49ers’ defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon helped each other land new jobs in 2023.
SANTA CLARA — There was a time during the preseason when speculation was rampant the Arizona Cardinals were tanking the season under rookie head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Nor will Hargrave be shocked if Arizona gives the 49ers all they can handle Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. With Gannon running the defense as coordinator, Philadelphia finished second in the NFL in total defense at 301.5 yards per game, just behind the 49ers at 300.6. The Eagles’ 70 sacks were No. 1, and 15 more than Kansas City’s second-highest total of 55.
In four years with Pittsburgh and one with Philadelphia before Gannon was hired by coach Nick Sirianni, Hargrave was regarded as a good pocket pusher but had never had more than 6 1/2 sacks. In two seasons with Gannon, he had 7 1/2 and 11.
