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.

On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Joe, Jimmy Garoppolo is in camp his throws look good and the 49ers are still shopping him and if he remains with the team will be a back up for quarterback Trey Lance.

#2 What would you point to as the main reason why the 49ers weren’t able to deal Garoppolo yet at this point.

#3 Deebo Samuel in the off season wanted to leave the 49ers in meeting with the press never gave an answer why he was seeking to go to another team but the answer might be follow the money and it followed him $73.5 million on a three year extension.

#4 Samuel did admit getting a deal done gave him the feeling of pressure if he was going to get a good deal on the other side of it how much pressure was on head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch to get it done?

#5 The 49ers host the Green Bay Packers on Fri Aug 12th in their first pre season game what’s the chances of seeing quarterbacks Lance and the Packers Aaron Rogers getting a few snaps?

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.

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance said there is nothing weird about saying that he can only say nothing but good things about 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who guided and mentored Lance when he first came to the 49ers.

#2 Lance said that Garoppolo could have made it hell for him when he first got the Niners but he didn’t and he helped Lance out with everything.

#3 Garoppolo is not going to be released by the 49ers but the 49ers are still shopping Garoppolo. The Miami Dolphins have showed interest in Garoppolo. The best time is to trade now.

#4 Joe, talk about linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair who had off season surgeries on his left knee and left elbow. Al-Shaair said that his knee surgery recovery is not as bad as recovery from the elbow surgery.

#5 Yes it’s only pre season but it means a lot to a lot of people everywhere when the Green Bay Packers come calling on Fri Aug 12 against the 49ers at Levi Stadium. How much will you see of Aaron Rogers and Trey Lance in that one?

49ers continue prep for 2022 season on Day 4 of training camp

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — In the last practice before they strap on the pads for full contact, the San Francisco 49ers were busy working out the kinks on Day 4 of Training Camp at their training facility just outside Levi’s Stadium.

There was grim news to begin the day from head coach Kyle Shanahan.

Defensive tackle Maurice Hurst tore his biceps in practice yesterday and will require surgery to repair his biceps. Hurst will most likely miss the entire 2022 season.

San Francisco was already thin on their defensive line with Hassan Ridgeway out (mild quad strain) and Arik Armstead who suffered a knee sprain and will be out a few weeks according to Shanahan.

Quarterback Trey Lance led the offense out in team drills. During 11-on-11 team drills, Lance showed off his running ability, eluding the rush when the pocket broke down around him. He showed off his strong arm that has his teammates impressed.

The 49ers running game led by Elijah Mitchell and JaMychal Hasty had impressive runs during the 11-on-11 team drill.

However, once again for a third straight practice, the vaunted defense of the 49ers stole the show to the delight of the 49ers Faithful who were in attendance.

Linebacker Fred Warner was the star of the defense with a knock away on a George Kittle reception attempt. Warner also had an interception off of Lance who was trying to connect with Ray Ray McCloud.

Other defensive players that stood out was Tarvarius Moore who had two interceptions himself, one of Lane and the other off of quarterback Nate Sudfeld.

Neither Sudfeld or Brock Purdy, both who are battling for the backup QB spot, looked impressive with Sudfeld having numerous overthrows and Purdy not making quick decisions.

Shanahan said he’s liked what he has seen from Lance during the first week of training camp. “Yeah I think I said the last time I thought he had a really good day. I was very happy with the throws. There’s something we have to get on the same page with wide outs on and that’s what camp’s for letting it rip.”

The 49ers have Sunday off to get prepared for their first practice with the pads on Monday morning.

NEWS AND NOTES: Defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw participated in team drills but was limited as the coaching staff is being cautious with him. Kinlaw is coming off surgery to repair his ACL he tore last November.

Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey participated in team drills for the first time since training camp began.

