Speaker 1: Oh right.
Speaker 2: We are now joined on sports Phone KMBR by the
Speaker 2: one and only Brian Peacock of Lockdown forty nine Ers.
Speaker 1: Brian, what's going on man? How are you doing?
Speaker 3: Oh? I'm doing fantastic. I'm in better health than most
Speaker 3: of the San Francisco forty nine ers roster two weeks
Speaker 3: into camp, so can't complain.
Speaker 2: Although the memes have been incredible in the substation Twitter account,
Speaker 2: which I think got shut down once and then has
Speaker 2: since started up anew, I don't understand how they're already
Speaker 2: down twenty players after what feels like, you know, a
Speaker 2: week and a half since the true started camp. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is I mean, you want to laugh because it
Speaker 2: is so absurd, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Not laughing at them. I'm just laughing at.
Speaker 2: The ridiculousness of this situation because I was thinking to myself,
Speaker 2: you know, it's been an anomaly, it can't happen again,
Speaker 2: and it's happening at.
Speaker 1: An earlier rate than previously. I just it's stunning.
Speaker 3: It's pretty it's pretty unbelievable. I do think that the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers aren't in the worst place because, you know,
Speaker 3: aside from Ricky pearsall, most of these injuries are a
Speaker 3: little bit minor and hopefully precautionary, some of these cases
Speaker 3: holding some people out from practice, so little things don't
Speaker 3: become big things, like a hamstring tightness doesn't become a
Speaker 3: strain or god forbid, a tear. And so I think
Speaker 3: it's just the ramp up and some of the things
Speaker 3: that happen in training camp. And certainly the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers I think are in a better spot than say
Speaker 3: the Carolina Panthers, who lost second year ed rusher Nick
Speaker 3: Gordon for the year with an ACL the first practice
Speaker 3: of camp, and Jalen Walker yesterday cart it off the
Speaker 3: field looks like an ACL for him for the Atlanta Falcons,
Speaker 3: And so there are some teams that have some rough
Speaker 3: injury luck as well to start camp. Yeah, forty nine ers,
Speaker 3: it's just more about the sheer numbers of these injuries,
Speaker 3: and obviously it just it adds to the lore of
Speaker 3: things like the substation or whatever else luck the you know,
Speaker 3: whatever burial grounds the forty nine ers built their practice
Speaker 3: field on.
Speaker 2: I just had thought maybe that they would do a
Speaker 2: little bit more of an on ramp this year. And
Speaker 2: I know there's the segmented schedule this year with the
Speaker 2: rest day coming on the fifth day and things like that.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys all come in such great shape
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden they're dealing with issues.
Speaker 2: And I was joking the other day after the Evans injury.
Speaker 2: I was like, so you're telling me right now that
Speaker 2: Debo is the healthiest guy of the wide receivers we
Speaker 2: were counting on. It was like this, that doesn't seem
Speaker 2: possible based on the timeline.
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem possible. And there's so many people smarter
Speaker 3: than me that are involved in figuring these things out.
Speaker 3: And at least they're trying something new with the workout
Speaker 3: schedule and the practice schedule. It doesn't seem to be
Speaker 3: doing much, but they tried something right. But it's it
Speaker 3: seems insane that how good of shape these guys are in.
Speaker 3: It's a year round job, the work that they put
Speaker 3: in in the off season to come into shape already
Speaker 3: before camp, and they're more they're injured more often than
Speaker 3: the guys that used to have jobs in the off
Speaker 3: seasoned work out at all and training camp used to
Speaker 3: be the way to get into shape. That seems absurd,
Speaker 3: Yet here we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we are indeed, And I mean have people
Speaker 2: talked about the notoriety of Kyle Shanahan's style of practicing
Speaker 2: and preparing teams as being an impact here or is
Speaker 2: this more just like guys, we helped some guys out
Speaker 2: for soreness.
Speaker 1: It's not as bad as it seems.
Speaker 2: Yes, pierceall with the PCL is one that everyone's paying
Speaker 2: attention to. But for the most part, like you alluded to,
Speaker 2: this just has to do with, you know, the bumps
Speaker 2: and bruises of training camp. And there's a microscope on
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers for very obvious reasons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think you could start to point to
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan. You know, some of this started before Kyle
Speaker 3: Shanahan as well, but he does run practices that are
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more physical than maybe some other
Speaker 3: teams around the NFL, And so maybe you could point
Speaker 3: to that. You know, I think the fact that one
Speaker 3: of the forty nine ers linebackers broke the ribs of
Speaker 3: one of their running backs, you know, would be a
Speaker 3: bigger story if that running back was Christian Caffrey and
Speaker 3: not Jordan James, right, and so like, do you have
Speaker 3: to throw a Mike Tyson circle nineteen eighty eight. You know,
Speaker 3: body shot to try to get the ball out in camp?
