Where the 49ers should add a star

Kyle and Chris discuss the positions they think the 49ers need to add a star the most. Can they can a top flight receiver? Would it be smarter to get another defensive end or defensive tackle? What about the offensive line? Then Kyle throws out a wild suggestion that would make Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch think about things. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Great Pod

2023-09-15

Love the pod. They’re kind of glass half empty but the bits are gold. I’d say they’re likely overpaid but I’ll wait for the structure before I comment any further. Cause I’m not from anywhere near the Bay I’m big sad I can’t get the cooperage beer they peddle. Good news is I can confidently skip the first 5 minutes of thd pod. I really do love the pod though, definitely in the blue in terms of PFF rating.

Becoming insufferable

The banter between these two is becoming insufferable. They talk to their audience like we’re the worst that talk radio has to offer, (see the recent Taylor Pepper discussion.) Yeah I get it, you’re trying to be funny and do a “bit”, except it’s not funny and never has been. Pick it up and get back to where you were before. You don’t know as much as you think you do either. Remember that.
