9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: two very important questions. We're gonna start off with the

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: first one. Um, October ten was your birthday? Yeah, you

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: didn't ask what a year I was for. No, we're

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: not gonna ask that, and we're not gonna ask that.

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: How was the birthday? I know you want to finish

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: off a birthday with the win, but how was the birthday?

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: October ten was the day of the Arizona game, so

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't great. It was fine. I actually went out

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: with friends the night before, UM and I went to

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: watch the Giants Dodgers playoff game and there were tables

19
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: and tables with forty Niner fans, so I wind up

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: talking more about So that was fun. I had to

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: work on my birthday Ken, it seems like all my

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: life and uh, I'm not going to tell you the year,

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: but I've had a few birthdays and after like you know,

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: maybe like your you kind of don't you don't want

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: to celebrate it much. Um, I haven't even opened my

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: gifts yet. I have not opened my gift ship because

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: I as soon as I got back from Arizona with

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Giants played two days, came right here from the radio

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: show to do a S Pop do your podcast. So

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: maybe when we leave here, I'll give you a better

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: answer on my birthday turned out based on what I

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: got as far as merchandise and gifts for me, because

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. What was on your birthday list?

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm I'm probably easy to buy four and

35
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: also difficult to remember. I knew I'm gonna go out

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: and buy it myself, but I'm really a simple person.

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't need a whole lot, So I think I

38
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: got a lot of clothes. I think I got a

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: lot because I gotta kick it up with you on

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: Ask Pop and when granted the show, you know, we

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: just were like sweats and shorts and t SUTs. Now

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: you gotta take it up but it comes into like

43
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: a ball god or a cocktail dread every show, so

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm like just gone to keep up with I think

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: I think I went into a few events, clothing stories hopefully,

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: so good, good good. You said you were at some

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: bars and you're watching the games, But how often are

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: people like, oh my gosh, that's great. Yeah. I mean

49
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: I've been doing this a long time for a variety

50
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: of sports. But I love that. You know, sometimes what

51
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: I do, I get were so insulated from what it's

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: all about. Um, it's fun to remember why we do

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: this and what we do it for is the fans

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: and the people that are that love it. And it

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: could be easy, like go on the road, and you

56
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: know there are trips. I never leave the bus, the hotel,

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: the stadium. You never go outside, you never interact with people.

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: But a city like Arizona on a Saturday night when

59
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: it's my birthday the next day, I've already ready for

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: the game. Uh. It was great, and it was great

61
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: being around so many forty Niner fans and uh, they've

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: been wonderful to me, you know, since I've made the transition.

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: So it's fun and it's I think it's uh I'm

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: not gonna say it's necessary, but you need to remember

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the perspective of why we did this to start with,

66
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: because we're all fans. We just you know, I got

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: a better seat. Now some stadiums, I got a worse seat.

68
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: But that I love it and it's um people are

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: always so kind. The problem is they find out at

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: your birthday they want to buy a few birthdays. I

71
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: do have to get up. But overall, it was fun

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: and it was it's it's so great to be around

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: when you go. You know, we go on the road,

74
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: no matter where. It's could be New Orleans, it was Philadelphia.

75
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm walking around the streets of Philly down Broad Street,

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: Mary Line and there's so many fans. Man, no matter

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: where we go on the road, it's a it's a party.

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Now you gotta pictures. I'm looking Ford to Chicago. I

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: had to talk about that's the one that we're gonna

80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: have a little fun. I will say forty Niners fans,

81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: they travel so well, and it takes me back to

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: that season. Um In we started off in Tampa Bay

83
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: and then we went to Cincinnati and at a moment

84
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: it actually felt like a home game for the forty

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Niners and same even in Arizona. I know everybody's in red,

86
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: but walking down the streets, you see nothing but forty

87
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Niners jerseys. At the airport on my flight, everybody you

88
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: see a lot of forty Niners fans. So it's really

89
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: fun just to see the faithful and get out there

90
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: on those road trips. But now it's bye week and

91
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys will not all guys. Some people

92
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: are staying back at the facility, but some guys got

93
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: to get a couple of days off. Maybe some got

94
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: to visit family. But what's your bye week plans? Great, Papa,

95
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: depends on how the baseball game goes Thursday night. So

96
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna make any plans because the

97
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: vibe is the Giants will win Game five. I'm speaking

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: to Giant fans here, so I'm not gonna look you

99
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: in the eye. She's wearing she's wearing like a Mookie

100
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Betch jersey. They're doing this. She's got like a fifty

101
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: Bets jersey. Uh uh. So it will depend on if

102
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: the if, if the Giants something, I'm gonna say this,

103
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: but if the baseball season should abruptly unpredictably end, then

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: I will have Friday Saturday Sunday also, I'll adjust, but

105
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm planning on Game one of the Nationally Championship Series

106
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: being on Saturday, Games two of the Nationally Championship Series

107
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: being on Sunday. You know what a real conflict would

108
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: be is that And obviously to the forty night a game.

109
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: But if the Giant when Wild Giants beat the Dgers

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: and advance on Game seven on the National Championship Series

111
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: is Sunday, October, same night that Carson went Springs and

112
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: the Forest Buck, it's cool. So but I'm saying Giants

113
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: beat the Dodgers and beat the Braves in five or six,

114
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: now we won't have that conflict. But my bye week

115
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: right now, it's kind of like a fork in the road.

116
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: It's a bye you know, I could go left or right,

117
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: and that depends on the outcome of the of the

118
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: baseball game. Right and right now you're kind of stuck

119
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of that fork in the road. But

120
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: at least you get a little free time, uh not

121
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: preparing for that next game. I think you're one of

122
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: those people that I mean, obviously the guys on the

123
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: field do, but you're also one of those people who

124
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: could probably benefit from later by after the baseball season. Yeah, yeah,

125
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: but I could. I mean I could use it now

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: because you know, say we had a game on Sunday

127
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: and the Giants are playing on Saturday. I'd rather than out,

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: I'd rather that time. Yeah, I'll take it whenever I

129
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: can get it. To be honest with you, um, the

130
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: fact that the baseball season is extending a little bit

131
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: into the bye week. I may not get a full bye,

132
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: but I'm fine. I don't, you know. I like working

133
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: and I need a few hours off. I don't need

134
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: a few days weeks off. So fine. That's where Greg

135
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: and I differ, But I digress. All Right, you aren't

136
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: taking her by. I'm taking my bye. I'm taking right

137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: out of here. Thank you, thank you. But speaking of

138
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: working hard, forty nine is working hard to bounce back

139
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: from a three game losing streak. Now, this is not

140
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: common for the forty Niners, at least, I mean I'm

141
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: not counting, But when we think about that team, I

142
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of people kind of draw those parallels,

143
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: and I think we're already starting to some people starting

144
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: to look for that they're hovering over that panic button

145
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: just five games into the season, but I want to

146
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: just since it's so fresh and it's top of mine.

