Three Things that Could Derail the 49ers This Season

Analyzing three things that could derail the San Francisco 49ers season.

Transcript

00:00 things that I think, that are the only things that I think could derail us. So the first

00:04 one is health. As long as we keep the, our big eight healthy, and I'm going to name you

00:08 our big eight. Brock, McCaffrey, Debo, Ayuk, Kittle, Trent, Warner, and Bosa. To me, those

00:20 are our big eight. Like, as long as we keep those big eight healthy, we'll be in good

00:25 shape. I believe we can scheme around everyone else who might like say a hard rave or an

00:29 Armstead or a Greenlaw or a Ward who might be out. I believe like we could scheme around

00:34 all that. But as long as those big eight are healthy, I think we have as good of a shot

00:39 as anyone.

00:40 Yeah.

00:41 So that's the first one. Number two is, number two and two A are Kyle Shanahan and Steve

00:47 Wilkes. So I'll tell you why I put Steve Wilkes in this. Remember in the Seattle game when

00:53 DK Metcalf beat Ambry Thomas for that touchdown? I was afraid that since it was a deep touchdown

01:01 that Steve Wilkes would go back to his soft zone. And I'm glad he didn't. But then again,

01:05 that's a regular season game. But when the stakes are high, my fear is, let's say Ambry

01:10 Thomas or Traverius Ward or Lenore or whoever, let's say they're playing Philly and A.J.

01:16 Brown goes deep and scores a touchdown. We play great coverage on him, but you know,

01:21 he just made a great play. Is Wilkes going to keep the press coverage going or is he

01:25 going to go back to his old soft zone? So that's one thing.

01:29 So the second thing about Kyle is, let's say Brock makes a turnover worthy play, like he

01:35 throws an interception that's dropped. Are you still going to let him cook or are you

01:39 going to take the ball out of his hands and go run heavy?

01:43 Because like Kyle was letting Jimmy Garoppolo cook in 2019, if you remember.

01:46 I do remember.

01:47 He had the shootout against Juvres in New Orleans and his numbers were great that year.

01:54 He completed like almost 70% of his passes. And then he had that one stinker in the first

01:58 round against the Vikings. And that was that.

02:01 So that's the key right there. Is he going to continue to let Brock cook? Now granted,

02:06 Brock has way more playmakers to work with than Jimmy. I mean, you got CMC, you got a

02:11 prime Debo, you got Aiyuk, you got Kittle.

02:14 So I would hope most certain and Manuel Sanders weren't bad that year. I'm just saying, I

02:20 will believe that.

02:21 And good.

02:22 I one more thing. I still believe that in that Super Bowl, when Jimmy throw over through

02:26 a manual, replace those two with Brock and Brandon Aiyuk and that pass gets completed.

02:32 I would imagine. I would imagine. AK Niner. Great call. Thank you very much. Thank you.

02:36 Have a good one.
