Speaker 1: All right, welcome back sportsphone.
Speaker 2: On a Friday night final segment, John Dickinson here with you.
Speaker 2: Coming up in about ten minutes is Niners Nightly, our
Speaker 2: special Niners Nightly after Dark.
Speaker 1: I like these.
Speaker 2: We had one of these on Tuesday, another one tonight.
Speaker 2: A busy week for the forty nine Ers as they
Speaker 2: spent the last few days down in Los Angeles, the
Speaker 2: nice win in preseason game number two over the Chargers,
Speaker 2: and joining me to discuss that and everything else as
Speaker 2: we lead into Niners Nightly is of course, the great
Speaker 2: Larry Krueger.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Krug JD?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: Niners forty one seventeen. I guess maybe that joint practice
Speaker 3: nightmare that everybody was talking about, maybe it wasn't that
Speaker 3: big of a deal.
Speaker 2: Well, that's where I wanted to start, because I think,
Speaker 2: and we talked about this in the same segment on
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, the fact that it wasn't the forty nine
Speaker 2: ers best day really on either side of the ball
Speaker 2: on Tuesday down at the Chargers practice facilit and you
Speaker 2: were down there, and I think there was a lot
Speaker 2: of concern, and I know you laid out exactly what
Speaker 2: meant the most to you or didn't you know, mean
Speaker 2: a lot in terms of the things that went well
Speaker 2: or maybe more importantly didn't go well. But it felt
Speaker 2: as if the game and so far was completely the
Speaker 2: opposite in many respects to what we saw in the
Speaker 2: joint practices. Is that is that an oversimplification in your mind?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: No, no, I mean, I mean I think the Chargers
Speaker 3: decimation of the Niners on Tuesday was overblown. That was overblown.
Speaker 3: The Niner offense did a lot of good things against
Speaker 3: the Charger defense throughout that day. Then they got in
Speaker 3: the red zone and Derwin James made a couple of
Speaker 3: plays on the ball and and you know in the
Speaker 3: move the ball drill, they weren't quite as crisp and
Speaker 3: as sharp as they needed to be, and the Chargers
Speaker 3: were had a little momentum going. But it was just
Speaker 3: a random practice day. It wasn't like we were why
Speaker 3: watching the seventy five Steelers against an expansion team or something.
Speaker 3: It wasn't some disaster. And then defensively, the forty nine Ers,
Speaker 3: you know, without Bosa and without mckel are struggling, going
Speaker 3: to struggle to put up pass rush. But then a
Speaker 3: lot of those I was watching the other side on
Speaker 3: the binoculars, and there were several runs where I saw
Speaker 3: you know, linebackers of the Niners kind of tag off
Speaker 3: and the runners kept you know, continuing downfield, and you know,
Speaker 3: it looked I think it looked worse than it was.
Speaker 3: I think actually the forty nine Ers defense, you know,
Speaker 3: struggled to set the edge and the run game struggled
Speaker 3: to burn the edge pass rush wise and struggled a
Speaker 3: little bit with some of the Chargers speed and they
Speaker 3: have a lot of speed. But I think it was
Speaker 3: kind of overblown, and I, or maybe the forty nine
Speaker 3: Ers were, you know, turned off by Brennan Thompson say,
Speaker 3: hey man, we do we dominated them, and the Niners
Speaker 3: came to play. But forty nine Ers have two really
Speaker 3: good quarterbacks in Brock Pretty and Mac Jones, and they played,
Speaker 3: you know, perty you played a little bit, and then
Speaker 3: Jones came out and play a little bit more, where
Speaker 3: the Chargers only played one series of Herbert and then
Speaker 3: it was Trey Lance and Trey Lance is struggling, and
Speaker 3: then dj Ugleile is you know, he's he's got a
Speaker 3: great arms, he's a you know, trades based prospect. But
Speaker 3: he's not a ready made NFL quarterback. So I mean,
Speaker 3: those guys came in and were what's seventeen of thirty
Speaker 3: one one touchdown and they just didn't move the ball
Speaker 3: that well. So maybe maybe it was just the Chargers
Speaker 3: quarterbacks weren't all that great.
Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to get into that, and I think
Speaker 2: you're right, and I do want to touch on Dejon
Speaker 2: Stribling of course, and Kaylon Black because I think those
Speaker 2: were the two major standouts again for the forty nine Ers,
Speaker 2: and it's two weeks in a row for Stribling, and
Speaker 2: Kaylon Black was sort of the guy in the Stribbling role.
Speaker 2: I felt like going into the Charger game and that
Speaker 2: everybody wanted to see what he had in the tank
Speaker 2: and could he deliver, And I think he did in
Speaker 2: a big way. But let's start with the Niner defense. Actually,
Speaker 2: because we talked a lot about how there's so much
Speaker 2: talent and you don't really know how the talent is
Speaker 2: gonna fit. They played pretty well, but I was talking
Speaker 2: to Copes a little bit about this. The defense played well,
Speaker 2: but I didn't necessarily come out of the game thinking
Speaker 2: that anything that I saw made me feel more confidently
Speaker 2: about the regular season than maybe I was to begin with,
Speaker 2: how do you sort of parse through and a lot
Speaker 2: of that is the guys that were playing on the
Speaker 2: charger side of it, but they did play well last night,
Speaker 2: the guys who were out there, So what did you
Speaker 2: think of just the forty nine or defense overall?
Speaker 1: In terms of the guys who did get opportunities to play.
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of young defensive players who really
Speaker 3: flew around and made a lot of plays. I mean,
Speaker 3: just looking at the box score. I mean Jalen Stroman,
Speaker 3: the rookie safety from Notre Dame. I thought he put
Speaker 3: himself on the map. He had a really good day game.
Speaker 3: Tatum Bethune had another really good game. Two TFLs, six tackles.
Speaker 3: He was flying around, Nick Martin, Garrett Wallow, Ephesian's price sock,
Speaker 3: Jacob Robinson, you know Sam Aquin who played really really well,
Speaker 3: Jayden Duggar. So there was a number of defensive players that,
Speaker 3: you know, really shined. I think maybe if there's a
Speaker 3: couple of themes, I mean, one is that the the
Speaker 3: Niners young defensive tackle group of Bryson Easton, James Thompson
Speaker 3: and Grayson Halton are out playing CJ. West and Alfred
Speaker 3: Collins and what's gonna come of that? What's gonna happen there?
Speaker 3: And I don't think there's any question here. Here's the
Speaker 3: other thing. It's like Raheem Morris is the new regime,
Speaker 3: and West and Collins were drafted by the old regime.
Speaker 3: It's the same general manager. And it's not like those
Speaker 3: guys don't have allies within the organization, but it's the
Speaker 3: Raheem Morris show and Raheem.
Speaker 2: And we know the coaching staff as a big role
Speaker 2: in draft picks, and to your point, that was the
Speaker 2: Robert Sala regime in terms of that.
Speaker 3: And James Thompson Junior, the rookie from Illinois and before
Speaker 3: that Wisconsin was the highest graded forty nine er defensive
Speaker 3: player across the board of all So he's playing well.
Speaker 3: Bryson Easan's playing well. Grayson Holton didn't suit up in
Speaker 3: this game because he's got a little bit of an injury,
Speaker 3: but he's playing even better. So those three guys are
Speaker 3: giving the forty nine ers more than CJ. West and
Speaker 3: Alfred Collins. And if you and the Niners even re
Speaker 3: signed Evan Anderson, the other day, I think they're on
Speaker 3: the verge of either cutting or trading CJ. West or
Speaker 3: Alfred Collins.
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean, and that it's interesting because as you
Speaker 2: look at the depth chart, you know that you can't
Speaker 2: keep everybody. That's the one thing that I think you
Speaker 2: know for sure is that you're not going to be
Speaker 2: able to keep all of the young talent and a
Speaker 2: lot of it that they like among that group. But
Speaker 2: I think the other thing that stood out to me,
Speaker 2: just defensively still is there's a lot of interior talent,
Speaker 2: and I'm still kind of waiting for who the guys
Speaker 2: are going to be on the outside that are going
Speaker 2: to step up, not named Nick Bosa, assuming Nick Bosa
Speaker 2: is healthy, So that that's still to me is a concern,
Speaker 2: I think. But they had the one sack late but
Speaker 2: and and look, I'm not enamored with stats and collective
Speaker 2: team performances necessarily in the preseason, but I'm waiting for
Speaker 2: guys to flash in that vein, and it just it
Speaker 2: hasn't happened to the extent that I think I want
Speaker 2: to see.
Speaker 1: I've seen it at other positions.
Speaker 2: A lot of the guys you laid out, I've seen
Speaker 2: it in terms of a bunch of these guys on
Speaker 2: the on the inside of the defensive line. I'm still
Speaker 2: kind of waiting to see it on the outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean they had twenty sacks last year and their
Speaker 3: big addition on the defensive end spot is Romelo Height.
Speaker 3: I mean, Ramelo Height is not Alden Smith. No, no,
Speaker 3: this and this is not you know, he's not the
Speaker 3: kind of guy that's going to come in and lighted up.
