On the July 16, 2025, episode of Niners Now, Brady Grustas evaluates whether the San Francisco 49ers improved or regressed this offseason—and which second-year players are primed for a breakout. With major coaching changes, including the return of Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator and new special teams and offensive coordinators, the Niners have made clear upgrades on the sidelines.

Improvements on the defensive line and revamped defensive coaching signal a renewed emphasis on stopping the run and generating pressure.
