49ers Brace for Myles Garrett in Week 1 as Foerster Calls Him an All-Time Great

Summary
Week 1 in Melbourne now looms as Myles Garrett’s Rams debut, with 49ers line coach Chris Foerster saying the trade caught him off guard and sent him straight to the film.
Foerster called Garrett an “all-time great” pass rusher and said San Francisco is reworking its protection plan after initially preparing for Rams edge threat Jared Verse.
Against the 49ers over the past two seasons, Garrett logged one sack and three quarterback hits in a 26-8 Browns loss last year, then no sacks and one hit in Cleveland’s 19-17 win in 2023.
Foerster said those games showed Garrett can still change stretches of a matchup even when a plan is “somewhat effective,” making his move to the Rams an immediate NFC West problem.
