The 49ers were in good spirits after Coach Kyle Shanahan dismissed the team for the byweek on the heels of their impressive weekend victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

And we're in a good mood here at 49ers Talk 2 as we welcome the incomparable

Annie A-Gar to the podcast. The NFL reporter slash comedian slash social media

influencer joins us to offer her thoughts on Jimmy

Groplo and where the 49ers fit into the NFL landscape at the midway point of

the season. Greg Papa, the radio voice of the 49ers, tells us whether they are now,

dare we say, the team to beat in the NFC? With the addition of Christian McCaffrey and

reinforcements coming back to the squad from injuries in the second half of the year,

things are looking good for the 49ers, even with their four and four record.

Jennifer Lee Chan and I will break down the 49ers running back situation after the NFL

trade deadline deal that sent Jeff Wilson Jr. to the Miami Dolphins for

fifth round draft pick.

All that and more coming up on this episode of 49ers Talk right now.

Welcome to another edition of 49ers Talk on NBC Sports Bay Area.com. Introducing your host,

Matt Mayoko. Yes, this is 49ers Talk. I'm Matt Mayoko. she's Jennifer Lee Chan and as always 49ers talk is brought to you by big

oh tires and it is the by week and I can't decide whether the by week like the old cliche everybody always says the by week came at the perfect time.

I can't actually decide this week if the by week did come at the perfect time. I can't actually decide this week if the by week did come at the perfect time because George Giddle said it didn't. He wanted to keep playing. But yet the 49ers do have a lot of guys coming off injuries. I guess the question is, Jennifer, for you, did the byweek come at the perfect time?

Me personally, it's probably at a good time. It's a little bit of a break. It's USC's homecoming this weekend. So I might be able to yeah swing that one Drake Jackson said he might be there. So yeah, I mean there's that but you know, there's something to be said for a low momentum and that's what they had after that Rams game and I can understand George Kittle's point of view, but I also can see getting those players that there's so many of them that are a little bit nicked up and having a little extra time to get back into the swing of things for week 10 would be a good thing. You know who the by week does come after the perfect time for?

You? Well, I was going to, sure, why not? Why are you saying because it's always always about you, Matt? Why do you always have to make it about yourself?

It comes at the perfect time for Jeff Wilson because I mean sure you know he would have had the by week but he still gets his by week because the

Dolphins by week comes one week later but it's kind of funny he's on the plane ready to go home to Texas.
