Locked On 49ers - Daily Podcast On The San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers face a record-setting travel schedule in the 2026 NFL season, highlighted by international showdowns against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne and the Minnesota Vikings in Mexico City. Brian Peacock and Eric Crocker question whether the Niners are at a disadvantage with so many air miles, and examine how differences in team travel plans might impact early-season performance and player readiness.

 

Listeners get the inside scoop on key roster moves, offseason improvements, and the strength of schedule calculations that could shape the 49ers’ season. The debate heats up over the value of Ricky Pearsall in trade talks, the potential of rookie De'Zhaun Stribling, and whether Jauan Jennings’ departure to the Vikings could come back to haunt San Francisco. Can Kyle Shanahan’s squad overcome logistical hurdles and capitalize on their loaded roster in pursuit of a deep playoff run?

 

San Francisco 49ers fans are treated to daily news and analysis with Locked On 49ers, hosted by football analyst Brian Peacock and former NFL/AFL cornerback Eric Crocker.

Former 49ers safety Donte Whitner calls out current safety Ji'Ayir Brown, sparking debate over constructive criticism and mindset in today’s NFL. Brian Peacock, Nick Winkler, and Eric Crocker break down the Whitner-Brown drama and explore whether being a little “delusional” is necessary for greatness—or just a sign of thin skin in modern football culture.

 

The crew also analyzes the uncertain state of the 49ers linebacker corps, questioning Dre Greenlaw’s durability and Nick Martin’s readiness to fill big shoes if needed, while examining new athletic additions like Larry Worth III. How important is Fred Warner to San Francisco’s defense headed into 2026? The conversation wraps with speculation about Brandon Aiyuk’s future, locker room dynamics, and what’s really behind his social media behavior. Join the discussion on all things 49ers, from gritty rivalries to developing talent.

Is Kyle Shanahan bucking the NFL's red-hot three-tight end trend while betting big on George Kittle’s recovery? As teams like the Rams and Chargers stack their rosters with tight ends, the San Francisco 49ers stood alone by not drafting any in a historically deep class, instead signing undrafted free agent Khalil Dinkins from Penn State. Brian Peacock and Eric Crocker break down why Shanahan is resisting the 13 personnel wave, discuss the construction of the 49ers’ tight end room, and ponder what Kittle’s Achilles injury means for the offense.

 

The hosts spotlight returning options like Jake Tonges, Luke Farrell, and Brayden Willis, question the value of adding veteran free agents such as Marcedes Lewis or Darren Waller, and weigh whether 49ers’ offensive versatility comes from tight ends—or creative use of Kyle Juszczyk and receivers like Jauan Jennings. Can San Francisco’s unique approach keep them ahead of the curve, or are they taking a gamble with minimal depth?

Rookie minicamp buzz electrifies San Francisco as explosive newcomer Romello Height draws rave reviews for his standout get-off and high-octane athleticism on the 49ers’ defensive line.