San Francisco’s first preseason game is on Friday 8/12 hosting the Green Bay Packers at 5:30pm at Levi’s Stadium.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: It’s pretty much official Lance to be starting quarterback; Teams balking on Garoppolo because of huge contract

On the 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 Joe sources pretty much say that the 49ers starting quarterback will be Trey Lance it’s really been no secret and there has been no takers on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo so will that mean that Garoppolo can participate in practices with the team at some point?

#2 The Seattle Seahawks, New York Giants, Houston Texans, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, and Cleveland Browns but for different reasons any deal fell through.

#3 Head coach Kyle Shanahan was certain that the 49ers will find a trade partner for Garoppolo the hard part of that offering is the remaining year on his contract is $25 million and no team wants to get saddled with that unless the interested team wants to retain some of that contract.

#4 One of the other reasons the Niners want to move Garoppolo is because of Nick Bosa’s contract calls for $33 million and with a guaranteed price of $17 million and they want some cap room.

#5 Joe, the latest on the Deebo Samuel contract talks nothing imminent the 49ers want to get a deal and have Samuel before their first exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sat Aug 20th.

Headline Sports podcast with Bruce MacGowan: A’s after a fire sale could even dive further into obscurity; A look at Giants All Stars Pederson and Rodon and A’s Blackburn; plus much more

Oakland A’s pitcher Paul Blackburn says he looking forward to meeting his American League teammates and Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles for the All Star Game on Tue Jul 19, 2022 (AP News file photo)

On Headline Sports podcast with Bruce MacGowan:

Bruce touches upon the subject that the Oakland A’s are deliberately going into the tank to turn off fans to show the City of Oakland, fans, media and fans why they it won’t work at the Oakland Coliseum and are an organization that won’t go anywhere as long as they have to play in a undesirable location.

Bruce takes a look at the San Francisco Giants All Star players pitcher Carlos Rodon 8-5 ERA 2.66 and Joc Pederson .252 with 35 runs, 17 home runs, and 42 RBIs both who will represent the Giants at the All Star Game.

Also a look at the lone Oakland A’s selection Paul Blackburn who started out the season at 6-2 but absorbed some tough loses due to a lack of run support and finished the first half at 6-5 ERA 3.62.

Bruce MacGowan was a former talk show host on San Francisco radio stations KNBR 680, KGO 810 and KCBS 740 and appears as a guest on Headline Sports podcasts.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: 49ers lacking at offensive linemen; Is Garoppolo all but gone?

On the SF 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, talk about head coach Kyle Shanahan and how he’s drafted in the off season he’s seems like he’s done well in all areas except at offensive lineman.

#2 Since Shanahan and Lynch have taken over the team of their 47 draft picks only seven of them have been linemen there haven’t been that many offensive linemen that have neither been picked up, drafted, or traded for.

#3 Sources at the Houston Texans made it clear that 49er quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will not be joining the team anytime soon as talks between the Garoppolo camp and the Seattle Seahawks have shown some possibilities.

#4 One of the reasons why the Texans are not interested in signing Garoppolo is because they have their sights set on Stanford quarterback David Mills who could be a starter for the Texans someday.

#5 As the 49ers are all but set on making Trey Lance their starting quarterback can you see any possibility for the 49ers keeping Garoppolo or is all but gone?

#1 The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel who is up for an extension is sitting out on field workouts which starts this coming Tue Apr 26. Samuel is looking for a new deal.

#2 Samuel knows it’s a bidding war as NFL wide receivers are at a premium. For example the Raiders signed wide receiver Davante Adams to a five year deal for $140 million.

#3 Samuel has a $50,000 bonus if he shows up for workouts. If he doesn’t he could be fined up to $100,000 for not attending mandatory mini camp.

#4 Tony, the Washington Commanders have denied allegations by the Federal Trade Commission that they were involved in financial impropriety which included, deceptive business practices over a ten year period, withholding ticket revenue from visiting teams, and refundable deposits from fans.

#5 The Commanders also are not cooperating in the FTC investigation. The FTC has over 80 pages of signed affidavits, emails, text messages as evidence against the Commanders.
