What Nolan Might Say
This just in from the forums. LamdaChi49 had one funny response to someone requesting the content of Nolan's radio appearance on 1077 The Bone.
"We did some good things. I'm not going to make any changes. Its all execution. We can draw up all the trick plays but the players have to execute. JTO's QBing is the best I've seen in 4 years here. Its all about winning, we just need to win. Vernon is a great blocker. He's got to get open more before we throw the ball to him. Everyone wants the ball. Gore's getting enough touches, he's just gotta make the most of them. I challenge plays to shift momentum as I see fit. I would describe our defense as a 'Big Sub 3-4-4-3 Hybrid Nickel Prevent Super Defense.' We're in good shape. Just gotta execute at the end of the day. I'm gonna watch some more film and we'll be ready on Sunday. No more questions."
The worst part? It's not too far off from what Nolan says at nearly every press conference.
"I would describe our defense as a 'Big Sub 3-4-4-3 Hybrid Nickel Prevent Super Defense." Ha!

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

Why Ian Rapoport believes Brandon Aiyuk might stay with 49ers
Brandon Aiyuk has been clear about his desire to receive fair compensation from the San Francisco 49ers—or any NFL team, for that matter.
"I'm trying to get what I deserve," Aiyuk said last month on a podcast. "I feel like this season, this season playing football, I figured out who I was as a person and a player — what I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring to the organization."
General manager John Lynch affirms that the 49ers aim to keep Aiyuk around, enduring he remains with the team for the remainder of his career. However, a recent report states there's
