1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks the Super Bowl with Daniel Jeremiah, 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, and Rhett Lewis everybody, what's going on? Welcome 3 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: to move the sticks, d J, Bucky, Rhett back with 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: you here, and boys, we got a lot to get 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: to on this Super Bowl. Not only are takeaways from 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl game, um, but what this means going 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: forward in the NFL. I know Bucky and I had 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: the interesting conversation last night about that. Rhett does not 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: know what that conversation was. That a little bit later 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: on that we'll bring him in he can keep up. Okay, 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: how we know? Boys? Uh, the individual takeaways bitter sweet 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: good game? Right, yeah it is. I mean it was. 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: It was a fun game. I mean the first three 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: and a half quarters, you know, I mean it was 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: the game was truly in the balance and and then 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 1: the boy, the Chiefs just turned on the gas right 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: that final six minutes. Certainly uh for Kyle Shanahan probably 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: bringing up some old Super Bowl nightmares. It wasn't quite 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: like the Falcons collapse, but man, uh, to be up 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: ten with six minutes to go is and not win 21 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: the game is a tough way to go. Yeah, I 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: mean this This is a game that brings in so 23 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: many things that we talked about in the scouting world 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: into play, um building around your quarterback, what is a 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: true franchise quarterback? Um, what franchise quarterbacks bring beyond just 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: their skills, to hope and the optimism. And then when 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: you think about coaching, like how you manage your roster 28 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: and what you have, and how you kind of minimize 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: your your weaknesses and enhance your strength. All this kind 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: of came to fruition in this game. And so to me, 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of a fascinating watch. And I think it's 32 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: one of those where evaluators will pop in this tape 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: and look at it over and over and over again 34 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: just to look at the construction of the two teams. Yeah, 35 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: there's definitely a scouting slant to this. So we're gonna 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: get too as we go through these takeaways, but we 37 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: each have one and like Rhet said, almost a little 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: bitter sweet here, because we've been doing these things podcasts 39 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: throughout the entire season. Last one, no doubt, but look 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: the the offseason strength. But we're just in the NFL. 41 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: We've got a lot to be excited about, and the 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: raft gets rolling and we're gonna have path to the 43 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: draft coming your way as well as lots of draft 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: stuff right here, I'm with sticks, so uh. With with 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: that said, let's finish this thing up the right way here, 46 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: I'll start with my first takeaway, uh from this game, 47 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: and that was, once again, in a big game, it 48 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: was Mahomes mobility. That was the difference. Forty seconds remaining, 49 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: first corner in the eye Patrick Mahomes. Fullback Sherman shifts 50 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: to the right. They're gonna run a sprint option action Mahomes. 51 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: He dies rightside the touchdown chance on City Patrick Mahomes 52 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: a one yard touchdown run, his third rushing touchdown of 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: his postseason career. Hey you heard that touchdown run right there, 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: but also some huge third downs a couple of third 55 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: and fives he was able to convert with his legs. 56 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: Then you also look at the third and eleven where 57 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: he took off and had the first down and the 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: ball got hit and knocked back a yard, but still 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: make up fourth down for him. They went on to 60 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: finish off that drive. I just thought, Buck, when when 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: you look at the way that the league is headed, 62 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: and this is something we can touch on a little 63 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: bit later on as we go to these kind of 64 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: big picture takeaways. But the NFL is or the college 65 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: game is giving us a lot more quality defensive lineman 66 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: than quality offensive lineman. It's been that way for almost 67 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: a decade, maybe more than a decade. That's not going 68 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: to change anytime soon. So to me, what that tells 69 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: me is, you're not gonna have a wall in front 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: of you. That's just not gonna happen. The guys you're 71 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: gonna be after block are gonna be better than the 72 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: guys you have blocking more times than not. If your 73 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: quarterback cannot move, cannot get out of trouble, uh, you 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: have no chance. Man. And I thought Mahomes in so 75 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: many big games, especially in the postseason. Thing about that 76 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: long run against the Titans, the touchdown runway runs dude 77 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: over um. His mobility was huge in the Super Bowl. Yeah, 78 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: