can only hope our non-WR in Nashville, are negative.

Pettis now has an opportunity to show his new attitude. We'll see if he becomes a trade candidate?
I would think Richburg would become a trade candidate before Garland? Garland's performance was just about the same but at a much less lower cap hit. Granted, Garland's starting track record isn't long.
Unless a RB gets hurt early, trading Coleman isn't a surprise. They need that cap space for other players.

2020 Training Camp Preview: Return Specialists
As a returner your main job is secure the ball.
Make a good decision on punts (come up and catch or let it bounce), catch the ball clean, and then secure it. For me, even if he gets zero return yards, main thing is to secure the ball on the catch and on the hit(s).

Steve Young isn't wrong but at the same time, JG isn't a rookie. He has ALREADY played in Shannahan's offense for twenty something games, so Kyle has seen enough to either trust him or not. They just went thru the play-offs so Kyle can add that factor too, into his trust thinking.
IMO, the only thing JG needs to do is cut down on INT's, he otherwise threw more than well enough and executes the offense well. He has done it in crucial games and in 3rd and longs. If he gets the same stats as last year less INT's, that is a solid performance.
As for running the ball, i PREFER running the ball until the defense stops you. I don't hold it against JG that we ran so much last year, including play-offs. Running is the better way to go because it reduces mistakes. NOT saying lets force the run but if its working in a game, keep at it.

How can you leave out Nick Bosa? I would replace Richard Sherman with Nick Bosa.
I might even replace George Kittle with Arik Armstead?
