00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the forty Niners You've Got Mail podcast

2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: presented by man Scaped. This week, I am joined by

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: Jennifer lee Chan, reporter for NBC Sports Bay Area. Very

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: familiar with this team. She knows this front office, she

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: knows this locker room really well, and I feel like

6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: she has a good grasp on what the forty Niners

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: are kind of dealing with right now. But Jen, before

8
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: we get into the forty Niners, how are you? How

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: are things in your world? They're good. I'm excited to

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: go Chicago. It's one of my favorite cities, so that

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: will be this weekend. Yeah, and I think it's just

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: the right time where it's to get a little bit

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: of fall field but not too cold. We're freezing to

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: death on the field, So I think it'll be fun,

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: great city and we get a little Halloween trip. Yeah.

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I feel like for the last couple of years, I'm

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: trying to remember what we did in team. Was a

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: weird year, but was a weird year. But twenty nineteen,

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: I think that was the game we were in Arizona

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: for that Halloween treat that we all got to see there.

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: But it seems like tend to be on the road

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: this time of year. But nonetheless, I was speaking with

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: your coworker voice of the forty Niners, Greg Popa, and

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: he said he's actually disappointed in the weather in Chicago

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: this week. He said, he wants it colder. This is

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: too warm, it's too his words, too hot for Chicago.

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Now listen, I don't want to if this is not

28
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: about me, Um, I am not on that field. I

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: am not taking any down, taking any snaps, but personally

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: I would prefer it to be a smidge warmer. Um.

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: But I guess it's pretty good football weather, right, I mean,

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: we had really crazy weather last week, So can we

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: have a little bit of break, I mean like cold,

34
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: but not like freezing. I'm good with it. I'm happy

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of change, you know, a

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: little bit of the seasons. But we don't need to

37
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: have crazy in this I don't need to snow yet.

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: I think forgot totally agree with that. Speaking of that

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: monsoon of a game, not necessarily what we saw on

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: the field, because we have enough to that we well

41
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: cover with that one. But have you ever been a

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: part of a game that that just poured the way

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: that this one did? Well? Remember and was it two

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: Dosen nineteen Washington, d C. Yes, So that one was

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: a crazy one where guys are sliding across the field

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: and that field was just an awful condition. So there

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: was that one. That one was really crazy, and then

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore was pouring rain as well. So those two rain games,

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: those are pretty crazy. Not as windy as what we

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: saw at Levi's, but definitely rainy. Her being underneath uh

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: an umbrella for our pregame show with with Matt Malko

52
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, our feet are soaked through,

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: and so it was just squishy. And where they had

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: us in the corner of the field is like there

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: was standing water. So at least we didn't have that

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: at Levi's. But it was much windier there than it

57
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: was at the other two places. And I remember kind

58
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: of looking on Twitter and I saw some people talking about,

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the field like and they were kind

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: of criticizing. And I go back to that Washington game,

61
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: and when I tell you it was a muddy mess,

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: I've never witnessed um a game like that, I guess

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: firsthand being there, but I feel like, for the most part,

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: given the conditions, Levi stadium was a drastic difference than

65
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: what we saw back in d C. But UM chumping

66
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: kind of into the forty Niners and what they're dealing with.

67
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: They're having a tough go right now. UM dropping forth

68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: straight not something that if you would have talked to

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: I think any of us UM at the beginning of

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: the season, we would have ever thought we would have

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: seen the forty Niners sitting where they are right now

72
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: with their record dropping four straight games. But what do

73
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: you make of these last few weeks? I mean, going

74
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: back to where things started changing? In Week three? That

75
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay game was a winnable game for the forty

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: Niners besides thirty seven seconds left in the game and

77
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers doing Aaron Rodgers things. And then you have

78
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: Seattle where they dominated in the stat sheets, and then

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: you have Arizona and you're being able to match up

80
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: with one of the best offenses in the league. And

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: then last week, I don't know if we want to

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: blame the elements or maybe just something wasn't clicking for

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: this forty Niners team, which we'll get into in a bit,

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: But how do you kind of assess what we've seen

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: over these last few weeks. You know, it shows that

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: they have the ability to win games, but they just

87
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: can't finish. I mean all of these games were one

88
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: score games, you know, minus the Colts game, but you

89
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: know it was within range for so long. All these

90
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: games were very close. Really when you look at the stats,

91
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: when you look at you know, could they have come back.