147
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Going back two week five against Arizona, this is an undefeated,

148
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: undefeated team. This is a team with a lot of weapons.

149
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Looking at what they were able to do this offseason,

150
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: and forty Niners just about able to go toe to

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: toe with this team, the top team in the NFC

152
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: right now. What did you make of the forty Niners performance? Uh,

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: they could have won the game, but they didn't win

154
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: the game. And uh, I think Arizona controlled the game.

155
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: You know, there were some statistical elements of it where

156
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: the forty Niners were superior. Um, there are things they've

157
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: got to work on. They when they to me, where

158
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: I judge an offense really is the conversion rate on

159
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: third down and specifically quarterback playing Jimmy and was money

160
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: on third down and you've got to convert third downs. Uh,

161
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, down a distance, if you get into a

162
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: lot of third longs, they're hard to convert. But we're

163
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: just not converting third downs. They didn't convert them. Going

164
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: back the week before against Seattle, they were jim he

165
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: was one for six when he was in and Trey

166
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: was one for eight. That's not good enough. And then

167
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: when you're you know, I think it's frustrating for Kyle

168
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: as as the play designer, play caller with a high

169
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: expectation for the offense, even though they've had some profound

170
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: injuries and spots that if you're not converting on third down,

171
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: hell let's let's go forward on fourth down. And I've

172
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: I've seen Kyle awake. I think he's calling plays is

173
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: he is calling on third down to set himself up

174
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: to convert on fourth down? So um, and there was

175
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: just too many failures on third down which led to

176
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: risk taking on fourth down. And the analytics are fascinating.

177
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: I wish I could actually get my hands on the

178
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: what they actually show. But we're seeing in football, like

179
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: the other sports, the analytics and basketball drive that sport.

180
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: You know, three is obviously better than a two. The best,

181
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, getting fouled and going to the free throw

182
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: line is really what you want is to free throws

183
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: from a great free throw shooter. It goes on and

184
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: on with analytics. They don't want the mid range shot.

185
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: In baseball, Uh, swinging on three oh is common now

186
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: where before nobody did, because you were one pitch away

187
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: from drawing a walk with the three old pitch, maybe

188
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: the best pitch you're gonna get. They don't don't. They

189
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: don't change their approach with two strikes. In baseball, they

190
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: still try to hit a home run. In football, it's

191
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: always been based out when you go to the game,

192
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: what do you hear them? Chance? Third down? Now, well

193
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: they're down is not as important as it used to

194
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: be because we're gonna go for it on four do

195
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: so and it's it. Doug Peterson in Philadelphia. I don't

196
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: want to say he started it, but he They really worked,

197
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: were risk takers a lot that year, and they end

198
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: up putting the Super Bowl. So I'm sure the analytics show.

199
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: Let's say you're on the other team's thirty two yard line. Uh,

200
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: it's four down in three so the punt there you

201
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: run the risk of kicking into the end zone. It's

202
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,119
Speaker 1: a touchback. But these guys are so good. Mitch Wishtowski

203
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: has gotten so good. Michael Dixon in Seattle's Australian born punners.

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: But they also rules rugby style. It's not enough to

205
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: put it inside that you wanted. They put it inside

206
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: the ten. They put it inside the five. Now, if

207
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: you do that, that that significant chump. Their coaches are

208
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: not punning and they're not trying that fifty yard field

209
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: goal now is a very makeable field goal for the

210
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: thirty two yard line. They're not doing that. So the

211
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: analytics clearly show to go for it, but the other

212
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: teams know and so, and to me, that's a real

213
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: flip um. I think this game was lost on third

214
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: down and then having to go forward on fourth down.

215
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: And what I'm describing the game, I I call a

216
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: failure on fourth down a turnover on downs. It's a

217
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: different turnover than we fumbled the snap, But is it

218
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: really what's the difference if you go forward on fourth

219
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: and two and you fumble the snap and they recover,

220
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: or you go forward on fourth and two and you

221
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: don't get the two, it's the same results. So it

222
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: is a turnover. You're not you're not advance in your

223
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: field position with a punt, and you're not trying to

224
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: score with three. So it's just interesting to me. And

225
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, you know, Kyle's being cavalier and reckless

226
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: and what's he doing. The whole league is doing it

227
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: want go back and look at the I know the

228
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: first two weeks of the year, I used to I

229
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: had the status in my in my in my notes.

230
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: It was just way up on how many what coaches

231
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: were doing on fourth down, not kicking the make up

232
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: a field goal, not punning to pick up twenty or

233
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: thirty yards of field position, which is which could be

234
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: two or three first dounds, which flips games. And also

235
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: if you put them down there and they make they

236
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: don't make a first down and they punt back, you're

237
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: right back to where you started. So um, some of

238
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: those elements to it. But I thought, yeah, it was

239
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: a winnable game. But I thought Arizona control of the game,

240
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: and I thought Aritizona deserved to win the game. And

241
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: I thought I Arizona was five and two. Last year

242
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: at one point six and three. Remember they had to

243
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: Hail Murray with DeAndre Hopkins beat Buffalo. Uh, they had

244
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: that Sunday night game when they beat Seattle. They looked

245
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: like a real up and coming team, but they just

246
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: didn't play smart football. And you know what their coach,

247
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: he went forward and found fort down more than anybody

248
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: in football last year. In fact, you remember the game

249
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: in Glendale when they beat him. The next to the

250
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: last Saturday of the year, we stopped them twice on

251
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: two huge FOURT Donalds, which flipped that game. So um,

252
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: but they're different this year. I think that what Steve

253
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: Kaine was able to do. It's a hard year when

254
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: your salary cap is going way down to a hundred

255
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: and seventy five million. We thought it was gonna be

256
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: to ten. How do they get J. J. Watt? How

257
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: did they give him a two year, twenty eight million

258
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: dollar deal? Why did they do it? I wasn't sure

259
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: how good of a player he was. He's a good player,

260
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: smart player. I think at A J. Green and they

261
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: get James Conner from Pittsburgh. How they get Matt Prater.

