1
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the forty Niners You've Gotten Mail podcast

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: sponsored by Manscape, and do we have a special special

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: guest for this week's episode. It's so weird because, like,

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm so used to calling you forty Niners left tackle

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Joe Staley. Now I feel like I have to introduce

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: you now, is like NFL analyst and former left tackle

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: Joe Staley joining the podcast. Hi Joe, Hi, how are

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: you just this? Introduced me as you know, just the

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: regular guy Joe, just this regular Joe. But it's not

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: regular Joe. Because it's so weird because I spent a

11
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: brief amount of time of my game days in the

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: press box and then I like look over to my

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: right and you're in the press box, and it's like

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: it's still taking me some getting used to. But what

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: about for you? How are you adjusting to being on

16
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: the other side of football now? What's taken me the

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: most time to get used to sitting in the press

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: box is the lack of communication, noise, cheering, overall excitement

19
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: of game day. I missed that, and uh that was

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: really hard for me, especially the first few weeks. I

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: was like, you know, they're making a big play or

22
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: whatever would happen, or I didn't even have some kind

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: of reaction. I'd be like, yeah, oh wait, shoot, you're

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: not supposed to do anything. So I have respect for

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the press box in the areas are trying to get

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: too excited, but there are definitely times so that's sitting

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: next to Dante is to my right and Laura is

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: to my left, or Dante Whittner, and there's times where

29
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, I get excited. There was one play when

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: this was a few weeks ago, I forget. I think

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: the Devo had like a big run and I like

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: grab Dante and I like started shaking him. But I

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna you know, actually like yea, because they're not

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: supposed to. But I was like, they can't do it.

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna store. So I find different ways to celebrate now. No,

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: it's true. So for anyone listening UM, the number one

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: rule in the press box it's no cheering, And it

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: does take some getting used to because of course you're

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: supporting that team UM, well at least on my side

40
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: and Joe's side, you're supporting the forts UM. So you're

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to cheer without cheering and not

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: getting the looks of all the other writers and analysts

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: and people in the press box. So I understand that

44
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: wholeheartedly because I still struggle with that. UM. I got

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: a lot of looks weak one in Detroit when I

46
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: was cheering in the press box and the Lions writers

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: were not appreciating that. But al right, So one of

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: the biggest adjustments is learning to um find other ways

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: to celebrate. But what's been maybe your biggest lesson so

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: far being an on air talent, UM, the biggest lesson,

51
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: The biggest thing for me to learn was that is

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: exactly that it's on air and everything, everything you do

53
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: is live. There was a week one UM, probably the

54
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: second segment I did, I thought we were going to

55
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: talk about something. I got confused and I just paused

56
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: mid segment and I was like looking at everybody and

57
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: they were like trying to whisper like what we were

58
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: talking about, and I just looked great at the camera

59
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: and I said, this is live. Freaked out. It's different.

60
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: It was completely different than what I expected. I think

61
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: when that you know, that red light of the camera

62
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: comes on, it just got like in my head. At first,

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I had to get comfortable with it. Which talking to

64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: people I think is shocking to them because I always

65
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: felt very comfortable doing media throughout my career. But it's

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: different when you're answering questions as opposed to giving opinions

67
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and asking the questions. And so it's been a lot

68
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: of my weeks, um, kind of preparing for the shows

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, watch film, read a lot of articles and

70
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and try to formulate my own opinions

71
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: and stuff and then just try to go out there

72
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: and have fun. And I think as the season has

73
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: gone on, we've done a good job of, you know,

74
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: playing off each other and getting more used to each

75
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: other's you know, just being around guys. So and Laura

76
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: does a great job as well. So it's been a

77
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: lot of fun for me this year to kind of

78
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: get into that side and see the media aspects of it. Yeah,

79
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a whole new world, um, So welcome to it. Um.

