On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 Dave, Jimmy Garoppolo has been said to have practically vanished from the team after he signed the big contract in 2018.

#2 There was talk that Garoppolo ignored the coaching staff after signing the contract. An unnamed member of the 49ers coaching staff said that Garoppolo virtually disappeared and did not contact the team for weeks after signing the big contract in 2018.

#3 Garoppolo is in the last year of his contract and the team wants to deal him do you think the biggest reason why he hasn’t moved onto a new team yet is because of the price tag of the last year of this contract at $24.2 million.

Lance starts and plays well in preseason debut as 49ers take down Packers 28-21

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — It was the first installment of the Tre Lance show in Santa Clara.

Lance played well in two offensive series throwing for one touchdown as the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers 28-21 in the first preseason game of 2022 on Friday evening at Levi’s Stadium.

The enthusiasm for Lance was expected from the 49ers faithful during the team’s first drive with Lance under center. The opening drive went nine plays, 27 yards that resulted in a 38-yard field goal by Robbie Gould. Lance was 2/3 for 11 yards as well as a seven yard scramble on the drive’s opening play.

“Solid,” said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on Lance’s play. “On the first play he made a good scramble. It was nice to come down on that third down play to Danny (Grey). So he did some good things, a good first game. Wished we could’ve kept him out there a little more, but (you) gotta get him out.”

Despite Jimmy Garoppolo still being on the roster, Shanahan has give the keys to Lance to lead his offense in 2022. Lance finished the game 4/5 for 92 yards and one touchdown.

“Trying to get bet better,” said Lance when asked what his goal was for the game. “Having the training camp mind set. Be efficient, take care of the ball and give those guys a chance. The offensive line played well. The young guys did a great job. It’s a lot more fun to win.”

On the flip side, the NFL’s reigning MVP, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers did not play in the team’s first preseason game. Instead backup quarterback Jordan Love started and played all of the first half.

Love connected with wide receiver Romeo Doubs on a 33-yard touchdown reception down the right sideline to give the Packers 7-3 lead. The drive went eight plays, 80 yards in just 3:23.

Green Bay’s lead didn’t last long. On the first play of the second drive. Lance showed off his canon of an arm when he found Danny Grey wide open down the left sideline and Grey raced in for a 76-yard touchdown to put the Niners back on top 10-7.

Marcelino McCrary intercepted Love at the four-yard line and returned it 57 yards to the Packers 39-yard line. On the ensuing drive, backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld only needed one play to find Ray Ray McCloud on post route for a 39-yard touchdown. Sudfeld finished 8/11 for 103 yards and one touchdown as he vies for the backup QB job.

Love threw his second touchdown pass late in the second quarter with a 33-yard pass to Danny Davis to close out the first half at 20-14. It wasn’t a great overall game for Love as he finished 13/24 for 176 yards with two touchdowns and two badly thrown interceptions.

“It could’ve been a better night for everybody,” said Love. “The ball bounced a weird way. The 49ers capitalized on those plays. Obviously, no one wants that to happen and it sucks when it does.”

Sam Womack III had two interceptions to led the relentless 49ers secondary that has gone from the defense’s Achilles heal a season ago to one of its strengths.

“I think the defense as a whole works really well together,” said linebacker Fred Warner. “When the D-line is disrupting, sticking in the back end, that’s when you’re going to create big plays. We have really good players right now and we’re continuing to get better everyday.”

Each team traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Danny Etling, who replaced Love in the second half, threw a 22-yard touchdown to Amari Rodgers. Brock Purdy, who replaced Sudfeld in the fourth quarter, found Tanner Hudson from five yards out with 7:58 remaining.

Tyrion Davis-Price, a third round draft selection this year, led the 49ers in rushing with 10 rushes for 36 yards. Tyler Goodson led the Packers with 12 rushes for 37 yards. Purdy was 3/6 for 36 yards and one touchdown.

Grey led San Francisco in receiving with two catches for 99 yards. BJ Baylor had two catches for 75 yards to pace Green Bay.

UP NEXT: San Francisco takes on the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday 8/20 at 4:00pm at U.S. Bank Stadium.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor: How Deebo and Lance are the NFL’s top one two punch

On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan had Trey Lance throwing decoy practice throws some wildly and some intercepted deliberately to keep any scouts or spies from dissecting Lance’s real throws from his deliberate throw into traffic throws. Leaving them to wonder what’s real and what isn’t the real Lance pass.

