WEBVTT - David Lombardi on 49ers Training Camp, Raheem Morris' Defense & Titans Preview

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Now back to murphin marketings on the Sports Leader, streaming

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>live on vsports Leader dot com at knbr V Sports

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Leader App.

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Forty nine or Football Let's Go. David Lombardi covers this

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>team comprehensively for the San Francisco Standard and he is

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>on the UMA guest line Dave our first kind of

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 2>camp hit with murphin Marcus.

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 3>How you doing?

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Hey, what's up? David? I'm doing great. How are you

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 3>guys doing?

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm I'm settling back in here into the city for

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 4>the season. And I think that the dog days of

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Trent were over because the first practice against somebody else

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 4>has come, and now tomorrow we finally have a game.

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 4>So the toughest stretches behind us, and it's really starting

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 4>to feel real.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, kind of the first chapter ending and now we

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>go into the game starting tomorrow against the Titans. Chapter

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>two and then eventually leading to the opener September tenth

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 2>in Australia. So, David, if you had to kind of

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 2>write the theme piece, you know, so you're that your

0:00:58.600 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>teacher says, right, what's it?

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I do?

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>This summer will be the.

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Theme from July twenty seventh to now and is it injuries?

0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's funny because obviously the Ricky Piersall situation

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 4>was a gut punch, but that was an injury that

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 4>he suffered last year is just something that has never

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 4>fully healed. And I think that because last year especially

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 4>was so so difficult with the injuries for the forty

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 4>nine ers, I think there's this PTSD and I think

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 4>that the media and social media is really ready to

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 4>hop on it, so even guys that they're holding out

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 4>for precautionary reasons, now it turns into a national story.

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 4>There's the whole substation thing going on. I think that

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 4>the injuries are actually overblown this year for the forty

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 4>nine ers so far, and you can knock on wood,

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 4>you can hope that they stay overblown, because obviously things

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 4>can go further south in a hurry. So I don't

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 4>think objectively that's the main story of Fort Anders' training camp.

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 3>If it had been, they wouldn't.

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Have even conducted the joint practice with the Titans. When

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 4>they start canceling joint practices like they did in twenty

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 4>twenty four, when they're supposed to have one with the

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 4>Saints and they didn't have enough healthy guys to confidently

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 4>get through one. Then I think you could seriously have

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 4>that conversation. But for now, I think that the you know,

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 4>obviously they do have an older offense, guys like Mike

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 4>Evans and Christian McCaffrey. You have to believe that they're

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 4>going to be ready for week one. They're managing them

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 4>to ensure that they're going to be ready for when

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 4>the games count. I think so far, the overarching two

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 4>themes for the forty nine Ers have been how good

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 4>Brock Purdy has looked at camp on the offensive side,

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 4>and that's really really important for that offense to be elite,

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>and the forty anders are going to need it to

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 4>be the lucomotive that pulls the train. And two, what

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 4>Raheem Morris is doing to the defense, because his resume

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 4>has stops at many different types of scheme. Right, He's

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 4>run four down front, five down front, four three three four,

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 4>all this stuff, and.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 3>He's majored in secondary coaching.

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 4>He's a dB guy, and he has brought the changes

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 4>that we thought that he would bring based on his

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 4>resume to this forty nine Ers defense. And he's creating

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 4>this hybrid scheme that I think is going to be

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 4>fascinating the track over the course of this season.

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 5>David, You're right to your point. There's been a lot

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 5>of talk to this offseason about that change from Robert

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 5>solid to Raheem Moore. So with both of them being

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 5>on the field yesterday for the joint practices, were you

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 5>able to notice some of those differences, maybe different styles

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 5>and schemes that Raheem's going to go with this season.

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 4>There was one play that really stood out to me.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 4>I was standing five yards away from it. You know,

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 4>sometimes you're really far away to join practices, sometimes things.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Developed right in front of you.

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 4>And it was Will Levis, one of the backup Titans quarterbacks,

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 4>was rolling to his left and Jaden Dugger and Larry Wirth,

0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 4>through two forty ers rookie linebackers, were pressuring him and

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 4>sprinting out toward the sideline to cut off his throwing

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 4>vision on the rollout, and between those two guys there's

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 4>almost fourteen.