Speaker 3: He's a two hundred and forty pound pass rush specialist
Speaker 3: who has to be played in, you know, in a
Speaker 3: rotation with other guys. And you know, I think this
Speaker 3: defensive end group is gonna look pretty good once Bosa
Speaker 3: and mckel are healthy, because you'll have Bosa, Michel sam O,
Speaker 3: Kean White, Ramelo Height, ogbo Ocuronquo played well and so
Speaker 3: I think you're you're probably covered. But man, I mean,
Speaker 3: if you could, if you could, you know, add one
Speaker 3: more significant defensive end, I think that would be in
Speaker 3: their best interest because I mean, Quintin Bell just signed
Speaker 3: off the street, right Titus Leo was cut the other day,
Speaker 3: but he was playing first quarter snaps. Victor de mcagee,
Speaker 3: Xavier Thomas. These are waiver wire. You know, guys, these
Speaker 3: are bottom of the barrel roster kinds of guys, and
Speaker 3: you know you got you don't have one of them,
Speaker 3: you have like four of them, So that they could
Speaker 3: definitely use one more defensive end.
Speaker 2: I think definitely on somebody from the outside. But I
Speaker 2: don't know necessarily that a street free agent right now
Speaker 2: is the order.
Speaker 1: Of the day. Here's the other thing that's popped up
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: I've sort of opined that I think the Niners are
Speaker 2: waiting to see what they have, and I think they
Speaker 2: like a lot of what they have on the interior,
Speaker 2: as I've mentioned a couple of times. But I think
Speaker 2: they're waiting to see what they have, how good they are,
Speaker 2: how much they get about get out of Nick Bosa,
Speaker 2: how much Raheem Morris can can scheme things up. And
Speaker 2: then if they truly feel they need one more outside guy,
Speaker 2: they'll look to make that move at the deadline.
Speaker 1: And if they think that that move will put them.
Speaker 2: Over the top in terms of Super Bowl contention, they
Speaker 2: will be willing to give up a premium to make
Speaker 2: it happen. And in essence, waiting is not the end
Speaker 2: of the world. I know there's a lot of well
Speaker 2: they missed out on von Miller and you could have
Speaker 2: got this other guy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of wanting to make it happen. Now.
Speaker 1: Where are you on, Like, does it need to happen now?
Speaker 2: Or can the forty nine ers play the season out
Speaker 2: a little bit, see what they have and if they
Speaker 2: are that one pass rusher away, re engage on somebody
Speaker 2: like a Max Crosby that it's going to take a
Speaker 2: lot to get or re engage on somebody else that
Speaker 2: may pop free here as other teams sort of fall
Speaker 2: out of the race.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of different ways to
Speaker 3: play your hand to cards here. I mean, one thing
Speaker 3: you don't want to do is you got a lot
Speaker 3: number of older players. I don't know that you want
Speaker 3: to move a lot of draft pick capital for the
Speaker 3: twenty seven draft. You know, before you know your status
Speaker 3: as a contender, but at the you know so like,
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to trade because those
Speaker 3: same picks that you're trading away, you know right now
Speaker 3: for an extra player, you're going to want to be
Speaker 3: getting more picks by the middle of the year. If
Speaker 3: the bottom falls out with some of your veterans, So
Speaker 3: you got to remember that. But then you look at
Speaker 3: the Niners schedule and you see look at look at September.
Speaker 3: You know, they get the Rams in Australia, but then
Speaker 3: you got Dolphins, Cardinals, got Awen, got a wind, you
Speaker 3: got Broncos, you got the Commanders. After Seattle, you got Atlanta,
Speaker 3: you got Raiders. Literally going into the middle of November,
Speaker 3: you have a stretch there where you have one, two, three, four, five,
Speaker 3: at least five maybe six very winnable games. So I
Speaker 3: don't know that I would want to wait until the
Speaker 3: bye week, which is week eight, which is right when
Speaker 3: the trade deadline is. I don't know if i'd want
Speaker 3: to wait to the bye week to add something, because
Speaker 3: I think you may need to bank wins over Atlanta, Washington, Arizona,
Speaker 3: Miami to Withstan December. In December, you're on the road
Speaker 3: against the Giants in the cold weather. Then you're at
Speaker 3: home against the Rams, You're in La on a short
Speaker 3: week against the Chargers, You're at Arrowhead against the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: you're home against the Eagles, and then you have Arizona
Speaker 3: to finish. But that's a one two, three four, it's
Speaker 3: kind of a five or six week stretch there, because
Speaker 3: you play Seattle as well in week twelve. That's a
Speaker 3: six week stretch that's really difficult. And so I think
Speaker 3: you need a bank wins early. So I don't know
Speaker 3: that I would be wasting too much time in the
Speaker 3: first half of the year. I mean, you're a contending team,
Speaker 3: you're you know you you see yourself as a contender.
Speaker 3: It would take a lot of disappointment and a lot
Speaker 3: of bad, bad things for them not to be a contender.
Speaker 3: So I know what you're saying, though, you don't want
Speaker 3: to trade a bunch of draft capital. But if you're
Speaker 3: trading a player like a Mac Jones or a Curtis
Speaker 3: Rourke or somebody like that, or a player that you
Speaker 3: don't think fits and Alfred Collins, I think you might
Speaker 3: see that kind of a trade earlier. But you know,
Speaker 3: the the higher gun type trade more towards the deadline.
Speaker 2: Well, and maybe they can't wait. I mean that that
Speaker 2: could come to fruition. I mean, I'm with you. I
Speaker 2: mean it's in the sense that, yeah, you have to
Speaker 2: beat you know, the Rams game is the game. You
Speaker 2: have to beat Miami, you have to beat the Cardinals,
Speaker 2: you have to at a minimum, I think beat the
Speaker 2: Commanders and the Raiders at that point, and probably Atlanta,
Speaker 2: and if you know you need to be no worse,
Speaker 2: I think probably than five and three. You know, four
Speaker 2: and four I think would feel like a disappointment. So
Speaker 2: five and three almost feels like the baseline. How do
Speaker 2: you get to that? If maybe you lose to Denver,
Speaker 2: Seattle and the Rams, and not saying that that's a guarantee,
Speaker 2: but if you lose those three then you basically have
Speaker 2: to run the table in those other games. But I
Speaker 2: think even if they are five and three, they'd know
Speaker 2: obviously at that point that they'd have to add moving forward.
Speaker 2: You're listening to KMBR one O four five FM and
Speaker 2: sixty eighty AM, San Francisco, the Sports Leader, a Cumulus
Speaker 2: Media station. As we get into the nine o'clock hour, here,
Speaker 2: Niners Nightly coming up with Kruge.
Speaker 1: We're doing a little sports phone.
Speaker 2: Niners Nightly crossover on the Friday night before Niners Nightly
Speaker 2: after dark here, So we'll we'll just kind of keep
Speaker 2: things rolling here. Krug Always great to have an opportunity
Speaker 2: to chat with you, and I'll let you kind of
Speaker 2: take the reins here coming up as we get into
Speaker 2: the nine o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to ask you about brock Purty.
Speaker 2: But I also think we need to get to Dajon
Speaker 2: Stribbling and Kaylon Black because I think those two were
Speaker 2: the headliners from the game in LA against the Chargers. Yes,
Speaker 2: I know Stribling had the drop on the would be touchdown,
Speaker 2: but I think he just continued to impress as an
Speaker 2: extension of his first game, and I thought Kaylon Black,
Speaker 2: I mean, the numbers are not necessarily flashy, but the
Speaker 2: running style I thought was a big time statement. Just
Speaker 2: give you your thoughts on Kaylon Black in his preseason
Speaker 2: debut and Dejon Stribbling gett an opportunity to work with
Speaker 2: Brock Purty and Mac Jones for the first time here
Speaker 2: in the preseason.
Speaker 3: You know, Kaylon Black's interesting. I'll compare him to like
Speaker 3: an NBA rookie who is ready to contribute and is
Speaker 3: really refined across the board. You know, some guys look impressive.
Speaker 3: Oh look at this guy and look at his jumper,
Speaker 3: or look at his look at his vertical look at
Speaker 3: his you know, above the rim game, or look at
Speaker 3: his athleticism, and everybody're like oh, look at that guy.
Speaker 3: But then does he really know how to play? And
Speaker 3: does he do the little things that it takes to win?
Speaker 3: And you know, can he play in the fourth quarter?
Speaker 3: Does Kurr trust him in the fourth quarter? And these
Speaker 3: all kinds of things like that, Well, same kind of
Speaker 3: thing in football. I mean, you know, wow, you can
Speaker 3: show strength or power or speed or you know, catching
Speaker 3: ability or you know, but then it's like, how much
Speaker 3: do we get to trust this guy with the money,
Speaker 3: with the you know, money on the table, the game
Speaker 3: on the line, all those cliches, but it really is
Speaker 3: true and those nuance it's a nuanced deal. But Bobby
Speaker 3: Turner is an old school throwback coach and he just
Speaker 3: demands that if you're going to be a running back,
Speaker 3: you can't just be a nominal blocker. You have to
Speaker 3: be a willing blocker and you have to do it well.