#2 It’s been said that the 49ers are a team that isn’t depending heavily on Lance to win games and that having a dominating quarterback isn’t something that will get the 49ers deep in the playoffs. Wasn’t that much of the style in past seasons for Jimmy Garoppolo when he got them in post season?

#3 How much would you go along with the fact that wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Lance are one of the best one two punches in the NFL.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Expect Raiders to use different backs this season

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (28) in camp on Thu Jul 21, 2022 at the Raiders training facility in Henderson NV got some touches last Thu Aug 4, 2022 in the Hall of Fame Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

The Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was designed by former Raider head coach Jon Gruden to be that first second down back and have quarterback Derek Carr throw on third down and open up the pass.

When Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels was using multiple backs to catch passes out of the backfield McDaniels had different backs when he was offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

Your going to see a lot of touches from Jacobs in these next three pre season games. If the Raiders decide to keep him they don’t have to pay him a bunch and if they don’t want to keep him and they think they can get that job done with a lower paycheck I could see Jacobs being traded by the Raiders.

Headline Sports podcast with Michael Roberson: Gallo heads to Dodgers; Dolphins owner suspended until Oct 17th; Broncos Patrick out for season

On Headline Sports with Michael Roberson:

#1 Michael wanted to review with you some of this week’s big baseball deals on Tuesday the New York Yankees sent Joey Gallo to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gallo had not been productive and the Yankees got the itch to send Gallo packing. Gallo was hitting .159 with 25 home runs, 46 RBIs, Gallo did strike out plenty 194 times in 421 at bats.

#2 Gallo was getting booed by the Yankee fans and his ability to move runners over and score had fans riding him at every at bat. Towards the end Gallo was benched. Manager Aaron Boone said he respected Gallo for the way he worked and carried himself and that Boone will be rooting for Gallo from afar.

#3 Speaking of the Yankees Boone said he was excited about obtaining pitchers Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino. It won’t be long that Yankee fans will get a look at Montas who threw for 104 2/3 innings, 109 strikeouts, with 28 walks, and gave up 12 home runs for 3.18 ERA for the A’s.

#4 Turning to football Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has been suspended by the NFL for tampering after trying to contact quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Sean Payton in an attempt to inquire about Brady and Payton’s services. Ross had been suspended through Oct 17th and after an investigation the Dolphins were trying to tank games in 2019 proved to be inconclusive after former head coach Brian Flores refused to throw games so the Dolphins would get a better draft position. Flores later ended up filing a discrimination suit against the Dolphins. Flores was told Ross was mad that he didn’t compromise football games.

#5 Michael talk about the Denver Broncos losing wide receiver Tim Patrick due to a torn ACL in his right right knee putting him out for the season. Patrick in practice on Tuesday caught a pass in front of Essang Bassey and while running up field his knee give out and he fell to the ground with the torn ACL injury.

On the 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 David, Deebo Samuel said he had a lot of pressure to get a deal done with the San Francisco 49ers at the right price. Samuel said that at the end of the day business is business. He had expressed an interest in playing elsewhere signed a three year extension worth $73.5 million.

#2 In what could be explained as a turbulent off season for Deebo he was telling the 49ers basically he was leaving and without an extension he was taking his business elsewhere. That’s when general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan went into panic mode and tried to get something worked out with Samuel.

#3 David next week the 49ers open up their first pre season game on Fri Aug 12th against the Green Bay Packers at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. As noted by Joe Hawkes who does the 49ers Sunday podcasts said that the 49ers will not be using quarterback Trey Lance and the Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers most likely will not see any action that night.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels looks forward to returning to his old town in Canton to play the Hall of Fame game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thu Aug 4, 2022 (file photo from The Spun)

Las Vegas podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that it means a lot to him to return to his old haunt at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium where he played as starting quarterback at Canton McKinley High School where the Raiders will face the Jacksonville Jaguars for the Hall of Fame game on Thu Aug 4h.

#2 McDaniels said it was special to drive down the road where it’s dotted with football helmets towards the stadium and where it was on McDaniels way to get to high school each day, “It was fun I played all my games in this stadium.”

#3Tony, how big of a move is it that the Raiders signed pass rusher Chandler Jones. Jones has not been on the field much for this year’s practices and has missed four straight practice sessions so far.

#4 James Palmer of NFL Media report said that there is no concern that it’s early in the pre season schedule and that Jones wants players to get some reps in before the regular season kicks off.

#5 Also tight end Darren Waller has taken the second straight day of practice off for basically the same reason. Besides giving teammates time to get more reps in no doubt Waller is getting some rest in before this Thursday’s Hall of Fame game?
