WEBVTT - 49ers-Rams Australia Game: Breaking Down the Travel Plans and Competitive Edge 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.880 Now back to murphin Markets on The Sports Leader, streaming 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:08.799 live on the Sports Leader dot com at KNBR the 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:10.880 Sports Leader. 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:22.400 App All right, we are back live on the Murph 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.000 and Market Show on a Thursday morning. 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.480 John Dickinson Villa name for Brian Murphy. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.680 Today Murph wrapping up some of his summer long vacation plans. 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.080 He'll be back Monday morning with a full list of 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.120 hums and bums as we turn our attention towards the 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.720 forty nine ers season. Also want to note that I'm 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.000 sure my guy Murph will want to address the situation 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.159 with Greg Silver and Greg Papa Monday morning. We addressed 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.600 it earlier today in the show in the first thirty 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.040 minutes if you want to go back on the YouTube 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.000 stream or check out the podcast after the show today, 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.880 and we might have a few more words towards the 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.360 end of the show as we all try to figure 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.319 out what's going on here at the Sports Leader and 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.400 how we continue to move forward because we do still 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.720 have forty nine of football to talk about, and the 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.520 season starts five weeks from today. 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.560 JD next week is. 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.000 The first preseason game of the year for the forty 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.800 nine Ers, taken on to Tennessee Titans. We've got the 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.720 Hall of Fame game tonight between the Panthers and the 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:26.800 Arizona Cardinals, which means we are fully deep in forty 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.360 nine er talk and travel talk. 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:29.920 Apparently. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.279 We were just talking about this with Matt Mayoko about 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.880 the Rams travel plans which were released yesterday, reported on 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.800 by ESPN's Dan Graziano that the Rams will fly into 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:46.160 Australia the day before their opening game against the forty 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.960 nine ers and then fly out right after. Now, of 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.400 course both teams will be flying out right after, but 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.200 a different approach versus what the forty nine ers are doing. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.760 I believe flying out eight to nine days early to 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.600 get acclimated to the weather. Sure about the elevation down 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.400 in Australia. I know teams have done this before when 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.880 they have games down in Mexico City or when they 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.640 play in high elevation, to try to get your body 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.960 ready for that game. But two completely different strategies here 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.240 being implemented by your San Francisco forty nine Ers and 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.760 the La Rams of Sean McVay JD. I'll toss it 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.520 to you which is the better strategy. Who do you 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.520 think has a bigger or should I say bigger advantage 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.239 week one down in Australia. Well, it's hard to argue 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.960 with either one of these coaches. And I'm sure both 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.080 teams are doing extreme research. And I know Maddy was 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.680 talking about the twenty ten to forty nine ers and 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.720 the way they went about doing it in comparison to 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.920 the Broncos team that they played back then, And the 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.480 Niners do all the research now and they they want 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.079 to have a normal week, They want to get there, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.480 they want to adjust, they want to go through what 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.760 would be a normal practice week there in the lead 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.680 up to the game. The Rams, though, as we noted 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.720 a little bit yesterday on the show, they went to 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:05.720 London last year against Jacksonville and they did something more 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.240 similar to what they're going to be doing for this 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.960 game down in Australia, which is they basically arrived the 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.640 morning of which would be the equivalent of the night before. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.040 So think night game. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:24.040 In London, right arrive the morning of that night game 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.920 in London, but basically the equivalent of what would be 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.080 like the night before if you were playing a normal 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.640 maybe afternoon game, and they show and go, they get 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.720 rested up, they go to the state, they go to 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.000 the stay and they play the game, they fly out 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.000 basically make an all one fell swoop, and they had 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.200 success with that last year, which I think is leading 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.400 them to extend this to Melbourne, which I think is 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.320 even a different animal. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.040 And that's almost twice the. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.120 Yeah, And so that's why it's hard to argue against 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.320 the facts because to your point, the Rams have done 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.720 a similar strategy. