49ers Weekly with Dexter Carter – Super Bowl Preview!

by

It's Super Bowl time! Join Matt Andruscavage and former 49ers running back Dexter Carter as they preview the matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The media has been going on all week about how no one can stop Patrick Mahomes and the offense, as well as how Jimmy Garoppolo can't throw. This is just like 1984 when the media referred to Joe Montana as the "wimpy king of the NFC" and how no one can stop Dan Marino and that offense.

For this show, we break down the matchups, and also have a special guest, former 49ers and Broncos safety Dedrick Dodge. Dodge talks about the difference between knowing you're going to win the Super Bowl, like he did when he was a part of the 1994 49ers, and knowing you can win the Super Bowl despite what the media says, like he did in 1997 with the Broncos.

The 49ers' rebuild is complete and they are now in the Super Bowl, ready to bring home number six! Enjoy the show!

49ers Weekly with Dexter Carter – NFC Championship Game Preview

by

Join Matt Andruscavage and former 49ers running back Dexter Carter as they breakdown the 49ers' playoff win over the Minnesota Vikings and preview the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers.

Last week, San Francisco made short order of the Vikings as they squeezed the life out of them, 27-10. The 49ers applied constant pressure, had six sacks, and dominated the time of possession on offense. The ground game had nearly 200 yards and had an amazing 19 runs for at least 5 yards.

Jimmy Garoppolo was very good on the opening drive and led the offense against a very good Vikings defense, despite a couple of bad throws. The ground game and defense took over the second half, showing that the 49ers can win in multiple ways, as they have all season.

Against the Packers, the team knows that the 37-8 trouncing in Week 12 means nothing. The Packers will be more difficult to beat this time around and the Niners must execute.

If the 49ers do not turn the ball over, they should be able to win this game. Green Bay has not improved significantly, though they have found ways to win. They probably played their best game of the season last week against the battered Seahawks and will be a difficult opponent.

San Francisco has the edge going into the game as they now have Dee Ford, Matt Breida, Joe Staley, Kwon Alexander, and Robbie Gould, who all missed the Week 12 matchup. Ford and Alexander's return, along with Jaquiski Tartt who also is back, have completely transformed the defense into the juggernaut that it was earlier in the season. Staley gave up zero pressures on Saturday and is playing at a very high level. That will be very important against Za'darius and Preston Smith in this game.

The Packers will have Bryan Bulaga back, who left the Week 12 matchup early in the game, but the 49ers have a better chance of protecting their quarterback and getting after their opponent than the Packers do.

If San Francisco takes care of the football, applies the pressure on Aaron Rodgers, and doesn't allow Aaron Jones to take over the game, the 49ers will be heading to the Super Bowl.

49ers Weekly with Dexter Carter – Divisional Playoff Preview

by

The playoffs are here and for the first time since the 2013 season, the San Francisco 49ers will be participating in a Divisional Round matchup.

The Minnesota Vikings are coming to town and this matchup should shape up into a good one.

Join Matt Andruscavage and former 49ers running back Dexter Carter as they break down this matchup to find where each team has an advantage.

The 49ers are getting linebacker Kwon Alexander, safety Jaquiski Tartt, and defensive end Dee Ford back to their defense, making that unit even better than it was.

Minnesota, on the other hand, has players down in the secondary and Xavier Rhodes is not the same player he has been, which could mean some big gains by the 49er offense.

The game should come down to how each defense handles the opposition's running game as well as how they protect their quarterback.

49ers Weekly Podcast with Dexter Carter – Rams Preview

by

Join Matt Andruscavage and former 49ers running back Dexter Carter as they break down the 49ers' loss to the Falcons, the playoff possibilities and Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Despite this being the third loss of the season (all of them at the buzzer), the 49ers are unshaken. They will be ready to right the ship against the Rams and will see the return of cornerbacks Richard Sherman and K'Waun Williams, who were out against the Falcons.

If the 49ers win out, they will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs. If they lose Saturday, they can still win the division and either a first round by or even home field advantage, with a win over Seattle. The season is far from over and these last two games will tell us a lot about where things are.

In other notes, George Kittle will become the first 49er since Anquan Boldin to have back to back 1,000 yard seasons if he gets 112 yards the rest of the way.

Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, Nick Bosa, and Richard Sherman were voted to the Pro Bowl. There were also 8 alternates.

49ers Weekly Podcast with Dexter Carter – Rams Preview

by

It’s Week 6 and the San Francisco 49ers will travel to Los Angeles to square off against their division rival Rams in what is likely the game of the week.

The 49ers are coming off of a 31-3 drubbing of the Cleveland Browns. Matt Breida led a 49ers rushing attack that put up 275 yards and Jimmy Garoppolo had an efficient day and two touchdown passes.

Injuries are taking their toll on both the 49ers and Rams. The Rams will be without Aqib Talib and Clay Matthews, while Todd Gurley is listed as doubtful and will likely miss the game as well.

For the 49ers, Fullback Kyle Juszczyk will miss 4-6 week with a sprained MCL and Right Tackle Mike McGlinchey had arthoscopic knee surgery and will also 4-6 weeks. They are already missing Joe Staley and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon.

We address the Browns game, preview the Rams game and also discuss the Richard Sherman incident with Baker Mayfield.
