On the 49ers podcast with Augie:

#1 Augie, how important was it for the 49ers to get these two weeks off before they play in the NFC Division game?

#2 The 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy got some valued rest as he did not play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sun Jan 7th at Levi Stadium in the one point loss.

#3 49ers back up quarterback Sam Darnold looked good in the support role throwing going 16-26, 189 yards and one touchdown. Someone that the 49ers can rely on in case of emergency and from what you saw last Sunday does he look like he can step in at a moments notice.

#4 Augie talk about the job that running back Elijah Mitchell 14 carries, 52 yards and a touchdown. Mitchell did a great job covering for running back Christian McCaffrey who sat out Sunday’s game.

#5 Augie, How do you see head coach Kyle Shanahan getting this team ready for the post season. The goal is to get to the Super Bowl and in past years they came close but didn’t seal the deal.

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie in last week’s game against the Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle became the fourth 49ers player to have 1,000 yards or over. Kittle joins Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.

#2 The 49ers close out the regular season and will rest most of their starters. Quarterback Brock Purdy will get two weeks rest until the playoffs and Sam Darnold will get the start today against the Los Angeles Rams.

#3 The Las Vegas Raiders (7-9) close out their 2023-24 season against the Denver Broncos (8-8) today at Allegiant Field in Las Vegas. The Raiders had many ups and downs this season but got things turned around once interim head coach Antonio Pierce took over and since that 63-21 demolishing of the Los Angeles Chargers on Sun Nov 26th, they’ve defeated the Kansas City Chiefs and nearly beat the Indianapolis Colts.

#4 The Raiders finish up the season today against the Broncos at 1:25pm PT. The Broncos have won their last three out of six. The Raiders have won two of their last three games. Charlie talk about some of the things that coach Pierce will be looking for in this last game?

#5 Turning to MLB and the Oakland A’s story that owner John Fisher may not have the $1.1 billion to pay for his share of the construction costs for the new Tropicana Ball Park on the Las Vegas strip. If he were to get a loan from Goldman Sachs with interest that will cost him $1.5 billion after it’s paid back. He was reportedly going from casino to casino talking to casino owners and sharing the new renderings with them and talking about getting a loan toward his share of the construction cost. How difficult does this have to get for the A’s?

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: McCaffrey to rest calf will not play this Sunday vs. Rams; Mitchell to get some reps Sunday

On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Joe as someone wrote that the flight home from Washington didn’t suck after the San Francisco 49ers picked up a win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedEx Field after that tough loss a week earlier to the Baltimore Ravens.

#2 The starters will rest this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Running back Christian McCaffey says he’s glad for the two week break for himself and all the starters before the post season starts in mid January.

#3 McCaffrey also said that his calf injury is pretty minor but head coach Kyle Shanahan said that is one of the reasons why McCaffrey will not play against the Rams this Sunday to get those two weeks rest and not to make the calf much worse.

#4 The 49ers Elijah Mitchell is healthy according to Shanahan. Mitchell has played in 15 of 33 games in the past two years and set the 49ers record for rushing with 963 yards back in 2021. Mitchell has missed the last three games and Shanahan said that when Mitchell is in the line up he’s as good as anybody. Also Shanahan said when McCaffrey was down Mitchell came in and took over against Washington.

#5 The 49ers host the Los Angeles Rams this Sun Jan 7th at Levi Stadium are on a run they’ve won their last three games. They’re last win coming against the New York Giants in an nail biter 26-25 at the Meadowlands. The Rams like the 49ers plan to rest their starters. How do you see this match up on Sunday?

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Augie Mesenburg: 49ers will rest starters vs. Rams Sun Jan 7th at Levi

On the San Francisco 49ers podcast with Augie Mesenburg:

#1 Augie, how big was it for the 49ers to make this comeback against the Washington Commanders on Sunday after losing to the Baltimore Ravens last week on Monday Night Football?

#2 Augie, take a look at quarterback Brock Purdy a vast improvement over two weeks ago when the 49ers dueled with the Baltimore Ravens in a loss at Levi Stadium. In Washington DC the 49ers in the second half of Sunday’s game got two touchdowns that put away the game 27-10.

#3 Purdy threw for 230 yards, going 22-28, and two touchdowns. Was this a matter of the offensive line giving Purdy time to throw or the Washington defense just couldn’t push through to put pressure on Purdy?

#4 With the win and the loss of the Philadelphia Eagles the 49ers clinch for post season. Purdy thanked the Arizona Cardinals who defeated the Eagles that helped the 49ers clinch for a post season spot.

#5 The 49ers conclude the 2023-24 regular season with a game against the Los Angeles Rams. Augie, do you see the 49ers using their bench for most of this game or do you see head coach Kyle Shanahan using his starters for this one?

Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O: 49ers hoping to come back from embarrassing loss to Ravens; Raiders hope to keep it up in Indianapolis today; plus more news

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie when you look at the Baltimore Ravens (12-3) quarterback LaMar Jackson last week he had all the time in the world to throw against the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) pass rush. It almost seemed like he was in command of that game on Monday Night Football and was able to find a receiver when needed.

