Welcome to the SF 49ers EXTRApodcast on TheSportsVirus.com!
Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we get talk about the 49ers win over the Broncos which included an incredible first half performance by TE George Kittle.
Bono compared Kittle to great 49ers tight ends in team history: “…Vernon (Davis) became a good receiving tight end. Tremendous speed. I think (Kittle) is a better route runner, a better pass catcher…Brent (Jones) was a terrific athlete who ran well in a very awkward style, so you didn’t know which way he was going. His arms were going one way, his feet were going another way, but he was extremely effective, he knew how to run routes and he was a great pass catcher. If that ball was anywhere close he was going to get it.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we get talk about the 49ers blowout loss in Seattle which dropped San Francisco’s record to 2-10.
Bono talked about WR Dante Pettis and RB Jeff Wilson : “..This time of the year for the rookies, they’re exhausted. What they’re used to mentally and physically their season is over from college…But, because they were injured and they had some rest in kind of the middle part of the season they’re going to be more fresh for the fourth quarter of the season and I would expect good things out of both of them for the rest of the year.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we get talk about LB Reuben Foster getting arrested then released and the loss in Tampa Bay to the Buccaneers.
Bono talked about the effect of the Reuben Foster arrest/release on the rest of the team in Tampa: “..It puts a negative tone into you before you even step on the field. It’s a hard enough league to begin with and then you lose one of your best players.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we get talk about the Monday Night loss to the Giants, the quarterback situation and the Niners inability to close out games.
Bono talked about execution in the clutch moments: “Someone needs to at some point make a big play. On a 3rd down, somebody needs to knock a ball down or get a sack.”

49ers QB CJ Beathard joins us on a regular basis this season and today he chats about his overall performance and the possibility of being a back-up again on Monday Night against the Giants.
CJ talked about coach Kyle Shanahan’s impending starting quarterback decision: “…you want to start and you want to be the guy and play, so obviously I’m hoping that’s the way it goes, but I’ve got to respect his decision whatever it is. If they do go with Nick (Mullens), I’ve got to be the best teammate to Nick that I can be and the best backup I can be.”
Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we get talk about the Thursday night win over the Raiders and get Steve’s thoughts on the QB situation.
Bono can relate to losing a starting spot since it happened to him: …”It’s not easy by any stretch of the imagination. It’s burning inside of you that you want to be the guy in there, but you’re not and you have to do everything that you can to help the guy that’s in there. My personal experience was with getting removed as a starter and Rich Gannon getting the starting spot. Rich and I were close and still are. We were trying to get wins. I had to do everything I can to help him win a game. That’s just the way it is.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we go over the 5 turnovers San Francisco had in its disappointing loss to the Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium.
Plus, our special guest this week is San Francisco Chronicle columnist Ann Killion. She examines the 49ers outlook and what they should do for a backup quarterback the rest of the season.
Killion talked about the depth and talent of the team: … “Yes, they lost (Jimmy) Garoppolo which is a huge blow. There’s no doubt. Not that they would have been contending for the playoffs really this year, but at least he would have gotten an entire year of playing in the system…I think what we’ve seen even before he got injured was that this team isn’t ready. There are holes all over the place. Yes, some of it right now is because of injuries, but also it’s because some of the players they are relying on are either injury-prone or old.”

Every Tuesday during the NFL season we chat with former 49ers QB Steve Bono. Today we discuss injury risk vs. reward for QB CJ Beathard who took 8 QB hits in the loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Bono talked about why quarterbacks are willing to take injury risks when it comes to a QB fighting for a first down: … “I’ve always said that we’re trained as quarterbacks, it’s always 3rd and 10 and you’ve got to get the first down. So, you’re going to do whatever it takes to get the first down, whether it’s running the ball, throwing the ball, throwing it with your left hand. That’s how we’re wired.”
49ers QB CJ Beathard will be back with us next week after the Arizona game. He’s going to be joining us on a regular basis this season.
Two weeks ago, CJ talked about being ready as Jimmy G’s backup: “…you have to prepare as if you are the guy because you’re a play away from being in there and getting all of the game reps…More than anything it’s watching film and staying in the film room. The quarterback position is more mental than anything else. The more film you get and watch on the defense, seeing what they do, when you get on the field it feels a lot better and more comfortable like you’ve seen it before.”
