Speaker 1: Now back to b Sports Leader New Days with your
Speaker 1: host Larry Krueger.
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll keep things rolling on this Thursday. This segment
Speaker 2: brought to you by Serfside. It's not a Seltzer, It's
Speaker 2: Serf Side, proud partner of the San Francisco, San Francisco Giants,
Speaker 2: the weekend calendars, Giants and Tigers all week and long.
Speaker 2: We'll have it for you. I'm the Leader seven point fifteen.
Speaker 2: Game one Tomorrow night, Saturday Night. Game two will be
Speaker 2: a four fifteen start. I'm going to that one with
Speaker 2: my family, excited about that. And then Sunday one oh five.
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Giants at that point going for the sweep
Speaker 2: against a Tiger team that traded Trek Skuble.
Speaker 3: But they're still pretty formidable for sure.
Speaker 2: Anyway, joining us on the Yuma guest line to talk
Speaker 2: Little Giants Baseball is the one and only Romo. You
Speaker 2: catch him every night on NBC Sports Bay Area with
Speaker 2: Kylon Mills.
Speaker 3: He does an incredible job.
Speaker 2: He's the former Giant closer All Star in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 2: fifteen year and a fifteen year Major League baseball career,
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty seven saves, including thirty eight and
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen three World Series titles. Have we given him
Speaker 2: a proper intro? Sergio?
Speaker 3: How are you.
Speaker 4: Cod, Larry? You're asking about a proper intro? If that
Speaker 4: was one day man, one heck of an intro, that's.
Speaker 3: What that appreciates.
Speaker 2: Oh brother, I'm doing great man, and I enjoy watching
Speaker 2: you with my friend Kylon Mills. I love your analysis
Speaker 2: of Giants baseball, and let's just get right into it
Speaker 2: before we get into the team on the field, and
Speaker 2: we want to ask you a few questions on that front.
Speaker 2: But you're a big part of Giant's history and you
Speaker 2: understand what Mike Kruco has meant to Giants fans everywhere,
Speaker 2: young and old. And maybe your thoughts on Kreuk's decision
Speaker 2: to call it quits at the end of this year.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, congratulations to him, first and foremost on just
Speaker 4: establishing himself not only as a you know, an all
Speaker 4: star Big League or a starting pitcher, but also I
Speaker 4: mean he is, in my eyes, he is called the
Speaker 4: fame worthy as an announcer, as an in game commentator,
Speaker 4: a color commentary, but also as a guy who has
Speaker 4: always been extremely helpful to us. He always had, he
Speaker 4: has his handprint, fingerprint on a lot of us. They
Speaker 4: went through the system in the in the minors, but
Speaker 4: also once we got up to the big leagues. You
Speaker 4: talk about someone that was welcoming and also willing to
Speaker 4: give you some time. So I'm very thankful and I
Speaker 4: do feel indebted to Kruko just for the advice that
Speaker 4: he's given you throughout the years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, what do you think of him as
Speaker 2: a broadcaster, Surge? I mean, you saw him as a pitcher,
Speaker 2: or maybe he didn't, probably because you're probably too young
Speaker 2: to have seen him as a pitcher. But you've had
Speaker 2: a chance to have a up close seat for so
Speaker 2: many of Kruk and Kype's greatest moments.
Speaker 3: What stands out to you about him as a broadcaster?
Speaker 4: Well, growing up down in southern California, right, and rooting
Speaker 4: for the guys in blue, watching those games. Every time
Speaker 4: I would hear a Giants broadcast, it would be Cruco
Speaker 4: and it would be Crook and Kuype, right, and I
Speaker 4: was just impressed. It's extremely entertaining, obvious there's two guys
Speaker 4: that played the game, have tremendous amount of experience in
Speaker 4: between the lines and just about in every situation that
Speaker 4: the guys have, you know, guys playing now are experiencing.
Speaker 4: But Kruko He's He's his personality, his wittness tied to
Speaker 4: the experience, his communication skills, in other words, his ability
Speaker 4: to explain and describe the scenario, the situation and minds
Speaker 4: from mindsets, from the players' mindsets to the players intents,
Speaker 4: just in situational baseball, like he understood the game. He
Speaker 4: understands the game so well and he sees it from
Speaker 4: a different lens. And if you know, the saying goes,
Speaker 4: once you see the game as a player, you'll never
Speaker 4: see it any other way. And that's Kruco is a
Speaker 4: pretty solid example of that, especially finding the ability to
Speaker 4: mix the two together, right, you know, being the entertainer
Speaker 4: with his voice and in the game, but also describing
Speaker 4: the game using his experience to explaining what's going on.
Speaker 4: It's I mean, it's extremely entertaining and sad to see
Speaker 4: him go, but definitely understand the situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you and him actually have a lot
Speaker 2: in common as pitchers because I thought you guys both
Speaker 2: showed a lot of guts. It takes a lot of
Speaker 2: guts to pour your stuff over the heart of the
Speaker 2: plate I want to talk about. I mean, all these
Speaker 2: three teams that you know, the the ten, twelve, fourteen,
Speaker 2: they were all great teams. I personally love the twenty
Speaker 2: twelve team the most. And you had an incredible run
Speaker 2: in that World.
Speaker 3: Series four saves.
Speaker 2: He had a sub one e r People remember you
Speaker 2: striking out Mickey Cabrera on that what eighty eight eighty
Speaker 2: nine mile an hour fastball right down the middle? Where, serge,
Speaker 2: where did the guts come from to throw that pitch
Speaker 2: right down the middle? I mean, did you when you
Speaker 2: when that ball leaves your hand against Cabrera? I mean,
Speaker 2: he's one of the great hitters of all time and
Speaker 2: you just dropped You dropped him a fastball and he
Speaker 2: obviously was looking for your slider. Did you know he
Speaker 2: was looking slider when you when you busted him down
Speaker 2: the middle with the fastball? Or do we just get
Speaker 2: lucky there?
Speaker 4: What? One of the best compliments I've gotten as a
Speaker 4: Big leaguer has come from Mike Kruco, and he gave
Speaker 4: me that sentiment. I've heard him say that, the line
Speaker 4: that I've had the guts of a cat burglar. Yeah,
Speaker 4: even in that particular situation against Cabrera, the same thing
Speaker 4: kind of came into play right, having having the courage
Speaker 4: to throw that pitch, but the confidence and conviction knowing
Speaker 4: that that was the right pitch at the right time.
Speaker 4: I kind of credit I kind of credit Meggie honest
Speaker 4: for that playing out the way it did. Game one
Speaker 4: of the World Series. I used to sit on the
Speaker 4: top step of the dugout for the first two three Indians,
Speaker 4: and I'd watched the first time through the lineup, and
Speaker 4: then I'd start my routine before I headed to, you know,
Speaker 4: my bullpen duties. And there was a foul ball that
Speaker 4: Scoutero had hit in between the third base dugout the
Speaker 4: third base coach in the in the dugout, and Meggie
Speaker 4: picks it up, does a fake throw like he's gonna
Speaker 4: chuck the ball at me while I'm sitting there, and
Speaker 4: I kind of just stared at him with a blank stare,
Speaker 4: like okay, like, and then he tells me he's ready
Speaker 4: for my slider. Contos was standing next to him, and
Speaker 4: he goes, what.
Speaker 2: Did he just say?
Speaker 5: He just said he's ready for your.
Speaker 4: Slider, Like, oh, I fired him up right, And I
Speaker 4: just looked at contos and went, dude, Miguel Cabrera knows
Speaker 4: who I am. That's pretty sick, you know. And if
Speaker 4: you were right handed, I'd like to think that if
Speaker 4: you were right handed, and you'd never face me, and
Speaker 4: I had the first time I'm facing you, and I
Speaker 4: felt that I had a ninety nine point eight chance
Speaker 4: of getting you out, you know. And it's only because
Speaker 4: I respect the game so much why I give it
Speaker 4: that point zero two percent, you know. But he hadn't
Speaker 4: seen it, and I gave him five good ones, and
Speaker 4: when he finally took a good, you know, decent hack
Speaker 4: and touched one for a foul ball, I was like, well,
Speaker 4: it's time throw a fastball. So definitely didn't mean to
Speaker 4: throw down the middle, that's for sure. Definitely did not
Speaker 4: mean to throw it down the middle. But I threw
Speaker 4: that ball as hard as I could in that moment,
Speaker 4: and forcing fastball looked like a two seamen and ran
Speaker 4: over the plate, And it's just meant to be right.