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Feet of combined wingspan.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 4>Jaden Dougger has a seven foot wingspan. Larry Worth is

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 4>not too far behind him, and they both had their

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 4>arms outstretched up and Will Levis could not see over

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 4>both of these defenders, two extremely unusually tall linebackers. I'd

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 4>be yet to actually find a linebacker in NFL history

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 4>like a stack linebacker with a seven foot wingspan other

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 4>than Jayden Dugger. Normally, those guys are going to play

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 4>edge rusher, and he's gonna play some edge for the

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 4>forty nine ers as well, But they are very, very

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 4>insistent on this hybridized defense where the guys in the

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 4>front seven are playing in multiple different spots.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>And Morris is huge on length. I mean, he wants length.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 4>To clog passing lanes, to do what we saw Worth

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 4>and Dugger do yesterday to Will Levis just completely choke

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 4>off and any vision to where he might want to

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 4>throw the football, and then Levis just had to throw

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 4>the ball away and Larry Wirth was fired up and

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 4>it was right next to me, so it just kind of,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 4>you know, was imprinted on my mind. Oh, this is

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 4>what Raheem Morris wants from this defense. He wants extreme

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 4>length and extreme adaptability. Because we have seen a practice

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 4>where Jaden Dugger even worked with the defensive ends and

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure that he's going to be rushing to passer

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 4>from that position, but he's also going to be playing

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 4>that linebacker position for the forty nine ers.

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Interesting stuff to see Raheem Morris as he uses these

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>pieces here, and yeah, jade and Dugger a linebacker rookie,

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>he's getting some buzz here. Speaking of another rookie, I

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>want to ask you about Romelo height in the pass rush.

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, listen, we talked about earlier in the shows.

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Last year's pass rush just one of the worst they've

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 2>had in the Shanahan era, if not the worst. Nick

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Bosa is week to week with tendonitis. I don't know

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the key on white situation. Maybe you could fill me in.

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>We know Diggy Zoo was a big ad we hope

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>for Alfred Collins and CJ. West, But is Romelo height

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>as a result because of their need for pass rush

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and because how he's flashing going to be a guy

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.359
<v Speaker 2>who plays this year and gets reps in sort of

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the corolary is how you're feeling about the past rush

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>in general on August twelve.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, so it's really interesting because he falls into a

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 4>similar bucket Romelo Hyde as the other two guys that

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 4>I was talking about, as Jaden Dugger and Larry Worth.

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 4>Now they call it the feverback position. That's that's the

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 4>new that's the new terminology. And kJ Wright, the linebacker's coach,

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 4>explain that it's because fever means you're sick and you

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 4>have to be a football sicko to play the position

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 4>because you've got to learn a bunch of different spots.

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Some of the feverback candidates are going to be more

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 4>linebacker rooted, like a Jaden Dugger or Larry Worth. Some

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 4>of the feverback candidates like a Romelo Height are going

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 4>to be more.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Edge rusher rooted.

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 4>So it's whatever position is more of your home base,

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 4>that that's where you're rooted. So Ramelo Height is more

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 4>of an edge rusher, but he's also the lightest edge

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 4>rusher the forty nine Ers have had in these ten

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 4>years under Shanahan and Lynch.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>He's under two hundred and forty pounds.

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 4>He he is extremely quick off the ball, but even

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 4>in college he executed several coverage drops and Chris Caserk

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 4>says that he eats a lot of grass with his

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 4>strides because he's he's very very quick and has long

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 4>strides as well, with I think six to four heights.

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 4>So Romelo Height has been very intriguing in a similar

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.559
<v Speaker 4>way that he can execute the adaptable defense that Raheem

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Morris is going to want to implement with the forty

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 4>nine ers. But he definitely is the most polished pass

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 4>rusher out of that trio of guys that I've talked about.

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Why one concern with the Romelo height and this is

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 4>going to remind you guys a little bit of d Ford.

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 4>And I know there have been comparison to the d

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Ford with the getoff, but he has jumped off sides.

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 3>A lot in practice and.

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 4>One on one during team drills, and it's obvious why

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 4>his biggest comparative advantages is get off.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 3>So he wants to maximize that.

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 4>But because he's a little bit lighter, he can't afford

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 4>to get swallowed up by a tackle, so he has

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 4>to have that initial step and it's led to him

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 4>jumping off sides quite a bit. The forty Anders are

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 4>trying to work on that, and he's trying to work

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 4>on that. He might be more effective in home games

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 4>and in games of the forty nine ers have a big,

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 4>big crowd advantage, which is a lot of road games too,

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 4>because with that noise, he's going to be able to

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 4>better time up snap counts, and that first step if

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 4>he gets it off on time not too early, is

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 4>looks really really lethal. But he's going to have to

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 4>learn how to deal with NFL hard counts and all that,

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 4>so he's not jumping off sides.

