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?
Will the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce be ready and feeling better of his hyperextended knee for Thursday Night Football on Sep 7th against the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City (AP file photo)
On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica:
#1 Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hyperextended knee in practice on Tuesday. Kelce’s ACL is in alright. The Chiefs reported that Kelce has inflammation in his knee and went under tests earlier today. Based on the results will determine if Kelce will be in the line up for this Thursday Night Football against the Detroit Lions.
#2 New England Patriots corner Jack Jones caught a break as gun charges were dropped against him as long as he served one year pre trial probation and does 48 hours of community service. Jones was arrested on Jun 16th at Logan Airport in Boston after screeners found a Glock box with two guns and ammunition inside a bag with Jones name on it.
#3 The Las Vegas Raiders Chandler Jones was upset that he couldn’t workout in the Raiders team practice facility and had to use a local gym over the Labor Day weekend. Jones said that he didn’t want to play for the Raiders and referenced head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler in a Instagram post that has since been deleted by Jones.
#4 Four days before the 2021 season the Buffalo Bills TJ Watt was holding out and signed for $112 million on a four year extension. He got two sacks and a tackle for a loss and had five quarterback hits. That’s why Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is preparing his team in the event that the San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa signs just before Sunday’s game in Pittsburgh. Tomlin said he wants to get his offensive line ready to protect quarterback Kenny Pickett.
#5 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says that quarterback Dak Prescott will be a Cowboy for a longtime. The catch is that to sign Prescott would eat into his salary cap. In 2024 Prescott is expected to make $29 million and has a $5 million bonus and is in the third year of his four deal. “There’s never a time where it goes away because you’ve got to make the entire thing fit.” Jones told 105.3 FM The Fan in order to make the salary fit.