Speaker 4: So for me, it's it's just a lot of self belief.
Speaker 4: I honestly, I can say that, prior to making it
Speaker 4: to the big leagues, if I had have believed ninety
Speaker 4: percent of the people I had met, I would have
Speaker 4: never even made it to the minor leagues. So I
Speaker 4: always believed in myself. I always believed that I could play.
Speaker 4: But that confidence conviction also always comes from being smaller
Speaker 4: than everybody else my whole life, having to play up
Speaker 4: having too oh he's too small, don't throw hard enough,
Speaker 4: you know that, those type of labels. I had to
Speaker 4: break them somehow, right, So if I wasn't big enough
Speaker 4: size wise, well, I had to play bigger. Right. So
Speaker 4: if I didn't throw the velocity that they were looking for,
Speaker 4: where I had to find my ninety five miles an
Speaker 4: hour a different way. And I was fortunate enough to
Speaker 4: be able to find that in my slider. So I
Speaker 4: definitely believed in myself more than anybody else in this world,
Speaker 4: that's for sure.
Speaker 2: It's not the size of the fight and the dog
Speaker 2: in the fight. It's the size of the fight and
Speaker 2: the dog. There you go, Hey, you know you mentioned
Speaker 2: I mean, I mentioned mggie. Miggy's a righty, and you
Speaker 2: were death Unrighty's right that slider, that frisbee slider froze rities.
Speaker 2: There aren't too many righties that you know that had
Speaker 2: that frisbee slider. I think at Jeff Nelson had that.
Speaker 2: He had that frisbee slider. Not too many guys though,
Speaker 2: had that kind of movement. But I want to talk
Speaker 2: to you because I knew you were coming on. So
Speaker 2: I watched the sequence of Game five, twenty twelve NLDS
Speaker 2: All twelve pitches, Jay Bruce against Serge Romo. You got
Speaker 2: him into an O two hole and it was a
Speaker 2: battle royale, and on the twelfth pitch he flew out
Speaker 2: to x Xavier Nady former Calbert and the Giants preserved
Speaker 2: the six to four lead, the six to four win.
Speaker 2: That was an awesome exchange. And that was not a righty.
Speaker 2: That was a lefty, and he was supposedly going to
Speaker 2: get a great look at you, and he was supposedly
Speaker 2: gonna rip it in the gap and send them home
Speaker 2: a winner. And instead, you know, you guys went right
Speaker 2: through them on your way to.
Speaker 3: The World Series.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That I mean, first of all, do you let yourself
Speaker 2: ever go back and look at those twelve pitches and
Speaker 2: what's your recollection of that?
Speaker 6: At that that was probably, I will be honest, that
Speaker 6: was probably the most nervous at.
Speaker 4: That I had in my whole major league career. That
Speaker 4: was I And if you want to compare that to
Speaker 4: Faith and Cabrera in Game four of that World Series
Speaker 4: that year, that was probably the most calm outing, the
Speaker 4: most I knew I was going to get the job
Speaker 4: done outing of my career. It just in those situations, again,
Speaker 4: that self belief, regardless if I was kind of teetering
Speaker 4: with my positive thoughts in that situation, understanding that I
Speaker 4: am who I am, my teammates feel that I was
Speaker 4: I'm the right guy on the mound. And not only
Speaker 4: can I co sign with that sentiment and my teammates
Speaker 4: feeling that I was the right guy on the mount,
Speaker 4: I knew I was the right guy in the mount
Speaker 4: in those situations. Did I have matchup wise that I
Speaker 4: have the stuff to really match up against lefties? Especially
Speaker 4: a Jay Bruce who hit thirty plus homers that year,
Speaker 4: was an All Star. I think you had right around
Speaker 4: one hundred RBIs that year. In that situation on the
Speaker 4: road in the Hitters Ballpark, I just knew I couldn't
Speaker 4: let anybody down. And that was the one thing that
Speaker 4: I kept telling myself. If you happen to go back
Speaker 4: and look at it again, and in between pitches, I'd
Speaker 4: catch the ball and I'd look right into the dugout
Speaker 4: after every pitch. For me, I in that moment especially,
Speaker 4: I relied a lot on the faith and confidence that
Speaker 4: my teammates had in me. They were all at the
Speaker 4: top step, no one sitting down. Everyone was positive, encouraging
Speaker 4: words or just like real engaged in the moment and
Speaker 4: just sold out like passion, all on blast. Like it's
Speaker 4: just like it was easy for me to feed off
Speaker 4: of them in that moment because they wanted it so much.
Speaker 4: And I go, man, if there's somebody in this team
Speaker 4: in this world they want to get this job done
Speaker 4: more than me. I can look in that dugout and
Speaker 4: I can see a bunch of my teammates ready and
Speaker 4: you know, and expecting for it to be done. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I just dug deep again in that moment. I kind
Speaker 4: of feel fortunate because that last slider that I did
Speaker 4: throw him did kind of go over the plate a
Speaker 4: little bit more than I wanted. But maybe he saw
Speaker 4: it like it was gonna break a little bit more
Speaker 4: than what it did, but took a little not the
Speaker 4: greatest swing on it. And then, as you said, Calbert,
Speaker 4: former Calbert x Gregory Madi out. Now that was a
Speaker 4: pretty good addition for us that year as well. He
Speaker 4: catches that ball and I just remember going into his
Speaker 4: dug out like wapping like the brow and my head,
Speaker 4: like taking my hat off, and that was something I
Speaker 4: didn't do a whole lot, but I just remember kind
Speaker 4: of going, Wow, No way.
Speaker 3: What a moment, man, what a moment. Hey. Two last
Speaker 3: thoughts before we let you go.
Speaker 2: I gotta ask you one one on the current team,
Speaker 2: and I gotta ask you this one too. Boach obviously
Speaker 2: awesome manager, but he was always hailed as a great
Speaker 2: handler of the pen? Why why what made boach What
Speaker 2: made his kind of the way he handled the bullpen?
Speaker 3: Why was that hailed as great by so many?
Speaker 7: Often Boachie gets credited for being a wizard right pulling
Speaker 7: the strings because you're describing and explaining pulling the right
Speaker 7: strings at the right times and seemingly just never really
Speaker 7: missing a beat, you know.
Speaker 4: Making bad decision right. So I feel a lot of
Speaker 4: that is credited to his style of coaching. He is
Speaker 4: a father figure through and through. He talks to us
Speaker 4: like we are his children, and he has with me
Speaker 4: in particular and I've heard him so other teammates as well.
Speaker 4: He is used the terms I love you, I love
Speaker 4: you like a son. I see you as a son,
Speaker 4: I see you as this, and you know the fighting you.
Speaker 4: I'm proud of you, you know. I feel for you
Speaker 4: when things don't go well, and I'm even more proud
Speaker 4: of you when you fight and those things don't go well.
Speaker 4: And I'm even more proud of you when things do
Speaker 4: go well because I know what you can do well.
Speaker 4: That confidence in each one of us stems from his
Speaker 4: ability to get to know each one of us individually.
Speaker 4: How he remembers so many players that he played with,
Speaker 4: let alone guys that played for him, and he can
Speaker 4: tell you where they're from, he can tell you what
Speaker 4: makes them tick. He used to call me the brawler
Speaker 4: from Braley. I'm like, wow, he sees me way bigger
Speaker 4: than I see myself. And that's impressive, right like it
Speaker 4: just it was encouraging because he believed in me, and
Speaker 4: he saw a certain trait or a certain quality in
Speaker 4: me that he respected and thought, Man, you know what,
Speaker 4: I can do some wonderful things having that guy in
Speaker 4: my corner, you know, And I took a lot of
Speaker 4: pride in being able to answer that call, not just
Speaker 4: for boats, but for my teammates as well.
Speaker 8: You know, the.
Speaker 4: Confidence in faith that they had in me. It's not
Speaker 4: just given. It's not just something that here you go,
Speaker 4: you're next in line. Well, we automatically believe in you know,
Speaker 4: like you got to warrant that opportunity. And I do
Speaker 4: feel that some of these guys now now that are
Speaker 4: getting these opportunities. It's a lot of reminiscent to oh,
Speaker 4: eight when I got my debut, and nine when we
Speaker 4: had a.
