WEBVTT - Do the Niners need to make an additional move before the trade deadline? 0:00:00.700 --> 0:00:04.150 You've found dirty work with Adam Copeland and Derek Papa. 0:00:05.030 --> 0:00:10.670 Where no job is too dirty. On KNBR. The Sports Leader. 0:00:11.330 --> 0:00:12.350 He will run the ball. 0:00:12.410 --> 0:00:14.030 He's like Kyle Shanahan. 0:00:14.130 --> 0:00:14.490 Even down 17. 0:00:14.470 --> 0:00:14.730 Nothing. 0:00:14.750 --> 0:00:15.890 Rodgers fumbled the ball. 0:00:16.170 --> 0:00:19.370 Buckner's got it. DeForest Buckner picked it up as Aaron 0:00:19.430 --> 0:00:23.000 Rodgers just dropped the center snap from Corey Lindsley. 0:00:23.380 --> 0:00:24.020 49ers takeover. 0:00:24.070 --> 0:00:28.840 Rolling on the field. It's a muff snap. Recovered by 0:00:28.860 --> 0:00:36.670 the defense. First down. DeForest Buckner acquired today by the 0:00:36.690 --> 0:00:41.880 49ers for a 2027 fourth round pick. And the Niners 0:00:41.900 --> 0:00:44.300 will take on nearly $ 8 million of his contract. But 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.200 somebody pointed this out on the text line earlier. I 0:00:46.220 --> 0:00:47.860 forgot to get to it. It was a good point. 0:00:47.900 --> 0:00:51.019 It was nice that they acquired him today because he'll 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.080 get a bye week in there, too. He doesn't have 0:00:53.100 --> 0:00:55.260 to play a game this Sunday, and that's a big deal. 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:55.840 Yes, it is. 0:00:55.860 --> 0:01:00.020 Yeah, keep him fresh, considering how I get his mentals right, too. 0:01:00.270 --> 0:01:02.050 Think about how freeing this has got to feel for 0:01:02.070 --> 0:01:03.810 DeForest Buckner. To get the hell out of Indy? He's like, hell, 0:01:03.850 --> 0:01:04.950 I'll pay those taxes, man. 0:01:04.990 --> 0:01:05.390 I don't care. 0:01:05.410 --> 0:01:06.130 Just get me out of Indy. 0:01:06.630 --> 0:01:07.670 Well, it's not like he was fed up. 0:01:07.930 --> 0:01:08.510 He was done. 0:01:08.530 --> 0:01:08.870 He was. 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.280 I completely did. I told you the other day, Quentin 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:12.700 Nelson effectively said goodbye. 0:01:12.740 --> 0:01:12.940 Yeah. 0:01:13.340 --> 0:01:15.910 Well, maybe they knew before the game that if they 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.860 lost again, that they were going to be shipped out. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.550 I think they might've had a talk. I think, you know, 0:01:19.620 --> 0:01:20.970 once Ballard is fired, you know? 0:01:21.069 --> 0:01:22.890 Well, of course, but I was kind of surprised this 0:01:22.930 --> 0:01:26.510 happened all today. Like there's still time where other teams 0:01:26.530 --> 0:01:28.890 could give offers, but I guess like they did their 0:01:28.910 --> 0:01:31.209 due diligence, the Colts and talked around the league and 0:01:31.270 --> 0:01:32.869 no one was willing to budge maybe off a fifth 0:01:32.910 --> 0:01:35.110 round pick when it came to the bears or somebody else. 0:01:35.150 --> 0:01:37.190 And again, it's a 32 year old player with an 0:01:37.230 --> 0:01:40.470 expiring contract. Now, some people may say, like, this isn't 0:01:40.490 --> 0:01:41.970 that big of a deal. It's a guy that's past 0:01:41.990 --> 0:01:44.750 his prime. But DeForest Buckner going back to the 49ers 0:01:44.790 --> 0:01:46.899 and Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch knowing him, I'd say 0:01:46.940 --> 0:01:48.600 it's a big-time move. I don't think they're done. I 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.340 think they're going to try to acquire Khalil Mack as well. But, yes, 0:01:51.380 --> 0:01:53.520 this is significant for the 49ers. I'm just a little 0:01:53.540 --> 0:01:55.430 surprised that more teams weren't willing to do what the 0:01:55.470 --> 0:01:57.410 Niners did today, but I guess that's kind of telling 0:01:57.430 --> 0:01:58.300 where the rest of the league was at. 0:01:58.780 --> 0:02:01.720 That's a great texture, dude. Here we came down to 5-1-2. 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.720 A Texas area coach checks in. I said, it is 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.900 kind of like a reboot, right? The 49ers have five 0:02:05.980 --> 0:02:08.360 players on their roster, I believe is the note, that 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.609 they drafted between. Here, I'll get you the exact note. 0:02:11.630 --> 0:02:15.990 This is for Josh Dubow of the Associated Press. He 0:02:16.030 --> 0:02:17.670 says they've got five players on the roster that they 0:02:17.690 --> 0:02:21.000 drafted between 2016 and 2023, which is kind of incredible. 0:02:21.030 --> 0:02:21.859 Five players in the 53-minute. 0:02:25.500 --> 0:02:27.000 So George Kittle, Debo Samuel. 0:02:27.020 --> 0:02:28.160 George Kittle, Debo Samuel. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.579 DeForest Buckner. DeForest Buckner. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.120 I think Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:32.380 Yeah, I guess so. 0:02:32.380 --> 0:02:33.839 Is that right? All those guys are there, and they're 0:02:33.860 --> 0:02:35.260 all majorly impactful players. 0:02:35.690 --> 0:02:36.090 Yeah. 0:02:36.110 --> 0:02:38.150 808-KMBR is the number to call and text. 512 says... 0:02:39.180 --> 0:02:41.600 Because I said, what's the best reboot? Is there really 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.860 ever a good reboot? He says, station brought by Kruger 0:02:43.900 --> 0:02:45.440 and Lund is questioning the Niners reboot? 0:02:45.460 --> 0:02:46.299 What are we doing here? 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:46.520 Yeah. 0:02:46.580 --> 0:02:47.750 That's the way it works, man. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.000 And there might be more. You never know. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.400 Yeah, who knows? I think what happened within like 35 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.720 days or something. Let's go back out to the phone lines. 0:02:53.740 --> 0:02:57.380 808-KMDR is the number to call. Landon is in Roseville. Landon, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.340 how are you feeling about this DeForest Buckner trade? You're 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.030 on the sports leader. 0:03:00.870 --> 0:03:02.000 You know what I love, fellas? 0:03:02.410 --> 0:03:03.090 What's that? 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:04.250 Family reunion. 0:03:04.410 --> 0:03:08.269 And it sure feels like that in San Francisco. Debo, Greenlaw. 0:03:08.350 --> 0:03:08.570 I mean. 0:03:08.990 --> 0:03:11.970 we might as well tell Matt Breda to get his, uh, 0:03:12.070 --> 0:03:14.660 get his cleats. Cause he's coming back, right? Like this 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.420 is awesome. It's a good story. It doesn't put us 0:03:17.460 --> 0:03:20.519 in a cap spot, right? Worst case scenario. It's like 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.859 a chase young situation. It's a rental for a super 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:23.460 bowl push. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:23.780 Yeah. 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.080 Best case scenario, right? You have a mentor for the 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.320 D tackle room outside of Oso Digizua. You have a 0:03:30.380 --> 0:03:34.980 guy who could absolutely dominate in our system, uh, who knows, 0:03:35.220 --> 0:03:37.500 who knows this team really well, who's a leader, uh, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.480 Now the real question is, what's next? And I've been 0:03:41.500 --> 0:03:43.910 listening the last 30 minutes. Look, Garrett Wilson, that's a 0:03:43.950 --> 0:03:47.070 pipe dream. Brian Thomas Jr., that's a pipe dream. Who 0:03:47.110 --> 0:03:50.730 you need to get is Khalil Mack, for sure. And 0:03:50.870 --> 0:03:53.750 most importantly, in my opinion, you need to go get 0:03:53.770 --> 0:03:57.430 a fringe starter to be a corner four behind Upton Stout, 0:03:57.450 --> 0:03:59.150 because Ashton Davis, trash. 0:03:59.170 --> 0:03:59.350 Trash. 0:03:59.370 --> 0:04:01.780 That's been a liability against Washington and then last week. 0:04:01.620 --> 0:04:11.420 Against like our, our, it looked a little suspect. So 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.339 I feel like, you know, the 2020 Tampa Bay bucks 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.970 gave us the recipe, the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles and the 0:04:20.970 --> 0:04:24.670 2025 Seattle Seahawks. It starts up front on the D line. 0:04:24.970 --> 0:04:28.210 You need good players in your, you know, playing corners 0:04:28.270 --> 0:04:32.220 and safeties and defense wins championships. I don't care if 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.310 it's a 30 plus year old DeMarcus Robinson or, Mike Evans, like, 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.510 our offense is fine. These receivers are coming back. We 0:04:39.550 --> 0:04:42.090 need to just go all in on defense right now. 0:04:42.830 --> 0:04:43.430 I agree. 0:04:43.810 --> 0:04:45.950 I'm absolutely with you, Landon. Here's what I would say, too, 0:04:46.010 --> 0:04:47.690 and just throwing out to a corner, and I know 0:04:47.710 --> 0:04:49.550 this may be where they are because he said a 0:04:49.589 --> 0:04:52.190 corner four, and he's right about what we've seen from 0:04:52.770 --> 0:04:56.450 Jack Jones and from Ashton Davis. Nate Hobbs is still... 0:04:57.140 --> 0:04:59.070 on IR for the Niners. And I know that he 0:04:59.110 --> 0:05:01.450 was talked about a couple of weeks back. Kyle was 0:05:01.529 --> 0:05:03.270 asked about him, and it kind of came out of nowhere. 0:05:03.290 --> 0:05:05.210 I'd forgotten about him because we haven't seen him in 0:05:05.250 --> 0:05:06.790 so long. But he's a guy who I think they 0:05:06.810 --> 0:05:09.390 will anticipate back at some point. So there's another veteran 0:05:09.450 --> 0:05:12.400 potential that could be your fourth corner there. Ephesians Prysock 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:12.980 is around, too. 0:05:13.100 --> 0:05:15.119 Yeah, and Upton Stout will be back at some point. 