The 49ers open a crucial four-game stretch of games heading into the by week with back-to-back match-ups against

NFC West opponents. First up on Sunday at Levi Stadium is a meeting against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cardinals are one in three and coming off a

blowout loss to the Washington commanders, but the 49ers are not in a position to take

any team lightly at this point. Coach Kyle Shanahan sits down with the voice of the

49ers great Papa for the 49ers game plan to discuss this upcoming game as the

49ers focus on tightening up their all-around game. Then Carlos Ramirez joins me to discuss some of the issues surrounding the 49ers

and offer up some solutions with some difficult games looming on the horizon.

We'll have all that and much more on this episode of 49ers talk coming at you right now.

regular season and he ended up on the team's practice squad. On 49ers game plan,

Coach Kyle Shanahan shares with Great Papa how Jennings has become an invaluable part of the 49ers offense.

Here's that interview as Shanahan and Papa preview the upcoming game, the 49ers against the Arizona Cardinals. Well, Coach, let's start with Fred Warner's pick six last week.