Speaker 3: Or can you kind of go through the reps without
Speaker 3: injuring your teammates. So there are some things that I
Speaker 3: think you could point to that that maybe could be
Speaker 3: dialed back or changed a little bit. And you know
Speaker 3: how much of it is just absolute luck. The more
Speaker 3: often that it happens, the more you have to think
Speaker 3: that there's something else going on. There just has to be.
Speaker 3: And Robert Sala himself, and it's funny because players that
Speaker 3: used to play with the forty nine ers are a
Speaker 3: little bit more into this conspiracy side of things than
Speaker 3: actually the forty nine ers are, and the forty nine ers,
Speaker 3: you know, trying to squash it as they should, but
Speaker 3: even Robert Saula is like, look, I don't know what
Speaker 3: to say about it except for it keeps happening, and
Speaker 3: maybe it's death by a thousand paper cuts, but there's
Speaker 3: something to it, and so yeah, maybe it is the substation.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've been very, very skeptical that it
Speaker 3: has even any impact on the forty nine ers. Something's
Speaker 3: definitely going on, and at some point it's a PR nightmare,
Speaker 3: and yeah, you just have to get the And they
Speaker 3: cut trees that actually blocked some of the view of
Speaker 3: the substation. So the substation's actually taken a bigger role
Speaker 3: in this training camp than ever before because everybody sees
Speaker 3: it on every social media clip. They got to do
Speaker 3: something just for the PR's sake and put up a
Speaker 3: screen or something, so every highlight of Mike Evans jumping
Speaker 3: up to grab a football doesn't have the substation in
Speaker 3: the background.
Speaker 2: Here's my question about Mike Evans. How much of this
Speaker 2: is just a Okay, he is a player who you know,
Speaker 2: is actively involved in the National Football League and has
Speaker 2: a quad strain or tightness or whatever. We're qualifying it
Speaker 2: as versus uh oh, this is a carryover from the
Speaker 2: injuries that plagued him last year, and last year was
Speaker 2: more hamstring. But anytime lower body injuries starts showing up
Speaker 2: with any relative consistency, we start to get a little concerned.
Speaker 3: Well, ted, and I don't want to say that that
Speaker 3: you're not in great shape or anything. So you know,
Speaker 3: we're of a similar age, and I remember what my
Speaker 3: body started to do in my thirties, and I definitely
Speaker 3: know what it's doing in my forties now, and it's
Speaker 3: not great. And flexibility and all of the muscle groups
Speaker 3: and all of the you know, skeletal systems and all
Speaker 3: of the soft tissues, they're just more apps to get
Speaker 3: hurt the older you are. And I think it was
Speaker 3: I don't remember who put it out there, but somebody
Speaker 3: put out there the stat that the forty nine ers
Speaker 3: are the first team in a number of years and
Speaker 3: maybe might end up being the first team ever to
Speaker 3: have more than two games started by a group of
Speaker 3: five skill position guys that are all thirty years or older.
Speaker 3: So I think old guy getting hurt should probably not
Speaker 3: be the most shocking storyline.
Speaker 2: No, And I think I saw another thing talking about
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers having one of the older or
Speaker 2: oldest rosters overall in the NFL, which is also going
Speaker 2: to be part of this nick But I understand that,
Speaker 2: you know, he's been in the league for a while now,
Speaker 2: coming in as a rookie in twenty nineteen, but you know,
Speaker 2: keeping him with that was soreness or Drake Greenlaw, who's
Speaker 2: still you know, I think everyone should want to say, like,
Speaker 2: you know, what better to have him soar and keep
Speaker 2: him out now than push it and not have him.
Speaker 1: Available later on.
