1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this week's episode of the forty Niners

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: You've Got Mail Podcast, presented by Manscaped. I am thrilled

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: to be joined by who, I would like to say

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: is one of my very good friends. He has a

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: very close ties to the forty Niners and the NFL

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: as a whole. Uh, former forty Niners head coach and

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: current NFL network analysts and host, and he literally everything

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: else that that all encapsulates. Um, Mr Steve maryu Chee's coach?

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everything else? How are you doing thing

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing? Times? Now? Back in the playoffs? Here we go, man,

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, who would have thought, which I actually wanted

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: to ask you about that. Did you have a chance

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: to kind of watch what happened in Week eighteen that

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: season finale, forty Niners down seventeen zip And literally if

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: you turn the channel and decided to watch something else

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: and saw the end score, you might have been mind blow. Yeah,

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: I did watch it? Did you? You were down there

18
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: so far? Weren't you? You know when those two teams

19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: were I was right across the street at our NFL

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: network studios, and it's brand new, and it's just like

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: so far on the in a studio form. It's fantastic,

22
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: so Disneyland for football lovers, it really is. I can't

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: wait to show it to you. It's spectacular. But um,

24
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: I was watching the game and I couldn't help but

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: think just how far these two organizations have come. From

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: playing my first job in the end Phillips with the Rams. Okay,

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: you didn't even know that it was the Rams quality

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: control anyway, then of course the forty Niners, and we

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: played in Candlestick a baseball field right and Anaheim Stadium

30
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: when I was coaching with the Rams of baseball field,

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and then I'm thinking, oh my god, now it's so fine,

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: and Levi Stadium too, magnificent venues that that we're that

33
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: we're both playing in here with the Rams and the Niners,

34
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: and look how far we've come. And then this it's

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: a heck of a rival. It's been for a long time.

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: And the game didn't disappoint it right now to the wire.

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: I I will tell you, I had some doubts when

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: it got to be seventeen to zip and I'm going,

39
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, are they going to change quarterbacks because

40
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy's thumb is bothering him he can't throw the ball,

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, and that kind of well, and then they

42
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: got that field goal right before the half, and then

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: they double dipped, you know, they got some points before

44
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: the half, and then right after the third the third

45
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: quarter started too, So all of a sudden, we had

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: a football game, and and it was spectacular and I

47
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: you know, I mean a lot of people played well,

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: of course, but but to me, it came down to

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: those trenches both sides of the ball. The big guys,

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: big guys of the Niners just kind of handled the

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: big guy ice of the Rams. And that's not to

52
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: say Deebo didn't have a great game, and you know,

53
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: everybody had great in terms of skill positions At Jimmy

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: g throws for three and in sixteen yards with a

55
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: thumb that's hanging off. But um, I thought they won

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: that game because they were more physical. And that's been

57
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: the story with the Niners and the Rams last six games,

58
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: right yeah, yeah, uh forty Niners have rattled off six

59
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: straight wins against the Rams, and you would think just

60
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: kind of looking at where this Rams team is, and

61
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I think they were coming off five straight wins, and

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: you knew that they were eager to kind of get

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: that win and finally get that taste out of your

64
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: mouth over the forty Niners. But you said it the trenches.

65
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: A lot was determined with what happened there. You saw

66
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: the way that they started to rattle. It looked like

67
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford at a point where some of his throws,

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he was throwing short and missing receivers, especially

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: in that third quarter. Um, but I had so much

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to open this up and talk to you about.

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: But now I kind of want to jump in. You're

72
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: talking about Jimmy playing with basically a whole thumb dangling

73
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: off and being able to rally back. I know it

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: was a slow start and but he kind of caught

75
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: his footing and really got that team into it in

76
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: those final final half and over time. But let's talk

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: about this quarterback situation as a whole, because you and

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: I got the chance to talk during training camp, and

79
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, alright, if you were the

80
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: head coach of the forty Niners, right now, you have

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: this new quarterback who you know, everyone is so enticed

82
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: by his athleticism and his ability to run and and

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: what he can do in that big arm. But you

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: also have a guy like Jimmy Garoppolo who's a proven

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: veteran and who has the record to match it. But

86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of inconsistencies there. And I asked you,

87
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: I said, you know, what would you do in this situation?

