Speaker 2: Thirty work on a Monday afternoon, Adam Copeland, Deep Hop,
Speaker 2: Danny Dunn. We were making the connection with Matt Mayoko,
Speaker 2: our forty Niners insider from NBC Sports Bay Area. We
Speaker 2: got the final preseason tilt for the Niners on Thursday,
Speaker 2: five o'clock kick off, two o'clock pregame. You can hear
Speaker 2: it on our sister station starting at two. Myself and
Speaker 2: John Dickinson the Niners and the Raiders in week three
Speaker 2: of the preseason.
Speaker 3: We made the connection. We got Dany.
Speaker 2: We made the connection with Matt Mayoko, our forty Dinner
Speaker 2: insider NBC Sports Barria Maple's going on?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, nothing much is going on today?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, what a bit of news to wake up to.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Deon Jones, Wow, yeah, yeah right.
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that didn't kill off the pup. I
Speaker 2: was like, what a bunch of news to talk about
Speaker 2: with Matt. I guess we'll start with the big story
Speaker 2: of the day, and that's around Jed York and his
Speaker 2: misdemeanor charge after his arrest I guess yesterday in eastern Ohio.
Speaker 2: Are there further details that need to be fleshed out here?
Speaker 2: I mean, is this thing for the most part complete?
Speaker 2: Is it comparable to anything we've seen in the NFL
Speaker 2: in terms of what sort of punishment he could be facing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. I mean from a legal standpoint, it's over. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was. It was taken care of in less than
Speaker 4: twenty four hours, you know, from the time that he
Speaker 4: was arrested at nine to thirty five am on you know,
Speaker 4: on a charge described as engaging in prostitution to you know,
Speaker 4: the legal wheels moving quickly and ultimately having that charge
Speaker 4: amended to disorderly conduct and pleading no contest to it.
Speaker 4: So from a legal standpoint, it's over. From the NFL standpoint,
Speaker 4: it's not over, because he is subject to the NFL's
Speaker 4: policy on personal conduct. And you know, the closest, probably
Speaker 4: most applicable comp to this would be robber Craft in
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, when he was charged and faced, you know,
Speaker 4: the charges of solicitation, but he pleaded not guilty and
Speaker 4: that was set for a trial, but ultimately that charge
Speaker 4: was dismissed because of a court ruling that pertained to
Speaker 4: the audio and video surveillance that was deemed unconstitutional, so
Speaker 4: that was thrown out. And if under the bylaws of
Speaker 4: the NFL, as far as the personal conduct policy, it's
Speaker 4: a there doesn't have to be a convict or anything
Speaker 4: of that nature to qualify for discipline, and Robert Craft
Speaker 4: did not was not convicted that, Like I said, the
Speaker 4: charges were dropped. Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the league,
Speaker 4: ultimately decided that no discipline was warranted. And to my knowledge,
Speaker 4: all Robert Craft did was he issued an apology public
Speaker 4: He apologized to the fellow owners at a league meeting.
Speaker 4: I understand, But what makes this difference with Jed Yorik
Speaker 4: is the no contest flee is basically akin to guilty.
Speaker 4: That's how the courts view it. So I would imagine
Speaker 4: that that will be taken into account when it's time
Speaker 4: for Roger Goodell to make a ruling on that, and
Speaker 4: I would think that you know, there is the possibility
Speaker 4: of a significant fine as well as also the possibility
Speaker 4: that he could be suspended for period of time, that
Speaker 4: he would have to stay away from the team. But
Speaker 4: all that now, all that can happen because because the
Speaker 4: legal process has already, albeit very quickly, ran its course.
Speaker 5: I don't view this impact in the football team, Matt,
Speaker 5: with the exception of Kyle and John maybe having to
Speaker 5: answer some questions. But how do you think this situation
Speaker 5: impacts Jed York's reputation as an owner in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Oh, It's it's an embarrassing situation. It's it's hugely embarrassing
Speaker 4: for Jed, the York family, the entire forty nine ers family.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, you know, I think Jed, you know,
Speaker 4: he was kind of viewed before the arrival of John
Speaker 4: Lynch and Kyle she Andahan, is you know, someone who
Speaker 4: liked the limelight a little bit and talked a lot
Speaker 4: and puts stuff out on social media. He's taken really
Speaker 4: a back seat in his role as a principal owner
Speaker 4: of the team, and even before that, as the CEO
Speaker 4: the team. He's really just kind of backed off and
Speaker 4: let John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan handle the football stuff.
