NFL analyst, insider, and radio host out in the Denver area, Benjamin Allbright, joins the show to discuss the San Francisco 49ers from the perspective of the national media.
Al Sacco and Allbright discuss several topics, including:
- What's the talk around the league surrounding quarterback Nick Mullens? Can he win some games for the 49ers?
- What is quarterback C.J. Beathard's future?
- Is George Kittle developing into one of the top tight ends in the league? How did he last until the fifth round?
- Is it too early to give up on defensive lineman Solomon Thomas?
- Were the 49ers as aggressive with players like Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin as fans have been led to believe?
- What is the consensus around the league regarding the job general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan have done in their first two seasons?
- Jon Gruden's current stint with the Oakland Raiders. What is really happening with the Bay Area's other (for now) NFL franchise?
After the discussion with Allbright, Al and Zain Naqvi dive into all things 49ers.
- Why fans should be excited about Mullens and whether or not the 49ers will give the quarterback an extended look for the remainder of the season.
- The 49ers' interest in Bruce Irvin.
- The need to evaluate young receivers like Dante Pettis and Richie James in the remaining games.