262
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: They were not a very good field goal kicking team

263
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: at all. Now they get a guy that makes a

264
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: high percentage of his kicks, very accurate and powerful. The

265
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: guy's made a sixty four yarder, He's made a sixty

266
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: two yarder. The guys a good kicker. I think, you

267
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: know these are veterans. They got Rodney Hudson from the Raiders. Um,

268
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: so those are winning players. So my bank takeaway, Yeah,

269
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: they played well enough to win. They didn't. I think

270
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: the better team won the game. And let's just keep

271
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: an eye on Arizona. I thought when the Rams got Stafford,

272
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: that's a problem. That's the best team in this division.

273
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: Their defense is not a strong They clearly lost some

274
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: defensive players from the coordinator to get him. But I

275
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: think Arizona is a really solid football team and there's

276
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: someone that I I don't know if they're gonna fade

277
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: the way they did last year. Manscape is the official

282
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: niners actually see them in three weeks, if I'm not mistaken,

283
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: they have hopefully exactly when Kittle comes back. But it's

284
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot we can actually talk about when we're looking

285
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: at the picture of the NFC West right now. But

286
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: I want to keep it on what we saw Sunday.

287
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: We talked about forty niners and the stat and it's

288
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: an ugly stat, but one of five on fourth downs.

289
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: Um forty Niners go into this game with a new quarterback,

290
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: Tray Lance makes his debut. You got to see him

291
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: from getting a game plan from day one of the

292
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: week of practice throughout Sunday. You're not over here, you know,

293
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: with scout team, you're not playing behind Jimmy Garoppolo. So

294
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: forty ninerskating catering this game plan for tray Lance. But

295
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: numbers and stats aside, and I'm talking about fourth down

296
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: and things like that. What did you see out of

297
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: tray Lance? Did you feel confident in what you saw

298
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: in this It's kind of a small sample size, but

299
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: overall it was remarkably better. It then when he got

300
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: thrown into the game in the second half against Seattle,

301
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: and even in that game he played better as he went.

302
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: You gotta keep in mind it's a basketball term, but

303
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: he is the ultimate one and done. He played one

304
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: year of college football in one game. That's all he played.

305
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: And he did not play at Alabama or Oklahoma. He

306
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: played at a school that wins a lot, They win championships,

307
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: they put great quarterbacks into the NFL, but the level

308
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: of competition he played against is not the same. So

309
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: he's got a lot to learn. But he's a smart guy.

310
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: He's a tireless worker. Physically, he does not There's not

311
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: any part of his game where you think he'll never

312
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: be able to do that. He can do anything. You

313
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: can make any throw. The throw he made to Brandon

314
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: Ayuk on that third and three, I mean, I'd like

315
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: to see uh velocity reading on that. We get it

316
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: for baseball pitchers. How fast was that ball traveling? How

317
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: accurate was he with the ball? He had a number

318
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: of throws like that in the game. I thought his

319
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: pocket presence was way better. The forty nine is at

320
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: a hard time with their defensive front. That was not

321
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Trent William's best game. Mike McGlinchey, Daniel Brunskill, they Alex Mack.

322
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: They had some issues in this game. Arizona's got some

323
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: guys Tandler, Jows, Golden J. J. Watt, Issaiah Simmons. You

324
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: know they can eat you up. So he I thought

325
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: he ran away from a handful of sacks in the game,

326
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, they gave him a little more

327
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: latitude and what he would read in this game. I

328
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: thought with Seattle, a lot of it was first read.

329
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: If it's not there, he just go in this game.

330
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna let you go, but let's go

331
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: one to just go one too, and then if two

332
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: is not there, let's go and then. But a lot

333
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: of times he never even got to one because they

334
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, they just won Arizona's edge guys are interior guys.

335
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: Just one and he's you got to get out of

336
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: there now, and he did. He ran the first play

337
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: of the game. He ran away from pressure, ran for

338
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: the first down, and even on the interception he threw

339
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: to Travis Benjamin to Buddha Baker. I love the whole

340
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: mechanics that play. He was under center. It was a

341
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: counter action play action. That's high level NFL. The guys

342
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: that are trained in college football, they a lot of

343
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: guys can't do that. Alex Smith could not do that

344
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: when he came into the NFL, justin fields playing the shotgun.

345
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: These guys weren't raised that way. Even at Jones Mac

346
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Jones and New England from Alabama, they were raised in

347
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: the gun. Trade was raised under center. That was an

348
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: impressive play. And then when he hit his back foot,

349
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: he got his head around fast. He stepped up into

350
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: the pocket. He just I think because he stepped up

351
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: so much he kind of lost where he was and

352
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: he overshot the target of the linebackers kind of dropped

353
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: on him. But that's a that's a high level veteran play.

354
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: So he's got all the skill. He's just got to

355
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: play a little bit more. I think the ultimate thing

356
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 1: when you judge a quarterback to me is do they

357
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: see it? Do they see the field? We all judge

358
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: them on where they threw the ball and how they

359
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,959
Speaker 1: threw the ball. It's it's a lot of times it's

360
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: where they did not throw the ball. So I think

361
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: ultimately it's does he see the field? Um and Jimmy,

362
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: that's something that obviously Jimmy's played more football, He's gonna

363
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: make choices on where to go with the ball at

364
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: a higher level he should, he's played way more. But

365
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: when Trey gets up to that kind of level that

366
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: he's got the complete skill set. So I was really encouraged.

367
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a hard call to make, really because

368
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: I think you can win with Jimmy. Obviously that's proven,

369
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: and I think if if everybody played better around him,

370
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: he didn't hold as much on offense, uh drops everybody

371
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: had to drop in the game. Even guy like Mohammed

372
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: San never drops the ball. And when he dropped the ball,

373
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: I called I study caught it. Initially, I'm like he

374
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: dropped it. I'm like, I was like shocked. He never

375
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: drops the ball like that. So yeah, I I came

376
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: away really surprised. Not with his ability. His ability is obvious,

377
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: his composure, his pocket presence. I thought, I was a

378
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: really strong first start, and it's the first. You know,

379
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: he should get better every time he takes his snap

380
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: in every game he plays. Yeah, I feel like, um,

381
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: you get that. It's one of those things there where

382
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: he was thrown into the fire essentially, let's say that

383
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: against Seattle, and now I feel like, just kind of

384
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: looking at him, he kind of had an opportunity to

385
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: kind of calm down. It wasn't kind of like that

386
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: adrenaline go. He kind of had that moment, giving given

387
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: a whole week of game planning and being prepared for

388
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: his first start. But uh, forty Niners thought they you know,

389
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: left that game unscathed. But Kyle Shanahan talked to the

390
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: media on Monday, we found out the trail Lance is

391
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: dealing with a knee spring. Just from what you've taken.

392
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: And also this is obviously you've got male fan podcast.

