Does the San Francisco 49ers' season have you down? Al and Zain are right there with you. They do, however, have something fun for you this week.
The duo engages in a conversation with Matt Barrows of The Athletic to discuss his new book, If These Walls Could Talk: Stories from the San Francisco 49ers Sideline, Locker Room, and Press Box. Matt shares some fun anecdotes straight from its pages.
Then the trio discusses the team's current state, what it means for this season, and some of the coaching decisions from the stunning beating at the hands of the Miami Dolphins. Why was Brian Allen playing? Why was Garoppolo playing? What does Kyle Shanahan see in C.J. Beathard?
Al and Zain go on to discuss the following:
- What went wrong against Miami?
- Jimmy Garoppolo's future
- Mike McGlinchey and the O-line
- Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh
- What to expect vs. the Rams
