Speaker 1: hanging out pretty often lately. We've We've got to chat

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: during State of the Franchise. Before that, we chatted after

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: the draft before the draft. How are you doing? What's

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: going on in Greg Papa's world? I'm doing great and

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: you and I've been doing a lot of these over

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: the years, during that incredible run to the super Bowl

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: last year, at the super Bowl State of the Franchise,

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 1: all of that. But did you say this is the

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: first ever podcast, So obviously Garoppolo was busy today, Kyle's

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: not doing something else, John's with the family. I mean,

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: you couldn't get a better guest Guiana than than me.

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: I feel like if you are going to start a podcast,

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: you got to go with a bang and who's better.

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: What name? Not a Jimmy Garoppolo, not a Kyle Shannon,

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: and not a John Lynch. We want the Voice of

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners, Greg Poppa on the forty

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: Niners Official Podcast. Well, if you want to bang, he's

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: just down the street. He's my neighbor. Is he forty?

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: So we can go bang bang? Not a gag. You

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: want to bang? You want to bang from me forty,

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: don't you? Is that really your neighbor? He is, he's

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: my neighbor down the street. And I think you know,

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell him this, but I think one

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: time at a forty Niner touchdown this year, I may

29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: just go touchdown, bang bang. Not a guy. But if

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: I have to pay him like some huge royalty check,

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I can do that, but I may

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: do that once. I think I think he would appreciate

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: in and I think a lot of the faithful will

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Isn't that crazy that you create a song

35
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: that's now adopted by a team and it's kind of

36
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: it's it was like the theme of the season, and

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: if you think about it, I mean, I don't know

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: when the last time the forty Niners adopted a song

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: like that, but they did make it to the super Bowl.

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give bang bang about that one. I

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: could see Kamdown doing the bad dance. You know what

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I should, I should redo the intro

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: to this podcast and we should maybe no, we should

44
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: have the fort the we are the forty Niners as

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: the yeah yeah no is. My my kids enjoyed this season,

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: especially my daughters. Maybe it was the quarterbacks influence. I'm

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: not sure, but my my daughters got into this football

48
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: season more than ever and they went to a lot

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: of home games. And that's all we ever said around

50
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: our house now because wet. But my daughter went to

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: high school with his son. Song is a pretty good

52
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: high school football player in Montrista Danville. So it seems

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: like every night we come back on bag bag a guy. Yeah,

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: this was a really fun season and and not just

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: for fans watching, but I think also the guys on

56
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: the team. I personally, when I look back at at

57
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: years of different forty Niners rosters and locker rooms, I

58
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: would say, and I might be a little biased because

59
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, I've joined this team that was of the

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: last four years, but you have so many great personalities

61
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: in that locker room. Not saying in years prior there

62
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: haven't been, but there's a lot of vocal personalities, a

63
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun personalities, and social media I think helps

64
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: that you look at guys and obviously the George Kittles,

65
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: you look at the Kindred Boornes, a fun guy who's

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: always dancing. George Joe Staley just left, but he's a

67
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: guy that you know, you want to see more of,

68
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: you want to talk to. He is kind of a

69
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: guy you'd want to go get a beer with. I mean,

70
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: and I just going back to your daughter is going

71
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: to every game, and I would say that a lot

72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: has to do with this locker room and the people

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: in this locker room, and the success doesn't hurt as

74
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: well totally. I think that's why, because if you're gonna

75
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: get you know, not that my daughters are typical sports fans,

76
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: but in order to get, you know, that genre, you've

77
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: got to appeal to people more than just the exits

78
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: and I was of football. They have to be likable

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: people you want to root for. And there's obvious over

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the top personalities, whether it's a Kwan Alexander or Richard

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: Sherman or you know, obviously on offense you got George

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Kittle and and Jimmy and they're just people that you

83
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: like and your root for above and beyond. They're interesting.

84
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: You want to follow them on social media and the

85
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: way I judge it occasionally around a team or if

86
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: you see a guy you say, you're coming down the

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: hallway together and you're heading to you know, two trains

88
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: gonna cry. You know they're coming together for that collision. Course,

89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: there's some guys. When you're on a team with those guys,

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: maybe you duck into a door here and avoid that.

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: You know there's there's no one, there's not a bad

92
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: guy on the team where you're looking to avoid the

93
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: guy or what I'm not gonna say to this guy.

94
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: They're all high quality people, which I think is a

95
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: big part of it, and it starts with ownership Albuido

96
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: people we work daily, Bob Sergeant Bob Lange and his staff,

97
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: obviously Kyle and the coaching staff. They're just great people,

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: engaging people, and I think that's a big part of sports. Yeah,

99
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you can be great, but there's a likability factor where

100
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: maybe some previous forty niner teams not too long ago,

101
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: we're good and they got close, but they didn't have

102
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: that likability. Likability is so important and everything to do

103
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: in life, and it's critically important to sports. If you

104
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: want to bring in people that aren't hardcore football fans.

105
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: I think likability is so important. You can say one

106
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: thing about this team and we'll talk about how good

107
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: they are on the field, but they're also eminently likable,

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: which is which is such a high quality. I couldn't

109
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: agree more. And now you've got me even more excited.

110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: We we have have some things on the docket for

111
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: us to talk about, but you just got me excited

112
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: all over again for football season to start. I mean,

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: I feel like last year on that run the forty

114
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: Niners were on, I didn't want the season to end.

115
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: And Kyle actually spoke during the State of the Franchise.

116
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that in a moment, but

117
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: he was saying, you know, he's ready for training camp

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: to start, and with that, I guess we should just

119
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: jump right in. But before we get started again, this

120
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: is the forty Niners Official You've Got Male podcast sponsored

126
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: So in case everyone hasn't seen it, it's an eight

127
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: part series where we got to speak to John Lynch,

128
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, president, Al Guido, owner Jed York. We got

129
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: to talk to the coordinators, we got to talk to

130
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: the offense, we got to talk to members of defense.