0:05:15.260 --> 0:05:17.380 Yeah, Stout, I think Stout will be back shortly after 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:17.680 the bye. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.539 I mean, like, do you want to make a move? 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.279 Do you want to see if the Philadelphia Eagles are 0:05:21.300 --> 0:05:23.590 willing to move Tariq Wolin? I mean, that's a guy 0:05:23.610 --> 0:05:25.350 that Kyle Shanahan would pick on back in the day, 0:05:25.470 --> 0:05:27.940 but he played pretty well in the divisional round and 0:05:27.950 --> 0:05:30.140 led them to a Superbowl. So maybe that's a move 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.460 you make, but again, like that's a younger player and 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.460 that's going to cause you or cost you draft picks. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.060 So again, my, my sites are still on Khalil Mack again, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.479 like it's where you're getting younger guys back in the secondary. 0:05:41.500 --> 0:05:44.340 And also Raheem Morris has made that unit really improved 0:05:44.380 --> 0:05:46.820 this year. So I want to go all out for that. 0:05:47.300 --> 0:05:48.680 And again, I don't think that's even going all out 0:05:48.700 --> 0:05:51.090 to get a Tariq Wollin, but I don't know if 0:05:51.110 --> 0:05:52.590 the Eagles want to do that at this point. They 0:05:52.630 --> 0:05:53.910 may still think that they're in the mix for the 0:05:53.950 --> 0:05:56.979 NFC East because it's so bad right now. The secondary 0:05:57.020 --> 0:05:59.200 will be better if you go get Khalil Mack, and 0:05:59.220 --> 0:06:01.339 then you get so many veterans on that defensive line. 0:06:01.380 --> 0:06:04.140 So that could make sense, and I'm glad that he's 0:06:04.180 --> 0:06:07.500 acknowledging that Garrett Wilson's pie in the sky, Brian Thomas Jr. 0:06:07.500 --> 0:06:08.880 's pie in the sky. I don't think the Niners 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.460 are doing that. 0:06:09.500 --> 0:06:12.560 Why is everybody so enamored with Brian Thomas Jr.? Because 0:06:12.580 --> 0:06:15.650 he shows promise, and Jacksonville's not using him. He's got 0:06:15.730 --> 0:06:16.710 nine catches this year. 0:06:17.290 --> 0:06:19.529 But he is a young and upcoming wide receiver. 0:06:19.630 --> 0:06:20.330 He's in his third year. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:21.700 This is his third year, yes. 0:06:22.980 --> 0:06:26.779 People are pretty pissed at Cowling and Watkins in year two. 0:06:27.180 --> 0:06:30.140 Yeah, but this guy's a first-round talent, and he did 0:06:30.180 --> 0:06:32.720 have success, I think, his rookie season, and he hasn't 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:33.820 had success with Liam Cohen. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.140 That's more of a concern. I'm like, dude, he's disappeared 0:06:36.220 --> 0:06:37.260 since he was pretty good his first year. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.810 Well, it may just be where he doesn't fit the scheme. 0:06:39.050 --> 0:06:40.500 He had a lot of drops last year, too. 0:06:40.550 --> 0:06:40.870 He did. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.590 He did. And I think that maybe it works for 0:06:42.610 --> 0:06:45.450 Kyle Shanahan. You never know. But also, Kyle's extremely hard 0:06:45.470 --> 0:06:48.550 on wide receivers. Again, I think he trusts veteran wide 0:06:48.589 --> 0:06:52.470 receivers during the season because he knows guys can handle it. Again, 0:06:52.770 --> 0:06:55.849 we'll see what DeSean's trembling. I think Kyle had confidence 0:06:55.890 --> 0:06:58.089 in him coming into the season, then he got hurt. 0:06:58.410 --> 0:07:00.230 We'll see about now when he comes back, and it 0:07:00.270 --> 0:07:03.270 may be where he's different than Jacob Cowan or Jordan Watkins, 0:07:03.330 --> 0:07:06.270 the guys have passed. But we'll see if DeSean's trembling 0:07:06.300 --> 0:07:08.240 gets on the field because now he's behind the eight ball. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.800 But I don't think Kyle sees the need for wide 0:07:10.820 --> 0:07:12.020 receivers like the fan base does. 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.420 No, I don't think so either. And again, when were 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.540 we complaining about the receiving core and its production prior 0:07:17.580 --> 0:07:19.060 to the second half against Washington? 0:07:19.620 --> 0:07:19.800 Right. 0:07:20.460 --> 0:07:21.060 And what changed? 0:07:21.570 --> 0:07:22.990 Well, what changes Mike Evans going? 0:07:23.050 --> 0:07:24.610 And what are they telling us is going to happen 0:07:24.650 --> 0:07:25.210 after the bye? 0:07:25.650 --> 0:07:26.330 Yeah. 0:07:26.370 --> 0:07:27.050 That's what I'm like. 0:07:27.270 --> 0:07:28.850 That Achilles injury could linger. 0:07:28.950 --> 0:07:31.180 I get it. He's not the only one. Your top 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.580 four on the depth chart will be healthy. They're expecting 0:07:35.620 --> 0:07:36.460 shortly after the bye. 0:07:36.700 --> 0:07:36.820 Right. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.160 And I'm not saying everything's fine. I am saying, like, 0:07:40.500 --> 0:07:42.560 if Mike Evans goes down anyway, they got problems. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:42.930 Right. 0:07:42.940 --> 0:07:45.050 You're not going to trade for Garrett Wilson in case 0:07:45.090 --> 0:07:48.770 Mike Evans goes down. Who has done that? Who's traded 0:07:48.790 --> 0:07:51.300 for a receiver like that? Who's traded for a number 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.400 one receiver and then won the Super Bowl because of 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.020 that receiver? 0:07:55.580 --> 0:07:56.260 During the season? 0:07:56.580 --> 0:07:57.260 In season? 0:07:57.580 --> 0:08:00.260 Like, I can't even... When does that happen? I don't 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:01.540 like paying receivers, man. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.300 No, I hear you on that. I'm trying to think. 0:08:03.340 --> 0:08:04.810 I'm trying to think of when a wide receiver move 0:08:04.820 --> 0:08:05.530 was made like that. 0:08:05.550 --> 0:08:08.550 Like, A.J. Brown was an off-season trade, right? 0:08:08.570 --> 0:08:10.010 That was draft day. That was draft day. 0:08:10.030 --> 0:08:12.770 Yeah, biggest wide receiver in-season trade that made an impact 0:08:12.830 --> 0:08:13.450 on a team like that? 0:08:13.490 --> 0:08:13.590 Like. 0:08:13.940 --> 0:08:16.730 Do people think that's the move that would change the Niners' fortunes? Like, 0:08:16.830 --> 0:08:19.890 it would make every team better, of course. But is 0:08:19.930 --> 0:08:20.910 that your biggest need? 0:08:21.810 --> 0:08:21.990 No. 0:08:22.110 --> 0:08:23.250 I need a pass rusher, man. 0:08:23.390 --> 0:08:24.910 Like, even a couple years ago, I remember the Chiefs 0:08:24.930 --> 0:08:26.730 traded for DeAndre Hopkins during the season. 0:08:26.750 --> 0:08:27.270 Didn't do anything. 0:08:27.330 --> 0:08:28.370 He was old and slow. 0:08:28.390 --> 0:08:28.590 Yeah. 0:08:28.850 --> 0:08:30.330 By the way, you want to know a team that 0:08:30.350 --> 0:08:32.630 might go try to get Gary Wilson? That's a team 0:08:32.730 --> 0:08:35.170 that might try to get Gary Wilson. Oh, the Chiefs? 0:08:35.210 --> 0:08:37.030 I think the Chiefs were probably... I don't think Gary 0:08:37.050 --> 0:08:37.750 Wilson's getting dealt. 0:08:38.090 --> 0:08:39.490 I don't either, but they're a team that that would 0:08:39.510 --> 0:08:40.840 be a fit for. I think they're probably calling on 0:08:40.860 --> 0:08:43.720 Nico Collins, too. I don't think the Texans are going 0:08:43.740 --> 0:08:45.900 to sell. I don't either, but I think these are two. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.599 I think the Chiefs are in the market for a 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.260 top-end receiver. I think the Chiefs are willing to make 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.040 a move for a Brian Thomas Jr. They've done it 0:08:51.059 --> 0:08:54.120 in the past. Remember Kadarius Toney with the Giants? They 0:08:54.140 --> 0:08:54.840 made a move for him. 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.820 They're willing to make other moves for guys that don't 0:08:57.860 --> 0:08:58.240 pan out. 0:08:58.260 --> 0:08:59.540 That's the kind of Chiefs fans are going to be 0:08:59.559 --> 0:08:59.960 happy about. 0:08:59.980 --> 0:09:02.020 I know, but that was a first-round talent, a wide 0:09:02.059 --> 0:09:03.880 receiver that didn't pan out. They're willing to give second 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.179 tries with other wide receivers. I wouldn't be surprised if 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.280 the Chiefs slam Brian Thomas Jr., but then again— If 0:09:08.300 --> 0:09:10.070 you're the Jags, why the hell would you send me 0:09:10.110 --> 0:09:10.530 the Chiefs? 0:09:10.550 --> 0:09:13.069 You're not doing that in division. That's what I'm saying. 0:09:13.309 --> 0:09:17.010 I think the Chiefs are calling on, well, different. Texans 0:09:17.050 --> 0:09:18.240 are out of it. I don't think they'd give them 0:09:18.260 --> 0:09:18.819 to the Chiefs either. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.100 Do you think the Texans are really out of it? 0:09:20.420 --> 0:09:20.750 Kind of. 0:09:21.140 --> 0:09:22.800 I don't think so. Their win total's not there. 0:09:23.540 --> 0:09:25.820 They're a different two and five. And I know that 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.500 sounds crazy, but they got a lot of talent on 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:27.839 that team. 0:09:28.140 --> 0:09:29.780 It's really weird. Best two and five team ever. 0:09:29.980 --> 0:09:30.750 Now, here's one for you. 