00:00Let's start with those San Francisco 49ers because at the end of any week you get some

00:08official confirmations about things that you see on Sunday or in the NFL weekend and it's

00:14basically all bad news for the 49ers.

00:17Tests confirming yesterday that Brandon Ayuk has suffered a season-ending knee injury,

00:22a torn ACL and MCL.

00:24He is out for the remainder of this year.

00:27Debo Samuel dealing with an illness in the Super Bowl rematch on Sunday.

00:32Turns out it's not just a little bit of the sniffles.

00:34He has pneumonia.

00:35Debo Samuel has been hospitalized with fluid in his lungs.

00:39His timeline to return very uncertain at the moment.

00:43Christian McCaffrey hoping to return but at least not until after the bye week which comes

00:48up following Sunday night football against the Cowboys in week number nine.

00:53And just to add on to the laundry list, Scott, George Kittle dealing with a foot sprain.

00:58He's now considered day-to-day.

01:01It could not get much worse for San Francisco, a Niners team that is below 500.

01:05Yeah.

01:06I mean, any Brock Purdy doubter will now have the true test, right?

01:11If Brock Purdy can overcome all these injuries and all these star players not being out and

01:16then be successful, then you have to finally admit doubters that, hey, you know what?

01:20Brock Purdy is pretty darn good.

01:22And if he doesn't, it doesn't mean he's bad, but it just doesn't, you know, it doesn't

01:25get him to that next level of, okay, you know what?

01:28We got to really, really appreciate and respect Brock Purdy for being a good quarterback.

01:32So there are a lot of people this off season, Ben, I remember you and I talked about it

01:35that, you know, we're down a little bit on San Francisco and neither one of us, without

01:39putting words in your mouth, could quite understand that and come to grips with that.

01:43But I don't know if they were predicting injuries or not, but maybe, you know, in the NFL after

01:48two or three years, you know, it's eventually got to come to roost.

01:51You don't stay healthy that long in the NFL.

01:54You generally somehow or another just get hit with a bunch of injuries and they're getting

01:58it.

01:59So does this mean they can't turn it around?

02:00I don't know.

02:01I wouldn't be too encouraged about Christian McCaffrey.

02:03I mean, whatever's going on with him, you know, this has taken a lot longer than just

02:08a little bump, little bruise, little whatever.

02:10I mean, he's going overseas trying to get, you know, things done to help his foot out.

02:15This might just be one of those years, Ben, for Sam Fran where it's, you know, it's not

02:18going to happen.

02:19We'll just reload for next season.

02:21For sure.

02:22Scott, the only thing that confused me about San Francisco was the fact they were placed

02:26in front of Kansas City at a few points in the off season with a shorter price to win

02:30a Super Bowl.

02:31And it wasn't exactly rah, rah.

02:33The boys are back.

02:34We're all invested.

02:35There was all the issues with Trent Williams holding out, Brandon Ayuk holding in, looking

02:41for a new contract.

02:43Some of just didn't feel like an overly optimistic off season to not expect all of these injuries.

02:48And you're right.

02:49I don't really think that Christian McCaffrey was the offensive player of the year last

02:53year.

02:54Not demeaning what he means to this organization, but the other injuries on the outside far

02:59more significant to me because Jordan Mason has done enough in terms of production to

03:04kind of lessen some of the blow that losing McCaffrey is.

03:08Let's not forget, Jawan Jennings was ruled out for Sunday, did not even play in that

03:13game against Kansas City.

03:15And Scott, if you are a detractor against Brock Purdy, his last three games have not

03:20been great.

03:21Multiple interceptions in two of three.

03:24Three touchdowns without a single touchdown, or three interceptions rather, without a single

03:28touchdown pass last week against the Chiefs.

03:31He has thrown multiple interceptions in two of the last three for San Francisco.

03:35Had three total games prior to this year with multiple interceptions.

03:41Not great.

03:45Not good.

03:46Not good.

03:47Not good.

03:48Not good.

03:49Not good.
