<v Speaker 2>Danny Dunn. We were making the connection with Matt Mayoko,

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 2>our forty Niners insider from NBC Sports Bay Area. We

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>got the final preseason tilt for the Niners on Thursday,

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>five o'clock kick off, two o'clock pregame. You can hear

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 2>it on our sister station starting at two. Myself and

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 2>John Dickinson the Niners and the Raiders in week three

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of the preseason.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 3>We made the connection. We got Dany.

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>We made the connection with Matt Mayoko, our forty Dinner

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>insider NBC Sports Barria Maple's going on?

0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 3>How are you?

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Yeah, nothing much is going on today?

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Man, what a bit of news to wake up to.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Deon Jones, Wow, yeah, yeah right.

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't believe that didn't kill off the pup. I

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>was like, what a bunch of news to talk about

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>with Matt. I guess we'll start with the big story

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 2>of the day, and that's around Jed York and his

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>misdemeanor charge after his arrest I guess yesterday in eastern Ohio.

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Are there further details that need to be fleshed out here?

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is this thing for the most part complete?

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Is it comparable to anything we've seen in the NFL

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what sort of punishment he could be facing?

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think. I mean from a legal standpoint, it's over. Yeah,

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 4>it was. It was taken care of in less than

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 4>twenty four hours, you know, from the time that he

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 4>was arrested at nine to thirty five am on you know,

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 4>on a charge described as engaging in prostitution to you know,

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>the legal wheels moving quickly and ultimately having that charge

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 4>amended to disorderly conduct and pleading no contest to it.

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 4>So from a legal standpoint, it's over. From the NFL standpoint,

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 4>it's not over, because he is subject to the NFL's

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 4>policy on personal conduct. And you know, the closest, probably

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>most applicable comp to this would be robber Craft in

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 4>twenty nineteen, when he was charged and faced, you know,

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 4>the charges of solicitation, but he pleaded not guilty and

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 4>that was set for a trial, but ultimately that charge

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 4>was dismissed because of a court ruling that pertained to

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 4>the audio and video surveillance that was deemed unconstitutional, so

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 4>that was thrown out. And if under the bylaws of

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 4>the NFL, as far as the personal conduct policy, it's

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 4>a there doesn't have to be a convict or anything

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 4>of that nature to qualify for discipline, and Robert Craft

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 4>did not was not convicted that, Like I said, the

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 4>charges were dropped. Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the league,

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:19.399
<v Speaker 4>ultimately decided that no discipline was warranted. And to my knowledge,

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 4>all Robert Craft did was he issued an apology public

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 4>He apologized to the fellow owners at a league meeting.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 4>I understand, But what makes this difference with Jed Yorik

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 4>is the no contest flee is basically akin to guilty.

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 4>That's how the courts view it. So I would imagine

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 4>that that will be taken into account when it's time

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 4>for Roger Goodell to make a ruling on that, and

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 4>I would think that you know, there is the possibility

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 4>of a significant fine as well as also the possibility

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 4>that he could be suspended for period of time, that

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 4>he would have to stay away from the team. But

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 4>all that now, all that can happen because because the

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 4>legal process has already, albeit very quickly, ran its course.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't view this impact in the football team, Matt,

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 5>with the exception of Kyle and John maybe having to

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 5>answer some questions. But how do you think this situation

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 5>impacts Jed York's reputation as an owner in the NFL.

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 4>Oh, It's it's an embarrassing situation. It's it's hugely embarrassing

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>for Jed, the York family, the entire forty nine ers family.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I mean, you know, I think Jed, you know,

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 4>he was kind of viewed before the arrival of John

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 4>Lynch and Kyle she Andahan, is you know, someone who

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 4>liked the limelight a little bit and talked a lot

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 4>and puts stuff out on social media. He's taken really

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 4>a back seat in his role as a principal owner

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 4>of the team, and even before that, as the CEO

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 4>the team. He's really just kind of backed off and

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 4>let John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan handle the football stuff.

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 4>The only time I can remember him being involved was

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 4>the off season where the forty nine ers opened opened

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 4>the free agent signing period with a very much a

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 4>splash signing, one that didn't turn out all that well,

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 4>but they paid big money for Javon Hargrave and it

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 4>was at a time when the Airs were kind of

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 4>up against the cap and John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 4>talked amongst themselves and said, boy, this is a guy

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 4>that could really help us. So they went to get

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:42.160
<v Speaker 4>owner approval to basically rip up the budget the team

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 4>had put forward, and Jed York said, yeah, let's do it.

