Guys, you're gonna get lots of that great 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: um your podcast central right now because you just mentioned 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: too that you have and then you're joining us on 53 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: the You've got mail. Obviously we have banned questions, but 54 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: I think the number one question I'm gonna sum up 55 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 1: what's been coming from everybody, um, rather than just ask 56 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: this a million times, but what's going on with the 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: forty nine is generally speaking you I said this earlier. 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: You've been around the team for a number of years. 59 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: You have a good grasp on the players, in the 60 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: front office, the coaches. You have a good pulse of 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: this team. You're there for practice, you're there for media availability. Uh. 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: The forty Niners Let's be honest. They have the talent. 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: The talent is there, it's on this roster, but that 64 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: talent isn't necessarily translating to what we're seeing on the 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: field of currently sitting at three and five and that 66 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: demoralizing loss that they had in week nine against let's 67 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: say a j V Arizona Cardinals team. So just from 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: what you've been able to pick up and what you've 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: been able to grasp, because I feel like a lot 70 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: of people are still trying to grasp what's going on, 71 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: but in your own words and in your own observations, 72 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: what's happening this team. So something very interesting that I 73 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: noticed is said pretty much every week and after after 74 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: a loss, then the opposite seems to have been said 75 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: after a win, of which there have been very few. 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: But the it comes down to, we need to clean 77 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: up the details, we need to execute better. And you 78 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: have a game where the defense will play really well, 79 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: the offense will not. The offense will play well, the 80 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: defense will not. And it seems to me that there 81 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: is a lack of identity on this team, and that 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: seems to be the biggest problem from where I'm sitting 83 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: and to hear going into week nine. We just have 84 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: to figure out the details and clean them up like 85 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: it's week nine. Those details I would think should have 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: been figured out and cleaned up earlier. And yes, they're 87 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: dealing with injuries, but it is football and everybody's dealing 88 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: with injuries. I know. On in Kyle Shanahan's press conference 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: on Thursday, it took him twenty four seconds to go 90 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: through the injuries of who wasn't practicing, which it took 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: two ins to stories, So that to me was like, 92 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: that's that is a lot of injuries. That being said, again, 93 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: it's football, and if you look at the injury reports 94 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: for any team right now, there are a lot of 95 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: people dealing with a lot of things. So I don't 96 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: necessarily think it's just that you just have a lack 97 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: of execution and something else they talked a lot about 98 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: this week, which I found somewhat interesting, is this idea, 99 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: and I think it's obvious, but A players have to 100 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: play like A players and they're A players are not 101 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: all consistently playing like A players every week, and that 102 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: is a big thing. And Shanahan made a comment that 103 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: he thought the a good coach the sign of a 104 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: coach is someone who can get as a players to 105 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: play like a players every week and not getting someone 106 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: from like a sea to a b isn't necessarily the 107 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: mark of a good coach. But I do think that 108 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to. Consistency, details, execution, and 109 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: this is what they're lacking. And I point to a 110 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: lack of identity because I think if they knew who 111 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: they were, they'd be able to do all of those things. Yeah, 112 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: I believe someone spoke esterday. It might have been Jimmy 113 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: Garoppolo and the question was brought up about the identity 114 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: and lacking that identity, and he said, that's not something 115 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: that you just label yourself and go with it. It 116 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: has to develop naturally itself. And the forty nine is 117 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: through and it's unfortunate now through nine weeks have struggled 118 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: to label that, to find that, and to be able 119 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: to execute that um and it's kind of brought up 120 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: a lot of questions. I know, with an NFL season, 121 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: players come in, they come out. You know, things happen, 122 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: people retire, people move on to other teams, especially with 123 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: free agency, and you're looking at the cap that the 124 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: forty Niners were dealing with this past offseason. But how 125 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: much do you think that veteran leadership comes into play 126 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: with the forty nine struggles because you look at there's 127 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: no Joe Staley there. You no longer have Richard Sherman, 128 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: who's in Tampa Bay. Um. I'm trying to think of 129 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: some of those vets that are no longer there at 130 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: the Forest. Buckner is another name that's not there. Um. 131 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: How much do you think that maybe having some of 132 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: these guys has to do with what's happening and what's 133 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: translating on the field. I think that I think that's 134 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: a big part of it. You you also have a 135 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: lot of guys every week because because we'll ask about 136 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: leadership and a lot of people saying I'm more of 137 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: a person that leads by example, And I get that, 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: and I think there is certainly a place for that, 139 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: and that's incredibly important. You want guys that lead by example. 