trey lance working out. jimmy garoppolo didn't practice this week. the thumb injury on his throwing hand is not allowing them to even participate in drill, so i don't see how he's possibly going to start. as for the texans, don't take them lightly . they scored 41 against the chargers to win last sunday, only their fourth victory of the year. but fred warner knows this time of year. you can't just brush and everybody off. this is a week or we got to be hyper focused. it's got to be our best performance. you know, we've got to come in and start fast finish finishing faster. i think that's my mindset. you know, it's a one game season right now. and you know our whole entire focuses on the texans offense. it's gotta fall on our shoulders on defense. that's how i'm taking it. so many college bowl games to talk about. we don't have time for all of them, so we just pick the one with the strangest name the mayo pull the winning coach gets 4.5 gallons of gooey , gooey mayo poured on him. as for this game against south carolina versus north carolina, first qu

we started the year with the jimmy g trey lance conversation with two games left in the regular season. it's pretty much the same deal who's going to start at quarterback. well, the problematic thumb of jimmy g has caused some consternation this week, of course, says you remember, he was hurt last thursday and the loss to the titans again, though the gate is open for all kinds of speculation, will he or won't he? be able to play come sunday in a crucial game against the texans that levi stadium. the coach says. it's just a sprain. it's been diagnosed as a little bit more serious than that. as there's a ligament tear and also a little chip break, but to say jimmy g is optimistic about playing. that's an understatement. yeah definitely . i think just i mean, you know, played the entire game with it, basically. so it's a it's really just about, you know, being able to grip the ball doing things that normally do, and we're going to test those out today. see how it feels and go from there, but, yeah, i feel confident that you know, it's playoff atmosphere. now now it's now it's for real. an

that would be a semi miracle can't help but believe there's a great chance that rookie trey lance is going to get his second nfl starts sunday at lever is against the texans. lance also sustained if you remember a bone chip in his throwing hand versus arizona in his first ever started. haven't seen hide nor hair of him. basically since then, here's shanahan's assessment of lance development behind the scenes and his thoughts on whether or not he'll play. if your starting quarterback can't throw it as good as he normally does that always factor, you know, i mean, it's i feel like if that was the case at any time this year, um, jimmy, he was struggling to, um , throw it as best. i think we would have gone with this last month of trade has been his best consecutive four weeks of practice, since we've had him as far as this consistency and stuff until this last month, has been as best alright if there is such a thing, i guess the golden state warriors have received some good covid news but hit quite hard, particularly in the last week or so. so as they ready up to play denver tomorrow ni

that means trey lance. he's been put on the sideline, of course. and he's being told you could start this sunday. so get ready. >> he told me drew brees had one the last few years or something. and his broken. that's why we had to get surgery. jimmy's isn't in that spot. it stable and that's why he doesn't need surgery right now. and we and i think he's feeling a lot better today than he was a few days ago. that's why it's got a chance this weekend with a b in that case. i'm hoping it only gets better with more time, whether that's this week or the following week. i mean you know, play the entire game with a basically. so. >> it's really just about, you know, being able to grip the ball do think that normally do. and pain just, you know, it's not going anywhere. so i know what that feels like. but. it's just note about being confident going out there and being able to normally do with the football. so we'll see. we'll see it says. but i feel good right now with >> okay. so we'll find out. it was that closer and closer to sunday who will be the star

look at trey lance. he's been sitting on ice for a while anyway. cold weather could suggest it will be a defensive battle and kyle shanahan realizes that's when a cincinnati stress. but is a real good done a real good job stopping the run this year. >> they do a lot schematically that keep seems off base with their fronts and coverages and. there are a lot of guys play very hard to. >> tiger woods he will be back on the links next week. >> we'll be competing in the pnc championship with his son charlie. that's down in florida. the 2 played in this event last year. it's an unofficial tour event which features players and their family members in a 2 day format. it's been 10 months since woods got in that horrible car accident which nearly caused him, his lake. so. and we're just glad to see him walking out there with his son having fun and we'll see him on the tor again soon. in a big-time event, he made a promise of that just might not be has regularly. all right. be has regularly. all right. that is the classic hollywood story. we meet the hero, th

the rookie trey lance will get his second nfl starts sunday at levi's against the texans. lance also sustained a bone chip fracture in his throwing hand in his first start against arizona and alaska. the cardinals in that one, it was his first start. haven't seen really hiding her hair of him since, but shanahan did say today when he met with the press that he has looked better than he has all year in his workouts in the month of december, so we'll see monday night football, dolphins and saints boy the saints ever missed the days of drew brees tonight. going with ian book at quarterback is nfl debut does not go well, his second pass first quarter it is read like a book by miami's nik needham tip and pick six bringing it back seven. nothing it only got worse for the saints after that. they couldn't get anything going. but again, that book was sacked eight times. dolphins become the first ever team in nfl history. you have a seven game losing streak and a seven game win streak in the same season. needless to say, they're on the win streak right now and a definite playoff con