#2 For 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy no doubt one of his toughest outings since he got injured against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship last season. Purdy got into all sorts of trouble having to run out of the pocket, not time to pass and threw into traffic and got picked off four times.

#3 The Las Vegas Raiders (7-8) simply put it all together all afternoon last week in Kansas City against the Chiefs (9-6). They scored twice in just seven seconds in the second quarter and that pretty much took the wind out of the sails of head coach Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, quarterback Pat Mahomes and Taylor Swift.

#4 On tap today the Raiders need a big win in Indianapolis against the Colts (8-7). The Colts are no slouch winners of five of their last seven games. The Colts did take a tough loss from the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday 29-10. Seeing how these teams match up do you see this being a close game for the Raiders today or will the Colts have home field advantage at Lucas Oil Stadium.

#5 Schools over Stadiums and Oakland A’s fans have announced that they will host a FanFest at Jack London Square on Sat Feb 24th. More details are coming. Last Dive Bar who X’d the message said they will be joined by the following groups at the FanFest, the Oakland 68s, Oakland Ballers, Oakland Roots, Oakland Soul, Oaklandish, Breast Oakland, and the Last Dive Bar. Schools over Stadiums are hoping to attend. The A’s will not host a FanFest and are expected to play their last season at the Oakland Coliseum this season and leave Oakland and play at a alternate location. This FanFest could measure in helping raise funds for Schools over Stadium’s legal fees in their campaign to get an initiative on the Nevada ballot to stop the use of public funds for the A’s Las Vegas Ballpark.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Augie Mesenburg: Jackson was practically a one man show on Monday night

Quarterback LeMar Jackson (8) did it all for the Baltimore Ravens under center he carried, he threw and ran and it was successful against the San Francisco 49ers on Mon Dec 25, 2023 at Levi Stadium (AP News photo)

On the 49ers podcast with Augie Mesenburg:

#1 Augie, how much was this the battle of the two quarterbacks for the Baltimore Ravens LaMar Jackson he had all the time to throw the football and executed and frankly he could have kept going if the time didn’t run out on the game clock. Jackson threw 23-35, 252 yards, and two touchdowns on Monday Night Football Christmas night.

#2 For the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy a long and tough afternoon. Purdy 18-32, 255 yards, and those four big interceptions. Is this kind of game reflective of Purdy under center or was it just an old fashion beating by the best team in the NFL.

#3 The 49ers are hoping to turn it around in their next game against the Washington Commanders in DC. The Commanders have struggled they’ve lost six straight games and their last win came against the New England Patriots 20-17 back on Nov 5th. Commanders have the home field how do you see this one on New Year’s eve?

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, the game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens is a late season late game on Christmas night. It’s the first time since the 1993 season that two first place teams will face off against each other in 16 weeks or later. The Cowboys and Giants met that year and were 11-4.

#2 What are some of the few things your looking forward to in this match up on Christmas night and at Levi Stadium the excitement has to be building up for this thriller.

#3 Talk about the Ravens quarterback LaMar Jackson he has 3,105 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions how important how key has he been for the Ravens?

#4 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has led the 49ers to six consecutive wins, would you say of those six wins his most impressive win came against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial on Dec 3rd.

#5 Joe, it’s time to get your prediction for this Monday’s game at Levi Stadium between the Ravens and 49ers in what could be a preview of the Super Bowl.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor: Kalia Davis out with ankle injury; Defense missing a number of tackles

On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says that has been the main issue. Shanahan said fatigue was the main issue but said it’s hurting the team. It was pointed out in last Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals the 49ers missed 16 tackles, nine players missed a tackle, and the defense missed 14 tackles previous to the Cardinals game and 12 in the Cardinals game.

# 2 Shanahan said losing defensive tackle Kalia Davis for several weeks due to a high ankle sprain put pressure at defensive tackle on the depth chart. David, do you feel that led to a number of missed tackles in the game and why Shanahan is so concerned about this area of the 49ers defense?

#3 The 49ers host the Baltimore Ravens (11-3) on Christmas for Monday Night Football at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. The 49ers (11-3) are coming in on a six game win streak. The Ravens are also on a roll they’ve won four straight coming into this game. Do you see both of these teams evenly matched coming into this one?

On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Joe, the 49ers will try and push their win streak to six games this weekend when they face the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale. They seem like there is nothing that can stop them now especially in their last few games beating Seattle twice in the last three weeks and their big win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Dec 3rd.

#2 49ers cornerback Jason Verett said that he’s not even considering retirement despite having two torn Achilles, two torn ACLs, and a torn Labrum. Varrett said that’s been his journey and his battle.

#3 Defensive end Nick Bosa is known as the elite pass rusher he will move inside to being the man in the middle. This was a move that with the help defensive coordinator Steve Wilks will this move make Bosa more effective on sacks and the pass rush?

#4 Talk about the roles of Chase Young and Randy Gregory as pass rushers at defensive end. Bosa said that having Young and Gregory they’ll get the snaps they deserve.

#5 The Arizona Cardinals have quarterback Kyler Murray back in the line up. How effective do you see Murray being under center since he’s been back and how much of a big test will this be for Murray facing a team like the 49ers at State Farm Stadium this Sunday. Also what your prediction between these two teams?
