<v Speaker 3>I'm a big fan of Raff and of course copes

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 3>and deep pop. It's you know, I'm just gonna say

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 3>this out of the shoot because we're not robots, right,

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>We're not robots. I know some people listened to me

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>in the past. We what I thought you were a robot. No,

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 3>we're not robots. You know, we have feelings and we

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 3>have relationships, we have friends and and you know, yes,

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 3>in radio, a lot of times you're working by your

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 3>sometimes in an empty studio. We don't always have that

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 3>same work environment that you may have at your place

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 3>where you're you know, sitting around the kitchen or wherever

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.839
<v Speaker 3>at your office and you've got all this camaraderie.

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, you tend to do your shift and you

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>go home.

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 3>The producers stick around, the executives and the promotions people,

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 3>the salespeople, they sometimes stick around.

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes they work.

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Remotely, but a lot especially in recent years, since COVID,

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 3>so much of the broadcasting world has been done remotely,

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 3>and yet we've had such a tight family group here

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 3>at cambr All I could say is that, you know,

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 3>as somebody who's been through it all right, I've I've

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 3>been walked to my vehicle, I've been banished from the Kingdom,

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, under great scorn, I've been downsized because of

0:02:54.639 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 3>financial shiftings and that kind of thing. And yet here

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 3>I am on my third stint at the station. I'm

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 3>not sure what it really says about me, but I

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>do want to say that I love Greg Papa, and

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 3>I love Greg Silver.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I was just talking earlier today with Greg Silver.

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 3>He's a tremendous kid, tremendous kid, and every time I

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 3>had an opportunity to tell his father how proud I

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 3>was of Greg, you know, I did, you know one,

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 3>because I'm a dad myself, and you know, as a dad,

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 3>those are the kinds of things you like to hear.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 3>But also it's the truth. The guy was awesome, absolutely awesome.

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>There's people in this business that can't get jobs because

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 3>they aren't any good, and then there's people that get

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 3>jobs but they can't keep jobs because they're not good people.

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Greg's both good and a good person, and he's going

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>to land into a great you know something, whether it

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 3>be a cal or anywhere else. There's a lot of

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>broadcast entities out there that should want Greg Silver.

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>He works hard, he's smart.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I've really enjoyed the shows that I've done this year

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 3>with Greg Silver. He's one of the most impressive young

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 3>broadcasters I've ever met. I mean, he's that kind of

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 3>a hustler, he's that kind of a you got to

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 3>be smart to do these jobs because it's all live,

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 3>and he's smart.

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>He's a smart kid. And I really really out of

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 2>the shows that we did together.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 3>So Greg, I love you, brother, and you can always

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 3>use me as a reference, and I'm here for you.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 3>And I'll pound the table for you know, the way

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 3>people pound the table for seventh round draft choices on

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Day three of the NFL Draft. I'll pound the table

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 3>for Greg Silver because I believe that much in him.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 3>And as far as Greg pop, I mean, heck, Greig

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>and I go back thirty thirty five years. I mean

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I've known him forever. We've known each other. We've had

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 3>so many different moments together in our career on the mic,

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 3>off the mic, partying in the in the quarter. I mean,

0:04:55.880 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, nobody was a better wingman than Pop in

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 3>a lot of those years. We had so much fun,

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>so much fun, and what even when he was at

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 3>the FM station and I was at Gambiar, you know,

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.239
<v Speaker 3>he treated me great.

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>We always we always had in great moments.

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 3>And then getting a chance to work on the forty

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 3>nine er coverage together has been a joy for me.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 3>And I really believe it. I said it the other day.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 3>I really think Tim and Greg are the best there is.

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the best broadcast team in the country,

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>definitely in the NFL, one of the best I've ever

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 3>heard of covering football. So Greg's an enormous talent. I'm

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 3>not telling you guys anything you don't know. And I

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 3>love him like a brother, and I'm praying for him

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 3>to get better. And you know, today is business, and

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 3>I understand business.

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Business.

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Somebody said to me once business krug always prevails, and

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 3>it really is true. It's cold, but it's true. Business

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 3>always does prevail. And also, you know, I also I'll

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 3>add one little addendum to that. Good people prevail, and

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Greg Pop is a good person. Greg Silver is a

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 3>good person and they're gonna prevail. They're going to prevail.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 3>And and I told young young Greg Silver, I said,

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 3>hey man, you know what looks to be a bad

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 3>break sometimes is sometimes a great break, and just think

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 3>of it that way, and you'll be surprised how many.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 3>I also told them the truth, which is, you know,

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.280
<v Speaker 3>if you do working for Deloitte Intuition you get laid off,

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 3>nobody knows about it. If you work for K and

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 3>br and you get laid off, everybody knows about it.

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 3>And there's a downside to that, but there's also an

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 3>upside to that. And the upside is that there's lots

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 3>of people that care about you, and then they're going

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 3>to reach out to you and tell you how they

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 3>feel about you, which is going to be very gratifying.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.239
<v Speaker 3>But also there's gonna be opportunities and new doors that open,

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>and feel free to walk through those doors with enthusiasm

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 3>and attack it and attack it the way you attacked radio.

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Because both those guys are awesome radio guys. All right,

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 3>we are not going to turn this into a big

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 3>cry fest. But I do love my guys, and I

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 3>was not gonna start niners nightly without shouting out my guys,

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 3>because that's who I am. But we do have a

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 3>great hour and we are going to talk to Guy Haberman.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 3>But we always start with, you know, the big story

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 3>of the day in niner Land, And I kind of

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 3>gave it away by telling you guys that the injuries

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 3>have just mounted, right, and you guys know that the

0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 3>injuries have mounted. People are calling for Dustin Perry's job.

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 3>People are calling for you know, they need to switch

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 3>the practice facility before the sun goes down. You know,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>they need to move get out of there as soon

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 3>as possible.

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>It's all the substation.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh if I hear one more substation thing, I'm gonna puke,

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Gonna absolutely puke. The Niners train there forever. By the way,

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 3>the substation had been there before. Maybe it's bigger now,

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 3>but it's been there for a long time. They haven't

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 3>been hurt this entire time, so I kind of don't

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 3>think it's the substation, but I get the frustration.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Twenty guys on a ninety man roster out.

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 3>You haven't played a game, you haven't had even joint practices,

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 3>You've only had a half dozen practices, and you got

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty guys on the shelf. Now, I would say at

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 3>least six or seven of those guys are probably out

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 3>for preventative purposes. So like, if there were a game today,

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I think you might see some of those guys, just

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>a hunch. Some of the guys with some of the

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 3>soft tissue injuries, I.

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Think you'd see them.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 3>But you also don't want to be stupid. You want

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 3>to be smart about things. It's early August. You know,

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>you're hopefully going to battle for the playoffs in the

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl in January.

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>And February, so it's a long long road.

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 3>But the theme today, outside of the injuries, I thought

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 3>was the appearance on the practice field for the first

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 3>time of two guys who looked like they can really

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 3>help the pass rush. The Niners drafted this kid, Grace

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 3>and Halton out of Oklahoma in the mid rounds, and

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought he was their best pick. I mean, he's

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 3>a two hundred and ninety five pounds defensive lineman that

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.599
<v Speaker 3>has linebacker movement ability and he was out for a

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 3>few days with a knee bruse. Well he was back

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 3>in there today and wow, I don't know if it

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 3>was just he rested up or now he got a

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 3>chance to kind of measure the speed of NFL practice

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 3>and kind of adjust because he didn't look that great

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 3>truth be told look pretty ordinary in the early practices today,

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 3>who in the one on ones? Grace and Halton looked explosive.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 3>He looked quick, he was burning guys, he was running

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 3>in he he was sacking the quarterback.

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean he wasn't actually sacking the quarterback, but he.

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Was winning the one on one rep and dominating at

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 3>times the one on ones and kind of celebrating, which

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 3>I love to see. He was like, hey, man, you

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 3>know I'm the big dogs here and I'm doing it.

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 3>So I loved what I saw from Grayson Halton today.

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 3>And man, what a nice player. He could potentially be

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 3>three hundred pound interior rusher. That looks like a guy

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 3>who can sack the quarterback. You already have os o'diggy Zua.

