On the SF 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 It just seemed no matter how hard the New York Giants tried to blitz San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and the 49ers offensive line Purdy was able to find a receiver on Thursday Night Football.

#2 Running back Christian McCaffrey has scored a touchdown in 12 straight games McCaffrey is finding holes and has been getting blocks and has been effective in the red zone.

#3 Joe, talk about wide receiver Deebo Samuel who caught two Purdy passes for touchdowns. How effective has Samuel been at wide receiver these first three games?

#4 The win on Thursday night was the 49ers 13th straight regular season game, there seems like there hasn’t been any effective opponent with the exception of last year’s Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game that the 49ers have faced.

#5 The 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals on Sun Oct 1st at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. Joe talk about how you see Purdy throwing against the Cardinals defense in this one?

On the 49rs podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s surgeon said that Purdy is a “exceptional individual.” Dr. Keith Meister said that his surgery on Purdy is the best one he’s ever done. Purdy came out with flying colors. Meister has worked on baseball pitchers as well.

#2 Who’d a thunk Purdy came back from right elbow surgery and threw for a 30-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on opening day. Joe watching him you wouldn’t have even known he had the surgery.

#3 Defensive end Nick Bosa said after holding out for 43 days and getting game ready in less than a week that he felt sore but he felt really good and it was about getting some practices and getting adjusted.

#4 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk received his first NFC Offensive Player of the Week Award and was asked if anything came with that beyond recognition. Aiyuk said asking 49ers media relations department’s Peter Volmut if he gets something for that.

#5 49ers are in the Southland to battle the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. The Rams won their opener on Sun Sep 10th against the Seattle Seahawks 30-13 in Seattle. Rams quarterback Matt Stafford threw for 334 yards, 24-38 and no touchdowns and no interceptions. How do you see the Niners matching up with the Rams on Sunday?

On the 49es podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 San Francisco 49ers (14-4) quarterback Brock Purdy had himself a playoff on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks (9-9) throwing four touchdowns going 18-30 for a whopping 332 yards and three touchdowns for a 41-23 win does Purdy just continue to surprise and amaze?

#2 Joe, after all you have seen with Purdy in his rookie year and being the last pick of the draft people are still waiting for him to have that first rough game but that hasn’t happened yet to the joy of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.

#3 Joe after kickoff in the first quarter it really looked like an 11 on 11 ball game as the Seahawks and 49ers played to a one point Seattle lead 17-16 after that first half. After seeing that did you think this was going to be a battle for the 49ers once the second half started?

#4 Joe, talk about the 49ers defense in the third quarter shutting out the Seahawks and holding the Seattle to just six points in the fourth quarter.

#5 Joe talk about next week’s game at Levi Stadium how important is it to have homefield and how you see the 49ers chances of advancing to the Championship?

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Nick Bosa nursed his injured hamstring and missed practice and is questionable for today’s game at Levi Stadium.

#2 Receiver Deebo Samuel was trying to recover from his deep thigh bruise he did play against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday what are his chances for today?

#3 Quarterback Brock Purdy brought his A game against the Dolphins and it was good enough for a 49ers win against one of the toughest teams in the NFL. Purdy came in with swagger was pumped up on good plays for his future do you see him being a team leader and a winner?

#4 Joe, Brock looks well prepared and with Bosa in the line up today how do you see the 49ers going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-6) without them?

#5 The Bucs quarterback Tom Brady and the offense did not score in eight series and scored twice in the next three series enough to defeat the New Orleans Saints. Which team are the Buccaneers the team that struggled to get on the scoreboard or the team that can get things done under pressure?

#2 Joe with Arik Armstead and Javon Kinlaw both remain out at defensive tackle and the Niners are looking McGill to fill the bill.

#3 McGill has played for 21 snaps which is the most for this season. The coaching staff are happy with what they’ve seen from him. McGill has two tackles a quarterback hit and eight years experience coming into today’s game against the Saints.

Verrett had been out of action since Sep 2021 he was scheduled to return for his first game this Sun Nov 13, 2022 until he tore his Achilles tendon in practice on Wed Nov 9, 2022 at the 49ers practice facility in Santa Clara (AP News file photo)

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, I guess San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said it best on Wednesday after cornerback Jason Verrett on his Achilles tendon injury saying “It kind of sucks your soul out a little bit.”

#2 Joe, it was practice and there are different drills and different plays Verrett was working on with Verrett was trying to get into the line up and get ready for Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Kyle Shanahan broke the news to the team on the practice field you couldn’t hear a pin drop.

#3 Had Verrett made a comeback this Sunday it would have been his first game back since his knee injury in September 2021. Now with the Achilles tendon injury suffered this past Wednesday Verrett won’t be back until November 2023. He’s tried many times to come back but had injuries which required long recoveries.

#4 The 49ers will have to regroup as a team after the Verrett injury and hope that his absence won’t have an impact on the team’s morale going into this Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

#5 Joe, the Chargers have been playing some good football and have won four of their last five games. Their last win came against the Atlanta Falcons in a narrow 20-17 victory in Atlanta. Please size this one up as the Chargers and 49ers duel at Levi Stadium for Sunday Night Football with a 5:20pm kick off.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: Garoppolo working to be effective in areas with new QB coach Griese; plus more

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has got himself a person coach Brian Griese a former NFL quarterback to help Garoppolo improve some of the weaknesses like his accuracy on deep passes.

#2 Garoppolo said Griese knew how to say the right things and piss off Garoppolo at times which was constructive criticism.

#3 In his nine year career this is the first time that Garoppolo has had a coach like Griese or anyone like Griese but seeing Garoppolo over the years how necessary is it that Garoppolo gets a personal coach now?

#4 Joe, one other fun fact the 49ers have had five quarterback coaches and Griese is the first 49ers quarterback coach to be hired since former 49er quarterback Matt Cavanugh was a quarterback’s coach back in 1996.

#5 49ers are coming off their last loss to the Kansas City Chiefs by a wide margin. The Los Angeles Rams have lost two of their last three games and have a long record to losing to the 49ers. With the game in the Southland today and a heavy 49ers fans presence will this be another 49ers win or will the Rams be able to establish home field advantage regardless of the 49ers crowd?

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: Bosa could haunt Mayfield again this time in Carolina Sunday

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, the last time the San Francisco 49ers Nick Bosa faced quarterback Baker Mayfield was in 2019 when he was with the Cleveland Browns and gave him a time he would never forget with five quarterback hits, two sacks, Bosa also forced Mayfield to fumble resulting in a recovery.

#2 Now in a Carolina Panthers uniform Mayfield could once again feel Bosa’s breath on his neck when scrambling to get rid of the ball. Joe is this Panther’s offensive line better than the one that tried to protect Mayfield when he was in Cleveland.

#3 Joe after four weeks of football Mayfield is now scrambling again of the top ten teams that have seen quarterback sacks surmount the Panthers have seen Mayfield sacked 11 times already in this short month of the season tying him with 8.6 sack percentage for the eighth highest.

#4 On Bosa’s side of the coin he leads the NFL going into week 5 with six sacks already and he’s getting a good read on the opposing offensive line and able to get to the quarterback. He was good in 2019 and he looks like he hasn’t lost anything off getting to sack quarterback some three years later.

#5 Niners and Panthers kick off at 1:05pm talk about how you see both teams matching up on both sides of the football this afternoon?