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, from a football standpoint, he signed off on,

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, some additions to the strength and conditioning staff,

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 4>the human performance staff, as well as you know, some

0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 4>hydrotherapy areas investing. What the for Aerans have said is

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 4>nine million dollars. I think John Lynch said that. But

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 4>you know, as far as his day to day dealings

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 4>with the football team minimal, you know, there there's not much.

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 4>They have plenty of people from the coaching staff to

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 4>the front office personnel department that handles the football site.

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 4>So that side of it we'll run smoothly. As you mentioned,

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 4>I don't think there will be any impact on the

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 4>football team. However, you know, perception becomes reality. You know,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 4>four and hos get off to a bad starter, they

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 4>have a bad season. We all know that a lot

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.119
<v Speaker 4>of people will be pointing the finger at Jed York

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 4>for creating a distraction.

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 3>That may ill go.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Our forty nine Ers insider from NBC Sports Bay Area

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>joins us as he does every Monday on the UMA

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>gesk Line, transitioning him too some on field football stuff.

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I talked to you on Thursday and our forty nine

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 2>our pregame show, and you had talked about George Kittle

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.719
<v Speaker 2>and his positivity around coming back and starting to ramp

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>up a little closer to being able play. You said

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 2>he'd have to come off the pup, likely this week

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>if he were in play to play Week one. That

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>has now happened. So what does this mean, what's the

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 2>track to him getting back on the field, and how

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>legitimate are his chances of.

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Playing Week one?

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, this certainly is part of that process. If there

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 4>was any chance of him playing Week one, this would

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 4>have been about the time frame to get out there.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 4>So he did put on pads on Sunday, did not

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 4>take part in any eleven on eleven stuff. It's all

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 4>been very controlled and that's part of the reason why

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 4>seven months and nine days later from undergoing the surgery

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 4>to repairs torn achilles tendon, he's been able to make

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 4>this remarkable recovery to get back on the field. Now,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 4>the thing that I would say is that this is

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 4>clearly a positive sign for George Kittle and his recovery

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 4>from such a dramatic injury. But it doesn't mean week

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 4>one he's going to Australia. He's going to play in

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 4>that game. You know, the way George talked when he

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 4>last spoke to us was, you know, he said he

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 4>was noncommittal about week one. He was very committal. He

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 4>was very committed about not starting the season on PUP.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 4>So now we know he's definitely not starting the season

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 4>on PUP. But he also kind of introduced, or you

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 4>know what I asked him about, if you're not going

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 4>to play in the game, do you go to Australia,

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 4>And he said that would not make any sense, that

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't make much sense to take travel to Australia. He

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 4>also kind of introduced, like, hey, you know, you got

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 4>to don't be a dumb ass was what he said.

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 4>But he also said, you know it's okay, it's okay

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 4>to play week two and if that gives you a

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 4>better chance of being healthy for the entire season. So

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 4>there there are no knowns. You know, we don't know

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 4>how it's going to react, but there is plenty of

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 4>data and anecdotal evidence for football players coming back from

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:13.319
<v Speaker 4>torn achilles. And I'm not saying this to be you know,

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 4>a wise acre here, but there is zero precedence for

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 4>a guy coming off an achilles injury and then traveling

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 4>to Australia to play a football game, yes, and then

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 4>traveling back from Australia. And the reason is because it's

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 4>never happened forty Nite or the NFL has never played

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 4>a regular season game in Australia. So I don't think

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 4>anybody knows for sure how he would respond, how that

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Achilles would respond to being in the air for sixteen hours,

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 4>being there in Melbourne for a week, and then playing

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 4>a football game and then flying back. So I personally think,

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 4>and this is just a guess, that the forty nine

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 4>ers are very much toward not having him play in

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 4>that game, and that way, you just give him more time,

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 4>you give him ten extra days where he can stay

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.439
<v Speaker 4>in the Bay Area, continue to work on his cardio,

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 4>his strength training, you know, his flexibility, everything, just recovery,

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.719
<v Speaker 4>physical therapy, all that stuff. And then also it avoids

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 4>thirty two, thirty three, thirty four hours of flight time

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 4>over a one week period. So it just seems to me,

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 4>because of the unknowns, that that is probably, well not

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 4>probably is without question, it's a safer play. And if

0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 4>the forty nine ers that George Kittill come together and

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 4>they agree that the best chance of having him for

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.959
<v Speaker 4>a full season, you know, sixteen game season that he

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 4>would a play week one, would be to stay home.