393
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: So we have a question from Harold Mario who wants

394
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: to know how bad is Lance's knee injury and is

395
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: there any chance he can start the next game in

396
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: two weeks and free a forty Niners have this by

397
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: they have that Sunday night game against the Indianapolis Colts.

398
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon said, it's not a long term injury, but

399
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: they really can't assess this until they get back to

400
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: the facility starting next week, so that gives him a week.

401
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: It's a one to two week injury. What do you

402
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: see this as I'm not Dr Pop, I'm not even

403
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: Dr Timothy McAdams, who would be the guy who would

404
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: answer reporting that is uh ortha petis? I have no idea.

405
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: All I know is what Kyle told the media. Uh,

406
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: they checked it out structurally, it's not anything damage there,

407
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: but he's got he's got something going on, a sprain

408
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: or something's going on there. Um, I don't know, you know,

409
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: he can he play against any They're they're on holiday

410
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: right now. But the way the CBA works, um they

411
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: used to work a little bit Wednesday Thursday. Give him

412
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: the weekend off, Kyle game, the whole week off, they're

413
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: all from Wednesday to Sunday. Now he's not off, so

414
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: that's kind of a good thing in the sense that,

415
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: you know, he just turned twenty one. He MutS to

416
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: have a little fun, maybe go watch North Dakota State

417
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: played football, but he because he's heard, he'll be around

418
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: the facility, which Jimmy rehabbing. And that's good because I

419
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: think the more football he immerses himself in and he

420
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: loves it, it's like he would do it anyway, it'll

421
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: help him. But as far as coming out of the

422
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: by I have no idea. I think they'll get back

423
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: on the field for an extra practice on Monday, you know,

424
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: installation days Wednesday leading to the Colts game. Jimmy's got

425
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: a little something going on obviously with the calf. Let's

426
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: just hope one of them can go on the game.

427
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Ideally would be both of them can go in the game.

428
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: And with the way he played uh Trey in this game, Kiana,

429
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if Kyle expanded his role

430
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um They call it Bison personnel when

431
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: they bring them in, and maybe that's been a running

432
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: formation and a running element of the offense. You can

433
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: still do that, but they may open it up a

434
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: little bit and let him let him play a little more.

435
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 1: So I have no idea. They don't know right now.

436
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just gonna be where he's at physically.

437
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: But the good news is it's not a long term

438
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 1: structural damn. It's nothing was torn or an of thing.

439
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: And he should healing time. But how much time is

440
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: needed for him to be completely healed? I have no idea.

441
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: All right, this is really sad because this is not

442
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: doctor Papa, Um, It's just our voice of the forty Niners,

443
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: great Papa, because this is what the question everyone wants.

444
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Leech from Gastonia said, well, Jimmy g be ready

445
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: this Sunday or who will be under center for the

446
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 1: forty Niners? And I'm just gonna jump in really briefly

447
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: and say, uh. Kyle Shannon spoke with the media on

448
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: Monday and he said he feels that backup quarterback Nate Sudfeld,

449
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: he is a pro. The way he approaches the game,

450
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: he would be that next man up. Forty Niners would

451
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: need to backup Uh. If neither Garoppolo or Trey Lance

452
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: can take the field, so that leaves Nate Stutfeld. The

453
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: forty Niners will obviously have to make some moves there.

454
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: But um, since we are not doctors, we don't know

455
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: what's necessarily going on with these guys, and we probably

456
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: won't have an idea until next week. What did you see?

457
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Because you take the field pregames, I get to see

458
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: I get to go to the field. I know you're

459
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: on the field a little bit checking things out, but

460
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: you got to see Jimmy Garoppolo down there working out

461
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: with the athletic trainers. Just give us a little insight.

462
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: What did you see? Well, the way it works in

463
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: the NFL, if you're not gonna play on a game day,

464
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: the players that are injured gonna be inactive. They get

465
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: on the field early with Dustin Perry and the entire

466
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: performance staff and they go through paces just to work

467
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: him out a lot like they do here. When the

468
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: team is practicing, they'll be on a side field getting

469
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: work in because you gotta rehab, you gotta recover, and

470
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: you also gotta get muscle flow, you know, blood flow,

471
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: and so Jimmy, you know, he puts the bands on

472
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: on the knees and he went through a lot of

473
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: the same things he does when he's gonna prepare for

474
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: the game. UM, you know, I was honestly, I watched him,

475
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: but I was really enthralled watching Kyler Murray warm up.

476
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: I had been on the field with him before Keiana.

477
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: I tower over him. He is not five time ten

478
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: and one eight. That guy's five eight. I'm out giant

479
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: compared to him. So I was watching Kyler Moore and

480
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: that when trade came out of the watch tray. But

481
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: I watched Jimmy. I I'd say he had a good

482
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: workout in UM, but to say that he did not

483
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: practice leading up to the Arizona game at all. He

484
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: didn't practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. They knew he was not

485
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: going to play in that game. So will he be

486
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: able off the bye week? I mean, if there was

487
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: a game this Sunday, I think it would be questionable again.

488
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Now will he be able to do it again? Um?

489
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: And he talked about Paine and he got tagged pretty good.

490
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: Carry Hyder hit him. Heard play the game against Seattle

491
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: and Jimmy played through it. But when you watch that

492
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: game back, he had a couple of big hits in

493
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: that game. Unblocked defenders came in and grabbed him around

494
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: the head gear, and he got hit a little bit.

495
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: You could see him noticeably limping. I I didn't notice

496
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: it a lot, you know, maybe one time I said

497
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: on the radio that he got hit pretty hard. But

498
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: when I watched it back with the knowledge that he

499
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: was hurt, obviously didn't play the second half. You could

500
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: see he was noticeably limping. And the main thing with

501
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: him is he played last year hurt the Miami game.

502
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: There is no doubt he was hurt. I felt it

503
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: that way when I was watching in the practice that week,

504
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: that he wasn't completely right and then he got hit

505
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: right away the first play of the game in that game,

506
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: and then he was clearly playing on one leg. There

507
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: were there were times he threw the ball with his

508
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: left legs off the ground. What's going on? And he

509
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: did not play well. That's to his credit. A lot

510
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks would not put themselves in that position because

511
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: they don't want the bad tape for everybody to see

512
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: because they may not know what's what Garoppolos, why is

513
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: he starting on one leg? And then you have to

514
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: be able to protect yourself. If you can't run away

515
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 1: from these highly athletic large men, you're gonna get hurt.

516
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: So that's just that that is, that's something to be

517
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: proud of him for. But also you got to protect

518
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: them from themselves a little bit. So hopefully one will

519
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: be able to go in this game. You'd like to

520
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: have both the up and they're gonna they're gonna get

521
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: the best of care. I mean it's seven now that

522
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: they're heard will be around the facility. It's just constantly

523
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: working and they got so many different things they do

524
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: to try to recover from injury. It's amazing. So if

525
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: anybody can, they will do it. But again, it's just time.