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 5>David, the rookie that has gotten the most headlines of

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 5>offseason is days on stripling. What can you tell us

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.199
<v Speaker 5>about his connection with Brock Purty throughout camp and how

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:39.559
<v Speaker 5>he looked yesterday against the Titans.

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he might be.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 4>The best receiver in the class guy as yesterday he

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 4>clearly looked better than Carnel Tait, who was the top

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 4>pick of the class, but he had the benefit of

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 4>a party throwing to him. And Purdy's been on fire

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 4>this training camp, so it's hard to make that comparison

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 4>when the situations are different. But if you just look

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 4>at the large picture of work and I go back

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 4>to college too. For Dejon Stribbling, he played in three

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 4>different systems, succeeded in all three. Showed at Oklahoma State

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 4>that he could run the intermediates and could separate on

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 4>just some of the garden variety routes ten to twenty

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 4>yards down the field showed an old miss that he

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 4>could run the go balls and could catch the screen

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 4>and run away from four to four corners that played

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 4>for Georgia. I mean you put on the highlight tape

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 4>there's a catch and run touchdown where Stribling runs away

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 4>from a corner who was drafted, who ran a four

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 4>to four to zero at the combine. So he's got

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.480
<v Speaker 4>legit four to three speed when the pads are on.

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 4>And then you look at him now performing in camp

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 4>and you see the size, you see the six to

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 4>three heigh, you see the muscle he's separating. He could

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 4>generate separation outside of the scheme. You know, him and

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Mike Evans are the two guys that Piersoll was able

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 4>to do that. But he's hurt now, so he could

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 4>really beat man coverage. And more important than anything is

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 4>the fact that he catches everything that's thrown his way.

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 3>He only dropped one pass.

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Last year at Ole Miss. He hasn't dropped anything yet

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 4>over the course of training camp and another day, Leonard Hankerson,

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 4>the receivers coach, he just mentioned that one thing that

0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 4>sold the fort andres on daj On Stribbling was that

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 4>he would not back down from trying to cross sift

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 4>block Rubin Bain, an edge rusher defensive end who went

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 4>number fifteen overall to Tampa Bay who's about forty to

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 4>fifty pounds heavier than him in college. And apparently the

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 4>fort Anders fell in love with Dribbling when they saw

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 4>that toughness because it showed them that he can run

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 4>block in their system, and two showed them that this

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 4>guy could probably run over the middle of the field

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 4>and hold on to the football because he has the

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 4>guts to try to get in there and block somebody

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 4>who's fifty pounds heavier than him.

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 3>And all of the things that.

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 4>They kind of scouted have showed up on the field

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.360
<v Speaker 4>so far. So now we have to see it carry

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 4>over the games. But every indication is that he's the

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 4>real deal at this point.

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, that's having a great camp for sure.

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.079
<v Speaker 2>He were talking to David Lombardi at the s F Standard,

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 2>who curse covers the fort Nars comprehensively read him at

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 2>s F standard dot com. There's so many different things

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 2>we can ask you about, but just in the final

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>few minutes here, just look at the running back depth chart,

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>because obviously we know about Christian McCaffrey, and I don't

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 2>know if you feel about him being held out, if

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 2>that's okay, if you know he's he's sent Ferrari Maserati.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 2>We're so sensitive to his every tweak, but behind him,

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, we were so excited about Kaylon Black the

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>first few days of camp. I don't know what his

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 2>status is. You know, Jordan James, at the end of

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>last year, there was a hope that he would flash,

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 2>but he has that rib thing, So just tell him

0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>to fill us in a little bit on the running

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>back depth chart situation, you know for the next four weeks.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, you mentioned earlier Kean White, he actually has a

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 4>similar injury. It's an a doctor. It's a core muscle

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 4>injury as Kaylon Black. So based on my understanding that

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 4>that'll take a few weeks, it's already been a little

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 4>bit of time for both of those players. So they

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 4>I think they hope that to have him by week one,

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 4>although I haven't fully.

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Confirmed that yet.

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 4>And Jordan James, I would expect back by by week one,

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 4>probably even earlier. For sure, that's a fractured rib, so

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more straightforward than the aductor injury. Those

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 4>are tough injuries for the forty nine ERDs. They were

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 4>running with only three running backs for the joint practice yesterday.

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Kalil Herbert actually had a couple nice cuts and runs.