it was. It was huge. And I think from the 79 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: quarterback position, he is the new prototype in terms of 80 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: what you want. Everyone is gonna say that because hey, 81 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: he's the most talented guy that maybe we see the 82 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: position at the current time, But I think he's a 83 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: new prototype in terms of what everyone is looking for now. 84 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Is a guy who can throw inside and now it's 85 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. A guy who has a gun 86 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: slinker's mentality, meaning that he is not uh, he doesn't 87 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: work under pressure of poor mistakes and bad decisions. He's 88 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: able to kind of bounce back with the resiliency and 89 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: then ultimately at the end of the day, he is 90 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: a playmaker. I think if we put this in the 91 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: basketball terms, so much of the times when we evaluated quarterbacks, 92 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: we've been looking for shooters. I think right now we're 93 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: looking for scores, guys who can just find a way 94 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: to get it done. When you think about the three 95 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that earned accolades this weekend, Cala Murray Offensive Rookie 96 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: of the Year, Lamar Jackson NFL m v P, Pat 97 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: Mahomes Super Bowl m v P. They just find ways 98 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: to put the ball in the bucket. And I think 99 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: as we're beginning to look at quarterbacks, it's a little 100 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: less of the artistry and more about the production and 101 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: no matter how they do it, can they find a 102 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: way to get it done. Yeah. He throw Deshaun Watson 103 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: into that conversation as well. It was in this postseason Um. 104 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: You know, I think when we look back at this 105 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: game and at this run for the Chiefs. You look 106 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: at a team that was down by ten plus points, 107 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: ten or more points in every game this postseason, then 108 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: came back to win each game by ten or more points. 109 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: That's that's insane. That speaks to your resiliency, Bucky, like 110 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: you were talking about with the quarterback, um, because they 111 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: are never out of it, not only in the framework 112 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: of a game, but in the framework of a possession. 113 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: And that's where the third and fifteen comes in, right. 114 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: This is a team that converted six third and fifteens 115 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: this year, more than any other team in football. Three 116 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: of them went for touchdowns, which is more than any 117 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: other team in football. And although the Tyreek Hill conversion 118 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: in this game didn't go for a score, it led 119 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: to a score that got them back into the game. 120 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: So let's let's just hit on a couple of things 121 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: from that play. Um. By now, you know, if you've 122 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: read the Peter King Monday Morning Quarterback whatever, he calls 123 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: that thing wasp wasp because, as Andy Reid said, literally 124 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: put the stinger on them, um. And And look, that's 125 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: terrific insight that that Peter King got. Because you know, 126 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: we love, we love learning the details right, Philly Special 127 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: wasp that stuff. Um. But man, you go back and 128 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: look at that route that I re kill ran. Jimmy 129 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: Ward didn't stand a chance. That not the way they 130 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: were covering it, which I know probably wasn't what was intended. 131 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: I mean, So Tyreek, yeah, a bust on Mosley right 132 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: on the other side, on his third of the field. 133 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: So it was so cool because I was watching that 134 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: route and watching and reading about how Tyreek Hill was 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: talking about he said, look, speed kills in this league. 136 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 1: I have more speed than anybody. I used my speed 137 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: to eat up the cushion, and once I could get 138 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: his hips turned, I knew it was over. So when 139 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: I started watching that thing, Jimmy Ward closes the gap 140 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: on Tyreek to the near hash, and when Tyreek makes 141 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: his move inside and back to the outside, Jimmy Ward 142 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: flips his hips so violently that it takes him all 143 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: the way to the other hash and there was ten 144 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: yards of separation. And then you go back to Mahomes's 145 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: role in this play. He was beat up, um and 146 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: him his offensive line was beat up, and he was 147 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: pressured often in this game, and on that play in particular, 148 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: so that ball was snapped from the thirty five yard 149 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: the minus thirty five yard line. Mahomes is in the shotgun. 