80
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: But in case you haven't got a chance to watch Joe,

81
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: you can watch them on NBC Sports Bay Area. Doing

82
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: you do the pre game and post game? Yeah, it's

83
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: a pregame show. You do an our pregame show, usually

84
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: our before the game goes on we do, uh, you know,

85
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: our postgame show after the game, and we do a

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: halftime show that's on the NBC Sports Area YouTube page,

87
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: so you can check us out there. But it was

88
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: cool for me to get into this this year because

89
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: I've always had a curiosity of the media world and

90
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: if I would really enjoy to go down that avenue,

91
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, post career, and I thought, you know, what

92
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: a better opportunity and to talk about the four and

93
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: Ironers and not have to just look at the whole

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: entire NFL, but you can just kind of focus on

95
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the guys and the team that I know and love

96
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: and you get to cheer them on. And but there's

97
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: definitely been challenges, you know, I think especially during that

98
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: four game losing streak, and it was it was really

99
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: difficult for me to critique anybody because there's a lot

100
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: of friends that I have in that locker room and

101
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that I really care about, but

102
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to find a fine line of

103
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: being fair but a critical. And I think it's awesome

104
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: right now because everybody's winning and everybody's feeling good and

105
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: the Niners are playing good football. I think that's what

106
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: makes your position so unique because of course you can

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: have a million people on the outside looking in that

108
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: can write about this team and give different opinions here

109
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: and there, but you're so recently attached to this team.

110
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: You were in the same locker room with the large

111
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: number of these guys, with Kyle Shanahan, with Jimmy Garoppolo. Um,

112
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: So as you say, it's it's sometimes you know, hard

113
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: to critique given you know your relationship with a lot

114
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: of these guys. I think that's what's appreciated most about

115
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: hearing from you and hearing from your side, given your

116
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: proximity uh to the team as of late. But I

117
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: think that's a perfect segue because I want to dig

118
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: into analysts Daley a little bit, and I want to

119
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: start with where this forty Niners team is right now,

120
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: going back to what you said, that four game losing

121
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: streak about four or five six weeks ago, people are

122
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: read to write off the forty Niners completely, but instead

123
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: rattled off four wins over the last five weeks. They

124
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: have these three straight wins. What do you attest this

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: turnaround to what have you seen that You're like, all right,

126
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: things are clicking because of what well you know, I

127
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: think a lot of the dialogue to during that four

128
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: game losing streak was just kind of the overall lack

129
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: of identity and not that don't think that they didn't

130
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: have it in the locker room, but it takes time

131
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: to you're really kind of grasp who that team is.

132
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: And it was like that throughout my whole career and

133
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: there are some seasons obviously where we didn't even find

134
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: it and um, we're just kind of going out there

135
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: with a new game plan every week. Um. Not you know,

136
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: not with Kyle, but you know past coaches that we had. UM.

137
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: And I think the last you know, three or four games,

138
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: I think especially they've they've just played a lot better

139
00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: team concept, complementary football, and that's always been Kyle's something

140
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: that he's always stressed in the meeting rooms and the

141
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: way that they've built the team, you know, through the

142
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: draft and players that they've brought in that built the roster.

143
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: It's never just been about like one guy carrying the

144
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: team the position. It's always about everybody's just doing their

145
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: job and let me say, like do their one eleven

146
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, on offense, defense, special teams, and when you're

147
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: playing that way, I think that lends itself to winning

148
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: football and that goes into everything. You know, It's just

149
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: gives the defense more confidence knowing that the offense is

150
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: performing as well it is is you know, the same

151
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: thing vice versa. Offense feels more confidence knowing that they

152
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: don't have to score every single time they have the

153
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: ball in their hands because the defense is playing well.

154
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: And then I think, just to um, what really impressed

155
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: me U through the this year is how the team

156
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: stayed together Um, and I think you're seeing the fruits

157
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: of that now with the way that the team's playing

158
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: on the locker room went through adversity. They dealt with it.

159
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: They searched for answers, they didn't point fingers. They stayed together,

160
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: and not just the players but the coaches as well,

161
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: and no one turned on Kyle or the staff. No

162
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: one turned on what they were doing schematically, and I

163
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: think now it's a team that is really dangerous because

164
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: they have that belief in the process that they've went

165
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: through adversity and then I also came out a bit

166
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: stronger and now now they performing on the field like

167
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: they were and they hoped in the beginning of season.

168
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Manscape is the official below the waste grooming partner of

169
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: the forty niners try manscaped and get off and free

170
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: shipping with code forty niners at manscaped dot com. That's

171
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: code forty niners forf at manscape dot com. Earlier in

172
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: the year, we saw those struggles on third downs, we

173
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: saw that turnover battle not really going in the forty

174
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: niners favor. Um, it seems like in Week eight in

175
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Chicago and in particular that second half, that's kind of

176
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: when we started to see things shift, and namely, Uh,

177
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Um, he's had one of his best stretches

178
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: of his career these last few games. But looking at

179
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: his level of play, what's been your impression of how

180
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: he's been formed. He's been performing over these last few weeks.