92
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: They could have, but it's taking it to that next level.

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: And I think what it is about this team, and

94
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: while it's not super young, it's it's a lot of

95
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: players that don't have a whole lot of experience winning games.

96
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: And I you know, they talk about that championship mentality.

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of players that are here from two

98
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: as a nine team, but there's also a lot of

99
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: players that aren't. It's a different team, and you know,

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: I think part of the fan angst about everything is

101
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: they think that to those nineteen the super Bowl is

102
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: only two years ago, which is true, it's not that long,

103
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: but it's so hard to win in the NFL, and

104
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: you do have so many different players now than you

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: did then. I think you look at especially guys like

106
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, who made such a huge difference with the

107
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: wide receiver room, they don't have that lead guy. Debo's

108
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: playing great, but he's not Emmanuel Sanders, who is mature

109
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: and has tons of experience, and you know, I mean

110
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: he changed that wide receiver room and to have that

111
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: element as one of your top skill players makes a

112
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: huge difference. And you know, you've got a lot of

113
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: less experience and a lot of other positions and as well.

114
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: So well, it's you know, I think the expectations are

115
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: so high, which makes people get angry with you know,

116
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo making mistakes, maybe Kyle Shanahan Martin making the

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: best calls. So there's way more angst amongst the fan

118
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: base then I think there would have been a while

119
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: back now when remember when Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch

120
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,559
Speaker 1: took over the same thing, right, they were so close

121
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: and so many games that everybody was still vacient, And

122
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: now no one has any patience, which is kind of crazy. Yeah,

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: it's true, It's totally true. Um, but I guess a

124
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: lot of that does come with being two years removed

125
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: from being in the Super Bowl. And then you consider

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: and the number of injuries that the team just had

127
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: to deal with us So you kind of write that

128
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: year off, but I think a lot of people expected

129
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: this team to be able to pick up where they

130
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: left off in and you make a fantastic point that

131
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are young, a lot of

132
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: them don't have of that winning experience. Um And one

133
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: thing that really stands out to me is that you're

134
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: missing a lot of those veteran leaders that you had

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: in teen. There's no longer that Joe Staley, there's no

136
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: longer Richard Sherman, um Manuel Sanders, some of these guys

137
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: that have been in the league for a while that

138
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: have kind of gone through the ebbs and flows, the

139
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: guys that know how to win, guys that have been

140
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: to championship games. So I that's one thing that also

141
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: stands out when I look at this forty Niners team

142
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: right now, and it's a lot of young guys that

143
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: are figuring it out. And yes, Debo has been here

144
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: now going into his third season and and he's taking

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: steps forward, but it's it's so tough because you he's

146
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: doing so well, but it's I feel like this team

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: is trying, to lack of a better term, but they're

148
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: trying to catch up and get to where they're trying

149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: to be, but they're just missing a lot of that

150
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: better in the lead dr ship. Not to take anything

151
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: away from the leaders that are on the team, US

152
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: forget you know, one of the top players on the

153
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: team has been it has been on Ir Georgia. That's

154
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: a huge Yeah, absolutely, and I mean, how did things

155
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: change when he comes back? Kyle Shanahan UH did talk

156
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: to the media. He's hopeful that he does return ahead

157
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: of week nine. UM. Also another name, Dre Green. While

158
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 1: you're getting some of these guys back, but UM, it'll

159
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how this team UH is able

160
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: to bounce back and maybe hopefully find their groove. UM

161
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: going into week eight of the season. But when we

162
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: look at these last four games, I feel like there's

163
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: been a number of areas of improvement that this team

164
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: can focus on. UM. You look at the penalties, you

165
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: look at uh their third downs, how they've been able

166
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: to convert on about thirty percent of third downs and