150 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: He receives it at the thirty He then lets it 151 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: loose at the two, so backtracking from where the ball 152 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: was snapped just to get away from the pressure, and 153 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: then unleashes the longest completion in terms of air yards 154 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: this season, ball travels fifty seven when his team really 155 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: needs it. I mean, that's putting a team on your back, 156 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: that is rising to the occasion when your team needs 157 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: you the most. I mean, it's it's really unbelievable. It 158 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: reminds me in staying with the basketball thing, it's a 159 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: Steph Curry half court shot basically, like as Steph Curry 160 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: coming past the timeline and just launching one, and we're 161 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: so accustomed to seeing Steph hit those shots that it's 162 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: nothing to us. I think we're kind of becoming the 163 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: same way with Pat Mahomes. We've seen these kind of 164 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: plays where he kind of phades and drifts and just 165 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: launches a missile. I never would have imagined on third 166 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: and fifteen they would give it up. I would say 167 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: by play design though, it was really an excellent design 168 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: because Mosley really had no choice but to go inside. 169 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: And the way they play their cover three with the 170 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: dig and I mean it's just one on one Tyreek 171 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: Hill on uh Jimmy Wood and death. That doesn't win 172 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: for Hill all day. Interesting thing about that play. I 173 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: talked to a buddy that's been in the scouting world 174 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: for a long long time and got multiple Super Ring 175 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl rings, and I said, I'm watching this play. 176 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: I said, he's from the shotgun. He literally takes a 177 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: nine step drop from the shotgun. I said, I've never 178 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: seen that before. He goes, oh, I have man, I 179 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: go who he goes, No, no buck, He said, if 180 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: you go back and watch when I scouted Steve McNair 181 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: when he was coming out of Alcorn, said they were 182 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 1: playing like Youngstown State, and you know, Alcorn didn't have 183 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: a many dudes. Youngstown State was a really, really good 184 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: one double a team. So in order to get Steve 185 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: away from the rush, he would take that deep drop. 186 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: He'd be twenty yards away from the line of scrimmage 187 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: when it was all said done. But he had such 188 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: a big arm that that would just give me a 189 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: little that was gonna buy me time from the rush 190 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: and I have enough arm to still dice, slice you 191 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: and dice you from back there. But I thought, man, 192 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: that is that's what it is because they could not 193 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: block him. They couldn't on that play in particular, Bosa 194 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: got held by Fisher, didn't get called um, but they're 195 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: still I think Buckner had had pressure on that one. 196 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: But to get away from the rush. A lot of 197 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: times we think about escaping to the outside. When you've 198 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: got an arm like that, you can escape back. I mean, 199 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: just get vertical. Uh that that's awesome. I love that 200 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: you brought up the McNair part because one of the 201 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: best high school quarterback I ever saw in my life 202 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: was Brock Berlin playing for Academy and evangel I saw him. 203 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: I saw him play. They set up in shotgun ten 204 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: yards on every play like he was a ten yard shotgun, 205 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: was like a deep snapper. Uh so, like he was 206 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: still Booty's brother brother. Yeah that's right. So anyway, that's 207 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. What's the next takeaway here? Buck? The Chiefs 208 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: defense is Steve Spagnola made a justice Chiefs money for 209 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: in the pockets. He's up tossed. It will be the 210 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: legal touch of nothing else. Frank the shark Clark. Frank 211 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: the shark Clark. How about that? This so look. We 212 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: always talked about this game being one of adjustments, Like 213 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: you see what someone has your fastball, you try and 214 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: get them off the fastball to make them use their 215 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: change up. Early in the game, I was worried about 216 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: the Cancer the Chiefs on defense. I didn't think they 217 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: would be able to corral and slow down to running game, 218 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: and they did. Jimmy Garoppolo was in rhythm. He was 219 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: doing a good job of really eating them up because 220 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: they were over aggressive to the run. They were hitting 221 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: him with play actions and quicks and moving the ball 222 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: down the field. Somewhere in the fourth quarter, the Cancer 223 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs kind of figured it out. Tommer Matthew has 224 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: an outburst on the sideline. They begin to kind of 225 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: find a way. They started creating pressure. You saw Steve 226 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: Spagnella bring more five and six man pressures, and I 227 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: believe the biggest play of the game was when Sorenson 228 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: hit Jimmy Garoppolo. When he hit him in the fourth quarter, 229 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: it changed the way that Jimmy Garoppolo was thrown. We 230 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: always talked about um the harassment and how it changes 231 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: and altars. The rhythm of the quarterbacks play that big 232 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: hit early, I believe began to change the way Jimmy 233 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: Garoppolo felt in the pocket. We saw him start having 234 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: some errand throws. Between that hit and Chris Jones being 235 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: able to bat balls down at the line of scrimmage, 236 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs were able to create disruption, and 237 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: that disruption completely took their office out of his normal rhythm. 