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:03:59.960 Now it's worked for them. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.680 It's worked, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.000 But also a little bit of a different strategy because 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.160 now the Rams would technically be landing in Australia the 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.520 night before, sleeping in the hotel than playing the next day, 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.680 So a little bit different of a sleep schedule versus 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.920 maybe sleeping on the plane, which it sounds like they 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.720 did when they played in London. Yeah, and look at 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.000 that long of a ride. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.240 I think it's you know, that long of a ride 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.320 in terms of the plane trip, guys are going to sleep, 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.920 I think, regardless, a lot of that regardless. But yeah, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.920 it does sound as if and I've gotten confused on 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.080 it when you try to go back and forth as 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.800 to the day, what the timing will be there versus 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.719 what the timing would be on a body clock in 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.839 terms of say coming from California, which both these teams 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.080 will be in the RAMS even the day before. But yeah, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.000 it sounds as if they're going to get there. I 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.680 mean he said the day before, so basically Wednesday. So 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.720 to think of the game as Thursday night here, even 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.680 though it's Friday morning, and even though it's Friday morning there, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.760 that the Rams would be leaving Wednesday to do the 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.560 fifteen hour flight basically get there with enough time to 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.719 sleep and then get up and go to the game 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.920 that the next day and basically make it all one, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.359 all one. 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.680 You know, I don't know what that at, like forty. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.000 Something our trip, I mean, I mean think about fifteen 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.440 on a plane and fifteen on a plane and then 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:33.520 what would amount to roughly I don't have their exact 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.640 itinerary here in front, but it would it would basically 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:41.359 amount to I think they would be in Melbourne for 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.880 less time than they would be on the plane either way. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.920 Yeah, they're going to spend more time flying than they 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.080 will actually be on the field or just on the 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.520 ground way in Australia one way. Then they're going to 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.440 hop on a bird and do it again on the 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:55.840 way back. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:00.240 They would be in Melbourne less than fifteen hours, which 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.200 is the flight time both ways. So it's almost like 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.080 think of it in terms of like you got fifteen 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.600 hour flight, you got about fifteen hours there, and then 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.559 you got a fifteen hour flight. Basically boom, we're getting 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.200 it all in in forty eight hours. 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.360 Yeah, essentially. How I heard the Dirty Work Boys yesterday 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.479 riffing about Derek Pappa's tripped to Italy a few weeks ago. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.279 I mean, that guy was in and out of Italy 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.240 lane less than three days. I mean maybe he took 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.200 the strategy from Sean McVay showing up like Seal Team six. 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.960 But I mean, jd I'm a man that gets confused 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.919 with the time zones here in America. Now you're asking 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.440 me to do math and time zones all over the world. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.880 As Jason Kidds said, there's a lot of confusion because 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.080 it was confusion. But I'd have to think, even with 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.240 my simple mind, my simple brain, that the forty nine 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.320 ers would have the advantage here. Now it's hard to 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.279 argue against the Rams because of their track record, but 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.080 like this is a similar thing that happens in fight 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.560 camps with MMA fighters and boxers trying to get out 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.600 to an area early so your body can act on me. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.160 I guess the negatives would be, maybe you'll throw too 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.800 many shrimps on the barbie, maybe you have too many fosters, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.520 maybe you have too good of a time done in Australia. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.799 Like I would assume with this being such a huge 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.840 international game that the NFL would want both teams there 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.960 early to do a media tour and all of that, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.560 but it sounds like the Rams are going to be 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:15.880 able to. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.800 Skip out on all that. Yeah, I think they've given some. