[Music] welcome to your daily 49ers update I'm Rob stats Guerrera here is what's happening we all sit and wait to see if Christian mcaffrey is going to play against the Vikings on Sunday Kyle Shanahan said that mcaffrey is not a candidate to go on IR so Christian are you going to play this week my mentality is I'm playing this week that's that's where I'm at that's how I am every week you know I'm not lying I think as soon as a player says you know maybe I'll play maybe I won't that that's not a good mentality to go into a week with you know when you're kind of on the on the fence so for me I'm I'm ready to go is artificial turf any issue with you yeah if you can't run on Turf you can't run on the field can't run on grass can't run on Turf I think if you can go you can go it's completely understandable that he wants to be out there on the field but I think the 49ers have to protect him from himself maybe sit him out this week on a short week he can come back week three against the Rams obviously a much more important game because it's inside the division as for the rest of the injury report Christian mcaffrey did participate in practice yesterday so that's a good sign Aron Banks Joan Jennings and talanoa huanga also participated they were also limited yor gr Matos and D Winters did not practice now other than Christian McCaffrey's Health we thought that all was well with the 49ers but take a listen to Nick Bosa yesterday we're going to have to be better in our our techniques we kind of got away with some things last week so uh so yeah we have to hone in and not not Pat ourselves on the back it's one game and um we don't know how good we are yet and we don't know how good other teams are so we just have to keep getting better it's nice to see one of the 49ers captains keeping a levelhead not getting too excited after a week one win remember last year they admitted they sort of started to feel themselves after that Cowboys win and then they went on to lose the next three hopefully they're a little more levelheaded this season one more for you before we go Brandon auk came back after the hold out clearly wasn't himself and he also wasn't too eager to watch his film I think after the game I didn't I I didn't watch the film until this morning uh I was a little bit scared to watch it but not as bad as I thought you were scared to watch it I was scared to watch it what you did it just not feel right at uh uh-oh have you ever felt like that before for game that you were scared was that because of the the endone play Brandon uh partly yeah partly the ball was in the right spot though yeah it was a d hopefully Brandon iuk looks more like the Brandon iuk we've come to know and love in week two in Minnesota we always give you one thing to read one thing to watch one thing you might have missed one thing to read on this Thursday Tim kaak kami's final column in the athletic apparently he is leaving the company kawakami tweeted I'm not changing up what I do just changing companies we'll announce in a few days but I want to say that starting at the Athletics SF was the best job I ever had working with most of the best people I will ever know if you want to read the column the link is in the description of this episode one thing to watch normally we make you click the link we're just going to play it right now why are we wearing the helm today um Iowa lost to Iowa state was tough at home hate to see it uh but unfortunately the better Iowa team won that day you guys had a big lead in the game where you feeling confident early on I was yes unfortunately but that's when you usually lose when you're confident how quickly did Brock reach out to you oh this is a small helmet size um pretty quickly yeah he texted me the score instantly I said Thank You Brock you ruined my whole weekend if I had won what would Brock had to do today the exact same thing as me right now is that his old helmet yeah smells like it thanks Brock Brock py getting a little Revenge after having to wear the Iowa mascot head at a press conference last year one thing you may have missed congratulations Jake Moody your NFC special teams player of the week six field goals and two extra points in one game we'll do that for you first time Moody had ever had to kick more than three field goals in a game in his career that's a wrap on today's 49ers and five please rate review and follow the gold standard podcast Network like And subscribe to the YouTube channel as well click the Bell so you get notified every single time we go live which is every single weekday and of course after every single 49ers game enjoy your Thursday everybody I'm Rob stats Guerrera we'll talk later today [Music] n [Music]
