Jimmy Garoppolo is 3-0 as a starter for the San Francisco 49ers, and man, does this feel like a different football team than the one that started the season. And that’s mainly because it is. Garoppolo has not only solidified himself as a franchise quarterback, but he has breathed life into an offense, and into a team, that desperately needed it. With all the excitement that Garoppolo brings to Santa Clara, Eric Branch (http://www.twitter.com/Eric_Branch) of the San Francisco Chronicle joins me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) and Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) to talk about this new era of 49ers’ football and what it means for the future of the organization. We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope you enjoy it too!

Hello 49ers fans! The Jimmy Garoppolo era is off to a great start, as the new starting quarterback led the Niners to a 15-14 victory over the Chicago Bears in his first start. Not only did he make his receivers and the offense better, but the defense was on the field for far fewer plays, making that unit stronger and more efficient as well. Garoppolo is a legit QB, and the San Francisco 49ers have found their piece to that puzzle. David Lombardi (http://www.twitter.com/LombardiHimself) from The Athletic joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and me (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to talk about all things 49ers, including: The new QB of course - The feeling in the 49ers’ locker room and throughout Levi’s Stadium - The upcoming game against Houston - The benefits of winning, no matter what that does to the Draft - And the top needs the Niners have going into the offseason. Thanks for listening! Go Niners!

Hello 49ers Faithful. It’s official. Jimmy Garoppolo will start Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Kyle Shanahan informed his quarterbacks earlier today. When C.J. Beathard left Sunday’s game with knee and hip injuries, Garoppolo came in and dazzled. He was in for three plays, but those three plays were a four yard scramble, a nine yard pass to Aldrick Robinson, and a 10-yard TD to Louis Murphy. Like I said, he dazzled. With Beathard getting beat up week after week and not being 100%, it is no surprise that Shanahan has decided to see what Garoppolo can do. For his career, Garoppolo is 65 of 96 for 708 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Here we go. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, TheFootballGirl.com’s Melissa Jacobs joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to talk all things Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers. It was at the end of the podcast that we got the breaking news that would Garoppolo would start Sunday, so that was good timing. Lis

The bye week has come and gone, and the 1-9 San Francisco 49ers continue their home stand as the Seattle Seahawks come to Levi’s Stadium November 26 for a division rival showdown. Well, they’re rivals. Showdown may be strong for 1-9 vs. 6-4. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) welcome FSGN’s own Seahawks Fangirl (http://www.twitter.com/SeahawksFGSN), Christina Kaplan, to talk about the matchup. We discuss: • The Seahawks “atrocious” offensive line • Why Russell Wilson is so dangerous • The rivalry between these two teams and their fans • Who we think will be under center for the 49ers • And why Steph and I think the red and gold just might win this one.

After nine painful losses, the San Francisco 49ers finally got a win and are 1-9 heading into the bye week. Even though they were playing the dismal New York Giants, the 49ers played well, played hard, and gave us a glimpse of what this team’s future could be. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I are joined by 95.7 the Game’s Bonta Hill (http://www.twitter.com/BontaHill) and 49ers blogger Rich Madrid (http://www.twitter.com/rjmadrid) to talk about the win and the 49ers. Bonta, Steph and I talk about the game, the quarterbacks, and the rebuild, while Rich talks a lot about Colin Kaepernick, the state of quarterbacking in the NFL, and being a veteran among all the discussion of anthem protests. It’s a very interesting pod that delves into a lot of issues. I hope you enjoy it, as much as we enjoyed recording it. Now, enjoy the bye week. Go Niners!

The San Francisco 49ers may be 0-8, but they have been busy. The traded a second round pick to the New England Patriots for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and sent cornerback Rashard Robinson to the New York Jets. For the first time in a long time, the 49ers quarterback situation seems to be solidified, and fans can breathe easy on that one. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Marcus Thompson (http://www.twitter.com/ThompsonScribe) of the Athletic joins Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) to discuss: • Kyle Shanahan, quarterback whisperer? • The trade for Jimmy G • The Robinson trade and what it means at corner • If I could play left tackle (yes, you read that right) • What the rest of the season looks like for the Niners • And why Steph and Warriors’ fans don’t need to panic.

