Episode Notes

Can the injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers survive a wild card showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles? Brian Peacock and Eric Crocker break down the massive challenge facing Kyle Shanahan’s squad as they head to Philly, with key linebackers like Fred Warner and Tatum Bethune on IR and veteran Eric Kendricks possibly forced into a starting role. The discussion zeroes in on the mounting injuries across the linebacker corps and defense, and whether depth pieces like Garrett Wallow can step up.

The episode explores what it will take for Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and potentially returning weapons like Trent Williams and Ricky Pearsall to outscore the Eagles, especially with the 49ers defense running thin. With critical questions about stopping the run and generating yards after catch, the guys share strategies for a playoff victory and preview the high-stakes clash against a battle-tested Philadelphia squad.

San Francisco 49ers fans are treated to daily news and analysis with Locked On 49ers, hosted by football analyst Brian Peacock and former NFL/AFL cornerback Eric Crocker.