131
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: And I feel like it was needed in this time

132
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: where we haven't had football since February, and you know,

133
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: we had free agency, forty niners, you know, made a

134
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: few moves here and there, we had the draft, and

135
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: then with what's going on in the world, we really

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: haven't had much. So I feel like, at least for me,

137
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: State of the Franchise was a good check in. It

138
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: was good to get the pulse of the team going

139
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: coming off of that season that's Super Bowl run. But

140
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: now where's the team's mindset at? How is this team

141
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: approaching the season? So with that, I wanted to talk

142
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: to you about State of the Franchise and what was

143
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaway because you were a part of it

144
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: just as much as I was. Did you have a

145
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: big takeaway from talking to anybody? Was there something you

146
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: learned or maybe a favorite moment. Yeah, I enjoyed all

147
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: of it, and I think the way we did it

148
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: remotely in our respect to homes. It's not the perfect scenario,

149
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: but you know, what we're living through is not perfect,

150
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: but we're making the best of it. But to me,

151
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: it's a snapshot and how they're mingling together. You know,

152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: we could do it at a big auditorium and have

153
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: a couple thousand fans they're and the faithful there. That's

154
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: not really real because when they're on the stage and

155
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: they're in that environment, they're there to entertain a little bit.

156
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: It's not real the way we presented it. Although at

157
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: times it's awkward, you know, to have five six guys,

158
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: but you know, when you're all staff, all squad meeting

159
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: on a teleconference, that's awkward too, But it's the way

160
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: it's done. It's the way we're communicating. I'd like to

161
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: be the same room with you, look you in the eyes.

162
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, we can't do that right now. And for

163
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: the football team, it's the same thing. So it was

164
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: kind of interesting to be around them. And that's the

165
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: way they're learning. They're not at Santa Claar on the field,

166
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: they're learning remotely and so it gave a snapshot into

167
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: how they're doing it. But as far as what what

168
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: you said, my main takeaway when we when we did

169
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: the defensive panel and the way Nick Bosa handle themselves

170
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: and I talked about it on the radio after the

171
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: word I would describe is the heat of Nick Bosa,

172
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: the tenacity, the determination that he has. And I came away.

173
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: You asked most of the guys about the quote unquote

174
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: hangover and how they would react to it, because history

175
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: shows if you get that close and don't win, it's

176
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: hard to go back. Yes, New England did it recently

177
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: when they lost on the Philly Special. They came back,

178
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: but it's hard. The other teams that have done it

179
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: are way back in the seventies. But I when I

180
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: left the team on February two in Miami, I felt

181
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: like they're just too young to feel like, oh, we've

182
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: accomplished it him we're gonna step away. But you don't know,

183
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: you don't know how people are gonna react when they

184
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: have a little success. So Nick Bossa in his unsolicited

185
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: just uh, he almost was angry at the way the

186
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: season went. And I'm like, dude, you're the best defensive

187
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: player I've ever seen as a rookie. Every Sunday, I mean,

188
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: you were that good. It was like he was that

189
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: he was talking about his technique was awful, and I'm like, really,

190
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: I didn't notice you were dominant, but he can be

191
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: that much better. But it was he's genuinely agitated that

192
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: they lost that last game, and you can feel it.

193
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: And he's a young guy. If there's any a guy

194
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: that you had to worry about feeling entitled, it began.

195
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: But he's not. He's a boast. He's not gonna feel

196
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: that way. His brothers not like that, His dad wasn't

197
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: that way, his uncle's not that way. So a lot

198
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: of things, you know, what John said about you know,

199
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: black lives matter, what Kyle said about the seas and

200
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Trent Williams athleticism and the fun we had with guys

201
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: busting on each other. But really, more than anything, it

202
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: was the heat. And there's no way to feel heat

203
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: through these, you know, computers, and it's just not this

204
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: is not a heat transferring communication we have right now.

205
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you felt it, but I

206
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: felt from Boasta like, man, I wouldn't want to be

207
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: blocking this guy next year because you thought he was

208
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: coming out your last year, wait till this year. He

209
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: feels like unfinished business. We don't want to lose that

210
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: last game. And they're more dwelling on the last seven

211
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: minutes and thirteen seconds of the season and not you know,

212
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: being satisfied with the rollicking ride that was the regular season,

213
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: the two playoff games that Levi's the first three quarters

214
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: in five minutes whatever it was, plus minutes to get

215
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: to the last seven thirteen. So it was mainly the

216
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: ferocity and tenacity of Nick Bosa that I felt, I

217
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: I enjoyed, and I wholeheartedly agree with that. And I

218
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: asked Nick, I said, I asked him about year two,

219
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: and and it's a scary question, but how much better

220
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: can you get in year two? Because it's crazy when

221
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: you sit back and think of it. And and yeah,

222
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: he was. It sounded like he was hard on himself,

223
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: but he is just a rookie and he hasn't even

224
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: hit his ceiling yet. So just imagining what a kid

225
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: like Nick Bosa could do, uh, and and then throwing

226
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: javon Kinlaw on that mix and seeing how he develops

227
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: in this first year, which I'm very interested given this

228
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: offseason that this team is having watching this team come

229
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: back together. But one of the keywords that stood out

230
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: to me during State of the Franchise was continuity and

231
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: using that as you head into again, nothing is gonna

232
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: be guaranteed for this team. They're gonna have to work

233
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: twice as hard to get back because there's a target

234
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: on their backs. Now. Teams know what the forty niners

235
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: are capable of. UM, But I'm very excited to see

236
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: how this team with most of their starters, I think

237
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: at all but three starters returning in coming back and

238
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: picking up from where they left off. That's what I'm

239
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: excited about. But one other thing, really briefly that I

240
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoyed. I feel like everyone really enjoys these video

241
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: conferencing sessions. You saw the offensive players being light with

242
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: each other, having but it's like this is just what

243
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: they do. It's like talking on the phone with your friend,

244
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: and and that just goes back to what you were

245
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: talking about. This locker room, like the two trains coming

246
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: at it, like everyone is, everyone gets along everyone. It's

247
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: like a brotherhood. And and that's I don't feel like