238 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah look, I mean it just it just didn't seem 239 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: like the same forty Niners rushing attack early on. If 240 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: not for Deebo Samuel, I thought this team might have 241 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: been in some real trouble. I mean, he was providing 242 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: them those chunk plays that they weren't getting in the 243 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: run game. I mean, whehee. Most Tevin Coleman were pretty 244 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: much wrapped up early in that game. They now they 245 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: eventually loosened it up a little bit and got some 246 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: of those plays going, But man, it did not come 247 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: easy for them in the run game. I thought the 248 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs defended the edge outside of the debot plays pretty well. 249 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: On some of that outside zone stuff and the fact 250 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs ended up with a hundred yard rusher 251 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: in this game, and kept the forty Niners out of 252 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: that Uh. That statue that way was was really impressive. Um, 253 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: I mean leading Russia where he most of fifty eight 254 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: yards in this game, Chris Jones was a force. I 255 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: mean those two those two pass deflections he had, uh 256 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: in the late in the fourth quarter as the forty 257 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Niners were behind on consecutive plays. Man, that was huge. 258 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: And that dude going in after the game and saying 259 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: he wants to be a chief for life. Um, I 260 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: mean it's pretty funny. I mean he's talking. He went 261 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: like Lebron James, he went not one three or he 262 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: wants a dynasty. He wants all the championships and he 263 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: like he let George Kittle know that. You know, stone 264 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: cold sack nation was here. I mean, Chris Jones was 265 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: enjoying that victory as well he should. He was a 266 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: big part of it. He's a special player. I think, 267 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: really you look at the two d tackles in that game, 268 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: with him and Armstead both being free agents, They're both 269 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: gonna be money based off type of type of players 270 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: that they are. But Buck, I agree with you in 271 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: terms of the adjustments. I thought early on and it 272 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: was texting back and forth with an offensive line coach 273 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: during the game, and he was saying they were they 274 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: were trying to stem into a bare front late, you know, 275 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: late in the snap count, just to try and load 276 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: up to try and stop the run. Had some success 277 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: with that early on. Then I thought the Niners did 278 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: a nice job with Deebo Samuel kind of hitting the 279 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: alley on them. They're creating another blocker with with the 280 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: running back. I think he might have been I think 281 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: with mostart I think had a huge block out there 282 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: on the safety on one of them. But I don't 283 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: understand why they didn't necessarily keep going back to that. 284 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: I thought this was a game where Deebo Samuel should 285 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: have had seven, eight, nine carries three he was rolling 286 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: the way they had him going. I don't understand that 287 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: that was That was one of the things I didn't get. 288 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: I thought they would have continued to go back to 289 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: that um. But the other thing that they did give 290 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Spagnolo credit on a lot of the money downs, on 291 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the key downs, they bracketed. They bracketed 292 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: George Kittle and they were not going to let him 293 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: beat them. And a couple of times Jimmy just failed 294 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: to get off of him. He like he locked onto him. 295 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: He was bracketed. If he would have come off. He 296 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: had Emmanuel Standers on a couple of plays where he 297 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: could have got some some conversions, but he just got 298 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: so focused and locked in. And it goes back to 299 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's the Bill Belichick, right, I mean, you're 300 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna get make you be left handed, take away what 301 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: you're most comfortable with. And everybody says that they give 302 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: lip service to it, but they don't do it. And 303 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: I thought that Spagnola in that Chief's defense did a 304 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: good job of making them a little uncomfortable there in 305 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Well, and then the one time he 306 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: really needed Kittle and had Kittle, he just held open 307 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: in the middle on that third and five. What was 308 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: that kind of like an angle type of route and 309 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: he was just he got a step on this. He 310 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: was he was naked. He had Suggs, Suggs dropping with 311 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: him and then it was stealing, but he just didn't 312 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: see him. Look, Jimmy, there was there was three third 313 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: downs Jimmy Garoppolo would like to have back. When you 314 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: talk about um. Early on in the third and five, 315 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: he could have ran for a first down he didn't. Um, 316 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: then you had the one we're referencing there to Kittle 317 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: where he fly it's just right over the middle of 318 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: the field, doesn't see him. And then the third and ten. 319 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: I mean as much grief as Kyle Shanahan's getting if 320 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: he makes it. Really really is not a difficult throw. 321 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: I know it's deep down the field, but in the 322 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: top post, when you've got three yards of separation, it's 323 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: a touchdown or a penalty. Can it's either on the money, 324 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: it's a touchdown. You underthrow it, it's a penalty. The 325 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: one thing you cannot do when you have a defender 326 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: and trail position by three yards is overthrow it, even 327 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: you're you're golden and wasn't even close. It really wasn't. Yeah, 328 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: he missed a layup because that was a layup to 329 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: be had. And I think Um in this game, we 330 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: talked about a DJ You and I talked about it 331 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: on the phone, like the comparison between the two quarterbacks, 332 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: Like ultimately everyone believes that they have a franchise quarterback, 333 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: but we talked about it. Look, they come in two categories. 334 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: Trucks are trailers and at the end of the day, 335 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: when you look at the battle between Pat Mahomes and 336 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Pat Mahomes is a truck. He carries the squad. 337 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo at this stage of his career, he's a trailer. 338 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: He needs to in the game and all those things. 339 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: And I think everyone points to the end of the 340 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: first half, and I think you have to listen to 341 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's words and and and just take him at 342 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: his word for why he made that decision. He talked 343 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: after the game about Look, we understood they had three timeouts, 344 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: and with that quarterback of theirs, we didn't want to 345 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: give him the ball back. The coach is telling you, 346 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: I'm fearful of number fifteen on the other team. I 347 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: don't want to give him an opportunity. So is I 348 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: believe my quarterback isn't as good as the other quarterback. 349 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: I trust their quarterback more to make a play. So 350 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're gonna choke it down 351 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: and see if we can get a play later. And 352 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: if we don't get it, we don't want to give 353 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes another opportunity. Yeah, and guys, if you're if 354 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: you're I actually I actually agree with him. I sorry, sorry, 355 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: but the first decision because I think, yeah, I think 356 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: in hindsight, people look at that the punt goes into 357 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: the end zone, right, so they get the ball. Well, 358 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: you don't have that knowledge of what's gonna happen with 359 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: the punt, so you burned the time out. What happens 360 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: when they pin you inside the five yard line? You've 361 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: got to be conservative. They've got all three time outs. 362 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: They've got a kicker who I saw in Mexico City 363 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: make a seventy yard field goal in warm ups. Okay, 364 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: he's got probably the strongest leg of anybody in the league. 365 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: You're giving the Kansas City Chiefs three points if their 366 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 1: punter is able to pin you inside the five, So 367 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: why take that chance that the odds are there more 368 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: difficult for me to travel, even if it's a touchback, 369 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: to travel the distance signed for a field goal than 370 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: it would be for them to get me pinned and 371 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: then end up getting the ball back and get points. 372 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: So I actually thought it was a little bit conservative, 373 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: but I thought it was I thought it was smart. Well, 374 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: if not for the OPI there and they're gonna kick 375 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: a field goal, and if you have a shot to 376 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: double up with ten points, you know, coming out and 377 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: getting the ball in the second half. So like you know, 378 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: it was whatever the plan was, like it almost you 379 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: know worked, yeah, and and I actually it looked before 380 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: you can win gage, you have to learn how not 381 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: to lose them. I think what cal shanahan was doing was, Hey, 382 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: let's make sure we don't give them any cheap points 383 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: before the half. Worst case we go in tin tin. 384 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: Best case, maybe we get a field goal or touchdown 385 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: and have the possibility of the double score that you 386 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: talked about. And so from a strategic standpoint, I thought 387 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: he was right. He had three time ouse. Three time 388 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: ouse with a minute left is an eternity, especially if 389 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: you're in your two minute drill if you're doing something. 