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:31.910 Next to my fantasy team right now. 0:09:31.940 --> 0:09:33.580 So we're talking about other moves that could be out 0:09:33.620 --> 0:09:35.219 there where you're like, oh, do the Niners need to 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.540 make even more moves? What if the Rams get like 0:09:37.580 --> 0:09:39.600 a Jerry Judy? Where you're seeing right now, they don't 0:09:39.620 --> 0:09:41.490 have a lot of depth at wide receiver. They're getting 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:42.350 by with tight ends. 0:09:42.710 --> 0:09:44.710 Honestly, I don't care if the Rams get Jerry Judy. 0:09:45.550 --> 0:09:47.449 He's an explosive guy at times. 0:09:47.470 --> 0:09:49.190 That's not one that worries me. That's not one that 0:09:49.250 --> 0:09:51.429 changes their fortunes for me. I'm like, okay, can we 0:09:51.510 --> 0:09:54.800 still go just get Puka? If Jerry Judy's going to 0:09:54.820 --> 0:09:55.640 beat him, then he's going. 0:09:55.540 --> 0:09:58.929 To beat him. He's not the toughest wide receiver out there. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.900 If the Niners have Khalil Mack, that doesn't faze me 0:10:00.940 --> 0:10:02.060 at all. 0:10:02.140 --> 0:10:04.800 And that's why I think that's pretty much the chess 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.530 piece where you're like, okay, now the Rams and Seahawks 0:10:07.550 --> 0:10:08.750 are going to have to compete with us because you 0:10:08.770 --> 0:10:10.430 could get Quinn and Nelson. You could go out and 0:10:10.450 --> 0:10:14.360 get Miles Garrett. We went out and got Two veterans 0:10:14.380 --> 0:10:16.680 that we trust in Khalil Mack and DeForest Buckner. 0:10:16.940 --> 0:10:19.000 That's a Super Bowl caliber move. 808 KMBR is the 0:10:19.020 --> 0:10:20.500 number to call and text. We'll get into more of 0:10:20.540 --> 0:10:22.260 this discussion, but Andrew Luck's going to join us in 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.100 about 15 minutes for his weekly conversation. Guy Haberman at 450. 0:10:25.100 --> 0:10:28.120 Did we connect with Krug? Is Kruger going to join us? 0:10:28.470 --> 0:10:29.930 We're excited if we can try to get Krug on, 0:10:29.970 --> 0:10:34.380 I think, today to break down this. trade he's on 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:35.770 at six tonight we'll see if we can catch up 0:10:35.809 --> 0:10:37.689 with him though all right before the uh before he 0:10:37.710 --> 0:10:40.110 starts niners nightly a little preview at six o'clock yeah 0:10:40.130 --> 0:10:41.689 because i mean normally we get him on a friday 0:10:41.710 --> 0:10:43.250 to talk about the upcoming game but there's no game 0:10:43.290 --> 0:10:45.070 this week so let's maybe move him up and get 0:10:45.110 --> 0:10:47.170 crew again to talk some talk it's a buck i 0:10:47.190 --> 0:10:49.450 like talking about but i also want gary wilson uh 0:10:49.510 --> 0:10:51.949 by the way we are giving away yet again i 0:10:51.950 --> 0:10:53.670 didn't tell you because the breaking news we're giving away 0:10:53.690 --> 0:10:57.050 a 50 pizza gift card to tony's pizza napolitana in 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.260 north beach uh listen for the cue to call between 0:10:59.300 --> 0:11:01.640 now and six o'clock when you hear it be caller 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:06.210 10 to the studio 415-896-KNBR, and you'll win a $ 50 0:11:06.170 --> 0:11:09.490 gift card to Tony's Pizza. Napolitano Prize is furnished by 0:11:09.530 --> 0:11:13.220 Tony's Pizza. You can find the rules at thesportsleader.com. We 0:11:13.260 --> 0:11:15.000 will take a quick break. When we come on back, 0:11:15.059 --> 0:11:19.079 more on the trade by the 49ers for DeForest Buckner, 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.730 and then we'll talk to Andrew Luck coming up at 3.50. 0:11:21.730 --> 0:11:25.069 Dirty work Tuesday. Niners are getting tough on these sports leaders. 0:11:26.809 --> 0:11:30.059 It sounds like our killer is writing his own version 0:11:30.100 --> 0:11:32.819 of Stab 8, but doing it as a requel. 0:11:33.660 --> 0:11:34.059 Witches. 0:11:35.780 --> 0:11:38.260 See, you can't just reboot a franchise from scratch anymore. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.290 The fans won't stand for it. Black Christmas, Child's Play, Flatliners, 0:11:42.590 --> 0:11:44.930 that doesn't work. But you can't just do a straight 0:11:44.990 --> 0:11:48.870 sequel either. You gotta build something new. But not too new, 0:11:49.050 --> 0:11:51.700 or the internet goes bug-f***ing nuts. It's gotta be part 0:11:51.740 --> 0:11:54.700 of an ongoing storyline, even if the story shouldn't have 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.929 been ongoing in the first place. New main characters, yes, 0:11:58.250 --> 0:12:02.490 but supported by and related to legacy characters. Not quite 0:12:02.510 --> 0:12:06.209 a reboot, not quite a sequel, like the new Halloween, Saw, Terminator, 0:12:06.270 --> 0:12:09.010 Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters, even Star Wars. 0:12:09.030 --> 0:12:12.640 It always, always goes back to the original. 0:12:13.429 --> 0:12:17.610 Now, back to Dirty Work. Adam Copeland and Derek Papa 0:12:18.250 --> 0:12:24.060 on KMBR 104.5 at 680 AM. The Sports Leader. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.900 Dirty Work on a Tuesday. Is that from Scream? 0:12:25.940 --> 0:12:26.860 Hold on, hold on, hold on. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.920 Scream 4? 5? 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.330 Damn it. Hold on, you put a clip from Scream 0:12:32.330 --> 0:12:33.610 5 as a rejoin? 0:12:33.750 --> 0:12:35.650 No, because it goes with the flow of reboots. 0:12:36.470 --> 0:12:40.030 Yeah, you mentioned reboots. Yeah, I did. I specifically mentioned Scrubs, 0:12:40.070 --> 0:12:42.580 but you didn't play any Dr. Cox for me. 0:12:42.630 --> 0:12:43.020 No, come on. 0:12:43.030 --> 0:12:44.450 You didn't play any J.D. 0:12:44.510 --> 0:12:45.970 If you leave it up at Danny's hands, he's going 0:12:45.990 --> 0:12:47.429 to play a Scream Drop when it comes to reboots. 0:12:47.470 --> 0:12:50.230 How's your movie watch? For those who don't know, Danny's 0:12:50.270 --> 0:12:52.589 watching 31 horror movies in 31 nights. He's got a 0:12:52.610 --> 0:12:54.609 hell of a one plan tonight, my friend. In the 0:12:54.630 --> 0:12:56.750 month of October, what do you have planned tonight, Danny? 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.420 I got to do two because I missed yesterday. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.700 Tales from the Hood and Infinity Pool. 0:13:03.980 --> 0:13:05.420 Now, Tales from the Hood, that's a classic. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.250 That's one that Derek's actually heard of. Oh, yeah. You've 0:13:08.270 --> 0:13:08.630 seen that? 0:13:08.730 --> 0:13:09.990 I've seen it at Blockbuster all the time. 0:13:10.010 --> 0:13:11.309 So you haven't seen it? 0:13:11.429 --> 0:13:12.189 I haven't seen the movie. 0:13:12.510 --> 0:13:13.750 That's a classic, man. 0:13:13.790 --> 0:13:14.329 Yeah, come on. 0:13:14.340 --> 0:13:16.080 Cross your arms like you're proud of him for watching 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:16.980 a movie you've never seen. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.740 Yeah, Tales from the Hood. I think David Alan Greer's 0:13:19.780 --> 0:13:19.990 in it. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.570 So you think it's a classic? It's a classic. Come 0:13:22.660 --> 0:13:23.590 on now. So what do you mean he's got an 0:13:23.620 --> 0:13:25.510 adventure in it? Why do you say that? Because you 0:13:25.530 --> 0:13:27.130 said this to me yesterday. You're like, oh, Danny's got 0:13:27.150 --> 0:13:29.170 an adventure. He'll save it for the year. What was 0:13:29.190 --> 0:13:30.750 that about? Just telling me that he's watching Tales from 0:13:30.770 --> 0:13:30.930 the Hood? 0:13:30.950 --> 0:13:31.489 Tales from the Hood. 0:13:31.690 --> 0:13:33.630 He has a lot of buildup for no payoff for 0:13:33.670 --> 0:13:34.610 a movie you haven't even seen. 0:13:34.790 --> 0:13:36.730 No, but like, as far as the movies he's watched, 0:13:36.750 --> 0:13:37.950 Tales from the Hood, I'm intrigued. 0:13:39.110 --> 0:13:39.310 Okay. 0:13:39.330 --> 0:13:42.330 We'll see you tomorrow. All right. Your buddy added this 0:13:42.350 --> 0:13:44.370 to a list for you, Dan? Yeah, this was a 0:13:44.410 --> 0:13:47.660 recommendation from a buddy. All right. Well, I guess we'll 0:13:47.740 --> 0:13:48.580 find out more tomorrow. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:49.400 There's Tales from the Hood. 0:13:49.420 --> 0:13:50.900 You're going to watch it tonight? Because you better stop 0:13:50.940 --> 0:13:53.099 talking about it. You better stop acting like there's something 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:53.250 to say. 0:13:53.260 --> 0:13:55.300 I think also Leprechaun goes to the hood. Remember Leprechaun 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.660 from back in the day? I'm the Leprechaun. 0:13:57.700 --> 0:13:58.880 You mean the movie Leprechaun? 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.440 Yeah, but he also goes to the hood. 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.469 I don't know about it. I've never seen any of 0:14:03.490 --> 0:14:05.330 those movies. There's like 20 Leprechaun movies. 0:14:05.490 --> 0:14:05.850 Yeah, I know. 0:14:05.950 --> 0:14:07.530 Jennifer Aniston shows up in one of them too. 0:14:07.650 --> 0:14:09.390 Oh yeah, when she was young. She's like in the original. 0:14:09.730 --> 0:14:12.859 Is it the first one she's in, Dan? Yep, Leprechaun 1. 0:14:12.860 --> 0:14:14.420 Right before Friends. 0:14:14.660 --> 0:14:24.250 Right before Friends. Right before. Lost her into stardom. 0:14:24.270 --> 0:14:24.890 808-KMBR-415. 