248
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: it's something that you know as a person that covers

249
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: the team that I need to sell. This is genuine

250
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and you see it the way the guys interact on

251
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: social media. You see the way the guys interact when

252
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: they're on the field together, and and you saw are

253
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: right in front of your face during the State of

254
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: the Franchise. So that was one of the moments that

255
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed just it just felt genuine, and not

256
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: just the players, even when I had uh Special teams

257
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: coordinator Richard high Tower and defensive coordinator Robert Slid together

258
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: and the way they even interacted. I just really enjoy

259
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: the energy of this team totally. They like each other

260
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: and it's one thing to be likable to the fan base,

261
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: but these guys are around each other so much, and

262
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: you know what they were in practice, I got your back,

263
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: And I think it really is the model of the franchise,

264
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: the organization and all the way down, and that's the

265
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: way they feel. Football is such a you know, I'll

266
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: pick you up, you pick me up, and it's a

267
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: it's the ultimate team game. But I think another highlight

268
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: and it was you dropping the George Kittle backdrop. George

269
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: was a kid and busting on George and then George

270
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: bringing out all the different you know, Jimmy Garoppolos, and

271
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: it says something to who Jimmy is that he can

272
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: be kidded with and not take it the wrong way.

273
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys in sports where you

274
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: couldn't ever have fun with him like that. And if

275
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: you can bust on the quarterback even a little bit,

276
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: like and we'll be busting on but he's too good looking.

277
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: I wish I had that problem. So it's you know,

278
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: kid will have it. All these pictures of them and

279
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: it's just but it speaks to the the kinship of

280
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: how they interact. And then over on defense, you know,

281
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman actually joined our defensive panel a little bit

282
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: late because what was he doing being a dad with

283
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: the kids right now, So but he dropped in late

284
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: and he almost felt like that, you know, dropping in

285
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: among the young guys and uh, you know Fred Warner

286
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: and Eric and Nick on that panel. So it's such

287
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: a big factor. That's why I think the the past

288
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: of this team last year obviously was just to me

289
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: in so many ways. The way I described last year,

290
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: it was the perfect season in so many respects. The

291
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: regular season, even in three games they lost, they didn't lose.

292
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: They went at a time or they the other guys

293
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: won on the last second play. In Baltimore, the overturned Atlanta.

294
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: The Seattle game went to overtime. I never left the

295
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: stadium any one game thinking they're better than the forty Niners.

296
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: I thought forty played them later in the year, they'll

297
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: they'll beat them. Seattle, Baltimore, I felt all of it.

298
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: And then so you had this perfect regular season. You're

299
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: you win thirteen games, that three you lost, You you lost,

300
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: but nobody really beat you. And then you have these

301
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: two rollicking home games in the playoffs. They were just wow.

302
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: They both wound up seventeen point wins, but they felt

303
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: like more. There was never a moment I thought they

304
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: were gonna lose either game, even when Jimmy threw the

305
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: one pick to Kendricks and Digs scored for Minnesota. I

306
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: never felt like they were gonna lose. So your fans

307
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: had this unbelievable you for it back to back home

308
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: playoff games. Who has that. You go to the Super

309
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Bowl and you're holding the best offense and were second

310
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: in points. Baltimore was one, But when Kansas City is

311
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: firing on the way they can fire. That's a great

312
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: it's the state of the yard offense. They've got ten

313
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: points with seven minutes to go on the Super Bowl

314
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: and they're facing a third and fifteen. This is the

315
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: most perfect scenario to get to this situation, and then

316
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: what happens. It's the most imperfect ending. So I think

317
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: that that the perfect setup to get there, and then

318
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: it gets snatched away. It's like a bad Hitchcock movie,

319
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: like how did this happen? So you're mad, and I

320
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: think they have that anger. But now we know the

321
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: off season, I wanted a sense what you were asking,

322
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: is there gonna be a hangover? Is there gonna be

323
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: a sense of satisfaction? None of that. And I think

324
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: part of it is they like each other. The goals

325
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: have not been realized, and they're young. They've got some

326
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: veterans here and there, Trent Now, the new guy left tackle,

327
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of age at some spots on the

328
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, but go around the team, they're young. On defense,

329
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: you've got sure, but beyond that, they're young. So I

330
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: think they're set up to be good in the now

331
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: and they're set up to be good in the tomorrow.

332
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: And the next week, the next year, and they can.

333
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: I think they know if they just don't hold against

334
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: each other and you don't get into that greed, and

335
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: if they if they keep having each other's backs and

336
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: they stay reasonably healthy. Even though last year they had

337
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries, they overtame knows as well. It

338
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: just seemed to set up to win now and tomorrow

339
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: and as time goes on, and that's the ultimate situation

340
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: you want to be in pro sports. That's a good

341
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: point you brought up. I want to jump on the

342
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: forty Niners injury history from last season, but before I

343
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: do that, I want to talk about did you see

344
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: the clip? Rich Eisen was on The Rich Eisen Show

345
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: and his co host was going over what NFL team

346
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: had the best offseason. For everyone that hasn't seen it,

347
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: I've got it a link up on forty niners dot com.

348
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: But his co host is reading the grades from Yahoo Sports.

349
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: Frank Schwab, I believe great of the forty Niners with

350
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: a C minus, and Rich Eisen He's like, absolutely not.

351
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: They're talking about teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We

352
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: know what they did, getting arguably the best quarterback of

353
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: our time in Tom Brady and Gronk, and they're talking

354
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo Bills with Stefon Diggs and and different

355
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: teams of what they've done. But rich Eisen's argument is

356
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: that a team coming off of the Super Bowl doesn't

357
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: need to do much. This team has already got it.

358
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to say it's complete. They've

359
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: got it together, but this team is packaged in preparation

360
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: for already. Um. So they're talking about the moves the

361
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: forty Niners aiden and he's arguing that the forty Niners,

362
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: of all these teams who made these big splashy offseason moves,

363
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: these acquisitions, these trades, the forty Niners are the team

364
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: that had the best off season. With that, Greg, I'm

365
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: going to toss this back to you because I remember

366
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: the last time you and I spoke was right before

367
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: the draft, and this was before state of the franchise.