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 3>Now you could potentially have Grayson Halton inside. That's exciting.

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 3>That's that was number one. Number two forty nine has

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 3>made a couple signings today. One of them was the

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 3>veteran defensive.

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 2>End Ogbo Ironquo. Would you call me?

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:11.839
<v Speaker 3>He wore number fifty nine today and this guy gave

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 3>two of the Niners' youngest, most raw offensive tackles just

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 3>the you know, the lesson of lessons. I mean, he

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.839
<v Speaker 3>blew by Enrique Cruz like Enrique Cruz was me. I mean,

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 3>it was just it was awesome to watch. And he

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 3>beat Isaac al Arkhan like a drum.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Now, granted, the tackles that he'll be going up against

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 3>are better than those guys, and these are two of

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the more raw offensive linemen going. But Iroanquo looked fantastic

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 3>in his first San Francisco practice. And he's he's an

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 3>interesting guy, you know. I mean, he played for Raheem

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 3>in La. He was a damn good player at Oklahoma,

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 3>and this guy can rush the passer a little undersize

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 3>for what the Niners typically have used, but Raheem like

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 3>smaller guys. And you know, this guy was in the

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 3>wide nine at Cleveland for a couple of years. Last

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 3>year he was in Philly, but he tore the tricep

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 3>and that ended his year. But man, he looked fantastic today.

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Ogbo a wrong quo. I can't wait to see what

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Ogbo brings in the in the preseason. So that's an

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 3>outside Russier and an inside rusher who looked really good.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 3>The other guy who had a hell of a day

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 3>to day a couple guys on that defensive line, CJ.

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>West. He had some amazing one on ones today, beat

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Brendle a couple of times.

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 3>Romelo Height had a nice win against Austin Pleasants beat

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 3>him for a sack. Romelo Height looked explosive. The kid

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>they signed last week, Quinton Bell, who's got you know,

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 3>four or five speed and he's just electric. He had

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 3>a couple of really fantastic one on one reps.

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>So the you don't want.

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 3>To overreact because the D line to typically win the

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 3>one on one reps against the O line. It's just

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 3>the way it goes. It's kind of set up for

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 3>the D lineman to win. But still a wrong quo

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 3>and Halton showed the kind of juice that the Niners

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 3>have lacked and need badly to have a good year.

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 3>So that stood out today. The other guy who's really

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 3>starting to stand out is Jordan Watkins, the second year

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 3>receiver at Ole Miss. He made a number of plays today.

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.679
<v Speaker 3>Mac Jones had a beautiful pass to Watkins for a

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 3>touchdown on a slant route in the red zone. Drill

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Jones also, I think had one of his better practices today,

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 3>connected on a deep corner our deep crosser to d

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Rob DeMarcus Robinson. Jones made a number of really nice plays.

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's looking pretty good on the practice field.

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.079
<v Speaker 3>Is Junior Bergen, the second year return guy who didn't

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 3>do anything last year and went to Montana. You know,

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.479
<v Speaker 3>he's a Montana State He was a Montana State bobcat

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 3>so the SCS level and he just didn't adapt to

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 3>the pros last year. This year, I mean, he looks

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 3>like a trusted agent. I mean Brock Perty's going to

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 3>him in the red zone and Bro's making plays. He

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 3>caught a touchdown from Perty today. He made several nice catches.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 3>He had a diving catch. Junior Bergen, I have a

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 3>feeling Junior Bergen in year two is going to make

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more of a name for himself. Well,

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 3>we make the roster. It's still an uphill sled even

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 3>with the injuries, but man, he looks like an NFL

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 3>receiver and that's way more than he looked like last year.

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Nick Martin had a day today, a couple of nice

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 3>plays on defense, Jadeen Dugger had a pick six interception,

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 3>and Dougger is starting to feel himself in this defense.

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Darrell Looter has had a great camp and he had

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 3>a PBu today in the end zone. And Jack Jones,

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 3>just day after day after day just keeps making plays

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 3>on the football. So he is a really nice addition

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.959
<v Speaker 3>to the secondary. So a lot of good things today

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 3>in forty nine er Land. They also made a couple

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 3>of additions they are The other thing that was kind

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 3>of interesting is Robert Jones got reps with the Ones

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 3>at left guard and I asked because I asked Firster

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.080
<v Speaker 3>about it after practice and he said, hey, that they

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 3>were planning on mixing up inside and then all the

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 3>injuries and they decided just to move Colby out. But

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 3>at one point Firster said, Connor Colby still has work

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 3>to do. So I know Matt Barrows came out with

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 3>the article saying that you know, Colby is dominating the

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 3>left guard competition and it's not much of a much

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.960
<v Speaker 3>of a race, and I would totally concur with Barrows

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 3>until today.

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Today.

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I think Robert Jones probably had his best day and

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.240
<v Speaker 3>he got reps with the Ones and we'll see where

0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 3>it goes. But I think they're looking for a competition there.

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they're looking to anoint anybody. I think

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 3>they're looking for a competition. Brock Purdy had a great

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 3>day to day.

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 2>He was sharp.

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 3>He had a dime on a slant rat to Jordan

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Watkins that was perfect. He hit Watkins for a touchdown

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 3>on another route later.

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 2>In the day.

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Will Pauling, the rookie from Notre Dame, had a really

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 3>nice catch for Mac Jones. Fijian's Price Sock had a

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 3>couple of PBUs to end the practice and Price Sock

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 3>that was the first time I've really seen Price Sock

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 3>kind of come of age. And then after practice we

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 3>talked to Chris Firster. He said that Trent Williams is

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.360
<v Speaker 3>on a snap count. He says he does believe the

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Niners will still do the joint practices with the Titans

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 3>despite all the injuries, and he said that he was

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 3>pretty impressed by the two defensive tackles, Bryce and Esen

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 3>and James Thompson and what they've shown that thus far.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Then we talked up in Stout. He said that, you know,

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I said, what has motivated you? Because you attack your

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 3>off season with just such such fire. It's awesome to watch.

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 3>And he's like, man, I'm motivated by the doubters. I

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 3>love that man. I love that guys hearing voices. That

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 3>guy works hard. And then Jake Brendle hit the podium

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 3>and I asked him about OsO Diggi Zua and he's like, man,

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 3>I played with his brother at UCLA and Osa is

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 3>the total package and really is tough to block, and

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 3>really talked him up. So Osa has been a constant

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 3>force out at these practices. Niners also worked out some

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 3>players today, Donovan Peoples, Jones a wide receiver, Christian Wilkinson

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 3>a wide receiver, ke On Smith a guard, Ryan Moreco

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 3>a tackle, brand In Brandon Daniels a guard. All those

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 3>guys worked out for the Niners. And then the Niners

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 3>did sign Ogaronquo agbo Ocaronquo and Cadaryl Hodge. Hodge is

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 3>interesting as well. He's another receiver played with the Rams,

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 3>probably the connection to Raheem Again, he's thirty one, but

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 3>he's a special teamer and the Niners are emphasizing getting

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 3>good special teamers. And Cadaryl Hodge, you know, punt black guy.

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 3>He's a veteran on the gunner team, on the special

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 3>teams coverage units. I think he was a Pro Bowl

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 3>special teamer in twenty twenty four, So I mean you're

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 3>always looking for somebody who could be a difference maker

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 3>on special teams on the back of your depth chart,

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 3>and Cadaryl Hodge signed today. The one thing that's pretty

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 3>clear looking at some of these pickups. Last year, they

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 3>leaned on Robert Sala for a lot of his personnel expertise.

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 3>He brought a lot of former Jets in Today, now

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 3>they're leaning a lot on Raheem Morris, and there's a

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 3>lot of x rams, a lot of ex falcons seeming

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 3>like when they're on their list of guys that they're

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 3>bringing in when they lose guys to injury in camp.

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 3>So what does it mean, Well, it just means that

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 3>they're given a lot of say to Raheem Morris as

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 3>far as the personnel evaluation part of this part of

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 3>this deal.

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's take a time out.

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Up next, we're gonna talk a little Niner ball with

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Guy Haberman, who will be on the call this year

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 3>on the Sports Leader.