0:14:24.910 --> 0:14:27.310 808-567 is the number to call and the number to 0:14:27.350 --> 0:14:28.790 text if you want to get involved in any of 0:14:28.810 --> 0:14:31.350 the DeForest Buckner conversation. And of course you do. Let's 0:14:31.370 --> 0:14:35.250 go to Luigi. He's in Sacramento. What's up, Luigi? You're 0:14:35.270 --> 0:14:35.950 on the sports league. 0:14:35.990 --> 0:14:36.790 Hey, guys. How are you doing? 0:14:36.970 --> 0:14:37.650 It's a bigger move. 0:14:38.990 --> 0:14:40.050 It is a bigger move, but. 0:14:40.580 --> 0:14:41.200 I had a laugh. 0:14:41.300 --> 0:14:42.660 Shout out to you guys on social. 0:14:42.780 --> 0:14:44.440 I was watching you guys on Twitch a little earlier 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.620 when you guys first came on and coach, you said 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.870 to Papa, uh, you know, cover your ears about Cleo Mack. Well, Papa, 0:14:50.890 --> 0:14:52.370 you gotta cover your ears about what I'm going to 0:14:52.390 --> 0:14:54.990 talk about because I know the Raiders play the Niners 0:14:55.030 --> 0:14:56.570 coming up on, you know, on the eighth. 0:14:56.790 --> 0:14:57.450 What do you say? 0:14:57.730 --> 0:15:00.590 Uh, the trade deadline happens to be two days later 0:15:00.610 --> 0:15:04.420 and there's no way, uh, between now and the eighth that, uh, 0:15:04.500 --> 0:15:07.979 Mark Davis would move number 98. No, but I would 0:15:08.020 --> 0:15:12.960 just offer this, um, Kyle, you guys talked about what 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.940 they want versus what the fans want. Kyle always goes 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:22.680 after pass rushers aggressively. And that's the position of need. 0:15:23.210 --> 0:15:27.290 And I don't think Kyle, I'm sorry, excuse me, Khalil 0:15:27.330 --> 0:15:31.190 Mack is a needle mover for him. Getting Max Crosby 0:15:31.210 --> 0:15:35.770 to the 49ers would be akin to the 94 Niners 0:15:36.130 --> 0:15:39.880 getting Deion Sanders. And I'll leave it there. 0:15:40.650 --> 0:15:42.710 No, I agree with you, Luigi, my Italian brother, but 0:15:42.730 --> 0:15:44.910 I would also say that I don't think the Raiders 0:15:44.930 --> 0:15:47.150 are willing to move Max Crosby at this point. And 0:15:47.170 --> 0:15:49.370 I know, like, they've lost four in a row, but 0:15:49.410 --> 0:15:51.710 it sounds like he wants to stay there. Now, if 0:15:51.730 --> 0:15:53.600 they can get Max Crosby, by all means, go for him. 0:15:53.610 --> 0:15:55.970 And I was joking earlier, I think Khalil Mack's going 0:15:55.990 --> 0:15:57.530 to get dealt, and I wouldn't be the least bit 0:15:57.550 --> 0:16:01.140 surprised if he goes to the 49ers. But Max Crosby, 0:16:01.260 --> 0:16:03.240 I mean, that's a game-changer. If you're going to take 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.280 on his salary along with, you know, getting DeForest Buckner 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.230 and Nick Bosa on that defensive line, Osa Digizua, That 0:16:09.250 --> 0:16:11.870 would be massive. I just don't see that one happening. But, yes, 0:16:11.910 --> 0:16:12.910 that would be a big-time move. 0:16:13.190 --> 0:16:13.530 Yeah. 0:16:13.590 --> 0:16:15.090 I mean, that's the one where you're like, that's where 0:16:15.110 --> 0:16:17.990 you break the bank. That's the Christian McCaffrey-level move, the 0:16:18.010 --> 0:16:20.330 Miles Garrett-level move, the Trent Williams-level move. 0:16:20.350 --> 0:16:21.250 That's an F them picks move. 0:16:21.270 --> 0:16:22.810 You're getting a player who's like a top 10 or 0:16:22.810 --> 0:16:27.210 15 player in the NFL, right? Yes. You know what 0:16:27.250 --> 0:16:29.830 you're getting, and you're willing to give up that draft 0:16:29.850 --> 0:16:31.510 capital because no matter what you pick in the next 0:16:31.570 --> 0:16:33.570 couple of years, it may not give you the value 0:16:33.610 --> 0:16:35.410 of what this team is going to get. Here's the 0:16:35.430 --> 0:16:37.850 other thing, too, is getting a player like that and 0:16:37.870 --> 0:16:40.370 that you're committed to, who is not in the– I mean, 0:16:40.430 --> 0:16:42.050 I don't know. I don't think Crosby's still in the prime, 0:16:42.090 --> 0:16:42.810 prime of his career. 0:16:42.930 --> 0:16:43.990 Only two sacks this season. 0:16:44.050 --> 0:16:45.900 Krug would say the super prime, which I'm a fan of. 0:16:45.930 --> 0:16:47.870 He says Brock's in his super prime right now. He's 0:16:47.890 --> 0:16:48.590 still on the ascent. 0:16:48.870 --> 0:16:51.100 You're seeing a little decline in Max Crosby right now. 0:16:51.170 --> 0:16:51.530 Right. 0:16:51.700 --> 0:16:53.560 Age is part of it. I'm just saying, you know, 0:16:53.780 --> 0:16:55.940 it's sort of like the Warriors. Like, after these two years, 0:16:56.020 --> 0:16:58.040 this year and next year, where do you want your 0:16:58.060 --> 0:16:59.940 money to be committed? Like, you know it's at Brock Purdy, 0:16:59.960 --> 0:17:01.780 but there's going to be a lot of guys you're 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:02.520 going to have to replace. 0:17:02.740 --> 0:17:02.860 Right. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.679 So give it up, you know, three picks like that. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.440 would be big in two years. That would be a 0:17:07.460 --> 0:17:07.879 big factor. 0:17:08.180 --> 0:17:10.010 Well, with the way he's played this season, I don't 0:17:10.050 --> 0:17:11.490 know if it would cost you two first-round picks. 0:17:11.550 --> 0:17:13.510 Yeah, I don't think so either. And I also think 0:17:13.550 --> 0:17:14.910 it would cost the Niners more than it would cost 0:17:15.130 --> 0:17:16.970 anybody else. Oh, God, yeah. I still think Mark Davis 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:17.959 is like, I'm not doing that. 0:17:17.980 --> 0:17:19.460 I don't think they're doing it regardless. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.659 I'm not trading him to... I'm not going to get 0:17:21.700 --> 0:17:23.480 haunted by my dad for trading him to the Niners. 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.000 You know what I mean? I honestly, are you kidding me? 0:17:27.260 --> 0:17:29.020 You see what you did? They had to come back now. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.460 They were willing to make that trade with the Baltimore Ravens. 0:17:31.500 --> 0:17:34.609 Cause it was two first round picks and they got 0:17:34.670 --> 0:17:38.050 Max Crosby's blessing. This, it sounds like he's like, he's 0:17:38.090 --> 0:17:39.470 like hooked on, on Raiders now. 0:17:39.510 --> 0:17:40.050 Yeah, he is. 0:17:40.170 --> 0:17:42.930 And he sees potential, but like they're, they're starting to, 0:17:42.990 --> 0:17:44.800 you know, free fall here a little bit. And they're 0:17:44.820 --> 0:17:46.680 talking about friend of Mendoza. He's not starting this week. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.020 So it probably wouldn't make sense for them to move 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.590 off of him. I don't think they're going to do it. 0:17:50.859 --> 0:17:53.700 Let's go to a Kareem in Vallejo. DeForest Buckner back 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.750 to the 49ers. Kareem, where are they going next? I 0:17:56.770 --> 0:17:59.090 got to say it's pass rush. I wouldn't mind a corner, 0:17:59.130 --> 0:18:01.170 but it feels to me like because John Lynch made 0:18:01.210 --> 0:18:03.660 this move right now, he may be active soon. What 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:04.260 do you got Kareem? 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.760 Yeah, definitely, man. Thanks for taking the call, fellas. Yeah, 0:18:07.780 --> 0:18:11.830 I think Lynch, I mean, so here's the thing. The Niners, 0:18:12.630 --> 0:18:15.669 I think people were prisoners of the moment after the 0:18:15.710 --> 0:18:18.390 Atlanta loss. Oh, the world was coming to an end 0:18:18.470 --> 0:18:20.230 and the Niners lost. Look, they wasn't going to win 0:18:20.970 --> 0:18:23.639 All 17 games. They're going to have a hookup along 0:18:23.660 --> 0:18:27.120 the way. The first one came against Atlanta. So, you know, 0:18:27.140 --> 0:18:30.340 if you went into the season thinking about would they 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.440 beat the Rams and Seattle in the first two games, 0:18:33.460 --> 0:18:35.240 you'd probably say they get a split. They won both 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.080 of those games. So now that we have loss, right, 0:18:38.180 --> 0:18:42.580 against Atlanta, Let's go and get Buckner, who's, you know, 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.899 a familiar face, been on the team before. We definitely 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:48.980 need him because we couldn't get no pressure on Pinnock. 0:18:49.340 --> 0:18:51.280 And then, yeah, if you can't go get Khalil Mack, 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.020 you go get him because here's the thing. You have 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:56.160 to get off the field on third downs. You have 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.830 to get extra possessions. And we gave those away last 0:18:59.530 --> 0:19:02.129 Sunday against Atlanta. We lost a possession. I mean, it 0:19:02.150 --> 0:19:04.389 turned over about a 4-0. We can't do that and 0:19:04.410 --> 0:19:06.869 expect to win a game. So moving forward, you have 0:19:06.910 --> 0:19:10.179 to be able to– acquire guys on defense that's going 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.780 to be able to be game changers. Now, as far 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:14.990 as the offense, I think we're fine. We're going to 0:19:15.030 --> 0:19:18.169 get guys coming back. Bolton should be back as far as, 0:19:18.310 --> 0:19:21.490 you know, defense. So adding Buckner back in the middle 0:19:21.830 --> 0:19:24.320 is something that we needed. And I think it's not 0:19:24.340 --> 0:19:27.180 going to be fine, man. People just were so, like, 0:19:27.700 --> 0:19:30.160 like everything came to an end after losing to atlanta 0:19:30.460 --> 0:19:33.100 atlanta got a there was a formidable foe and they 0:19:33.140 --> 0:19:36.119 had some you know uh blue chip players that you 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.109 know did what they're supposed to do at home and 0:19:38.140 --> 0:19:40.210 it was a time change a lot of these factors 0:19:40.290 --> 0:19:42.669 in that loss but now it's going to be fine 0:19:42.710 --> 0:19:45.150 i'm glad buckner is back If we could get Khalil 0:19:45.190 --> 0:19:49.220 Mack and probably, you know, another corner or two because, yeah, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.760 Jones or James and that other kid, man, Garbethel. And 0:19:53.780 --> 0:19:56.680 when I say Garbethel, that's another word for garbage. So 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.140 get them off the field. And, you know, yeah, yeah, 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.520 Garbethel means garbage. Get them off the field and try 0:20:02.540 --> 0:20:04.740 to get somebody that can help that secondary. And I 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.460 appreciate the time, fellas. Blessings, man. Bang, bang. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:08.270 Niner gang. 0:20:08.310 --> 0:20:11.590 There you go, Kareem. There you go. Gar Bethel, he said. 0:20:11.650 --> 0:20:13.869 Yeah, I was like, I can't contextually figure out what 0:20:13.890 --> 0:20:14.470 that could be. 0:20:14.510 --> 0:20:15.030 Either way. 0:20:15.130 --> 0:20:20.300 I got you, Kareem. Yeah, look, I think everybody's got 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.639 like one thought about who they think is number one. 0:20:22.700 --> 0:20:24.520 Nobody would be upset if they got a pass rusher. 0:20:24.540 --> 0:20:26.920 They want a pass rusher. Some people want a wide 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.109 receiver and think that they need the wide receiver. I 0:20:29.130 --> 0:20:30.930 think people are just getting distracted by the shiny toy 0:20:30.950 --> 0:20:33.070 and going, there's a a good wide receiver out there. 0:20:33.109 --> 0:20:34.409 Go get him. And I'm like, dude, you got a 0:20:34.470 --> 0:20:36.610 really good hall of fame receiver on your team right now. 0:20:36.690 --> 0:20:37.690 They're not getting another wide receiver. 0:20:37.710 --> 0:20:39.090 He's going to be back. I just, I really don't 0:20:39.130 --> 0:20:39.490 see that happening. 0:20:39.510 --> 0:20:41.149 Khalil Mack's on the table, but also I know we're 0:20:41.170 --> 0:20:43.470 getting Andrew Luck. I want to hear from Pat H 0:20:43.750 --> 0:20:45.930 who said this weeks ago, we need to force Buckner 0:20:45.970 --> 0:20:48.470 to make things right again. Pat H, wherever you're at, 0:20:48.820 --> 0:20:50.760 call in. Also Edgar, come on now. 0:20:51.380 --> 0:20:53.840 Come on now. I think, again, Edgar always calls later 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:55.300 in the show. He's always like four o'clock hour. 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:56.140 I didn't hear him yesterday. 0:20:56.820 --> 0:20:57.919 I don't think he called yesterday. 0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:58.199 Did he? 0:20:58.500 --> 0:20:59.220 No, that's what I'm saying. 0:20:59.520 --> 0:20:59.859 Yeah. 0:21:00.140 --> 0:21:01.300 He didn't call. Interesting. 0:21:01.770 --> 0:21:02.679 Edgar, where you at? 0:21:02.750 --> 0:21:04.230 Come on now. Is it because you're calling him out 0:21:04.270 --> 0:21:06.280 because he said they were going to be undefeated? No, no, no. 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:07.719 I want to hear what he has to say about 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.300 the loss, but also I want to hear what he 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:11.560 has to say about DeForest Buckner coming back. 0:21:11.580 --> 0:21:12.600 How did you hear that, Danny? Because I heard it 0:21:12.619 --> 0:21:15.320 like Derek was ready to take a victory lap on Edgar, 0:21:15.340 --> 0:21:17.290 and I don't know how I feel about that. Yeah, 0:21:17.310 --> 0:21:18.730 it sounded like you were doing that, Derek. Yeah, it 0:21:18.750 --> 0:21:20.450 sounded like you were kind of puffing your chest out. 0:21:20.470 --> 0:21:23.030 Come on now. You like talking to him? Come on. 0:21:23.150 --> 0:21:24.470 Yeah, dude. Maybe I was. 0:21:24.609 --> 0:21:26.920 All right, dude, Edgar. Boy's calling you out. 0:21:27.020 --> 0:21:28.180 No, but I want you to say about Buckner. 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:28.619 We got to take. 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:28.899 Yeah, sure. 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:29.159 You do. 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.139 We got to take a quick. Yeah, but I know 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:31.689 what he's going to say. 0:21:31.700 --> 0:21:32.080 I do like it. 0:21:32.140 --> 0:21:34.240 Hey, come on now. We got Buck now. Come on now. 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.139 Falcons scheduled loss. 0:21:36.180 --> 0:21:36.900 It's nothing, man. 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:37.740 49ers. 0:21:37.770 --> 0:21:40.070 We'll get back into this because like I'm looking around 0:21:40.109 --> 0:21:42.370 football and I'm like, is there another team in the NFC? 0:21:42.410 --> 0:21:45.710 You'd rather be like it right now than the 49ers 0:21:45.750 --> 0:21:48.370 in terms of the position. They're in the schedule. They 0:21:48.410 --> 0:21:50.709 have left the bi-week. They have the ability. They have 0:21:50.750 --> 0:21:53.669 right now. Capital wise to go get something else. the 0:21:53.690 --> 0:21:55.670 potential health that they could get returned in the next 0:21:55.710 --> 0:21:57.629 few weeks. I mean, show me somebody who's in a 0:21:57.730 --> 0:22:00.609 better position than the 49ers right now in the NFC. 0:22:00.630 --> 0:22:02.810 We'll talk more about that after we catch up with 0:22:02.910 --> 0:22:05.030 Andrew Luck. He joins us each and every week. The 0:22:05.050 --> 0:22:07.780 general manager of Stanford football will pick his brain about 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.920 what's going on across the Stanford football landscape and some 0:22:10.940 --> 0:22:14.619 NFL as well.

Because they had a little comeback 0:24:03.460 --> 0:24:05.260 there in the fourth quarter. 14 points for them in 0:24:05.280 --> 0:24:06.919 the fourth. And you had to fight for that win 0:24:06.940 --> 0:24:08.899 and fend them off. What kind of a... What kind 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:10.720 of feeling is that for a team that struggled this year? 0:24:10.740 --> 0:24:12.419 But that was a hard-fought win on Friday. 0:24:13.340 --> 0:24:14.810 No, it was a good one. It was a league win. 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:18.950 And certainly not going to apologize for a win, you know? 0:24:19.090 --> 0:24:23.850 And stacking wins back-to-back, good, right? And we know there's 0:24:23.890 --> 0:24:25.810 a challenge in front of us that we'll talk about 0:24:25.850 --> 0:24:29.240 in a sec. But I'm proud of the team. We 0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:33.600 started fast, right? Offense came out with some swagger. Defense 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.210 came out with some swagger. And and we got up, 0:24:36.380 --> 0:24:38.310 we got up early on them. Now, now then they 0:24:38.869 --> 0:24:41.290 caught up back and then we sort of, we continue 0:24:41.310 --> 0:24:43.750 to re-engage and persist as we say in our program 0:24:43.790 --> 0:24:46.169 and built enough of a lead up. I know defense 0:24:46.190 --> 0:24:48.030 sort of left the end of the game, you know, 0:24:48.050 --> 0:24:49.850 wanting to keep them out of the end zone for that, 0:24:49.930 --> 0:24:52.800 for that last touchdown and really, you know, make it 0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:56.200 a no doubt type of game. But Jay Green recovered 0:24:56.220 --> 0:24:58.639 the onside kick, uh, and we got to get in 0:24:58.660 --> 0:25:02.220 the best formation in football victory, uh, and proud of 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:06.310 the guys. I think, uh, They're showing, look, they don't, man, 0:25:06.330 --> 0:25:07.889 they bring it every day in practice. It's part of 0:25:07.910 --> 0:25:09.490 why I love Tuesdays. I get to go out there 0:25:09.670 --> 0:25:13.169 and watch them and listen to pads hitting and, you know, 0:25:13.190 --> 0:25:16.080 these beautiful fall days in the Bay Area are perfect 0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:19.979 for football. But I'm proud of the guys because they 0:25:20.020 --> 0:25:23.700 just keep getting better and they keep getting better at football. 0:25:23.820 --> 0:25:25.690 And as my old coach Jim Harbaugh used to say, 0:25:25.750 --> 0:25:28.290 how do you get better at football? By playing football. 0:25:28.410 --> 0:25:30.270 So we keep practicing and playing football. 0:25:30.700 --> 0:25:33.770 And another great performance by Davis Warren for touchdown passes. 0:25:33.810 --> 0:25:35.630 But you could see in his best games this season, 0:25:35.990 --> 0:25:38.490 the passing attack opens up because of the great running 0:25:38.510 --> 0:25:40.830 by Micah Ford. So does it feel like this offense 0:25:40.869 --> 0:25:43.450 is forming into shape with Tevita's vision of a balance attack? 0:25:44.609 --> 0:25:47.980 Yeah, I thought we saw glimpses of that. I mean, look, 0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:51.040 the former quarterback in me can't help but watch the 0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:56.540 game through that prism. And so, one, yes, I thought 0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.830 Micah ran the ball well. Champ Hampton came in and 0:25:59.890 --> 0:26:02.740 gave us gave us a nice change of pace. Cedric 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.879 Irvin with some big plays, especially in the past game. 0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:09.000 And Davis, Davis, the command of the offense and his 0:26:09.060 --> 0:26:11.199 ability to access the whole field. Like, you know, our 0:26:11.220 --> 0:26:14.410 guys made some big plays. Caden High, Nico Brown, John 0:26:14.470 --> 0:26:16.770 Anthony Hall, you know, it was a team effort. And 0:26:17.410 --> 0:26:19.750 what I haven't gotten to yet is our O-line. I 0:26:19.770 --> 0:26:23.590 thought it was the most complete, consistent performance by our 0:26:23.810 --> 0:26:27.280 O-line all year. You know, they're finding some stability, some groove, 0:26:27.340 --> 0:26:31.020 and that, you know, that O-line's a fascinating unit, right? 