Speaker 2: But it's just it's the storyline that keeps on popping up,
Speaker 2: and you know, just the fact that, like I joked
Speaker 2: about that, you know, Debo was the healthiest of all
Speaker 2: these guys, and it's it makes you shake your head.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I guess you know, what
Speaker 2: was your reaction finally when you heard that Debo was coming,
Speaker 2: which was right after you know, the Piersoll Like I
Speaker 2: think it was Matt Mayoko who said all options are
Speaker 2: on the table and he said that that essentially implies
Speaker 2: that we should not expect anything from Ricky Piersall and
Speaker 2: then suddenly it was Debo.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's pretty unbelievable. And the forty nine ers
Speaker 3: need all the depth they can get at every position,
Speaker 3: and they're in a worse spot at other places, even
Speaker 3: beyond wide receiver. And yeah, I found it here too,
Speaker 3: And I want to give credit to Josh Dubo associated
Speaker 3: Press is a great stat The forty hours could start
Speaker 3: five skill position players Evans Deebo, Samuel Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle,
Speaker 3: and Kyle Uschek that are aged thirty year older. There's
Speaker 3: only been three teams in the Super Bowl era, so
Speaker 3: we're going back to the sixties that have five non
Speaker 3: quarterback skill position players that are aged thirty or older
Speaker 3: to start in the same game, and the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers are playing to have that starting group for most
Speaker 3: of the season, and the most of any of those
Speaker 3: is Washington in ninety two had two games of Gary Clark,
Speaker 3: Art monk ernest byner Don Warren, and Terry Orr and
Speaker 3: the other two teams that did it only did it
Speaker 3: for one game in their respective season. Yet this is
Speaker 3: the planned starting five for a good portion of the
Speaker 3: season for the forty nine ers. So this is you know,
Speaker 3: and we're talking about players who have all been very
Speaker 3: very recently injured and missed multiple games, some of them,
Speaker 3: you know, significant amounts of time in the last couple
Speaker 3: of years. So yeah, that's not the best starting point
Speaker 3: for a team that's already had as much bad injury
Speaker 3: luck as the four.
Speaker 2: Hours of One of the things that's been nice is
Speaker 2: that various reports have talked about brock Purty looking good
Speaker 2: and sharp even though he's dealing with like a new group.
Speaker 1: Of wide receivers every day, and I guess that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: The other thing that I've heard a couple of people
Speaker 2: riff on is that Purty looked a little bit sturdier,
Speaker 2: sturdy party, Is there something there?
Speaker 1: He looked a little bit, you know, more.
Speaker 2: Just complete physically so far this year through camp, trying
Speaker 2: to I guess, not deal with any of the injuries
Speaker 2: that he's had to deal with in the past, and
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of extra muscle on the frame
Speaker 2: or help him do so. But that's one of the
Speaker 2: things that's been overlooked, is that he's looked good, but
Speaker 2: that has been far.
Speaker 1: From the main story.
Speaker 3: Are you trying to say that brock Perty's in the
Speaker 3: best shape of his life?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, I said sturdy Purty Okay, No, I don't know
Speaker 3: how you get more sturdy. This guy was a borderline
Speaker 3: quadzilla already. He's got that kind of a frame that
Speaker 3: in Mike Sando's Quarterback Tiers there was a I think
Speaker 3: it was a defensive coordinator that was quoted as saying
Speaker 3: that he's better than you think and stronger than you think,
Speaker 3: and and and that's that's Brock Purty man. He's got
Speaker 3: the boyish, the boyish looks, but he's a grown man
Speaker 3: out there on the football field, even though he doesn't
Speaker 3: have that you know, that statuesque sort of a six'
Speaker 3: five frame that you think. Of he's. Sturdy he is,
Speaker 3: sturdy party he's, strong and hopefully that leads to him
Speaker 3: getting the ball out even even. Better AND i think
Speaker 3: we've seen his arm tick up from what we saw
Speaker 3: it was in college due to that frame and that
Speaker 3: overall strength and his work ethic is obviously something that's
Speaker 3: that's a common in all great.
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks another storyline THAT i keep on seeing is people
Speaker 2: saying That christian McCaffrey looks a step.
Speaker 1: Faster are you buying that or are you a little bit.
Speaker 2: Hesitant to see if that's not just him compared to
Speaker 2: what other guys are in. Camp because if anybody's gonna
Speaker 2: come in and quote unquote the shape of their, life
Speaker 2: the best shape of their, LIFE i should say It's
Speaker 2: christian McCaffrey BECAUSE i could make a pretty good argument
Speaker 2: that every day is the best shape of his.
Speaker 1: Life, yeah he.
Speaker 3: Doesn't he doesn't seem to go backwards as far as
Speaker 3: getting into. SHAPE i did think he lost to half
Speaker 3: a step last. Year, yeah it wasn't like problematic, necessarily
Speaker 3: and he was never he was never a, burner but
Speaker 3: it was just sort of that burst when you see
Speaker 3: the hole and you get there in the second, LEVEL
Speaker 3: i feel like he didn't quite have. It could he
Speaker 3: potentially be further removed from The achilles ten to nine
Speaker 3: as he was dealing with in twenty twenty, four and
Speaker 3: that could make, him you, know be a little bit
Speaker 3: more spry and a little bit more springing the lower.
