The Drive Guys, Kevin “Whitey” Gleason, and producer Jay Johnson were joined by Greg Beacham, Southern California sports reporter for The Associated Press, to discuss the upcoming Rams, 49ers matchup, Shohei Ohtani’s jaw-dropping and historic night, the reality behind “Levi’s South,” and more.

On Friday afternoon, with San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams set to face off for the first time in the 2024 NFL season over the weekend, they discussed the slew of injuries that both sides are dealing with coming into the matchup.

For the Rams, every member of their offensive line has been unavailable at some point already — and we’re not even three games through the regular season! Of course, the 49ers are not without their lengthy list of crucial inactive members, including Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Charvarious Ward.

Other topics discussed include:

  • How much attention the SoCal sports world is paying attention to Shohei Ohtani as he breaks MLB records
  • The reality behind “Levi’s South” and the overwhelming amount of 49ers fans all throughout California
  • How former Niner Ahkello Witherspoon has fit in with the Rams
  • Given he’s from Oakland and went to high school in Las Vegas, The Drive Guys asked Greg’s perspective on the Athletic’s move to Vegas

All that and plenty more great conversation can be heard on Sactown Sports 1140’s YouTube using the link above.
