San Francisco 49ers linebacker Kwon Alexander joined
95.7 The Game on Wednesday and discussed several topics. His team is 3-0 and headed into a big matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night.
Below are a few of the topics Alexander discussed with Damon Bruce, Ray Ratto, and Matt Kolsky.
Which Browns team do you expect to face? The team that went 0-2 at home or the one that beat Baltimore 40-25?
Kwon Alexander: "I don't really know what kind of team [will] come in, but I know we're going to be ready for whatever situation we've got to be ready for."
Do you feel as healthy as you were before your ACL injury?
KA: "I feel way better than I did before the injury. I'm playing way more faster, way more confident in my game than anything. I feel way better."
Did it feel good to get that first hit out of the way and test the knee?
KA: "I don't really worry about my knee. I just go and play, man. Whatever happens, happens. I don't like to think about things like that. I just like to go play the game that I love; just go out there and do it as hard as I can."
What have you learned from teammate Richard Sherman?
KA: "It's amazing to be around a veteran like Sherm, man. I talk to him about everything, especially just playing next to him, playing outside. He be next to me at corner so me and him, we've got a connection. I'm glad that I've got a corner that knows the game and can help me out in different ways and different formations, and things like that. It's great to have him on my team."
KA (later): "When you've got guys that want to win and know football -- he's been on a championship team, a great team, great defenses -- so knowing me, I'm going to ask (questions). I'm going to figure out what he knows and how I can get better at things. He's been helping me a lot with that. He's just an intelligent guy. He's a great leader for our team, and I appreciate everything he's done for me since I've been here."
What do you think of Nick Bosa through three games?
KA: "He's an animal, too. You all really been seeing a little bit. You all haven't seen a lot. He's going to get to the quarterback a lot more. He's going to get a lot more of those sacks. He's a dog, man."
You can listen to the entire conversation with Alexander below. It begins at about the 26-minute mark.

NFL insider states the obvious regarding 49ers' talks with Brandon Aiyuk
ESPN insider Adam Schefter recently shared his insights on the situation surrounding San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during an appearance on the network's "NFL Live" show. Schefter clarified that while Aiyuk would like to remain with the 49ers, his priority is securing a contract that reflects his value, regardless of the team.