Speaker 3: Lot more debuts.
Speaker 6: We're not even talking about all seven debuts, right, that
Speaker 6: led up to those change in climates and the successes
Speaker 6: and within the organization finding those homegrown pieces, just.
Speaker 4: Taking advantage of those opportunities. Right, You've earned these chances
Speaker 4: to have your name in the hats, you know, and
Speaker 4: when they puck your name out there and they give
Speaker 4: you that chance, that phone rings, they call you, you got
Speaker 4: to have that same conviction and belief that you earned
Speaker 4: that by doing what you do and trying not to
Speaker 4: be nothing else. If this world only asks you to,
Speaker 4: just do you present the value that you present on
Speaker 4: a daily basis consistently? That's what this whole world really asked,
Speaker 4: right in my opinion. Right, So then if that's really
Speaker 4: what it is, well, what easier way to eliminate all
Speaker 4: the pressures? Then understanding who you are, what makes you tick,
Speaker 4: and then just being you. There's no pressure to just
Speaker 4: be you?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 4: So I do feel Bochi put us in all those
Speaker 4: situations that he knew wouldn't affect us that he knew
Speaker 4: that we could be successful in because of that self knowledge,
Speaker 4: that knowledge that he had of us as individuals, as competitors,
Speaker 4: as teammates, as men. I just feel that we only
Speaker 4: know what is it confirmed or affirmed his belief in
Speaker 4: us and his ability to know which guy to go
Speaker 4: because of that knowledge. I just impressed by Bochi's best
Speaker 4: manager I've ever played for.
Speaker 2: Seriously, Hey, I'm last one on the way out the door,
Speaker 2: just give me a favorite. I like watching Land and
Speaker 2: Root Pitch. I just I think his arsenal's awesome. Man,
Speaker 2: he's got a power arsenal. He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2: He's been impressive this year. Is there one pitcher, I mean,
Speaker 2: he doesn't have to be web, It could be one
Speaker 2: of the rookies. Is there one picture that You're like,
Speaker 2: I really enjoy watching this twenty twenty six Giant pitcher
Speaker 2: pitch this year.
Speaker 4: Well Landon is definitely one of those guys that I
Speaker 4: do enjoy watching pitch, and it is he has a
Speaker 4: demeanor on the mound. It may it's not as quiet
Speaker 4: as a man, but it is as fierce as a
Speaker 4: Matt Kane, and it's as competitive and you can tell
Speaker 4: like he's he's digging for the squad, right, and he
Speaker 4: expects greatness out of himself. But I was really impressed
Speaker 4: with Pitdwell's outing a couple of days ago. And it's
Speaker 4: not just it's not just how he adjusted and got comfortable,
Speaker 4: got in the rhythm and the fourth, you know, the
Speaker 4: second through four fifth innings were amazing. They were solid,
Speaker 4: much better than the first of course, right, maybe a
Speaker 4: little jitters there, maybe like hey, I'm back first starting
Speaker 4: the Big League for the Giants, like you know what
Speaker 4: I mean, Like he probably probably felt some jitters there,
Speaker 4: But I will say I was impressed with his response
Speaker 4: after the game. He goes, you know, five innings, I'm
Speaker 4: not a five and dive guy, and he wants to
Speaker 4: pitch more. He knows that there were some things he
Speaker 4: could have done not just in the first inning, but
Speaker 4: also in the second, third, fourth, and fifth. They could
Speaker 4: have sped up the innings, maybe made some pitches less,
Speaker 4: a little bit more efficient with his pitch count, and
Speaker 4: he could have pitched into the sixth, maybe even the
Speaker 4: seventh with how he got in cruise mode after the first.
Speaker 4: So I do feel the mindset of expecting more of
Speaker 4: yourself in a see it to believe it type world.
Speaker 4: I do feel that he sees himself way more and
Speaker 4: way more productive than the guy that can just give
Speaker 4: you five every five fifth day. So I was impressed
Speaker 4: with Pidgeons.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey tid Well, is he a power writing man.
Speaker 2: He's got a nice future for sure. Hey Surge, we
Speaker 2: love what you're doing on NBC man, keep it rolling.
Speaker 2: Thanks for jumping on KMBR today. We appreciate you.

Speaker 8: particularly mister De, bartolow who you know came to me and,
Speaker 8: said you, know we want you to be the. Presenter
Speaker 8: it was my first year on The Senior Players. COMMITTEE
Speaker 8: i spent twelve years on the subcommittee For contributors And,
Speaker 8: coaches and it was my first year on The Senior
Speaker 8: committee and someone else on the committee had been Assigned
Speaker 8: Roger craig unbeknownst to, me AND i requested to be
Speaker 8: the presenter For roger and the. Committee And i'm sure
Speaker 8: GLAD i. DID i you, Know i'm Just but even
Speaker 8: BEFORE i was part of The hall Of fame selection,
Speaker 8: PROCESS i wrote a book like three years BEFORE i
Speaker 8: was on the, committee AND i said That Roger craig
Speaker 8: was most underrated running back IN nfl history and should
Speaker 8: be in The hall Of. Fame So i've always been
Speaker 8: passionate about his. CANDIDACY i, thought to sum it, up
Speaker 8: he was the transformative player on the transformative offense at
Speaker 8: a time when offenses were transforming in The National Football
Speaker 8: league Under Bill. Walsh so that's the very definition of
Speaker 8: A hall Of, Famer, NO i, mean.
Speaker 2: You, KNOW i also have been making this case for,
Speaker 2: years and the case That i've made was really surrounding
Speaker 2: a lot of people Say roger benefited from playing With
Speaker 2: Jerry rice And Jerry rice was a great, player and
Speaker 2: you always benefit from playing with great.
Speaker 3: Players But jerry's numbers.
Speaker 2: Are in the, stratosphere and you could argue That Brent,
Speaker 2: Jones Ricky, Waters Roger, Craig John.
Speaker 3: Taylor's, numbers partly dude Of, jerry were.
Speaker 2: Suppressed SO i really believe That roger's greater than his
Speaker 2: statistical numbers in.
Speaker 3: Profile, yeah AND i.
Speaker 8: Think people put too much on. NUMBERS i think it's
Speaker 8: really important to understand the dynamic of the game and
Speaker 8: the superlatives that he achieved at his, position and most,
Speaker 8: important how he helped his team win Super, bowls multiple Super,
Speaker 8: Bowls and he did all of the research THAT i,
Speaker 8: did talking to his teammates and just reading What Bill
Speaker 8: walsh said about him privately in. MEETINGS i went to
Speaker 8: a lot of the minutes of meetings and read a
Speaker 8: lot of the documents that were left behind by the
Speaker 8: Great Bill, Walsh and you, know he understood What Roger
Speaker 8: craig could bring to that offense and how important he
Speaker 8: was to, it and how important he would be to
Speaker 8: transform the. Position Dernie thomas would not be in The
Speaker 8: hall Of. Fame Marshall fulk would not be in The
Speaker 8: hall Of fame if it weren't For Roger. Craig christian
Speaker 8: McCaffrey's not going into The hall Of fame if not
Speaker 8: For Roger. Craig, WELL i think people need to stop
Speaker 8: with that. Argument, listen there's a lot Of Oakland raiders
Speaker 8: Slash Las Vegas, raiders whatever you want to call Them La.
Speaker 8: Raiders there's a lot Of Chicago bears who were elevated By,
Speaker 8: singletary and there were a lot Of Oakland raiders that
Speaker 8: were elevated By Kenny stabler And stable had to wait
Speaker 8: and he eventually got. Imposthumously so of course you're going
Speaker 8: to be elevated by your, teammates there's no question about.
Speaker 8: THAT i, mean Was Tom sever elevated By Jerry? Grot
Speaker 8: And Jerry grote doesn't get anywhere near the legacy points
Speaker 8: That Tom sever did and got nowhere near The hall Of.
Speaker 8: Fame but he was a, great great, catcher and when
Speaker 8: you listen to What Tom sever, said he wouldn't be
Speaker 8: in The hall Of fame Without Jerry. GROT i, mean
Speaker 8: the list goes on and, on AND i think people
Speaker 8: understand What craig meant to the position at a time
Speaker 8: when the position was transformed by the greatest offense of
Speaker 8: genius in the history of the game In Bill.