0:26:31.300 --> 0:26:34.240 It's really how do five people play together, not how 0:26:34.270 --> 0:26:37.129 does one person play with the other four people. It 0:26:37.450 --> 0:26:40.609 truly is a unit of five, and, man, I felt 0:26:40.650 --> 0:26:43.230 them last game, and everybody was there that felt our 0:26:43.250 --> 0:26:44.730 O-line doing some really good stuff. 0:26:45.230 --> 0:26:47.649 Talking to Andrew Luck on the UMA guest line, Tevita 0:26:47.710 --> 0:26:50.909 isn't shy about going fourth down this season. Does the 0:26:50.950 --> 0:26:53.180 quarterback in you love to see the aggressive play calling 0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:54.400 when everything's working offensively? 0:26:55.520 --> 0:26:58.919 The quarterback in me loves to see how– with how 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:02.590 much fidelity we translate our game plan to practice and, 0:27:02.850 --> 0:27:05.550 and then, and then onto the game, you know, like, 0:27:05.869 --> 0:27:08.430 like I don't, you guys don't see our players surprised 0:27:08.450 --> 0:27:10.340 that we're going on fourth down. You know what I mean? 0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.879 Like I'll see, I'll see our own line, but out 0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.600 there on the minus 28 on fourth and eight thinking 0:27:15.619 --> 0:27:19.940 we're going for it, you know? And I love that. Right. 0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:24.240 I love that because there's a plan. And do we 0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:27.040 execute the plan all the time? Sorry, do we convert 0:27:27.100 --> 0:27:29.100 all the time? No, but I see us working to 0:27:29.220 --> 0:27:33.820 execute a plan with fidelity. And our coaches, Tavita, our coordinators, 0:27:33.859 --> 0:27:36.700 Chris Richard, Terry Heffner, Nate Katzer, do a great job 0:27:36.740 --> 0:27:39.669 of coming up with a plan to give ourselves the 0:27:39.710 --> 0:27:43.770 best chance to beat folks. And I love that we're 0:27:43.790 --> 0:27:46.270 doing our best to execute that and play fast. And 0:27:46.290 --> 0:27:48.010 I've seen us get better at that as the season's 0:27:48.030 --> 0:27:50.310 gone on. And that's And that's what gives us a chance, right? 0:27:50.670 --> 0:27:53.169 Especially as our goal is to go 1-0 this week. Yep. 0:27:53.710 --> 0:27:55.320 Andrew, I think I saw a note that said you 0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:57.139 guys had a 300-yard passer. I think I saw you 0:27:57.460 --> 0:28:01.899 had a 150-yard runner and 100 yards receiving by a 0:28:01.920 --> 0:28:04.350 player in the game. It's the first time Sanford's accomplished 0:28:04.369 --> 0:28:07.050 all three in the same game since 2015, which speaks 0:28:07.109 --> 0:28:10.050 to the quality of the performances for sure, but also 0:28:10.070 --> 0:28:11.670 from where you guys have come at the start of 0:28:11.710 --> 0:28:13.550 this year, I start to wonder, like, when you see 0:28:13.609 --> 0:28:15.730 things like that happen in a game, do you start 0:28:15.750 --> 0:28:17.590 to see glimpses of what the identity of a team 0:28:17.630 --> 0:28:19.050 can become before it gets there? 0:28:20.090 --> 0:28:23.280 Yeah, and I think, you know, I'm privileged enough to 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:25.490 get to watch our guys practice and work every day, 0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:30.220 and so I've felt and see a tenacity and an 0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:32.859 urgency from them, and, you know, getting to put that 0:28:32.900 --> 0:28:34.780 on the display is a bit of a reward for them, 0:28:34.840 --> 0:28:38.450 and so I think our performance our team, our players, 0:28:38.470 --> 0:28:41.210 our staff, you know, one, we're in a constant state 0:28:41.250 --> 0:28:44.459 of becoming, right? And I do see us more and 0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:51.400 more and more becoming and embodying the ruthless, intense, you know, violent, honestly, 0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.989 team that you have to be to give yourself a chance. And, 0:28:55.660 --> 0:28:58.900 and I know our guys are raring to just get 0:28:58.940 --> 0:29:00.810 out of meetings. They'll get down to the locker room, 0:29:00.830 --> 0:29:03.710 and they're going to bring it. It'll be a chippy, 0:29:04.130 --> 0:29:06.990 violent practice on a Tuesday, and that's fantastic. 0:29:07.010 --> 0:29:09.130 A couple more minutes with Andrew Luck on the UMA 0:29:09.150 --> 0:29:11.470 guest line. Three straight road games for you guys coming up. 0:29:12.030 --> 0:29:14.070 What needs to change for the team to overcome their 0:29:14.090 --> 0:29:15.070 struggles playing on the road? 0:29:16.150 --> 0:29:18.470 Yeah, I'm going to reframe it. We've got one road 0:29:18.510 --> 0:29:22.500 game coming up three times, so that's how we go. 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:25.540 That's a little bit, you know, John Lynch gave I'll 0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.920 never forget, John Lynch gave what we call wise words 0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:29.880 to our team as an honorary captain when I was 0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:34.210 a junior, maybe, 2010, to Stanford football. And he really helped. 0:29:34.550 --> 0:29:36.150 I'll never forget him talking about he didn't go out 0:29:36.170 --> 0:29:38.410 and play one game 68 times. He went and outplayed 0:29:38.530 --> 0:29:43.370 one play 68 times, you know? And so I love that. 0:29:43.430 --> 0:29:45.610 So reframing that. So what do we have to do? 0:29:46.190 --> 0:29:48.870 We got to trust our process. Honestly, we have to 0:29:48.910 --> 0:29:50.990 continue to build on what we've done all year and 0:29:51.060 --> 0:29:55.120 especially these last two weeks and block out noise, right? 0:29:55.230 --> 0:29:58.420 Whether it's literal noise from what will be a great 0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:02.750 atmosphere in Louisville or or the sort of metaphoric noise 0:30:02.810 --> 0:30:04.510 of the question that you'll ask. Hey, how do you 0:30:04.530 --> 0:30:06.290 get off the snide on the road? Like, we just 0:30:06.820 --> 0:30:09.300 got to go trust ourselves, trust our technique, our plan, 0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:12.020 and that'll give us a chance. And it's a quality 0:30:12.060 --> 0:30:15.160 Louisville team, man. Like, they're tough. A lot of speed. 0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:18.430 They've been winning football games down there. So really, really, 0:30:18.550 --> 0:30:20.690 really excited for the opportunity. 0:30:20.930 --> 0:30:22.570 Yeah, and for the first time, I mean, you know, 0:30:22.610 --> 0:30:24.270 you guys have played a game coming off a win. 0:30:24.290 --> 0:30:26.210 You're playing a game coming off a back-to-back win now. 0:30:26.250 --> 0:30:28.820 I mean, two's a streak, but an opportunity to really 0:30:28.860 --> 0:30:31.160 build something here. And as you mentioned, win another one 0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:33.960 here on the road. Again, 12-15 local time here over 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:37.280 on KMBR 1050 on Saturday, Stanford at Louisville. What are 0:30:37.300 --> 0:30:39.300 you expecting from them? What's that environment like down there? 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.710 You know, when I lived in Indianapolis, my wife and 0:30:43.750 --> 0:30:45.730 I and some friends would drive down to Louisville every 0:30:45.770 --> 0:30:48.070 now and then. to go to a concert or get 0:30:48.110 --> 0:30:50.820 a meal or, or do bourbon tasting, which had learned 0:30:50.860 --> 0:30:52.340 I'm not a bourbon guy. How much do you feel 0:30:52.410 --> 0:30:58.520 a guy wandering? So, but, uh, but, uh, I, what 0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:02.240 I think it's, you know, well coached team should be 0:31:02.260 --> 0:31:04.480 a great atmosphere. This is such a beautiful time of 0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:07.680 the year in the Midwest with the leaves changing. Uh, and, 0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:09.020 and I know it'll be a lot of energy. They're 0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.080 coming off a buy. So, you know, and they have 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:14.300 big goals. We got big goals. Um, and, and, and I've, 0:31:14.650 --> 0:31:16.910 I want to say it's our first ever game in 0:31:16.950 --> 0:31:21.330 the state of Kentucky for Stanford football. Wow, okay. That'll 0:31:21.350 --> 0:31:24.670 be a fun first, and the Cardinals versus the Cardinals 0:31:24.690 --> 0:31:26.120 will be confusing for some. 0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:30.600 Not all, but some. Andrew Luck joins us each and 0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.800 every week. Dude, have a great trip out there, man. 0:31:33.820 --> 0:31:35.920 Congratulations on the back-to-back wins. I'm looking to make it 0:31:35.940 --> 0:31:37.360 three in a row. We'll talk to you next week, Andrew. 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:38.640 Thanks, Andrew. 0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:40.660 I appreciate it. Y'all have a great rest of the day, 0:31:40.700 --> 0:31:41.250 and go Card. 0:31:41.450 --> 0:31:44.360 You too. Andrew Luck joins us. Each and every week. 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:46.520 And congratulations, Stanford, by the way. 0:31:46.540 --> 0:31:46.600 31-28. 