390 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: So I thought he played it right. And I know 391 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: people are beating them up over making that decision, but 392 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: I think, look, they had the game exactly where they wanted. 393 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: Now we can talk about the fourth quarter and where 394 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: they did in the fourth quarter, but the way they 395 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: played out the first half, I am absolutely fine with it. 396 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: All right, Well, if that kind of leads leads us 397 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: into the final takeaway. Despite some flaws in this final game, 398 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: the forty Niners will be back four man rush with 399 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: those four or enough did they come? My Homes stepping up, 400 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: he's throwing long down field for Tyrek coll got it 401 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: the twenty yard line and then spun down there the 402 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: first giant chunk of the game on third down and 403 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: fifteen and my Homes guns it for forty four yards 404 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: down to the Santa Cisco twenty one yard live. Yeah, look, 405 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: that's a you know, obviously that was a tough one 406 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: for the Niners. And I think, you know, we should 407 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: start this thing with Jimmy Garoppolo because that's that's kind 408 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: of what where we where we ended? The last takeaway 409 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: This is a twenty eight year old two time Super 410 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: Bowl champion, but just lost the Super Bowl in his 411 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: first full season, starting, his first full season starting, So 412 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: how much better can he be? How much more can 413 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: he improve in this system? And as the system evolves, 414 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: what is the ceiling for Jimmy Garoppolo. I'm not sure 415 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: we're there yet, right. I think we're gonna get some 416 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: some nice insight from our guy Mike gild who covers 417 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots and spent a lot of time with Jimmy 418 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: Garoppolo during his time with the Patriots on the Aftermath 419 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 1: later today coming up for you at four o'clock Eastern 420 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: Time for the six Eastern Time season finale of The Aftermath. 421 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: I might mention, um, and and so from year to year, 422 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: can he find a way now to rise above the 423 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: fire in these hostile environ mints that we've seen him 424 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: in Now when things aren't perfect, as we've talked about DJ, 425 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: when things don't go quite as planned or as scripted, 426 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: what can he do to improve in those areas? Because 427 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: they've got everything else, you know, maybe they need you. 428 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: They could use a little more depth along the offensive line, 429 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: keep kind of building that thing up a little bit. 430 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if they're gonna be able 431 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: to keep Armstead or not knowing that you're gonna have 432 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: to pay Buckner and then you know you've got you know, 433 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: Nick Bosadford. You know he's already making a ton of money. Uh, 434 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: Fred Warner, you know it's gonna be one of those guys. 435 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: They need some secondary help probably a little bit as well. Um. 436 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: You know, they've got enough right now to be back 437 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: in this position as an NFC favorite next year. Whether 438 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: they can get over the hump, will largely depend on 439 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's continued improvement, if you will, or his track, 440 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: his trajectory and progress. So that that really lies the question, 441 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: because they've they've really got everything else which makes me 442 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: believe that they'll be back. But let me give you 443 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: a good bit, buck buck, let me hit you on 444 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: this real quick. I wanta hit buck on this. Uh, 445 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: good news, bad news? Right? Think about this season without 446 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: this rookie class, right So Nick Bosi, that's the best 447 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: player on their football team and they couldn't block him 448 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: throughout the season. And then we saw that and even 449 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl Deebo Samuel I thought was their 450 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: best offensive player, Dre Greenlaw saved their season with the 451 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: tackle that he made against Seattle. Those that's just three 452 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: rookies right there. That's the good news the bad news. 453 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't figure, I didn't think 454 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: about this or hadn't put this together. But you know, 455 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: the forty Niners have their they pick thirty one. They 456 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: don't have a pick in the second round, third round, 457 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: or fourth round. None. They don't pick again to the 458 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: fifth round. So they neither gonna have to trade back 459 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: or they're gonna have to be engaged in free agency. Um. 460 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: And then Emmanuel Sanders a free agent as well. So 461 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: I keep coming back to the conversation we had about 462 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: the Packers playing the Niners, and we said the Packers 463 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: don't have enough firepower. And I thought, now, when you 464 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: go up against the Chiefs and you know, maybe they 465 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: play this game a hundred times, who knows. I tend 466 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: to believe it might be fifty fifty in terms of 467 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: who wins those games, very closely matched. But I do 468 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: think San Francisco in the offseason needs more firepower in 469 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: the passing game. Look, well, hold on, hold on that 470 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: for one second, because you know they did draft when 471 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: we we barely saw Jalen Herd. This year, Dante Pettis 472 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: was the second round pick. A couple but two years ago, 473 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: barely saw him. This year he's been he's been disappointing. 474 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: Trent Taylor was a it was a guy who caught 475 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: a ton of balls for this team. They'll get him back. Um. 476 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: You know, there are some pieces there that we haven't 477 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: seen yet as well. There are some pieces there I 478 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: do want, and no one will talk about it because 479 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: you talk about the firepower or whatever, and they've been 480 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: able to get away with kind of doing it with 481 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: like a cast of characters in the backfield. But imagine 482 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: if you put a high end running back behind them 483 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: and you think about what they could man running already, 484 00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: boss saying if we were, if we were, if we 485 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: were talking about Deandre's talking about guys with a thousand 486 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: yards season. I'm just saying, if we put if we 487 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: put it in a high end, yeah, high end, a 488 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: high end running back, like a high end running back 489 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: there to uh add and elevate maybe the running game. 490 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: Maybe that would be so I know you're talking about 491 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: the second running running game. Why would you go get 492 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: another running back? But really, you you pointed out all 493 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: the receivers that they've invested in. The only other way 494 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: that they can do it they would have to go 495 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: in free agency and find one in who is the 496 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: magical wand that's out there to kind of help them. 497 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: Well a pass catcher. And Jerk McKinnon too, Like, what's 498 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: what's gonna be his status coming back? We haven't seen 499 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: him for two years, and I can I can imagine 500 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: we'll see him the third year. Ian hadn't played a 501 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: snap in a nine Ers uniform. Really that that was meaningful. 502 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: So UM that was one of their big signings. You know, 503 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. They got a lot of 504 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: young talent though. I mean, if we've talked about it, 505 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: we'll see what they can do with with Armstead. It's 506 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: gonna be tough to pay him based off of the 507 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: other guys they have in that defense, I think Jimmy 508 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: Ward's a free agent to UM, along with Emmanuel Sanders. Yeah, 509 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: and they and they I think obviously like the big play, 510 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: like they have to think about like who was eventually 511 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: going to replace Richard Sherman on island. Uh dj uh 512 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: read you might have been part of this conversation. We 513 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: talked about this overall speed and we were worried about like, look, 514 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: they can block them up front, the speed would take over. 515 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: And we saw when they blocked them up they can't run. 516 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: I think one thing that San Francisco can do is 517 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: they can make a concerted effort to get more speed 518 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: and athleticism in the back end. Yeah, I think that's accurate. 519 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: You know, those are kind of our big takeaways from 520 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 1: this thing. We kind of looked at the next year. 521 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: The Chiefs aren't going anywhere. We'll see if they can 522 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: get Chris Jones locked up. Pat Mahomes is going to 523 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: sign the most ridiculous contract. Maybe maybe he'll wait, Maybe 524 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: he'll even wait. Maybe his price tag will go up 525 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: to fifty million a year. Maybe he would just say, 526 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm good playing on this led the 527 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: last I don't think yeah, it's like, hey, what do 528 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: you want, man? I just think, whatever you want, what 529 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: do you want, We're gonna give you. They just slid 530 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: him a blank check after the Dame Super Bowl last night, 531 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: just split it to him, like if they're just sign 532 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: this thing, man, whatever, right, whatever you want? Jeez. But 533 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: I do want to talk about a couple of things, Bucky. 