WEBVTT - Christian McCaffrey Returns to Practice, Plus a Look Around the NFL 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:04.800 You found Dirty Work with Adam Copeland and Derek Poppa 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:11.360 where no job is too dirty on KNBR The Sports Leader. 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.920 Dirty Work on a Monday afternoon, Adam Copeland, Deep Hoop, 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.079 Danny Done hanging with you just had Matt Mayoko on 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.119 forty nine Ers Insider from NBC Sports Bay Area. We 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.840 kind of reiterated what we thought and knew to be 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.120 true already the reporting on the Jed York situation, and 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:36.280 that's that it's already been handled legally and he's I 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.040 guess the NFL is investigating and they'll likely hand on 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.040 some sort of punishment. But as he pointed out, the 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.080 most comparable situation the Robert Craft won where there wasn't 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.440 any real punishment and anything that affected the football team whatsoever. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.120 And as Matt said, the day to day of the 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.680 team itself, none of that should change at all because 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:54.760 he's not really involved in that. 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.240 Yeah, I'm trying to think of other situations where owners 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.160 were punished, and I want to say, can remember one 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.120 particular like this? 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:02.760 This is the thing is I said this earlier, and 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.800 this is you can be happy about this or not 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.800 happy about this or anger like I can't, Like there's 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.080 nothing you could ever do about it. But again, it's 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.440 a punishment that will be handed to an owner as 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.120 decided by he and his fellow owners when these things happen, right, 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.520 you know what I mean? The same as like Roger 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.120 Goodell can hand down whatever he wants, but he's his 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.880 salary and his job is decided by that of the 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.479 NFL owners, right, So he's working for the league. 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:26.680 The owners are working for each other. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.240 So you make one guy available to be punished for something, 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.200 it may come back on you, is the way I 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.800 see it from their perspective, like they're kind of protecting 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.720 each other. Jerry Jones just had incidents in the past, 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.639 you know what I mean. There's been other other things. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.319 I just don't think any have we ever seen it. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:43.959 It's not like in college where a team will like 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.960 lose Bowl eligibility, right, have we seen a team lose 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.960 draft picks or anything that's more like cheating stuff. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.280 Jim Mersey was suspended for six games in twenty fourteen 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.919 for duy where he just wasn't around for games. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.400 But again, this is sort of like a boys club here, 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.960 not sort of it is. I always wonder how much 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.320 of that stuff is punted. How much of that stuff 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.160 is we were looking for other reasons to crap on 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.760 you for other things you've done and said that we 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.320 don't like, so we'll use this as the example. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.840 Yeah, you're right about that, because Jimmy Rossy wasn't the 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.080 favorite amongst every NFL owner, right he was kind. 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:15.760 Of a pushback guy. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.000 Yeah, he was a loud guy about it, and they 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.240 didn't like the way he operated. And I think when 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.880 they get an opportunity, they're like, all right, well, we 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.080 can't punish you for that stuff, but when the time 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.680 comes then that we can get away with them. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.799 Yeah, I mean, what's what happens here? But again, I'm 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.640 like you were. I think a lot of NFL owners 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.359 would be like, yeah, I do the same things. 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.680 I don't know, I can't speculate that far. I'm just 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.239 none of it surprises me. Come on, and they're handing 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.800 down punishment to a guy with their same job who 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.359 then could vote against them later on, And yeah, fair enough. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.960 Fair enough is always a little skewed. So I want 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.920 to get to some of the other stuff, Matt said. 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.600 George Kittle, if he doesn't play Week one, not likely 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.799 to travel, wouldn't travel doesn't make sense and probably smart, 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.600 And it seems like based on what Matt was saying 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.840 on his perspective, like Kittles on playing week one, we 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.600 two just might make sense, as we just pointed out 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.160 for the body clock. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.919 Stuff, seems like the most logical thing where yes, he's 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.280 in line to play, but again this is unprecedented with 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.000 the travels, so better it's best for him to stay behind. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.600 The other thing is left guard just totally up in 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.760 the air, Like there's no real answer for left guard 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.080 right now. Yeah, and you're asking thirty thirty eight year 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.960 old Truent Williams to sort of cover for some of that. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.880 But it does sound like Austin Pleasants is the guy 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:23.560 once he's healthy. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.680 I think that's really the only choice of this. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.080 And also it sounds like you're correct Christian Kirk probably 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.440 on IR to start the season. 