368
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: Before the draft, you and I had to talk and

369
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: we were talking about prospects that the forty Niners could

370
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: get with that thirte overall pick. And this is before

371
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: the whole trade and everything, obviously, and you were very

372
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: very high on a specific player who actually was available

373
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: at pick number thirteen. Now, you and I we haven't

374
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: gotten to recap since the draft, But now with everything

375
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: that's said and done, I would love to know what's

376
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: been your impression of this forty Niners offense or off season. Well,

377
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the player that I loved was Jerry Judy,

378
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: and I thought I thought he just had a skill

379
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: set that was different than the other players in the draft,

380
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: where he was a a savvy veteran NFL wide receiver

381
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: technique at his route running where the other guys I

382
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: saw the ability to run after catch. But as I

383
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: watched Jerry Judy more and more and more and more,

384
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: I did start to develop a thought in my mind

385
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: where he would not be the perfect kylish and a

386
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: hand player at that position. Uh. Yes, route running is

387
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: critically important, there's no doubt, but there's other elements to it,

388
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: like blocking, physicality, tenacity, And there were a third time

389
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: not saying that Jerry Judy couldn't have been that kind

390
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: of player. And I'll be anxious to see how Denver

391
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: uses him. But he's not gonna block like some otherwide

392
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: receivers that the forty nine have had in here, like

393
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: Pierre Garsaw, remember that block he had a couple of

394
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: years ago, it was eighteen year on the long play

395
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: down the left side line of high he blocked his

396
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: guy like it was a blocking sled all the way

397
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: to the end zone. It was like the blessed block

398
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: you've ever seen from a wide receiver. You know, Jerry

399
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: Judy's probably not going to do that. So when I

400
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: looked at other players that and I didn't know about

401
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: a Yuk and the Kyle covered him as much as

402
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: he wants, as much as he did does. But when

403
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: you look at all the things Kyle wants to run

404
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, they run that pin block with

405
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: a wide receiver comes in motion and the old days

406
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: called a crack block, and that's not really llegal anymore.

407
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: But the wide receiver comes in motion and blocks the

408
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: defensive end. You know, Jerry Judy may be able to

409
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: sound like a basketball player screen on that, but he's

410
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: not gonna lay that guy out the way Brandon you can.

411
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: And I've seen him do that. So I understand what

412
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Kyle saw in Ayuk and the complete complete uh skill

413
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: set of a wide receiver can lie. I was on Uh.

414
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: There's no doubt I liked him even possibly better than

415
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: Derek Brown. I'm not sure Derrek Brown. I think it's

416
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: it's such a big, huge man. He reminded me more

417
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: like a Sam Adams or a Ted Washington and from

418
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: years ago, where this is a pound man that you know,

419
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: how much twitch does he have? Quick twitch to get

420
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: up the field. And then when you look at kin

421
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: law Keani's almost the same size as Derrick Brown, who

422
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: went much earlier in the draft, but he's got more juice,

423
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: more three technique get up the field. So the way

424
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: I would assess it beauties in the eye the beholder,

425
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: and I think ultimately when we look back on this

426
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: draft will assess they could have drafted Jerry Judy, they

427
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: could have drafted Cedee Lamb. You know, these guys go

428
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: to the Hall of Fame, then we're gonna look at

429
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: it differently. But Kyle is a high level talent evaluator.

430
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: So is John Lynch, so is Adam Peters Martin. May

431
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: you all of them. They know what they're doing. So

432
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: if they identified and I think one thing in the

433
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: state of the franchise that John did admit to me

434
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: John Lynch was there were three players that they wanted

435
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: that were there for them to take a thirteen. There

436
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: were three that were there, and I think just by

437
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: putting all of their quotes together, the three were Javon

438
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: kin Law, branded Ayu, and Ceedee Land Possibly CD Kyle

439
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: kind of said it was right there. So let's say

440
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: they got two of the three. Now, so you evaluate

441
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: the board, you evaluate who you like. Now it's a

442
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: poker game. Now we're gonna put on dark glasses. We're

443
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 1: gonna play Texas hold them. I'm not gonna tell you

444
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: what I want. You know, you don't know. Joe Stailey

445
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: is gonna retire. We're gonna play this game. So how

446
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: do I manipulate the board? Well, you know when the

447
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl ended, they had the thirty first overall pick

448
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: in the track. That was it. Now you trade to

449
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: forestd F thirteen. Now I got thirteen and thirty one.

450
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: How do I get these two guys I w at

451
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: the end of this first round? What I want is

452
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: Javon kinn Long Brandon if you're John Lynch, So how

453
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: do I play poker and get that? Well, I dropped

454
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: from thirteen to fourteen, but Jason Lyte and Tampa Bay

455
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: I get an extra later pick that I can put

456
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: into a package that can move me up from thirty

457
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: one five When I see you still there, Jalen Reagor

458
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: went to Philadelphia twenty one. You know, now I can

459
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: play that board. So we'll evaluate it five years from now,

460
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: ten years from now, fifteen, when some of these guys

461
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: are getting gold jackets. If they identified and they did

462
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: ken laud, then they got the two guys that they

463
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: masterfully played a poker board that is the draft of

464
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: the first round to go back one spot, to go

465
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: up six spots now ultimately will decide over time if

466
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: they evaluated the right players. And you know, John Lynch's

467
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: good friend, John Elway took Jerry Judy right after thirteen

468
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: fourteen dropped back he went fifteen, So we'll see. So, uh,

469
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: you can always have a debate about football players, but

470
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't think you can debate right now. They identified

471
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: who they wanted and they got those two guys. So

472
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: I think John's got to get an a plus for

473
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: how he managed the board to get the two eyes

474
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: that he wanted to get in the first round. Here's

475
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: the best word. They masterfully got what they wanted out

476
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: of this draft. We look at being able to have

477
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: your eye on two different guys. You come in essentially

478
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: with just that thirty one overall pick, you get that

479
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: third team moved back, and then come drop move back

480
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: up to get the guy you want, and then just

481
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: gonna throw it in there, and then getting the news

482
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: of Joe Staley and being able to get Trent Williams

483
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: going from one Pro Bowl talent to another. I mean

484
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: Rich Eisen brought it up actually in his talk and

485
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: his chat talking about how Ram's head coach Sean McVeigh

486
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: is like, how how did this even happen? Uh So

487
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: an incredible job by John Lynch, which we will actually

488
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: see this play out over the next few years. You know,

489
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: you can't necessarily evaluate a draft one year, two years

490
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: after it, but definitely excited to see how these young

491
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: players play out throughout their career with the forty Niners. UM.