526
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: It's like any other injury or anything in life. When

527
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: it comes to medical it's just at the time. And

528
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: I think we'll know more a week from now. Yeah,

529
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: forday Nighters, well not all the forty niners, but at

530
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: least once working their way back from injury. Jimmy Garoppolo

531
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: Trey Lands in particular, will be hanging out around the

532
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: team facility as the team continues on there by week.

533
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: So I want to jump to another position really briefly,

534
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: um offensively, and we got to see Elijah Mitchell, he

535
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: made his return back to the field. He saw most

536
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: of the grunt work um at running back. But forty

537
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: Niners only totaled twelve carries during the day. And this

538
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: is not counting what Trey Lands did. But looking at

539
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: the running backs and I think Juice and Debo had

540
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: a touch, but just twelve carries. And we know that

541
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, he loves his run game. What did we see?

542
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: What do you have? What's your take on how things

543
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: kind of changed in five? Yeah, I um, I think

544
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: they're they're searching for their identity on offense, but we

545
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: know what their identity is and for some reason, it's

546
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: just not there to build on. And a lot of

547
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: it could be the change in the running back position.

548
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: You don't have Raheem Moster, Jamichael Hasty who was here

549
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: last year. You've got young guys. I think Elijah Mitchell

550
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: is a player though. I mean, there's no doubt the

551
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: guy's got speed. He knows how to run the outside zone.

552
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: He gives it one cotton downhill. If there's daylight there,

553
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: he'll run do it. He'll cut backside if there's not,

554
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: he'll run over people. So I think Elijah Mitchell is

555
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: a quality, quality back. I know Mark Sanchez on the

556
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: game broadcast on TV we had him twice now this year,

557
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: is calling him the mini Moostart. I don't know about that,

558
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: but I do see suddenness to his game. He's a

559
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: good player. But I I would say, and during the

560
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: bye week, what teams do is they self scout. When

561
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: you're trying to prepare for an opponent, you're so locked

562
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: in on how to beat them, and this chess match

563
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: you're playing that you kind of lose who you are.

564
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: I felt this way for a while, And uh, maybe

565
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: it's just a fundamental change. And I think Kevin Trey

566
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: Lance here and adopting a lot more shotgun snaps pistol

567
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: formations where quarterbacks not under center is much more, you know,

568
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: taking the shotgun snap with the back to the side

569
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: or a pistol with the back behind It just changes

570
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: the running game a little bit. To me. When I

571
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: think of Shanahan, I think of a Shanahan system and

572
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: it's Mike, it's Alex Gibbs, who was his old line

573
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: coach for years in Denver with the Raiders in Denver,

574
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: and just close your eyes. It's that running back running

575
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: a wide outside zone, the stretch play, because the quarterback

576
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: has to stretch to hand it off to him right

577
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: that wide zone. And then you know, sometimes you give

578
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: it to the back. You give it, you give it,

579
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: you give it. And then there's all these different plays

580
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: that are married, their their their their linked together, place complimentary,

581
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: place off that action where the quarterback doesn't give it

582
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: to the running back. And I call it a bootleg.

583
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: Kyle calls it a keep, And it's just where you

584
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: you run the stretch. You run the stretch. And when

585
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: they're running that stretch, linebackers gotta flow. They gotta stay

586
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: in their gaps. They can't get out for the cutback.

587
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to defend an outside zone. You gotta be flowing,

588
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: you gotta be on it. So you've got a lineback

589
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: and flowing one direction, and then the quarterback keeps it

590
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: comes across the formation, and you drag three layers, three

591
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: levels of eligible receivers. Whether you've got a tight end

592
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: going across with them, a fullback going across with them,

593
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: and then as tight end at the second level, and

594
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: then a third level receiver coming It all flows together. TREYE.

595
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 1: Lance would be amazing at that. And I saw him

596
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: do that in college. Obviously, Jimmy's good at it because

597
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: he's been doing it here. So I and that's I'm

598
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: oversimplifying just one little action. But when I think of

599
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: a of a Shanahan offense, his dad Kyle, it's a system. Yeah,

600
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: most it's not there, you know. Yeah, Matt Breed is

601
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: no longer here, But we run a system. It's just

602
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: running back X. It doesn't matter who he is, We're

603
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna run that play. And they've gotten away from it.

604
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Why so the other teams they know we got Kyle

605
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: Shannon our schedule coming up Sunday, we're going to take

606
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: away that outside zone. Wait, wait, I want to put

607
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: a pause in that really quick because I have a

608
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: question literally what we're talking about right now. Mike Stone

609
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: asked what happened to our outside zone running game. He said,

610
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: he feels like he's seen more runs up the middle.

611
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Do you see it? Because yeah, And I was talking

612
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: to Chris Firster about this, uh early in the year,

613
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: and uh, I would saying, am I seeing more power

614
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 1: running this year? And versus you know, I would say, said, well,

615
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: we got away from it in nineteen. The power and

616
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: gap scheme. There's there's two different ways. There's many ways

617
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: to run in the NFL, but it's to simplify it.

618
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Outside zone, inside zone where it's more area blocking than

619
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: man blocking than gap scheme and power um. So what

620
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: teams are doing is there if you're playing Kyle Shanahan,

621
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: what are you saying, We're taking away that outside zone?

622
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: So what are we doing. We're gonna put our hands

623
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: a little wider. Um. That's where the whole wide nine

624
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: came into being that the forty nine is run defensively.

625
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: Was Coach Washburn was in Tennessee in the same division

626
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: as the Colts, and the Colts ran the outside zone

627
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: to the edge with edge or in James, and that's

628
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: where the stretch was. Remember Peyton Manning and Peyton was

629
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: like he literally had like if Reds you could barely

630
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: get out there. Looked like an old man when he

631
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: was twenty four runt of the zone. But he had

632
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: to really stretched like his whole body to get out.

633
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: That's how wide it was. So h Tennessee invented this

634
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: wide nine where we're gonna put our ends and nine

635
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: technique means this where you line up on the field

636
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: of relationship to the to the to the tackles it

637
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: and you're you're outside a couple of body lengths. So

638
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: what they're saying is we're gonna set up wider than

639
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: your outside zone. So and then we're gonna come down hard.

