Episode notes
Weekly QB Naming Tradition
- Matt Barrows and Tim Kawakami continue their weekly tradition of naming the 49ers starting quarterback.
- This week they name Mac Jones starter and discuss Purdy's potential backup role.
Receiver Injuries Hurt Offensive Spacing
- Multiple wide receiver injuries (Parrisal, Cowling, Watkins) have sapped speed and depth for the 49ers' passing game.
- The lack of explosive receivers has had a trickle-down effect on the offense's spacing and playmaking.
Play Purdy If He’s Practically Ready
- If Brock Purdy is close to ready, play him rather than extend Mac Jones unnecessarily.
- Let the player and teammates judge readiness; availability and practice status should guide the decision.