Speaker 3: Half certainly plausible because he's not so old that he's
Speaker 3: going to immediately break. Down but you, KNOW i would
Speaker 3: think that the wear and tear on his body from
Speaker 3: last year and all the touches that he had would
Speaker 3: be something that would would be a little bit of
Speaker 3: a red flag for a season where he probably wouldn't
Speaker 3: be the most spry by all reports say that that's
Speaker 3: not the. Case you, KNOW i kind of want to
Speaker 3: see it out. THERE i want to see it in real,
Speaker 3: games and then we'll see it after a couple of
Speaker 3: hundred touches this year.
Speaker 2: Too, yeah most definitely a couple of hundred and then
Speaker 2: some edge pass rusher defensive end that that's already a
Speaker 2: point contention as we knew it would Be Ogbo acoronquo
Speaker 2: AS I i've heard some pronounce. IT i don't know
Speaker 2: If i'm getting that. Correctly you can tell me If
Speaker 2: i'm getting it in. Correctly but that was a pick
Speaker 2: up for the forty nine. Ers is that doing anything for?
Speaker 1: You you?
Speaker 3: Know a little bit MORE i think than the OTHER
Speaker 3: a couple of signings that seem to be just bottom
Speaker 3: of the, roster you, know training camp bodies at that
Speaker 3: edge rush, spot it's still very. THIN i think the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers should probably go even. Higher but at
Speaker 3: Least oakenroquo is kind of a guy THAT i think
Speaker 3: can stick on the roster, potentially and someone that makes
Speaker 3: the roster versus some of the other names that they brought.
Speaker 3: In BUT i, MEAN i keep looking at you, know
Speaker 3: and who. Knows you don't have to always go straight
Speaker 3: To Joey bosa just because he's related to somebody that's
Speaker 3: don't you, Though but you, know it would make a
Speaker 3: lot of. Sense and you, know in the way That
Speaker 3: deebo made sense for the wide receiver, room there's some
Speaker 3: players out there that might make a little bit more
Speaker 3: sense for the edge rush. Room just to make sure
Speaker 3: that you don't all of a sudden show up in
Speaker 3: three weeks into the regular, season you're completely battered at
Speaker 3: that spot like you were last, year because it makes
Speaker 3: everything so much more difficult than it needs to. Be
Speaker 3: and they can't go through another season light in the
Speaker 3: pass rush department because it almost derailed the whole thing last.
Speaker 3: Year and what's interesting to me is THAT i think
Speaker 3: you can kind of fake it at wide receiver more
Speaker 3: than you can at a position like edge rusher and
Speaker 3: pass rush on the defensive. Line it's just it's just
Speaker 3: something you can't. Fake and so whether it's you, Know
Speaker 3: Kyle vanoy's kind of the Name i've been bringing up
Speaker 3: because he's someone who's got a ton of experience and
Speaker 3: a ton of different, schemes can give you that versatility
Speaker 3: of the outside linebacker slash edge, guy a veteran in the,
Speaker 3: room someone who could actually give you quality snaps if
Speaker 3: you need to lean on. Him, Obviously Joey bosa is out.
Speaker 3: There Jadevian clowney was signed this week by The, Texans
Speaker 3: so that's one more name off the list of someone
Speaker 3: who's a, legit you, know player that could give you
Speaker 3: meaningful snaps in the. Season BUT i think they do
Speaker 3: have to add. Somebody maybe they think Oakenroll coo is
Speaker 3: one of those guys that can kind of give him that.
Speaker 3: ROLE i would have gone probably something that costs a
Speaker 3: little bit, more but you, know they might not want
Speaker 3: to spend the money after bringing In.
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel well he played Under Raheem morris, though SO
Speaker 2: i have to think that's the direct line is, Like,
Speaker 2: okay here's the GUY i know we can count on
Speaker 2: who speaks the relative language and we can put at, work.
Speaker 2: RIGHT i, mean that's familiarity to me always plays a.