640
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: And when your guys are looking to get wide and

641
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: block us, we're coming with four. So we're gonna slam

642
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: that back in. So we're not gonna let you get

643
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: to your outside zone. Okay, they're doing that, are going

644
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: more inside zone. Then we'll run more power where you

645
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: pull lake and Tomlins said, how many times we see

646
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: seventy five pull? He had a great poll on a

647
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: Trey Lance quarterback power run in this game. So, um,

648
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: it's just kind of that. I think it's the yang

649
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: and the yang. I'm not sure if if we're getting

650
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: away from it because the other I think it's more

651
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: of the other teams are scheming it and they're gonna

652
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: take it away. So you're not gonna beat your head

653
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: against a brick wall, and like they did in nineteen,

654
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna run more power. They I remember one game

655
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: even last year, I remember them running power like four

656
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: or five plays in a row. They just pulled lake

657
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: in Tomlinson and it's like, yeah, you wanna do you

658
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: think you know who we are and how we play

659
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: and you want to scout us. Well, we just ran

660
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: power right down your throat. And you know, Jeff Wilson's

661
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: a good power runner. I think when you get Jeff

662
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: Wilson Jr. Back and then that that power play up

663
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: inside works a little better. And then also with Trey Um,

664
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: he's got to figure out how to do this a

665
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: little bit where he's a little too fast sometimes where

666
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: he'll run right up about alignments back and it's it's

667
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: a timing thing, you know, trace fast, but you don't

668
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: want to be too fast though. The block has to

669
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: develop and then you go off the block. There have

670
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: been a couple of times where are you run right

671
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: up in the lakels back or any block her out there.

672
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: He's just too fast on what they call, you know,

673
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: his quarterback power. It's what Carolina used to run with

674
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. It's like, what's this play they run? It's

675
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: called QB power. You're running the power play for the quarterback?

676
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: Who does that? But they didn't and obviously New England

677
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: did a lot last year. So it's fascinating. But I think, uh,

678
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just you know, Kyle was under center

679
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: so much, always on the highest percentage of teams under

680
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: center in the nineteen year and we went to the

681
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl was the forty Niners and in New England

682
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: were under center the most. And uh, I think it's

683
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: an adjustment to what the league is doing. But I

684
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: think where they're sputtering a little bit to me is

685
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: I want to see that system. I want to see

686
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: like like the playoff games against Minnesota and green Bay

687
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: at home. You don't think they were trying to stop

688
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: that outside zone? They they they that's all they did.

689
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: Could they stop the outside zone? No, Minnesota was stubborn,

690
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: They wouldn't bring their safety Harrison Smith down early in

691
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: the game. So Kyle, just if they're gonna leave that

692
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: safety and played two high safety and try to block

693
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: our run game with seven guys, we're gonna run it.

694
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: We did it again. We're gonna run an again. You

695
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: did it a game. We're gonna run again. Then all

696
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: of a sudden, twenty two is coming down. They still

697
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: run it and they still can't stop it. And then

698
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: green Bay put all their resources in the box to

699
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: stop it, and they could not stop it. So why

700
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: is that? I don't know. I mean that that's time

701
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: you have to look at a little bit. But I

702
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: think where they're spluttering a little bit offensively is the

703
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: the foundation of the offensive football house to me in

704
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: a Shanahan system is the running game, obviously, and specifically

705
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: the outside zone and all the complimentary quarterback movement and

706
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: passing game elements off of it. This podcast is sponsored

711
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: You brought up a name that literally our next question.

712
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you're cheating. You're looking at these questions,

713
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: But will You'm Bedden from Chicago, which we'll see you

714
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. Greg, Papa can't wait till we

715
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: get to Chicago. But he wanted to know is there

716
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: any update on Jeff Wilson's return date? And then he

717
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: followed up and said, yes, this is a fantasy football

718
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: related I know how you built about your fantasy football.

719
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: But Jeff Wilson, Uh yeah. You know. Another side of

720
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: issue was we had Scott Harris, the GM of the Giants,

721
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: on the radio with us. He was trying to be

722
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: far anxiety in a late season last year playoff fantasy

723
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: football game, and he act, should I activate Jeff Wilson Jr?

724
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: And I said yeah, And I didn't have any knowledge

725
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: of the game planner or anything at that point in

726
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: the week. But I think he wound up scoring a

727
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns, so you may got hurt in that

728
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: game too, So I gotta bring that up. I think

729
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: Jeff so a little ways away. I think what they're

730
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: saying now is more November late November. Um so, I think,

731
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: but he would. He definitely helps. He's a the guy

732
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: scored ten touchdowns last year. You know. That's that's when

733
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: you get into these situations on fourth and one. I think,

734
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: I think what we're missing also is a short yardage

735
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: goal line back like go to the Philadelphia game, Jimmy

736
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: Garoppolo quarterback sneaks. Okay, you can do that here there

737
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: for times. All right, we got away with it four times.

738
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: Next game, short down and distance. What are they doing?

739
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: They're all coming up in the a gap without letting

740
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: that guy sneak us for they slam him. So then

741
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, then trays in and you're you're running more

742
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: designed quarterback runs. Um you know, is it because you

743
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: just can't turn and hand the ball to a big

744
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: short yardage, third down goal line back? Maybe? I mean,

745
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna get tagged behind the line

746
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Willis or at the line Jeff Wills. So how

747
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: many times we see Jeff Wilson Keiana just power through

748
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: that hit. He's a big he doesn't look big, he doesn't,

749
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: but he plays plays big, plays fast. He's faster than

750
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: the game and stronger the guy. He smells the goal line,

751
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: he smells the first down marker. That that's the kind

752
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: of guy you needed. So I think that's I think

753
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: we missed Jeff Wilson Jr. I honestly do. I heading

754
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: into the year and we didn't know what Sermon or Mitchell,

755
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: we knew Ja Michael but a slee after Raheem. He

756
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: was number two touchdowns last year. It's the game he

757
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: had New England. It's a big game. So there's no

758
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: question they miss him, but they're gonna get him back.

759
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: At some point this year, but I think it's gonna

760
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: be probably later in the November, maybe maybe later in November. Yeah,

761
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: that's the update. We also got from Kyle Shannahan earlier

762
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: this week talking about some guys coming back, um from

763
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: I R and p U P. But also another name,

764
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: Jamchael Hassey that you brought up. Kyle Shanahan said, it's

765
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: looking like he'll be making his return here in the

766
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: near future. I believe this week is when his right

767
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: yet that high ankle sprain. But I think is this

768
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: the week that he can be reactivating. So there you go.

769
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: That's a name that he can be on the lookout

770
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: for this week. But all right, this is a big question.

771
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: People panicking forty Niners dropped these last three. Mark Jackson

772
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: from Irvington said, can the forty Niners still make the playoffs?