492

502
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: the mail bag, and I'm gonna jump into a hot topic.

503
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: All right, might get us in a little bit of

504
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: trouble here. But Jamal Adams rumor, I mean, requested to

505
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: be traded from the Jets. Uh. He named the forty

506
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: Niners as a team of choice. So I'm gonna take

507
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: this question from Tyler clamor from Hubert Hubbarts, North Carolina.

508
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: We have some fans in North Carolina. Uh questions, what

509
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the Jamal Adams rumors? And how

510
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: realistic is it that the Forts acquire such an asset. Well,

511
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: the reason it's a rumors Jamal Adams asked for its trade.

512
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams identified teams he wanted to be traded to,

513
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,479
Speaker 1: and the four the Niners are on that list. I

514
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: loved him coming out in the draft. I remember his

515
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: father as a running back with the New York Giants.

516
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: Plays different position Obviously, Jamal Adams is a great, great player.

517
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: There is no doubt. He has a unique skill set.

518
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: There's no doubt. Uh. He's more of the traditional in

519
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: the box type of safety. He's a great blitzer and

520
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets, Greg Williams, the defensive coordinator,

521
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: is known for his exotic overload blitzes and their number

522
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: one socker last year came from the third level of

523
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: the defense. Jamal Addams had six and a half sacks.

524
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: That's unusual. So he's he can do anything you want

525
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: with him. He can man match tight ends. If you

526
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: ever get into a situation again where you're playing the

527
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in a big football game, you can

528
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: put Jamal Adams on Travis Kelsey and to take him

529
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: all day if you wanted to do that. Forty Niners

530
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: don't typically play that way, but they could with this

531
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of a special talent on both sides, Kelsey and

532
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: then the guy who gotta take away. So he's there's

533
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: not a fullaw to his game. So how do you

534
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: get him? Well, Joe Douglass the Jets to him. I

535
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: think he is open to trading him. I think he's

536
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: got to be a little miffed by that this young

537
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: player in the middle of his rookie deal, and I

538
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: know he's over achieved it, but there's a process this

539
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: league that he's been so outspoken. So if you wanted

540
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: to engage him, what is the compensation you have to

541
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: pay to get him as far as draft picks and players?

542
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: To me, that would be excessive. Uh So it's willing

543
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: to have a conversation, but I think the bigger hurdle

544
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: later on would be how do you pay him? At

545
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: the end of this, you've got to satisfy this player

546
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: altherwise used to hold out on you as the same.

547
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, maybe I'll want to play under the current

548
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: rookie deal with the forty niners because they're a great team,

549
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: but maybe he won't. And that's of the reason that

550
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: he's he wants out. So can you afford him and

551
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: redo George's deal? And look at what Trent Williams has

552
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: and the possibility of a rollback on the salary cap

553
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: next year based on the economic huge question mark we

554
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: have this year, So there's a lot of factors. Is

555
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: he a player you'd engage in trade talk? Hell? Yeah,

556
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: he's a great player. How do you get him, what

557
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: do you have to give up to get him is

558
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: going to be excessive? And then how do you pay him?

559
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: So I'm sure they're doing their due diligence on all

560
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 1: of this, but I would put it in the category

561
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: for right now highly unlikely. Now that may change. You know,

562
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe a year from now the Jets still have him

563
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: and he's still out there, and you know, the the

564
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: the the the want of Joe Douglas is less now

565
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: because I got an unhappy guy. You know, maybe that's

566
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: something you kicked down the road. Uh Odell Beckham Jr.

567
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: I think it's a sim their thing. The forty Niners

568
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: wanted to be in on those talks, but they couldn't

569
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: quite pull it off. They haven't done it yet, doesn't

570
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: mean they'll never do it. So I would think as

571
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: far as the here and now, it's unlikely. But that's

572
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: something to file away. And if you're a forty Niner

573
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: fan and you want to look at Jamal Adams tape,

574
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: uh NFL is giving it to you now for free.

575
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: Go look at him. I mean, he's a fantastic football player.

576
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: There's no doubt he's that good of a player. Now

577
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: as you're saying this, I'm looking at the amount of

578
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: the number of guys at the forty Niners have to

579
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: pay next season. Not only are you trying to lockdown

580
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: George Kittle, but you do have guys like Trent Williams

581
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: up next, and it's like, actually a long list of

582
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: guys who were set to hit free agency, and you

583
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: gotta look at also the forty Niners cornerbacks. I believe

584
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: not one will be on the roster or is under

585
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: contract heading into next season. So they look, you know,

586
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: you say, Richard Sherman's will and Kawan Williams is one.

587
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: K one is one of the most underrated slot corners,

588
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: and that that's a hard find. Those guys make money.

589
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: Corners make money, and the guys then go in the

590
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: slot make money. He's fantastic, they love him, and then

591
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: witherspooning mostly so the four main guy. I think there'll

592
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: be other guys that will push for a roster spot

593
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: uh this year, But if you're right, none of those

594
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: are under contracts. So I don't know you mean, but

595
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: one thing about the NFL is you can't pay them all.

596
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: Otherwise the Forest Buckner would still be a forty nine

597
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: if this was like baseball or basketball, where yet there's

598
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: a cap. They're kind of but they're soft caps. If

599
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: ownership wants to absorb luxury tax penaltier they call it

600
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: in baseball competitive balance tax, they would would do that.