Speaker 4: The only time I can remember him being involved was
Speaker 4: the off season where the forty nine ers opened opened
Speaker 4: the free agent signing period with a very much a
Speaker 4: splash signing, one that didn't turn out all that well,
Speaker 4: but they paid big money for Javon Hargrave and it
Speaker 4: was at a time when the Airs were kind of
Speaker 4: up against the cap and John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 4: talked amongst themselves and said, boy, this is a guy
Speaker 4: that could really help us. So they went to get
Speaker 4: owner approval to basically rip up the budget the team
Speaker 4: had put forward, and Jed York said, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 4: You know, from a football standpoint, he signed off on,
Speaker 4: you know, some additions to the strength and conditioning staff,
Speaker 4: the human performance staff, as well as you know, some
Speaker 4: hydrotherapy areas investing. What the for Aerans have said is
Speaker 4: nine million dollars. I think John Lynch said that. But
Speaker 4: you know, as far as his day to day dealings
Speaker 4: with the football team minimal, you know, there there's not much.
Speaker 4: They have plenty of people from the coaching staff to
Speaker 4: the front office personnel department that handles the football site.
Speaker 4: So that side of it we'll run smoothly. As you mentioned,
Speaker 4: I don't think there will be any impact on the
Speaker 4: football team. However, you know, perception becomes reality. You know,
Speaker 4: four and hos get off to a bad starter, they
Speaker 4: have a bad season. We all know that a lot
Speaker 4: of people will be pointing the finger at Jed York
Speaker 4: for creating a distraction.
Speaker 3: That may ill go.
Speaker 2: Our forty nine Ers insider from NBC Sports Bay Area
Speaker 2: joins us as he does every Monday on the UMA
Speaker 2: gesk Line, transitioning him too some on field football stuff.
Speaker 2: I talked to you on Thursday and our forty nine
Speaker 2: our pregame show, and you had talked about George Kittle
Speaker 2: and his positivity around coming back and starting to ramp
Speaker 2: up a little closer to being able play. You said
Speaker 2: he'd have to come off the pup, likely this week
Speaker 2: if he were in play to play Week one. That
Speaker 2: has now happened. So what does this mean, what's the
Speaker 2: track to him getting back on the field, and how
Speaker 2: legitimate are his chances of.
Speaker 3: Playing Week one?
Speaker 4: Well, this certainly is part of that process. If there
Speaker 4: was any chance of him playing Week one, this would
Speaker 4: have been about the time frame to get out there.
Speaker 4: So he did put on pads on Sunday, did not
Speaker 4: take part in any eleven on eleven stuff. It's all
Speaker 4: been very controlled and that's part of the reason why
Speaker 4: seven months and nine days later from undergoing the surgery
Speaker 4: to repairs torn achilles tendon, he's been able to make
Speaker 4: this remarkable recovery to get back on the field. Now,
Speaker 4: the thing that I would say is that this is
Speaker 4: clearly a positive sign for George Kittle and his recovery
Speaker 4: from such a dramatic injury. But it doesn't mean week
Speaker 4: one he's going to Australia. He's going to play in
Speaker 4: that game. You know, the way George talked when he
Speaker 4: last spoke to us was, you know, he said he
Speaker 4: was noncommittal about week one. He was very committal. He
Speaker 4: was very committed about not starting the season on PUP.
Speaker 4: So now we know he's definitely not starting the season
Speaker 4: on PUP. But he also kind of introduced, or you
Speaker 4: know what I asked him about, if you're not going
Speaker 4: to play in the game, do you go to Australia,
Speaker 4: And he said that would not make any sense, that
Speaker 4: wouldn't make much sense to take travel to Australia. He
Speaker 4: also kind of introduced, like, hey, you know, you got
Speaker 4: to don't be a dumb ass was what he said.