773
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: Here's the part of the question though, with this team,

774
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: what we have seen, these guys that they have, UM,

775
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: guys that they might be without at this moment. Do

776
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: you think there's still a playoff team? Yeah? Certainly, can they? Yes?

777
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: Without question? Will they? That's why we show up every Sunday, Monday,

778
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: Thursday and Wash. I mean that's sports, nothing is predetermined.

779
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 1: It's a hard league. Uh I remember a Tennessee Titan

780
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: team and Ohtoo got off to a one in four start,

781
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: made it all the way to the FC Championship game.

782
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: I know the numbers showed that two and three team

783
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh and beyond has never made the playoffs. But

784
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: the team they were two and three. They went into

785
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: their bye week of a terrible loss to the Raiders

786
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: in l A lost twelve to six. It was a

787
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: famous game where Charles Hayley went crazy in the locker room.

788
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: They had Ronny Lott was playing with the Raiders. Then

789
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: they go get Ronny a lot from that locker room,

790
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: bring him over the locker room. The cob Charles down.

791
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: He wanted to kill half his teammates and all the coaches.

792
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: So then they came out of that. By they were

793
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: they were two and three going into the Buy ninety one,

794
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: came out of it, lost the next game to the Bengals,

795
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: and then got hot. They were two and four. Now

796
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: they did not The story I'm telling you ends with

797
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: a sad ending. They did not make the playoffs, but

798
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: they got to ten in six and that's a big

799
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: turnaround from two and four. It's just they squandered too

800
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: many chances. So you've squandered three in a row here,

801
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: and their treats tough losses because their teams. You need

802
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: to be better than when the standings are finished. You

803
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: gotta be Green Bay. You know, whether or not they

804
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: win their division. They may now I was looking at

805
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: that more for supremacy in the NFC, and it still

806
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: could be there. The Arizona loss is tough. They're good.

807
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: They brought in veteran guys that know how to win games.

808
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: Now they're not just padding their stats and running around.

809
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: They are there to finish the game and win. And

810
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: they got some winners that they brought in. I have

811
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: a higher level of respect and I don't want to

812
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: say fear, but I I they're not gonna go away.

813
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to knock them down. So they come

814
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: in and in November. I think they come in November

815
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the seven. It's a critical game. You can't lose to

816
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: them twice. So yes, there's a lot of football to play.

817
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: You mean, you get better and better and better as

818
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: the year goes on. It's not gonna be like where

819
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: they started. They know that's that's obviously not gonna happen.

820
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to take a different route this year,

821
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: and every year has a different story, different obstacles. Uh.

822
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: And I think really what they got to get back

823
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: to is to refine their identity. I think they know

824
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: what their identity is. They's got to get back to

825
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: the four principles. And then defensively, I'm seeing it from both.

826
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: There's no doubt Nick's better than he's been, but we

827
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: got to see it from other guys. The identity of

828
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: this team is to run the ball on offense, and

829
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: pass rush you on defense, and cover up the secondary.

830
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: We're seeing it in spurts where there are times where

831
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: they're just as dominant as they've ever been, and then

832
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: they then something happens and they get off. Rhythm footballs

833
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: are rhythm game. People don't realize the basketball is a

834
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: rhythm game. Rhythm game. Philadelphia, they weren't playing great complementary football.

835
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: Gonna stop on the on the Philly play on fourth

836
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: and two. All of a sudden, you drive, you get

837
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: a pond, you pin them down there. It all works together.

838
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: You start seeing that momentum chang right and so um,

839
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of football yes, just say at two

840
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: and three they're incapable of making their playoffs is absurd.

841
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: I mean they could. I think they're I think they're

842
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: best football is ahead of them. They've just got to

843
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: figure out a way to be more consistent and define

844
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: define the rhythm. Yeah, we actually if IF for everyone listening,

845
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: and this is going to be a shameless plug, but

846
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: I definitely highly encourage everyone to tune in to ask

847
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Papa because we talk a little bit about this. Yeah,

848
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: but currently there are six teams in the NFC who

849
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: are all sitting at two and three. Um, Philly's in there,

850
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: Washington's in there. I'm trying to remember Team Seattle's in

851
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: that mix their own issues. Minnesota, Greg, you said, could

852
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: be on a team that could turn things around here

853
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: in the near future. But you have you ranked these teams,

854
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: and you hads is the top team among these six

855
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: that are currently sitting because Okay, they won their first

856
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: two on the road. I don't care who you beat.

857
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Detroit and Detroit's toy had

858
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: some games they could have won. Yea, they just the

859
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: last six yard field goal off the crossbar. Things like

860
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: that are happening. To them. Uh. And then Philadelphia you

861
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: went in. That's hostile environment. That's impressive. The Green Bay game,

862
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: they I thought they were all played most of the game,

863
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: but at the end they damn your stole the game.

864
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: Should have stolen that game. Seattle game, the first five

865
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: offensive possessions, Russell Wilson, that high powered offense goes three

866
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: and out. They have minus seven yards, not annihilated, but

867
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: your kicker gets hurt before the game seven nothing scores

868
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: should be tend nothing. You don't down upon on the

869
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: three yard line, you're all on the end zone. They

870
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: take it on the twenty. You saw, you know what happens.

871
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: They could have won that game. Arizona. I at Arizona

872
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: control of the game, but still you were in that game.

873
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: So not all three game losing streaks are the same.

874
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: You could have a three game losing streak where you're

875
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: getting killed in each of the three and you're like,

876
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: we're not very good. These are three that sting each one.

877
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: You felt like, damn. So it's just a few plays.

878
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody can say that the teams that are

879
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: even Arizona being five and all. Minnesota missed a field

880
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: goal at the end of the game. They should have

881
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: lost that home game and Jacksonville game two, or Jacksonville

882
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: looked like they had that until it was like the

883
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: fourth quarter and that flee flicker play and Byron Murphy Jr.

884
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: Had To pick six against them. So they these games

885
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: come down. This is not like uh, you know, college football,

886
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: where there's a huge discrepancy and talent. This is the

887
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 1: NFL where yeah, some teams are more talented than others,

888
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: but it's it's four or five guys can dominate a game,

889
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: you know not and then most of it comes down

890
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: to not twenty five plays, comes down to five, and

891
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: they just they haven't been able to, you know, consistently.

892
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: The last three make those kind of plays. But that

893
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they don't have an in them. I

894
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: clearly think they have an in them, and I think

895
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: they just gotta find rhythm. And the key thing is

896
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: you can't squander too many chances. I mean, it's just

897
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: a pure math equation here. I know we're playing seventeen

898
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: and not sixteen, but you can't get too far behind.

