  • 56 | 4-0 49ers! | Winning Ugly! | Dre Greenlaw A Dog! | The Seattle Test!
    Rod and Donte break down the methodical and sometimes ugly win over the Denver Broncos to bring the 49ers to 4-0.
    The Defense is humming. What have they found in Dre Greenlaws return? Can they continue to play at this level without Nick Bosa? Have they found a pass rush answer?
    Brock didn't have the flashy game, but he was the leader they needed. Deebo is exactly who Donte thought he would be. Kittle is MASSIVE right now. And how does losing Kyle Juszczyk change this team?
    And, of course, a look ahead to next weeks big show down with the defending Super Bowl champs, the Seattle Seahawks. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

  • 55 | BROCK PURDY IS COOKING...THE 49ERS ARE BREAKING! | Grit Code Podcast
    Rod and Donte break down a wild win that saw Brock Purdy deliver 4 touchdowns and continue to make his case as one of the best quarterbacks in football right now. But the win came at a cost. Mike Evans, Trent Williams, Dre Greenlaw, Grayson Halton and Deommodore Lenoir all dealt with injuries, while the defense is already trying to figure out life without Nick Bosa.
    How many injuries can this roster actually survive?
    The fellas dive into Brock Purdy’s huge performance and MVP-level start, why the offensive line deserves WAY more credit, and Kyle Shanahan being in his bag as a play caller. George Kittle puts the Superman cape back on when the receiver room gets thin, Deebo Samuel shows he’s still got the speed, and Jordan Watkins may have finally started earning the trust of Purdy and Shanahan.
    Then it’s over to the defense. The interior run defense continues to be a problem, Dre Greenlaw proves once again just how important he is next to Fred Warner, Grayson Halton continues to flash, and the lack of Nick Bosa raises a much bigger question: can this pass rush survive against better quarterbacks without making a move?
    Plus:
    • Brock Purdy’s 4-TD performance and early MVP case
    • The growing 49ers injury crisis
    • Mike Evans’ injury and what it means for the WR room
    • Trent Williams and the challenge of Denver’s defensive front
    • Why Dre Greenlaw might be one of the hardest players on this defense to replace
    • Life without Nick Bosa and whether the 49ers need defensive line help
    • Grayson Halton’s emergence on the interior
    • The continued problems with the 49ers run defense
    • How the secondary held up against Arizona
    • Kyle Shanahan’s play calling and offensive creativity
    • The offensive line quietly dominating through the first few weeks
    • George Kittle taking over when the 49ers needed him most
    • Deebo Samuel hitting the jets again — and whether he’s faster than Renardo Green
    • The Mike Evans-to-Deebo hook-and-lateral
    • Jordan Watkins earning more opportunities
    • Brock Purdy’s growing command of the offense
    • How defenses are going to start adjusting to McCaffrey and Kittle
    • What Denver’s defense can do to challenge the 49ers
    • Why the next two games against Denver and Seattle are about SURVIVAL
    The 49ers are undefeated, but the roster is getting thinner every week. Can Purdy, McCaffrey, Kittle and company keep carrying the load, or is the injury bill finally about to come due?

  • 54 | Brock's MVP Miami Beatdown! | 49ers Receiver Problems | Week 3 Preview!

    The middle run game is iffy. Against superior opponents, this will not stand.

    Rod and Donte break down the beat down and dominating performance that the 49ers had on the league favorites, Rams yesterday in Australia.
