Welcome to the show. A lot to get to today for a week in which the 49ers play a game that they better win, but not one of those must win games for everyone's kind of on the edge of their seats.

The Christian McCaffrey news, written by Eric Branch,

you had a very interesting report about how long it might be

until Christian McCaffrey comes back.

That's a threat to the 49ers.

But the bigger threat to the 49ers surviving and thriving is something else going on.

It's the other thing actually that Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote

about that doesn't get nearly as much

attention as Christian McCaffrey, but to me it's a bigger threat to this team surviving the

absence of Christian McCaffrey. The McCaffrey news is not a surprise. Before I get to that, though, I do want to tell you

that this show is sponsored by.

Some great people running a great restaurant,

Pesto, Mexican, artisan kitchen.

If you're going to the Nider game this week,

they got two locations at Levi Stadium.

They also have locations at Santa Clara and Concord,

So Cal, and Orange County.

The Adler Brothers are 49ers. Imagine being the Adler Brothers are 49 or 15.

Imagine being the Adler Brothers.

You create a restaurant.

You've got nine locations.

You're a wild success.
