Episode notes
Why Mac Jones Was Acquired
- The 49ers acquired Mac Jones to be a serviceable short-term starter if Brock Purdy missed time.
- They expect Jones to be very Purdy-like but limited by injuries to pass-catching talent.
Thin Receiving Corps Limits Offense
- The 49ers' pass-catching corps is depleted with Kittle out and several receivers injured.
- That paucity of proven scorers significantly limits what Mac Jones can do offensively.
Game Might Be Closer Than Expected
- Talent between the 49ers and Saints feels closer than expected because New Orleans has strong playmakers and a solid defensive line.
- The 49ers defense may be the edge, but the game won't be a cakewalk.
