The San Francisco 49ers continued their dominant ways in Week 5, beating the Carolina Panthers, 37-15. With a stockpile of injuries facing the team, can the Red & Gold make it back home healthy, or will they get bit by the injury bug again in Week 6?

In this week’s episode, JayMarZZ and Amil Fragoso look at:

  • The Matt Rule tenure and how the 49ers brought not to an end
  • The offensive outlook and how they’ll stack up in Week 6
  • Emmanuel Moseley’s torn ACL: What will his contract extension look like?
  • Injury report: Multiple defensive linemen up in the air for the Atlanta game
  • Previewing and predicting the Niners/Falcons game

Join us every week as Justin “JayMarzz” Marshall and 49ers beat writer Amiliano “Amil” Fragoso break down what they see out in Santa Clara, and share their thoughts on the team throughout the year.