Hello Niner fans! Even with the San Francisco 49ers being 0-6, Sunday promises to be an exciting day at Levi’s Stadium. It will be C.J. Beathard’s first start at quarterback, the first home game since September 21, and most importantly, it’s “Dwight Clark Day.” The 49ers will honor the beloved former 49ers’ wide receiver, and it could not be more fitting with the Dallas Cowboys coming to town. You know, “The Catch” and all. 49ers’ team president Al Guido joins the pod to talk: - What the team has planned for the day - Who will be speaking at halftime (you will not want to miss it) - The various changes inside Levi’s Stadium and those that are coming outside the stadium - And the player protests and the support they’ve received from Jed York and the organization.

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 (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) are joined by Tim Kawakami (http://www.twitter.com/TimKawakami), 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

It has been an incredible week in the NFL, with players, coaches, and executives around the league coming together in protest about comment made by President Trump. This past Sunday saw teams staying in the locker room for the National Anthem, kneeling, and linking arms. It was a movement started by Colin Kaepernick, and it is spreading around the league. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph and I discuss a number of issues, including: - The power of the anthem protests - Steph’s article on Kaepernick and being a female sports fan (http://fangirlsportsnetwork.com/nfl/49ers-fangirl/cant-stop-talking-colin-kaepernick/) - Why we’re thankful to Colin Kaepernick - Why we’re proud of Jed York and the 49ers’ organization - Last week’s exciting Thursday Night Football game (http://fangirlsportsnetwork.com/nfl/49ers-fangirl/49ers-lose-thursday-night-thriller-rams/) - And we preview this Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Hello 49ers fans. Well week one of the NFL season is in the books, and it was not a good one for the San Francisco 49ers. After a lot of offseason excitement and optimism, the Niners opened the season with a 23-3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. A lot went wrong, but a couple of things actually did go right and there is reason to believe that this team will start to gel and improve as the season goes on. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) take a look at the game, as well as next week’s matchup in Seattle, including: • Reuben Foster, his strong play, and how gets the fans pumped up. He looked great before leaving the game with an ankle injury. It remains to be seen how much time he will miss but head coach Kyle Shanahan said in his experience, these things take about a month. • the woes of the offensive line and why we hope next week will be better • the reality of Brian Hoyer as quarterback • the improved run defe

Hello 49ers fans! The 2017 NFL season is upon us and there is a lot of new in Santa Clara. The 49ers have a new general manager, a new coach, a lot of new players, and a new attitude. To start season three of the Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) are joined by 49ers’ Vice-President of Communications Bob Lange to discuss: • The new show chronicling the Niners, "Brick by Brick" • The new additions at Levi’s Stadium that bring in the past and celebrate the president • The new food options at the stadium • Marquise Goodwin and what he brought to Brick by Brick • The changes in the organization that are important to the York family and to everyone in the building • And then, Steph and I preview the season. Thanks for listening! We’ll be back in two weeks to discuss week one against the Carolina Panthers and preview week two against the Seahawks. Go Niners!

Hello 49er fans! The NFL Draft has come and gone, and the San Francisco 49ers are looking like a team with a vision, a future, and a plan. After making six trades to get the players they wanted for this year, still ending the draft with 10 new players (and that doesn't include the 18 undrafted free agents they signed), and picks for the future, the Niners are in a much better place than they’ve been in awhile. General manager John Lynch did a masterful job with the draft, and he and Kyle Shanahan are off and running. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) discuss the draft and the team, including: - That trade from two to three - Reuben Foster and Joe Williams and how the 49ers are working to ensure success for both - The benefits of Lynch and Shanahan working in tandem - Whether or not I think Vance McDonald will be on the 49ers when the season starts - And the excitement we have about this team that’s been missing f

It's about that time 49ers fans! After months of discussion, speculation, and mock drafts galore, the 2017 NFL Draft is just over a week away. The San Francisco 49ers have the #2 overall pick, and unlike in recent years, we do not have a lock on of who they will take. It’s also very likely that they trade back for more picks. This Draft will give the fans a clearer picture of the John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan era, and the vision they have for this team. Frankly, it’s all very exciting! On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) are joined Bleacher Report’s draft expert Matt Miller (http://www.twitter.com/nfldraftscout) to break down the draft for the 49ers. We discuss all things draft related, including: - What Matt would really like to see the 49ers do with the #2 pick - The odds of Myles Garrett being available at the two spot - The first of the John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan NFL Drafts and what it means - Who we would each p