0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:50.240 How about that note? They had 300 yards passing. They 0:31:50.260 --> 0:31:54.530 had 150 yards receiving by one player. Micah Ford went 0:31:54.550 --> 0:31:57.190 for 150 on the ground on 100 yards receiving through 0:31:57.210 --> 0:31:59.190 the air for Caden High. And they hadn't had all 0:31:59.230 --> 0:32:02.490 three of that combination since 2015. That's incredible. 0:32:02.890 --> 0:32:05.270 And they haven't won a road game, I believe, since 2024, 0:32:05.250 --> 0:32:09.500 but It's been a while, and I like Andrew's mentality 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:11.540 where it's just one game at a time here. So 0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:13.420 they've got to get a win. Let's see if they 0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:16.920 can still get in the postseason here with a college. Well, 0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.830 not postseason, obviously, but a bowl bid. 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:22.510 Four and four. They're in the mix. 0:32:22.650 --> 0:32:24.350 At this point. But the offense looks pretty damn good, 0:32:24.370 --> 0:32:26.390 and I've been impressed with Davis Warren. That game he 0:32:26.410 --> 0:32:29.310 had against Georgia Tech was unbelievable. And then this performance 0:32:29.350 --> 0:32:31.010 as well. So we'll see what they do against Louisville, 0:32:31.030 --> 0:32:33.540 who's capable of putting up some points. They almost beat 0:32:34.100 --> 0:32:36.080 Ole Miss week one of the college football season. 0:32:37.250 --> 0:32:39.810 Yeah, early this year. By the way, Stanford did upset 0:32:40.170 --> 0:32:42.100 Louisville a couple years ago at Stanford 2024. Well, there 0:32:42.130 --> 0:32:44.780 you go. I remember that game. Real quick, let's go 0:32:44.820 --> 0:32:46.320 back out to the, not real quick, but we can 0:32:46.340 --> 0:32:49.160 just go back out to the Golden State Lumber and 0:32:49.180 --> 0:32:53.620 Showroom Tech Center, 808-KMDR-415-808-5627. The topic of the day has 0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:57.270 obviously been the 49ers acquiring DeForest Buckner. Nice to be 0:32:57.290 --> 0:32:59.670 the big news for a good reason on a day 0:32:59.690 --> 0:33:02.170 like today after the Seahawks tried to steal the spotlight. 0:33:02.190 --> 0:33:03.990 You know what I mean? Seahawks get up this morning 0:33:04.030 --> 0:33:05.890 and John Schneider makes a trade for Quentin Nelson. 0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:07.180 That's not a bad move, though. 0:33:07.300 --> 0:33:07.840 It's a great move. 0:33:07.860 --> 0:33:09.280 I mean, I was expecting today to come on here 0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:11.480 and be like, I know the Niner fans would be upset. Like, 0:33:11.500 --> 0:33:14.430 you let him go inside the division? And my reaction is, 0:33:14.450 --> 0:33:17.650 the Niners are not going to get everybody. And Kyle 0:33:17.670 --> 0:33:19.230 and John have said this over and over again. They 0:33:19.250 --> 0:33:21.410 said it a lot in the offseason when Myles Garrett 0:33:21.450 --> 0:33:24.780 went to the Rams. You don't make moves just because 0:33:25.580 --> 0:33:26.780 another team in your division made a move. 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:27.220 Right, right. 0:33:27.460 --> 0:33:28.170 They don't operate that way. 0:33:28.180 --> 0:33:29.500 We talked about that with Miles Garrett. You're right. They 0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:32.240 made that, and we thought, oh, everyone would trade for Crosby. 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:34.620 And immediately, John Lynch sat down. He was at the end. 0:33:34.660 --> 0:33:35.830 He sat there with Kyle. He was like, dude, we're 0:33:35.850 --> 0:33:37.310 not just going to go trade for it. What does 0:33:37.330 --> 0:33:39.310 that change? I was like, maybe get a better line. 0:33:39.470 --> 0:33:42.290 That's how you counter Miles Garrett. They're not on the 0:33:42.310 --> 0:33:43.950 field at the same time as Max Crosby. 0:33:43.990 --> 0:33:45.670 And maybe the Quinton Nelson move would have looked great 0:33:45.690 --> 0:33:47.170 in the offseason. I don't think it was going to 0:33:47.190 --> 0:33:49.610 happen this time around when the offensive line has performed 0:33:49.690 --> 0:33:52.790 well this season. To my surprise, not giving up a 0:33:52.850 --> 0:33:54.580 sack until, what was it, week five or whatever it 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:56.660 was against the Seattle Seahawks? And then the last few weeks, 0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:59.060 they've given up some pressure. But still, that happens in 0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:01.160 the NFL. Quarterbacks are going to get sacked. It's just 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:04.570 the offensive line has played great, pass-blocking and run-blocking right now. 0:34:04.630 --> 0:34:05.870 So I don't think they needed to make a move 0:34:05.890 --> 0:34:08.270 for Quinn and Nelson. Is it unfortunate that he's in 0:34:08.310 --> 0:34:09.069 your division now? 0:34:09.510 --> 0:34:09.750 Yes. 0:34:09.910 --> 0:34:12.950 And do I think the Seahawks really needed Quinn and Nelson? 0:34:12.969 --> 0:34:16.450 Probably not. But honestly, it helps their offensive line, and 0:34:16.469 --> 0:34:19.010 they're getting Jadarian Price back and Zach Charbonnet. 0:34:19.489 --> 0:34:21.690 Their line is good. Yeah, they're getting both those guys back, 0:34:21.730 --> 0:34:24.589 I think, this week. I still think it's that team 0:34:24.630 --> 0:34:26.130 and it's the Rams. I know people are like, the Rams? 0:34:26.150 --> 0:34:26.360 They're 3-4. 0:34:27.370 --> 0:34:29.450 And I know it was against the Raiders. Their offense 0:34:29.510 --> 0:34:31.649 finally looked like the way it should for the first 0:34:31.690 --> 0:34:34.430 time this season, last week against the Raiders. And they 0:34:34.450 --> 0:34:36.480 don't have Devontae Adams back. That's where I think the 0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:38.620 Rams would probably stand pat and just think like, we'll 0:34:38.640 --> 0:34:42.259 get reinforcements. If we beat the Arizona Cardinals again, or 0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:44.080 this week, could they play in the chargers? If we 0:34:44.100 --> 0:34:46.060 beat those teams, we're getting miles Garrett back in a. 0:34:46.060 --> 0:34:48.570 Week or get the chargers this week. Yeah, I know 0:34:48.710 --> 0:34:49.390 that that's. 0:34:49.170 --> 0:34:50.589 Where that gets a soft landing spot. I still look 0:34:50.610 --> 0:34:52.850 at those two teams and that's why you make aggressive moves. 0:34:53.250 --> 0:34:56.549 And I think DeForest Buckner today is aggressive move. And honestly, it's, 0:34:56.989 --> 0:34:59.810 it's one of the better reunions in Bay area history where, 0:35:00.150 --> 0:35:02.250 you know, guys coming back to an old barrier team. 0:35:02.270 --> 0:35:04.229 Like I think of Ricky Henderson, I think of Andre 0:35:04.250 --> 0:35:06.980 Guadagno coming back to the golden state warriors. So this 0:35:07.020 --> 0:35:09.799 is probably up there. And I know some, some fans 0:35:09.820 --> 0:35:11.259 are talking about this for quite some time, but it 0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:13.739 actually came to fruition. It's not bad to him. If 0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:15.719 it is the end of his career, not bad to 0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:17.739 end things with the 49ers, a team that drafted you. 0:35:17.980 --> 0:35:20.920 Would you consider if I'm just throwing positions out that 0:35:20.940 --> 0:35:23.140 I think the Niners could have, could like, Where else 0:35:23.219 --> 0:35:26.190 could they improve, right? Like, really the question is, what 0:35:26.310 --> 0:35:28.609 is your biggest need? And I still think it's pass rush. 0:35:28.670 --> 0:35:31.050 And I thought D-line was a great place to bolster 0:35:31.070 --> 0:35:32.810 him because it was Buckner. He's better than some of 0:35:32.830 --> 0:35:35.210 the other guys there. I mean, the idea is tantalizing 0:35:35.270 --> 0:35:37.430 of having Grayson Halton as the backup now, right? 0:35:37.469 --> 0:35:37.669 Yeah. 0:35:37.690 --> 0:35:39.030 Which is the way it was supposed to be. 0:35:39.090 --> 0:35:39.529 It's depth. 0:35:39.550 --> 0:35:40.120 It's depth now. 0:35:40.140 --> 0:35:40.859 You know what it is like? 0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:42.520 And you're confident when the depth comes in. 0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:45.400 It's like Aaron Donald coming back to the Rams, where 0:35:45.420 --> 0:35:47.100 they didn't need him. But it's good to have him. 0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:47.900 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:35:47.940 --> 0:35:49.540 A lot of guys on that defensive line that are 0:35:49.580 --> 0:35:51.779 younger and now Aaron Dolan has to play. But it's 0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:53.140 kind of like that, where you've got a ton of 0:35:53.180 --> 0:35:54.680 depth at the defensive tackle position. 0:35:54.980 --> 0:35:56.480 So here's the question I would ask. It's like, yeah, 0:35:56.500 --> 0:35:58.440 people think they can improve at receiver. I don't think 0:35:58.460 --> 0:35:59.900 it's that big of a need. Pass rush, we've done 0:35:59.920 --> 0:36:02.450 the Khalil Mack thing. And the offensive line thing, I 0:36:02.489 --> 0:36:03.779 don't think they're adding anybody there. 0:36:03.969 --> 0:36:04.120 Right. 0:36:04.820 --> 0:36:06.989 They also used the draft pick on Carver Willis and 0:36:07.010 --> 0:36:09.190 all that. So the other positions where I'm like, do 0:36:09.230 --> 0:36:11.750 I have a little bit of concern anywhere? How about 0:36:12.430 --> 0:36:12.910 kick return? 0:36:13.989 --> 0:36:15.489 Yeah, Jacob Cowan, yeah. Absolutely. 0:36:15.630 --> 0:36:16.950 Are you, any concerns there? 0:36:17.310 --> 0:36:17.670 Of course. 