On the 49ers podcast with Joe, the 49ers knew what was coming concerning the Los Angeles Rams plays, alignment, and motions in the backfield which guided them to throw a shutout on Monday night. The Rams offense struggled with ten first downs, 185 yards, and head coach Jeff Fisher just couldn’t get quarterback Case Keenum to even move the ball anywhere close to the end zone.

Will the 49ers be able to get a read on their next opponent the Carolina Panthers. Their defense will be facing a very potent Panthers quarterback in Cam Newton an expert in keeping the ball and a quarterback who led the Panthers to the Super Bowl last season. Also the Panthers are ready for the pass rush so knowing the plays and a blitz package on Newton will be a true test for this first regular season road trip this Sunday for San Francisco.