534 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: We were talking about last night, and we've touched on 535 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: the mobile quarterback thing, about how going forward, and you 536 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: mentioned all the awards that were given out and the 537 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: teams that are built to last, and and maybe these 538 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: aren't gonna be the fifteen eighteen year careers for some 539 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks that move around a lot, but it's 540 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: it's it's where we're headed, man, because you can just 541 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: be so more electric and so much more versatile and 542 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: dynamic offensive when your quarterback can move and can make 543 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: up for some of your shortcomings up front, so get 544 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: ready for that. And then the other thing is positionless players. 545 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: And Deebo Samuel is a great example of that. You know, 546 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: the NBA has gone that route. Um, I think even 547 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: you see it in Major League Baseball. You'll see you 548 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: watch baseball games, You'll see a guy play second base, 549 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: then he'll kick out the center field. That you all 550 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: these shifts, so guys are playing on either side a 551 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: second base on the diamond. Um, even catchers. You'll see 552 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: catchers to save their legs and go play something out 553 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: in the outfield. They just want good players, positionless players. 554 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: We see it on defense with guys like Derwin James, 555 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew for the Chiefs, who can play nickel, can 556 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: play high, can play strong. You're gonna see an influx 557 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: of these guys that you can just play multiple positions. 558 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: And Deebo Samuel was a great example of that, used 559 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: as a runner and a receiver, right. And I think 560 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: even beyond that, I'm gonna put Deebo Samuel in a category. 561 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him in a category of the wing back. 562 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: I tweeted in the middle of the game that man, 563 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 1: when I look at the San Francisco four to nine 564 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: is they basically running a wing T offense and Deebo 565 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: Samuel is the wing back. He's half running back, half receiver. 566 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: And as we begin to look at some of these 567 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: guys that are beginning to come in the league at 568 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: wide receiver, they're guys who are established and accomplished return guys, 569 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: guys who have been used in the running game on 570 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: fly sweeps and jet sweeps, and they also have the 571 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: route running and pass catching ability to impact the game. 572 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel to me watching him go for fifty three 573 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: yards in the first half of the Super Bowl, I 574 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: absolutely believe that offensive coordinators are going to categorize some 575 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: of these guys as wingbacks and they're going to put 576 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: them into the offense not only as pass catchers, but 577 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to get them five to 578 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: six rush is a game to let them impact the 579 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: offensive plane. Kind of interesting, ain't why they draft the 580 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: Jalen Heard? I mean, that's what we talked, does all 581 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: that stuff, that's who he is. Yeah, So you know 582 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: who's out there this year that can feel you know, 583 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: those types of roles that this year Ya le Viscus 584 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: should know you talked about you from Arizona State. They're 585 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: a number of guys, Henry rugs, their number of guys 586 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: who can be utilized as guys that can run to 587 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: fly sweep to jet sweep to end the rounds and 588 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: also do the conventional and traditional stuff at wide receiver. Yeah, 589 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun to see 590 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: how teams try and incorporate, um, what we saw in 591 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: that game. And it's gonna just it's gonna be it's 592 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: gonna be an explosion of offense. We have so many 593 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: good creative play callers and play designers, and we have 594 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: a lot of young general managers. And I'm not saying 595 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: there's anthing wrong with being an old experience general manager, 596 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: but these guys are open to these new ideas and 597 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: trying to find new trends, and they're more willing to 598 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: trade and um just a collection of players, um figuring 599 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: out what to do with them. It's gonna be fun 600 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: to watch how team building evolves over the next few years. Yeah, 601 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: I absolutely believe it will change. And I think the 602 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: out of the box thinking. You talk about position list stuff, 603 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: people being aggressive with the trade market, Uh, just on 604 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: and on different ways to build your team. Obviously it 605 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: starts with copying. The two teams are in the Super Bowl. 606 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: We absolutely will see uh their imprint all some of 607 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: these other teams when it comes to design a diffranchises. 608 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: Oh Man, do we get like the next three months 609 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: to talk about this? Oh? I mean this is a 610 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: fun part. Now, this is this is a little draft time.
