When the Niners took the 101 South down to Los Angeles for joint practices and a preseason game this upcoming Sunday against the Chargers, we expected to see one Coach Staley patrolling the sidelines.
On the opposing side, Brandon Staley would be best known to Niner fans as the wunderkind defensive coordinator of the 2020-21 Los Angeles Rams, who now enters his first season at the helm of the Bolts.
Even better known to the Faithful will be the second Staley that popped up during the course of these training camp scrimmages. Joe Staley, who’s a Southern California resident, has been on hand volunteering in a coaching capacity for the past two days.
