Mooney Ward has been one of the 49ers most consistent performers this season, but he struggled for most of the day against the Seahawks. Kyle Shanahan was asked about those struggles yesterday, and said he doesn’t expect a repeat performance this week.
“I think it’ll fuel him a lot. He played as good as he could verse [Seattle Seahawks WR] DK [Metcalf] in that first game and it’s hard to do that again. DK is as good of a receiver as there is in this league.
He is a problem to stop and I like that Mooney didn’t stop, he didn’t shy away from him once he got beat on that deep ball.