88
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: You said you'd go with what you know, and that's

89
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. But what do you think of how the

90
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: forty Niners quarterback situation has played out and how they've

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: handled it well? They obviously they're in the playoffs, they

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: handle it well. I did think, I did think ink

93
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: that they would begin, of course with Jimmy g because

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: he's the veteran. He had a winning record, like you mentioned,

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: very good record, and he's gone to the super Bowl

96
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: before and his resume is pretty darn good. Yeah, everybody's inconsistent.

97
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: But but being that, you'd trade up and and and

98
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: drafted a trade lance from North Dakota State, but a

99
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: program that is um don't get me started about When

100
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: I was playing at Northern Michigan, we were a big

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: rival with North Dakota State. Anyway, I thought trade Lance.

102
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I thought Trey Lance would figure into the game plan

103
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: a little bit here, A little bit there have a

104
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: little package for him, and of course it didn't it

105
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: didn't end up that way because he got a little

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: set back with injury and everything. But uh, and then

107
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: on the other hand, Jimmy's playing well and and so

108
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: there's no need to change and there's no need to

109
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: prepare for next year or any of those things. It's

110
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: like staying here now. Let's see how far we can

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: go right now with Jimmy. And he's delivered. Let's face it,

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: he's delivered. I mean, they run the football like crazy.

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: And I hate to say this, regardless of whatever whatever

114
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: running backs back there, they just they just keep pushing

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: them out there. The rookie Elijah Mitchell has been doing

116
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: a great job, but that receiving corps is doing a

117
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: great job. And Deebo Samuel is one of the most

118
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: intriguing guys in the league with his versatility. And that's

119
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: what we're looking for with players, not just at the

120
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: receiver position, because you know, we're seeing receivers that are

121
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: able to play in the slot, able to play run

122
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: the football a little bit, maybe through a little bit,

123
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: maybe return a little bit. Um. You get some of

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: those guys that can do that, like Alman Cameric plays

125
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: kind of both, and so Christian McCaffrey, and you know

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. You love, that kind of versatility.

127
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: It's it's really hard to drive defensive coordinators cuckoo. Um.

128
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: So he's certainly delivered. But Brandon Ayuk and John Jennings,

129
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: they really come along too, and they compliment George Kittle,

130
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: Who's Who's Who's I love him to death. He's a

131
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: crazy guy, boy, and uh talk about verse all that guy.

132
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. You were just a kid when he

133
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: was coming out of Iowa. But he was a blocker

134
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: over there and that's what they used him for against

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the Rams. Let's go block and but he's certainly play

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: slot and receiver and ben anything he wants in the

137
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: passing game too. So who I like this team and

138
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: it starts with the offensive line, yes, but these skilled

139
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: players are really playing well right now down the stretch.

140

144
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: mentioned Deebo's name. Do you think that now he's kind

145
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: of becoming that prototypical wide receiver that maybe some of

146
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: these head coaches and offensive coordinators are kind of looking

147
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: at in the draft, somebody that can kind of do

148
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: it all. Yeah, but good luck finding him. I mean,

149
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: he's unique, he's rarer, you know, I mean, being wishful,

150
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: wishful thinkers. Yeah, let's find ide boat, you know, uh,

151
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: South Carolina gamecock, right and so um. But that's that's

152
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: hard to do. It's hard to be He's kind of

153
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: a thick built, solid built wide receiver that can go

154
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: in the backfield and and sometimes have more carries than

155
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: catches and and uh you know, you know, with stand

156
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: that physical pounting that are running back, we'll we'll, we'll

157
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: endure sometimes. And then of course he threw the touchdown

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: pass man. That was a nice spiral. And then you

159
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: can return kicks. I mean, you can probably put them

160
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: out of that safety and you could play there too

161
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: if you want them to self popcorn. But you know, yeah,

162
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean it it would be fun to find a

163
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: guy like that in the draft, but there just aren't

164
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: very many. Yeah, yeah, alright, let's let's switch gears. We

165
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: did a lot of looking back and and a little retrospect,

166
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: but now looking ahead, forty Niners kind of snuck their

167
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: way into the postseason. But before talking about this game, Uh,

168
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: you yourself with the forty Niners have based the Cowboys,

169
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: but I'm not mistaking for are times in your career

170
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: and you won three of those matchups. Uh. But even

171
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: before coaching for the forty Niners, there's been a long

172
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: history between the two teams in in in particular this

173
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: just this rivalry. What do you remember of just even

174
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: from your time coaching and even before that, I'm thinking

175
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies one with the catch? What do you remember

176
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: about all of that? I remember a lot of it

177
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: and and so, um, you know you were right. We

178
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: were when I was there. We were three and one

179
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: against them, but they were all regular season games. They

180
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: were all big games, of course. But I remember very

181
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: well the last time we won down in Dallas is

182
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: when we clinched the division my last year down there.

