On the 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 The San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy went 19-29, 220 yards, and threw for two touchdowns. Dave some thought Purdy’s season last year was a fluke and he after his elbow surgery even some doubted he would be the same. Purdy proved his point on Sunday with that landslide 30-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

#2 David, talk about 49ers defensive end Drake Jackson getting five sacks on Steeler quarterback Kenny Pickett. Do you see him being a force on the pass rush and will he get a bigger role on putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

#3 Pass rusher Nick Bosa after a few days signing his new deal with San Francisco got a tackle. How ready did he look and with the job Jackson did how do you see Bosa and Jackson working the pass rush?
