San Francisco 49ers are 'crumbling' and in 'disarray' after axing Jarryd Hayne

Hyde was ruled out earlier in the week with a foot injury.

The 49ers gained just 189 total yards.

However, there is a rumor that Newcastle are preparing a massive bid for Jarryd Hayne if the former Parramatta superstar ends up returning to NRL.

Gaskin, on the other hand, was not off to a good start with the team.

He rushed five times for six yards as the Rams limited San Francisco to 38 rushing yards.

Quarterback Colin Kaepernick was 20-of-41 passing for 162 yards, taking three sacks and getting hit nine times, according to the press box stats.

Fortunately for the Rams, it's opposing defenses that have to try to keep up.

Gurley's huge touchdown run wasn't the only big play to result in a score.

However, Austin's part of the equation is still a work in progress - the Rams would like to get him the ball more - there's no denying that Gurley and Austin have the makings of a heavyweight one-two punch. The Rams are 2 1-2-point underdogs this week at Minnesota (5-2), which whipped them 34-6 in the opener past year in St. Louis.

Todd Gurley broke off a 71-yard touchdown, Tavon Austin recorded a 66-yard score on a bubble screen and Jared Cook hauled in a 49-yard reception to set up another touchdown. The St. Louis defense hasn't allowed a touchdown the last two games, permitting just four field goals. With a worrisome injury report on Friday listing a couple starters as "Questionable", things obviously got better going into the game with the news that the Questionables (which might well be the 30 for 30 names for the 2015 St. Louis Rams) were all active. Without Dawson, the 49ers would be working on a long scoreless streak. The return game was fine, but it doesn't help the offense no matter what happens on special teams.

The 49ers like to have four running back options in their 53-man squad and need to settle on a punt returner to replace Bush.

Of course, the team and all of the players allegedly involved deny it. To hear them tell it, the 49ers are still one big, happy family. I'm not satisfied overall with the team, with execution, those kind of things. That's been the case in three road losses this season already. Plenty of intensity, plenty of hard-hitting, and not much offense. Why can't this team come out fired up away from Levi's Stadium? Blaine Gabbert is the backup.

 

With Whisenhunt gone, attention has now turned to which head coach will be the next out the door - and Tomsula is near the top of the list.