167
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: it's in the bottom quarter of the league where they're

168
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: at right now. But I could kind of go on

169
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: with that. But looking at just kind of the areas

170
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: that this team has been struggling with, what strikes you

171
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: as the most concerning the inability to rely on the

172
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: running game. That's what they're he was in two thousand nineteen,

173
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that they have been inconsistent in it,

174
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: they've been able to do it, so you know they

175
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: have the potential. When Elijah Mitchell ran all the way

176
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: down the field and that first series versus the Cults,

177
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, they've got it back, they've got it,

178
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. And then they go three

179
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: and out in like so many times that you can't

180
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: even count, and then you're like, oh, maybe they don't

181
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: have it. So, you know, Kyle Shannion talked about all

182
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: it's the little things that make those plays work. And

183
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: when they're firing and it's it's scripted, and I think

184
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: they know what's coming. I think they do so much better.

185
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: But then when they get into the second series or

186
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: the third, it doesn't seem like they're not that they're

187
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: not as prepared. Maybe it's they're not as mentally prepared.

188
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like it's all cylinders firing at

189
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: the same time, or maybe you know, I don't know

190
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: what it is, but they get past that first scripted

191
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: section and they're unable to keep the focus in and

192
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: have attention to detail and do every little thing, and

193
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: you know it can be. It can mean cutting around

194
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: short of foot. It can be you know, someone missing

195
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: a block or not holding a block long enough so

196
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: that Jimmy has enough time or whoever is back there

197
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: has enough time to get to where they're supposed to be.

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: Maybe someone misses block on the offensive line. It's just

199
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: all those little things, and you realize when with Kyle Shanahan,

200
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: he's such a technician with the offense that those little

201
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: things everything working together. He says a lot of times,

202
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: seventy five year touchdown, But when those things don't click

203
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: and don't work, it's they can be at a standstill,

204
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: which we saw in several series versus Coals where there

205
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: weren't three and out countless times. I go back, as

206
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: you were saying it, I go back to this team

207
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: starting off so fast and so hot, and you're like,

208
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: all right, this is it. They're finding their groove because

209
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: I think we saw that on Sunday and we've seen

210
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: it in previous weeks too, And I feel like you're

211
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: spot on with at least what I've been able to

212
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: see and what many of us have been able to

213
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: see is that once you go beyond that script, that's

214
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: when things kind of you're like, okay, hey, what happened?

215
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Things were working, you know, those first couple of drives,

216
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: and now what's going on? But one thing you brought up,

217
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, guys being able to hold their blocks and um,

218
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, being able to sustain these drives and not

219
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: be stagnant. But one thing that's also been kind of

220
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: shooting this team in the foot is they've been getting

221
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: in their own way with penalties. And this isn't just

222
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, offensive holding penalties, but we're seeing these past

223
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: interference penalties. Uh So, now I think it's the perfect

224
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: time to throw in a question. I have Richard Love

225
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: from Sacramento. He said, it appears that at least the

226
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: last three games appear to be from those losses appear

227
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: to be from penalties because of past interference type of plays.

228
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: What is being done to stop this from continuing? How

229
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: is the team looking to rectify this? Well, thankfully, Kyle

230
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: Shanahan talked about that on Wednesday, talking about how they're

231
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: going to do different drills. They are not going to

232
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: work on footwork with the secondary They are going to

233
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: work on tossing balls up in the air, making sure

234
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: they're tracking it the right way and making sure they're

235
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: not creating those defensive past interference penalties. And I think

236
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: that he also explained how, Okay, if you get beat,

237
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: you kind of have to do it like it is

238
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: the last resort. But if you're beat, like Jaquasky Tart

239
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: was on that one play, kind of had to do it.

240
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's a touchdown. So either gat the penalty, stop

241
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: the touchdown, give the guys a chance, which has happened

242
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: the defense has done well, So it's either that. But

243
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: you also they need to get their bodies in the

244
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: right position, need to turn aroun and look for the ball.

