Tape Heads: Draft Season

NFC Championship Game: Rams over 49ers: Stafford shines under pressure, 49ers challenges, Garoppolo and San Fran Future

In the latest episode of the Tape Heads podcast, hosts Dan Orlovsky, Bob Wischusen and Scott Pioli discuss the Rams getting past the 49ers and now playing in the Super Bowl. Dan talks about the play of Matt Stafford shining in pressure moments and making throws that helped his receivers get open. Stafford has proved himself in a spot that he never had the chance to play in before. The 49ers were trying to match up man for man against the Rams and had growing issues as the game progressed. Dan wonders why San Fran couldn't dial it up because Jimmy Garoppolo had opportunities that he missed. Scott thinks this was an average Niners team that improved throughout the season, but came up short. Dan was surprised we didn't see a touch of Trey Lance sprinkled in for a different look.The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.

Tape Heads is a twice-weekly, in-season X-and-O podcast giving fans the “whys and hows” of each week’s NFL action.  
In each episode, Dan, Bob and Scott detail the biggest moments of the NFL weekend based on their study of All-22 coaching footage, aka “The Tape.” Conversations fueled by observation and analysis give fans the new insights and information they crave.
But its coverage extends beyond the surface of real time moments and extends into the living history of the National Football League. With diverse insights from former players and executives – who are also life-long fans and students of the game – Tape Heads also provides historical context for the topics of today, as well as an insider’s view of the current trends within the game.  
Each week, Tape Heads will look back on what we saw in the previous week’s games, and then look ahead to the next week’s matchups using the “tale of the tape” to predict the keys to victory.