Speaker 4: But he also said, you know it's okay, it's okay
Speaker 4: to play week two and if that gives you a
Speaker 4: better chance of being healthy for the entire season. So
Speaker 4: there there are no knowns. You know, we don't know
Speaker 4: how it's going to react, but there is plenty of
Speaker 4: data and anecdotal evidence for football players coming back from
Speaker 4: torn achilles. And I'm not saying this to be you know,
Speaker 4: a wise acre here, but there is zero precedence for
Speaker 4: a guy coming off an achilles injury and then traveling
Speaker 4: to Australia to play a football game, yes, and then
Speaker 4: traveling back from Australia. And the reason is because it's
Speaker 4: never happened forty Nite or the NFL has never played
Speaker 4: a regular season game in Australia. So I don't think
Speaker 4: anybody knows for sure how he would respond, how that
Speaker 4: Achilles would respond to being in the air for sixteen hours,
Speaker 4: being there in Melbourne for a week, and then playing
Speaker 4: a football game and then flying back. So I personally think,
Speaker 4: and this is just a guess, that the forty nine
Speaker 4: ers are very much toward not having him play in
Speaker 4: that game, and that way, you just give him more time,
Speaker 4: you give him ten extra days where he can stay
Speaker 4: in the Bay Area, continue to work on his cardio,
Speaker 4: his strength training, you know, his flexibility, everything, just recovery,
Speaker 4: physical therapy, all that stuff. And then also it avoids
Speaker 4: thirty two, thirty three, thirty four hours of flight time
Speaker 4: over a one week period. So it just seems to me,
Speaker 4: because of the unknowns, that that is probably, well not
Speaker 4: probably is without question, it's a safer play. And if
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers that George Kittill come together and
Speaker 4: they agree that the best chance of having him for
Speaker 4: a full season, you know, sixteen game season that he
Speaker 4: would a play week one, would be to stay home.
Speaker 4: I think that's the way they'll go.
Speaker 5: We saw Christian McCaffrey hit the practice field for the
Speaker 5: first time in a while yesterday and he said that
Speaker 5: there's some tightness, but it was all part of the plan,
Speaker 5: no holding, no contract situation. Have you seen a different
Speaker 5: approach from Kyle Shanahan this training camp when it comes
Speaker 5: to his veterans, whether it's Christian McCaffrey or Nick Bosa
Speaker 5: being cautious in their their timeline and practice and everything.
Speaker 4: Well, I think I've seen a complete, you know change
Speaker 4: in philosophy overall. You know, the way they've structured the practices.
Speaker 4: You know, he used to be three practices in a row,
Speaker 4: a day off and three practices in a row. Now
Speaker 4: the way they're doing it is it's, you know, two
Speaker 4: practices basically a jogg through day, so a very very
Speaker 4: light practice and then another practice and then a day off.
Speaker 4: So they are changing that up, But it does seem
Speaker 4: like with McCaffrey. McCaffrey did say, you know, when asked
Speaker 4: kind of in a roundabout way, you know, about the
Speaker 4: contract stuff, he did say that he realizes anytime he's
Speaker 4: not practicing, there's going to be a firestorm. But he
Speaker 4: said that that was part of the plan, was to
Speaker 4: ramp up because he you know, if it really was
Speaker 4: some sort of contract thing, to me, that made no
Speaker 4: sense because everybody knew that John Robinson and Jami or
Speaker 4: Gibbs were going to sign contracts. So if there was
Speaker 4: a hold in situation, why would Christian McCaffrey have been
Speaker 4: out there for the first ten days of training camp.
Speaker 4: That made no sense. Not to say that they aren't
Speaker 4: working on something behind the scenes, they very well might be,
Speaker 4: but that that part of it didn't make a whole
Speaker 4: lot of sense. Just didn't say, Oh, he's practiced for
Speaker 4: ten days and now all of a sudden he's doing
Speaker 4: a hold in. Well, I'll take him at face value.
