""Everything counts, you know? Is that a huge deal? I'm not sure, but you want every advantage that home field allows you and you get to pick,""
""A lot of it is just can't get tackled. Being able to break those long ones comes from all 11 guy being on point and me stepping up.""
""We've got to be elite, trying to stop the run and contain 23 this week. Really their whole stable of backs, but especially McCaffrey, he's cream of the crop, the best in the business.""
All-white throwback jerseys will be used by the 49ers to reduce heat effects in the home opener against Arizona. The team values any home-field advantage and wants to use uniform choice as a small benefit while aiming for a 3-0 start. A prior request to switch to white was denied before a near-100-degree loss to Arizona last year. Temperatures for this rematch are expected in the 80s. Christian McCaffrey is healthy, has exceeded 100 all-purpose yards in both wins, and remains central to the offense amid depleted wide receiver depth. Stopping the run and containing McCaffrey are primary defensive focuses for Arizona.