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.479
<v Speaker 4>This is where you get your faithful facings Niners Nightly

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.679
<v Speaker 4>with Larry Krueger keeps a rolling on KNBR the Sports Leader.

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, welcome back to Niners Nightly.

0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Larry Krueger joining you for Niners Nightly and with us

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 3>the segment to talk a little Niner ball is one

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 3>of our favorites. Guy Haberman, who's gonna be on the

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.160
<v Speaker 3>call this year for forty nine er football. Guy, great

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.679
<v Speaker 3>to see him, man, awesome, Awesome to be down here

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 3>at training camp and getting a chance to watch him

0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Niner football. Even though we got a largely injured roster

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 3>out of the shoot.

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 4>Here, doesn't feel like we've lived a month in like

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 4>a week and a half.

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>In running football.

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's like I remember this team before Deebo Samuel.

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 4>I'm old enough, you know. Bill Walton used to do

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.800
<v Speaker 4>this joke, right, Are you old enough? You'd be like,

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 4>let's say Larry Krueger had three foulsand was sitting for

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:04.919
<v Speaker 4>ten minutes in a bathroom, be like, are you old

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 4>enough to remember Larry Krueger.

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 1>That's how I feel.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm old enough to remember the Niners without Deebo Sanders.

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, this year? What do you think I mean?

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 3>On one hand, the Pearcel injuries is significant, right, because

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 3>he's got the PCL, he's gonna need surgery. And then

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Mikyle Kamara Torre's achilles, so obviously that's a fruit, pretty

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 3>serious injury. But there's a lot of quad poles, hamstring poles,

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 3>things that like I mean, Chris Furster are total st

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 3>after practice. Some of these guys, if there were games,

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 3>would be playing. But when you see some of the

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.919
<v Speaker 3>guys going down, it's almost like precautionary stribblings out hamstring tightness.

0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:46.399
<v Speaker 1>Could he go? He might be able to go.

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.479
<v Speaker 3>Mike Evans the same thing kind of thing, you know,

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:52.200
<v Speaker 3>quad tightness. You don't want to rip anything. But I

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>think some of these injuries and some of these guys

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 3>missing time right now.

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit of preventative.

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was interesting to see Romellow height back with

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 4>like you know, just like a break on his arm

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.440
<v Speaker 4>or whatever, because you don't really see it that much

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 4>in practice. Right, that's what you've seen in a game.

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 4>I would love that designation, right, Like could ousa play

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 4>in a game today? Could Mike Evans play in a

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:15.399
<v Speaker 4>game today? Could you check playing a game today? But

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 4>it does feel that way and it does feel like,

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, once that happens with a guy, particularly guy

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 4>like Mike Evans, you're just not gonna see him until

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 4>it really matters, Right, That's the way it feels.

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he'll practice, I would expect at some point.

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 4>But you know, the reality too, is this team this year,

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.640
<v Speaker 4>it's just different because you lose the week of rest

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.919
<v Speaker 4>because of the travel to Australia. Right, So you go

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 4>from usually resting for that week between the end of

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 4>the third preseason game and the first regular season game

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.720
<v Speaker 4>to now like needing to actively recover from the flight,

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.920
<v Speaker 4>and you know, trying to use that practice that week.

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:52.960
<v Speaker 4>It's sort of a little bit more of a practice time.

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 4>So I think everything that happens between now and then

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 4>is affected by that, Like every decision they make about

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 4>player health, the way they're practicing. All of those things,

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.119
<v Speaker 4>to me are probably a reflection of the domino effect

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 4>working backwards from spending a week in Australia.

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about that, because I think it's really interesting.

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>The Rams are gonna fly in on the ninth, play

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 3>the game on the tenth, and then get right back

0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 3>on the burden.

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Lying on the ninth in Australia.

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 1>The ninth then that I don't know, but they're gonna

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 1>basically fly in or play fly out there. You know

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>they're talking about you know, we're Navy seals.

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 3>You know we're going to go in and do our deal,

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 3>do our deal and get out where the Niners are

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 3>going in nine days early.

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.160
<v Speaker 1>They're going to acclimate to the time difference.

0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 3>It's a seventeen hour travel, I believe our difference between

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Melbourne time and specific Standard time.

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 1>It's also about a sixteen hour flight.

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I almost feel like whoever wins the game

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 3>is not just gonna win the game, They're also going

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 3>to kind of win the This is how you prepare

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:52.640
<v Speaker 3>for Australia.

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.040
<v Speaker 4>Debate which way which way it hurts to lose more

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 4>when you spend a week out there or when you

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 4>came in the night before. Probably when you spend a

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:01.200
<v Speaker 4>week out I think spending a week out there, I

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 4>mean I think, I don't. I don't think the way

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.959
<v Speaker 4>they're traveling tells us that one team cares more than

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 4>the other. I think the Rams did it and it worked.

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.440
<v Speaker 4>Weren't the Jags in London for like two weeks when

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 4>the Rams were out there the morning of the game

0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:16.440
<v Speaker 4>and beat them. But you know, I do think from

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 4>the nine you think back to how important beating the

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 4>Rams on Thursday Night football last year was. I don't think.

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, my guess is that whoever the Niners were

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 4>playing in Week one, they would treat it the same way.

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:34.120
<v Speaker 4>But it does feel like, you know, it only highlights

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 4>the importance of this game, right, how significant it would

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.159
<v Speaker 4>be to beat the Rams week one, knowing what you

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 4>have coming up after that with three straight home games,

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 4>and it is fascinating. I mean, I don't know.

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 4>The other part of it is the game is ten

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 4>thirty am there, right, so that's so unnatural. Will it

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 4>feel more natural to the Rams because they haven't been there,

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 4>because they'll bardy clocks will beyond primetime West Coast time?

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:04.840
<v Speaker 4>Or will it feel more natural than Niners because maybe

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.439
<v Speaker 4>they've slept. I don't know. But that's the other factor

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 4>that really you're not just traveling, you're playing it at

0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 4>a weird time, right.

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a coin flip. I mean.

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.119
<v Speaker 3>I kind of like the vibe that I kind of

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 3>like the vibe of let's fly in there at the

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.360
<v Speaker 3>last second and not get you know, let's have regular,

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 3>everything's regular in our schedule until the flight, and then

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:28.640
<v Speaker 3>let's try to react to the flight and play the game.

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like the RAMS approach.

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:31.200
<v Speaker 2>A little bit more.

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:36.879
<v Speaker 3>But but the Fortinitars feel very confident that they that

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 3>they feel like they've done the studies and that they

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 3>need to get some you know, acclimate to the time

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 3>difference and the travel. The Rams sent a contingent of

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 3>people also to Melbourne and this is what they came

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.480
<v Speaker 3>up with. I mean, it's riveting because it's the Rams

0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.119
<v Speaker 3>and the Niners are truly the NFL's guinea pigs on

0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Australia and this travel and teams are going to watch

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 3>very closely to see, you know, how these teams play

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.720
<v Speaker 3>in the game and maybe more importantly, how they look

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 3>in week two, three and four coming out of the game.

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>What if both the Niners and Rams are horrible, Yeah,

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in the month coming out of the game, we may never.

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:15.400
<v Speaker 2>See a game in Australia ever.

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Again, well, somebody will have lost.

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 4>As long as somebody wins and somebody loses, the NFL's happy, right, right,

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 4>as long as they finish that game. I don't hear

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 4>what happens Week's two, three, four, five. Yeah, I mean,

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.479
<v Speaker 4>you know, if the game, the one thing that as

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 4>it relates to the travel is like, if the game

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 4>is twenty seven twenty four final, did the team that

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.560
<v Speaker 4>won the game definitely travel a better way? Or did

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 4>somebody win in somebody long? Now, if it's forty one

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 4>to ten, that's a different story. Sure, you know, it's

0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 4>a good point. So I think I want to be

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 4>a little careful, like when it plays out, it's not

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.120
<v Speaker 4>always gonna be about someone just might have made a play, right,

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 4>but it is. I mean, I you may know the score,

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't recall, but I think the Rams kind of

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 4>blew the doors off the Jags in London when they

0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 4>went out there. Of course the Rams also were probably, Yeah,

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 4>they're a better team.