140 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: If a guy is Mr raw Rob can't execute on 141 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: the field, that you know, the tooth don't go hand 142 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: in hand. That being said, you also need those people 143 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: in a locker room on the field that can can 144 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: rally a team and that people respect and can look 145 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: up to and can and fire up a locker room. 146 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, a few weeks ago for the 147 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: Chicago game, you know, we were told John Lynch came 148 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: to talk to the team the night before the game, 149 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: And to me, I think that's incredible, And I think 150 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: John Lynch just such a fantastic GM and and he 151 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: has such the guys have such respect for him, and 152 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: and of course he rallied the team. But it was 153 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: an interesting thought to me that there isn't someone on 154 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: the fifty three to do that. They needed to bring 155 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: the gam in um, and I think there's a time 156 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: and place for that too, and I get it. And 157 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: they were in a position in that week where they 158 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: needed to, as they said multiple times, do whatever it 159 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: takes to win. But they're now in that position every week. 160 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: So I just think that says a lot kind of 161 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: about where they are and that leadership they're missing. I mean, 162 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: even in twenty nineteen, they also had Emmanuel Sanders for 163 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: half of that season, and I think he brought so 164 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: much to the team, not just to the wide receiver group, 165 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: he brought so much to the team as a whole, 166 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: and they are lacking all the people that we've talked 167 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: about were on that twenty nineteen team, and I don't 168 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: think it's a coincidence that the two seasons after that 169 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: have really gone downhill. Yeah. Uh. One thing that's so 170 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: different this year compared to we're not necessarily we're around 171 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the team, but not how we were in the past. 172 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: Obviously due to COVID restrictions, were not necessarily there in 173 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: the locker room. So it's kind of hard to pay 174 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: up exactly. Um. I don't want to say the mood 175 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: or the vibe, but it's it's a little sometimes challenging 176 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: to pick up. You know. Maybe you see some of 177 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: these guys taking on the load as a leader, like 178 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: we were able to see in twenty nine. Um, but 179 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: I look to guys like you know, Fred Warner and 180 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Wards of the world, and and the Eric 181 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Armstead's and those guys to really need to step up, 182 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: um and helpfully. It's it's a fairly young If you 183 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: look at this forty Niners defense, it's a fairly young unit. 184 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: I know I jumped straight to defense because I wanted 185 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: to talk about the offense actually, but that's kind of 186 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: overall when you look at this roster. So just one 187 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: thing that kind of stands out to me when we're 188 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: talking about now going into week ten and there's still 189 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: so many question marks, and you brought up trying to 190 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: figure out these details. Uh, it's one of the main 191 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: things that I think. UM has been a struggle for 192 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: the forty Niners. But I want to jump to the 193 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. UM as of late, let's 194 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: considering these last two weeks, it appears that this offense 195 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: has been playing better as a late UM, but they've 196 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: been dealing with, especially in this last came those struggles 197 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: of getting out of their own way. We saw that 198 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: with two fumbles after game changing games UM in that 199 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: contest against the Arizona Cardinals. But that aside those moments, 200 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: those blunders aside, which I know was a point of 201 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: emphasis going into this week, How have you what have 202 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: you seen out of this forty Niners offense over these 203 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: last two weeks? And and doesn't give you any hope, 204 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: any positivity looking forward? Yes, I mean I think it does. 205 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: I do think that they have played better. I think 206 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: we've seen you had seen Jimmy Garoppolo. Here's like a 207 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: fun fact from the prospector. Uh, to back to back, 208 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, three hundred yard games. No one has done 209 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: it three times since Jeff Garcia see in two thousand. 210 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: So I think that is a big positive. That means 211 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: they are driving. But I think you brought up the fumbles, 212 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: and I don't want to focus on the negative, but 213 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: they can't do things like that. I mean, that's you 214 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: can't have George Kittle and Brandon I you going back 215 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: to your A. Players can't be fumbling the football after 216 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: big games. Because yes, I think the offense is certainly 217 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: playing better, but if they end up turning the ball 218 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: over three times, it doesn't matter how well they played 219 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: in between all those turnovers, They're not gonna They're not 220 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: gonna win the game. And I go back to that 221 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: game against the Steelers where I think there were five 222 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: turnovers total and that game was totally an anomaly. Won 223 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: that game, but most of the time, you know that 224 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: isn't gonna work. And so, yes, have they been playing better, 225 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: but you can't. I don't feel like you can discount 226 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: those fumbles because that's part of it. And that's too 227 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: that the Cardinals ended up with ten points off of 228 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: those turnovers, and those were two turnovers were there was 229 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: a high Likelihod they were gonna end U with fourteen 230 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: points and the Cardinals with none, and that's where games 231 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: are one and lost. And so you know, I think 232 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: it kind of does go back to consistency and those 233 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: are the details, and those are where you have to execute, 234 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: and that is where I think they've really struggled. But yes, 235 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: they've certainly played better. Um it's gonna it's great to 236 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: have Kittle back and in all of the ways, uh 237 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel of course is just having a breakout season. 238 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: We've seen much more production the fumble aside from Brandon 239 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: i Yuk, Elijah Mitchell has of course really stood out 240 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: in the running back position. So these are all really 241 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: big positives. They had a big loss, so this week 242 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: they lose Mike mcglinchie for the season, so that will 243 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: create some issues on the line and perhaps to create 244 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: issues in past protection and in the run games. So 245 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: with that in mind, they can't be making the mistakes 246 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: when things go right, keep them going right. You can't 247 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: be fumbling the football, can't be dropping the football.

