The NFL is back and so are Baldy’s Breakdowns.

Longtime NFL analyst Brian Baldinger joined 95.7 The Game’s “The Morning Roast” for his weekly appearance Tuesday to give his insights on Trey Lance’s 2022 debut as QB1 for the 49ers. Though Lance only threw for 164 yards and a pick in a torrential downpour, Baldinger didn’t pin the 19-10 loss on the second-year signal-caller.

“He didn’t lose the game,” Baldinger told hosts Bonta Hill and Joe Shasky. “They didn’t block well up front and they didn’t run the ball well. Nobody can tell you the names of those defensive linemen on the Chicago Bears. Nothing against Justin Jones or Angelo Blackson or any of those other guys up there, but this isn’t a top five defense. There was a lot of one- and two-yard runs from that offense on Sunday.”