Speaker 3: And this guy is a you know, Kylon Black is
Speaker 3: a stone stone, you in the hole kind of a
Speaker 3: kind of a blocker. And we saw that last night.
Speaker 3: I mean, it reminds me of Garrison Hurst or you know,
Speaker 3: Frank Gore back in his prime, just you know, just
Speaker 3: a powerhouse guy that's gonna just stripe on a stripe
Speaker 3: and you're gonna have to truck me or I'm gonna
Speaker 3: you know, you're gonna have to go through me if
Speaker 3: you're getting to the quarterback. He's just such a good blocker.
Speaker 3: And then he's a pretty natural receiver, even though he
Speaker 3: wasn't utilized that way at Indiana. And he hits the hole,
Speaker 3: he reads the blocks, and he just does a lot
Speaker 3: of things very efficiently. And I don't even think last
Speaker 3: night was one of his better games. I thought he
Speaker 3: misread a number of the runs. But his heart is,
Speaker 3: you know, a great running back. If you know you
Speaker 3: can feel the will of a great running back. You
Speaker 3: could feel the will of em At Smith in the nineties,
Speaker 3: and you know you could feel the will at times
Speaker 3: of Walter Payton in the late and early eighties. You
Speaker 3: could feel the will of great great backs. And you
Speaker 3: can kind of feel the will of Kaylon Black. He
Speaker 3: is really tough, so he adds a lot of toughness.
Speaker 3: A really good blocker. He's a better blocker than CMC.
Speaker 3: He can run in short yardage with power and keep
Speaker 3: the chains moving. He can catch it out of the backfield.
Speaker 3: Very trustworthy, very competitive. So yeah, I mean they got
Speaker 3: and then stribbling another guy. You know, he's he's a
Speaker 3: rookie in name only. He's very mature. He got big hands,
Speaker 3: and he catches away from his frame, and he's a
Speaker 3: willing blocker and he's not he's really tough. He's like
Speaker 3: the son of a military guy. He's not intimidated by
Speaker 3: a lot of the yapping that that you see in
Speaker 3: the NFL. Somebody doesn't get caught up in it. He
Speaker 3: comes down with these fifty to fifty grabs. He made
Speaker 3: a catch in the in the in the end zone
Speaker 3: in El Segundo from Mac Jones on a back shoulder
Speaker 3: where the defender was not full. It was like a
Speaker 3: sea of hands going for the ball, and he just
Speaker 3: took one extra step back towards the ball and plucked
Speaker 3: it out of the air with his hands. Got very
Speaker 3: strong hands. So yeah, I mean the Niners needed not
Speaker 3: just a good draft. They didn't need just guys to
Speaker 3: make the team. They need guys who can lead the charge.
Speaker 3: And in Stribbling in Black, that's what they got.
Speaker 2: Now they did in a big way, and I think
Speaker 2: it also maybe changes the conversation. I mean, go back
Speaker 2: to draft night and all the heat that the forty
Speaker 2: nine ers were taking. And look, you never know, I
Speaker 2: mean to me. To me, it's always you can have
Speaker 2: an opinion on where somebody is selected. But the thing
Speaker 2: that I always keep in the back of my mind,
Speaker 2: Krug is if guys prove that they can play immediately,
Speaker 2: even a handful of them, it doesn't have to be everybody,
Speaker 2: but especially your top picks. If they prove that they
Speaker 2: can get on the field immediately, everybody's gonna forget where
Speaker 2: exactly they were picked and whether or not they were
Speaker 2: a reach, and should you only get into that they
Speaker 2: should have taken this guy or that guy when the
Speaker 2: other guys are playing and your guys are not seeing
Speaker 2: the field because they haven't earned the opportunity, And then
Speaker 2: everybody kind of wonders why that's not It looks like
Speaker 2: it'd be the case with Stribbling or Kaylon Black.
Speaker 3: You know, I used to have a saying at the
Speaker 3: end of my show when I hosted Sports Phone in
Speaker 3: the nineties. At the end of the night, I'd be like,
Speaker 3: all right, Larry Krueger, often wrong, seldom in doubt. Then
Speaker 3: we'd all laugh and I'd say good night, everybody. See
Speaker 3: tomorrow at seven. I love that people are passionate about
Speaker 3: football and passionate about the Niners. But people just were
Speaker 3: getting downright indignant about you know, John Lynch efed it up.
Speaker 3: And it's like, dude, you spent an hour and a
Speaker 3: half and he's spent hundreds of hours. And I'm not
Speaker 3: saying defer. I don't defer to anybody.
Speaker 4: But I you know, if all you know, if all
Speaker 4: you're armed with is the consent, what's this opinion that
Speaker 4: I've noticed in the mock drafts, whatever the heck that means,
Speaker 4: is that stribbling should go between sixty and eighty and
Speaker 4: that he.
Speaker 3: Goes, you know, thirty four or whatever, thirty three.
Speaker 1: Thirty three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's all you know. And you're gonna take
Speaker 3: John Lynch in the Niners personnel department, groups of guys
Speaker 3: who are pretty damn smart spend a ton of time
Speaker 3: on this. I'm not saying they're not fallible and not
Speaker 3: without criticism or whatever not. You know, you can't criticize.
Speaker 3: You can criticize, but I mean, temper it. Temper your
Speaker 3: criticism knowingly. I mean, I've run that film back and forth.
Speaker 3: I used to work for the Arizona Cardinals. I've done
Speaker 3: personnel in the Canadian League. I've sat there for hours
Speaker 3: making my contact lens prescription go bad as I'm rolling
Speaker 3: film back and forth looking for answers on this film endlessly.
Speaker 3: And I know what it means to roll that film
Speaker 3: back and forth for like thirty five hours over the
Speaker 3: course of a week, as opposed to what we do
Speaker 3: where I feel like I'm all over it. But I'm
Speaker 3: spending an hour here, an hour there, two hours here,
Speaker 3: four hours there. I'm not spending I'm not camped out
Speaker 3: watching every element of practice film and every single player
Speaker 3: thousand eligible players for the draft. So I'm gonna tell
Speaker 3: you what I think, and I'm gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: pull any punches, but this we know. I spent five
Speaker 3: minutes on it, and I know more than John Lynch
Speaker 3: is tired. And and it's like that for baseball too.
Speaker 3: It's like I went to one game and buster you
Speaker 3: pose he's an idiot. Okay, all right, but I mean
Speaker 3: that's not reality. It's not balanced, it doesn't represent the
Speaker 3: time invested. And just just think of it this way.
Speaker 3: If somebody came to your place of work where you're
Speaker 3: investing forty hours or fifty hours a week in your job,
Speaker 3: and you know that they're spending forty five minutes to
Speaker 3: an hour and a half. We're searching the kinds of
Speaker 3: things that you do at your job. And then they
Speaker 3: start telling you what's wrong, why you where you're screwed up,
Speaker 3: and why they're right and you're wrong. You'd be like,
Speaker 3: what do you know about it? Like if somebody's sitting
Speaker 3: there telling you and I all about how to host
Speaker 3: a successful radio show and you don't have a radio
Speaker 3: show and you've never had a freaking radio show, but
Speaker 3: you're gonna tell Larry Kruger and John Dickinson, who've been
Speaker 3: on the radio combined for three decades, how to do
Speaker 3: a radio show. I mean, I'm not saying that we
Speaker 3: couldn't take some criticism, but just check yourself, people, That's
Speaker 3: all I would.
Speaker 1: Say, no, no doubt.
Speaker 2: And so it's interesting because again, to me, it just
Speaker 2: comes down to if the guys that you pick can
Speaker 2: get on the field and contribute in a meaningful way.
Speaker 2: And it looks like Stribbling and Kaylon Black at a
Speaker 2: minimum are going to do that. Well, there are some
Speaker 2: others that might as well. Then to me, everything should
Speaker 2: calm down. It's and this is where I do think
Speaker 2: some of the criticism has been fair over the years.
Speaker 2: It's not you should have taken this guy, you know,
Speaker 2: at a different spot because of consensus or anything like that.
Speaker 2: It's more just the Niners two often have had guys
Speaker 2: that for whatever reason haven't been on the field, and
Speaker 2: then others picked either around them or after them, or
Speaker 2: you know, guys that potentially they could have gotten have
Speaker 2: been more productive. Like that's to be a different conversation
Speaker 2: than you know, the obsession with consensus.
Speaker 1: Because I'm with.
Speaker 2: You, I mean that I was sort of I was
Speaker 2: out on that, like I was kind of wondering about
Speaker 2: these picks. But it's funny because stribbling in black are
Speaker 2: the two in particular that I thought, well, let's just
Speaker 2: wait and see if they can play or not, you know,
Speaker 2: come September the tenth and be contributors. And if they can't,
Speaker 2: then we'll have a conversation about the drafts of the
Speaker 2: years and all that. But if they can, then this
Speaker 2: is much ado about nothing at this point.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I will say this, I mean, and
Speaker 3: I'm as critical as many, if not more critical than some.