183
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: Remember that was kind of a fun locker room anyway, Um,

184
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: you know the nine in the nineties, what arrival it

185
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: was like, whoever was going to win that game in

186
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: the championship games, gonna win the Super Bowl because those

187
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: were the two best teams in the league. It was

188
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson's bunch against George Sea first bunch and and

189
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: so um, big time rivalry. And Dallas won the first

190
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: two ninety three, and then Steve Young and Jerry and

191
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders came back and one and then went on

192
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. And then uh, you know,

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: so that was really quite a rivalry back there in

194
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: the nineties. But the one that sticks out in our

195
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: mind because it's this week, is two days ago was

196
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the fort anniversary of the catch, uh to white Clark's

197
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: catch against the Cowboys in the NFC Championship game. You

198
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: mentioned it in the one season after the one season

199
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: and and in fact, if you watch the NFL network,

200
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: we did we did some stuff on it, you know,

201
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: drew the play and showed the play and explained the

202
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: play and and everybody in the league run sprint right

203
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: option or if you're left handed, sprint left option, and

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: everybody and sometimes it's even going into shotgun right now.

205
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: And it's a staple play in that West Coast offense.

206
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: But it's a it's an iconic play in the league

207
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: because it began, Let's face it, it began the dynasty

208
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: for the forty Niners. It was their first Super Bowl

209
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: that that game. That catch propelled him into the first

210
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Of course, the defense had to hang on

211
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: for a minute after that. But um, but you mentioned

212
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: the seventies. Yeah, and it's like seventy one the Niners

213
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys met the championship game. Then fifty years ago,

214
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: so it goes back a half a century where the

215
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: games that we play against the Cowboys and we're not

216
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: in the same division end up to be whether the

217
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: regular season or playoffs, end up to be very very

218
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: important kind of games with a lot of superstars and

219
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: very good rival and this this game is no different.

220
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: This game is going to be right up there with it.

221
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: I love that someone asked this. They asked Kyle Shanahan

222
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: this week that if he thinks the guys that are

223
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: currently in the forty Niners locker room have any idea

224
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: of the magnitude of this rivalry, and he's like, to

225
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: be honest, probably not, he said. He makes wedding crasher

226
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: references all the time and they still don't even know

227
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: what that is. So these guys might not know, but

228
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: it is they don't know. They don't know, they know

229
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: TikTok or I don't know what you know. They just yeah,

230
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: they got to get a history lesson every now and then,

231
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, exactly. But but you know, as for

232
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: fans and people that know the history of his team

233
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: in these matchups, it's a pretty big matchup. And after

234
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: a three and five start for the forty Nighters, people

235
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: I feel like began to kind of write this team off.

236
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: And then the team was able to rally back just

237
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season. But are you

238
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: surprised at all that the forty Nighters were able to

239
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: kind of sneak their way into the postseason. They had

240
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: that sixth seed for a while, but one more loss

241
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: and they were out. So you remember when you and

242
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: I were doing training camp together, right, And that was

243
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. We spent the day They're talking

244
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: about this team and everything else. But um, it was

245
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: a team that I felt coming away from that day

246
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: watching a low practice and talk into some guys and

247
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: just observing their roster, I thought for sure, I thought

248
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: for sure that they were going to be a playoff

249
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: team and a Super Bowl contender. Had they stayed healthy

250
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: the year before, of course, and didn't stay healthy, and

251
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: that's just kind of the luck of the draw sometimes

252
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: and and there were some injuries, there were some close

253
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: games or you know whatever that is. Uh, you know,

254
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: you lose to Seattle and in Green Bay and Arizona

255
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: back to back to back, and those are good teams,

256
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, and and and and so they got off

257
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: to a rough start. But boy, the back nine, you know,

258
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: there were seven and two and the two losses where

259
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: one possession of games that they could have won. So

260
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: that's talking about momentum heading into the into the playoffs.

261
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, playing very well in your last nine games

262
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: and so um, and they're healthy or I did you

263
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: see Trent Williams And he practiced today, he practiced, he's back.

