00:05Doc, if we take a look and head out to the state of California double digit favor here, the San Francisco 49ers taking on the New England Patriots and one of the mass units looks like it's on both sides.
00:14Can we start with the New England Patriots defense here? Looks like they're really banged up at the linebacking position this week.
00:21A good defensive unit, but they are banged up. But, you know, the 49ers are very banged up as well offensively. Yes, Steve was playing. Yes, Kittle is playing, but how effectively and Trent Williams with the toe there.
00:34When that happens, a lot of times, Kittle stays in the block more than going downfield. So there's a lot of issues on both sides. And really, the key one is the Patriots this season have hung their hat, even though they've had some offensive line issues.
00:48I'm running the ball with Ramondre Stevenson, and we know that Javon Hargrave is on IR, who's really one of their best run stoppers for the 49ers. So, you know, ten and a half or whatever the line is, is a lot.
01:02Certainly is. Let me ask you a question about Christian McCaffrey to dock, and maybe this is right up your alley. Christian McCaffrey going to Germany to try to get some plasma injections in that Achilles.
01:11What procedure is he actually trying to get? And also, is there a timeline from actually coming back to the San Francisco 49ers?
01:18Yeah, the plasma injection is a growth factor injection, and the kind in Germany that was developed is still illegal in the United States because it's manipulated tissue, which is why he flew to Germany.
01:31It's illegal in other countries, too, but it just started in Germany, so that's where he went. But what I've been saying since that happened, and now there are reports this morning confirming November, because of the injection this last or recently, he's out an additional four to six weeks before he gets back.
01:49So right off October, sometime in November is the slotted return for Christian McCaffrey at this point in time.