Speaker 3: But I I just think that what you're really looking
Speaker 3: for in the draft is you're looking for that that
Speaker 3: cross section of guys who have the collegiate production they
Speaker 3: can play football, because it's not it's not a track meet,
Speaker 3: it's football. It's a game. It's like it's like me
Speaker 3: telling you, oh, yeah, this guy's gonna be an awesome
Speaker 3: power forward. Why oh dude, he's six nine, he's two
Speaker 3: fifty five. He's okay, but but he could I I
Speaker 3: could hand you a guy that's six nine, two fifty five,
Speaker 3: But what if he can't play basketball? Right then all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's like krug, he' six nine fifty five.
Speaker 3: You're right, but he can't play basketball. So these are
Speaker 3: these are skill based games. So you gotta be good
Speaker 3: at the game first of all, before your athleticism. You
Speaker 3: gotta be good at the game. Now, then you get
Speaker 3: a group of guys that are really good at football.
Speaker 3: Then you got to look for the guys of the
Speaker 3: guys that are really good at football who also have
Speaker 3: those advanced traits athletically, because the NFL is about athletic freaks,
Speaker 3: and guys with athletic traits are commonplace in the NFL.
Speaker 3: So once you're picking from that group of players, he's
Speaker 3: a great college football player and he has really advanced,
Speaker 3: high level, you know, ninetieth percentile type traits of strength
Speaker 3: and speed, flexibility, quickness, that kind of thing. That's when
Speaker 3: you draft the guy, and that's Kaylon Black, and that's
Speaker 3: Dayshon Stribbling. Dejon Stribbling was really really productive in college.
Speaker 3: But he also ran four three six ten inch hands.
Speaker 3: You know, he's got a lot of real great testing numbers.
Speaker 3: Kaylon Black blocks like a like a crazed guy, and
Speaker 3: it was really good at Indiana they won the national championship.
Speaker 3: But he also, you know, is really really strong and
Speaker 3: really really quick and a dominant athlete.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like, so you gotta have both. If you go
Speaker 3: for athletes that aren't college football players, you wind up
Speaker 3: with you know, the you know, the Dandy Grays of
Speaker 3: the world or whatever, guys that look great and they're
Speaker 3: running fast, but they don't actually play. Or if you're
Speaker 3: looking for guys that did they play great but they
Speaker 3: don't have NFL measurables, well then you got Junior Bergen
Speaker 3: left and right. He was a great player at for
Speaker 3: the Montana Bobcats or whatever. But he doesn't have NFL
Speaker 3: high level traits, so he kind of tops out as
Speaker 3: just a low level backup type player. So when you
Speaker 3: get when you hunt for the combo, great production, great traits,
Speaker 3: you wind up with Alden Smith, you wind up with
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice, you wind up with Dejon Stribbling and the Niners.
Speaker 3: You know, I think did that this year. They weren't
Speaker 3: as concerned about the you know, the consensus boards, and
Speaker 3: they just handicapped it and said, we want productive football
Speaker 3: players who have high end athletic traits. They married those
Speaker 3: guys together and they I think you're gonna benefit greatly
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 2: Last thing I wanted to touch on it, and now we're
Speaker 2: well into the nine o'clock hour here in Niners Nightly
Speaker 2: after Dark, Krug, so I want to let you kind
Speaker 2: of steer and set up your show for the for
Speaker 2: the remainder of the hour.
Speaker 1: But but the one thing I promised you for.
Speaker 2: Tuesday Brock Parties preseason to this point is training camp
Speaker 2: specifically obviously gets out in La last night plays in
Speaker 2: the one series.
Speaker 1: What is a Brock Purty leap? What would that look
Speaker 1: like to you?
Speaker 2: I've been asking a bunch of different people just to
Speaker 2: get their thoughts, because there is a poise and just
Speaker 2: a confidence that I've noticed from the days that I've
Speaker 2: been out of practice and watching Brock Purty and the
Speaker 2: way he's talked in the press conferences and even you know,
Speaker 2: small extension of that last night. I love the third
Speaker 2: down conversions and the cohesiveness between him and Stribbling So
Speaker 2: quickly could we be witnessing almost I wouldn't call it
Speaker 2: a breakout because he's already broken out, but a leap
Speaker 2: one of those you know, third fourth year leaps that
Speaker 2: sometimes happens where guys have their best year, you know,
Speaker 2: right around this point in their respective careers at the
Speaker 2: at the quarterback position.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're centering on something. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: Brox all is not about Brock's game is not about stats.
Speaker 3: Brocks game is about he is a competitive son of
Speaker 3: a gun and he wants to win and he measures
Speaker 3: success by victory. And it's not about fantasy stats or
Speaker 3: this or that. But I think his numbers could look
Speaker 3: better this year. You know, He's just it's about being supported.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Brian Billick used to come on regularly on cambr with
Speaker 3: Fits and Brooks back in the day, and he used
Speaker 3: to talk about how the hardest thing to evaluate in
Speaker 3: the NFL is the quarterback versus what's going on around
Speaker 3: the quarterback. And a lot of times, you know, we
Speaker 3: compare quarterbacks to one another, but they're not equally supported.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, people people would sit there a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago and be like Brock parties nowhere
Speaker 3: close to as good as Jalen Hurts. What Brock Purty's
Speaker 3: way better than Jalen Hurts. But Jalen Hurts was supported
Speaker 3: at a really high level. He had a really great
Speaker 3: run game Saquon Barkley, he had a Hall of Fame
Speaker 3: offensive line, he had a defensive line that had all
Speaker 3: kinds of pass rush and talent Vic Fangio coordinating, and
Speaker 3: they won.
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: You know, they won the Super Bowl, And can Brock
Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl? Yeah, but they need to support
Speaker 3: him better and that means they need to build a
Speaker 3: wall around him and they you know, it would be
Speaker 3: really nice if they could run the ball. I mean,
Speaker 3: last year his thing eroded. They couldn't run it. There
Speaker 3: was like five different games they couldn't average three yards
Speaker 3: of carry. Then all of a sudden, guys started falling
Speaker 3: like flies. There was no Debo. Ayuk got hurt, there
Speaker 3: was no Ayuk, There was no Kittle at the end
Speaker 3: of the year. I mean, he's out there just kind
Speaker 3: of running around the line. Wasn't great, didn't have much
Speaker 3: of a run game. He's thrown it to DeMarcus Robinson
Speaker 3: and still they found a way to beat Philly in Philly.
Speaker 3: So I think Brock this year is gonna be supported better.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna run the ball more effectively. I think,
Speaker 3: you know, they're gonna have more talent around him. I
Speaker 3: think they're gonna block it better in front of him.
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have more dynamic weapons, you know,
Speaker 3: on his offense to deal with. And I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna have more downfield passing, and I think his numbers
Speaker 3: are gonna be a little bit bigger. And now it's
Speaker 3: a matter of can he take care of the football
Speaker 3: and be patient. But yeah, I think the main difference
Speaker 3: is just the support. You know, Brock party is being
Speaker 3: supported better than he was a year ago, and I
Speaker 3: think you're gonna see what that looks like. I think
Speaker 3: he's gonna run off a number of wins. I think
Speaker 3: forty Ninders are an eleven twelve win type team. I
Speaker 3: think he's a legitimate MVP candidate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, feel set up and you set it right there
Speaker 2: at the end where I was going. It feels like
Speaker 2: it's set up for him to be an MVP candidate
Speaker 2: for this year. Like he's gonna be in that conversation
Speaker 2: just based on the way the forty nine ers are
Speaker 2: gonna win. And I think they are gonna win enough
Speaker 2: to put him in that conversation.
Speaker 3: And he's gonna be you know, he's gonna play his
Speaker 3: butt off because he's got mac Jones sitting right there
Speaker 3: and if he and that's good for the Niners because
Speaker 3: that means that motivates purty. A motivated party is the
Speaker 3: best party. They just got to figure out what lef
Speaker 3: guard g then, but then they get two quarterbacks they
Speaker 3: can win with. You know, if mac Jones has gonna play,
Speaker 3: I think they feel like they're gonna win all those games.
Speaker 3: So they you're right, left guard is a left guard
Speaker 3: is a problem, and they need more edge rush and
Speaker 3: they right now they're gonna have to figure out how
Speaker 3: to kind of solve their glut of defensive tackles and
Speaker 3: can they trade, can they make it an advantageous trade.
Speaker 3: I think the cutdown is gonna be interesting. You know,
Speaker 3: Howie Roseman's a great GM. He seems like he always
Speaker 3: does one thing at the cutdown that makes his team
Speaker 3: that much better. I mean, John Schneider went for Terry
Speaker 3: On Arnold and then Trevon Diggs, and we're hearing Lesnie's
Speaker 3: gonna try to go for you know, not just Miles Garrett,
Speaker 3: but maybe Aaron Donald. And I'd like to see the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, you know, instead of rolling over seventy
Speaker 3: one million, I'd love to see them make a stute
Speaker 3: trade or pick up or two to add an extra
Speaker 3: piece or two to the puzzle, because I think it's
Speaker 3: their go window. I think fort Ninders can when you know,
Speaker 3: double digits, get to the playoffs and contend for a
Speaker 3: Super Bowl this year. So I'd love to see them,
Speaker 3: you know, be aggressive at the trade deadline if they
Speaker 3: can find or at the cutdown, if they can find
Speaker 3: a guard, if they can find a you know, another
Speaker 3: edge rusher, you know, to to go with what they've got,
Speaker 3: you know, I think you may see them.
