THE HERD - HOUR 3 - 49ers Advantage & Rotating Captains

The extra play was bananas and shouldn't have been allowed, but it fits the pattern of a messy college football offseason.

Starting in Australia aligns with the 49ers' weird offseason and might help them avoid local distractions.

Niners fans dominate Rams games in LA because the league's absence forced local fans to adopt other teams.

The rotating captain policy likely exists to manage potential quarterback changes without stripping Watson of status.

The team will rotate captains weekly to reward players for their performance that week rather than naming permanent leaders.

Stefanski's week-by-week stance indicates the Falcons lack confidence in Tua and are avoiding a long-term commitment.

He is focusing only on week one and will not make long-term quarterback decisions until after the first game.

Complaining about Red Zone ads is unwarranted since viewers still see every touchdown and ads fund the broadcast.

This year's Red Zone will have fewer 15-second ads than last year and will never miss any touchdowns.

It's inexplicable that broadcast and stadium clocks can't be synchronized given modern technology.

Daniels' focus on the number five issue has damaged his standing and raised questions about his priorities.

Daniels' number five dispute was lame, poorly timed, and childish given his professional responsibilities.