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 4>I think that's the way they'll go.

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 5>We saw Christian McCaffrey hit the practice field for the

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 5>first time in a while yesterday and he said that

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 5>there's some tightness, but it was all part of the plan,

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 5>no holding, no contract situation. Have you seen a different

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 5>approach from Kyle Shanahan this training camp when it comes

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 5>to his veterans, whether it's Christian McCaffrey or Nick Bosa

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 5>being cautious in their their timeline and practice and everything.

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think I've seen a complete, you know change

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 4>in philosophy overall. You know, the way they've structured the practices.

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, he used to be three practices in a row,

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 4>a day off and three practices in a row. Now

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 4>the way they're doing it is it's, you know, two

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>practices basically a jogg through day, so a very very

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 4>light practice and then another practice and then a day off.

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.959
<v Speaker 4>So they are changing that up, But it does seem

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 4>like with McCaffrey. McCaffrey did say, you know, when asked

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 4>kind of in a roundabout way, you know, about the

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 4>contract stuff, he did say that he realizes anytime he's

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 4>not practicing, there's going to be a firestorm. But he

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 4>said that that was part of the plan, was to

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 4>ramp up because he you know, if it really was

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 4>some sort of contract thing, to me, that made no

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 4>sense because everybody knew that John Robinson and Jami or

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 4>Gibbs were going to sign contracts. So if there was

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 4>a hold in situation, why would Christian McCaffrey have been

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 4>out there for the first ten days of training camp.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 4>That made no sense. Not to say that they aren't

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 4>working on something behind the scenes, they very well might be,

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 4>but that that part of it didn't make a whole

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 4>lot of sense. Just didn't say, Oh, he's practiced for

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 4>ten days and now all of a sudden he's doing

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 4>a hold in. Well, I'll take him at face value.

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 4>He said it was part of the plan to have

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 4>that ramp up, kind of back off, and then ramp

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 4>back up for the regular season. But I do think

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 4>that they are They're doing everything they can, trying to

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.679
<v Speaker 4>do some new things as far as limiting the risk

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 4>of injuries, and I do think that there have been

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 4>throughout training camp some injuries that have kept guys out

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 4>that maybe in previous years and maybe even in other

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 4>teams training camps wouldn't be keeping guys out. Because the

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.959
<v Speaker 4>ultimate goal is for guys like McCaffrey and Bosa and

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 4>Mike Evans and everybody else to just make sure that

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 4>the guys who are going to be counted on to

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 4>be big time contributors are ready to go when the

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 4>regular season starts.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Mat Mayoko, the Voice You Hear our NBC sports bearer,

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 2>a forty nine Ers insider, joined us on the UMER

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>guest line. One of the debates Derek and I've been

0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 2>having for the last couple of shows is about how

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the receiver room for the Niners shits out now. It

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.680
<v Speaker 2>looks a little different now with some of the injuries

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:37.199
<v Speaker 2>they faced. Jacob Cowing looked really good last week, but

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Kyle did note Who's one punt return that he lost

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>in the lights and liked the punt return for a touchdown,

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 2>but said he had not locked up the job yet.

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Watkins has looked really good. But I'm wondering about Christian

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Kirk and where he falls into all this. Are we

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>trending towards like an injury designation to start the season

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 2>for him and then that would open up that final

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 2>spot for Cowing? Could he still make the team even

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 2>though he hasn't really practiced or been healthy. Where are

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 2>we right now with Christian Kirk?

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 4>My guess is because it's an injury, a calf injury

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 4>that he also sustained in the offseason program. I'm with you.