Speaker 2: Get creative trade wise. I really do well, Kurgt, I
Speaker 2: love talking to you. Where where do you want to
Speaker 2: go with it? We're well into your hour here on
Speaker 2: Niners Nightly, So you got anything for me? Or how
Speaker 2: do you want to kind of set up your show
Speaker 2: here for the for the rest of this hour?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean in a way, Cambre is the number
Speaker 3: I would like to know. I want to know who
Speaker 3: you're passionate about, you know, give me, give me a
Speaker 3: player that's on the bubble that you're passionate should be
Speaker 3: on the roster and tell me why give me a
Speaker 3: player that could be on the bubble or at least
Speaker 3: is on your bubble, that you're passionate about not being
Speaker 3: on the roster, And I'll throw it to you, JD.
Speaker 3: And then I'll in the next segment, I'll get into
Speaker 3: it and share some.
Speaker 1: Of my own.
Speaker 3: But who do you had?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: We know CMC is gonna be there, we know Party's
Speaker 3: gonna be there, we know Kittle's gonna be there, We
Speaker 3: know all those, But what about you know Jordan Watkins.
Speaker 2: It's a great segue into the two young wide receivers. Brother,
Speaker 2: That's exactly where I was going with it. Is it
Speaker 2: Watkins or Cowing. Is it Cowing or Watkins? Is it
Speaker 2: both of them? You know, Christian Kirk, I think is
Speaker 2: on the bubble for having not been a factor since
Speaker 2: the first day of training camp and being banged up
Speaker 2: ever since.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: I think the Watkins Cowing debate is fascinating because on
Speaker 2: the one hand, you've got Cowing, who in some way
Speaker 2: steals the show last night, right the eighty three yard
Speaker 2: punt return, But then he also loses one in the
Speaker 2: lights and costs the forty nine ers, you know, thirty
Speaker 2: yards of field position. And Kyle Shanahan, you could tell,
Speaker 2: even after the game, as he was asked basically to
Speaker 2: praise Cowing, was very quick to say, yeah, that was
Speaker 2: a pretty bad mistake on the other one, and we
Speaker 2: love the touchdown, but you know, it kind of made
Speaker 2: me wonder was the mistake in Kyle's eyes more damning
Speaker 2: than the eighty three yard touchdown on the punt could
Speaker 2: make up for in that particular instance. And then after
Speaker 2: the game, all the discussion about the injuries and and
Speaker 2: what Cowing has overcome and all that, and then and
Speaker 2: then as far as Jordan Watkins goes, I thought he
Speaker 2: had a really solid game. He had a couple of
Speaker 2: nice catches he had. I think the key block on
Speaker 2: the sincere McCormick big run and anybody that knows Kyle
Speaker 2: Shanahan and you've already mentioned it in this segment, like
Speaker 2: how do you block as a as a wide receiver,
Speaker 2: that's important.
Speaker 1: I feel like Watkins is a guy.
Speaker 2: As much as Cowing flashed. I feel like Watkins is
Speaker 2: a guy who if you needed him in a meaningful game,
Speaker 2: he has the ability to bring more to the table,
Speaker 2: even if he starts the year as maybe wide receiver five.
Speaker 2: Wide receiver on September tenth doesn't mean you're going to
Speaker 2: be wide receiver five on October twenty fifth, or on
Speaker 2: November fifteenth, or on December twenty seventh. So I kind
Speaker 2: of everybody's talking about Cowing coming out of the Charger game.
Speaker 2: I was sort of left with I liked what Watkins
Speaker 2: did to improve his fate, and look, maybe it winds
Speaker 2: up being both, but one versus the other. I would
Speaker 2: still tend to give Watkins the edge there.
Speaker 3: I would too. I would too, but I think there's
Speaker 3: a chance that they both make the roster. I'll give
Speaker 3: you one hint, Well, if.
Speaker 1: Kirk isn't right, then both of them could right.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean in Kirk's the veteran. I think Kirk,
Speaker 3: you know, could be an attractive trade candidate for a
Speaker 3: team like the Texans.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll see.
Speaker 3: But you know, then there's a whole slew of young
Speaker 3: defensive players too. I mean, Jacob Robinson is a four
Speaker 3: to three corner from BYU almost had a pick six
Speaker 3: last night. He looks really, really good. I'd like to
Speaker 3: see them retain their cornerback inventory. You know, they got
Speaker 3: a lot of guys right now. I mean Ronardo Green,
Speaker 3: Demo nor up In Stout, those are the top three.
Speaker 3: But then you got Jack Jones, you got Aphesians Price Sock.
Speaker 3: Nate Hobbs is hurt, but they got him. They got
Speaker 3: Jacob Robinson, they got Darrell Looter. I mean, they've got
Speaker 3: a bunch of corners, and in past years we've seen
Speaker 3: them like cut it down, say goodbye to a good
Speaker 3: corner Samuel wellmack DeShawn Jamison. Have those guys go somewhere
Speaker 3: and play well and then an injury hops you know,
Speaker 3: pops in and all of a sudden the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers are looking for you know, street free agents on
Speaker 3: the corner, and they're really hard to find once you
Speaker 3: get into the teeth and the meat and potatoes of
Speaker 3: the season. So I'd like to see them retain their
Speaker 3: corner depths. Go with Loot, go with Robinson. If you
Speaker 3: got to go with an extra corner in week.
Speaker 1: One, so be it.
Speaker 3: It's a passing league and if you run out of corners,
Speaker 3: you're kind of screwed. And I like what I've seen
Speaker 3: out of Looter and Robinson, and I know they're kind
Speaker 3: of back of depth chart kinds of corners, but I
Speaker 3: think they could be starters for a lot of teams,
Speaker 3: and if they hit the waiver wire, they are as
Speaker 3: good as gone. So I'd like to see them figure
Speaker 3: out a way, you know, with all the roster, you know,
Speaker 3: gymnastics to keep seven corners possibly.
Speaker 1: If if that's the way it all shakes out.
Speaker 3: So but ainaway, Cambr. I mean that will open up
Speaker 3: the lines and see what people have to say, and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna share some thoughts, But ainaway, Cambr. If you're
Speaker 3: driving around, you watch the Niners in the preseason, either
Speaker 3: of the first two games, give me somebody that you're
Speaker 3: passionate about. Passionate about them being on the team, passionate
Speaker 3: about them not being on the team, ad Away Cambre,
Speaker 3: we'll get into it more next And JD. Man, it's
Speaker 3: always great to wrap with you. And you and I
Speaker 3: could you know, we're like the human rein delay man.
Speaker 3: We could go on and on. You know, we're not
Speaker 3: John Miller, but we're you know, we could fill the time.
Speaker 2: Well, I missed out last night on your stream after
Speaker 2: the post game. I love coming on your on the
Speaker 2: Crub show after a Niner game after I'm done with
Speaker 2: the postgame on on the Sports Leader here and didn't
Speaker 2: quite work out timing wise.
Speaker 1: Sometimes with those road games it doesn't.
Speaker 2: But I always feel like I always go to bed
Speaker 2: wishing I had hopped on.
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry I missed you. Bro.
Speaker 3: Well, the audience in the chat was like, hey, where's JD.
Speaker 1: You know, so we're making up for it here with

Speaker 3: and you know, I got a brand new salmon barbecue
Speaker 3: recipe and I put the salmon on the grill. Oh man,
Speaker 3: it came out so good. It was just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 3: Basically it is soy sauce, Dijon, mustard and garlic, and
Speaker 3: you just you just mix it. You know, it's like
Speaker 3: a glaze. You put this, you put it on the
Speaker 3: salmon before you barbecue it and then it's also kind
Speaker 3: of like a sauce that you can put on after
Speaker 3: it's done.
Speaker 1: Oh it's amazing.
Speaker 3: You know. Did some mushrooms and onions on the side.
Speaker 3: Did some uh so, we did a little little jasmine rice.
Speaker 3: Oh man, it was fantastic. You get that kind of
Speaker 3: smoky flavor. It's just tender as all get out. It
Speaker 3: was phenomenal. All right, Welcome to the Food Channel. All right,

Speaker 3: Ataway cambiar is the number. Who are you passionate about
Speaker 3: being on this roster? Who are you passionate about maybe
Speaker 3: not being on this roster? I'll give you my answers
Speaker 3: in a minute, But eight away cambiar is the number.