181
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: He's been performing really, really well. Um, I think you're

182
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. I think he's he's been as consistent

183
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: and as confident that I've seen him, you know, in

184
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: his career. I think he has a complete understanding of,

185
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, what's asked of him. He's really really seeing

186
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: the field well. And you know, I've thought of a

187
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: couple decisions where that happens to every single quarterback in

188
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: the NFL. No one's playing perfect. You know, He's played

189
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: really really efficiently, and he's been on target a lot too,

190
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: with really really tough throws. You know, even last week,

191
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: I was thinking of that one pass that he had

192
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: to brand and you go over the cross the middle

193
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: and for him to deliver over the arm of the

194
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: outstruts arm of the linebocker fit into a hole where

195
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: the safeties were conversion also on time. You just see

196
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: the confidence that he has right now in his ability

197
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: um and it's exciting to see. And I think two

198
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: which has always been kind of getting back to the

199
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: complementary football aspect of it. You know, Jimmy doesn't feel

200
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: like he has to be superman every single time he's

201
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: on the football field. He can you know, lean on

202
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: the run game right now, and I think that has

203
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: been a huge aspect of this team as well. And

204
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: just the physicality with what they're playing. And then when

205
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: you go out there and on the field, knowing that

206
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: you can physically dominate a team, that gives you so

207
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: much confidence, and then you know your defense feeds off

208
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: of that because they're arrested, the offense is on the

209
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: field dominating a time of possession, UM long drives, not

210
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: shooting themselves in the foot like everything that goes into

211
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: UM just good team footballs with the Niners are doing

212
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: right now. And obviously, if we're gonna talk about Jimmy,

213
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: we got to talk about the other guy under center

214
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room. You you couldn't imagine the amount

215
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: of questions we get about when fans are going to

216
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: get to see Tray Lance. But I want to jump

217
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: to Kyle Shanahan's press conference this week. I'm not sure

218
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: if you heard it. I want to get your take

219
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: on it, but he was asked about, you know, earlier

220
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: in the year, Kyle's talks about having packages for Trey Lance,

221
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: and we really haven't seen him since well, we saw

222
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: him for five plays at the end of that Jacksonville game,

223
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: but we haven't really seen him since that. I think

224
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: it was Week five against Arizona where he had that

225
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: full start. But Kyle basically said it kind of throws

226
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: him out of a coaching groove of coaching rhythm when

227
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: he's adding Tray in, pulling him out, throwing Jimmy in there.

228
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: But what do you make if you did here his comments?

229
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: What do you kind of make of this situation and

230
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: and how does that really affect you know, a coaching

231
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: groover or even as a player knowing who's under center. Well,

232
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I think right now, looking at the whole situation, I

233
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: think with the way that Jimmy is playing in the

234
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: offense in general, I don't think you really want to

235
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: mess with that, you know, I think they definitely have

236
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: a good thing going. Um. And I have always believed,

237
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, this whole situation was going to be played

238
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: out based off of, you know, how Jimmy was playing.

239
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: And if Jimmy was playing well and the team was

240
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: doing well, then it's hard to mess with that. But

241
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: if he wasn't, then that's when some of those questions

242
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: were happening. So I think you heard a lot earlier

243
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: in the year on the team. They we're winning a

244
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: couple of games, but the offensive output wasn't that great.

245
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: After the Philly game they go in the losing street. Um,

246
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: he started hearing more and more about you know, get

247
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: the rookie in there, gave us his development. Um. But

248
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: now I think, you know, it's it's incredibly valuable to

249
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: a young player to have time to understand and adjust

250
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: to the NFL game. I think, especially at a quarterback position,

251
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: there's so many more nuances that go into the game.

252
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: And besides just throwing the ball and you know, understanding

253
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: where your reads are, it's it's about complete mastery of

254
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: a the offense, protections, um, cadences, you know, motions, shifts,

255
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: like everything that goes into Kyle's offense is very intricate

256
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: and it takes time, um to really have an understanding

257
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: of that. So I think this time is not wasted.

