49ers stick to their strategy as trade deadline passes without a move

The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday, and the 49ers stood pat with the roster they have. San Francisco's quiet approach spoke volumes about their intent despite fervor from fans, sticking to their path of growth and development with youth. At 6-3, the 49ers can compete -- and they've decided to do so with the current players at their disposal. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss San Francisco's choice to trust its depth and chemistry over a splashy trade that would mortgage their future. Also, as Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall continue rehabbing their injuries, just how close are they to returning? Finally, Matt and Jennifer debate if the 49ers can strike gold again against the Los Angeles Rams after their rivals' Week 5 theatrics.