Speaker 3: We got a good, good half hour here. We can
Speaker 3: take some of your calls, and we got Mark who's
Speaker 3: in the city and wants to jump in. We'll hit
Speaker 3: the lines right here. We'll take a call and then
Speaker 3: I'll talk a little bit. Maybe we'll take a few
Speaker 3: more calls. But Mark's here in the city and he's
Speaker 3: with us on the UMA. Guest line is the good
Speaker 3: it's not the Yuma guest line we bring in. We
Speaker 3: bring in Jacob Violante because it's a Jacob Violante Friday
Speaker 3: Night productions. Jacob. It's not the Uma guest line. That's
Speaker 3: for the guests. The call line is called what's the
Speaker 3: sponsor for the call line?
Speaker 1: I think it's industrial metal supply. I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if we have we have a
Speaker 1: text line one. I don't know if you have a
Speaker 1: crawl line one.
Speaker 3: All right, well maybe we'll make make it up. It's
Speaker 3: the call line brought to you by Coca Cola. And
Speaker 3: we go to Mark in San Francisco. Mark, how are you?
Speaker 5: I'm doing good, Larry. I want to keep Jacob Crowley definitely.
Speaker 5: I know him and Watkins are the two guys that
Speaker 5: are this.
Speaker 3: Crowley Crowley's are the nighttime guy on camb Are you
Speaker 3: want to keep cal I think cowing.
Speaker 5: Cow yeah, coweing, Sorry about that, but yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5: Him and Watkins Definitely I want on the team those
Speaker 5: two guyst returner. They can do both plus play receiver
Speaker 5: and I was watching some films of Crowley on Arizona
Speaker 5: and Heli receiver as.
Speaker 3: Well right, yeah, no, he is a good receiver. He
Speaker 3: actually out performed Tetoroah McMillan. They were on the same
Speaker 3: team together. He's a he's a really good player. It's
Speaker 3: just he hasn't been able to stay healthy and he's
Speaker 3: a little frail. He's a little on the smaller side.
Speaker 3: But man, that was a beautiful, you know, punt return
Speaker 3: touchdown that he had. And man, it was really cool
Speaker 3: to see his teammates that invested in him too.
Speaker 1: That was neat.
Speaker 3: And he's you know, he's had a lot of talent,
Speaker 3: this guy. This guy's got ball skills. He's got four
Speaker 3: to three speed, he's a good route runner. He's just
Speaker 3: been hurt. He had four different recurrences of his hamstring
Speaker 3: poll last year. And sometimes I see him at practice
Speaker 3: and he'll run a few routes and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, I se him on the side. He's stretching
Speaker 3: it and this and that, and I'm like, God, is
Speaker 3: this guy gonna you know, is he that fragile that
Speaker 3: he you know, he's gonna go down in a moment's notice.
Speaker 3: But if he can stay healthy, Jacob Cowing I think
Speaker 3: secured that punt returner job I think I think uh,
Speaker 3: Dion Debo will be returner, Cowing will be the punt returner,
Speaker 3: and I'd like to see a wide receiver corps of
Speaker 3: Evans d Stribbling, DeMarcus Robinson and I'm with you, Jordan
Speaker 3: Watkins and Jacob Cowing and that what does that mean
Speaker 3: for Christian Kirk? I don't know. I think I might
Speaker 3: trade Christian Kirk if you could find somebody that would
Speaker 3: be willing to trade for Christian Kirk. I mean, the
Speaker 3: Texans just lost a good receiver in Jayden Higgins and
Speaker 3: Jalen Knowle's been banged up. I think I would, and
Speaker 3: he was there last year. I think I would call
Speaker 3: Damiko and and see if they've got anything over there.
Speaker 3: They could throw the forty nine ers for Christian Kirk,
Speaker 3: because how do you put how do you put Kirk
Speaker 3: on this roster over over Jordan Watkins and Jacob Cowing.
Speaker 3: I don't think he can.
Speaker 5: Mark so either. And the thing about it is, if
Speaker 5: Watkins he was also taking kick returns, Uh, He's he's terrific.
Speaker 5: Uh with him and crowing cawing, cowing, cowing cowing at
Speaker 5: hunt returners. I mean that really gives our special team
Speaker 5: something some explosive players.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that that's the thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, And I asked John Lynch this
Speaker 3: question about two weeks ago because he you know, look
Speaker 3: at Seattle. Seattle won last year. They led the NFL
Speaker 3: in explosive play ratio. They had more explosive plays than
Speaker 3: their opponents. They're really good on defense at limiting explosives
Speaker 3: and they were really good on offense at getting explosives.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you saw this number, but
Speaker 3: it normally the biggest, you know, indicator in the NFL
Speaker 3: in recent years of victory is turnovers. If you win
Speaker 3: the turnover ratio, you win the game. And like last year,
Speaker 3: if you won the turnover ratio, you won the game.
Speaker 3: I think it was like fifty seven or fifty eight
Speaker 3: percent of the time, which is a pretty high percentage.
Speaker 1: But last year was the first year in years.
Speaker 3: That there's something greater than turnover ratio, and it's explosive ratio.
Speaker 3: The teams that win the explosive ratio win, And so
Speaker 3: I asked Lynch, I said, you know, did you guys
Speaker 3: go into this offseason you know, kind of hell bent
Speaker 3: on adding explosives And he's like, well, first of all,
Speaker 3: we always do right, speed is the name of the game.
Speaker 3: We're always looking for explosive players, not just this year,
Speaker 3: but he did admit that with Seattle being so great
Speaker 3: in that area, that they, the Niners, you know, were
Speaker 3: very cognizant of that when they were putting together their
Speaker 3: plan and their their off season approach, and they wanted
Speaker 3: to add explosive players. And look at the speed. I mean,
Speaker 3: look at their receiver room at the end of last year.
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings four eight forty, Kendrick Bourne four seven seven forty.
Speaker 3: You know, you know Malik Turner, he's not a burner.
Speaker 3: They didn't have a lot of speed last year. They
Speaker 3: were very slow. They didn't get any separation at all
Speaker 3: in that Seattle playoff game. Now, look at the receiving corps.
Speaker 3: Jordan Wackett four three seven to Dejon Stribbling four three six,
Speaker 3: Jacob Cowing fourth seven, Will Pauling for three seven, Wesley
Speaker 3: Grimes four three five. They got a lot of speed.
Speaker 3: Even you know Ricky Piersoll, who was not playing for them,
Speaker 3: but he's a four to four guy. So I mean,
Speaker 3: the difference between what they had at receiver last year
Speaker 3: speed wise, and this year night and day, night and day,
Speaker 3: and I and Lynch said that they were you know
Speaker 3: that they made an extra concerted effort this year to
Speaker 3: find the kinds of players that they think can give
Speaker 3: them big explosive you know, chunk yardage gains in the
Speaker 3: past game and in the run game. I mean, how
Speaker 3: about this. The forty nine ers first twenty yard run
Speaker 3: mark last year came in the Bears game. That game
Speaker 3: was in December. That was their first twenty plus yard
Speaker 3: run all season. And they have Christian McCaffrey. So you know,
Speaker 3: why was that the case? Well, I think it had
Speaker 3: a lot to do with the fact that Niners didn't
Speaker 3: have a lot of speed at wide receiver, so teams
Speaker 3: were not afraid of them throwing it over the top.
Speaker 3: So everybody was kind of leaning forward. Everybody's in the box,
Speaker 3: extra bodies in the box. Every time Christian McCaffrey got
Speaker 3: through the line of scrimmage, there's a linebacker camped eight
Speaker 3: yards off the you know, line of scrimmage, sitting right there.
Speaker 3: The weak side backers like, hey, you know, come to Papa,
Speaker 3: or you know, maybe it was a strong safety, but
Speaker 3: they had a guy basically just sitting there eight yards
Speaker 3: off the line of scrimmage, just saying, you're not getting
Speaker 3: an explosive run. And they didn't get an explosive run
Speaker 3: until you know, brock Perty got you know, kind of
Speaker 3: loosened up a Bears defense that was pretty challenged and
Speaker 3: made a bunch of plays and suddenly the run game
Speaker 3: opened up and they got that twenty yard run. But
Speaker 3: that was December.
Speaker 1: You know. They did not a single twenty yard run.
Speaker 3: In September, October, November. You know, that's unbelievable, really, I mean,
Speaker 3: and it's kind of inexcusable. So their their approach this year.
Speaker 3: Get more explosive and we'll see if it works. Mark came.
Speaker 3: Always great to talk ball with you. We'll do it
Speaker 3: again soon and it opens up line and ate away
Speaker 3: cambr Mark in the city used to live out in
Speaker 3: the sunset and we used to shoot hoops back in
Speaker 3: the day, talking warrior ball, sitting there in the on
Speaker 3: at s NAC's High School. I lived across the street.
Speaker 3: I think he lived a couple of blocks away, and
Speaker 3: you know, I was a teenager. He was probably in
Speaker 3: his thirties and he'd come over. We'd just you know,
Speaker 3: we'd be out there shooting buckets on those outside hoops
Speaker 3: by saying Nation's high school, talking about you know, the Warriors,
Speaker 3: and like who are they going to draft? Russell Cross,
Speaker 3: Debt lift Shrimp. You know those are days. I mean,
Speaker 3: then we're going back to the eighties. It was a
Speaker 3: long time ago. But Mark's a good man, a great
Speaker 3: sports fan, a great cambi Our listener. All right, as
Speaker 3: far as let me give you what what.