264
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: It's looking for him. Well, that's gonna be a key

265
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: because he is certain one of the best players in

266
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: the league. I'm not talking about lineman. I'm talking about players.

267
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 1: He's one of the best players in the league. And

268
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: U if if the Niners, you know, ran the ball

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: like they did last week against the Rams without him.

270
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Of course, Mike McGlinchey has been out for a while too.

271
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: They're playing with new tackles. Getting him back is going

272
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: to help. But but they can be dominating. They can

273
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: be that that blindside guy for Jimmy is really important

274
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and of course is run blocking

275
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: is extraordinary. And so I like that matchup because we

276
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: saw the Philadelphia Eagles with their backups or on the

277
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: ball against the Cowboys, going, oh my god, they can't

278
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: stop the twos here in the first half. It was

279
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: seventeen all in the second quarter and I'm going, this

280
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: is crazy. I mean, this is one one team playing

281
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the starters and the other team playing the backups and

282
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: it's tied. I can't believe this. And so so the Niners,

283
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: I think I like their chances, to be quite honest

284
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: with you, Yeah, you recently, which we we watch you

285
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: all the time on NFL Networks, so of course I

286
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: got to kind of listen to what you're saying and

287
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: apply it to today. But you did say that the

288
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys you see as one of the most complete teams

289
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So, with that being said, going into

290
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: this game and for forts to become more fans, to

291
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: become more familiar with this upcoming upon it, what do

292
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: you see as Dallas's biggest strength and what do you

293
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: see as their biggest area of concern heading into this game. Yeah,

294
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: they have a they have a very good roster, a

295
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: very good young roster with skilled players galore and Dak

296
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: is back. You know, he had the big injury last

297
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: year and then he had the calf injury this year. Uh,

298
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: they've had They've had a bunch of injuries with Mark

299
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: Cooper and CD Lamb and Zeke and you name it,

300
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and Tyran Smith or left tackle who's a great player too.

301
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: But they're back healthy. They're back now except for Michael Gallop,

302
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: one of the receivers. But they've got so darned many

303
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: of them. They're the number one offense in the league. Okay,

304
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: they can They can score points and move the sticks

305
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: man on the ground and in the air, you name it.

306
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: They're very explosive. And then on defense. You know, if

307
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a forty Niner fan, you know

308
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: who Dan Quinn is. I hired him when I was

309
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: coaching here. I heared Dan out of Hofstro. You don't

310
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: even know where Hofstra is, do you. Yeah, so we

311
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: we grabbed him and he was just a young pup

312
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: defensive quality control. That's all a lot of guys get started.

313
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: That's what I did for the Rams a long time ago.

314
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: And he got his feet wet, and he learned how

315
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: to coach, and we learned that he was going to

316
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: be excellent because he was just a workaholic and a

317
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: good guy and a great staff member and uh well,

318
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: and heck, he's been to the Super Bowl as a

319
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: head coach and now he's a defensive coordinator. He's gotten

320
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: going and they lead the league in interceptions, and they

321
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: scored points off interceptions, and then lead the league in

322
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: third down conversions. I mean, the the important stats. They're

323
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: right there. They're very good. And they were missing, you know,

324
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: some guys Randy Gregory and and Trayvon Diggs didn't play

325
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: last week and Michael Parsons they're superstars, and uh so

326
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna get them all back, and so it's gonna

327
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: be a one talented roster against another. And uh so, so,

328
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: I just thought, if if a team like that can

329
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: play and bring their a game and be at their best,

330
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, they can beat anybody. They can beat anybody

331
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: on any given Sunday if they play their best. But

332
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: they have been just like a lot of teams are

333
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: most teams up and down, up and down. Some of

334
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: it has to do with injuries, some of it has

335
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: to do with just mistakes or or lack of execution

336
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: on offense. But that's why it's it's not who who

337
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: the best team is it in the playoffs, it's who

338
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: plays the best on that given Sunday. This podcast is

344
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: day of the week it is. In the wild Card round, um,

345
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: forty Niners will look to travel out to Dallas get

346
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: the job done against the very stout Dallas offense, like

347
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: coach just said, leads leads the league and points. They

348
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: know how to move downfield, they know how to convert

349
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: on third downs um and score points. And meanwhile, you

350
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: have a defense that leads the league in takeaways as well.

351
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: So forty Niners have a tough challenge ahead heading until

352
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: this wild Card round. All right last thing before we go.

353
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: We talked about Dallas and the threat that they have.

