00:00Niners in a tough spot five and five without their starting quarterback in
00:04Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa on the sidelines. Other injuries abound as well.
00:09It's a banged up football team going to Green Bay taking on a team that myself
00:14and others consider to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender. So Joe how do the
00:19Niners approach this with Brandon Allen likely to take the first? I think the
00:22rushing attack Mike. I mean you look at last week and in the wind they still
00:25allowed 179 yards on the ground through Chicago. 5.3 yards per rush
00:29could be a little bit of Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason, whoever's
00:33capable to run the football. But I think it's early and often run the football
00:37stay in manageable third downs to take the pressure off for Brandon Allen. Put
00:41it this way if they couldn't put up more than 20 points last week with Brock
00:45Purdy in that offense it's going to be very difficult unless they have the
00:48rushing attack. I do like the over in terms of the matchup because I do feel
00:52that Jordan Love and Green Bay playing at home will be able to push tempo and I
00:56believe in their offense. I think they can get some turnovers today but again
01:00it's what we talked about in terms of the green room Donnie. Who's the main
01:03weapon for this offense? Is it Juwan Jennings that stepped up? 10 receptions
01:0791 yards. Devo's non-existent. You're not getting anything from any secondary wide
01:12receiver. Ricky Purcell hasn't come into his own yet so could be Juwan Jennings
01:17or Bust today. And it could be and also you're taking a look at you know
01:19Christian McCaffrey in that 80s range here depending where he's shopping at for
01:22his rushing prop today which means he's gonna have to be the centerpiece of that
01:25offense and rightfully so. Hopefully he can handle that load but also Allen at
01:29quarterback changes a lot of things. Usually your favorite person to go to is
01:33a very trusting tight end which you do have in George Kittle but also keep in
01:36mind he's coming off a hamstring injury with missed last week's game. How healthy
01:40is he? Devo Samuel haven't seen him rise to the occasion yet in both rushing and
01:44receiving so it might be the younger guys you have to lean on which is always
01:47tough heading into Green Bay. This is gonna be a very interesting game because
01:50it feels like the season might be hinging on this game and it's almost
01:53unfair Mike to say where it's hey Brock Purdy's not in there that's not fair
01:56they have next week well next week's Buffalo we're not even sure that we're
01:59actually going to get Brock Purdy next week so the focal point of this game has
02:03to be Christian. You got to give me everything you have today 20 plus carries
02:07a hundred combined yards a minimum of one touchdown to stick around in this
02:11game so I'm looking at it from a Green Bay winning perspective the only way San
02:15Francisco wins like Mike if you tell me right now McCaffrey runs for 62 yards in
02:19this game no shot at them winning he has to have a big game today. The only way is
02:23if you know he caught the ball and ran with it for another hundred if you if
02:27you get there so the combined yardage McCaffrey always an interesting play and
02:31to your point Joe about their schedule at Green Bay today at Buffalo next week
02:37then it's the Bears the Rams at Miami Detroit and at Arizona it's not a
02:42particularly easy schedule for them and they're going to need to rip off big
02:46wins they're late they're getting five and a half today the total is 44 and a
02:50half the Niners rarely see this plus 200 on the money line so but it is with
02:56Brandon Allen under center so you know the only other so I want to flip it to
03:01the other side to talk about the Green Bay conversation we talked about it in
03:04the previous segment we need to see Jordan Love take care of the ball a
03:07little bit better they obviously have really nice weapons there with Jacobs
03:11has been really good at times for them Jaden Reed is a really nice explosive
03:16young player Christian Watson had a huge explosive play last week to help
03:20them secure that victory but they still find themselves in third place they won
03:25five of six games he only lost to Detroit but they are up against a
03:30Vikings team that I think there's a we'll get to the Vikings later there's a
03:34wide disparity in how people view the Vikings but nonetheless they are eight
03:38and two and then you have Detroit the biggest wagon in the NFL Joe