Speaker 3: Factor, yes, absolutely he knows the, score even if the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers are going to run things a little
Speaker 3: bit differently Than Raheem morris had in the. PAST i
Speaker 3: think that's probably one of the underrated storylines right now
Speaker 3: going on in forty Nine ers camp is it sounds
Speaker 3: like AND i think the last time we talked about
Speaker 3: this before camp, started it was, Like, okay how much
Speaker 3: Will Raheem morris be allowed to change on the defensive
Speaker 3: side of the ball or is this going to be
Speaker 3: What Eric crocker AND i have talked about on The
Speaker 3: lockdown forty Nine ers podcast as The Kyle shanahan defense
Speaker 3: and is he allowed to change? It and it sounds
Speaker 3: like he has been allowed to change quite a, Bit
Speaker 3: and so we might have a much different scheme on
Speaker 3: defense THAN i expected that the forty nine ers might,
Speaker 3: have which means a lot more hybrid looking, fronts maybe
Speaker 3: guys rushing from different places and more odd fronts five man,
Speaker 3: lines which is super. Interesting and it sounds like the
Speaker 3: main beneficiary beneficiary so Far Raheem morris being a DB's guy. Himself,
Speaker 3: yeah is the guys on the back end and how
Speaker 3: they're gonna be utilized and everyone seems to love, it
Speaker 3: and some big WINNERS i think from forty nine ers
Speaker 3: camp on the back end of the forty nine ers,
Speaker 3: defense solidifying themselves some spot some spots and holding off
Speaker 3: any contenders for their starting roles Like Gyre brown at
Speaker 3: safety And Ronardo green at. Cornerback and you, know probably
Speaker 3: a really big year for all of the second year,
Speaker 3: guys Including Nick martin that's looking like he might be
Speaker 3: the Starting sam.
Speaker 1: Linebacker.
Speaker 2: Yeah everybody have been pretty you, know complimentary of what
Speaker 2: they've seen on the back end of the forty nine
Speaker 2: ers defense secondary and, said you know, this this could
Speaker 2: be a place of strength but obviously so much of
Speaker 2: that comes on what we're gonna see with the pass
Speaker 2: rush and then With Nick, bosa when they said, soreness
Speaker 2: they didn't specify, That like if they had said knee,
Speaker 2: SORENESS i think people would have been. Concerned but, like,
Speaker 2: Yeah Nick bosa has been out after an, injury so
Speaker 2: like we shouldn't be freaking out at that. Right this
Speaker 2: feels like to justin smith, terminology a couple of years
Speaker 2: ago or a generation, ago.
Speaker 3: We shouldn't be freaking out really about most of the,
Speaker 3: Stuff Like Ricky piersall was already hurt from last. Year,
Speaker 3: yeah and most of the new injuries are all pretty.
Speaker 3: Minor so all of them by themselves is you know
Speaker 3: something that you're not really worried about at, All and
Speaker 3: so it's just the cumulative effect of seeing that there's
Speaker 3: twenty of a ninety man roster that can't, practice and
Speaker 3: knowing the forty nine ers history of injuries recently that
Speaker 3: that's the thing that starts to get you. Worried but
Speaker 3: Just Mike evans by himself with a quad Or dejon
Speaker 3: scribbling with some hamstring, titaness those things, ALONE i don't
Speaker 3: think really bother you that much and. Shouldn't but again
Speaker 3: it's the cumulative, effect and it's a little bit of
Speaker 3: a probably in forty nine ers, fans and who knows
Speaker 3: how much seeps into the actual building of like what
Speaker 3: did we do? Wrong oh, no not.
Speaker 2: AGAIN i know that you guys were having a debate
Speaker 2: the other day and again we're talking To Brian peacock
Speaker 2: locked on forty nine ers here on sports PHONE kmb
Speaker 2: are about the departure Of Paraguemarz and you, KNOW i
Speaker 2: go back to when he first came, in thinking what
Speaker 2: year was it where he was in charge of deciding
Speaker 2: whether to challenge and we know he's the cap.
Speaker 1: Guru do you remember when he was involved with the challenge?
Speaker 3: Process oh, yeah he was actually in the booth and
Speaker 3: having say during football.
Speaker 1: Games, yeah was that during The nolan?
Speaker 3: ERA i don't think harball would have Been, okay, no
Speaker 3: it had to be three twenty, eleven So i'm sure
Speaker 3: it was in the late two. Thousands, yeah somewhere in
Speaker 3: that then Maybe Mike, Nolan.
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe saying who, Knows, yeah that sounds about. Right
Speaker 1: but he's you, know he's been a mainstay with this.