Speaker 2: Walsh walsh was incredibly, innovative And craig was his tool
Speaker 2: to innovate in a lot of.
Speaker 3: Ways you're.
Speaker 2: RIGHT i, mean it's really, amazing not just That roger
Speaker 2: was a thousand thousand, style but that it has not
Speaker 2: been done a lot in a passing oriented league Since
Speaker 2: falk did.
Speaker 3: It christian McCaffrey has done it a couple.
Speaker 2: Times BUT i, think you, know if you'd asked me
Speaker 2: in the late, eighties DO i think a thousand thousand
Speaker 2: will be done in the next twenty twenty five, YEARS
Speaker 2: i would have said, yeah sure a half dozen, times
Speaker 2: and it really hasn't.
Speaker 3: Happened.
Speaker 8: Yeah AND i would like to thank The hall Of
Speaker 8: fame for giving me the opportunity to make the presentation
Speaker 8: on behalf Of Roger, craig BECAUSE i went to them and, said,
Speaker 8: Listen i'm really passionate about, That i'm really passionate about his,
Speaker 8: candidacy and would you consider making the switch last minute
Speaker 8: so THAT i could be the one that makes the
Speaker 8: presentation in The Senior. Committee and they granted that, request
Speaker 8: and then of, Course i'd like to thank also all
Speaker 8: the members of The Pro Football hall Of fame selection
Speaker 8: committee who listened to my argument and some of which was.
Speaker 8: Crazy you, know you probably heard the story of How Roger,
Speaker 8: craig of, course was in a very famous music video
Speaker 8: From Mark Knopfler Dire, straits and he was in that
Speaker 8: video right Before Michael. Jordan's SO i actually played the
Speaker 8: song walk Of life By Dire straits in the committee
Speaker 8: meeting and had everybody hummet with. Me that is.
Speaker 3: Awesome i've told.
Speaker 8: That story on the station during The Super bowl last,
Speaker 8: year and you know WHEN i told, that people got
Speaker 8: really excited about. It BUT i think, again you, know
Speaker 8: you have to do everything that you possibly can for
Speaker 8: a guy like that who has been on the margin
Speaker 8: for so, long and the committee vote because he's so
Speaker 8: deserving and he's such a great man and was such
Speaker 8: a great. Teammate he listened to What Ronnie lott says about.
Speaker 8: Him and there's a reason Why Bill walsh Put Ronnie
Speaker 8: lott And Roger craig together as roommates in training, camp
Speaker 8: not because of What lot would do For, craig but
Speaker 8: What craig would do for A. Lot SO i, mean
Speaker 8: there's just so many impactful stories about. IT i wrote
Speaker 8: a long story about it in The hall Of fame
Speaker 8: yearbook that will come. OUT i think it is out
Speaker 8: or it came Out, monday and you can get it.
Speaker 8: Online and it's a really great yearbook this year because
Speaker 8: it's a really great. Class, oh no.
Speaker 2: Doubt The niners won Four Super bowls in the, eighties
Speaker 2: BUT i. Didn't they only have two offensive starters from
Speaker 2: their dynasty in The. Hall The packer dynasty of the,
Speaker 2: sixties The steeler dynasty of the. Seventies they're much more
Speaker 2: heavily recognized or or celebrated by The hall Of.
Speaker 3: Fame are the forty nine.
Speaker 2: Ers is their dynasty not BEING i don't, know respected
Speaker 2: as much as maybe it should, be or or is
Speaker 2: it just that there was a lot of, good very good,
Speaker 2: players but Not hall Of famers and in their.
Speaker 3: Dynasty you, know it comes down a lot to.
Speaker 8: Who's making the. Presentations it sounds, silly but it's who's.
Speaker 8: Advocating it's like anything in, life you, know you have
Speaker 8: to have somebody in your. Corner, yeah It look at The,
Speaker 8: bears they won One Super. BOWL i think they've got
Speaker 8: almost a dozen guys from that one Super bowl in
Speaker 8: The hall Of, fame and they never came close to
Speaker 8: winning another. One in, fact you could argue that they
Speaker 8: were one of the most overrated Super bowl teams because
Speaker 8: they should have won. More look at The, raiders they
Speaker 8: Won Super bowl. Eleven how Many raiders From Super bowl
Speaker 8: eleven are in That's hall Of? Fame? NOW a lot of,
Speaker 8: them believe, me deserve to be. IN i think that
Speaker 8: that's team was off the charts in terms of. Talent
Speaker 8: AND i Thought Kenny, Stabler god rest his. SOUL i
Speaker 8: thought one of the great injustices was That stabler went
Speaker 8: after went in after he passed. Away and you know
Speaker 8: That Pat bowling for The broncos really wasn't cognizant of
Speaker 8: the fact that he got. In he got in too.
Speaker 8: Late and that's what the REASON i pounded my just
Speaker 8: on the table For Paul, tagliabu BECAUSE i thought tagliabus
Speaker 8: should have gotten in The hall Of fame a long time,
Speaker 8: ago and LUCKILY i was able to make that presentation
Speaker 8: and get him in before he.
Speaker 2: Passed you made the argument here that you Know, rogers
Speaker 2: the only all decade running back that isn't in The
Speaker 2: hall Of, fame the seventies, team Oj Earl, Campbell Walter, Payton,
Speaker 2: Franco they're all. In, Dickerson Walter, Payton John, riggs his
Speaker 2: other eighties backs are all. In Ry, Sanders Emmitt, Smith,
Speaker 2: Thrman Thomas, Trell davis, back all decade running backs in
Speaker 2: the nineties all.
Speaker 3: In It'sle, Man it really is make that.
Speaker 8: Argument that was enough really in my view that he
Speaker 8: should be. IN i, mean to, me That's i'm glad
Speaker 8: that you brought that, up because that is really an
Speaker 8: incredible element in the. Argument Putting Roger craig in you,
Speaker 8: know suffice it to say the guy was the transformative
Speaker 8: player at his. Position you can't really say that about
Speaker 8: too many other players in the history of The National Football.
Speaker 8: League you really. CAN'T i, mean go down the list
Speaker 8: of the important offensive positions and who was the transformative?
Speaker 8: Quarterback do you have one on that list who could?
Speaker 8: Have who is is? This so we're Putting Roger craig
Speaker 8: in the same category As Johnny. YANITIS i, mean who
Speaker 8: is the transformative middle linebacker? Was But gus you know?
Speaker 8: Who so we're Putting Roger craig from his position at
Speaker 8: running back in the same category as some of the
Speaker 8: most iconic players in the history of the, game and
Speaker 8: he was overlooked for. Decades it's, sad But i'm glad
Speaker 8: he's finally getting. In i'm GLAD i, could you, know
Speaker 8: spend a lot of energy and play a small part
Speaker 8: in making it. Happen thanks a lot, too so much
Speaker 8: to The niners, organization mister De. BARTELOW i, mean Ed
Speaker 8: eddie d really helped quite a. Bit and you, Know
Speaker 8: i'm really really. Happy it's it's gonna be a moving
Speaker 8: experience just to see him BECAUSE i, know you, know
Speaker 8: he's he's he and his family are overjoyed with the
Speaker 8: opportunity to get that bust and get Into canton before
Speaker 8: he passes, away before he's you, know unable to really enjoy.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 2: YEAH i, mean if you said to, me what's the
Speaker 2: reason it's taken so, LONG i think you kind of
Speaker 2: hit on. It SAL i think everybody needs an, advocate
Speaker 2: and his advocate would have Been, walsh And walsh died
Speaker 2: kind of, young AND i think that really impacted. Things
Speaker 2: walsh had carried such clout with the media and within the,
Speaker 2: sport especially in The hall Of fame.
Speaker 3: Circles, YEAH i think you're.
Speaker 8: RIGHT i, do and even where people had advocates within
Speaker 8: their own, team it's still. Hard BUT i think With
Speaker 8: walsh it would have been different because you're, right he
Speaker 8: had you, know he has such persuasive powers and he'd
Speaker 8: certainly had the ear of a lot of members of
Speaker 8: the media for. Sure.