258
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like he's not developing because he's

259
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: not on the field right now. Um. They do a

260
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: great job in the meeting room, um of explaining everything

261
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: and taking time to get that film work in and

262
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: I know he's getting reps you know, against a defense

263
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: in practice, and they're putting him through the paces. So

264
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: everything is is right now developing towards him being the

265
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: guy next year. And I think you'll see next year,

266
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: you'll see the fruits of all that hard labor this

267
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: year that he's gone through, and he'll be much further ahead.

268
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: I think then if you threw him out there and

269
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: just said hey, that's a luck, go win some games, Um,

270
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna see much more confidence on the field from

271
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: from the day one. Yeah. Um, you talk about the

272
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: intricacies of Kyle shanahan offense, I want to talk about

273
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: one of the key pieces to the offense, which this

274
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: year has been debot. I mean, he really came into

275
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: his own this year. Last year he dealt with those

276
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: injuries and Kyle's figured out ways just to get creative

277
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: with him on offense. You've been around the guy, You've

278
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: watched him developed from his rookie year. Um, are you

279
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: surprised at the success he's been having and also how

280
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: much of a blow is it for this offense to

281
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: potentially be without him these next couple of weeks while

282
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: he deals with this growing injury. Yeah, I'm not surprised

283
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: at all with the success that he's having because I

284
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: saw just a glimpse of it his rookie year. He

285
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: was so incredibly counted when he came into the NFL.

286
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: And just the way then he runs with the ball

287
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: in his hands, the way his mentality is to try

288
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: to punish and it's hard to You can talk about it,

289
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: but you guys have to have a real belief of

290
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: doing it. And that's such a weapon and you're seeing

291
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: it now with the ways that Kyle's is getting him

292
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: the ball, not just as a receiver but through the backfield,

293
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: just getting him as many touches as you can. And

294
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: I think too, what was cool about the offenses Um

295
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: now that teams are kind of focusing on him or

296
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: through the passing game, I was finding creative ways to

297
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: just get hit in the ball because you know, we

298
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: did a couple of breakdowns on the show, and watching

299
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: him as a running back, he he reads those runs

300
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: and he has those coaching points as a running back

301
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: UM to break those plays. Like there was one play

302
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: where he ran Um you know, basically call it a

303
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: crunch or a duo concept. It's like power gap scheme

304
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: with no pullers. And one of the coaching points for

305
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: the running back is if that backside nose tackle crosses

306
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: the face of the center, the running back is supposed

307
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: to take it backside. And for Devo to understand that

308
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: coaching point and to read it correctly, and then he

309
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: ended up breaking Um to the end zone there for

310
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: a touchdown off of that is just almost kind of

311
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: like mind blowing that he can understand that just offensively,

312
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Um through the passing game but also as a running back.

313
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: And then to your second point, it's really hard to

314
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: replace a guy like that because he's a catalyst for

315
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: this offense and a lot of the you know, the

316
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: yards game go through him. Um. But I think what's

317
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: exciting about looking forward for the next couple of games is,

318
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon You's been really playing really really well.

319
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: You can see it not just with his production, but

320
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: the way that he's playing the game. Every single route

321
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: is running of percent. He's in there constantly the right

322
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: position doing a little thing, you know, blocking his tail

323
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: off in the run game. Um. You just see that

324
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: he has confidence in what he's doing right now, completely

325
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: understanding of the scheme. So he's gonna get more opportunities

326
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: going forward. And then John Jennings too, I think over

327
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks you've really seen him take

328
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: advantage of those opportunities he's had in the field. You know,

329
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: I thought that was a catch. It was unbelievable that

330
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: he didn't quite get that need out on the end zone.