601
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: In the NFL, there's a hard cap. This year. You

602
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: cannot go and nickel over a h point two million dollars.

603
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: That's it. It's different. So you can't pay them all.

604
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: So to your point, yeah, and then how would that

605
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: look if you let some of these guys go that

606
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: are part of the brotherhood and I got your back

607
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: and got you there to go get a Jamal Adams.

608
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you do that one day, but I

609
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: think you know that that that's how locker rooms get

610
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: splintered apart, where we're not paying to keep our own.

611
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring it. This guy is a great player,

612
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: understand that. So there's there's a lot of guys you

613
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: need to pay and some of these they're not gonna

614
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: be able to keep the mall. That's the hard part,

615
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: as we learned from default Keana, because of the mathematics

616
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: of this league, you can't keep them all. That's the

617
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 1: prime example right there. You brought up two names. As

618
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: we were talking about forty Niners cornerback, two guys that

619
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: will be battling for that starting cornerback spot opposite Richard

620
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: Sherman and Emmanuel Moseley Anna Kello Witherspoon, both who are

621
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: not under contract next year. But I said that because

622
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,959
Speaker 1: I wanted to transition to someone else's question. With training

623
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: camp right around the corner, I mean there will be

624
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: a out of position battles um. The league announced that

625
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: training camp is expected to start on time, which is

626
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: set for July. Hailey from San Jose wants to know,

627
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: well San Francisco keep three quarterbacks on its roster again

628
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: this season or do you think Kylan John might look

629
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: to move on from Nick Mullins or c J. Bethard.

630
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: It needs to fill other areas on the roster. Now,

631
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: I think in this world that we're living in now

632
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: with this virus automomous, I think this is one year

633
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: that you want to have three to be sure to

634
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: in three. Some teams have two on the roster, one

635
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: of the practice squad, but I honestly think, uh, you

636
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: may want to have three on the roster and a

637
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: fourth on the practice squad. You may want to have

638
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: another one a phone call away. Uh. One thing about

639
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: this virus is when it's around to concentrate to the people,

640
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: whether it's a penitentiary assisted living environment, a cruise ship,

641
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: a weight room in a college environment, a lot of

642
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: people get it. Not just one or two, but a

643
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: high percentage of people. So what what do you do

644
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: if you have an outbreak of one position? Uh? And quarterback.

645
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's any more important than another position,

646
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: but it kind of is because it's the it's the

647
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: nerve center of the offense. And if you lose your quarterback,

648
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: what do you do? And you know how many guys

649
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: have knowledge of the way the offense works, the playbook. So, uh,

650
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: it may not be these three, but I think you

651
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: want three. And I do think that they like these guys.

652
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: I know they do, and they've had they've had old

653
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 1: Church to trade them at other junctures. Now you are

654
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: in the contract situation where you know time is running

655
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: out on your control over these guys. But I don't

656
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: see them making a change right now. And I didn't

657
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: feel that way anyway, But I think in the world

658
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: we're living in, but this virus is certainly a big

659
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: part of how you're planning your roster and all the rooms.

660
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: I think you want to have as many capable people

661
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: to play that position that ever, so I think you

662
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: want three maybe, and maybe you want to have a

663
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: fourth on the practice squad and then a guy a

664
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: phone call away, because what happens if you have an

665
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: outbreak in the quarterback group. That's a fabulous point because

666
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about how much of this pandemic

667
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: will necessarily affect the depth along certain positions. I would

668
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: have assumed coming into the season that you know, we

669
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: saw what Jimmy is capable of, and Kyle has doubled

670
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: down on on his faith that Jimmy can take it

671
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: to the next level next year. So in my mind,

672
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: I believe that it's a possibility the forty Niners could

673
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: maybe unload one of their quarterbacks. But when you make

674
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: that point, it makes a lot of sense. And then

675
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: also with that being said, this is the first year

676
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: that now the fifty three man roster is no longer

677
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: fifty three. It's been bumped up toft. So you now

678
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: have a little it's not a lot, but you still

679
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: have a little more wiggle than that you had had.

680
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: Seasons prior, and this could be one of the the

681
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: options and one of the ways that you're able to

682
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: stash another quarterback. And the practice squad also went from

683
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: ten to twelve this year. Talk about expanding the practice

684
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: squad from twelve to sixteen in light about what I'm

685
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: talking about, Uh, so you know, I don't even know

686
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: what the roster. I think we may have more. Uh.

687
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,479
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what makes like Baseball is doing.

688
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: They've expanded their roster to thirty, but they've also got

689
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: another thirty that are available. Now. Baseball is different because

690
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: you have a minor league system and you you all

691
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: these guys anyway. But I you know, I don't even know. Uh,

692
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, when we cut from nine down to seventy

693
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: five to fifty five, I think you may want to

694
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: keep more players on the roster, uh that know your system.

695
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: Uh and whether or not you know the quarterback room.

696
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: Say you go to sixteen in the practice squad, maybe

697
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: you want to keep too on the roster and then

698
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: two more on the practice squad. So there's ways to

699
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: play with it. But I think in light of what's

700
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: going on, uh, the way you build your roster and

701
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: who you have on your roster roster and then who

702
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: is at you're ready listed and get to But if

703
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: you don't put them on your roster, some other team

704
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: they put them on their roster. Now they got them,

705
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think in this special circumstance we're living

706
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: with during this pandemic, roster composition and roster depth is

707
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: going to be way more important than any other year.

708
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: And also not just a virus. These guys have not

709
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: been in football uniform, they haven't put cleats, so I

710
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have a soft tissue injury kind of

711
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: situation when they go to camp, where guys you're gonna

712
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: just gonna get calves and you know, polls, and it's

713
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: gonna slow people back. So I think all of it,

714
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: you've got to anticipate just a wave of all different

715
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: types of maladies coming into play where you you gotta

716
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: be deep. And I saw that last year in the

717
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: preseason forty Maybe they're behind at halftime in preseason games,

718
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: but they were deeper than other teams. They win the

719
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: game in the second half, third quarter, fourth quarter, and

720
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: that shows the depth of the team. And we also

721
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries last year all over the team.