Speaker 2: Sal always love your work and you do amazing stuff
Speaker 2: on The matchup. SHOW i WAS i saw you in
Speaker 2: the press box In, philly BUT i didn't want to
Speaker 2: bother you During Niners. Eagles but, man that was quite
Speaker 2: a scene watching The niners go back there and get

Speaker 3: All of you. Guys all, Right Mike evans didn't practice.
Speaker 2: Today by the, way forty nine ers having practice In
Speaker 2: Santa clara today And Mike evans did not. Practice, man
Speaker 2: forty nine ers are just banged up early on and
Speaker 2: hopefully it's just. Nothing Major evans is battling at quad
Speaker 2: AND i gotta think that if it was The Super.
Speaker 3: Bowl he'd probably.
Speaker 2: Play but It's august and it's, early and they haven't
Speaker 2: even gotten anything rolling, yet AND i just think they're
Speaker 2: being very very cautious about putting him out. There but
Speaker 2: he stopped by and and you, know he's obviously spent
Speaker 2: a lot of years with The, buccaneers and he compared
Speaker 2: The bucks roster to The niner.
Speaker 3: Roster let's listen to this.
Speaker 5: On some great teams, though right the stacks up there
Speaker 5: with with one of the best Teams I've i've been
Speaker 5: a part. OF i, mean obviously we have to go
Speaker 5: out there and prove. It we're putting in the ord
Speaker 5: to do. That but In TEMPLE i had some really good,
Speaker 5: teams you, know play With tom Ab, Gronk Chris gowen.
Speaker 5: All so this stacks, up stacks up right, there and
Speaker 5: hopefully that we can accomplish what we WHAT i accomplished
Speaker 5: with that.
Speaker 2: Team there you, Go Mike evans With murph And marcus
Speaker 2: on THE Kbr Morning show talking, about you, know comparing
Speaker 2: some of those Great.
Speaker 3: Bucks, teams and of course His bucks team.
Speaker 2: With brady won The Super, bowl and Now evans is
Speaker 2: trying to help The niners win The Super. Bowl and
Speaker 2: it kind of begs the, QUESTION i, mean is this
Speaker 2: A Super bowl or bust season for the forty nine?
Speaker 3: Ers and.
Speaker 2: You, KNOW i know a lot of people that when
Speaker 2: they hear that, question the first response, is you, know you,
Speaker 2: know if if you're gonna be unhappy unless you win
Speaker 2: The Super. Bowl only one team wins the Super, bowl
Speaker 2: and so you're kind of setting yourself up for a
Speaker 2: lifetime of unhappiness if your you, know bottom line is
Speaker 2: you win the Super bowl and you're, happy and you,
Speaker 2: lose you don't win the Super bowl and you're.
Speaker 3: Unhappy AND i get.
Speaker 2: THAT i get, That but not every team has the
Speaker 2: same standards every. Year AND i think, ABSOLUTELY i, MEAN
Speaker 2: i think forty nine ers ought to lean into.
Speaker 3: It they'd to embrace. It they had to celebrate.
Speaker 2: It it is Super bowl or. Bust and it's not
Speaker 2: make it to the Super. Bowl it's win the freaking Super.
Speaker 2: Bowl they've made it to the Super bowl, before they've
Speaker 2: made it to THE Nfc Title game, before they made
Speaker 2: it to The divisional round last. Year it's not about
Speaker 2: winning ten. Games it's not about making the. Playoffs if
Speaker 2: The Carolina panthers won ten games and they made the,
Speaker 2: playoffs they'd.
Speaker 3: Throw a parade in Downtown. Charlotte, heck if.
Speaker 2: The raiders right, now for all the success they've had
Speaker 2: in their history as a, franchise if The raiders made
Speaker 2: the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Right, now they Would raider fans would be.
Speaker 2: Ecstatic they'd be, like oh my, god, amazing it's, amazing
Speaker 2: we did. It so everybody's got a different. Standard BUT
Speaker 2: i don't think you run from high. STANDARDS i think
Speaker 2: you embrace high. Standards SO i know there'd be some
Speaker 2: people that would be, like, ah you know, what you,
Speaker 2: know Super bowl or bus that's too that's too. Miserable
Speaker 2: like you, know if the odds of you being miserable
Speaker 2: are are too, High, ah that's a healthy way to.
Speaker 3: Live, okay maybe maybe.
Speaker 2: Not but if you're going to accomplish something that's really
Speaker 2: really highly, coveted like winning a Super bowl in a
Speaker 2: sport like pro football and twenty two twenty, six you're
Speaker 2: not lucking into. It you're not going to accidentally bump
Speaker 2: into a Super bowl. Title you're gonna have to be
Speaker 2: singularly focused and determined to the nth. Degree it's gonna
Speaker 2: take everything you got and then.
Speaker 3: Some SO i.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be afraid of. IT i would admit when that's the.
Speaker 2: STANDARD i, mean look at the forty nine ers right.
Speaker 2: Now Mike, evans older, Player Deebo, samuel older, player K Christian,
Speaker 2: kirk older, Player Trent williams thirty, Eight Jake brendle mid,
Speaker 2: Thirties George, kittle you, know in his mid, career but
Speaker 2: he's coming off In. Achilles so he's an thirty year
Speaker 2: old plus player coming off In. ACHILLES cmc just had
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifteen touches last. Year he's an older.
Speaker 2: Player he doesn't like to talk about, it admit, it
Speaker 2: think about, it but doesn't. Matter you are what you.
Speaker 2: Are that's what he. Is Nick bosa's torn HIS acl three.
Speaker 2: Times he's thirty or he's going to be thirty later this.
Speaker 2: Year Drake greenlaw veteran, Player Fred, warner veteran.
Speaker 3: Player there's a lot of.
Speaker 2: Youth on this, team but there's also about ten guys
Speaker 2: that are not going to be better in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: seven than they are in twenty twenty. Six and SO i,
Speaker 2: think if you're a forty nine er fan and you're a,
Speaker 2: realist if you're being honest with, yourself.
Speaker 3: Damn right at Super bowl or, bust damn.
Speaker 2: Right so the way it, is you, KNOW i, mean
Speaker 2: and nobody should be afraid of. That nobody should run
Speaker 2: away from, that nobody. Should you should embrace. That that's
Speaker 2: where you're. At you, know you're Not, Warner Greenlaw, bosa you,
Speaker 2: Know Trent Brendle, KITTLE, Cmc Mike. Evans they're not going
Speaker 2: to be here in three. Years maybe one of that
Speaker 2: group will be here in three. Years can't even tell
Speaker 2: you which. One so, yes it's absolutely the forty nine
Speaker 2: ers go. Time you could argue that they should have
Speaker 2: won That Super bowl in twenty.
Speaker 3: Three they had a loaded. Roster didn't.
Speaker 2: Happen they Had they Eyed mahomes in the in the
Speaker 2: play in The Super, bowl they had the lead in,
Speaker 2: overtime they had the lead in the fourth. Quarter they
Speaker 2: couldn't do, it couldn't put it, away couldn't get that,
Speaker 2: stop couldn't get the stop they. Needed so they blew
Speaker 2: their best. Opportunity that was probably the, window or not the,
Speaker 2: window that was probably their best. Shot that was when
Speaker 2: they had all their. Guys you, know you could argue
Speaker 2: the First niners Chief Super bowl that a lot of
Speaker 2: The niner corps was a little bit just glad to be,
Speaker 2: there you, know and you Had jimmy G i really
Speaker 2: think if That Super bowl team The niners had In
Speaker 2: miami that lost To Kansas city had had a HEALTHY Dj,
Speaker 2: jones they probably win that. Day and if they had
Speaker 2: Brock perty instead Of jimmy G i think they definitely
Speaker 2: win that, day and if they could have found a
Speaker 2: way to get the ball To Deebo samuel in the
Speaker 2: second half of that. GAME i, MEAN i Asked Kyle
Speaker 2: shanahan about that in the aftermath and he didn't like.
Speaker 2: It But i'm, like, Bro Deebo samuel was The Super
Speaker 2: BOWL mvp at halftime of that, game Super bowl favorite
Speaker 2: to win THE. Mvp in That Super bowl, Halftime deebo
Speaker 2: he got two touches in the second half of the,
Speaker 2: game AND i Asked shanahan about, it, Like, kyle how
Speaker 2: does he only get two touches there in the second
Speaker 2: half of the.