899
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: You can't have too many yellows where you can't overcome it.

900
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: Even like the team is two and four, Yeah, they

901
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: got to tenant six, but ten and six wasn't good enough.

902
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: You don't you missed out by a game. So you've

903
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta you know, you gotta win the games

904
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: you can win. Uh And I think they can win

905
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: every game. So I'm not gonna say they're gonna win

906
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: every game, but you gotta win your share of the game.

907
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, two and three is kind

908
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: of where they are right now. It's but the record shows,

909
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: but I don't think they are two and three team.

910
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: So when I when I ranked the other teams, I

911
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: think Kirk Cousins and people keep talking about Kirky. That guy.

912
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: It's incredibly skilled on a slay, his ability to play

913
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: that position just and he's so much more comfortable in

914
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: that system. Now, over time, the Seattle lost their quarterback.

915
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: That's a major problem for them. Washington, Philadelphia, Atlanta. Now

916
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: these teams, none of them may make the playoffs, but

917
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: they're teams that you're you're competing with being the hunt

918
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: and then you've got to get up to the teams

919
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: that are in the playoffs. And we know in our

920
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: division now there's a clear line. Arizona and the Rams

921
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: are on top. Forty in Seattle. They've got to figure

922
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: it out. And we lost to Seattle at home, so

923
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: that would hurt. So, um, yeah, this is totally doable.

924
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: This is pro football. Things can flip, um, and it's

925
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna make it exciting because you're gonna get into a

926
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: desperation situation. And a lot of times in pro football,

927
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: the teams that's the most desperate wins because they've got

928
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: to win. And I think you're gonna see that team

929
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: playing with a heightened sense of desperation. Oh does that

930
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: desperation start in Week seven? Because prime Time hosting the

931
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Calls, we talked a little a bit about that

932
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 1: went's coming to town to Forest Buckner, his first trip

933
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: back to Levi Stadium. Um, before we close this out,

934
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: let's let's preview this. We're we're kind of doing a

935
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: two week and one thing. We've got week six sporting

936
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: nights on the by now looking ahead to Week seven,

937
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: they play the Texans this week. Um, we saw that

938
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: game where I feel like that was Lamar Jackson doing

939
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson things. But there was a point in that

940
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: game where I was like, Okay, Indianapolis has got this.

941
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: Now I feel like their record isn't very telling of

942
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: the talent that's on that team. But what do you

943
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: see out of the Colts? Well seven? I like Carson Wentz.

944
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: I had great respect for Carson Wentz. I don't know

945
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: exactly what happened to him in Philadelphia before he tore

946
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: his a c L in the end zone at the

947
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: LA Coliseum. He was going to be the NFL Most

948
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: Valuable player. That team was really wind u putting the

949
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: super Bowl without him, but he was playing great, and

950
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: since he's come back his Philadelphia days, I think he's

951
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: just off balance. His legs are way wider apart than

952
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: his shoulders. He looks like he's flopping around in the pocket.

953
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy that that tries almost too hard,

954
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: cares too much, won't take a sack when you need

955
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: to take a sack, always trying to make a great play.

956
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: He's just he's just a red hot competitor and it

957
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: gets himself into trouble. And I never thought they would

958
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: trade him. I never thought they'd fire Doug Peterson. They

959
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: just won the Super Bowl. But it's always a fleeting success,

960
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 1: isn't this league and this society. It's like the ultimate

961
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: what have you done for me lately? So he's on

962
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: a new team. He's got Frank Wright who coached him

963
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: up in Philly, and uh, they're capable. Jonathan Taylor, that's

964
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: running back. The screen passed that he caught for the

965
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: touchdown against Baltimore was insane. I watched him in college.

966
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: It looks so big and powerful and how you see

967
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: him in the pros and he's I'm not gonna say

968
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: his Marshall fault, but he's he's a more of a

969
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: breakaway runner, sleeker runner guy you can build your hold

970
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: offense around. Uh, they're a good team. And then on

971
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: the defensive side, they have two of the best players,

972
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: and Darius Leonard, that linebacker is a great player. He

973
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: and Fred Warner are probably considered Bobby Wagner is still

974
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: hanging on. But as far as the young guys in

975
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: the league, and two best inside linebackers in football and

976
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: de Forrest Buckner, So I think we'll talk a lot about,

977
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, rekindling that and trading DeForrest Buckner after the

978
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team a year. So it'll be good to

979
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 1: have him back. Use the quality forty niner, but you

980
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: gotta respect him and there'll be some interesting matchups because

981
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: the forty niner and cheerier Laken can handle him. But

982
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure you block ninety nine all games.

983
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: So but you're off your by. It's very odd that

984
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: a team will play two games while you after you

985
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: played one, because they played on Monday night and then

986
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna play on Sunday against the Texas. So, um,

987
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on Sunday night football. I mean, that's

988
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: the bottom line. And they are gonna wear the throwback

989
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: reds right for this game, so it's gonna have a

990
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: nice vibe. So, um, it's gonna be a huge game.

991
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, if they beat Houston and they get to

992
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: two and four, then they're two and four and were

993
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: two and three, and the loser of this game is

994
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna being a little bit of a hurt situation. So

995
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about desperado and being a desperate team. Um,

996
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: they're both gonna be desperate and that lends itself to

997
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: exciting competitive play. And remember Carson Wentz came in here

998
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: last year when everybody was burying him saying how bad

999
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: he was, and he scored a touchdown. He drove into

1000
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: the end zone of the zone read. He made that

1001
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: throw down the sideline. I can see it now. Remember

1002
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: all his wide receivers were heard. We didn't know who

1003
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: the hell they were. They Actually the touchdown he threw

1004
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: was to a guy he just signed. Yeah, I remember

1005
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: of him, Travis Folg. Yeah. I don't even know what

1006
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: the game and they he won, right, So yeah, that

1007
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: that guy to me is a gamer. So it's gonna

1008
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: be a big, big game, big game for the forty Niners.

1009
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: But that's not this week. That will be next week.

1010
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: Week seven. Forty Niners picking things back up back in

1011
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: Levi State and forty Niners still looking for their first

1012
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: win of the season at home. It's crazy to believe

1013
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: it when too many to home last year, but that's

1014
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: extenuating circumstances. We weren't even home. We didn't we weren't

1015
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: even home. We got evicted from their homestad at the

1016
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: end of the year. We can't really You got to

1017
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: get back to that. Levi's has lit in the dominating

1018
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: element we had in twenty nineteen. You gotta get back

1019
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, and I feel like energy would be

1020
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: extremely high at the return home. Levi Stadium has been

1021
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: rocking as of late night. I expected to continue definitely