After months and months of speculation, the 2017 NFL Draft is only a month away. Let’s be honest, fans of the San Francisco 49ers have been looking forward to April 27 pretty much since week two of the 2016 season. It is no secret that the 49ers are in the midst of a major rebuild, and though this can’t be done in one draft, a dent can certainly be made. The Niners need everything from a quarterback to offensive lineman to linebackers to, well, everything. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersFangirl) are joined by Pro Football Focus Analyst Jeff Deeney (http://www.twitter.com/PFF_Jeff) to talk about the upcoming draft. We cover: - our personal top picks at #2 and #34 - the variety of players and positions that make sense with the second pick - the difference between this year’s draft and those of the past few years - the excitement around seeing what John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan do - the deficiencies in the 2016 49ers and w

It’s may be the offseason, but the San Francisco 49ers’ general manager and head coach tandem of John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have been busy making moves. They signed defensive back K’Waun Williams and defensive tackle Earl Mitchell, while re-signing wide receiver Jeremy Kerley to a three-year deal. In a move that was both surprising and not, the Niners have released wide receiver Torrey Smith, after two lackluster years in two very lackluster offenses. But still, it makes a lot of sense. They have also released safety Antoine Bethea. Onward and upward we go. With the free agency period officially beginning on Thursday and the draft less than two months away, the 49ers are in need of a quarterback, wide receivers, linebackers, and basically everything else. Therefore, we can expect many more moves to come. On this week’s Talking Touchdown’s podcast, Steph(http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl)are joined by Niners Wire of the USA Today Sports Media Group’s Chris Bider

The San Francisco 49ers have themselves a new general manager, and he comes in the form of Pro Bowler and Hall of Fame candidate John Lynch. Lynch has spent the last several years as an analyst on the NFL on Fox and though he comes to Santa Clara with no personnel experience, it's definitely an interesting hire. Listen to this week's podcast as SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) discuss if it's all just maybe crazy enough to work... and read my blog post to learn more about what John Lynch said on a conference call with the media yesterday. http://fangirlsportsnetwork.com/nfl/49ersfangirl/podcast-ep-48-will-the-49ers-strike-gold-with-john-lynch-hire Thanks for reading and listening!

The Atlanta Falcons are going to the Super Bowl, and they’re going in large part to the play calling of offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. And yes, that's the same Kyle Shanahan it looks like the San Francisco 49ers will be hiring as their next head coach. Jed York and company will have to wait a couple weeks to make it official, but it will be worth in the wait. Yet, as of now, it’s late January and the 49ers are without a coach and a general manager. Top GM candidates Eliot Wolf and Brian Gutekunst are staying in Green Bay. The now frontrunner is Minnesota Vikings’ assistant General Manager George Paton, but the plot thickens, as the Indianapolis Colts want to interview him as well. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, SoCaliSteph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph) and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) talk all things 49ers, including: - How the route to a new coach and general manager has been a risky one, but one with a potentially big payoff - The excitement over Kyle Shanahan and why

In what is becoming an annual tradition, San Francisco 49ers’ CEO Jed York addressed the media Monday morning. This year it was to talk about the firings of general manager Trent Baalke and head coach Chip Kelly and discuss the future of the team and the organization. “I want to let the fans know that I apologize for a 2-14 season. I apologize for being back here again and making a change, but I think it’s very important that we reestablish a championship culture. We need to make sure that we move forward and find the right head coach and general manager, two guys that can work together and reestablish the level that we all expect and want for the San Francisco 49ers.” I believe that York is sincere, and I do believe he wants this team to win. I also understand that from a fan’s perspective, it’s a lot of years of too much talking and not enough action. But, the past is the past. “Nothing that I’m going to say is going to be a satisfactory answer. We need to make sure that our success speaks for itself. Ou

Another week, another terrible loss for the San Francisco 49ers. Two games remain in this dismal season, and the end can’t come soon enough. It has been a very rough couple of years to be a 49ers’ fan, so Steph (http://www.twitter.com/SoCaliSteph)and I (http://www.twitter.com/49ersfangirl) brought in an expert on rough years to be a fan. On this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast, we are joined by Ryan Burns - Cleveland Browns fan and the founder, host, and executioner of FootballSickness. We discuss all sorts of fun things, including: - The similarities between the 49ers and the Browns - The Ways the two organizations have intersected over the years with players and coaches - The positives Ryan sees for the Browns’ future - If the 49ers have the same positives - And Ryan gives us tips on how to get through these dismal seasons.
