Third and Long

My guy Brandon Aiyuk joins me on this week’s episode. He has had a crazy journey to the league from grinding his way through JUCO to taking off at Arizona State. Why did he turn down an offer from Nick Saban and Alabama and decide to stick with ASU? Who does he think are the top Wide Receivers in the NFL and why does he deserve to be in the top 5 conversation? This guy has had an immediate impact since he joined the 49ers so we discuss his relationship with Brock Purdy and what his mindset is when he takes the field? We also break down some plays together and talk about when he first realized he could compete in the NFL at a high level.

My 49er teammate Nick Bosa joins us for this episode of Third and Long! This man is an issue on the field and deservedly took home last year’s Defensive Player of the Year Award. What is it like to sign a massive contract and how do you deal with the pressure associated with it? What is it like to play with his college teammate Chase Young and are Sacks an overrated stat? Nick also talks about some of the guys he thinks are the best Defensive Ends in the league and who he likes to watch. Not everything is about what happens on the field so we discuss Nick’s relationship with his brother and of course his new deal with SKIMS that went viral. To finish this one off we breakdown some of Nick’s recent game footage to hear what was going through his mind when he was out there on the field.

Everybody handles their bye week differently but it truly is the perfect time to just relax and prepare for the second half of the season. It was hard to relax after we made the move for Chase Young! A second overall pick and Defensive Rookie of the year back in 2020, everybody knows how dangerous this man is off the edge. What will his chemistry be like with former Ohio State teammate Nick Bosa and is he the final piece we need to get us to the Super Bowl? The focus has now shifted to this week’s matchup against the Jags and this is the perfect opportunity for us to get back on track.

Week 8 of the season is in the books and after another hard fought game, we unfortunately lost our third in a row. Joe Burrow was really doing his thing as their Offense did a great job of mixing it up against us. Even though I saw some success and had two sacks, I wish we came away with a win. What is the mindset throughout the organization when you are in the midst of a losing streak and how can we look to bounce back? There were a lot of expectations put on this team this year and we truly believe we have what it takes to not only get back into our winning form but to go on a run!

Losing in the NFL can leave a bad taste in your mouth but the only thing we are thinking about now is that next matchup. I think people forget how hard it is to win in the NFL and there is a reason why people say “Any Given Sunday.” Kirk Cousins was cooking and we’ll face more great quarterbacks down the road so we’ll take the lessons learned from this game and bounce back. Joe Burrow and the Bengals have a good team but they better be ready because this is a huge opportunity for us to get back into the win column.

We just came off of a hard fought battle against the Browns and our win streak has officially ended. This game came down to the very last play and truly could have gone either way. No matter what people say about Jake Moody, he is our guy and we are confident that he and the rest of the team will bounce back. This is the type of adversity our team needed to see and I couldn’t be more proud of the effort our guys displayed on both sides of the ball. Tune in to hear my thoughts on the ending of this game, the pregame scuffle and how we can build off of this loss.

Another week down and another big win against the Cowboys for us to go 5-0 on the season. Going into this game, we thought we were going into our toughest matchup of the season but we dominated on both sides of the ball. My guy George Kittle could not stop finding the end zone and I think it’s fair to say that we have two MVP front-runners in Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy. Our Defense was also out there forcing turnovers and there is nothing like having stars like Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner backing you up. The focus has already shifted to next week so let’s keep the streak alive!

The Cardinals fought hard but we came away with another big W to go 4-0 on the season. I love how our Offense keeps wearing down teams and how my guy Christian McCaffrey put on a show with four touchdowns. He wasn’t the only one, as Purdy again was efficient with the ball and Aiyuk just kept finding holes in that Defense for big yardage plays. I felt like our Defense dominated the line of scrimmage but there are definitely a couple things we need to clean up to keep this win streak going. Next week’s matchup is against the Cowboys so you already know the lights will be bright and that will be another tough game. Make sure to tune in to this episode because I break down some of the key plays that led us to this Week 4 victory and talk about who specifically I am looking forward to matching up against in Week 5.

Thursday night games always go crazy but just happy to come out with W and go 3-0 on the season! I’ve said it before but one of our offseason priorities was to get off to a good start this year and we are definitely doing that. A lot happened in this game and my guy Deebo Samuel aka “The YAC King” looked straight up unstoppable. Also, special shoutouts to our rookie Ronnie Bell for scoring his first career TD and to my guy Javon Kinlaw who continues to be a disruptor on the defensive side.