245
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: But they also that means they have to be in

246
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time to be able

247
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: to do that. So it's it's technique and at least

248
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: he I think, you know, is addressing it. They're gonna

249
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: work on it, I would guess a lot this week,

250
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna focus on it as well

251
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: when they do one on ones on Thursdays. Obviously we

252
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: don't get to watch that unfortunately, but uh, I can

253
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: see that being a point of emphasis all week. Manscape

254
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,480

258
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean I get a lot of these questions where

259
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: people are just like, why did they keep doing this?

260
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: They need to do this, and and in the grand

261
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: scheme of things, of course, the team doesn't want all

262
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: of these penalties, and of course, you know, perfecting you know,

263
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: the game and perfecting their game plan is what the

264
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: team is ultimately trying to do. But I love the

265
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: fact that you brought up what Kyle said about some

266
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: of these penalties, in particular that Chaklasky tart Uh pass

267
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: interference play where basically if he doesn't create that penalty,

268
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: that's a touchdown. And so in doing that in those situations,

269
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're giving your defense an opportunity. Yes, you're

270
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: giving up some yards and yes a fresh set of

271
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: downs here, but you're giving your defense an opportunity to

272
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: try to stop them rather than giving them to go

273
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown. So I'm glad you brought that up, But

274
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: now I want to jump to the other side of

275
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: the ball. Uh. We got to talk about the news

276
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: that continues to swirl around this forty Niners team ever

277
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: since they jumped up nine spots in the draft. Um

278
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: this quarterback dynamic. So we learned back on Monday that

279
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy is the forty Niners guy going into Week eight

280
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: against the Bears. Meanwhile, Trey Lance, he made his return

281
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: in practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion. He's coming

282
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: off of that injury. But looking back at what we've

283
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: learned from Kyle, how do you see the forty Niners

284
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: proceeding heading into Sunday. I think it's honestly Jimmy Garoppolo's job.

285
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: And while that makes a ton of a certain side

286
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: of the fan base very upset, I think it's the

287
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: best thing at this point. Trey Lance didn't practice for

288
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: two weeks. He is limited. It was limited on Wednesday.

289
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that's going to be limited on

290
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: Thursday as well. They're just gonna be careful with him.

291
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: You spent that much in the draft on him. The

292
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: last thing you want to do is when he's got

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: an injury, is to throw him back out there and

294
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: have him reaggravated and make it worse. I mean, so

295
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: let's all think about the fact that this is an investment. Yes,

296
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: you want to win, but also let's not I mean,

297
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: he's already injured. Let's not throw him out there and

298
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: have him be subject to potential worse injuries because he's

299
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: not quite right. So I think that you know, Jimmy

300
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Garoppolo is healthier at this point. I think everybody's dingmed

301
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: up at this point in the season, But Jimmy's healthier.

302
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: He also has more command of the offense, He has

303
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: more experience. Yes, he had a horrible game against the Colts,

304
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: but really and even admitted the worst game that he's

305
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: seen from Jimmy Garoppolo. But the damage it could do

306
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: to Tray Lance, not just in the fact that he's

307
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: a rookie in a full speed game that hasn't and

308
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: he hasn't played that much recently, but he's also not

309
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: a hundred percent. So you don't want to put a

310
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: lane duck out there either. Grant and I get it.

311
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I get the excitement that everybody wants to see train Lan.

312
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: You're going to see him if you're gonna understand, you're

313
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: not going to change your team. You are going to

314
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: see this quarterback play. It might not be as much

315
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: this year, but he's gonna play. He's not going anywhere.

316
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: He's going to play. He is going to win a

317
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: ton of games for the point inners, you know, as

318
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: he spends his career here. But let's have a little patience.

319
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: He is young, he is knew he is did not

320
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: play a lot last year. I get the excitement, but

321
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: I got accused on social media being a Jimmy Garoppolo

322
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: lover and that I should get to know Trey Lance.

323
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I get it. I like both of them, but really

324
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: the best person for the job right now, and he

325
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: gave is Jimmy Garoppolo. That was a fantastic way of

326
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: explaining that, Kyle said. He said, Trey Lance is the future.

