On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 Former San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley did an interview this week on NFL Total Access saying that the competition between quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance will breed success.

#2 Staley spent three seasons on the line protecting Garoppolo from getting hit on the blind side, he was there to see Garoppolo successes and his struggles and says that whoever wins the job at quarterback will work hard to get the number one position.

#3 Staley also said that the Garoppolo is 24-9 including post season and the 49ers are 7-26 without him so despite all the energy behind Lance Garoppolo still brings in that valuable experience.

49ers lose 26-23 to the Seahawks, finish season 6-10

GLENDALE, Ariz — San Francisco’s defense held the Seahawks scoreless for 27 minutes before the Seahawks woke up, scoring three touchdowns in the final period to slip by the 49ers 26-23 on Sunday afternoon at State Farm Stadium to close out the regular season.

Seattle (12-4) sweeps the regular season series from the 49ers. The Seahawks will be the three-seed in the playoffs where they will face the Los Angeles Rams on Wild Card Weekend in Seattle. This will be the third matchup between the two NFC West foes, with both teams splitting the regular season series 1-1.

Entering the fourth quarter, the 49ers held a 9-6 lead over the Seahawks. 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. would extend San Francisco’s lead to 16-6 on a 7-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter.

But Seattle responded behind quarterback Russell Wilson and wide receiver Tyler Lockett big fourth quarter. Wilson avoided a tough 49ers pass rush, finding Lockett for a diving 6-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone capping off a 8-play, 75-yard drive cutting San Francisco’s lead to 16-12. Seattle kicker Jason Myers missed the extra point.

Following a 49ers’ punt on the ensuing drive, Wilson marched the Seahawks 85 yards on 14 plays and scored the go-ahead touchdown on fourth down on Wilson’s 4-yard toss to Lockett. Wilson completed 20-of-36 passing for 181 yards. Lockett finished with 12 catches for 90 yards.

Running back Alex Collins for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:49 left in the game to push Seattle’s lead to 26-16

San Francisco (6-10) falls to 1-7 in home games played at Levi’s Stadium and at State Farm Stadium this season. The 49ers were eliminated from playoff contention a few weeks ago and have been based in Arizona for more than a month because of coronavirus restrictions in Santa Clara county.

C.J. Beathard completed 25-of-37 passing for 273 yards and a touchdown, but his fumble late in the fourth quarter would set up Collins’ touchdown. Tristan Vizcaino, making his first career start, booted his first three NFL field goals after signing with the 49ers earlier this week.

It was Beathard’s second-straight start, who helped the 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals last week.

After rushing for a career-high 183 yards on 22 carries last week, Wilson rushed for 76 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns. With the 49ers trailing 26-16, Wilson caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Beathard to make the score 26-23.

Wilson finishes the season with 600 yards rushing and seven rushing touchdowns on 126 carries, becoming the fourth different player to lead the 49ers in rushing under head coach Kyle Shanahan. He follows Carlos Hyde, Matt Breida and Raheem Mostert.

When you add in his two receiving touchdowns, Wilson has scored a career-high nine touchdowns this year.

 

 

 

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: 49ers will sit Williams, Aiyuk and Pepper for last game against Seattle

Aiyuk will not be playing due to a high ankle injury this Sun Jan 3, 2021 against the Seattle Seahawks at State Farm Stadium in Glendale AZ (photo from mercurynews.com)

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 After a smooth victory against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday the San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan had to take a look at the dreaded injured list for this coming week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks and on it offensive tackle Trent Williams (sprained elbow), wide receiver Brian Aiyuk (high ankle sprain), long snapper Taybor Pepper and kicker Robbie Gould who both are on the Covid-19 list.

#2 For Williams he didn’t miss much of the game against the Cardinals as he was in for 56 snaps and Aiyuk only sat out four plays. Taking those things into consideration that played a big role in Shanahan’s decision to rest Williams and Aiyuk for the final game of the season.

#3 Shanahan said that Aiyuk’s ankle started to swell up and said it hurt and so Shanahan had Aiyuk take an MRI which they discovered it was a high ankle sprain.

#4 Robert Saleh is one of the most sought after defensive coordinators in the NFL to be a head coach. It’s almost all for not that he will be a head coach elsewhere in the NFL. The 49ers in the meantime are considering the following coaches to replace Saleh, DeMeco Ryans (49ers linebackers coach), Gus Bradley (Chargers defensive coordinator), Vic Fangio (Broncos head coach), Dan Quinn (former Atlanta Falcons head coach), and Raheem Morris (Falcons interim head coach).

#5 Joe, the 49ers play their final game against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, the Seahawks have won six straight games winning their last game 20-9 against the Los Angeles Rams. How do you see this match up in Glendale on Sunday between the 49ers and Seahawks.