331
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: But he had the other touchdown catch. But he'll get

332
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: more opportunities going forward to But you know, the Niners

333
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: team right now has a depth to kind of overcome

334
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: for one or two weeks. You know. Thankfully it's only

335
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: a one or two week injury for the Boats, so

336
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: I think the team is gonna be in a good

337
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: position to win these next to obviously, with it being

338
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: the You've Got Male podcast, we've got some fan questions

339
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: and this is going to tie back to the quarterback

340
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: we were just talking about. But Mike Conley out of

341
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: Sacramento said, with Devo out, do you think Lance has

342
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be used in the RPO situation? What's

343
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: your take? Um, I mean, I think the the opportunity

344
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: is always there, but I don't think it has anything

345
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: to do with Debo being out. You know, I would

346
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: expect to see in the next two games the exact

347
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: game plans that they've done in the previous four. They've

348
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: had success on offense, you know, it's run through the

349
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: run game, and I think that is something that they've

350
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: been able to consistently lean on. Um, just not just

351
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: a run game. It's just like the variety of different

352
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: looks that they're getting. And then I also think that

353
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy is playing really well and the shotgun. I think

354
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: that's been a huge development for the offense this year.

355
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Is this the ability to run um that run game

356
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: out of the shotgun and then also pair it with

357
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy's ability to see the defense get that quick release out.

358
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's gonna be an r PO

359
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: thing where they need to generate some offense because Debo

360
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: is not in the field. They have the guys that

361
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to do it. UM. And like

362
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: I said, with Jawan and Brandon, I you could the

363
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: receiver corps, George Kittle is probably gonna get more targets

364
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: UM then Elijah and that running game is not right now. Yeah. Uh.

365
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: Deborah Romero from Phoenix, Arizona asked when will D four

366
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: injury green Law be back from injury. I can answer

367
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: that one. Um. They opened the practice window for d

368
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: Ford last week. They were hoping he'd be able to

369
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: go on Sunday, but they're gonna ease him back and

370
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: see how his back and neck is responding. Obviously, that's

371
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: a very intricate, uh injury right there. So we'll be

372
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: on the lookout as a Foday Night is returned to

373
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: practice this week. UM. As for Drake Greenlaw reaggravated his

374
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: groin injury he's day to day. Um. I put this

375
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: question here because it's bringing me to my next topic.

376
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: Because every time I think of Seattle, I think of

377
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: that game Week seventeen. Goal lines stand right there with Dre,

378
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: Greenlaw and Joe. You have a lot of memories playing

379
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: against Seattle in Seattle. But this is a completely different

380
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: Seattle team that I think you have seen as of late.

381
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: They're currently sitting at three and eight, a place where

382
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: not used to seeing them looking ahead to this Sunday's game.

383
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: I hate using this word, but does this game have

384
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: those makings of being a trap game? Just given how

385
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Seattle tends to play the forty Nights, It's kind of

386
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: like this vicious cycle of forty Niners can play the

387
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: Rams really well regardless of what their record is, and

388
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: Seattle does the same thing to the forty Niners. But

389
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: what's your take on this matchup? Um? First off, I

390
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: am so excited that the Seattle Seahawks are doing so

391
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: miserably this year. It brings me so much joy to see,

392
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, Pete Carroll just not have any answers for

393
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: their struggles. Um, you know, Russell Wilson's really just doing

394
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: a horrendous job as a quarterback. I just love it

395
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: so much as someone that absolutely hated playing against Seattle,

396
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: does not enjoy their franchise, their fan base. UM, as

397
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: a guy that bleeds read and gold, this brings me

398
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: so much joy. So I wanted to get off that

399
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: off of my chest. Secondly, UM, Secondly, I don't think

400
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: it's a trap game. UM, just from the standpoint of

401
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: like when I look as a player, UM, everybody from

402
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: the outside seasons like trap games, or when you go

403
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: in not fully understanding or being aware of like the

404
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: opposing team's ability to play well. And the Seattle Seahawks,

405
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: regardless how their team is, always plays well on their

406
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: home stadium. It's a hard place to play just because

407
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: of that crowd noise, and especially offensively and on the

408
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: offensive line side. UM, it brings a lot of challenges

409
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: UM this week. So you know the Niners are gonna

410
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: go in fully expecting to Seattle's best, not just because

411
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: of you know, how they play at home, but also

412
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: because you know they're they're playing for pride. And I

413
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of guys in that locker room

414
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: that are really embarrassed of their record of being as

415
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: atrocious as it is in the Seattle Sehawks being as

416
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: bad of a team that they are this year and

417
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: so miserable to watch. And I think everybody that watched

418
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: that game Monday night, you know, probably wishes they didn't

419
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: because they got to see a Seattle team that was awful.