Speaker 2: Franchise he's been good for the cap in terms of
Speaker 2: them figuring things, out and you, know his name was
Speaker 2: in the running for the new commissioner Of Major League,
Speaker 2: soccer WHICH i was relatively surprised by BECAUSE i, don't you,
Speaker 2: know to be, HONEST i don't know how you decide
Speaker 2: who and or what makes a good commissioner for any.
Speaker 2: Sports you just kind of got to see what happens
Speaker 2: in real. Time but just you, know you guys were
Speaker 2: having a discussion about why it might be good for
Speaker 2: the forty nine. Ers if you could kind of re
Speaker 2: up BECAUSE i THINK i would take too long to explain,
Speaker 2: it but if you could kind of give a synopsis
Speaker 2: of where you guys were going with.
Speaker 3: That, yeah And prague has been you, know, Obviously jed's
Speaker 3: kind of right hand man for twenty five, years and
Speaker 3: so he's done a lot with the organization and things
Speaker 3: have gone. Well fors have been to Multiple Super, bowls
Speaker 3: so he's done a lot of great. Things and some
Speaker 3: of the structures of the way that contracts have been
Speaker 3: and he's done some really good deals for the forty nine.
Speaker 3: Ers BUT i think one thing that you could point
Speaker 3: to that could potentially be better is AND i think
Speaker 3: the best way to put it is the forty Nine
Speaker 3: ers had zero holdouts this year in the off season
Speaker 3: That Prague marates had the least amount of say and
Speaker 3: in those contract, Negotiations and SO i think that is
Speaker 3: probably going to be welcomed for both the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers front office and forty Nine ers fans to not
Speaker 3: have as many of, those including a A Trent williams
Speaker 3: contract which seemed to be very, difficult and that got
Speaker 3: done early and it was very, painless and we haven't
Speaker 3: seen a lot of that with the forty Nine ers
Speaker 3: throughout most off seasons in recent. History and so if
Speaker 3: that's in any, indication then then maybe the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers will be better off from a holdout, perspective if nothing, Else.
Speaker 2: Yeah the holdouts, before whether it Was ayuk who held
Speaker 2: out than was, injured kittle out a similar situation where
Speaker 2: he was a holdout? Injured who else did we Have
Speaker 2: trent like you alluded. TO i, mean the fact that
Speaker 2: they kept on repeating that same process over and over
Speaker 2: again was. Frustrating but, conversely is there a fear that
Speaker 2: they will not be as savvy with the cap or
Speaker 2: is this now such a well exercised thing in the
Speaker 2: MODERN nfl, world that you can find another guy who
Speaker 2: can figure out how the forty nine ers are still
Speaker 2: gonna be able to make those big moves in the
Speaker 2: future for A christian McCaffrey type.
Speaker 3: Player, Yeah AND i think there's a lot. MORE i
Speaker 3: don't want to say, homogenous BUT i think just think
Speaker 3: everybody in the league is a lot smarter about the
Speaker 3: cap and a lot of teams are doing things very.
Speaker 3: Similarly SO i just think that it's probably a bigger
Speaker 3: net that you can that you can pull from when
Speaker 3: you are hiring your cap gurus this day and age
Speaker 3: versus what it might have looked, like you, know twenty
Speaker 3: years ago or, yeah ten years. Ago and SO i
Speaker 3: think The fortnits will be okay from a cap manipulation.
Speaker 3: Standpoint and SOMETIMES i look at the cat manipulation stuff
Speaker 3: And i'm, thinking is it even necessary to do all of?
Speaker 3: That like some of the stuff is like what are you?
Speaker 3: Doing because you're always you, know you're creating a little space,
Speaker 3: now but you're just making things more difficult down the road.
Speaker 3: Too it's not like the things just go. Away you
Speaker 3: just like spreading it out like butter across burnt toast
Speaker 3: in some, cases and eventually you just don't taste the
Speaker 3: butter anymore because it's gotten too, thin you. Know so
Speaker 3: it's just it's pretty, wild and it's it's almost hard
Speaker 3: to comment on contracts anymore because the number that gets
Speaker 3: put out there by the agent is just completely wrong
Speaker 3: compared to what the contract even ends up looking like
Speaker 3: in the. End and you think you guy's got guaranteed,
Speaker 3: money and it's, like, actually it's not fully. Guaranteed this wasn't.
Speaker 3: Guaranteed this wasn't guaranteed that you can actually get cut
Speaker 3: now and you didn't think you, Could and so it's
Speaker 3: almost not even worth commenting. On and in some Ways
Speaker 3: i'm kind of jealous of you, KNOW nba In Major League,
Speaker 3: baseball where it's, like, okay it's all. Guaranteed, yeah he
Speaker 3: gets the whole, thing and now we know what the
Speaker 3: actual contract looks.