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.960
<v Speaker 1>They're better team. They you know, they maybe the best team,

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Jags definitely were not.

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 4>The other part of it, too, is like it's Raheem

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 4>and Kyle and McVeigh and how well these guys know

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 4>each other. Yeah, and so Raheem's coming in with a

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 4>defensive system that Shawn's familiar with, but it is new

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:20.520
<v Speaker 4>to the Niners. Sewan's thirteen personnels, you know, taking a

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 4>link by storm. Everyone's talking about thirteen personnel. Is he

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 4>really gonna is he gonna change up? Is he gonna

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 4>throw a curveball? Week one feels like he probably will

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 4>do something right. That's different. These two teams playing Week one,

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 4>just that in and of itself is really interesting. Yeah,

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:38.199
<v Speaker 4>because of how well they know each other, you know,

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 4>and then you factor in the Australia part, it's even

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 4>it's even more interesting.

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:44.439
<v Speaker 3>And I also think it's vitally important. I mean, they

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.399
<v Speaker 3>look at the Niners schedule at the end of the year.

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:48.920
<v Speaker 3>I think they're gonna the Niners need to bank wins

0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:50.680
<v Speaker 3>in September and look at the Rams.

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:52.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, if the Rams somehow.

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Stumble in that game, they get the Giants the next week,

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:57.720
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna be a national TV game on the road.

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.199
<v Speaker 3>I believe if they wind up starting oh in too,

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>the Rams, you know, the pressure could mount because the

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 3>expectations are very high.

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a Super Bowl season for the Rams.

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:08.880
<v Speaker 3>They're hoping and if they dropped to zero and two

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 3>to start the year for whatever reason, man, it could

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 3>be a five alarm fire in LA.

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 4>You also feel it's kind of great Can you win

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.080
<v Speaker 4>without Kittle? If Kittle's not playing that game, is mikel

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 4>gonna be able to make that trip? Michael Williams, well

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 4>he playing that game. Can you win without them? You know?

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Like I think that's also you feel really good. I

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.040
<v Speaker 4>think you know that Rams game last year was so important.

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 4>It was also such an exhale because you found a

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.439
<v Speaker 4>way to win without your full compliment. It was a

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 4>Kendrick Bourne game. It was like Mac Jones is throwing

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 4>up and Pignero's got to hit these clutch kicks, and

0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, Alfred Collins makes the play in the year

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 4>and all that kind of stuff, And so you know,

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:51.680
<v Speaker 4>when you can win, I think, especially early without your

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 4>full team or without all your stars, it's there's a

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 4>confidence that comes from it that's really important.

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's talk a little bit about you mentioned

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 3>Raheem Morris. Why don't we start on the defensive side

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 3>of the ball and talk about Raheem. He's He's been

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 3>a great addition so far. I think the secondary is

0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 3>looking really really more cohesive.

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>In a very short amount of time.

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like all three levels of the defense have

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 3>been impacted by Raheem. You know, today the Niners brought

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 3>in ogbot Ocuronquo, why do they bring him in?

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean he he's got.

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Experience playing for Raheem, so right, Raheem's.

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Having an impact on the roster.

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I think he had an impact on the draft, definitely

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 3>had an impact on some of the undrafted free agents.

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 1>What do you see so far with Raheem Morris.

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting where you hear the players say in terms

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 4>of like now you know, this is the time of

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 4>year where you say, like, oh, this system is so

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 4>much better than the last system, and this one's tailored

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 4>to me, and this is where I do things well.

0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:47.040
<v Speaker 4>But I mean the rally was it didn't work last

0:26:47.119 --> 0:26:50.359
<v Speaker 4>year and it wasn't Robert Solad's fault. The injuries were devastating.

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:52.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you can't get a pass rush, whether

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 4>you're playing simple or if you're playing complicated, either one

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 4>is going to blow up. Right this year, if you're

0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 4>playing a more simplistic offense in terms of ready reacts

0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:04.160
<v Speaker 4>for your secondary, that's gonna blow up if they don't

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.159
<v Speaker 4>have a pass rush. And last year, definitely it was

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 4>really hard. You're not gonna confuse any quarterbacks without a

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 4>pass rush. So like hearing we just heard Jake Brendle talk.

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.919
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was really interesting him talking about how

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 4>we're getting to see every front there is now and

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 4>that wasn't always the case, and that mat You know,

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 4>that mental tax in camp pays off during the season,

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.359
<v Speaker 4>So I mean that's one kind of side benefit so

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 4>far with Raheem. I think also like we we so

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 4>badly you think about like the twenty nineteen you so

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 4>badly want them to be just like this badass defense

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.439
<v Speaker 4>that just gets after the quarterback and is just it's

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 4>it's simple because it's talented. And really, if they could

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 4>just raise the floor from last year to being a

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:49.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, can they be like a top Can they

0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:54.640
<v Speaker 4>be like fringy tenth to fourteenth on defense because they're

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 4>always so efficient on offense that that would be a major, major,

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 4>major improvement. And you know, whether or not Raheem gets

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:03.120
<v Speaker 4>another shot at being a head coach, I don't know.

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 4>But even if he does, it probably takes a couple

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 4>of years. Oh that's what we thought about Salad and

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:09.440
<v Speaker 4>he got one real fast. But the idea that you

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 4>could solidify your defense and do it with some maybe

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.199
<v Speaker 4>long term continuity because Colin Raheem has such a good

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 4>relationship I think is it's kind of perfect.

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.800
<v Speaker 3>The defense gets a I thought, a huge break in

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 3>being able to acquire OsO Diggy Zoo, and you don't

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 3>typically get defensive tackles that are healthy in the prime

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.639
<v Speaker 3>of their career, you know, just traded to your team.

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 3>It just rarely happens. But the Cowboys obliged. They send

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 3>him away. They had brought in Kinney Clark, they had

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 3>brought in Quinn Williams, and those guys were kind of

0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 3>the new flavor of the month, despite the fact that

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Osa really outperformed those two guys last year in Dallas.

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But Osa is now a forty nine er. We talked

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to him the other day, very intense guy.

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 3>I just asked Jake Brendle about him, and he's like, Hey,

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 3>he's strong, he's really quick, and he's smart. He'll recognize

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 3>if you're if your stance is a little different or

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:04.200
<v Speaker 3>a little off, and he'll notice the nuances you What

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:07.040
<v Speaker 3>do you think so far of OsO Digizua and what

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 3>he's what he looks like, and what he may add

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 3>to this defense.

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think he adds a ton. I think

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 4>you noticed it right away the first time he saw

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 4>him on the feeling oh my god, look at this guy.

0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 4>It's you know, it's just when you see guys in person,

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 4>it's so different. I don't know the first guy you

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 4>remember seeing in person going, oh my god, I remember

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 4>seeing Carson Palmer in person for the first time on

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 4>the field, seeing Peyton in person, pregame on the field,

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 4>just oh my, these guys are He's so big, and

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 4>those guys are big by big standards when it comes

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 4>to quarterbacking. And when you see Osa standing next to

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 4>other defensive line and he's not like you know, you

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 4>used to see Buckner in Armstead and you got those

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 4>guys are so tall. Osa, the way he is built,

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 4>it reminds me a little bit of when you see

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 4>Trent Williams, Like all these guys are big, freak athletes

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 4>on the offensive line, but Trent is actually built a

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 4>little differently. And that's say you feel about Osa because

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 4>of his length and his the way he's just so cut.

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 4>His lower half its cut, his calves are cut, his

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 4>arms are cut. You just notice that he is among

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 4>the one percenters, like a one percenter physically, and then

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 4>when the mental matches up and the effort matches up

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 4>and the production matches up. You're right, it really is crazy.

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 4>You don't just get teams to give you players like that. So,

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean you think about like the keys of this team.

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of keys, but I think that guy

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 4>is gonna change the game for them on defense.

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I can't wait to hear you and Tim Ryan.

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, Tim is a former defensive out. He's so

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 3>great and and I loved him. Tim's one of my

0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 3>favorite guys. He's got a sling. He looks like he's

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.200
<v Speaker 3>got a little for elbow or shoulder injury or something.

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>But I'm really interested to hear what he.

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Thinks of Osa in this defense as a former defensive tackle.

