Kurtenbach: The 49ers’ big second-half question — where’s the juice?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:23:36 GMT

So much has gone wrong for the 49ers’ defense over the last few weeks, it’s difficult to know where to start making corrections.They need to rev up the pass rush — the acquisition of Chase Young is aimed at doing that. They need to stop calling such plain and predictable plays, which could be helped by film study over the bye.But perhaps this defense’s biggest issue heading into the second half of the season is that it has lost its swagger.And I don’t think defensive coordinator Steve Wilks moving from the coaches’ booth to the sideline is going to help with this.A little film study of my own shows a defense that is devoid of juice.The Niners’ defensive personnel is arguably better than last season. And yet they look to be a shell of that former team.Like a balloon without air, this Niners’ defense looks limp.Someone needs to pump them up.The NFL is a billion-dollar business with innovative coaches, but it’s still a simple game i...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:23:36 GMT

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks acquired defenseman Calen Addison from the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday for AHL winger Adam Raska and a 2026 fifth-round draft pick.Addison, 23, had five assists in 12 games for the Wild this season and has five goals and 38 points in 92 career NHL games, all with Minnesota. A second-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2018, Addison was averaging just under 17 minutes of ice time per game this season.Addison would give the Sharks more of a true quarterback on the man advantage as he had been, up until recently, on Minnesota’s top power-play unit. He was third on the Wild this season in overall power play time on ice, averaging 4:12 per game.The Sharks went 1-for-5 on the power play in their 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, with William Eklund’s second-period goal on a 4-on-3 man advantage proving to be the winner.The victory was the Sharks’ first of the season after 11 straight defeats.

The end of the actors’ strike seemed within reach. Why is a SAG-AFTRA deal taking so long?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:23:36 GMT

Christi Carras, Wendy Lee and Meg James | (TNS) Los Angeles TimesAbout this time last week, the major Hollywood studios were optimistic and the performers union SAG-AFTRA was cautiously optimistic that a tentative deal to end the actors’ strike was within reach.One hundred and seventeen days into the walkout that has ground the entertainment industry to a near-halt, such a settlement remains to be seen. On Monday afternoon, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said in a statement that there still were “several essential items” the sides had yet to agree on.This came after the union formally responded to what the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers described as its “last, best and final offer,” the contents of which are starting to emerge through anonymous sources. The parties have been going back and forth for about two weeks of frequent meetings in an effort to resolve their labor dispute.Despite signs of progress, a deal betwe...