Speaker 2: LIKE i want to take this in two directions With
Speaker 2: ricky piersall the fur and the Second i'll get to
Speaker 2: in a, Second but the first one is just where
Speaker 2: does his career go from? Here because that was that
Speaker 2: was the first big domino for the forty nine ers
Speaker 2: as they got things going, again led to debo and
Speaker 2: led to all the talk being about the injuries once.
Speaker 2: Again BUT i feel terrible for the. Kid and we're
Speaker 2: in our forties now we can say that because when
Speaker 2: he has been, Healthy i've really enjoyed. Him he's a
Speaker 2: great route. Runner he was one of the few guys
Speaker 2: when healthy he could get separation for the forty nine
Speaker 2: ers wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Corps last. Year you, know it feels like he has
Speaker 1: game to.
Speaker 2: Him but once, again you know he's about to miss
Speaker 2: a remarkable amount of time due to this injury and.
Speaker 3: Surgery it's brutal luck to start his. CAREER i, mean
Speaker 3: gets shot on the streets Of San francisco before he
Speaker 3: plays AN nfl, game.
Speaker 1: Dude and then THE pcl.
Speaker 3: Injury ogden for, multiple multiple, years you, know and clearly
Speaker 3: it wasn't, right and the team thought he could get
Speaker 3: back and he couldn't last. Year so you, know, hindsight
Speaker 3: you wish that maybe they could have just done the
Speaker 3: surgery then and then nine to twelve months later he'd
Speaker 3: be ready to go all of a sudden this. Year
Speaker 3: BUT i always say About Ricky piersoll, is if you
Speaker 3: reduce the wide receiver position to the most simplest, form
Speaker 3: he can get open and he can catch the. FOOTBALL i,
Speaker 3: mean he's got pure. Hands he is an awesome route.
Speaker 3: Runner he is, quick he can, separate and we've seen
Speaker 3: when he's healthy what he can do In Kyle shanahan's
Speaker 3: offense With Brock, purty and it's just unfortunate because we
Speaker 3: haven't seen enough of. That and now another year. Lost
Speaker 3: the forty Nine ers after this year would have to
Speaker 3: decide on his fifth year, option which they will no doubt.
Speaker 3: Decline and so now you just go into the last
Speaker 3: year of your, contract in year four of a rookie,
Speaker 3: contract not really knowing exactly what you, have And Ricky
Speaker 3: pearsol and probably not being able to plan plan to have,
Speaker 3: him and he'll probably be blocked on the depth chart
Speaker 3: now by guys Like Dejon stribbling and who knows who
Speaker 3: will be back as far as the veteran receivers go
Speaker 3: on the forty nine ers. Roster so, yeah it's just
Speaker 3: a really tough go For Ricky Saul AND i feel
Speaker 3: terrible for him because he's a really good.
Speaker 2: PLAYER i mean he cut thirty six balls last year
Speaker 2: and almost had fifteen yards per. RECEPTION i, mean that's
Speaker 2: a weapon in THE. NFL i, MEAN i know it's
Speaker 2: a small lure sample, size BUT i mean who wouldn't
Speaker 2: like that as part of their. Attack but the other
Speaker 2: thing that The Ricky piersall and the rest of the
Speaker 2: injury talk has done is taken all the attention away
Speaker 2: from One Kyle shanahan and the accident he was involved.
Speaker 2: IN i know it's, been you, know a little bit
Speaker 2: of a talking, point but how much do you think it's.
Speaker 2: BEEN i don't want to say, beneficial because it never,
Speaker 2: is but all the attention went away From shanahan into the.
Speaker 3: Injuries, yeah The shanahan thing is tough because the best
Speaker 3: thing The fortinite organization has going for them is the
Speaker 3: advantage That Kyle shanahan gives them on. Offense, yeah AND
Speaker 3: i think it's something that can absolutely derail the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers. Season it could also be something that's a
Speaker 3: rallying point and could potentially be a you, know a
Speaker 3: a big storyline in the arc of A Super bowl.