420
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: And it just makes me so happy to say all

421
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: these words that I'm saying right now and brings me

Speaker 1: all right, well that aside of what we saw on

428
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: Monday night, Um, just I've often look back at let's

429
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: say like August and in training camp, you're looking at

430
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: this NFC West and people are saying, with this expanded

431
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: playoff picture that it's very likely that all four teams

432
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: could make the postseason. And yeah, it won't be, won't

433
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: be because Seattle trash, but yeah, well yeah, at this rate, uh,

434
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: it's a tall task for Seattle to make their way

435
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: back into playoff contention. But you look at the moves

436
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: that Arizona have made over these last two seasons, and

437
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: you're looking at what the Rams have done as of lately,

438
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: and they're honestly not playing their best right now either.

439
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: But kind of what do you make of this NFC

440
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: West picture, because I think it's taken a lot of

441
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: us by surprise, one, especially how Seattle has performed, but

442
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: just how good Arizona has been, the moves that l

443
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: A has made, how the forty Niners are remaining relevant

444
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: and on the incline, what do you make of this

445
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: entire division right now? Yeah, I think, you know, outside

446
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: of Seattle being absolute trash, I think the I love it.

447
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: I love it. I'd say it like seven times. Um.

448
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's kind of played out how

449
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: everybody expects, and I think maybe maybe not everybody expects.

450
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: But those three teams, Arizona, l A, Niners, you know,

451
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: those are gonna be teams that are going to be

452
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: into it at the end. You know, Arizona's things one

453
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: of the best teams in football right now. Um, and

454
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: they've won two without who everybody thought was like the

455
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: only reason they were good was Kyler Murray and and

456
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: d d Hot being out too. Um, they still find

457
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: ways to win. I think Colte McCoy did a great

458
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: job for them over those last three games of keeping

459
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: them in the you know, the conversation is one of

460
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFL. UM. It will be

461
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: interesting to see how much their defense. We'll miss J. J.

462
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: Watt going forward to the end of the end of

463
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: the season, but they have a ton of talent there.

464
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: And then it was interesting to me and I think

465
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: when they l A. Rams made the trade for von

466
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: and O b J. You know, it was almost like

467
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: they were on such a role and you know, I

468
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: understand the name recognition of those players and and what

469
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: they can potentially bring, but sometimes it's they don't want

470
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: to mess too much with a good thing. And I

471
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: think there's a lot more issues than just you know,

472
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: time they came in there and screwed up the locker

473
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: room and they screwed up what they're trying to do

474
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. I think it's you know, a lot

475
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: of a lot of things that they're they're losing skid

476
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: they've been on recently, but they're still a really good

477
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: football team. I still have a lot of ton ton

478
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: of talented players that are are going to figure it out,

479
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: and I think there will be you know, a team

480
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: for sure at the end that's going to be in

481
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: the playoff hunt and probably in one of those wild

482
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: card positions. But I think just from the Niners perspective,

483
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, a month ago, everybody was kind of talking

484
00:26:53,680 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: about just the lack of execution and the um just

485
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: overall sense of like, well, this is a missed season

486
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: and the expectations were so high and where a letdown

487
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: the Niners were. But for them to really fight their

488
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: way back and flip the script just completely on the

489
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: head because they've gone from being one of the most

490
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: disappointing teams too over the last month one of the

491
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: most exciting teams. I think you look at both sides

492
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: of the ball, they're probably one of the more dangerous

493
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL right now. They've really got their grooves,

494
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: their confidence. Offensively, they're putting up huge numbers. Defensively, they're

495
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: getting the ball um So I think, you know, they're

496
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: going to keep this going throughout the rest of the year,

497
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be a team. It's going to be

498
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: really really scary for anybody in the NFL the face

499
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That's what a lot of analysts have

500
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: been saying as of late, like, you do not want

501
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: the forty Niners on your schedule, whether it's closing out

502
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: the season or if you want to see them in postseason.

503
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: As the team it's somewhat getting healthier. I know they're

504
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: going to be without a debot and friended least this week. Um,

505
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: but you're getting guys back. This team is playing better,

506
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: they're playing together, so uh. And you're talking about you

507
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: brought up l A and how they could be one

508
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: of those teams in the postseason. And also you're kind

509
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: of looking at their schedule as well. It's not very forgiving. Yes,

510
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: they have Jacksonville this week, but then it's Arizona, Seattle, Minnesota,

511
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore in San Francisco. I'm throwing Seattle in there anyways.