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, Tim was so strong, you played

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 3>it like two ninety five. This guy Osa is incredibly strong,

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 3>but he's also one of the fastest defensive tackles we've

0:30:59.440 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 3>seen the last twenty years.

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 1>In a lot of ways, he's revolutionized the position.

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 3>They're bigger guys, as you stated, but man as far

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 3>as speed, one of.

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>The faster defensive tackles in pro football.

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.520
<v Speaker 3>And I'm really eager to see, you know, Tim's reaction

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 3>to Osa and the total package of what he contributes.

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be great radio.

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 4>He already told me. I said, I said they got

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Bosa and they had Osa, and he's like, oh.

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Pros, Well, that's a good one.

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 4>That's Tims, that's times, that's all. That's all t Rocks.

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Uh So, But explain to me, like, from your perspective,

0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 4>you think Osa looks quick off the line to you,

0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 4>is that what you talk about when you talk about speed?

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean I just think that

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 3>when you're you know, everything's everything matters so much more

0:31:40.520 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 3>in a confined space. And I just I just think

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 3>that Osa looks like a guy that you have to double,

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:48.400
<v Speaker 3>and you got to double Bosa and now you've got

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 3>to double os OsO Diggi Zua.

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>When you have one guy in a line that needs

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>to be doubled, man, that helps. But when you have two, yeah, it's.

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>That whole new world.

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>And I just think that once we give them the meat potatoes,

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Osa and Bosa.

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Are both gonna have to be doubled or it's gonna

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 3>be a long day for the opposation.

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, Mike Michael Williams could really use it

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 4>year like that yeah, playing next to guys like that,

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, so could Alfred so get on yes, exactly,

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 4>so he gets one on ones. You know, you'd love

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 4>to see a guy, especially coming off the injury like Mikeel,

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 4>just like have some some the traditional success, meaning like sacks.

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's not necessarily how he's gonna be judged. Yeah,

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 4>it's not exactly what he's here for, but I mean

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 4>to have that production, the confidence that comes with it,

0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 4>the opportunity to play free and you know, like not

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:43.959
<v Speaker 4>have to. It's so funny how quickly, and I think

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 4>it's happened with mikel how quickly you go from like

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 4>hey he's a rookie, let's just see how it goes,

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 4>to well, they need him if something happens to him there,

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:51.240
<v Speaker 4>it's a big problem.

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:51.479
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 4>But he hasn't played that much NFL football, So I'm

0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:58.160
<v Speaker 4>playing next to Bosa and Osa. I think he is

0:32:58.200 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 4>the guy that I think of, you know, like, God,

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:01.880
<v Speaker 4>what what a gift if he can really if he

0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 4>could play seventeen games with those guys or close to it,

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 4>maybe fifteen, that'd be pretty special for him, you know,

0:33:07.960 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 4>you just because it helps us know, like do you

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 4>have it. You played it to those guys and you

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 4>produce like you probably got if you know, it may

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:18.720
<v Speaker 4>not be the answer, right if you play it to

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:20.680
<v Speaker 4>those guys and you don't produce. So it'd be great

0:33:20.720 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 4>for the evaluation.

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:25.360
<v Speaker 3>You've been out here practice all summer on the defensive

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 3>side of the ball. Is there anybody that has stood

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 3>out to you on any of the three levels of

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 3>the defense?

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I won't try to lead you in any direction, but

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>just on account of.

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Three, say who you're gonna leave me to?

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I wanted to ask you about green Law.

0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I think great, and that's what I was gonna say.

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 3>But Bernardo Green has been much improved. Yeah, I mean

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 3>he looks like a totally different player. We saw him

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 3>getting yelled at on the sideline by Shanahan and Seattle.

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 3>He came back and when we talked to him at

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 3>the podium, he's like preaching accountability and I mean literally,

0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.640
<v Speaker 3>guy was exactly the kind of things that you wanted

0:33:57.680 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 3>to hear from Guy. And it just seems like the

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 3>marriage between I mean Raheem Morris and.

0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Ronardo Green and a couple other guys too, Durrel Louder.

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.480
<v Speaker 3>It just seems like there's some of these young dbs

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:10.280
<v Speaker 3>are thriving Underheim.

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 4>I thought Leonor had a really good perspective on Ronardo

0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:15.280
<v Speaker 4>as well, Like basically what you just said was echoed

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:19.359
<v Speaker 4>by Leonor and his evaluation of Ernardo, so that it'd

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 4>be a big deal. You know, it'd be a big

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:24.600
<v Speaker 4>deal Fernardo could be. I mean, he's gonna be the

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.279
<v Speaker 4>other starting corner, there's no question about it, second round pick.

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 4>But can he yeah, can can he kind of fulfill that?

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 4>It'd be a huge deal for them if you know,

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 4>like you're just rolling out Leonor, Ronardo and Upton stout

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 4>every week and you can just now they're not big, right,

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 4>but if you can just rely on those guys to

0:34:41.239 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 4>really be I think they're all kind of similar in

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 4>terms of mindset, which I think is good.

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 4>I think it really benefited up then last year. So

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 4>Ronardo to me is the guys that I went into

0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:54.879
<v Speaker 4>the offseason thinking boy Stock is down, and I've come

0:34:54.880 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 4>back thinking Stock is it up? You mentioned green Law.

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:01.800
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know what to back from him, and I

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 4>still you know, the book is far from written. Like

0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 4>we got to see him playing games and consistently stay healthy.

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Didn't practice today.

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:12.480
<v Speaker 4>Didn't practice today, But I thought from the first practice,

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 4>I think you made the first play in the first practice.

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:16.359
<v Speaker 4>It was like, oh, he looks good.

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he says he feels good.

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean it looks good, just like Demo looks good. Yeah,

0:35:21.239 --> 0:35:25.080
<v Speaker 4>like Dimo looks good. So you know, I'm optimistic about

0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:28.879
<v Speaker 4>those those two guys for sure. You know we mentioned

0:35:28.920 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 4>oh so Fred obviously. You know, Nick Martin's been in

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 4>a lot of reps, which is interesting. Yeah, that's very interesting.

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll be very exciting if he could come of age.

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:38.880
<v Speaker 4>They don't, they're not going to probably have that many linebackers. Yeah, right.

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Jayden Dugger had a good practice today, had an interception.

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:44.400
<v Speaker 3>He's starting to make some plays. I mean, there's a

0:35:44.480 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 3>wide swath of opinions on whether or not Jayden Dugger's

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 3>ready to go or he's the youngest guy on the team.

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 1>He might not be ready to go. He might just

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>be a special teamer. But KG Wright loves him really yeah,

0:35:55.960 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I love him.

0:35:56.760 --> 0:35:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Well. I mean, if you can, if you use one

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 4>that like, tell me he makes the fifty three and

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:03.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm happy, right, It means he's trending in the right direction.

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 3>One more on the defensive side of the ball, or

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 3>really just more about one of the criticisms I keep hearing.

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I heard from Chris Sims the other day they're too old.

0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 1>They're too old.

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 3>And I think one of the questions I had guy

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:22.880
<v Speaker 3>coming into this campus to the old crew Trent, CMC, Kittle,

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:28.280
<v Speaker 3>bos Greenlaw, Warner Evans to a degree, do these guys

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 3>look old or do they are? They they're all great players,

0:36:32.800 --> 0:36:35.360
<v Speaker 3>do they still got it? Or have they crested the

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:37.560
<v Speaker 3>hill and they're really the name on the back of

0:36:37.600 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 3>the jersey is just a distant memory of what they

0:36:41.160 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 3>used to be.

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 1>And I gotta be honest, I kind of think that

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to a man. Obviously, we haven't seen Kittle yet.

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:50.040
<v Speaker 3>The rest of these guys look to me to be

0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 3>at their level. I'm not seeing slippage now. It's July

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 3>and August, so maybe we'll see it late in the year.

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 3>But I think that the Niners core of great players

0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:03.719
<v Speaker 3>looks primed and in shape for one more good year.

0:37:03.719 --> 0:37:05.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if they'll be better than they've been,

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Probably not, but I don't think there's gonna be a

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 3>gigantic drop off any of their star guys, that's just

0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:13.319
<v Speaker 3>kind of what I'm seeing here.