722
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: And the depth came into play. So I think it

723
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: serves that that the strength of the team also was

724
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: how deep they are. This is a perfect segue into

725
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: a question from Carlos Acosta from Fightville, North Carolina, another

726
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: North Carolina and joining in appreciate you guys, um, great question,

727
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: and this is right along the lines of what we're

728
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: talking about when we're discussing the roster expanding from fifty

729
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: three to fifty five and then also the injuries from

730
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: last season. But how is center Weston Richberg? And then

731
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: is Ben Garland the number two center or what they

732
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: moved Daniel Brunskill over from right guard in case of

733
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: dree How do you see this playing out for San

734
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: Francisco this year? Well, Richburg is important, I mean the

735
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: center in the zone blocking scheme is critically important. And

736
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't think Western has been completely healthy since he's

737
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: gotten here. I think he's been playing with he's got

738
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: he's got, you know, some existing injuries in his knees

739
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: his last year with the Giant Sea that I had trauma, concussion.

740
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: But he's a terrific player, and you center is important

741
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: in any scheme you want to run. But really it's

742
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: important in the zone blocking scheme. As far as hitting landmarks, Uh,

743
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: it's also critically important in your past protection and that's

744
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 1: one area I think the forty Niners need to improve

745
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: from last year is protecting Jimmy less Sacks, Let's hits,

746
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: and in particular in the middle of the offensive line. Um,

747
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: you know, he got hurt last year and you want

748
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: to keep him healthy. So always critical. As far as

749
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: the backup position, before you start to pencil Brunt go

750
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: in as your backup center. I think he's got a

751
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: chance to be your starting right guard, and I think

752
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: that's one of the main battles going into training camp.

753
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: You talked about the opposite corner opposite to Sherman, between

754
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: a color weatherspoon and the manual. Mostly that's a critical

755
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 1: position because they're gonna attack that guy. They're they're afraid

756
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: of Sernman. They've shown that. So that guy is gonna

757
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: get a lot of volume of balls. You've gotta be

758
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: strong there. You're only as strong as your weakest spot.

759
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: So you can roll coverage to help him a little bit,

760
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: but that spot's key, and I think the one if

761
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: I had to go through I could I could pretty

762
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: much tell you who's going to start, you know, outside

763
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: of injuries, and we don't want of the injuries obviously,

764
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm knocking on the wood here, but the right guard

765
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: and the opposite corner of the sherman gonna be huge.

766
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: Um and so I think bronze skill is gonna be

767
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: in the mixed, Tom Copt and other people there. But

768
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: Richburg's critically important his health and it's a strong base.

769
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: I think he played a lot the last couple of

770
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: years and necessarily wasn't at his best with his legs.

771
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: We didn't know he was gonna make the opener last

772
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,919
Speaker 1: year in Tampa. Yeah, soil the game. He didn't play

773
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: at all in the preseason. So having him strong and

774
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: sturdy is so critical, uh in his mind of what

775
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: he does there. We'll see. There's other people you can

776
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: move around there. I think Garland would be the guy

777
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: going into it. But you know, you'd like to have

778
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: the way you look at it is you want to

779
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: have a swing and cheer your guy, the guy that

780
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: could back up a center and and golf guard spot

781
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: it you had. You gotta have a backup guard that

782
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: can snap the ball if the center goes down in

783
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: the middle of a game. But you'd like to have

784
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: versatility there to be able to to move people around.

785
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 1: And you were talking about the roster going from Uh,

786
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: there's also an advantage if you could have an eighth

787
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: offensive line, but up on game day for the kind

788
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: of composition of funding. So you want to swim tackle, uh,

789
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: and we'll see you ultimately that's gonna be. They're gonna

790
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: get Seawan Coleman back, but other people could compete with him.

791
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: He got hurt last year. He wasn't available to do it.

792
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: So you want to swing tackle, you want to back

793
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: up set, or you want a guy that could also

794
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: swing it inside. So H but I wouldn't put brunt

795
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: Skill necessarily in the mix and backup center because I

796
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: think he stands a good chance and I think he's

797
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna go into camp compete to be the starting right guard. Right.

798
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 1: I will hardily agree with that a couple there's quite

799
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: a few, well not quite a few, but but you

800
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: brought up corner and you brought up right guard, and

801
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: we're missing any other standout competition that we can look

802
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: forward to. Uh. Well, we're now in July, so that

803
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: we can look forward to later on this month. I mean, yeah,

804
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how's how's the base? You mean your your

805
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: defensive line is different in your base version sub package. Uh.

806
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: I think the huge question mark is d Ford's health.

807
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: And uh, if d Ford is a full go healthy

808
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: guy the way he was in eighteen, his last year

809
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: in Dance the City, then I think he can be

810
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: not only certainly nickel, but it could be in your base.

811
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: And if he's in your base, then your two defensive

812
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: ends are d Ford and Nick Bosa, which means Armstead

813
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: could slide inside. I didn't think that's not just a

814
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: health uh evaluation with d But where's Armstead of his best?

815
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: Do you want them as a base end? And then

816
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: d may come in or if he's good enough. So

817
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: you're you're competing with people like kind Law. So when

818
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: you look at d Ford, if he's in the base,

819
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: we move Armstead inside. So then you're comparing forward really

820
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: the kind Law for Forward versus D J. Jones. So

821
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: there's a there's a battle inside there among those guys.

822
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: So I think the compis I think I know what

823
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: the nickel is gonna be. What's the base gonna be?

824
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: Is how healthy is D and D versus kin Law?

825
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: D versus d J. Jones. D J. Jones versus kin Law.

826
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: You don't wind me up rotating them all. Uh, you know,

827
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: a healthy Qua next year versus Dreg green Law now

828
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: in his second year of the system is better. I

829
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: think they would be your three linebackers in your base

830
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: at Sam and Will in your sub package. How does

831
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: that play out? I think there's even a discussion about

832
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: Quaski Tart at safety. I think he would be the guy.

833
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: But some of these other young safeties can make a push.