Speaker 3: Game kyle's, like, well it's not the way it. Works like,
Speaker 3: really you got a guy who's a running back and
Speaker 3: he's a.
Speaker 2: Receiver you can call virtually any play you want and
Speaker 2: hand it to, him and you're going to act like
Speaker 2: him touching the ball twice in the second half of
Speaker 2: The Super bowl In miami Against Kansas city was out
Speaker 2: of your. Control you're the play, caller call a run
Speaker 2: to him that he touches, it then throw the ball to,
Speaker 2: him AND i get. It you, know defense is are
Speaker 2: going to take away what they can take away and
Speaker 2: this and.
Speaker 3: That you can't totally dictate on.
Speaker 2: ANYONE a defense can, say we're gonna take this, away
Speaker 2: you're gonna beat, us but you're gonna beat us some other.
Speaker 2: Way but, seriously to two touches in the second half
Speaker 2: of The Super bowl For Deebo samuel when he's absolutely
Speaker 2: at the pinnacle of his, career that was a. Fail
Speaker 2: that was a. Mistake so that was their best. Opportunity
Speaker 2: they had another opportunity In. Vegas it didn't.
Speaker 3: Happen couldn't get it blocked, right couldn't couldn't get the
Speaker 3: ball out in.
Speaker 2: Time Chris jones made a play nine or zero, line
Speaker 2: didn't make a. Play blame whoever you, Want, burford blame
Speaker 2: what you, know whoever you want to blame for.
Speaker 3: That fine they.
Speaker 2: Lost Now here they, are it's twenty twenty. Six they're
Speaker 2: one of the older teams In pro. Football they got
Speaker 2: a core of ten players that are still among their best,
Speaker 2: players and they're not gonna be better in two, years
Speaker 2: and they're probably not gonna be In pro football in three.
Speaker 2: Years so, yes is this Year's Super bowl or?
Speaker 3: Bust damn? Right it? IS i mean absolutely it. Is
Speaker 3: it Is Super bowl or.
Speaker 2: Bust nobody's gonna be happy with. Up they won ten
Speaker 2: but they lost in the wildcard. Round, nope nobody's gonna
Speaker 2: be happy with. Us they won eleven, games but you
Speaker 2: know they lost in the. Division, now nobody's gonna be
Speaker 2: happy with. That people aren't gonna be happy with winning
Speaker 2: THE nfc title game and losing The Super.
Speaker 3: Bowl they've lost The Super bowl BEFORE i know we're in.
Speaker 2: That we're at that point where it's, like, Yeah so
Speaker 2: basically what you're saying is it's all or. Nothing, yes,
Speaker 2: yes not for. Everybody it's not all or. Nothing for The.
Speaker 2: Raiders they win ten games and missed the, Playoffs they're
Speaker 2: still gonna throw. Parades My raider fans are gonna be, like,
Speaker 2: dude we're, Coming are you kidding?
Speaker 3: Me we won ten. Games Fernando. Mendoza this For Nando
Speaker 3: mendoza that you know you take bad.
Speaker 2: Teams if The Arizona cardinals won a playoff, game they'd
Speaker 2: be freaking doing. Cartwheels Bid wells would be absolutely doing, handstands.
Speaker 3: Thrilled we want a playoff.
Speaker 2: Game you, know most teams would be happy with going
Speaker 2: to the playoffs and winning a couple of, games but
Speaker 2: not The, niners not this. Year and it's just the
Speaker 2: way it. Is you can say it's a miserable way to.
Speaker 2: Live you can say it's a miserable. Existence you can
Speaker 2: say it's doomed for failure or set up for you, know,
Speaker 2: discontent and maybe all those things are.
Speaker 3: Right it is what it.
Speaker 2: Is it's Super bowl or bust for The. Niners this
Speaker 2: year they win, it it's a great. Year they go
Speaker 2: and they lose.
Speaker 3: It not a great.
Speaker 2: Year that's what happens when you have Five Lombardi trophies
Speaker 2: in the trophy case and you have not won one
Speaker 2: in thirty freaking. YEARS i you, KNOW i was there
Speaker 2: for eighty, one you, know so you KNOW i was
Speaker 2: there for ninety. Four but everybody in, there you, know under.
Speaker 2: Thirty it's basically never seen the forty nine ers ever

Speaker 2: Know or do you? Know do you not want to?
Speaker 2: Know And i'm, like, NO i want to know how you.
Speaker 2: Feeling he's, like you, know we'll. See i'm HOPING i
Speaker 2: can get through this. Game you, know he knew going
Speaker 2: into That Vegas Super bowl that his achilles was dangling
Speaker 2: by a, thread that he was, like one bad, move
Speaker 2: the wrong direction away from rupturing that.
Speaker 3: Achilles he knew.
Speaker 2: It he knew, it and he basically told Me thursday,
Speaker 2: Night friday night before The Super, Bowl he's, like.
Speaker 3: You, Know i'm hoping.
Speaker 2: This i'm hoping, this you, know everything works, out hoping
Speaker 2: everything works, out you, know but he, knew he knew
Speaker 2: he was. Diminished he knew he was his achilles was,
Speaker 2: dangling and sure enough it went out on him on the.
Speaker 2: Sideline and you, know if you go back to the
Speaker 2: live mic of That niners Chief Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Patrick mahomes was.
Speaker 2: WORRIED i, Mean Trick mahomes came off the field after
Speaker 2: that first. Sequence if you ever, go if you ever
Speaker 2: if you get a chance to check out the H
Speaker 2: i think it's THE NFL nfl you KNOW Nfl films,
Speaker 2: version you know the the live mic which comes out
Speaker 2: about a week after The Super, bowl and you Have
Speaker 2: mahomes running over to the.
Speaker 3: Sideline, guys, guys we need to ramp this. Up we
Speaker 3: need to ramp up our. Intensity we need to ramp
Speaker 3: up our. Intensity they're more intense than us, there you, know.
Speaker 2: And he's yelling at his, dudes and it was all
Speaker 2: about Dre it was all about Green. Law if you,
Speaker 2: Remember greenlaw started That Super bowl In vegas with his.
Speaker 3: Hair on, fire on. Fire he was making every every.
Speaker 3: Tackle he was flying all over.
Speaker 2: The field because it means that much to, him and
Speaker 2: this was The Super bowl and he was letting it all.
Speaker 2: Go and then a one false step trying to come
Speaker 2: off the sideline ruptured The achilles. MAN i, mean what
Speaker 2: a bad break for The. Niners oh what a bad.
Speaker 2: BREAK i really think they could have Beaten Kansas, city
Speaker 2: not just, once but. Twice the first time they needed
Speaker 2: they really NEEDED Dj, jones they didn't have. Them they
Speaker 2: couldn't stop the. Run Kansas city ran the ball well
Speaker 2: in That Miami Super, bowl and The niners had dominated
Speaker 2: the run UNDER Dj, jones But jones couldn't. Play he
Speaker 2: had a bad. Ankle couldn't play made all the difference
Speaker 2: in the. WORLD i really believe The niners would have
Speaker 2: Beaten Kansas city if they had a HEALTHY Dj, jones
Speaker 2: Because Kansas city could not have run the ball in
Speaker 2: THE a gaps in that, game but they did and
Speaker 2: they had some success BECAUSE dj wasn't. There and then
Speaker 2: this Last Super, BOWL i really believed The niners would
Speaker 2: have Beaten Kansas city if it weren't.
Speaker 3: For The dre Green law.
Speaker 2: Injury that's how Great dre was, Playing that's how amazing
Speaker 2: he was looking that, day or that, night or that late. Afternoon,
Speaker 2: anyway But dre's feeling, good and how many games can
Speaker 2: he play this? Year that's a. Question you, know The
Speaker 2: niner thing is really interesting on a lot of. Fronts,
Speaker 2: one by the, WAY i don't know if you saw,
Speaker 2: this The commanders Signed Stefan diggs today or yesterday one,
Speaker 2: year twelve million. Dollars Brandon ayuk supposedly bought a home
Speaker 2: In virginia for ten million. DOLLARS i don't think he's
Speaker 2: going to the. Commanders the commanders don't have multiple they
Speaker 2: don't have needs for multiple. Receivers they don't need they
Speaker 2: don't Need. Ayuk and now that they have, digs they
Speaker 2: really don't Need. Ayuk they got, McLaurin they got McCaffrey's,
Speaker 2: brother they got a whole slew of other, receivers some new.