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:15.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know what do you see?

0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 4>Well? They are older, so it's yeah, but they look good.

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean Fred, And guess what if it looked like

0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 4>last year one of the best linebackers, maybe the best

0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:29.880
<v Speaker 4>linebacker in the league, Christian. You know, I thought Christian

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:33.879
<v Speaker 4>had it a really good year in ways that were

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.439
<v Speaker 4>different than the other really good years he's had. Last

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:40.120
<v Speaker 4>year was such a grind for him, and you know,

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:42.279
<v Speaker 4>I thought he turned you look on paper, you get

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 4>you's got three three point one or three point two,

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 4>but to me, a lot of those three point two

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:48.840
<v Speaker 4>when it should have been two point two, you know

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 4>what I mean. Like, so I thought, you know, you

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:55.440
<v Speaker 4>tell me you get that Christian again, great sign. You know,

0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:58.879
<v Speaker 4>I think they would sign up for that immediately. It's

0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 4>part of being great is even if you're now ninety

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:03.040
<v Speaker 4>percent of what you are, ninety five percent of what

0:38:03.080 --> 0:38:05.240
<v Speaker 4>you were, you're still better than a lot of people.

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:11.640
<v Speaker 4>And he's just so useful, like he's elited so many things. Trent, No,

0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 4>these guys look, look, friend's the easiest one to tell

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:20.000
<v Speaker 4>because and Christian. I guess Christian too, But they look

0:38:20.080 --> 0:38:21.680
<v Speaker 4>the same to me. I mean, they look really good.

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:22.360
<v Speaker 4>They really do.

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:25.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean I would sit here and I would gladly

0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 3>say in state, and I don't know what Mike Evans

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 3>looked like in practice, but I'm yeah, when I watched him, like, yeah,

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 3>that's probably.

0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 4>What Mike Evans looks like in practice.

0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:34.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we don't have that perspective of knowing Mike

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Evans in practice in past years. But the rest of

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:39.600
<v Speaker 3>these guys look about to the level that we all

0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 3>would all expect. Let's talk about the offense before we

0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 3>finish up here. Rock Party's heading into year five. He

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:49.480
<v Speaker 3>looks like he's still getting better. I thought he had

0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 3>a tremendous day today connecting with a number of different receivers.

0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.439
<v Speaker 3>I expect Perdy to look pretty good.

0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 1>The offensive line is the big question.

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:03.360
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot more speed at receiver, maybe even a

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 3>little bit more speed at.

0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Running back with Kaylon Black.

0:39:05.680 --> 0:39:09.120
<v Speaker 3>How do you see the offense this year with you know,

0:39:09.520 --> 0:39:14.359
<v Speaker 3>basically the same crew except for a totally remade receiving.

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Poor that's a lot faster.

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm with you on Brock. I think Brock's quietly looked

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 4>really good in this camp. Maybe not quietly. I don't know,

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:26.360
<v Speaker 4>and I do think one of the underrated storylines of

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 4>the year is this. He is an he is at

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 4>an age when quarterbacks keep getting better, right, so he's

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 4>not a finished product at this point. He'll turn what

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 4>twenty seven on December twenty seventh, which is the day

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:41.920
<v Speaker 4>that Niners play the Chiefs in Kansas City. It's a Saturday, nice,

0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:44.920
<v Speaker 4>but this is at a time when quarterbacks keep getting better, Like,

0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.600
<v Speaker 4>he's still athletically in his prime. So as you mentally

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:51.920
<v Speaker 4>get stronger it, you know you can your body can

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 4>match it as opposed to win. You're thirty five as

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 4>a quarterback in your boy at camp unless you're Tom

0:39:56.960 --> 0:39:59.080
<v Speaker 4>So I'm with Yon Brock like, I think he's looked

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:01.040
<v Speaker 4>good and I expect be a better player this year

0:40:01.040 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 4>than he was last year. My other kind of take

0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:09.319
<v Speaker 4>crew that I've developed in the last twenty four hours

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 4>is new fresh Ta is a fresh take, but I've

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 4>now this is like the third time I've repeated.

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:15.359
<v Speaker 1>It, A fresh take on repeat.

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 4>A fresh yeah is I haven't fully vetted it yet,

0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:26.799
<v Speaker 4>but Mike Evans, Debo, McCaffrey, Kittle, those four I think

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:28.759
<v Speaker 4>it could be the best red zone scoring offense of

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:33.720
<v Speaker 4>the Kyle Shanahan era, because Evans is obvious, an obvious threat. Kittle,

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 4>who was not great in the red zone early in

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:37.479
<v Speaker 4>his career, has become a weapon in the red zone

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Debo last year had five touchdowns on seventeen red zone touches.

0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 4>And obviously Christian changes the game when he's in the

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 4>game on the red zone, when he's in the when

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 4>he's healthy, changes the red zone like he did last year.

0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:53.440
<v Speaker 4>When the Niners went from bad two years ago, they're

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:56.080
<v Speaker 4>really good and scoring touchdowns in the red zone last year.

0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:59.240
<v Speaker 4>So those four plus you add the ability of Brock

0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:02.400
<v Speaker 4>to scram a little bit, like I think you get

0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:03.839
<v Speaker 4>you let those guys get in the red I asked

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.279
<v Speaker 4>you about josh Dii Bautaday. I said, what is the

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 4>what do you think the Niners average touchdown distance was

0:41:09.640 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 4>last year? And he looked it up and he said

0:41:11.520 --> 0:41:12.839
<v Speaker 4>they were last in the league. It was like eight

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 4>point something yards. So they you know, they were not

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.720
<v Speaker 4>an explosive offense. Like right, they didn't do anything explosive

0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 4>on well second and sure like where the Rams have

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:23.560
<v Speaker 4>explosive plays, the Niners don't. They just picked try to

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:26.160
<v Speaker 4>pick up the first down, So you'd love to be

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:29.360
<v Speaker 4>more explosive. But scoring in the red zone was a

0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 4>major one of the big keys last season going into

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:35.480
<v Speaker 4>the year, and they solved the problem. So I like

0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:38.480
<v Speaker 4>to me efficiency is never the question with the Shanagan offense,

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 4>but can you score in the red zone? And I

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:43.799
<v Speaker 4>think they could be really good, even better than they

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 4>were last year scoring in the red zone. But I

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 4>do think the big question remains, like does Evans and

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:50.840
<v Speaker 4>stribbling can they make them more explosive. That's where I

0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 4>think losing Ricky Piersoll really hurts. Is Ricky for you know,

0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:56.840
<v Speaker 4>some guy games. It might be forty yards and some

0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:59.800
<v Speaker 4>of it might be one twenty. But Ricky Piersoll was explosive.

0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:04.279
<v Speaker 4>I think underrated, trusted by brock Yeah or mac mack.

0:42:04.360 --> 0:42:06.239
<v Speaker 4>He had the fourth down, fourth and two and by

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:08.720
<v Speaker 4>the team fourth and two conversion down the right sideline

0:42:08.719 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 4>against the Arizona Cardinals, they took a shot to Ricky

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Pearsall on fourth and short in that game. He converted

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:19.600
<v Speaker 4>a fourth down in the was in the Eagles playoff game.

0:42:19.920 --> 0:42:21.399
<v Speaker 4>There was another big oh it was the Bears game.

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:23.319
<v Speaker 4>He had a big fourth down conversion in the Bears game,

0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 4>so I think they I think it's a little underrated

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 4>how trusted Ricky was when he was on the field,

0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.839
<v Speaker 4>and so that's where Evans and stribbling. But yeah, that's there.

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:34.480
<v Speaker 4>Could if it could be a little more explosive this year,

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 4>I think that would be kind of the next level

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 4>of this offense. And then I think Deebo maybe Devo

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 4>alleviates a little bit of the touches for Christian not

0:42:43.239 --> 0:42:44.879
<v Speaker 4>necessarily in the run game, but maybe in the short

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:45.439
<v Speaker 4>passing game.

0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:48.360
<v Speaker 1>A couple of quick hitters on the way out. Kittle,

0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:50.280
<v Speaker 1>if you had your druthers.