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.959
<v Speaker 4>And they've got Patrick Taylor Junior, who has been in

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 4>the system here for a couple of years now, and

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Sincere McCormick, who's been a practice squad running back for

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 4>the team. I wouldn't worry about McCaffrey. I think that

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.560
<v Speaker 4>they're more than happy with the work that he's already

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 4>put in, and then he's going to be ready to

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 4>go for Week one based on what he's already done.

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 4>Timing wise with the offense. Now, it's a matter of

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 4>management for McCaffrey. Think that the plan proved to be

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 4>really good for him last year. He was able to

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 4>give him four hundred and thirteen touches and he has

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 4>looked even more explosive than last year. And I think

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 4>it's because he's got a year removed from the Achilles

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 4>tendonitis in twenty twenty four, So even though he's gotten older,

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 4>he's further away from the really troublesome injury in twenty

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 4>twenty four, and I would expect Christian McCaffrey to have

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 4>a big year, but you do need to manage it right.

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 5>Then.

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 4>They've talked about the importance of that, which is why

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 4>they have Jordan James, why they have Kaylon Black, and

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna be opportunities for.

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Both of those guys. The key is to get healthy,

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 3>get back.

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 4>And one thing Klay Kubiak said the other day that

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 4>really resonated with me and said, you know, guys get

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 4>hurt in the league. The pros are able to be

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.440
<v Speaker 4>ready regardless. The pros are doing the film study behind

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.640
<v Speaker 4>the scenes, are taking mental reps and yeah, maybe it

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 4>will take him a week to knock off the rust.

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 4>But if Kaylon Black is who the forty Anders think

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 4>he is, even though he misses some of this training camp,

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 4>they think that he could still be a big positive

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 4>contributor for this team once he is back from the

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 4>doctor injury.

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd like to see him, so Dave listening to this,

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Given how you know Fortynards are not planning to play

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of stuff if any tomorrow night against

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 2>the Titans, what should a fort NFL fan look for

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow night?

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, last year they didn't play their starters in the

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 4>first preseason game.

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.119
<v Speaker 3>They never do with Kyle Shanahan.

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 4>They usually wait until the second game to play the

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 4>starters for a couple series, and then the third game

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:17.959
<v Speaker 4>to play them for a quarter.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Or maybe even a half.

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 4>But last year they played the Broncos, and the Broncos

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 4>put their starters out there and the forty nine Ers

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 4>ran there essentially a second team defense, which was a

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 4>ton of youngsters, especially last year. And I don't know

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 4>if you guys remember, but the first two drives where

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 4>that was the matchup Broncos won versus forty nine Ers rookies,

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 4>the forty nine Ers dominated Denver. Like Denver, I don't

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 4>don't even know if they picked up a first down.

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 4>The Denver media was freaking out, and I thought that

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 4>was a really, really good indication of things are gonna

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 4>go well for the forty nine ers this year if

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 4>they can stay healthy, and obviously they didn't, but the

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 4>youngsters for the forty nine Ers in that first preseason

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 4>game actually ended up playing really well early in the

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 4>season before all they happened and then they lost their

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 4>leaders and Bosa and Warners, So this might actually be

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more of a measuring stick for the

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 4>forty and ers depths, and then people want to give

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 4>it credit for because they do get to play the

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 4>first unit of an opposing team. The Titans are going

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 4>to play everybody. I know it's a young team, but

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 4>they did add quite a bit of talent this offseason.

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 4>I really like Robert sala as a coach, and I

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 4>think it should be a really interesting test for some

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 4>of the younger guys like a Jaden Douger, like Larry Wirth,

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 4>you know that we were talking about, and if they

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 4>can have similar success to what they did last year

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 4>in Denver for those first two possessions, that'd be a

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 4>big arrow up for the forty nine ers.

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Good stuff, man, it's that time.

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>We're finally ready to see those those guys in uniform

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>on the field tomorrow and then on we go. So

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 2>thanks for the time, love the coverage in the s

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>F Standard, and we'll chase you down the road.

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thanks David, Yeah, thank you. Guys.

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Have a good day, Yeah, David Lombardi, good connection too

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>with the Lombardi solid connection. Yeah, I mean listen, you

0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>know he's listen, Niners. There's some good stuff going on,

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the more we talk about this, this

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Raheem Morris dB connection. Maybe we'll see it flourish a

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Maybe we will. Jaden Duggar, Romello Height, get

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>to know these names. The fever back, feverback. I'm already