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 4>I think that the way this is trending would be

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 4>that he opens the season on injured reserve and then

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.120
<v Speaker 4>that eliminates him from possibility of playing the first four

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 4>games of the year. But in the meantime, you know,

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 4>it gives them a five weeks basically to determine when

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 4>they bring him back. If they bring him back, if

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 4>there's an opening, you know, the friends. Let's say said

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 4>every team there will be some injuries at wide receiver

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 4>and across different position groups that will that will force

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 4>the team to dip into players who aren't on the

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 4>fifty three, whether it's practice squad or guys coming off

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 4>of R or pup. So that would be my guess

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 4>that they're going to take it very cautiously with Christian

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Kirk and have him open the season on the ir list,

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 4>which would enable them in essence, to keep seven wide

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 4>receivers without exposing anybody any one of those two waivers.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 4>So the guys that I would say, you know, the

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 4>three top wide receivers are quite clearly Mike Evans, Dejon

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 4>stribling In, Deebo Samuel. After that, if if Jacob Cowing

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 4>wins the job punt returner, he's on the team. And

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 4>then I think Jordan Watkins has done more than enough

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 4>to make the team, especially at his age, the speed

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 4>he has just a greater upside. You know, a guy

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 4>who's still under contract for this year and two more

0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 4>years after this, so I think they have to keep him.

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 4>And then I think DeMarcus Robinson is a logical choice

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 4>for one of the wide receivers as well. How he

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 4>fits in a little debatable, I guess if everybody's healthy.

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 4>But I would think that those would be the the

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 4>six guys that they keep. And they do have some

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 4>guys who you know, certainly aren't household names, and you know,

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 4>guys that I think the team likes and like to

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 4>keep around in some capacity more than likely practice squad.

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 4>And those would be guys like Malik Turner, Will Pauling

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 4>as a rookie, Trenton Irwin has done some good things.

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 4>He's a veteran, as is Kadero Hudds. So they do

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 4>have some pieces there, kind of you know, they have

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 4>their top, top line guys, and then they have some

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 4>guys at the bottom of the roster who are pretty

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 4>decent players too that in the right situations could help out.

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I would think that Christian Kirk is somebody

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 4>that want to keep around and there is zero urgency

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.560
<v Speaker 4>to get him on the field when you look at

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 4>the entire wide receiver's numbers.

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 5>Game Cole More minutes with Matt Mayoko on the UMA

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 5>guest line, what do you make of the left guard

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 5>situation right now.

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 4>Matt Well, I think that anytime you have four people

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 4>competing for one job, that means you don't have anybody

0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 4>for that job. And it's you know, it was a

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 4>it was a two person competition, became the three person competition,

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 4>became a four person competition, and then with injuries to

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Robert Jones and Austin Pleasants, it's back to a two

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.399
<v Speaker 4>person competition between Carver Willis and Connor Colby. So, uh,

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.479
<v Speaker 4>Connor Colby had the the opening. You know, he had

0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 4>a good offseason. Pads went on, things didn't look quite

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:27.360
<v Speaker 4>as good, and so they introduced Robert Jones into uh,

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 4>into that picture. I think the way it looks right now,

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 4>I mean when when I saw Austin Pleasants out there

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 4>playing taking snaps in the preseason game, I thought, you

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 4>know what, he's going to be the guy. He's going

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 4>to be the starter left guard, isn't he? And then

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 4>he gets injured. I don't know the extent of that.

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't sound like it's a long, long term thing,

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 4>but we'll see. I think the forty nine ers d

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 4>others would be that Carver Willis, the fourth round pick,

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 4>is able to show and not that he can start

0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 4>the season as the guy. But uh, you know, I

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 4>also think that it could very well be a situation

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 4>like last year where you know, there was no clear

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 4>cut starter, that they kind of had a left guard

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 4>by committee kind of thing where you know, they went

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 4>some games just rotating guys in. I know that Chris

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 4>Furster is not adverse to that. Clearly, that's not the

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.600
<v Speaker 4>best case scenario. You want somebody who's just gonna lock

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 4>it down and be your player. But I think the

0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 4>Fremers are gonna have to hold that thing together with

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.360
<v Speaker 4>with barbed wire and and uh, you know, just bailing

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 4>wire to get that thing settled. I don't think there's

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 4>a there's not a clear cutting answer right now.

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 5>And then lastly, Matt, how was Keys Are a Pub

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:46.640

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 4>It was great love keys Are Pub. I had a

<v Speaker 4>I did invite the world.

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 3>That's right. I should have come over there. It wasn't

<v Speaker 3>gonna make the drive.

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.119