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch came to you and said, hey, guy,

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.479
<v Speaker 3>what week should we should we play?

0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle?

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:57.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like, thanks for asking.

0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:00.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know he wants to be back week one,

0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:02.960
<v Speaker 3>but if it was me, I'd say week five, Week four.

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying bye, week I want to play.

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 3>I want up to Georgia by week Yeah, I would

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:08.520
<v Speaker 3>say like week eight, week nine. I mean, you know,

0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:10.839
<v Speaker 3>nine months, nine to twelve months is what I think

0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:13.239
<v Speaker 3>he should heal. That would be like eight and a

0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:15.399
<v Speaker 3>half months. Yeah, so'll be coming back a little soon,

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 3>but I don't want to see him there. Week one,

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to see him Week two, I don't

0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 3>want to see him in the first month. I don't

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:22.120
<v Speaker 3>want to see him in September. I may not even

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:24.080
<v Speaker 3>want to see him in October. I've been seeing I

0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:26.200
<v Speaker 3>would hide his helmet until Halloween and then give it

0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:26.960
<v Speaker 3>to him with a bunch.

0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Of candy in it.

0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:29.799
<v Speaker 4>It's a great idea. I mean, it's especially if if

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:31.400
<v Speaker 4>you can win that Rams game and then you come

0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 4>home and you feel good, maybe you can win those three.

0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 1>And conscises up has looked really good on this practice field.

0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:39.759
<v Speaker 4>Part of it is like Juice didn't practice day with

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 4>a broken finger. That's where you.

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:43.359
<v Speaker 1>Like, you know us.

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Jack said at the other day, it's like somebody asked

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:47.479
<v Speaker 4>him about man, what you asked?

0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:49.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, are you going to get more run at

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:50.839
<v Speaker 3>tight end with Kittle out? And He's like, Hey, I'm

0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:52.719
<v Speaker 3>kind of a jack of all trades. I used to

0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:54.560
<v Speaker 3>be a third down receiver, but we had to see him,

0:43:54.600 --> 0:43:56.320
<v Speaker 3>see him no longer third down receiver.

0:43:56.480 --> 0:43:57.919
<v Speaker 4>And I think they're doing more of it with him,

0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more of it even with Kittle, So

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:04.400
<v Speaker 4>I like losing him. Really, I think affects the ability

0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:07.279
<v Speaker 4>to I mean again, maybe he's back soon. Maybe he's back,

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:11.120
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know, but you said quick hutter. Yeah,

0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:12.959
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'd love to win the first four games

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 4>and then you can really sit on George for a

0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:16.839
<v Speaker 4>little while. But you know, George like he's gonna want

0:44:16.840 --> 0:44:19.799
<v Speaker 4>to play this, he wants to be back. I gotta

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:21.640
<v Speaker 4>look at the turf schedule after the Giants game.

0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, tofurbly keep him off the bad turf.

0:44:25.320 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Shanahan's injury from the car crash something nothing, something major?

0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Is it?

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:34.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, forget about him and his family and his health.

0:44:35.160 --> 0:44:38.439
<v Speaker 3>That's all just for the people who were talking about

0:44:38.480 --> 0:44:41.960
<v Speaker 3>the Niners. And how does it affect football? Do you

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:44.480
<v Speaker 3>see this being a big deal, a little deal or

0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:47.279
<v Speaker 3>no deal as far as the impact on the team, Yeah,

0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess it depends how long he's out.

0:44:49.320 --> 0:44:51.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we've seen him more and more in practice.

0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 4>Is he coaching week one? Does he get a headache

0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:56.319
<v Speaker 4>on the plane to Australia? You know that sort of

0:44:56.320 --> 0:45:01.400
<v Speaker 4>thing that's concerning sure, just sure, because uh you know,

0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:04.880
<v Speaker 4>I think you know Kyle got named somebody did a

0:45:04.920 --> 0:45:06.840
<v Speaker 4>list through the day, like the top play callers, and

0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:10.200
<v Speaker 4>of course like he he he was number one, you

0:45:10.239 --> 0:45:13.560
<v Speaker 4>see that list. Yeah yeah, but of course, like fine,

0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:15.000
<v Speaker 4>or it could be three, or it could be two,

0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:17.160
<v Speaker 4>or but like he gets so much credit for the

0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:19.239
<v Speaker 4>play calling. I think he doesn't get enough credit for

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 4>his leadership. Like you think back, this is your ten.

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:25.120
<v Speaker 4>When you think back to him being a coaching candidate,

0:45:25.160 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 4>the big knock was he's hard to work with. You know,

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:30.680
<v Speaker 4>he's not going to be like basically like will he

0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:33.560
<v Speaker 4>run a real good culture or is he like too

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.840
<v Speaker 4>entitled or too mean or whatever it is, And like

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:41.239
<v Speaker 4>the results are in he establishes a good culture. I

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.279
<v Speaker 4>think it's a little underrated what a good leader he

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:45.799
<v Speaker 4>is and what a good overall football guy he is.

0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:48.879
<v Speaker 4>Like the football team, full team meetings that he holds

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:50.759
<v Speaker 4>our legendary, like the players talk about it.

0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:51.520
<v Speaker 1>He teaches.

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:53.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to call him Belichick, but it sounds

0:45:53.520 --> 0:45:54.839
<v Speaker 4>it's like the same stuff you hear.

0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:57.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's a teacher of the game of special team,

0:45:59.280 --> 0:45:59.960
<v Speaker 3>special teams.

0:46:00.440 --> 0:46:01.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what I've heard.

0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I've heard that there's no phase of the game

0:46:03.239 --> 0:46:06.600
<v Speaker 3>that Kyle doesn't kind of take the lead in from

0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:07.120
<v Speaker 3>time to time.

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:09.440
<v Speaker 4>I just think he's so because he rightfully gets so

0:46:09.480 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 4>much credit as a play caller, he gets a little

0:46:12.080 --> 0:46:17.600
<v Speaker 4>underrated as an overall CEO football coach. And to me

0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:21.080
<v Speaker 4>that it's not that like that that's where you just

0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:24.600
<v Speaker 4>lose him, you know, and the player this time of year,

0:46:24.640 --> 0:46:27.720
<v Speaker 4>having Fred Warner and having Christian mccaff like Brock Purty,

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:31.239
<v Speaker 4>that's all great to me. Players can only hold it

0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.600
<v Speaker 4>together for so long, Like you still need the CA

0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:35.840
<v Speaker 4>there's still can Like when I see a company with

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:40.120
<v Speaker 4>co CEO, someone's like, oh sell Like no, right, Like

0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:42.399
<v Speaker 4>it's just it's it's a nice idea for a little while,

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 4>but it can't last forever. Yeah, And Kyle is so

0:46:44.880 --> 0:46:47.720
<v Speaker 4>clearly the boss, and not just because he was hired

0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:49.400
<v Speaker 4>to be the boss, but because he's earned he earns

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:52.600
<v Speaker 4>it from the players. They just trust him so much, rightfully,

0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:54.520
<v Speaker 4>and they tell us about it. So like, I think

0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:59.360
<v Speaker 4>that's a major loss that you can you can sustain

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:01.040
<v Speaker 4>it for a little Like if you told me it

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:02.759
<v Speaker 4>was out till week eight, I go, I don't think

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:04.919
<v Speaker 4>he can sustain that. I just think he's too important. Yeah,

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.759
<v Speaker 4>I agree, No matter how great your leadership is or

0:47:07.800 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 4>how well your coaching staff knows that. It's just there

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:11.600
<v Speaker 4>are too many moments where a head coach has to

0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:12.680
<v Speaker 4>step up and be the head.

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Coach, and especially when he's to play.

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Caller, especially when he's to play caller. But I'm just

0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:20.520
<v Speaker 4>talking about all the other stuff. Also, yeah, and and

0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:23.080
<v Speaker 4>I think he's so he's excellent. He's truly excellent at it.

0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:25.279
<v Speaker 4>So like right now, it's great. It looks like it's

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:26.240
<v Speaker 4>trending in the right direction.

0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:28.839
<v Speaker 3>Man, I can't get out of here without giving him

0:47:28.880 --> 0:47:31.239
<v Speaker 3>one Guy Haberman question. I'm a big Guy Haberman fan.

