Retired 49ers star Joe Staley explains why he stopped doing The Joe Show

Maybe, one day, the San Francisco 49ers will release The Joe Show Unfiltered. Apparently, some creative differences led recently-retired offensive tackle Joe Staley to stop starring in the fan-favorite online series that featured him interviewing teammates. Maybe it was just too much Joe for The Faithful to handle.

Fans know that The Joe Show took a hiatus before returning in 2018. Staley joined KNBR on Wednesday and explained the reason behind that first break. The former tackle shared that when he first started doing the show, he wasn't as sarcastic, and the show was vastly different from its more recent style.

"I was young, and I said yes to every single thing that people asked me, at that point," Staley admitted to Greg Papa and John Lund. "I started it, and then I just kind of started having fun with it. ... And then it got to the point where I kind of stopped doing it because we were losing. And then I just didn't think the tone was right to kind of show us joking around when all this losing was going on."

Then the show briefly returned in 2018 but didn't last too long. In fact, it lasted just two episodes (episode one and episode two, for your viewing pleasure) before Staley gave it up. He explained why it ended yet again.

"I got kind of upset because they would cut out all the, like, sarcastic humor," Staley shared. "I don't know if they thought it was too edgy for me to be mean or whatever. They cut out a lot of the stuff that I thought was funny, and I was like, 'If you're going to do that, then I don't really want to do it.'"

You can listen to the entire conversation with Staley below.

Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the NFC West after signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently explained his decision to join the division rival after a one-season stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. "Obviously good players all around," Garoppolo said, per ESPN. "That's a big part of it. Talking to [head coach] Sean [McVay] on the phone, him just running me through offense and things that he had in mind, it really became appetizing. And I know a lot of the coaches here, so a lot of familiarity in that aspect. And then having played against the Rams a lot in my career, I've seen a lot of good things

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft

By David Bonilla

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek

Shanahan opted for an internal candidate, valuing Sorensen's familiarity with the staff and the defensive system.