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.600 Leeway on that in terms of the fact that it's 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.480 it's obviously a major inconvenience as much as it is 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.120 at the same time kind of cool to have the 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.600 teams playing and look and trust me, when you talk 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.960 to forty nine er players and we did down at 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.360 training camp last week, and I'm sure you guys as 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.600 what like, they're not really looking forward to it, Like 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.280 these are creatures of habit and routine and want to 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.480 do everything for their bodies. So I think it was 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.440 with all the research done, deemed pretty clearly that it's 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:53.800 best to try and bite the bullet on the flight 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.200 getting there, make sure you have an appropriate amount of 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.960 time to rest and adjust, and then have the ability 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.920 to at the point in which if it takes a 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.520 day and a half to two days to rest and adjust, 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.240 you then at that point have on what would be 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.600 a normal week, right, get a get a get out 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.600 there practice, get sort of the off day, get the 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.000 three days of practice with the walkthrough, and just line 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.000 everything up for what was is going to be that 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.640 ten to thirty five am, which that and of itself, 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.480 after you adjust the ten thirty five am is going 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.320 to be a little weird on top of all of that. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.960 So yeah, I'm looking back at the Rams from last 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.360 year because I wanted to see and they played. It 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:45.080 was Jacksonville, So they played in Baltimore the week before, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.280 and a lot of times teams will well, you know, 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.080 the league will put you in the East coast. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:49.760 If you're going to go. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.440 To London, stay on the East coast and from there, Yeah, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:53.600 they went Baltimore. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.679 They went Baltimore to or they went somewhere in the 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.720 East coast. They might have stayed at in West Virginia. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.560 I don't know where they stayed, but anyway, it's basically 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.400 a ten hour flight from the East Coast to London. 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.200 You know eight I'm sorry seven eight. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.560 Hour flight from the East Coast to London. And so 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.480 this is gonna be twice that. Yeah, double that. This 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.400 is gonna be twice that in terms of the flight 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.720 because they'd be coming obviously from southern California. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.600 Man, what a headache this entire situation is. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.640 To your point, We talked to plenty of players down 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.560 at fort nin s training camp and it definitely seems 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.480 like there is a bit of frustration, not only the 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.880 fact that they do have to travel and set aside 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.880 a week of their life to go down to Australia, 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.520 but the fact that they're getting a second home game 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.480 stolen away from them down at so far down at 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.840 Levi South, Like Kyle Shanahan has been very vocal about 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.040 how he's not happy that his buddy Sean McVay asked 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.120 the league to pick the forty nine ers so that 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.840 they did not have to play the Niners down and the. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:48.920 Oh yeah, no, no doubt. 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.160 And it seems as if I know the Niners and 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.160 look they've I think they've put it behind him to 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.920 the point where look, if they get asked about it 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.559 in the media setting or whatever, they're gonna be honest 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.240 about it. I do think there's been and intent on, Hey, 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.000 it is what it is from the focus of this 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:04.680 training camp. 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.679 We don't have to like it, but we're gonna deal 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:06.920 with it. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.040 We're gonna go like I think that I get the 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:13.480 sense there's definitely been that type of mentality now, as 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.520 much as you still might grumble about it when you 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.679 have to think about it or get asked about it. 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.760 I think they're trying to make sure that the focus 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:20.440 is forward. 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.480 But it is interesting because, yeah, all of the elements 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.800 in play here, the juxtaposition between the RAMS approach and 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.240 the forty nine ers approach, the component of the RAMS 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.800 requesting the forty nine ers and being granted the request, 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:39.240 the RAMS doing the Seal six component of flying in 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.880 and flying out, which is interesting because to me, that 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.280 is more deemed toward the recovery off of the game 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.320 as much as much as it is the lead up 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.680 to the game, right, like making sure you're making sure 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.440 that you're not spending so much time there that you're 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.240 messed up for the next game. But they got the 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:05.080 extra day the RAMS next game is Monday night, so 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.079 they got the extra day, and I know the Niners 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.719 were upset. They wanted they wanted the Monday night I 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:15.240 think for being the the second week, for the inconvenience 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:19.320 of being, you know, the request granted by the Rams 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.560 and wanting to take them over there. Now the Niners 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.400 got the three straight home games. I think the Niners 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.440 wanted two home games and a one road game to 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.000 save a home game for later and anyway, it is. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.000 What it is at this point. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.520 But I think I think the Rams are almost Hey, 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:41.640 we're gonna go sealed team six, and whatever happens happens, 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.040 and maybe maybe it maybe it works, maybe it fails, 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.720 but we're going to be more easily adjusted to the 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.280 rest of the season. Think of the Niners in their 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.040 time where they've gone and done the trips to the 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.280 East Coast and they've stayed over, which they've done a 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.600 couple of different times in the in the Shannon era. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.320 They've played very well in those instances where they've had 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.840 the back to back games, but if you remember, they've 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:12.080 struggled coming back home in the home game after to 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.520 either a sleepy effort or a game that they've actually lost. 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.880 So I think maybe the Niners could be better equipped 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.720 for the game, but then maybe less equipped for the 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:23.840 return for that. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.920 Week two matchup at home because there's the Miami Dolphins adjustments. Well, yeah, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.880 because then your body has to readjust going back to 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.240 the States, like you adjusted. You spent nine days trying 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.520 to get acclimated to Australia. Now you've got to come 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.240 back home to Santa Clara and play a game the 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:38.720 next Sunday. 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.199 And to that point, I think that's where the league 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.400 did and look at you never as a competitor think 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.160 of it this way, I understand it, but I think 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.480 that's where the League did do them a favor in 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:54.480 a sense because they are playing Miami in Arizona those 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.560 first two home games, and so those are games where 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.400 maybe you don't have to quite be at your best 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.320 at the level that you might be if you were 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.000 playing say Philadelphia and Denver right. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.200 Out of the shoot. Yeah, in those games. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.400 Yeah, and maybe that's a bit of us I'll scratch 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.800 your back, you'll scratch my back, But still my back 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.560 is itching thinking about and the fact that the forty 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.920 nine ers essentially gave up an extra home game. But 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.920 I feel like there's still going to be a home 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.920 field advantage. Not sure about RAMS nation down in Australia, 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.439 but we've seen the forty nine or faithful travel all 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.360 over the country and internationally travel as well. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.040 I would still assume JD. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.400 Just my guess that if we do want to go 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.600 to like what is it the pick picks website where 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.440 they track who which fans are buying tickets, I would 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.160 I would assume it's still gonna be a sea of 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:44.559 red down in Australia. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.040 I would think, Yeah. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.840 I would think that there's a lot more Niner fans 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.920 just globally obviously than than RAMS fans at this point. 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:53.880 So I'm with you. 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.800 I think it will it won't be so Fi and 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.920 the takeover and Levi South, although maybe it's Levi's down Under. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.960 Yeah, when it's all said and I like that, I 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:05.760 like that idea. 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.920 And we'll see how the Sealed Teams six aka the 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.160 Rams show up, maybe with reinforcement. After we got the 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.319 news yesterday that Aaron Donald had a tryout with the 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.880 La Rams, Sealed Team ninety nine might be showing up 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:19.360 week one. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.720 I think it's all but done, JD. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.640 I know they're going through the process with the tryout 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.440 and possibly the paperwork real quick. Last take Aaron Donald 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.760 Week one lining up the Miles Garrett. Can we put 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:31.600 it in ink right now? 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.520 I'm gonna get the sharpie out of my bag here 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.000 and I'm gonna write it in sharpie. Here comes Donald, 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.400 Here comes Miles Garrett, Here come the Rams, Trent Williams 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.360 and the entire offensive line. Pack your lunch. It should 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.640 be one hell of a Week one matchup. Five weeks 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.480 away from today tonight is the NFL Hall of Fame Game. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.320 Shout out to Roger Craig going to the Hall of 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.800 Fame this weekend. Forty nine ers will be in action 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:01.000 at Levi's next Thursday against Mike Hohler's ten is Titans, 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.480 and that means football is back. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.080 But we'll be back after this break. 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.280 Give you our final thoughts on the show today and 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.080 everything happening here at camb are our final thoughts for myself, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.120 JD my Guy Walter behind the glass as we wrap 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.680 up a Thursday morning on the Murphy Marcus Show on 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.200 The Sports Leaders, K ANDBR The Sports Leader. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:26.200 Now back to murphin markets on The Sports Leader, streaming 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.120 live on The Sports Leader dot com at KNBR The 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:41.960 Sports Leader app. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:41.600 Oo. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:46.200 Busy day here at the Sports Leader.

