49ers should be more concerned with Browns’ Myles Garrett than Deshaun Watson

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 01:21:18 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Deshaun Watson absence from Cleveland Browns’ practice is not distracting 49ers from Sunday’s bigger issue: the Browns’ defense, and, Myles Garrett, in particular.“He’s one of the most talented guys anyone’s seen,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday. “The style they play on defense is very similar to ours: they rush the passer on every play and then react to everything else.”The 49ers (5-0) make their first visit to Cleveland since 2015, the Browns (2-2) will rely on Garrett and their defense to key an upset bid, what with Watson unable to practice because of a rotator cuff injury.P.J. Walker, not rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, will start ahead if Watson can’t play a second consecutive game because of a rotator cuff injury, the Browns announced. Prior to last weekend’s bye, Watson was somewhat of a surprise scratch against the Baltimore Ravens, so Thompson-Robinson drew the start and threw three interc...

Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill explicitly outlawing California residents from voting here and in another state for the same election, closing a loophole brought to light by a Santa Clara County case of people who had repeatedly voted in elections held on the same day.Assembly Bill 1539 makes it a misdemeanor for someone whose primary residence is in California to vote in another state where they also claim residency. The new law, signed Tuesday, was authored by Assemblymember Marc Berman, D-Menlo Park, and was sponsored by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.“Voting twice in the same election in two different states is a violation of the principle of one-person, one-vote,” Berman said in a statement.The inspiration for the bill came from a 2020 report to the district attorney’s office that three South Bay residents had voted in elections held on the same day in California and in Oregon, where they also had a home. But prosecutors found them...