834
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: Uh no guarantee there and also helped as a big

835
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: part of it. So a lot of things. I think

836
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, wide receiver room. You know,

837
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: now what happens. You don't have Emmanuel standards? Do you

838
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: bos a question mark? With the Jones fracture? Richie's got

839
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: the risk? Is you because he gonna starts a rookie?

840
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: Is he that good? It's you know, I know he's good,

841
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: but that's hard, you know, so it worse Kendrick versus

842
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: the other guys, other young guys that are coming back.

843
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: So and you know, we would have more of an

844
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: idea about this. Had there been true on field organized

845
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: team activities, we'd be able to at love score to

846
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: look at this pot, look away that's in there. How

847
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: are they subbing a man? You could tell? We get

848
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: tips by wow Robert Sali is using caseras using uh

849
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: D more in the base here, So that's kind of

850
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: a hint. There's been no O T S. They're all

851
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: doing at the A zoom We don't know. So when

852
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: they go to training camp, I think a lot of

853
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: this is that's the beauty of a football team. You

854
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: have these individual skills and then you put it all

855
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: together a jigsaw puzzle in sub packages and your piece.

856
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: And right now we don't have an idea what they're

857
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: thinking because we're not watching it. So I think there

858
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: are more question marks in the base and the nickel

859
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: based on just availability injury. So to me, it's still

860
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: an ongoing work in progress. You don't know yet absolutely,

861
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: and the picture are gonna become much clear, at least

862
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: for us once training camp comes rolling around. We haven't

863
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: been able to see this team during O T A

864
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: S in mini camp, so I think we all to

865
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: have these these questions of how will this team look

866
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: on those base downs on nickel downs, And I will say,

867
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: as you brought it up, I do believe. Last year,

868
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: I will say the position group I was most intrigued

869
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: by was the defensive line, and that's because of bringing

870
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: in DeFord and having Nick Bosa. How will these two

871
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: performed together? Both of them did not play in the

872
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: preseason due to injury, came back in the regular season.

873
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: So that was one of the position groups that I

874
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: was excited about coming into this year. I will say

875
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: it will be the wide receivers. You're without Emmanuel Sanders. Yes,

876
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: this time last year we did not have them or

877
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: have him, but seeing how that group developed over that

878
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: season once he joined before that trade deadline. And then

879
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 1: how does Brandon I how does he fit? Does he

880
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: get those starting groups as a rookie, how does he

881
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, understanding Kyle's playbook, how is he able to

882
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: adapt with that and not having those physical reps not

883
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: until summertime, just months before giving that limited time. So

884
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: that's one of the position groups that I think I'm

885
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: most excited to see, uh come training camp. Is there

886
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: one that you're eyeing more than others? No, that's that's

887
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: clearly one. There's no doubt. I mean, for a great team,

888
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: the defending NFC champions do not really know what the

889
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver room is is unusual, but there's factors for that.

890
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: And Uh, Trent Taylor, where is he at? You know,

891
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: we didn't see him all last year, the second year

892
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: off the back injury. He wasn't greatest rookie year though,

893
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: the way he jibed with Jimmy, especially in the spot

894
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: on third down. Trent Taylor is healthy, He's a factor,

895
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: great camp totally. I mean before he had the Jones

896
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: last year, Taylor was maybe the best receiver on the team.

897
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis, the time is now, You've got to start

898
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: making a move. And if we're also talking about that

899
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: that group and we get down to five maybe six,

900
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: we gotta hunter trade. You gotta step up now. The

901
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: opportunity is there with the Deebo injury, Ritchie injury. Jake

902
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: heard that first preseason game last Dar sinst the Cowboys.

903
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: He was the best. He get two touchdowns. Where's he at?

904
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin? No one talks about him. I saw that

905
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: guy a lot in the NFL. He's a good player.

906
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 1: He's had some injury, so what can he be? So?

907
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: I think you're right now. I think I think we

908
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: kind of know how the rest of it's gonna work

909
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: with the exception of one or two spots here and there.

910
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: But the wide receiver room, I mean, who knows how

911
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna go down. Mark, he's Goodwin's gone,

912
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is gone, Debo, Is he gonna be able

913
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: to make the opening bell and for the start of

914
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: the year against Arizona on September? And if he can't,

915
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: then you tell me. I mean, you could pick two

916
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 1: starting wide receivers right now, I could pick two others

917
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: and we could all be we could both be wrong,

918
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't be the four for who might start

919
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: on opening day we have, debly, So if for a

920
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: team is coming off being the number one seat of

921
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: the conference champions, tell me when that's ever happened. So,

922
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: without a question, the wide receiver composition is going to

923
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: be the biggest question mark going into camp. We got

924
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot to look forward to over these next thirty

925
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: days until camp starts. But Greg, honestly, I feel like

926
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: you and I we can sit here and talk for

927
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: hours about forty Niners football. Uh, It's great to have

928
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: you on. We appreciate your insight, We appreciate having you here.

929
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: On the forty Niners. You've got mail podcasts sponsored by Manscape. Um,

930
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: you know I'm not gonna let you get out of here.

931
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have you back soon. Don't don't

932
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: think this is the one and done. We gotta have

933
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 1: you back on the podcast. There's other people I'm we've

934
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: connected with this franchise. They are far more interesting than me,

935
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: So I'm sure you'll find others. But I'm disappointed that

936
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: it's over. I could go another hour, honestly because the

937
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: conversation we just had I'm gonna have with myself. In

938
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: my mind, I'm gonna go practice my touchdown hall. I

939
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: got nothing else to do. So whenever you want to

940
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: talk forty nine or football, you know it's my passion.

941
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: So if you have Garoppolo all lined up for one

942
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: week and Jimmy calls and said I got to just

943
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: meeting Kyle called me and I can't make it, then

944
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: I could be your backup at anything to look to you.

945
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: You need me whatever you need me good to know.

946
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if Jimmy can bring this

947
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: type of knowledge and expertise that you just did. He's

948
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: a great guy. He's very knowledgeable, he's a quarter face
