Training Camp and Titans Preview

The Niners Talk crew is back on a weekly schedule as the 49ers get ready for their first preseason action against the Tennessee Titans.

John, Tim, and Brian kick things off by remembering legendary Warriors coach Don Nelson and celebrating Roger Craig’s long-awaited induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They also react to Kyle Shanahan’s frightening off season car accident and discuss whether the experience could change his perspective heading into the season.

Then it’s all 49ers. The guys break down the biggest stories coming out of training camp, including Ricky Pearsall’s season-ending injury, Deebo Samuel’s return to San Francisco, the revamped wide receiver room, concerns about the depth behind Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy’s strong camp, the offensive line, and George Kittle’s recovery.

Plus, are the Rams really the team to beat in the NFC? Which players should Niners fans watch against Tennessee? And after seeing NFL stadiums converted to grass for the World Cup, is it finally time for the league to get rid of artificial turf?

Football is back, and so is the weekly emotional roller coaster of being a 49ers fan.
