Expectations For Nick Bosa Are Sky High — Brian Baldinger

Week 1 is finally here, and NFL insider Brian Baldinger joins The Morning Roast to break down everything you need to know before the 49ers open their season against the Rams. From Nick Bosa's health to bold statistical predictions, Baldinger doesn't hold back. The conversation kicks off with a heated take on the wild opening weekend of college football, including a controversial officiating call in the Western Michigan-Michigan game that has fans furious. From there, the focus shifts to Levi's Stadium, where the defending NFC finalist 49ers open their season against a retooled Rams squad that added Aaron Donald-level talent on defense. Baldinger doesn't shy away from tough questions: does Nick Bosa need to be a Pro Bowl-caliber game-changer immediately off his third ACL recovery? How much better are the Rams after adding two former Chiefs defenders? And what does a healthy Dre Greenlaw mean for a defense that's been missing its edge? The segment wraps with rapid-fire bold predictions on Brock Purdy's games played, Christian McCaffrey's touches, rookie De'Zhaun Stribling's role, and a surprising Super Bowl pick that Niners fans might not love.
