The 49ers departed early for Melbourne, Australia, last week in a strategic move to acclimate to the massive time shift. They endured a 16-hour, 7,855-mile flight across the Pacific Ocean and have settled into the routine of a regular game week. Monday (Melbourne time) was their first practice at AAMI Park. On "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the 49ers' long journey, as they also made the trek down under, and how San Francisco is adapting to its new surroundings ahead of the first-ever NFL regular-season game in Australia. Later, star tight end George Kittle opens up about how impactful coach Kyle Shanahan has been on his career, what he expects from a 'confident' Brock Purdy this season, as well as what joining the 49ers' 10-year wall means to him.
