about matchups and and figuring out which winnable matchup. you have the forty-niners style is how they beat the rams. they play a physical style. style of football and the rams can't win that way. and if they try to blame the forty-niners that same way, they're going to lose a game. >> there is still one big x factor heading into tomorrow. and when i say big, i mean, big its a 300 pound offensive lineman pro bowl left tackle trent williams. he was questionable on yesterday's practice report. now they're wondering whether he will actually be able to play for tomorrow. he's dealing with a sprained ankle looking like it's going to come down to a game time decision. kylen. thanks for the update, kate. we'll check in with you in just a bit. hopefully the forty-niners offense rested up and ready to play better than last week against the packers when they didn't score a single offensive touchdown. i talked with sacramento beast forty-niners reporter chris peterman about how they might use the run game which we just heard about to beat the ramps. >> everything the forty-niners like to do offensively is sort

of starts with the running game right there. they're a very good play action team. they like to hit the edges. and then, you know, if teams overload the edges and will cut back inside, i'm very curious to see how that impacts their use of deebo samuel. great because he's a guy that, you know, the forty-niners are undefeated when he gets carries. >> and in that week, 18 game, you remember the rams overloaded a little bit to stop the los angeles on the forty-niners pulled out deebo samuel past which led to a touchdown to juan jennings. and that was one of the biggest place in that so, you know, is 40 years obviously want to get people, samuel, the ball, particularly in the running game. but how much of his usage is going to be as a d coy to maybe set things up for for other >> they clearly want to run the ball. it's part of their identity. their physicality is is one of their defining traits on offense. so that's going to be part of it. >> the warriors looking to keep their recent success rolling will hosting one of the best teams in the east, the brooklyn nets in town without kevin durant remains out with an mcl sprain. james
