Turnovers
A dominant defense and 13 wins helped overshadow some of the 49ers’ turnover problems on offense. They gave away 23 possessions last year, good for 19th in the league. Their 12 percent turnover rate tied with the Texans for the worst among playoff teams. Most of the onus on cutting down turnovers falls on the quarterback. Garoppolo was responsible for 18 of the team’s 23 giveaways, including 13 interceptions and five lost fumbles. Better weapons and improved pass blocking should help him some in these areas, but ball security is going to be important for Garoppolo to build on his good 2019 season.