327
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: He will at some point be the face of the franchise.

328
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: He will be the one under sittinger leading this team.

329
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: But at this exact moment, Jimmy Garoppolo gives is the

330
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: best chance to win, not only because of his experience

331
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: but also healthwise. You do not want to throw Tray

332
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: out there just to throw him out there. Uh, And

333
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: reaggravate or anything could happen, especially coming off of that injury.

334
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: But speaking of injury, Jennifer, I've gotten a ton of questions.

335
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people are really concerned with what's going

336
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: on with the forty Niners guys that are coming back

337
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: from injury. UM, So since we're on offense, I'll stick

338
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: with this one. Uh. We got a question from Colin

339
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: Taylor out in the UK listening to the You Got

340
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Male podcast. I'll appreciate you listening, but he said Jalen

341
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: Moore seemed to play well on Sunday Night, but no

342
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: one can really replace Trent Williams, which I believe is

343
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: very accurate. So he wants to know can we expect

344
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Trent Williams back this week? I think there's still a

345
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: question marks surrounding this. I don't think that myself for

346
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Jennifer have this exact answer, But from what you've learned

347
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: from Kyle Shanahan this week, what's your thoughts on this

348
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Trent Williams situation. I think it really depends on Thursday

349
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: and Friday. So Thursday he's limited. I would say that's

350
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: trending towards him playing on Sunday. The fact that he

351
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: didn't practice on Wednesday makes me a little more nervous

352
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: that he's not going to be ready for Sunday. But

353
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: I would bet that he travels with the team just

354
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: in case he feels good enough to be able to play.

355
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: I think they'll always leave that option open for him

356
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: because he is such a huge difference maker on the

357
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: offensive mine. I also, again, if he's not a percent,

358
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: do maybe hold him back this week when it's a

359
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: game that's not against a team that's you know, a

360
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: team that you really need him. Yes, you always need him,

361
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: but you know the Bears have not been the best

362
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: Khalil mac might not be playing. So if that is

363
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: the case, let trans Williams heal up and be ready

364
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: for the next week. So that's a possibility, but it

365
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: just depends on how things go the rest of the week,

366
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: and I think we'll know by how his participation practices. Yeah. Uh,

367
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: And just a little back information on that trut Williams.

368
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: He was originally dealing with that elbow injury and then

369
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: in Week five against the Cardinals was dealing with a

370
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: little bit of an ankle injury. After the buy came

371
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: back on Monday and reaggravated that a little bit, so

372
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: missed last week and uh still question marks surrounding he's availability.

373
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: I know Kyle Shanahan said to some extent last week

374
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: that if Trent can go, he will go, and that's

375
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: why he was ruled as doubtful not out last week,

376
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 1: so there was always still that potential. I think it's

377
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the same thing this week. Like Jennifer said,

378
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: I think he's going to travel with the team and

379
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: he'll have that option depending on how he feels. So

380
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: I think we'll all be on standby waiting to get

381
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: the news on Trent, and especially some positive news if

382
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: he does return to practice in some capacity this week.

383
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: Leonard Medina wants to know what's the injury update on

384
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: d Board. D Ford has concussion. He's in the protocol

385
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: along with disease al Shire and it just kind of

386
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: depends how they test out this week. Hopefully it would

387
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: be the pass. There's been some players who bounce back

388
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: very quickly, and there's some players were concussion lingers. I've

389
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: had one no funds and I've also spoken to athletes

390
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: who have gotten them where they have lasted. The effects

391
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: have lasted for months, so It just kind of depends

392
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: on how there brain responds and heels to what happened

393
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: to them to the trauma. Yeah, I talked to There's

394
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: a player that I was friends with and he had

395
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: a concussion and six months later he was on the beach.

396
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm just kinda hang out with this family and then

397
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: the fog lifted. He's like, oh my gosh, I didn't

398
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: realize that I was living for the last six months.

399
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: So they're scary. So we hope that both of those

400
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: players cleared the protocol, but also do it in for

401
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: real because it's scary. Yeah. Absolutely. Wow. Um, As we

402
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: continue on our our questions of guys, returned Tom Marks

403
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: from Roseville. I have a good friend that lives in Roseville.