Speaker 4: He said it was part of the plan to have
Speaker 4: that ramp up, kind of back off, and then ramp
Speaker 4: back up for the regular season. But I do think
Speaker 4: that they are They're doing everything they can, trying to
Speaker 4: do some new things as far as limiting the risk
Speaker 4: of injuries, and I do think that there have been
Speaker 4: throughout training camp some injuries that have kept guys out
Speaker 4: that maybe in previous years and maybe even in other
Speaker 4: teams training camps wouldn't be keeping guys out. Because the
Speaker 4: ultimate goal is for guys like McCaffrey and Bosa and
Speaker 4: Mike Evans and everybody else to just make sure that
Speaker 4: the guys who are going to be counted on to
Speaker 4: be big time contributors are ready to go when the
Speaker 4: regular season starts.
Speaker 2: Mat Mayoko, the Voice You Hear our NBC sports bearer,
Speaker 2: a forty nine Ers insider, joined us on the UMER
Speaker 2: guest line. One of the debates Derek and I've been
Speaker 2: having for the last couple of shows is about how
Speaker 2: the receiver room for the Niners shits out now. It
Speaker 2: looks a little different now with some of the injuries
Speaker 2: they faced. Jacob Cowing looked really good last week, but
Speaker 2: Kyle did note Who's one punt return that he lost
Speaker 2: in the lights and liked the punt return for a touchdown,
Speaker 2: but said he had not locked up the job yet.
Speaker 2: Watkins has looked really good. But I'm wondering about Christian
Speaker 2: Kirk and where he falls into all this. Are we
Speaker 2: trending towards like an injury designation to start the season
Speaker 2: for him and then that would open up that final
Speaker 2: spot for Cowing? Could he still make the team even
Speaker 2: though he hasn't really practiced or been healthy. Where are
Speaker 2: we right now with Christian Kirk?
Speaker 4: My guess is because it's an injury, a calf injury
Speaker 4: that he also sustained in the offseason program. I'm with you.
Speaker 4: I think that the way this is trending would be
Speaker 4: that he opens the season on injured reserve and then
Speaker 4: that eliminates him from possibility of playing the first four
Speaker 4: games of the year. But in the meantime, you know,
Speaker 4: it gives them a five weeks basically to determine when
Speaker 4: they bring him back. If they bring him back, if
Speaker 4: there's an opening, you know, the friends. Let's say said
Speaker 4: every team there will be some injuries at wide receiver
Speaker 4: and across different position groups that will that will force
Speaker 4: the team to dip into players who aren't on the
Speaker 4: fifty three, whether it's practice squad or guys coming off
Speaker 4: of R or pup. So that would be my guess
Speaker 4: that they're going to take it very cautiously with Christian
Speaker 4: Kirk and have him open the season on the ir list,
Speaker 4: which would enable them in essence, to keep seven wide
Speaker 4: receivers without exposing anybody any one of those two waivers.
Speaker 4: So the guys that I would say, you know, the
Speaker 4: three top wide receivers are quite clearly Mike Evans, Dejon
Speaker 4: stribling In, Deebo Samuel. After that, if if Jacob Cowing
Speaker 4: wins the job punt returner, he's on the team. And
Speaker 4: then I think Jordan Watkins has done more than enough
Speaker 4: to make the team, especially at his age, the speed
Speaker 4: he has just a greater upside. You know, a guy
Speaker 4: who's still under contract for this year and two more
Speaker 4: years after this, so I think they have to keep him.
Speaker 4: And then I think DeMarcus Robinson is a logical choice
Speaker 4: for one of the wide receivers as well. How he
Speaker 4: fits in a little debatable, I guess if everybody's healthy.
Speaker 4: But I would think that those would be the the
Speaker 4: six guys that they keep. And they do have some
Speaker 4: guys who you know, certainly aren't household names, and you know,
Speaker 4: guys that I think the team likes and like to
Speaker 4: keep around in some capacity more than likely practice squad.
Speaker 4: And those would be guys like Malik Turner, Will Pauling
Speaker 4: as a rookie, Trenton Irwin has done some good things.
Speaker 4: He's a veteran, as is Kadero Hudds. So they do
Speaker 4: have some pieces there, kind of you know, they have
Speaker 4: their top, top line guys, and then they have some
Speaker 4: guys at the bottom of the roster who are pretty
Speaker 4: decent players too that in the right situations could help out.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I would think that Christian Kirk is somebody
Speaker 4: that want to keep around and there is zero urgency
Speaker 4: to get him on the field when you look at
Speaker 4: the entire wide receiver's numbers.
