Welcome to the SF 49ers EXTRApodcast on TheSportsVirus.com!
Every week former 49ers QB Steve Bono analyzes the Niners game. This week we chat about the loss to the Eagles which featured critical mistakes by QB Nick Mullens. Still, Steve feels SF should give Jimmy Garoppolo another week to heal and start Mullens over CJ Beathard who almost led the team to a late-game comeback win on Sunday night: “If it’s me I go with Nick, but I would have to tell him if you struggle or we struggle I may go to CJ. I don’t want to put that pressure on him but he’s got to understand that if we’re struggling offensively that as a head coach I need to make that change to see if we can create a spark. I think if you pull Nick and not start him right now then you’ve crushed him.”

San Francisco has won two games in a row after a decisive 36-9 win in New Jersey against the Giants. Former Niners QB Steve Bono was impressed with Nick Mullens who threw for 343 yards on Sunday: “The footwork, the touch and the anticipation were really good in the second half of the game.”

The Niners were decimated by injuries during their week 2 win at the New York Jets. How does the team still succeed with a whole new set of players? Our weekly analyst Steve Bono tackles that question and has some advice for Jimmy G. if he plays with his bad ankle on Sunday on the same Met Life Stadium turf against the Giants: “I would go with basketball shoes from my experience. It worked for me and I know it would work for him as far as not grabbing as much.”
