After a one-week hiatus due to technical malfunctions we are back this week with our third set of videos in which we change up our format a bit, going from discussing a couple of topics for a few minutes to discussing more topics but spending less time on each. This week we talk about:
Colin Kaepernick.
The offensive (get it?) line.
Coaching.
Trent Baalke.
Jed York.
And as always at the end of that video there is our prediction for this week's game in New York against the Giants on Sunday Night Football.
On their first attempt to pick against the spread last time out AJ ended with a 12-3 record while Diego's risk-taking approach netted him a 10-5 record. They're back at it with all of their picks for week five.
As always we look forward to your feedback whether it is a comment to this post or on our youtube page. We also invite you to:
Thanks guys, I wouldn't let myself believe this was a train wreck waiting to happen. After last season I knew Kap could never be a pocket passer or scan the field. I believed 6 weeks could transform him. I knew he showed no instincts that good or average qb's possess. We need football men at the top. I still believe Dr. York makes all the financial decisions, and his motto has always been cheap is best.
Liked It. Keep summarizing the video into bullet points in print, hooked me. Wanted to comment brifly on OL. Poor play is the cause of Baalke mistakes and bad decision by JT. Two years ago, Boone was holding out for a new contract. Iupati was going to be free agent before him and Boone was hearing MU was going to be making huge money in FA. Boone wanted to hit the bank before MU, he didn't like that MU was making considerly more while MU was still on his rookie contract. Baalke knew he was not going to pay MU the market value, he never does. He extends a player contract like Staley and Davis or the player walks. My point is this, we had leverage on Boone when he wanted to renogtiate his contract. We knew if we didn't extend Boone we are losing two OG's after this year. Two years ago we should have used our leverage to sign Boone long term for dollars signaficantly less than Iupati got this year. Instead we gave him a raise and also guaranteed we wouldn't franchise Boone after this year. Why is this important? Boone is the second best tackle on this team. He should be playing RT, but he won't because RT makes more $ than an OG. Niners don't want Boone making RT money = OL is Crap.

49ers LB Fred Warner says his goals remain set to the 'highest standard'

Fred Warner was overwhelmed by over 200 text messages and calls from friends and colleagues on Wednesday when news broke that the San Francisco 49ers were signing him to a massive five-year extension, making him the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL. The newfound riches won't change his attitude, though. Instead, Warner will continue working to earn the respect of his peers and do whatever he can to contribute to the team goal of winning a championship.
"My goals and aspirations are always going to be set to the highest standard, higher than anybody else can put on me," Warner told reporters on Thursday. "And that holds true to the season, even before this contract was set and done. My (personal) goals and my goals for this team, they don't change. So that's what's exciting,
Frelund: Return of these two star players set up 49ers for playoff return

Earlier this week, on a Game Theory segment, Cynthia Frelund gave her argument for why the San Francisco 49ers will make the playoffs in 2021 after missing out in 2020.
Frelund attributed their recent Super Bowl appearance as a factor in her decision as well as the multitude of injuries that affected the team last season.
"They were in the Super Bowl just like five minutes ago and they had a whole bunch of injuries, but they get all those players back."
Looking at the offensive side of the ball, Frelund highlighted star tight end George Kittle, who, according to Next Gen Stats, has averaged 8.0 yards after the catch per reception since 2018, which is the highest in the NFL given a minimum of 25 receptions.
In addition to Kittle,