404
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Dre Greenlaw and Bobby Gold are two injuries that aren't

405
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: talked about much. What is their status? I know Kyle

406
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about Dre on Wednesday, But what

407
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: do you have for us on those two? Yeah, we

408
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything about Robbie Gould. I can't remember when

409
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: his window opens because his injury happened a couple of

410
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: weeks ago against Seattle, so he that game he was active,

411
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: So I that would make Arizona his first week, first

412
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: game he missed um and then Indianapolis will be his second,

413
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: and then this week will be his third. So I

414
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: think if my math serves me right, which I'm not

415
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: that great at it, but it would be going into

416
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: week nine that you could get him back if he

417
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: is ready to return. M If he is, Yeah, we

418
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen him, haven't heard anything about him, so I think,

419
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, once his window is open, we'll we'll get

420
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: more word on that. Dre Greenlaw has an outside chance

421
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: to practice this week, but most likely to be the

422
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: next week. Um. Good thing is that George Kittle should

423
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: be just about ready to come back, and they definitely

424
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: need him on the offense. Yeah. Absolutely, They can definitely

425
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: use a little boost offensively with George's return. And I

426
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: was actually when I was chatting with Greg Pop I

427
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: brought him up earlier. We're looking at some of the

428
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: guys who have been contributors in the next highest guy

429
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: on offense with George obviously on I R has been

430
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu And I think if Brandon I just has

431
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe eight receptions for ninety six yards somewhere around there,

432
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: so forty Niners will definitely need some help, especially with

433
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: their past catchers, and I think George Kittle is the

434
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: guy that can definitely help out this offense. All right,

435
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: I think we're done with all of our injury questions.

436
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: Hopefully that answered everyone. But as we begin to wrap

437
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: this up a little bit, all right, we gate forty

438
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Niners heading to Chicago. I would love to get your

439
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: thoughts on this game. Do you see this as a

440
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: game that the forty Niners can bounce back? How do

441
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: you see them matching up with Chicago? What's your thoughts

442
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: on Justin Fields. I just want your overall assessment of

443
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: this game and what you expect out of this forty

444
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: Niners team. From what they have shown over the past

445
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: six games, this is a winnable game. And you know

446
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: a lot of their games have been winnable, but really

447
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: this one especially, I would say all of them have

448
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: been winnable. But if you look at I think they're

449
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: better than their stats. The Bears are. But I think

450
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of points of opportunity for the foreigners

451
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: take advantage. If Khalil mac does not play. I think

452
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: that play is huge in the foreigners favor. I also

453
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: think that the fact that Justin Field's rookie quarterback parallel,

454
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: He's been having some ups and downs, which is what

455
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: you would see if Filiance was back there. Now you

456
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: know they don't have they haven't been great in the

457
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: running game. They haven't been great. Um the offense. The

458
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: running game is and stronger, but really when you look

459
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: at their offense, I think it's something where the Fordners

460
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: can take advantage if they play without mistakes, if they

461
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: play you know, without mistakes, but with less mistakes. Yeah,

462
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: they definitely have an opportunity to come out of Chicago.

468
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: fantastic opportunity for this forty Niners team, in particular at

469
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: this forty Niners defensive line, to put up a better

470
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: performance than they did against Indianapolis, which I will say

471
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: that India has one of the best old lines in

472
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. And I know the forty Niners are struggling

473
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: to kind of generate a past rush, but I think

474
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: this is a game that you can really see, UM,

475
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: forty Niners put pressure on justin fields in this game. UM.

