Frank talks about San Francisco.
I mean, let’s think about this for a second.
If that’s going to be the other team, uh, in the NFC West that they have to contend with.
Auk’s gone.
Right.
I, I almost wonder if they have to be buyers.
Now, at this point in this market, uh, Debo Samuel, he’s out of the hospital with pneumonia, but again, you’re like, it’s not great.
Yeah, it’s not great.
He was in, with pneumonia.
Uh, you got the, the foot sprain for George Kittle?
Yeah, I, you know mccaffrey is supposed to, we don’t know what mccaffrey.
Yeah, we don’t know what mccaffrey’s gonna be like, oh, he’s gonna be back.
We’re expecting Christian mccaffrey, one of the 10 best running backs of all time to get the lineup.
Maybe.
Like, what’s he gonna look like?
Do you know what he’s gonna look like, Frank?
I don’t know what he’s gonna look like when he gets back on the field, he’ll have the pua, the cool hair.
Maybe that, maybe that we haven’t seen Chris mccaffrey’s off of Germany or something for the last they play the, the, the Cowboys, right?
The 49ers do and both those teams need this game.
That’s a loser leaves town.
Yeah, it really is.
It’s a rough, rough loss.
This is where Purdy, I think if, if the niners are and, and remember Nick boast it too also.
There’s injury concern there.
So, um, this is that game where I think really for, for either Dallas, I mean, Dak Prescott or, or Brock Purdy, but really for Brock Purdy, it’s like this is it, this is your moment, man.
Like this is really your moment because I can tell you even though Frank have we’ve had this conversation before about, well, he’s gonna get paid and you know, he’s done everything he can do and now now people are picking apart his ability to throw against man coverage.
Like the, the data looks really bad on him against man coverage.
And when you talk again, when you talk to people around the league, there’s still this feeling like are they really gonna pay that guy that much, much money?
Like seriously, this is his moment right now and, and I would say after that Thursday night game, it is ratcheted up for him because the Rams are back up and running.
Well, isn’t this his opportunity to eliminate the Yeah, but like if he comes out and play, if they don’t even have to win the games, if he comes out and just plays electric football, then all of a sudden the Yeah, but he doesn’t do this like that, I mean, that’s fair.
Maybe, maybe the average for every game is a referendum for him.
He’s one of those guys can’t get away from it.
