Sean Payton Is Calling the Shots (and Plays) and More Main Characters for Week 5

PelisseroI'm a believer.

PelisseroIf Kyle has those four guys, he can figure out the rest. Yes, it's more complicated when you don't have all those ancillary pieces.

PelisseroJuszczyk is also a Kyle guy. He's banged up, might miss, it sounds like a little bit of time here. But those core four dudes on offense, that's what it all runs through. That's where the entire foundation of that offense comes from.

PelisseroWill those guys stay healthy for 17 games? History would tell you, probably not. I mean, they've all had various injuries through the years that have sidelined them.

PelisseroNot as much Debo. Debo has been more just kind of like the play going up and down. And he was probably a little heavier in his later years in the 49ers and, you know, got banged around a little bit, but he looks great. Kittle looks great.

PelisseroMcCaffrey has been okay to this point, but like, you know, the big McCaffrey games are coming and Purdy's playing an MVP level.

PelisseroI think that the 49ers are a dangerous team. You know how good they're going to be defensively. You also are facing a team that's got some familiarity this week, not just because Mike McDonald has gone against Kyle Shanahan a number of times now, but also Seahawks offensive coordinator, Brian Flurry, trained under Kyle Shanahan.