476
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they're eager to do that. UM. But

477
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: all right, the last question, which I feel like is

478
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: the biggest, and I think a lot of fans are

479
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: very intrigued with this one. Uh. Looking at where the

480
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: forty Niners are right now, you're two and four, Um,

481
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: your third place in your division. Um, you're kind of

482
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: looking up at the postseason. UM. I know it's like

483
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: weird to talk about that when you're not even into

484
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: Week eight yet, but you're essentially as of right now

485
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: about a game maybe two out of that seventh spot

486
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: in the post season. When you look at the big picture,

487
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: not saying that it's that easy to just win a game,

488
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: but you also have to face these teams like the

489
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: Bears and the Vikings, and uh, it's a couple of

490
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: guys up there. But do you think that this season

491
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: is salvageable looking at this for talent that the forty

492
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: Niners have on their roster, looking at the rest of

493
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: their schedule, is this season salvageable? Where the forty niners

494
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: are right now, it's going to be tough, but well

495
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: it's only they've only played six games. There's seventeen this year,

496
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: so there is time, There is a chance to turn

497
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: it around. You never know what can happen. So of course,

498
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean until they're like Kyle Shanhand said, until they're

499
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: completely eliminated, which is going to be a long time.

500
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: That's when you maybe start putting a lot of rookies

501
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: in there and playing them for experience. But that's not

502
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: going to happen now. So you know, one, teams that

503
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: have won a lot of games could turn around and

504
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: start losing a bunch of games. So you never know

505
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You know, Um, the foreigners have a

506
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: lot of potential on the roster, They have a lot

507
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: of talent, They have a lot of potential if they

508
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: can just pull it together and get into their groove.

509
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: There's always a chance, right, Yeah, there's a chance. So

510
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: saying there's a chance, um, I look at one of

511
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: the teams that kind of comes to mind as we

512
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: talk about this is I feel like was it last

513
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: year or else the year prior? But I remember Seattle

514
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: got off to a really rocky start, and then it

515
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: was into that second half of the season, it was

516
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: their defense. And into that second half of the season,

517
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: it's like that defense kicked into overdrive and kind of

518
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: was punching their way, uh near the top of the

519
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: NFC West. I can't I think they won the division

520
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: last year was with them or the Rams, I can't remember.

521
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: I try to forget much of But UM, I say

522
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: that basically to say that, UM, you know, it might

523
00:28:54,360 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: have been a yeah, it might have been a sluggish

524
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: start for the forty Niners, but I think they need

525
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: that that really solid win. And when I say solid win,

526
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: I say that because I don't know why, and I

527
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel the same way, and maybe

528
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: you guys listening to But Week one in Week two,

529
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: despite getting those wins didn't really feel like wins. I'm

530
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: not sure if it was because of some of the

531
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: injuries the forty Niners had to deal with. I'm not

532
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: sure if it's because, you know, maybe week when the

533
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Lions came back and they were scratching, you know, their

534
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: way through that Philly game. But those didn't really feel

535
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: like wins. So I'm if this team can get that

536
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: convincing win, um, where they're just firing on all sides

537
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: of the ball. Maybe that can kind of jump start

538
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: this team, and I hope that begins in week eight,

539
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: especially if they can go on a roll, because you've

540
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: got Arizona come into town and that's not going to

541
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: be a cake walk for the forty Niners. So you

542
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: never know, Jennifer, you're saying, at chance, there is a chance.

543
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: But with that that will do it for are you've

544
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: got mail? Podcast? Uh? Jennifer lee Chan with NBC Sports

545
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: Bay Area. I appreciate you stopping by chatting a little

546
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: forty Niners, maybe putting a little bit of our minds

547
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: at ease with what the team is going with. But um,

548
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: before I let you go, give me a good prediction

549
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: for the weekend. I think that's a fun way to

550
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: end this. Give me a good prediction. While you think

551
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: I'll go, I'll go first my bold. It's not of bold,

552
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: but my prediction. I'm saying at least two sex for

553
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. Like that. I think I think the forty

554
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: Niners D line is better than Chicago's OH line. Um,

555
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: so there's mine. I like that. I also I'm gonna

556
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: say that Elijah Mitchell has another game over a hundred yards.

557
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. I like that a lot.

558
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: My fantasy team may or may not like that a

559
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: lot as well. But that's mettle here. But with that, Jed,

560
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Stop and buy a safe travels to Chicago,

561
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: and I'll catch you on game day. Okay, sounds good
