49ers hope safety Talanoa Hufanga can reach back for the playmaking ability he flashed early in the season for the NFL’s top-ranked defense.
SANTA CLARA — Dre Greenlaw understands being self-critical is a big part of what has helped Talanoa Hufanga ascend to the top of his profession in just his second season.
“After every game, he’s worried about whether he’s going to get cut or not,” Greenlaw said Wednesday. “I’m like, ‘Bro, you just balled out. Relax.’ ” For all the accolades, Hufanga burst out of the gate with some highlight-reel performances and has been less effective over the second half of the season, although coach Kyle Shanahan isn’t complaining.
Of primary importance against Dallas will be defending Dalton Schultz, a Stanford product who in a 31-14 win over Tampa Bay became the first tight end in franchise history to catch two touchdown passes in a postseason game.