Speaker 2: Receivers they drafted. In Tony williams had A clemson in
Speaker 2: the third. Round they don't Need Brandon. Aiyuk and he
Speaker 2: supposedly just bought a ten was a ten or twelve
Speaker 2: million dollar home In. Virginia and that's a big home In,
Speaker 2: virginia by the, way that has to be about six
Speaker 2: thousand square. Feet SO i don't know what's gonna happen To,
Speaker 2: ayuk but it doesn't look good for. Him and then
Speaker 2: the question with The, niners you, know can Brock purty
Speaker 2: carry them this?
Speaker 3: Year Brock purdy has looked amazing in.
Speaker 2: Practice, YESTERDAY i think the, NUMBERS i Forget barrows had.
Speaker 3: It it was like thirteen of.
Speaker 2: Fourteen, yeah, no he, yeah thirteen of fourteen For purdy On.
Speaker 3: Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Today the report's coming out of practice is That perdy
Speaker 2: looked awesome and threw a couple deep touchdown, passes and
Speaker 2: he is playing at an incredibly high. LEVEL i mean
Speaker 2: this is coming from people that don't even Like Brock.
Speaker 2: Purdy they're, like he's playing. Amazing the guy to watch
Speaker 2: for Is Jordan. Watkins he had four receptions On, wednesday
Speaker 2: including a touchdown catch From Mac jones on a. Slant
Speaker 2: he looks like he's ready for. Takeoff he really looks.
Speaker 2: Good the other kind of, competition that's a real. Competition
Speaker 2: it sounds, like Is Robert jones Against Connor colby for
Speaker 2: the left guard. Spot and everybody kind of Thought Connor,
Speaker 2: colby you, know was gonna win that job going, away
Speaker 2: but then Yesterday Robert Jones Chris firster started him at
Speaker 2: left guard with The ones and said that he's not
Speaker 2: one hundred satisfied With Connor colby and What Connor colby
Speaker 2: has shown so. Far so once again the competition is
Speaker 2: on for that left guard spot Between Connor colby And Robert.
Speaker 2: JONES a lot of talk about should The niners make
Speaker 2: that one more? Move they got a ton of cap,
Speaker 2: space but they're looking to roll over a lot of
Speaker 2: that cap. Space but should they make one more? Move
Speaker 2: AND espn had an article yesterday saying The niners ought
Speaker 2: to trade For Jesse. Bates it was, like it was
Speaker 2: like The niners should trade a third round pick in
Speaker 2: the twenty seven draft to The falcons For Jesse bates
Speaker 2: and like a sixth round pick Now baits played For
Speaker 2: raheem and he's got a relatively reasonable thirteen million dollar
Speaker 2: cap hit In atlanta's thought being kind of a rebuild.
Speaker 2: Mode so if you could add one piece to the,
Speaker 2: puzzle would you want to Add Jesse bates the Third
Speaker 2: maybe he might be exactly what they.
Speaker 3: NEED a lot of people would love to see The
Speaker 3: niners go.
Speaker 2: After, vitavea But Jason, licked the general manager of The
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, bucks this, morning, said, MAN i have.
Speaker 3: No intention of Trading.
Speaker 2: Vidavea so even Though vidaveas is he wants, Out and
Speaker 2: even Though vidavea went to high school In, milpitis a
Speaker 2: stone's throw From, LEVI'S i wouldn't bank on. That and
Speaker 2: then there's always the people, saying go Get Max. Crosby
Speaker 2: but you, know it's just really hard to Imagine Mark
Speaker 2: davis trading with The. Niners just doesn't seem like it's gonna.
Speaker 2: Happen it doesn't seem like it's it's likely to. Happen you,
Speaker 2: know what's gonna be a key. FACTOR i think this
Speaker 2: year in the division is rookies in the. BACKFIELD i,
Speaker 2: mean look At. Seattle seattle said goodbye To Kenneth walker
Speaker 2: after he won The Super BOWL mvp and was a
Speaker 2: missing and they're leaning On Jadarian, price a kick, returner
Speaker 2: backup running back From Notre. Dame so If Jadarian price
Speaker 2: is not, Huge seattle's run game may not be.
Speaker 3: Great charbonnet is dinged. Up there is No.
Speaker 2: Walker arizona Drafted Jeremiah love really really. High supposedly he's
Speaker 2: not going to go tonight in The hall Of fame,
Speaker 2: game but he's going to be a key guy for,
Speaker 2: them as is you, Know, Beck Carson. Beck he's trying
Speaker 2: to win that starting quarterback. Job and then The. Rams If,
Speaker 2: stafford who's you, know, ancient if he's what thirty eight thirty,
Speaker 2: nine if he goes down with an, injury it Is
Speaker 2: Tye simpson. Time and then of course The niners Have Kaylon.
Speaker 2: Black SO i, mean you got some rookies in THE
Speaker 2: Nfc west that you, know it's it's if these guys step,
Speaker 2: up it could, be you, know whatever rookie is the.
Speaker 2: Star If Jadarian price is a, Star seattle's probably going
Speaker 2: back to the. Ball If Kaylon black is a, star
Speaker 2: maybe The niners are going to the. Ball If Jeremiah
Speaker 2: love is a, star Maybe arizona is a playoff.
Speaker 3: Team and if Ty simpson is a, star oh.
Speaker 2: My, god that would be. Terrible could you imagine if
Speaker 2: The rams went From stafford to Ty. Simpson so in
Speaker 2: the next, SEGMENT i want to talk a little bit
Speaker 2: About Dustin. Perry there's an awful lot of people saying
Speaker 2: all The niners are, Hurt The niners are, hurt Fire Dustin.
Speaker 2: Perry is that the? Answer we'll talk about that coming up.
Speaker 2: Next as we.
Speaker 3: Roll towards two on These Sports leader.
Speaker 1: AY nbr one oh four or five six eighty The Sports, leader.
Speaker 11: They start slapping in a little bit set three three
Speaker 11: times games That rio. Plays he's exactly. Right you you
Speaker 11: definitely don't know how many more opportunities you're gonna have
Speaker 11: it having a crack at, it you, know with with
Speaker 11: this group of, guys, right like you you've had guys
Speaker 11: here for a long, time the continuity with The kyle Us,
Speaker 11: checks The George, kittles The Drake Green, Laws Nick, bosas,
Speaker 11: like there's only so long that we're gonna have these
Speaker 11: opportunities together as this, group. Right SO i think that
Speaker 11: just makes you, know it increases your sense of urgency
Speaker 11: that much more to really make the most of, it you.
Speaker 11: Know but it's funny, though BECAUSE i feel like every
Speaker 11: year our sense of urgency is through the roof. Right
Speaker 11: ever Since i've been, here we've had the standard of
Speaker 11: winning a Super. Bowl it's always been Super.
Speaker 3: Bowl or bust for.
Speaker 11: Us so you, KNOW i think this year it's exactly
Speaker 11: the same.
Speaker 2: Way there you, Go Fred, warner welcome, Back Larry kruger
Speaker 2: with you on These Sports leader on This, thursday getting
Speaker 2: ready to hand the reins over To Cope's top of
Speaker 2: The hour And Dee pop for their. Show that Was Fred.
Speaker 2: WARNER i, mean it's there's no running from. IT i,
Speaker 2: mean it's now or. Never it's it's, okay it's okay
Speaker 2: to say it's Super bowl or. Bust because that's where
Speaker 2: The niners are. At It's Super bowl or what do
Speaker 2: they need to win This Super? BOWL i think they
Speaker 2: need three things to happen for. Them one is. Health
Speaker 2: and we're not off to a great, start. Right you
Speaker 2: got a bunch of guys who are. Dinged, now can
Speaker 2: you win A Super Bowl Ricky? Piersoll of? Course but
Speaker 2: if you start to keep losing guys one after, another
Speaker 2: that's gonna derail your chances pretty.
Speaker 3: Quickly so health is a big part of.
Speaker 2: It to, me there's two, major really three things major.
Speaker 3: Health you gotta be. Healthy got you can't have you.
