Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

I said it last week.

Does Kyle Chanahan just scream into a pillow every single night?

Who's out now?

Who's injured now?

They're all injured.

They're up in the box.

Even when they're back, Kittle left.

They're being on for weeks.

Doesn't have a catch. And what he does is he's like're being on for weeks, doesn't have a catch.

And what he does is he's like, I got McCaffrey. I have a player of mass destruction, and I guess I'm just going to have to ride. I feel like there was a talk between Kyle and Christian, we're like, Christian, you just got to be our guy. He's going to have 300 carries this year. He's going to have well over 100 catches. He is doing everything for this team because you're so focused on the defensive injuries.

We're not talking about Iyuk and Jennings who's been banged up and Debo who's in another team and Kendrick Boren. It's like, and then you think, oh, kiddo will come back. He'll help us. No catches, none. It's just McCaffrey. And it's just The fact that this team is five and two, you know, I'm always loath to talk about awards this early in the year.

Like, has there been a better coach this year than Kyle Shanahan?

He hasn't had a starting quarterback for most of the year.

He's lost his receivers.

He's lost his two best defensive players.

And he's not 500 and hanging on. They're front running. They're

five and two. They beat the Rams. The Rams are great. So, like, I'm very impressed with the Niners.

I dare I say, I'm proud of the Niners, and I know they've been through injury seasons before.

Eventually, you just say, screw it, I'm frustrated, I'm tuning out. I guess it's not our year.