Speaker 1: I want to see at the cutdown.
Speaker 3: Now, we got one more preseason game to go, but
Speaker 3: let's start and we'll just go through this relatively quickly. Quarterback.
Speaker 3: I think the forty nine ers have so many needs
Speaker 3: at so many other spots that I don't know that
Speaker 3: they can go with three quarterbacks. You got Brock, He's
Speaker 3: he's I think he's going to be an MVP candidate.
Speaker 3: You got Mac Jones. He Mac Jones is a gamer,
Speaker 3: He's super accurate, and he looks great in this Kyle
Speaker 3: Shanahan offense. When I watch Mac Jones, I think, man,
Speaker 3: he was born to play for Kyle Shanahan, and this
Speaker 3: is probably his last year playing for Shanahan unless something
Speaker 3: truly unforeseen happens. Because you know he makes four million bucks,
Speaker 3: and this just in, but you know he's better than
Speaker 3: Malik Willis, and Milik Willis is making forty million bucks.
Speaker 3: So that's what happens when you become a starter in
Speaker 3: the NFL, so is I don't think Mac is going
Speaker 3: to stick around too long making four mill.
Speaker 1: Not that four mill there's anything to sneeze at.
Speaker 3: I think we would all be very satisfied with the
Speaker 3: four million dollar salary, but not if you could potentially
Speaker 3: make forty million. That's a that's a life changing number.
Speaker 3: And Mack's going to get that money at some point.
Speaker 3: You would think he's playing at a really high level.
Speaker 3: So the question is, do the Niners, you know, Curtis
Speaker 3: Rourke look good? Did he look so good that you
Speaker 3: trade Mac Jones? Did he look so good that you
Speaker 3: would make him the number two quarterback? Does he look
Speaker 3: so good that you would keep three quarterbacks on your
Speaker 3: roster despite the desperate need that you're gonna have for
Speaker 3: roster spots with extra o lineman, d lineman, corners, receivers.
Speaker 3: I mean they've got linebackers, they got extra bodies, had
Speaker 3: about four different positions.
Speaker 1: Can they afford to go with a third quarterback.
Speaker 3: I would say. Now, I think Adrian Martinez is a
Speaker 3: great kid, but I think he gets cut and I
Speaker 3: think Rourke. I would I would look to trade Rourke.
Speaker 3: I would look to see what I could get for Rourke.
Speaker 3: Is there somebody out there? Is there more of a
Speaker 3: market for mac Jones or is there more of a
Speaker 3: market for Curtis Rourke. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 3: the answer to that, but I think I would go
Speaker 3: with Perty and Jones and go with two quarterbacks. And
Speaker 3: I don't want to waive Rourke because I think he'd
Speaker 3: get picked off waivers. But I also don't want to
Speaker 3: have three quarterbacks on my roster when I've got this
Speaker 3: deep of a roster. So do I think Curtis Rourke
Speaker 3: is the next great quarterback? Now? I don't. If I did,
Speaker 3: I would not trade him. But but I do think
Speaker 3: there may be a market for him. I mean, he
Speaker 3: played in Indiana. He played an entire year on a
Speaker 3: torn acl I mean that's like stuff of war, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean this guy, this kid's a tough kid, and
Speaker 3: he's pretty smart. He's pretty accurate, throws a pretty nice ball.
Speaker 3: He's two years in the offense. So he's not super raw.
Speaker 3: He looks kind of comfortable. He's worked on his on
Speaker 3: widening his base and having a better a better wider
Speaker 3: base just to throw from. And he's he looked good
Speaker 3: in that preseason game against Tennessee. Now he's got an injury.
Speaker 3: But the question is do you keep him at number
Speaker 3: two in trade Jones? I wouldn't. I would keep Jones's
Speaker 3: number two in trade Rourke. So and I'm going with
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks. I'm not going with three, so I would
Speaker 3: trade Rourke. And that's probably where most of you and
Speaker 3: I disagree right out of the shoot. Let's move to
Speaker 3: running back. I'm going with four running backs because once
Speaker 3: again you got deep, a deep roster at other spot,
Speaker 3: so you need extra guys. And I'm going with Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 3: Kaylon Black is RB two, Jordan James is RB three,
Speaker 3: and Kyle Hustcheck, you know, the fullback, and I'm cutting
Speaker 3: everybody else. I'm cutting Grendo, Sincere McCormick, who I really like,
Speaker 3: but I would pick him back up to the practice squad,
Speaker 3: Khalil Herbert, Zamir White. If I was going with five,
Speaker 3: i'd go with McCormick. But I'm going with four, and
Speaker 3: I'm using that roster spot somewhere else. So McCormick to
Speaker 3: the practice squad. Maybe Adrian Martinez back to the practice squad,
Speaker 3: though I'm not as convinced that that's a for sure thing.
Speaker 3: But I'm going short at quarterback with two, and I'm
Speaker 3: going short at running back with four. All right, let's
Speaker 3: move to tight end. I think Kittle starts on the pup,
Speaker 3: and Kittle's probably driving around going Krugs, shut up. I
Speaker 3: don't want to go on the pup. And that's probably
Speaker 3: what he would say to me if I said, George,
Speaker 3: you're headed.
Speaker 1: For the pup.
Speaker 3: I don't want to see George in September. You know,
Speaker 3: George is gonna try to do something that he shouldn't do.
Speaker 3: You know, let's let's let's, you know, find another tight
Speaker 3: end at the cutdown. Cole Comet, Dawson, Knox, Payne, Durham,
Speaker 3: Colby Parkinson. All these guys are rumored to potentially be
Speaker 3: lopped off at the at the cutdown on August thirtieth,
Speaker 3: you know what, nine days from now, I would definitely
Speaker 3: be perusing that list. I like tan Js, but that's
Speaker 3: really all the all I like. I mean, Ferreal to
Speaker 3: me is not impressive. He's you know, Kittle said he's
Speaker 3: having a better camp, and he is, but he's still
Speaker 3: not a sure handed receiver. I've seen better blockers, considering
Speaker 3: he's considered a blocking tight end. Rouccie no Taguara, no Braydon. Willis,
Speaker 3: though I thought, looked phenomenal in this last game. He
Speaker 3: had the block that sprung McCormick on that thirty seven
Speaker 3: yard run. And what he did was he picked off
Speaker 3: two different guys, picked off the tackle, and then he
Speaker 3: came back and picked off the backer. It was a
Speaker 3: thing of beauty. And he's in great shape. Braiden Willis
Speaker 3: looks really good to me as a backup full back.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you didn't have juice, I think Braiden
Speaker 3: Willis would be a fine fullback. So I think I
Speaker 3: would probably go I'll probably go with three tight ends.
Speaker 3: Kittle on the pup, Tanjes, Ferrell and Braiden Willis make
Speaker 3: the team, but I will I would be open minded
Speaker 3: to cutting Ferrell or Willis for a veteran if I
Speaker 3: could get a Payne Durham, Cole Comet, Kobe Parkinson, those
Speaker 3: kinds of guys, and I think those guys guys are
Speaker 3: going to be out there, so Luke Farrell don't get
Speaker 3: too comfortable, and Braiden Willis don't get too comfortable. I'd
Speaker 3: probably go with Willis over Ferrell. I think they're going
Speaker 3: with Ferrell over Willis, but I would go with with
Speaker 3: no more than three tight ends with Kittle on the pup,
Speaker 3: and I could go with two, you know, Tanjas and
Speaker 3: Feral and play juice there a little bit. But Willis
Speaker 3: has impressed me and I'm definitely considering him for that
Speaker 3: final roster spot at tight end. All right, let's move
Speaker 3: to offensive line. You know, I've seen estimates where the
Speaker 3: Niners are going with ten eleven your backup D lineman,
Speaker 3: play your backup O lineman. You usually do not, So
Speaker 3: there's no way in hell you should go with five
Speaker 3: backup offensive linemen. I mean, that is a poor use
Speaker 3: of roster space. So you got mckivttz, Poony Brendle, Trent Williams,
Speaker 3: and we'll call it Carver. Willis to start at left guard,
Speaker 3: so you got those five guys for sure. Then Vederian
Speaker 3: Lowe is your swing tackle, so he's there. I like
Speaker 3: Dougmer the veteran center from you know, he's played in Chicago.
Speaker 3: He played for the line. He had one of the
Speaker 3: great forty times almost any interior alignement. And he's a
Speaker 3: nasty maler brawler type who just wants to bury people.
Speaker 3: And I like Kramer, and I like what I've seen
Speaker 3: so far. So I'm going Vederian Lowe on the bench,
Speaker 3: Doug Kramer on the bench, and then and then I
Speaker 3: got one more spot, And it really comes down to
Speaker 3: three guys, Nick Skel, Connor Colby, and Robert Jones. And
Speaker 3: I think i'd go Connor Colby. I think i'd go
Speaker 3: Connor Colby. Would I would put Nick Zekel on the
Speaker 3: practice squad. I'd cut Enrique Cruz for sure. There's no
Speaker 3: way he makes the fifty three. He shouldn't make the
Speaker 3: fifty three. He cannot play in a game right now.
