00:00
Let's start with those San Francisco 49ers because at the end of any week you get some
00:08
official confirmations about things that you see on Sunday or in the NFL weekend and it's
00:14
basically all bad news for the 49ers.
00:17
Tests confirming yesterday that Brandon Ayuk has suffered a season-ending knee injury,
00:22
a torn ACL and MCL.
00:24
He is out for the remainder of this year.
00:27
Debo Samuel dealing with an illness in the Super Bowl rematch on Sunday.
00:32
Turns out it's not just a little bit of the sniffles.
00:34
He has pneumonia.
00:35
Debo Samuel has been hospitalized with fluid in his lungs.
00:39
His timeline to return very uncertain at the moment.
00:43
Christian McCaffrey hoping to return but at least not until after the bye week which comes
00:48
up following Sunday night football against the Cowboys in week number nine.
00:53
And just to add on to the laundry list, Scott, George Kittle dealing with a foot sprain.
00:58
He's now considered day-to-day.
01:01
It could not get much worse for San Francisco, a Niners team that is below 500.
01:05
Yeah.
01:06
I mean, any Brock Purdy doubter will now have the true test, right?
01:11
If Brock Purdy can overcome all these injuries and all these star players not being out and
01:16
then be successful, then you have to finally admit doubters that, hey, you know what?
01:20
Brock Purdy is pretty darn good.
01:22
And if he doesn't, it doesn't mean he's bad, but it just doesn't, you know, it doesn't
01:25
get him to that next level of, okay, you know what?
01:28
We got to really, really appreciate and respect Brock Purdy for being a good quarterback.
01:32
So there are a lot of people this off season, Ben, I remember you and I talked about it
01:35
that, you know, we're down a little bit on San Francisco and neither one of us, without
01:39
putting words in your mouth, could quite understand that and come to grips with that.
01:43
But I don't know if they were predicting injuries or not, but maybe, you know, in the NFL after
01:48
two or three years, you know, it's eventually got to come to roost.
01:51
You don't stay healthy that long in the NFL.
01:54
You generally somehow or another just get hit with a bunch of injuries and they're getting
01:58
it.
01:59
So does this mean they can't turn it around?
02:00
I don't know.
02:01
I wouldn't be too encouraged about Christian McCaffrey.
02:03
I mean, whatever's going on with him, you know, this has taken a lot longer than just
02:08
a little bump, little bruise, little whatever.
02:10
I mean, he's going overseas trying to get, you know, things done to help his foot out.
02:15
This might just be one of those years, Ben, for Sam Fran where it's, you know, it's not
02:18
going to happen.
02:19
We'll just reload for next season.
02:21
For sure.
02:22
Scott, the only thing that confused me about San Francisco was the fact they were placed
02:26
in front of Kansas City at a few points in the off season with a shorter price to win
02:30
a Super Bowl.
02:31
And it wasn't exactly rah, rah.
02:33
The boys are back.
02:34
We're all invested.
02:35
There was all the issues with Trent Williams holding out, Brandon Ayuk holding in, looking
02:41
for a new contract.
02:43
Some of just didn't feel like an overly optimistic off season to not expect all of these injuries.
02:48
And you're right.
02:49
I don't really think that Christian McCaffrey was the offensive player of the year last
02:53
year.
02:54
Not demeaning what he means to this organization, but the other injuries on the outside far
02:59
more significant to me because Jordan Mason has done enough in terms of production to
03:04
kind of lessen some of the blow that losing McCaffrey is.
03:08
Let's not forget, Jawan Jennings was ruled out for Sunday, did not even play in that
03:13
game against Kansas City.
03:15
And Scott, if you are a detractor against Brock Purdy, his last three games have not
03:20
been great.
03:21
Multiple interceptions in two of three.
03:24
Three touchdowns without a single touchdown, or three interceptions rather, without a single
03:28
touchdown pass last week against the Chiefs.
03:31
He has thrown multiple interceptions in two of the last three for San Francisco.
03:35
Had three total games prior to this year with multiple interceptions.
03:41
Not great.
03:45
Not good.
03:46
Not good.