512
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: But but regardless of the I think we should have

513
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: a counter of the number of times you say that.

514
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: But before I let you go, UM, I got one

515
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: more fan question for you, and I think you're the

516
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: perfect person to help answer this. But our Campbell from Bahamas,

517
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: who was in Bahamas, which I'm very envious up but

518
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: wants to know do you think the forty Niners can

519
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: keep up with this new energy they have throughout the

520
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 1: rest of the regular season. And my question you as

521
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: you being on the field, you've played this game, you

522
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: know how it is, have in these win streaks. You

523
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: know how tough this this sport is, how it's any

524
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: given Sunday. But how hard is it to continue the

525
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: momentum that this team has found. It's it's more difficult

526
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: to do what they've already done, and that's keeps yourself

527
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: out of a funk. I think, um, once you get

528
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: on that hot streak. And I even think back to

529
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: like the two thousand and seventeen season when we weren't

530
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: a good team and we didn't really have pieces, but

531
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: we went on a five game win streak I believe

532
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. Was it five games? Yeah,

533
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: five game win streak at the end of the season.

534
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: And I remember staying at the at the end of

535
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: the season like I felt like we could line up

536
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: with any team in the NFL at that moment and

537
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: beat them, and we had that confidence and belief and

538
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: we wanted the season to keep going. And I think

539
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: that's where the Niners are right now. They just have

540
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: so much confidence in what they're doing and they've they've

541
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: got the recipe of the formulas, and I was just

542
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: about continuing that trajectory of what they're doing in practice

543
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: there operation and then taking onto the field there. I

544
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: don't think it's a you know, a situation is like

545
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: hard to maintain that because confidence plays such a huge

546
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: role in the NFL, not just from a player's perspective individually,

547
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: but also as a team. And they have the confidence

548
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: right now and what they're doing offensively as a scheme.

549
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: You know in the players that they're playing next to

550
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: everybody doing their job, and they're also I feel the

551
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: individual players understanding how important their role is too. It's

552
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: not just about making the huge play, but it's about

553
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: doing what your job is on that particular play so

554
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: someone else might be able to make the huge play.

555
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: And I think we're seeing that right now over the

556
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: last month. And once you kind of get that, it's

557
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: snowballs and becomes easier and harder, harder, harder to stop.

558
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: Forty nine is looking to keep that confidence that Joe

559
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: is talking about rolling into Lumen Stadium Blumen field. It's

560
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: one of those names. I'm not gonna let Joe describe

561
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: what the place is called, because we're gonna hear got

562
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: hot garbage. But nonetheless forty Niners rolling, but Seattle not

563
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: so much, hopefully can uh. They're dealing with confidence issues

564
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: of their own. So for the worst continent of the

565
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: worst confidence that I've ever seen, you know, Pete Carroll,

566
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: for all that trash that you talked, he you know,

567
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: I saw a quote where he was like, I don't

568
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: have the I don't know why we're not performing this way.

569
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: Like that is your job as a coach, that that's

570
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: what you do. You you have to figure it out.

571
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: And man, this bad confidence from Pete Carroll, bad confidence,

572
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: hot trash from Russell Wilson's play, um, just the overall

573
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: hot garbage um from everywhere there. Actually, I would say

574
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: that the other defense is playing pretty good last the

575
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: last couple of months. They're not at all hot garbage.

576
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: But offensively, man, they can't move anybody off the line

577
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmings. They can't run the ball. I hope, I

578
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: hope the Niners, man, they bear not laying egg because

579
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: this is a hot garbage team and I just looking

580
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: to hopefully capitalize off of all of that hot garbage

581
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: backs coming from Joe Staley. Now myself, Joe just a

582
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: regular old Joe. I can't call him former or forty

583
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: Niners left tackle NBC Sports analyst Joe Staley. But nonetheless, Joe,

584
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time. This was absolutely incredible. We appreciate

585
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: your insight, uh firsthand, as a guy that's been on

586
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: the field with this team and now on the other

587
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: side with us in the press box having to be quiet.

588
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: We appreciate the time. And uh, let's let's get together

589
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: sometime soon. All right, all right, definitely definitely thanks for

590
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: having me on and look forward to more conversations on

591
00:32:53,080 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: the road. Is just another seb as the
