Loaded 49ers Update on CMC, Brandon Aiyuk's shape, George Kittle and Brock Purdy's bet, Nick Bosa

49ers update here from Levis where it is a short week for the 49ers who beat the Jets on Monday night it is a trip to Minnesota this weekend for San Francisco Christian mcaffrey said that the decision to not play on Monday night was made on Monday morning Kyle Shanahan said that there has never been consideration to put mcaffrey on injured reserve because he in fact was close to playing against the Jets so it's the calf Achilles is issue for maccaffrey who's out of practice right now in a limited fashion it was limited last week he also mentioned in the locker room today that the fact that Minnesota has artificial turf will not have a bearing on his decision of whether or not to play this week and personally I think the only thing that should have a bearing on the mcaffrey decision is is he 100% if he's 100% yes he should play if he's 99% no he shouldn't play 98 97 so on and so forth the 49ers are way too good to risk anything with Christian mcaffrey they can wait until he's 100% to return other practice injury news no eer gross MOS no D winters at practice today gr MOS with the knee injury that kept them out of uh week one D Winters has the ankle injury that kept him out of week one we'll see if they're out there on Thursday if they're not then it's much likelier that week three is the soonest possible return date for those two players Jake Moody the fort Anders kicker is your NFC offensive uh special teams player of the week I would say that maybe he qualified for an offensive player as well since he scored 20 of the 49ers 32 points against the Jets six field goals and two extra points two of those six field goals for Jake Moody came from over 50 yards so he became the first kicker in 49ers history to do that in one game six field goals including two over 50 for Jake Moody congratulations to him looks like that third round pick the 49ers used on a kicker was a smart decision he was good last year and we reported it over training camp Jake movy was looking even better than last season during camp and that extended into week one Brandon auk today spoke at his locker for only about 90 seconds and he acknowledged that uh he did not feel great during that game he didn't look great during that game against the Jets obvious viously two two drops one where s Gardner got his hand in there but he dropped the dime from Brock pie that should have been a touchdown but Brandon auk said that he was actually scared to watch the tape after the game I didn't I I didn't watch the film until this morning uh I was a little bit scared to watch it but not as bad as I thought you were scared to watch it I was scared to watch it did it just not feel right at the time uhuh have you ever felt like that before finally watched it this morning cuz the ultim Ely you have to watch it he said it wasn't as bad as he thought it was going to be but obviously this is going to be a work in progress for Brandon auk to play himself back into shape then there was the George KD press conference as you may have heard KD lost a bet to Brock pury his Alma moer of Iowa lost to Iowa state in the last second long field goal for the Cyclones to beat the Hawkeye so the BET was that the loser has to wear the Winner's helmet from college so this is George KD with Brock P's helmet from Iowa State on KD tried to change the visor he wanted a darker visor there but pie would not let him that was that this is Nick bosa's press conference from his locker big matchup for Nick Bosa in this game against Vikings left tackle Christian darasa and you know Bosa lines up on both sides so I think we'll see Bosa against darasa and Leonard Floyd against derasa and Bosa is able to talk about both of the forers top defensive ends obviously including himself and the newcomer Leonard Floyd who had a nice game against the Jets particular both I think uh well yeah I think both of them I think they're one of the better tandems of of tackles in the league and they have a very good run game which helps them out so um it'll be fun we've had some battles before and I think uh they're probably better now and I'm better now so see how it goes Nick you say that you're better now have you kind of focused in on one thing in particular coming into this season if you want to work on or improve yeah I really have um I don't want to talk about it too much but uh it'll come up on tape and it already has so um I think I'm a lot more balanced between my different rushes and I think it's opening up some things and I was happy with the other night once we started to get some Ops later in the game how it's going but a lot to improve on and uh I'm just excited to have another op not to dig too deeply but meaning your your past rush moves you're using a greater variety a more equal percentage of the time yes Nick what' you think of the first game with uh with Leonard on the other side it was awesome he was winning a lot um causing a lot of Havoc he had a couple good plays in The Run um but this week I think we're playing a better um honestly a better team that's uh they're playing better football it looks like and uh they run run the ball well and um we're going to have to be better in our our techniques we kind of got away with some things last week so uh so yeah we have to hone in and not not Pat ourselves on the back Nick what kind of challenge does Sam darn present now that you're going to face him in in aian um I haven't watched too much on him he he's Stout he could run a little bit uh and I mean since he's been here uh I know how how his arm strength is and how he's a good processor of information and could get the ball out so um it'll it'll be the same formula try and make him one dimensional and then go from there specifically on Dar what's made him what makes him such a tough left tackle I think he's got a low Center gravity um he's athletic um so it's tough to power him and then um he's he's athletic enough to run you by and and if you get his hands he kind of is able to replace him and run you by somebody like Leonard he's got such a good high motor does that you see that kind of carry over to the to the rest of the room when you're playing next to a guy that's given that kind of effort every play yeah I think our effort was pretty darn good uh against the Jets even from first play on sometimes it takes a little uh little time early in the season cuz games speed is different and that game wind is different um but I think we're flying around and and uh Floyd's no exception uh Aaron held the ball the less amount the least amount of any quarterback in the league last week 2.33 seconds how do you as a pass rusher who wants to get those sacks how do you view that I mean there's obviously a positive that comes with that from the overall defense but how do you view that yeah I mean it's it's tough we kind of expected it though um um and then they they pulled them late which was kind of surprising but uh I think we were we were causing some pressure um we weren't on the field much um and then you're going three and out and he's getting the ball out so it gets a little tough to keep your mind in it but there was some Ops at the end there and uh we're just going to have I mean games it's good football it's Niner football if that's the type of games we have and we don't have a lot of Ops but we have to go get them at the end so we have to keep our mind in it say the other night that uh when he came after missing all the camp he was said I can't believe how laser focused everybody was nobody was no joking around everybody was serious he was like really impressed have you had that feeling all along through camp and did you see feel that going into the game yeah it's funny cuz when I came in last year it was I was talking to Trent about how it's like high fives and hugs right when you walk in and then everybody's like all right we've been here we're working and they like it's it's work it's football and that's just how it is here and um that's why we were able to have a good team year in and year out Nick what kind of Pride do you take in the fact that you were beating the Jets so bad they took out Aaron Rogers um like I said we're not patting ourselves on the back it's one game and um we don't know how good we are yet and we don't know how good other teams are so we just have to keep getting better you ever had a backward B rush like you have last that was a failed move um but I'll take it I get a little pressure on him so after the game what were you and petrick will kind of talking about if you shared it yeah he was just asking me um about some of my past R plan and and I was just uh elaborating and we were kind of going back and forth as far as Road environments Minnesota's got a a pretty unique fan base do you enjoy playing there uh in Minnesota that Stadium the fans all that it's long flight and it's field Turf but it is one of the cooler environments I can't lie about that thanks Nick