This 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.760 morning and take you from ten to two as we 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.200 wrap up the final twenty minutes of the show today, 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.080 JD your thoughts on Buster Posey Earlier this morning. We 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.000 talked about a lot, including the Wall of Fame ceremony 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.200 this morning, including himself, but also dove pretty deep into 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.280 the trade deadline and the future of the Giants. What 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.840 was your biggest takeaway today with our conversation with Buser posing. 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.840 Well, it was just how forthcoming he was. I think, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:18.240 not only about what the future holds, or they hope 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.240 that the future holds in the Giant's front office, with 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.639 a lot of those prospects that they've been able to 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.080 acquire at the deadline and draft and that are already 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.520 running through the system that we talk about Bryce Eldridge 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.080 at the major league level headlining all of it at 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.560 this stage, but it was the acknowledgment of just why 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.520 they made certain trades, who they're excited about moving forward. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.520 But I also think more importantly. 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:47.320 He's been pretty bluntly accountable for this season being a 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:52.679 failure and not being what it was intended to be 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.119 in terms of better than let's say the last four years, 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.680 because I think coming into the year they wholeheartedly believed 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.280 that that that was going to be the case. So 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.280 I think that's the one thing we can debate. Good move, 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.920 bad move, manager you hired. All these different things are 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.800 debatable within the context of things that are always debatable. 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:16.840 What is the future hold? Should they be more all 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:17.520 in on a rebuild? 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.720 Like we can debate all of it, But the one 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.880 thing that you can't really debate with Buster Posey from 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.760 the baseball standpoint is the accountability for things that haven't 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.000 worked and the willingness to be very direct in looking 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.879 to pivot off of things that aren't working. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.199 Yeah, And that was probably my biggest takeaway too, was 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.119 it almost felt like there's been a reassessment from Buster 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.360 Posey and the entire organization about where they truly are 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.840 because he talked about what he expected when he took 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.879 over this job nearly two years ago today or not today, 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.960 but you get what I'm saying, yep, talking about the 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.520 thought process of them being closer to competing than what 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.399 they might actually are, and he acknowledged that that the 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.720 record has not lived up to the standard that he 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.359 thought he was setting when he first took this job, 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.720 which has led to two consecutive trade deadlines selling pieces 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.840 from the major league roster. Not only selling pieces, selling 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.679 former teammates like last year he traded away guys like 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.199 Yeahz and Camillo Devall and Tyler Rodgers, like guys that 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.560 he caught and guys that he played with. Now he's 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.880 making these difficult decisions, moving on from fam favorites this year, 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.720 like Elliott Ramos, who was your first homegrown All Star 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.600 since the days of Chili Davis, moving on from Luisa Rice, 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.480 who was an All Star this year but was on 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.240 an expiring contract just like Robbie Ray. But it feels 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.520 like he's kind of changed his tune or changed his 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:43.840 direction or circling back to what I said, just maybe 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:47.120 a reassessment that maybe they're not as close as they 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.639 thought they were, which meant they had to sell some 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.440 pieces and try to maybe bring back some other pieces 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.960 that can be used towards the future instead of going 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.239 all in to win right now. With some of these 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.920 veteran signings that we saw these pasts of all seasons, it. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:05.720 Does beg the question should they have maybe gone farther 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.280 in terms of what they look to do, because I 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.120
