San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will depend on tight end George Kittle on offense as Deebo Samuel is out with broken foot and Brandon Aiyuk left practice with injury (forbes.com file photo)

On the 49ers podcast with Joe:

#1 Joe can the 49ers score this season how much do you see tight end George Kittle being the center piece of their offense?

#2 With receivers Emmanuel Sanders gone, Deebo Samuel is recovering from a broken foot, and Brandon Aiyuk left practice with an hamstring pull and with the regular season starting September 13th how much time will they be able to get the kind of offense they had like last season.

#3 The 49ers were the NFL’s most improved team last season their defense adjusted value went over average jumping from being number 30 in 2018 to number five in 2019.

#4 The 49ers defense finished number one against the pass and they kept quarterbacks running all day in the pocket teams had to try and counter the 49ers defensive rushing all game long.

#5 The 49ers really need to depend on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as the 49ers offense was fifth in time of possession last season when they got out to leads of ten or more points. Seeing some of the injuries they have right now do they have a concern in that department?
