Since the Seahawks swept through Levi’s Stadium and crushed the 49ers’ hopes of winning the NFC West title on Jan. 3, Kyle Shanahan’s team has undergone a series of important changes.

From changing linebackers to adding star left tackle Trent Williams back to the mix, The Standard’s David Lombardi joined Section 415 to discuss how different personnel could alter the 49ers’ approach against the Seahawks in a divisional round showdown that pits Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold against each other again.