Speaker 5: Game Cole More minutes with Matt Mayoko on the UMA
Speaker 5: guest line, what do you make of the left guard
Speaker 5: situation right now.
Speaker 4: Matt Well, I think that anytime you have four people
Speaker 4: competing for one job, that means you don't have anybody
Speaker 4: for that job. And it's you know, it was a
Speaker 4: it was a two person competition, became the three person competition,
Speaker 4: became a four person competition, and then with injuries to
Speaker 4: Robert Jones and Austin Pleasants, it's back to a two
Speaker 4: person competition between Carver Willis and Connor Colby. So, uh,
Speaker 4: Connor Colby had the the opening. You know, he had
Speaker 4: a good offseason. Pads went on, things didn't look quite
Speaker 4: as good, and so they introduced Robert Jones into uh,
Speaker 4: into that picture. I think the way it looks right now,
Speaker 4: I mean when when I saw Austin Pleasants out there
Speaker 4: playing taking snaps in the preseason game, I thought, you
Speaker 4: know what, he's going to be the guy. He's going
Speaker 4: to be the starter left guard, isn't he? And then
Speaker 4: he gets injured. I don't know the extent of that.
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like it's a long, long term thing,
Speaker 4: but we'll see. I think the forty nine ers d
Speaker 4: others would be that Carver Willis, the fourth round pick,
Speaker 4: is able to show and not that he can start
Speaker 4: the season as the guy. But uh, you know, I
Speaker 4: also think that it could very well be a situation
Speaker 4: like last year where you know, there was no clear
Speaker 4: cut starter, that they kind of had a left guard
Speaker 4: by committee kind of thing where you know, they went
Speaker 4: some games just rotating guys in. I know that Chris
Speaker 4: Furster is not adverse to that. Clearly, that's not the
Speaker 4: best case scenario. You want somebody who's just gonna lock
Speaker 4: it down and be your player. But I think the
Speaker 4: Fremers are gonna have to hold that thing together with
Speaker 4: with barbed wire and and uh, you know, just bailing
Speaker 4: wire to get that thing settled. I don't think there's
Speaker 4: a there's not a clear cutting answer right now.
Speaker 5: And then lastly, Matt, how was Keys Are a Pub
Speaker 5: on Saturday Night with Rod Brooks?
Speaker 4: It was great love keys Are Pub. I had a
Speaker 4: couple of guinnesses had that thank for it. Yeah, it's

Speaker 4: I did invite the world.
Speaker 3: That's right. I should have come over there. It wasn't
Speaker 3: gonna make the drive.

Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: We got the final Niners preseason game Thursday, pregame at
Speaker 2: two o'clock over our sister station, KSFO eight ten. Myself
Speaker 2: and John Dickinson did going at two o'clock. Derek and
Speaker 2: Rick Tittle, we'll have you for dirty work on the Thursday.
Speaker 5: Did you and Mag get into it last Thursday about
Speaker 5: the whole Keysar pub situation.
Speaker 3: We didn't talk.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think we talked it. He might have
Speaker 2: riffed on it a little bit, but we didn't talk
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 5: So Matt reported that the Niners going to hold a
Speaker 5: practice at Keysar Stadium.
Speaker 2: And then he you know, he's our stadium, and then
Speaker 2: he said he got some bad intel.
Speaker 5: I got some guts a bad intel, but then said
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be the regardless of.
Speaker 2: Said I'm standing on it, I'm I'm just gonna stand
Speaker 2: on that anyway.
Speaker 3: Albeit, Keysar at this TI with.
Speaker 5: One of his tweets THEO where he was like, you
Speaker 5: know what, I'm just gonna drive out there and just
Speaker 5: stand on Keysar Stadium, just be like, where.
Speaker 3: The hell's the team?
Speaker 2: So he tweeted out on I guess it was Friday.
Speaker 2: He said, Hey, me and Rod Brooks are going to
Speaker 2: get beers and keys our pub, come online and hang
Speaker 2: out and talk some niners. Good stuff and probably a
Speaker 2: fun hang for whoever made it out to hang with.
Speaker 2: Matt and Rod Brooks also want to remind everybody our