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.520 Well maybe we'll see. I just that to me as 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:32.799 you were saying, You're like, well, we'll say. I'm like, 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.480 it makes the most sense because it gives you the 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720 most outs. If you don't think calling would clear waivers 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.520 and land on practice squad and Kirk is not practicing, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.240 is not one hundred percent healthy and there's a chance 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.160 he's missing games anyway. In the if you missed two 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.920 of the first four just to put them on ir, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.880 it's not worth it, right, keep calling, and it gives 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.760 you five weeks into week five before Seattle to decide 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.840 which path you go. And if he gets healthy and 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.400 somebody else needs a receiver, then you've got an option 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.760 potentially to move him. 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.920 All right. Christian McCaffrey did hit the practice field again. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:58.720 Pointed this out. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.640 Three hundred and forty three touches last year led the 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.240 NFL three hundred eleven carries, the most he's ever had 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.120 in his career by like a pretty good margin, you 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.880 know what I mean, like a decent number of carries, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.880 like a whole other game worth of carries. He did 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.600 the same thing where he led the league carry and 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.600 touches back in twenty twenty three twenty one touchdowns. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.280 Now, just go to the super Bowl and all that. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.599 The next year, usage was a problem, seemingly it was 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:22.279 ten tonights. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.920 It was a usage type of injury. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.479 So he's back on the practice field now after missing 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.560 some practice. Here's McCaffrey talking about how this was a 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.720 plan for him to ramp up cool off and then 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:32.400 ramp back up. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.159 Yeah, you know, obviously when you don't practice, you know, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.960 the way the way the media works now is firestorm. 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.599 But you know, this was kind of part of the 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.240 plan from the jump, was to ramp up pretty big, 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.320 get nine to ten practices in kind of come back 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.120 down and then ramp back up so we're fresh for 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:52.560 the duration. So you know, our staff's done a great 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.080 job of kind of coming up with specific plans. And 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.480 you know, again I feel great, So you know, feel 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.600 fresh and it's good to be back out there again. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.400 Dude, I think he sounds just like John Lynch. 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.839 They do have the same sort of cadence. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.760 But yeah, I believe him. I don't think it's anything 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.440 contract wise, like he knew that the younger guys we're 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.040 gonna get big time deals in b Jeon Robertson and 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.200 Jamior Gibbs. And yes, I think that there is some tightness. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.760 They're not gonna know which body part that is, but yeah, 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.800 I think it was part of the plant from the 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.799 get go. When it comes to Christian McCaffrey, Nick Bosa, 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.080 Kyle Shanan needs those guys. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.480 I mean, Mayo Goo is right now, mayrgu just joined 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.520 us in the full interview on the sports Leader dot 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.520 Com and the app in saying that, like, it didn't 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.839 make any sense to start practicing and then. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.440 Sit out after ten days of practice. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.560 If you were going to try to get a contract, Yeah, right, 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.240 if you were holding in for a contract, why would 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:39.440 you work? 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.279 Why would you start at all? Is the point? 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.159 Now you asked the question about whether or not they're 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.359 handling him differently McCaffrey, and I think you have to 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.320 believe they are. But I think they also have to 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.640 believe that they're handling the team different because of the 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.360 age of the roster. Is the age of the difference 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.400 making players right until the other guys prove it, the 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.960 younger guys or establish themselves. Your best hope right now 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.680 is banking on that core of aging, benged up guys 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.880 who shitting with the Warriors. But like, when they're at 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.280 their best, they can be really, really dangerous, especially with 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.560 Kyle Shanahan. 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.040 At the helm. 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.920 And also I think Kyle has to look within himself 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.400 to be like, Okay, it's obviously not the substation here, 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.239 but why are my guys getting injured? 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:16.640 Is it me? 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.560 Is it something else? Is the way we practice so 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.840 I think he's taken all that into account, especially when 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.920 McCaffrey in the amount of touches he had a year ago, 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.479 he doesn't want to repeat of twenty twenty four. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.080 Well, and that's what he brings up here. And that's 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.880 the one concerned I had coming into the season. I 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.279 think I said to you at the very end of 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.359 last year, is at what point do the Niners just 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.760 have to start thinking about life beyond Christian McCaffrey. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.000 Right, at what point can. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.240 They say a season was saved by him last year? Right, 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:40.640 like what he was able to do. I don't know 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.160 where they'd be without him anyway. Yeah, but like there's 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.920 nobody else they would have had they could have saved 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.800 them in the way that he did last season with 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.800 all the other pieces that were moving around. And we're 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.280 coming back and then falling off again. So like, at 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.080 what point can he not be that guy? The hope 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.279 is you can still maximize that value every time he 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.200 touches the ball this year. But here's McCaffrey on that 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.159 injury he had twenty four and how this has nothing 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:03.000 to do with his current work. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.000 I don't think it had anything to do with it, 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.680 you know, obviously there's you want to learn from the past, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.960 and you know, going through a full training camp is 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.840 a lot of work. And you know, I've monitored my 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.080 practice schedule since twenty nineteen. I remember North Turner used 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.760 to kick me out of practice in Carolina just cuz, 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.840 you know, say go find shade and uh, you know, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.440 I always you know, sometimes I can probably be my 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.800 worst enemy. And how much I just love being out there. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.240 I want to run, I want to go, I want 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.280 every you know, I want every play. I'm a competitor. 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:32.760 I love it. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.600 And but you know, I think again, when you have 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.520 people smarter than you than understand you know, not just 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.680 what you've been through, but what we plan on doing 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.880 this season, it's it's about being fresh for the duration, 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.080 and it's about seventeen Sundays and God willing you know, 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:47.320 more more weeks after that. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.280 Yeah, I mean it's obviously different injury, but of course, 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.960 you know, I want to repeat history and the way 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:53.800 that things are handled. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.840 Two years old and you're you're you're two years older 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:56.880 from when that happened before. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.480 Yeah, man, I'm thirty years old. They have to take 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.520 him an account where he is an older n back 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.120 and call. You acknowledged that, I think at the end 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.840 of the year press conference last year. So yeah, I 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.720 like the way they're doing things this year, and I 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.080 like to see more of christ McCaffrey spelled, to see 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.600 more of Jordan James or Kaylon Black, whoever's running back 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.880 at this point. But yeah, I like the way they're 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:15.720 handling things in this offense. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.920 I think he proved even at whatever was twenty seven 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.000 years old when they went to the Super Bowl, that 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.640 he was the best running back in the game. Then 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.040 I think he proved at that season twenty one touchdowns, 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.000 led the league in Russian nearly that like has been 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.000 thousand thousand, like all that stuff in his career he 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.400 established he's a Hall of Famer. He was still a 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.280 great running back that has already done it with the 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.959 shelf life at an elite level longer than most guys 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:36.280 do it. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:36.840 Right. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.280 I think he understands now at what he's been through. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.880 He said there and where they planned to go this year, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.719 that that title, not that that was anything he was 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.560 he was vying for, but that that title is not 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.240 the most important thing. What the most important thing is 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.440 is being fresh in the playoffs. Yeah, because if there's 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:54.280 one thing he doesn't have. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:55.559 It's it's a ring. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.920 Yeah, it's a super Bowl and so if he wants 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.240 to be there and he wants to compete for that 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.040 and be at his bat, he knows what he's got 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.360 to do has got to be different now than it. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:03.839 Was last year and the year before. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.079 Absolutely, So, while they're not related, I think the preparation 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.200 is it has to be related in that you're making 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.280 sure it doesn't happen again. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.400 No, you ding him out there. Yeah, there's a reason 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.280 why they made the postseasons because of Christian McCaffrey. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:15.880 Well, on that same tip, we're like the same sort 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.599 of thing about George Kittle, right need him. It's not 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.360 about being the best tight end of the game. It's 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.320 not about record setting. You can do all that, You've 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.240 done all that. It's about getting that Super Bowl. Here's 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.600 what Christian McCaffrey had to say about George Kittle getting healthy. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:27.640 It's unbelievable. 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:27.800 Man. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.280 I've been We've been watching him, you know, you know, 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.800 just because guys aren't out there practicing, they're still working out. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.520 So I've been watching him for the last i don't know, 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.760 four or five weeks going out there and working out, 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.200 and he looks incredible, and it's it's it really is amazing. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.840 It's a testament to his work ethic, how much time 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.720 he puts into recovering. But to come back this fast, 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.360 you know, there's a difference between coming back quickly and 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.400 coming back and looking like that, and so it's it's amazing. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:52.560 Man. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.160 When eighty five is on the field, when he's in 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.080 shoulder pads and a helmet, everybody on the team feels it. 