Speaker 2: Know twenty seven guys you know on Ir you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to be, healthy especially your core ten. Guys you,
Speaker 2: know The, fred's the, CMCs The, warners The. BOSAS i
Speaker 2: Guess fredd is one of The Green, laws The, trance The,
Speaker 2: kittles all these.
Speaker 3: Guys they got to be. Healthy they can't go south.
Speaker 2: On you can't have a bunch of guys Like, ah
Speaker 2: they're not as good as they used to. Be and
Speaker 2: based on What i've seen this, summer they all look pretty,
Speaker 2: good all their top tier. Guys so you got to be,
Speaker 2: healthy your top twouys have got to do. It but
Speaker 2: it's also about pass. Rush you got to have pass.
Speaker 2: Rush if you have no pass, rush you're not going to.
Speaker 2: Win and last year the forty Nine ers were the
Speaker 2: worst pass rushing team in football and they still found
Speaker 2: a way to win twelve games and upset The eagles
Speaker 2: In philadelphia in the divisional. Round so you got to
Speaker 2: be able to move that quarterback off the. Spot you're
Speaker 2: just not good.
Speaker 3: Enough you could.
Speaker 2: Have Dion sanders And Lester, HAYES i mean, whatever whoever
Speaker 2: your greatest corners of all time Are Willie, brown you name,
Speaker 2: It Mike, haynes whoever the best corners are? Ever you
Speaker 2: could have two of, them and you're still not winning
Speaker 2: if you can't rush the. Passer you have to be
Speaker 2: able to speed up the. Quarterback you got to make
Speaker 2: him throw it before he wants to throw. It you
Speaker 2: got to make him throw. It you, know feel your
Speaker 2: defensive line and feel the urgency of the whole. Moment
Speaker 2: so gotta you gotta be. Healthy you gotta have pass
Speaker 2: rush to that. Front Nick wagner today on FROM espn
Speaker 2: On Grayson halton today at. Practice he, Says Grayson halton
Speaker 2: continues to make a strong first. Impression the guy has
Speaker 2: a lot of, juice with a quick first step and
Speaker 2: a short area, burst paired with some powerful hands that
Speaker 2: seemed to catch offensive linemen off. Guard he had impressive
Speaker 2: one on one wins Against Robert, Jones Connor, colby And Jake,
Speaker 2: brendle and then made some plays in the team. Periods,
Speaker 2: Also halton also is not afraid to express his, passion
Speaker 2: often letting out a yell after making a play or
Speaker 2: winning a one on one. Rep fresh legs, help but
Speaker 2: this is also what he flashed At. Oklahoma it's early
Speaker 2: and he needs to do it against someone, else but
Speaker 2: it's not hard to envision a role for him on
Speaker 2: third downs early on as a.
Speaker 3: Rookie so, yeah.
Speaker 2: He is a you, know OsO Digie zua gives The
Speaker 2: niners an inside rusher of, note, RIGHT i mean a
Speaker 2: significant inside, rusher somebody that has to be doubled. Inside
Speaker 2: but now you've Got Grayson, halton AND i, mean this
Speaker 2: guy really moves. Well at the beginning of, camp he
Speaker 2: didn't look all that, great but he's like he's made
Speaker 2: the adjustment and he was really. Moving yesterday in the
Speaker 2: practice he had one spin move in a one on
Speaker 2: one and he just landed right at the quarterback's face,
Speaker 2: mask and it's like.
Speaker 3: That this guy's a difference. Maker.
Speaker 2: Man this guy moves like a linebacker at two ninety,
Speaker 2: five so he gives you some inside. Rush the other
Speaker 2: thing that kind of stands out is you got to
Speaker 2: have some outside. Rush and The niners brought In. Okarnquo
Speaker 2: say that name five times, fast oh Ogbo. Okoronquo by the,
Speaker 2: way good luck to anybody doing the games this year
Speaker 2: if you've got to, do you, know broadcasts either stunts
Speaker 2: or twists or combo. Tackles for that Was Oh Digie
Speaker 2: zua And Okaron quo and Oh kwi.
Speaker 3: KNEW i mean you.
Speaker 2: Got three Long oh you, know oh is the first
Speaker 2: letter last names on THAT d. Line Oh Diggi zua And.
Speaker 2: OKARONQUO i mean that's gonna be a mouthful and a.
Speaker 2: Half But okaronquo yesterday just put on a show. Man
Speaker 2: he looks so good in the one on. Ones he
Speaker 2: was just abusing. Guys, now this guy was great At
Speaker 2: oklahoma And raheem drafted him in the fifth round in
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen draft with The.
Speaker 3: Rams spent four years.
Speaker 2: There he had a bust out year With DAMIKO i,
Speaker 2: believe or maybe it Wasn't, tamiko but it was with
Speaker 2: The texans in twenty, two and then he spent two
Speaker 2: years In cleveland in that wide nine Opposite Miles. Garrett
Speaker 2: so he's got experience in the wide. Nine he was
Speaker 2: he was doing the one on ones yesterday and just
Speaker 2: just abusing the young. Lineman now it Was Enrique, cruz
Speaker 2: it Was Isaac, alarcon it.
Speaker 3: Wasn't you. Know we're not talking About Anthony munoz in his.
Speaker 2: Prime we're not talking about the you, Know Trent williams
Speaker 2: even or Even colton. Mckimnitt's we're talking about guys that
Speaker 2: you probably should abuse if your Name's Agbo acaronquo and you've,
Speaker 2: played you, know five years in THE. Nfl but to,
Speaker 2: me that's, this you, know the pass rush THAT i
Speaker 2: saw From ocaronquo on the outside And halton on the,
Speaker 2: inside and it makes me feel, good makes me feel
Speaker 2: good about what could be. Coming one last thought on
Speaker 2: the forty nine. ERS a lot of people banging the
Speaker 2: drum on social media for calling For Dustin perry's. HEAD i,
Speaker 2: mean think about, that you're calling for the head of
Speaker 2: The niners strength and conditioning, coach because what you're assuming
Speaker 2: that the injuries all have to do with. Him he's
Speaker 2: supposed to make guys stronger and more. EXPLOSIVE i don't
Speaker 2: think he's necessarily responsible for every soft tissue injury that
Speaker 2: happens to one of the forty nine er. PLAYERS i
Speaker 2: just find that very. Odd you, know Fire Dustin perry really,
Speaker 2: really you, know just because of the mass number of,
Speaker 2: injuries and he's the strength and conditioning.
Speaker 3: Coach what about the? Trainer you, know when you're not
Speaker 3: gonna fire the.
Speaker 2: TRAINER i know The niners of twenty players of their
Speaker 2: ninety man camp roster who are dinged up right. Now
Speaker 2: but a, team to, me it seems a LITTLE i don't,
Speaker 2: know that seems a little over the top to be
Speaker 2: like Fire Dustin perry when nobody really knows If Dustin
Speaker 2: perry has direct influence or no influence on These niners
Speaker 2: who happen to get injured in training. Camp there's a,
Speaker 2: trainer there's an assistant. Trainer you know those, guys you,
Speaker 2: know they they don't get. Blamed but the strengthened conditioning
Speaker 2: coach because he's a little bit more omnipresent can't rich.
Speaker 3: Him he's gotta. GO i mean that's.
Speaker 2: Where you know social media AND x in particular becomes
Speaker 2: just a. Cesspool it's, Like Dustin perry's gotta be. Fired
Speaker 2: why because The niners signed some guy who's got a
Speaker 2: hamstring poll or he's they signed a thirty three year
Speaker 2: old receiver who suddenly has.
Speaker 3: Got a tight.
Speaker 2: Quad, Now Dustin perry's got to be crap. CANNED i
Speaker 2: don't know that. One that one to me seemed a little,
Speaker 2: like all, right everybody needs to just take a.
Speaker 3: Breath you take a deep.
Speaker 2: Breath you know that somebody has to be called on
Speaker 2: the carpet heads have to. ROLL i, mean it's, frustrating
Speaker 2: BUT i don't know that it's it's as simple, as,
Speaker 2: Oh Dustin perry's the strengthened conditioning coach and they have
Speaker 2: some injuries and thus fire. Him SO i can't endorse that.
Speaker 2: Anyway that's gonna do it for us, Today fast four.
Speaker 2: Hours thank you To Kyle. Haynes thank you To John,
