Well, at least the good games and then the conference games, because all the non-conference games for the most part, fucking blow.

And until we figure any of this out, it just, it just become exhausting.

Uh,

Before we get into the mailbag, this segment is Change of Scenery, sponsored by my friends at Toyota.

I saw my guy, George Kittle, who is still in the Niners.

He didn't change teams.

But the 49ers are going to change continents, definitely change time zones when they fly to Australia.

And like Daniel Jones, he tore his Achilles.

Now, he tore his Achilles way later, right in the playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.

And he said, my goal is to be there for week one.

The problem is, as a 15-hour flight in a game like four days before a normal opening day, that might make it a little bit difficult.

Sure.

But who doesn't like a challenge?

So no, I've got a chance, like I said, just got to keep my head down and keep working.

One thing about this Australia game, which is kind of underrated, is some people that get injured, it's inevitable, especially for the 49ers, but same with the Rams.

In training camp, typically if the Rams were just hosting this game at home,

Probably could have figured out a way to play.

Because of this plane flight and because they're going to be in a foreign land where the setup for the rehab, they might not be as comfortable, they are going to leave players at home.

It happens a lot in these international games that a guy typically that might have traveled to a team if you were going on an hour or two-hour flight or definitely had a home game and might have played –

you might err on the side of caution and not risk the long flight that obviously impacts the ability to do rehab on major injuries.