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:35.400

0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:04.680
<v Speaker 3>a big fan of you as a broadcaster.

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you're doing doing the games with Tim Ryan, You've.

0:48:08.880 --> 0:48:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Worked in big time college football, you've covered other major

0:48:11.719 --> 0:48:15.279
<v Speaker 3>sports broadcasting the NFL from year one?

0:48:15.440 --> 0:48:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Is there one thing that you either gleaned.

0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Learned something that you think is really valuable Because there's

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 3>a lot of young broadcasters.

0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I get this, I'm sure you get this.

0:48:24.520 --> 0:48:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I want to be the next Greg Popa, I

0:48:26.600 --> 0:48:27.959
<v Speaker 3>want to be the next Tim Ryan.

0:48:28.000 --> 0:48:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to be the next Guy Aberman. How do

0:48:29.960 --> 0:48:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I do it? What do I do? What do I emphasize?

0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:34.759
<v Speaker 3>I always try to get a question in for the

0:48:34.920 --> 0:48:38.640
<v Speaker 3>for the young future broadcasters, give them a hint of

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:41.720
<v Speaker 3>what this experience has been like for you and maybe

0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:43.160
<v Speaker 3>something that you learned in your one.

0:48:43.920 --> 0:48:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know it's first of all, say it's so cliche.

0:48:47.400 --> 0:48:50.480
<v Speaker 4>It's so true anytime somebody's filling in for somebody like

0:48:50.520 --> 0:48:53.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, I can't fill his shoes. But it's part

0:48:53.200 --> 0:48:55.120
<v Speaker 4>of what made an easy transition to fill in for

0:48:55.239 --> 0:48:58.319
<v Speaker 4>Greg last year. And I learned this lesson last year

0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:00.480
<v Speaker 4>because I thought this is what I should do, and

0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:02.920
<v Speaker 4>then I felt like it worked and so filling in

0:49:02.960 --> 0:49:05.279
<v Speaker 4>for Greg again this she'll do the same thing. He

0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 4>is just I have so much respect for him. He

0:49:09.200 --> 0:49:13.000
<v Speaker 4>is so excellent at every facet. He is a complete broadcaster,

0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:16.400
<v Speaker 4>like every facet. We could get really nerdy and talk

0:49:16.440 --> 0:49:19.040
<v Speaker 4>about all the technical but just like everything that it

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 4>was so obvious to me immediately, like, don't even bother

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:25.120
<v Speaker 4>trying to be like Greg. You know, I hadn't called

0:49:25.200 --> 0:49:30.920
<v Speaker 4>radio since like two thousand and twelve.

0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Probably like high school. High school animal.

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 4>It's a totally different animal. I've been doing TV all

0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:39.359
<v Speaker 4>these years, and so I thought, you know, instead of

0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:42.120
<v Speaker 4>trying it took me a lot of I said, instead

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:46.200
<v Speaker 4>of trying to like speed everything way up and do radio,

0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:49.560
<v Speaker 4>let me just ease into I know how to TV.

0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't You can't call a game like you do on

0:49:51.400 --> 0:49:55.720
<v Speaker 4>TV on radio because there's not enough description. But you know, basically,

0:49:55.719 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 4>I was like, I won't try to go all the

0:49:57.640 --> 0:50:00.520
<v Speaker 4>way to like what Harlan or Greg are able to do,

0:50:00.560 --> 0:50:02.960
<v Speaker 4>because I just like I need to get my leg

0:50:03.040 --> 0:50:05.120
<v Speaker 4>I just I can't run at that speed too much

0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:08.440
<v Speaker 4>too soon. They're just too good at it. So that

0:50:08.600 --> 0:50:11.080
<v Speaker 4>was one thing and I felt good, you know it

0:50:11.080 --> 0:50:13.480
<v Speaker 4>helped to have Tim, who's an excellent it really is.

0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:16.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not it's just my energy analysts really really like

0:50:17.040 --> 0:50:17.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the best.

0:50:17.719 --> 0:50:20.359
<v Speaker 4>Like if you watched NFL preseason games around the league

0:50:20.360 --> 0:50:22.399
<v Speaker 4>to go like or just regular season games like, Yeah,

0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:24.280
<v Speaker 4>Tim Ryan is one of the best analysts in football,

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:26.640
<v Speaker 4>no doubt. So that was a big thing. I mean,

0:50:26.760 --> 0:50:28.440
<v Speaker 4>we could talk about this for hours. I don't know

0:50:28.480 --> 0:50:29.920
<v Speaker 4>how much of it is relevant to a lot to

0:50:29.960 --> 0:50:32.880
<v Speaker 4>most people, but I mean those were two things, you know,

0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:35.439
<v Speaker 4>just I think the other thing and this is something

0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:37.080
<v Speaker 4>that got better as time went on, and I talked

0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:40.080
<v Speaker 4>to Bob Sergeant a lot about it during the season.

0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:43.160
<v Speaker 4>It's were great, Like if you listen to Greg you

0:50:43.160 --> 0:50:46.240
<v Speaker 4>could tune in the second quarter or the fourth quarter

0:50:46.680 --> 0:50:48.960
<v Speaker 4>and there was so much urgency on every play. Not

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:52.320
<v Speaker 4>with what he's saying, but just it does be the NFL,

0:50:52.920 --> 0:50:55.560
<v Speaker 4>the games matter. I do a lot of college football

0:50:55.560 --> 0:50:57.400
<v Speaker 4>and those games matter a lot too, But you know,

0:50:57.680 --> 0:50:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Week three, it might be Indiana Charlotte, or it might

0:50:59.880 --> 0:51:02.840
<v Speaker 4>be Michigan bowling Green, Like, it doesn't quite matter the

0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:06.200
<v Speaker 4>same the NFL. There's no warm ups, right the preseason

0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:07.880
<v Speaker 4>is the warm ups. Week ones not the warm up,

0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:11.920
<v Speaker 4>and so like, how do I like have the energy

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:14.160
<v Speaker 4>that you need in radio is just different than in television.

0:51:14.640 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 4>It's just different, like you need more, and so like

0:51:18.280 --> 0:51:20.360
<v Speaker 4>listening back to tapes and understanding like how does that

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:22.040
<v Speaker 4>come off? Is that too much? Is that too little?

0:51:22.120 --> 0:51:24.439
<v Speaker 4>Is that? What's that? I've never called a team's games?

0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:26.239
<v Speaker 1>What did my touchdown call? Do I do?

0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:29.279
<v Speaker 4>San Francisco? That's Greg's maybe I'll do it once. You

0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:31.040
<v Speaker 4>know you do it in homage, but I can't copy that.

0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:32.560
<v Speaker 4>But then so what do I say? Like does it

0:51:32.600 --> 0:51:33.440
<v Speaker 4>need to be a signature?

0:51:33.480 --> 0:51:33.640
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:51:33.680 --> 0:51:36.520
<v Speaker 4>So like if you listen to every game, you would

0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:38.160
<v Speaker 4>hear last year and people would take it and.

0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 1>It was fine.

0:51:38.560 --> 0:51:42.960
<v Speaker 4>I was experimenting touchdown calls in real time because there's

0:51:43.000 --> 0:51:44.560
<v Speaker 4>no other way to duplicate it, like I can't sit

0:51:44.600 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 4>at home in the shower, like you can't do it,

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:49.360
<v Speaker 4>like you need the real energy of the real game.

0:51:49.520 --> 0:51:52.120
<v Speaker 4>So that was fun just trying to figure that out

0:51:52.200 --> 0:51:54.480
<v Speaker 4>and then ultimately concluding like I guess it doesn't need

0:51:54.560 --> 0:51:56.560
<v Speaker 4>to be any one thing. Those things tend to take

0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:59.640
<v Speaker 4>care of themselves, like you just call it. Eventually the

0:51:59.719 --> 0:52:01.400
<v Speaker 4>right thing, it'll come out and you can't plan it.

0:52:01.960 --> 0:52:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Lots of prep, you know. Preparation is the key, of course,

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:07.319
<v Speaker 3>but you do it a great chob. Hey man, thanks

0:52:07.360 --> 0:52:09.479
