Hour 4: The NFL season is just around the corner, and the San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for their highly anticipated game against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. But what's behind the Rams' decision to fly in and out of Melbourne in just 48 hours? This episode of the Murph and Marcus Show delves into the strategy behind the Rams' approach and how it compares to the 49ers' own plans.

The 49ers are set to play their first preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, and the Rams are taking a unique approach to prepare for their game against the 49ers. The Rams will fly into Australia the day before the game, spend a short time on the ground, and then fly out immediately after. This is a different strategy from the 49ers, who will be traveling to Australia eight to nine days early to acclimate to the weather and elevation. The question is, which approach will give the Rams an advantage in week one?

The discussion also touches on the 49ers' frustration with the league's decision to grant the Rams' request to play in Australia, which means they'll be giving up a home game at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers' coach, Kyle Shanahan, has been vocal about his disappointment with the decision. Meanwhile, the Rams are taking a more relaxed approach, skipping out on media tours and other obligations. The conversation also explores the potential impact on the 49ers' home field advantage and the Rams' ability to adjust to the time difference.

Tune in to this episode of the Murph and Marcus Show to hear the full discussion and get the inside scoop on the Rams' strategy and the 49ers' plans for their game in Australia.