354
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about the forty niners. But

355
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: what do you see as the biggest strength for Ford,

356
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: for San Francisco and the biggest weakness heading into Sunday?

357
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: M hm hm. Well, the biggest strength to me is

358
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier, is the big guys. You know,

359
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: when you take a bus and your park at the stadium,

360
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: you let your big guys get off first, and that

361
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: scares whoever is watching the media, the other the other team.

362
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: You get two big, ugly guys off first, and that

363
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: just just freaks them out right. So that's what I

364
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: would do. I would get all those guys the boss

365
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: An Armstead and d J. Jones in the world and

366
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: Alex mac and Trent Williams get him off the bus first,

367
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: because that's that's who you're gonna have to wrestle with

368
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: for three hours. Good luck with that. And then and

369
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: then running the football be you know behind those guys,

370
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: and and those guys hustling like crazy and stop and

371
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: run and making making making life rough on other quarterbacks.

372
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: That starts with their I just love their big guys. Um,

373
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: of course, and then you can talk about individuals, and

374
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: you know, with the other strength is the we've all

375
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: been impressed with you know, we we we we called

376
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan a great play caller. Well yeah, yeah, that's whom.

377
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: But to be able to call a good game, you

378
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: have to have a good game plan, and that offensive

379
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: staff has done a nice job of putting game plans

380
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: together and you know, finding places to move debo around

381
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: and run the same place from different formations and personnel

382
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: groups and and and those kinds of things. So that's

383
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: that's that's really been impressive to me watching this team.

384
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm I'm just trying to I'm

385
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: trying to struggle here a little bit with finding a weakness. Um.

386
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: You know, we'll have to wait and see. They got

387
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: to hold up in the secondary against a lot of

388
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: first round draft choices, you know, and some really highly

389
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: skilled players with Dallas and their and their secondary has

390
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: got to be able to hold up, um, And and

391
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: they'll have to do that. And uh, Jimmy Warden, the

392
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: guys and you know, Williams and Norman and Heart and

393
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's let's let's hold up against these guys

394
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: are gonna be in nickel defense quite a bit. You're

395
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna have to stop the run with a light box sometimes.

396
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna be up to the challenge.

397
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: Forty Niners hoping they're up to the challenge, mooch. I

398
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: appreciate you jumping on and chatting a little forty Niners,

399
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: uh and Cowboys of rivalry and upcoming match up with us.

400
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: And before I let you go, I think I have

401
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: to give a little bit of a backstory that earlier

402
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: this year, I think it was between Week one and

403
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: Week two, I believe, if I'm not mistaking. Um. I

404
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: was so honored to be a guest to Steve mary

405
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: u Cheese annual bocci ball tournament where I want to

406
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: give everyone a little bit of a heads up that

407
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: I had never played bocci ball in my entire life.

408
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: But I have to say I won my forty Niners

409
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: team there. It was let me backtrack. It was a

410
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 1: celebrity event, so we had a lot of forty Niners

411
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: lets in the building, Like Steve Bono was there, there

412
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: were who else is there was quite a few. Yeah,

413
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: and over the year, I mean, well that's when I

414
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: started the tournament when I was coaching the Niners, and

415
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I rather than doing a golf tournament. I don't like

416
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: golf tournaments anyway, So I started a Baciball Tournament foundation.

417
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: And then and then after I left and went to

418
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, then John Madden joined me, and then

419
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: it became the mad and Maruchie just because we wanted

420
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 1: to keep it going, which we did, and then and

421
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: then John John retired from it because he was unable

422
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: to play and really unable to be there much. So

423
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: we went back to our roots this year, but very

424
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: very successful event raised over half a million dollars and

425
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: we had gals like you playing bocci ball for the

426
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: first time, and you know, you were a rookie. And

427
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: we didn't even make it singor fight song or anything.

428
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: I mean, we just led to play. I do have

429
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: to let it be none though I was I don't

430
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: know the right ternament ology here, but I was the

431
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: last one to go on my team and we were

432
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: getting ready to lose, and I don't know what I did,

433
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: but I won our team. You don't know what you did.

434
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did, but I got us

435
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: to the next round. I did something good. Good. Everyone

436
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: told me, well, good for you. You know, I'm gonna

437
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: call a bono and tell him that you said you

448
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: So they voted unanimously to do it. I would I

449
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: would be all for that as well. I will take

450

451
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,679