Speaker 3: He will not go claimed. He's too raw of a player.
Speaker 3: So he's he's going to the practice squad as well.
Speaker 3: And then offensively at receiver, I'm going Evans, Deebo Stribbling,
Speaker 3: DeMarcus Robinson, Watkins, and Cowing. I'm going six receivers. So
Speaker 3: there's your offense. My three specialists of course are John Weeks,
Speaker 3: Corlis Weightman and Eddie Pinero. All right, let's take a
Speaker 3: phone call and then we'll we'll flip the card and
Speaker 3: tell you what we're thinking on defense.
Speaker 1: But let's go to the lines here. Who is on
Speaker 1: the line.
Speaker 3: We've got Sanjay Sanji's in San Jose and he wants
Speaker 3: to talk about the guy that he is adamant that
Speaker 3: he wants to make this roster. Hey, Sonjay, how are you?
Speaker 6: Jire how's it going, Krug?
Speaker 3: Hey, it's going well, man' You know, warm night out
Speaker 3: here in the East Bay. But man, I'm excited for
Speaker 3: this forty nine er season, especially after that game last name.
Speaker 6: Yeah, me too. You know. The guy that i'd like
Speaker 6: to see Mike the fifty three is Garrett Walla. I
Speaker 6: mean a guy coming off the street and being the
Speaker 6: guy with the most tackles in a playoff game defeating
Speaker 6: the defending world champions, and he played a heck of
Speaker 6: a game yesterday and almost out are so like, I
Speaker 6: really like to see him. Although I know we're deep
Speaker 6: on linebackers, but with the new scheme, maybe we need
Speaker 6: to rely on linebackers more for the pass rush. So
Speaker 6: I'd like to see him make the roster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I thought Wallow had a hell of a game. I
Speaker 3: was looking at the PFF rankings and somebody said that
Speaker 3: he was one of the lowest ranked players. I'm like,
Speaker 3: what in the heck are you guys basing your rankings on?
Speaker 3: He was everywhere last night. He was incredible last night.
Speaker 3: Wala was closing ground, he was making big hits. You
Speaker 3: know he, I mean he, he seriously was what a
Speaker 3: play or two away from having a monster night.
Speaker 1: I thought Wallo was terrific last night.
Speaker 3: I don't know that I agree with you, because to me,
Speaker 3: it's about who clears waivers. You know, is Larry Worth
Speaker 3: or Jaden duggar Ornate Martin more likely to clear waivers
Speaker 3: or is Garrett Wallow more likely to clear waivers? And
Speaker 3: I just think that Garrett Wallow. There's gonna be a
Speaker 3: lot of Garrett Wallow's out there. And even though I
Speaker 3: think he's a really good special teamer and a really
Speaker 3: solid player, I don't want to lose Larry Worth, and
Speaker 3: I won't lose Nick Martin, and I'm not gonna lose
Speaker 3: Jayden Dugger. And I'm going with six linebackers, So you
Speaker 3: know that that's a I think this is gonna be
Speaker 3: a tough one. It may come down to an injury.
Speaker 3: But my six linebackers would be obviously Fred and Dre Tatum, Bethune,
Speaker 3: Nick Martin, Jaden Dugger and Larry Worth. And I would
Speaker 3: cut Luke Gifford despite the fact he's a Pro Bowl
Speaker 3: special teamer. I would cut Jalen Graham, and I'd probably
Speaker 3: cut Garrett Wallow, not because I don't like Garrett Walla,
Speaker 3: just because I don't want to me. You've got three.
Speaker 3: You've got three really intriguing young hybrid type players who
Speaker 3: can rush the pastor and make big plays. How do
Speaker 3: you get Larry Worth? He's six' four two, twenty he
Speaker 3: blankets the tight. End Jayden dugger looks like a total.
Speaker 3: Natural And Nick martin is maybe the best overall athlete
Speaker 3: on the, defense and he's just so freaking. VIOLENT i,
Speaker 3: mean he had that force fumble last. Night he's just
Speaker 3: a big play waiting to. Happen SO i THINK i
Speaker 3: would try to keep all three of the, guys and
Speaker 3: if if that MEANS i gotta Wave gifford And graham And,
Speaker 3: Wallow i'm doing.
Speaker 1: It But i'm with.
Speaker 3: YOU i Thought, wallow, like IF i have to go
Speaker 3: with one more, LINEBACKER i THINK i would go With
Speaker 3: wallow and Over, gifford even Though gifford's A Pro bowl special,
Speaker 3: teamer Because wallow looks amazing and he had eleven tackles
Speaker 3: in That eagle game last, year much, Respect and that
Speaker 3: was a freezing cold, game wind howling on the, road
Speaker 3: all Those eagle idiots yelling their heads, off and this
Speaker 3: guy played just a perfect. Game eleven, Tackles he was.
Speaker 3: Everywhere he was Moving Alfred collins AND. Cj west around
Speaker 3: and then communicating on that first and second level of
Speaker 3: the defense on every. Snap it was. Impressive it was. Impressive.
Speaker 3: Man He wallow has my. RESPECT i have total respect
Speaker 3: For Garrett. Wallow. Yeah He and if he makes the
Speaker 3: roster Over Larry. Worth i'm just Hoping.
Speaker 1: Larry worth squeezes through.
Speaker 3: Waivers BUT i would Take worth over him Because i'm
Speaker 3: Afraid worth. Won't you, KNOW i don't want to Lose.
Speaker 3: Worth he's just, really really. Special BUT i know what you're.
Speaker 3: Saying wallow looked great last. Night all, Right, sonjay you
Speaker 3: have a great night In san Jose man and opens
Speaker 3: up a line and eightaway camb are a couple more
Speaker 3: thoughts on the. Defense So i'm going six, linebackers and
Speaker 3: there's your there's your. Six now in the, Secondary i'm
Speaker 3: going for Safeties Malik, Mustafa Jayre, Brown Marquis. Siegel and
Speaker 3: here's the. QUESTION i Know Brant boyer wants that fourth
Speaker 3: guy to Be sarahnney and he's a very good special,
Speaker 3: teamer but, man how About Jalen. Stroman last? NIGHT i
Speaker 3: Thought Jalen stroman was. Everywhere you, Know he's supposed to
Speaker 3: be a guy that has real limitations as far as,
Speaker 3: coverage but he looks like one of the more physical
Speaker 3: safeties they. Have So i'd go With stroman as the fourth.
Speaker 3: Safety i'd the Corners i'm going with Are Ronardo leonor And,
Speaker 3: Stout Jack, Jones Prick luder And. Robinson i'm not gonna
Speaker 3: give away my my. Cornerback i'm gonna retain my cornerback.
Speaker 3: Inventory if i gotta go, Six i'll go. Six IF
Speaker 3: i gotta go, Seven i'll go. Seven i'm not cutting good.
Speaker 3: Corners and THEN d line, WISE i think this is
Speaker 3: where it's gonna be really. INTERESTING i think they're gonna
Speaker 3: go FIVE d ten d linemen FIVE, dns five defensive.
Speaker 3: Tackles your D nz Are Mikeuel, Bosa Keon, white Sam
Speaker 3: akuaiu And Ramelo. Height if you go with another one
Speaker 3: because of mckel being, out go agbo. Ocuronquo and it's
Speaker 3: not that hard of a. CALL i thought he was
Speaker 3: far and away the. Best and then the big move
Speaker 3: THAT i would make is my five defensive. Tackles oh
Speaker 3: so o Diggi, Zuwa Grayson, Halton Bryceon, Esen James Thompson,
Speaker 3: junior and EITHER. Cj west Or Alfred. Collins And i'm GOING. Cj,
Speaker 3: West So i'm not Cutting Alfred, collins But i'm Trading Alfred.
Speaker 3: Collins i'm not gonna Let Bryson easen Or James thompson
Speaker 3: Or Grayson halton not make this team because Of Alfred.
Speaker 3: Collins they've outplayed. Him James Thompson junior was the highest
Speaker 3: rated forty nine er defender last night of any. Position
Speaker 3: the guy has thirty six reps at two twenty. Five
Speaker 3: he's he's got weight room strength and he's got functional.
Speaker 3: Strength he looked, really really. Good he's got to be
Speaker 3: on the. Team so there you. Go there you have.
Speaker 3: It i'm Trading Alfred, collins AND i don't like, it
Speaker 3: but you know, what he's been beaten out By, bryson
Speaker 3: easen By Grayson, halton By James. Thompson Chris causerah told
Speaker 3: me In. July he, said, hey, man we had draftable
Speaker 3: grades On easton And thompson and they have shown it
Speaker 3: in this. Summer easton is six four two twenty or
Speaker 3: sixty four excuse, me three twenty and he runs like a.
Speaker 3: Linebacker thompson is six, six three ten and he's one
Speaker 3: of the strongest defensive Linemen i've. Seen the guy had
Speaker 3: thirty six reps at two twenty, five which is about
Speaker 3: thirty more THAN i can. Do So i'm. Impressed all,