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.360 It is incredible. It is incredible he's able to back 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.960 so quickly. But it sounds like it's probably gonna be 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.520 with George Kittle? What's up? 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:05.559 Is it that incredible? 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:06.040 I think so? 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.520 I mean again, I'm starting. I'm trying to start this 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:09.480 this theory. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:10.200 What's that? 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.240 This conspiracy theory? Okay, I'm gonna use all my power 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:13.720 to start it. 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:14.440 Go for it. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.280 The substation is healing George Kittle faster than it hurt him. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.520 I'll let you start that one get away, Camby are 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.840 is the substation actually on Kittle's side as it picked favorites? 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.680 Could be the case you or like you said, animantium, dude, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.160 that's true some wolverine stuff. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.840 But I don't think it's a substation. I think it's 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.360 George Kittle in his recovery. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:33.760 You can say, but it. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.760 Sounds like it probably would be more in line for 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:38.800 week two. But you asked an interesting question, as we 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.000 talked about earlier in the show, it was more likely 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.160 to play in Australia. Is it gonna be George Kittle 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:43.920 or Nick Bosa? 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.240 You said Bosa. I think you're probably right, but I. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:48.600 Want to be the list bit surprised that they keep 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:49.320 him out of that game. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.320 I see now what I'm saying. It's like we're getting 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:52.960 to the point where I'm like, what's up with Bosa? 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.960 Because like if you were gonna ask like a position, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.880 you almost asked, Mayo, go this it's probably a pregame question, 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.960 like the position you feel worse about today than you 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.040 did entering camp defensive end kind of Oh you know 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.160 what I mean, Like like Bosa's not been out there 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:07.600 practicing like normal, But. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.720 I think this maybe be this may be part of 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.160 the plan as well. Yeah, the same thing with McCaffrey, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.320 where yes, I think when we we hear Kyle say, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.800 oh he's got even said like himself with the knee 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.760 issue with Nick Bosa. I don't think the tend was 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.880 part of the plan, not part of the plan, but 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:26.679 he kind of like kind of like threw that out. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:27.880 Is it's something that happens. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.440 Yeah, So I think it may be the same thing 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:31.839 where it's like we're gonna have you practice for a 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.440 couple of weeks, then we'll you know, kind of have 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.080 you off a little bit and ease you back in. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:36.760 I think he's kind of doing the same approach with 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.240 McCaffrey that he's doing with Nick Bosa. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:39.800 That's what I'm saying. It's just it's just that having 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.400 to do that doesn't it doesn't like light the light 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.240 of confidence in me. It makes me more nervous about 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:48.559 how fragile. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.560 Is coming off of a major injury. 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.000 I totally agree. It's why this thing is fragile. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.600 And I don't feel great and haven't like the I 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.600 can't feel any different about the defense. And let's say 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:00.360 improve the pass rush and there's nothing to suggest we'll 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.520 see what happens with the DIGGI Zua. Yeah, but again, 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:03.880 that's not outside. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.839 No, it's not. There's nobody else and mikel Williams it 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.240 sounds like he's a long shot for Week one. 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.280 Oh no, I don't think he's back. No, I think 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:09.920 they've kind of made it. 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.559 So if you're down mike l Williams and Nick Bosa 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.680 week one, I mean it's like kind of like last 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.960 year when Matthew Stafford all day to throw against that defense. 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:19.920 I just I just don't know. I just don't know 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.800 because we haven't seen him on the field. And the 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.120 same with Evans, like he's dealt with three different sort 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.520 of nagging injuries and they say they pulled them from 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.040 practice today or yesterday as a precaution, right, I. 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:30.600 Mean it's concerned. 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.040 I don't like having to go for caution. He said 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:33.640 three injuries. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.440 This I know, but you know what, I will say this, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.440 and I get it. It's more amplified with the forty 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.720 nine ers, but when you look around the league, there's 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.520 so many guys that are just sitting out right now. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.080 And that's just the way that the coaches can handle 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.160 it when it comes to their veteran players, and Kyle 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.439 Shanahan's you know, no exception there, So I get it. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.280 I totally understand. At the same time, I'd rather be 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.400 safe than sorry, and hopefully all these guys play week 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:55.720 one well. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.840 Preseason injury fear is out of control, as evidence by 0:12:58.880 --> 0:12:59.920 what happened with Ashton j. 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:01.120 I thought he died. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.600 Yeah, with the the Las Vegas Raiders, Ashton Jenty injured 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.160 himself in practice yesterday and reports made it seem like 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.200 you tours cl that was not the case.