0:36:18.070 --> 0:36:20.690 Cause he's not, I mean, I don't. What's your level 0:36:20.750 --> 0:36:24.189 of confidence in Jacob Cowling just doing the right thing 0:36:24.250 --> 0:36:26.480 on a punt return? pretty low at this point i 0:36:26.500 --> 0:36:28.620 think i'm in like the 50s i think i'm in 0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.140 like the i'm like 55 percent. 0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:33.239 Confident you can replace that position like there's a reason 0:36:33.260 --> 0:36:35.380 why debo samuel was doing in the preseason. 0:36:34.980 --> 0:36:36.219 He lost his job last year they went and got 0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:36.860 sky more. 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:38.259 I wouldn't be the least bit surprised i don't think 0:36:38.280 --> 0:36:40.279 jake cowan's getting cut by any means but like when 0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:42.430 we get to playoff time i think debo's gonna be 0:36:42.450 --> 0:36:43.120 the guy that's gonna. 0:36:43.010 --> 0:36:44.509 Be returning kids i don't think you can have him 0:36:44.550 --> 0:36:45.989 back no i don't think so i mean so there's 0:36:46.070 --> 0:36:47.410 one that i'm looking at where i'm like is there 0:36:47.430 --> 0:36:48.950 something like that you could get because these are all 0:36:48.989 --> 0:36:51.570 things that are like inexpensive I'm talking a guy who 0:36:51.590 --> 0:36:53.090 wouldn't be playing out there. You'd have him as a 0:36:53.170 --> 0:36:55.850 special teamer specifically. Is there somebody like that? I mean, 0:36:55.870 --> 0:36:58.089 they got Brian Robinson Jr. last year. When they put 0:36:58.110 --> 0:36:59.700 him back there as the kick returner, that's when things 0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:01.620 got a lot better for them in the kick return game. 0:37:01.780 --> 0:37:02.340 No, absolutely. 0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:04.000 So that's one that I'm intrigued by. 0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:06.580 As far as red flags right now? 0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:07.060 No, no. 0:37:07.100 --> 0:37:09.020 I'm just saying places where I'm like, hmm, that might 0:37:09.060 --> 0:37:10.660 be interesting if you could get something cheap there. 0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:15.120 What about tight ends? You and I have talked about 0:37:15.140 --> 0:37:15.760 this in the past. 0:37:15.780 --> 0:37:16.779 I don't think they're going to do that. 0:37:16.960 --> 0:37:18.700 I don't think so either. I think that when you 0:37:18.739 --> 0:37:20.930 look at what they got right now, George Kittle has 0:37:20.969 --> 0:37:25.799 been unbelievable this year. And Luke Farrell's been fine. It's unfortunate. 0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:27.960 I'm blanking on who's my guy. 0:37:28.460 --> 0:37:29.220 Oh, yeah, Tonjes. 0:37:29.390 --> 0:37:31.830 Tonjes. And it's fortunate he's out for the season now. 0:37:31.870 --> 0:37:33.190 So it'd be good to have some tight end depth. 0:37:33.210 --> 0:37:34.210 Brayden Willis is around. 0:37:34.450 --> 0:37:37.649 Yeah, exactly. But that's, you know, Kyle Juszczyk is also 0:37:37.690 --> 0:37:39.370 kind of a glorified tight end a little bit. So 0:37:39.469 --> 0:37:41.390 I would say, I don't think that's a position they're 0:37:41.410 --> 0:37:43.400 going to go after right now. Again, it's going to 0:37:43.420 --> 0:37:45.920 be where if they make another move, it would be 0:37:45.960 --> 0:37:49.140 Khalil Mack. Like, that's what I know, like, there's pie 0:37:49.180 --> 0:37:51.319 in the sky. I like that some Niner fans today 0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.620 are being reasonable and like, yeah, it'd be great to 0:37:53.660 --> 0:37:56.890 get that guy, but it's not happening. Kahlil Mack is feasible. 0:37:57.300 --> 0:37:59.780 By the way, I still want John Lynch to call 0:37:59.820 --> 0:38:00.590 about Garrett Wilson. 0:38:00.739 --> 0:38:02.010 Of course, you always make calls. 0:38:02.310 --> 0:38:03.989 I'd still like, even if I'm like, don't, that's not 0:38:04.030 --> 0:38:05.650 the one that I think is as important. 0:38:05.730 --> 0:38:08.089 But what if, who's it, David Moji? That's the Jets GM. 0:38:08.110 --> 0:38:09.890 What if he's like, all right, make me an offer. 0:38:09.910 --> 0:38:11.149 And he's like, I'll give you a first round pick. 0:38:11.250 --> 0:38:14.510 Not enough. All right, a first and a fifth. Not enough. 0:38:15.360 --> 0:38:17.339 A first and a third, not enough. All right, then 0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:17.960 I'm not doing this. 0:38:18.700 --> 0:38:20.450 Yeah, I also was just kind of seeing. 0:38:20.780 --> 0:38:24.590 Well, that's what happened last year when the Colts inquired 0:38:24.630 --> 0:38:26.510 about Sauce Gardner. They were like, make it worth our while. 0:38:26.750 --> 0:38:27.890 I'll give you two first-round picks. 0:38:28.110 --> 0:38:28.430 Done. 0:38:28.730 --> 0:38:30.110 For a corner? Absolutely. 0:38:30.510 --> 0:38:32.529 Quinton Williams. All right, Dallas, what are you offering? A 0:38:32.570 --> 0:38:33.150 first and a second? 0:38:33.290 --> 0:38:33.529 Done. 0:38:34.730 --> 0:38:36.370 I want to do that type of move for Gary 0:38:36.390 --> 0:38:37.129 Wilson at this point. 0:38:37.170 --> 0:38:38.920 What do you think, and RIP, dude, but what do 0:38:38.930 --> 0:38:41.240 you think happened when Ditka called the... Who did he 0:38:42.780 --> 0:38:43.700 get the number one pick from? 0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:43.980 Saints. 0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:46.220 Saints. No, he was on the Saints. 0:38:46.239 --> 0:38:48.000 Oh, sorry. Washington. 0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:49.770 Yeah, he got it from Washington. When Dickie called and 0:38:49.790 --> 0:38:51.509 he's like, I'll give you a one for your one. 0:38:51.530 --> 0:38:53.609 They're like, nope. He's like, a one and a two. 0:38:53.890 --> 0:38:56.690 They're like, nope. He's like, a three. Keep going. 0:38:57.030 --> 0:38:57.370 Five. 0:38:57.450 --> 0:38:58.710 He gets all the way to all of them and 0:38:58.730 --> 0:39:00.890 then they're like, all right, we'll do it for your 0:39:00.910 --> 0:39:01.450 whole draft. 0:39:01.570 --> 0:39:02.390 Yeah, that's ridiculous. 0:39:02.410 --> 0:39:05.020 He's like, give me Ricky, dude. Ricky was like, let 0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:06.600 me put on this wedding dress and we'll take this 0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:08.420 photo because this is the way my career is going 0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:08.739 to start. 0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.820 That's like when George is trying to break some change 0:39:12.000 --> 0:39:14.890 at the newsstand and the guy's like, all right, I 0:39:14.910 --> 0:39:16.850 want to buy some gum. Not enough. 0:39:18.090 --> 0:39:20.779 I can't get 1950 and change? Yeah, he's like, no. 0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:24.500 Okay, I'll get a caloric bar. Not enough. I'll get 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:25.800 this penthouse. Keep going. 0:39:25.820 --> 0:39:28.029 That's hysterical. 808-KBR-415-808-5627, the number to call. 0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:30.660 And text. 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:32.820 We'll take a quick break. Edgar in New Jersey is 0:39:32.900 --> 0:39:34.120 on the line. Derek called him out. 0:39:34.140 --> 0:39:34.520 Oh, come on now. 0:39:34.739 --> 0:39:34.900 I know. 0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:36.640 I think it's going to be all positive stuff, dude. 0:39:36.739 --> 0:39:39.239 Hey, I love Edgar. But he told me there's no 0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:40.740 way in hell the Niners are losing the Falcons. 0:39:40.860 --> 0:39:42.589 Even if you tried to trash talk Edgar, I think 0:39:42.620 --> 0:39:44.250 he just... I'm not trash talking him. I think he 0:39:44.270 --> 0:39:46.050 would just charm... What would you do with this? I 0:39:46.050 --> 0:39:47.710 think he'd just charm you up, dude. I love Edgar. 0:39:47.730 --> 0:39:50.430 He's too nice of a guy, dude. Edgar is on 0:39:50.450 --> 0:39:52.489 the line. We'll get to his thoughts on this next. 0:39:52.510 --> 0:39:54.950 Come on now. KMBR's number to call and text. Is 0:39:54.989 --> 0:39:57.319 there a player out there we have not mentioned that 0:39:57.340 --> 0:39:58.960 you think the 49ers could be in on? I mean, 0:39:58.980 --> 0:39:59.879 I was just taking a look at the. 0:40:00.100 --> 0:40:00.860 Yaya Adabi. 0:40:00.980 --> 0:40:03.440 The top trade candidates. And this is why some of 0:40:03.460 --> 0:40:06.299 the guys like Jonathan Taylor... Garrett Wilson. These are guys 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:08.950 that they may dangle just to check the price on 0:40:09.010 --> 0:40:11.049 it and then wait and see in the offseason too. 0:40:11.350 --> 0:40:13.230 I would be surprised if Jonathan Taylor gets traded. I 0:40:13.270 --> 0:40:15.500 don't think he's getting moved either. There's other guys like 0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:17.960 Josh Sweat on the Cardinals. He's not going into division. 0:40:18.550 --> 0:40:20.270 No, but I can see the Packers getting him. Two 0:40:20.310 --> 0:40:21.650 years left on his deal right now. That's what I'm 0:40:21.670 --> 0:40:22.890 wishing to get into, too, is, like, are there other 0:40:22.930 --> 0:40:24.810 potential moves out there that NFC teams could do where 0:40:24.830 --> 0:40:26.650 you're like, ooh, that's bigger than DeForest Buckner? 0:40:26.690 --> 0:40:28.660 That's where I'm going next, is, is there a player 0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:31.219 out there that the Seahawks or the Rams could add 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.640 that would make you a lot more concerned about them? 0:40:33.680 --> 0:40:33.839 Yeah. 0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.540 We'll talk about that next. Dirty work on a Tuesday. Also, 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.680 Guy Haberman at 450, only here on Esports Leader.
