In Hour 1 of Willard & Dibs, Mark Willard and Dan Dibley discuss San Francisco 49ers rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling's epic first two preseason games after another strong showing in last night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Dibs isn't sold, and notices some hypocrisy. But Willard is ALL in. Later, they're joined by former NFL offensive lineman and analyst Geoff Schwartz to discuss his recent comments regarding the 49ers and his strong belief that they haven't drafted well. In Hour 2, Willard and Dibs discuss Klay Thompson's new contract with the Miami Heat, and if the Golden State Warriors could've made that deal happen. Also, will Christian Kirk make the Week 1 roster for the San Francisco 49ers? It's up in the air. The guys also discuss why the San Francisco Giants' season has created a boring atmosphere in the Bay Area, and why Willard hasn't felt truly excited to watch a sports game in a long time. In Hour 3, Willard and Dibs break down Kyle Shanahan's postgame press conference following their preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. They also hear from Brock Purdy, who appeared on the Pat McAfee show where the 49ers' quarterback said he wanted to be "the machine." They also play a tough, well-fought game of higher or lower. In Hour 4, Willard and Dibs discuss how Ricky Pearsall's injury could speed up rookie WR De'Zhaun Stribling's season.