Speaker 3: Season and SO i could really see it going both
Speaker 3: ways With Kyle, shanahan and in some ways he's been
Speaker 3: able to AND i think this market. Helps if this
Speaker 3: was In New, york it might be a little bit
Speaker 3: more difficult for him to just hide out and do
Speaker 3: his thing before he's back in full time and in
Speaker 3: the limelight and in front of all the cameras and
Speaker 3: in full charge of his football. Team but we're getting
Speaker 3: precipitately precipitously close to the start of the, season which
Speaker 3: starting a week earlier In, australia and and you Hope
Speaker 3: Kyle shanahan is able to put in the hours and
Speaker 3: put in the time and game plan like he has,
Speaker 3: before because it's the biggest advantage The San francisco forty
Speaker 3: nine ers have is what he can give. You BUT
Speaker 3: i do wonder if maybe that's WHY i think on
Speaker 3: the PODCAST i called it the kids are home alone
Speaker 3: a little. Bit SO i wonder if it's you, know
Speaker 3: kind of empowering for some of the you, Know Klay,
Speaker 3: Koubia he's, like, Okay i'm running everything on offense right.
Speaker 3: Now and Obviously kyle's pulling some strings behind behind the.
Speaker 3: Scenes but maybe that's Why Rahee morris is a little
Speaker 3: bit more allowed to be, like, Look Rhee, morris we trust.
Speaker 3: You you've had you have head coach. Experience we know
Speaker 3: what you know what you're, Doing so go run the.
Speaker 3: Defense how you think you should run the? Defense, yeah
Speaker 3: and SO i wonder if there could be some good
Speaker 3: that comes out of, that and Maybe Kyle shanahan learning
Speaker 3: that he doesn't have to grasp so, hard as one
Speaker 3: character put it In Star, wars gripping so hard that
Speaker 3: you know everything else falls squirts out between your. FINGERS
Speaker 3: i don't know what the exact line, was but maybe
Speaker 3: for For Kyle, shanahan letting letting go of some things
Speaker 3: might even be beneficial for him long term and short.
Speaker 2: Term That's leah saying that To graham Off. TARKIN i,
Speaker 2: believe there we.
Speaker 1: Go thank.
Speaker 3: YOU i knew it Was, leah BUT i couldn't remember
Speaker 3: who she was talking to her how the line exactly.
Speaker 3: Went but, yeah you get the IDEA i got talking
Speaker 3: to the right.
Speaker 1: Guy but, no of, course of.
Speaker 2: Course and, then of, course the most important final question,
Speaker 2: is last time you were telling me about That jubilee,
Speaker 2: pedal is there anything else that's newly come into your
Speaker 2: gear acquisition, syndrome radar gassing as we call it the guitar,
Speaker 2: world that you're thinking that you need to drop several
Speaker 2: hundred dollars on.
Speaker 3: Yesterday i'm more selling some stuff right. Now but WHAT
Speaker 3: i did bring into the family is a. Keyboard my
Speaker 3: wife actually can play. Piano Oh i'm a butcher on the.
Speaker 3: Keys but my son has been had a great time
Speaker 3: working on this Little yamaha kind of synth keyboard. Thing
Speaker 3: it's A midi, controller it's got mini keys so he
Speaker 3: can handle, it and he's you, know he's playing all
Speaker 3: kinds of crazy songs on it and making up his own.
Speaker 3: Stuff so we've got a little family keyboard as a
Speaker 3: new issue right, now which is the latest THING i
Speaker 3: was gassing on AND i did, too way too much
Speaker 3: research for. It we got a really nice little little
Speaker 3: synth that the family's gonna have fun.
Speaker 2: With my wife has pointed out that researching things is
Speaker 2: literally my favorite thing in the world to.
Speaker 1: Do and she's not she's not.
Speaker 2: Incorrect, like and that's probably why you, know and you're
Speaker 2: you seem similar to being, Like, oh let me let
Speaker 2: me look at this player's stats for the entirety of their,
Speaker 2: career or let me watch thirteen YouTube videos on this
Speaker 2: one piece of.
Speaker 3: Year it's WHY i do WHAT i. DO i can't
Speaker 3: not watch three hundred prospects before the.
Speaker 1: Draft of, course you got to do your.
Speaker 3: Research, yeah because you're. Not that's why we do what we.
Speaker 3: Do and it's the same thing with gear acquisition. Syndrome
Speaker 3: some of the fun is finding that right piece of,
Speaker 3: gear and when you actually get, it it's not as
Speaker 3: fun anymore because you don't have anything to research and
Speaker 3: look forward to getting.
Speaker 1: Anymore Mister, peacock you are the. Best as.
Speaker 2: ALWAYS i appreciate your time and we will talk, soon all.
Speaker 1: Right always a pleasure ted. Thanks
