You are Locked-on 49ers, your daily San Francisco 49ers podcast, part of the Locked-on podcast network, your team every day.

Brian Peacock here with you once again on this Tuesday episode of the program,

and we are bringing Nick Winkler back to his Tuesday spot

during the season because it's game week once again. I know it was rough for you guys to not

have a game this weekend for the 49ers. But players well rested. I think hopefully your

fandom is well rested. I think good things happened this week because the 49ers did not lose and some other teams.

So we'll get into that with Nick.

We'll talk about theme and the whole vibe right now is, and really Kyle Shanahan and his press conference before the by week sort of put this in motion.

And he put it in all of the writers' minds.

He put it in the broadcaster's minds.

The people that cover the team.

We got some mailbag questions to dip into as well. If you ever want to get involved in that mailbag, hit me up on Twitter at BD Peacock or email the program, Locked on 49ers at gmail.com.

Are you well rested? Well rested after a bye? Yeah, you know, it's one of those things where it's so weird.

It's been such a horrible season, you know? Like, watching the games at times has been brutal. Like, it's been excruciating, especially having to watch every single snap even in those blowout games. And it's like, but I still missed it. You know, I was still just like something was missing this weekend while I was watching NFL games.

And it's that those biweek blues, man.

Yeah. but I still missed it. You know, I was still just like something was missing this weekend while I was watching NFL games. And it's that those biweek blues, man. Yeah, it's a weird time. And by the way, if anybody hears like clanks and knocks and weird things, it sounds like a war zone and the apocalypse is happening to me in the apartment. I don't think the microphone is picking up everything, but my building is being retrofitted, which is,
