That was Lauren Lyster reporting for us tonight. For sports. The niners defense has been doing its part this season, they are a topfive defense in the nfl by pretty much every metric. They are giving up over just 19 points per game and over 300 yards per game. Now to take that next step to take that next step, im sorry its the niners offense that will have to step up more specifically this guy right there there you go Jimmy Garoppolo outside of that game against the dauphin he hasnt been all that bad but in a year where injuries are piling up in the division is the most competitive its ever been he needs to be better. Jimmy has 7 touchdowns to 4 interceptions this season. His quarterback rating is 98 flow has had his share of setbacks this season, including that high ankle sprain in week 2 against the new york jets that sidelined him an additional 2 games when the quarterback returned in week 5. The miami dolphins. The 9 ers head coach kyle shanahan, benched him at halftime following 2 late interceptions but jimmy thinks he can turn a corner and is confident that he can keep up with the seattle offense. Im always confident i think thats one thing we do real you know whether its running passing whatever it is that this office got to pick your poison cell. So weve word i a number of last season this season so its really just about i you know see what the defense is doing and just being able to adjust during the game.
