[Podcast EP # 57] The Coach. The QB. The Record. Talking 49ers with Tim Kawakami

The San Francisco 49ers are now 0-4 after losing in heartbreaking fashion to the Arizona Cardinals. They have lost their last three games by a combined total of eight points, which means they’re close, but they can’t seem to finish games.

This team is in a rebuild and that’s the difference between good teams and building teams. Good teams have playmakers that can make the game-winning plays; rebuilding teams are still looking for it.

On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I are joined by Tim Kawakami, Editor-in-Chief of The Athletic SF, to talk all things 49ers. Tim gives us a lot insight, including:

• The keys factors in Sunday’s loss and what the 49ers are missing
• Brian Hoyer vs. C.J. Beathard
• An interesting thought of what the 49ers could potentially do sooner rather than later at quarterback
• The main reason for all those penalties, and it may not be what you think
• How much patience the organization is going to have with Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch (hint: a lot)
• And the secret to Tim unblocking you on Twitter.

Tim was a fantastic guest, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Go Niners! [NFL-49ers-footer]
