This week in 49ers talk

The shows spent much of the week focused on the 49ers' injury concerns heading into their Melbourne opener against the Rams. Nick Bosa's lack of ramp-up time and Christian McCaffrey's workload came up repeatedly, along with questions about George Kittle's availability. The talk also touched on how the 49ers' difficult offseason puts them in a vulnerable spot against a Rams team that's had time to prepare, with some hosts projecting the 49ers to win around ten games this season.