Yeah, 252 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: Kyle Shannony preaches it all the time. You cannot win 253 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: a game if you're continuously losing the turnover battle, and 254 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: offensively forty Niners are just handing the ball away. Meanwhile, 255 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: defensively they just cannot land those turnovers. There's been a 256 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: number of force fumbles, but obviously not bouncing in the 257 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: forty niners favor. But you brought up Mike McGlinchey, um 258 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: who is now out for the season with a torn quad, 259 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: will undergo surgery, so forty Niners will be without their 260 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: right tackle for the remainder of the season. In your eyes, 261 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: how worrisome is it being without McGlinchey for the remainder 262 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: of the season, And how do you see the forty 263 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: Niners combating his loss? Well, I think I think it's 264 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: it's a huge loss. It definitely is a huge loss. 265 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: And I know fans have a little bit of a 266 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: love hate relationship with McGlinchey and maybe hates a strong word, 267 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: but that's just the phrase. I didn't make it up. 268 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: But they have that kind of relationship with McGlinchey. But 269 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: he really has been having a pretty solid season and 270 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: he's been pretty important upon that line. And you know, 271 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: I know after last season he did a lot of 272 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: work to get back to a level that he was 273 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: happy with and I think he was very much on 274 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: his way there. So I do think it's a big loss. Um, 275 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: I think it would end up being Jleen Moore. But 276 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, Shanahan of course didn't want to say, which 277 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: I get, that's who I think it would end up being. Um. 278 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: That being said, I'm not a coach, which is you know, 279 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: travesty becuse. I'm sure i'd be great um, But so 280 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: I can't say for sure, but from what I guess, 281 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: from what I've seen, I think it would end up 282 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: being Jaylen Moore. But we also may have a little 283 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: bit of right tackle by committee. There may be you know, situationally, 284 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: they may be putting some people in and taking some 285 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: people out, which is not ideal in an offensive line. 286 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: You want to have a chemistry there. But if I 287 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: had to pay today who will be replacing him? I 288 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: would go Jaylen Moore. Yeah, Kyle Shanahan holding his card. 289 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: It's pretty close to his chest with the with the 290 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: right tackle and right guard position. Um Tom Compton's also, 291 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: and that makes you have damn Daniel Brunskill, who I 292 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: would like to call a Swiss army knife along the 293 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: old line because I feel like he's played just about 294 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: every single position, especially I believe it was that twenty 295 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: nineteen season he did. Um. So forty Niners have some uh, 296 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: some things to figure out this week, especially going against 297 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: this Rams defensive line. We already know Aaron Donald and 298 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: what kind of force he is on the interior, but 299 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: now you're adding Von Miller. It's mix, so it's gonna 300 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: be a tough challenge and how the forty Niners can 301 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: combat that which it always brings me back to. I 302 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: know this is this isn't a regular occurrence, but I 303 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: always think about the game in October. I was it 304 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: was their final meeting against the Rams, and how Daniel 305 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: Brunskill held his own against Aaron Donald. Jimmy Garoppolo was 306 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: relatively untouched that entire contest. So forty Niners will have 307 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: to try to pull out all the stops to literally 308 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: stop Aaron Donald and co. On Monday night. But I 309 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: want to stay on offense for just a second, because 310 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: I feel like we have to talk about the biggest 311 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: topic of all and every single week there are a 312 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: million questions surrounding forty Niners number three overall. Pick tray Lance. 313 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Obviously for the tray Lance, his name continuously pops up 314 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: in our questions, but obviously forty Niners are not giving 315 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: him the offense just for developmental reasons. Kyle Shanahan said 316 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: that would be essentially irresponsible of him just to let 317 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: Tray get reps just to do it the forty Niners believe, 318 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan believes that the forty Niners are still 319 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: in this mix, which, believe it or not, I know 320 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: it is not glamorous sitting at three and five, but 321 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: are a game back out of the wild card spot. 322 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: I say all of this to talk about Trey. When 323 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: forty Niners ends, will finally see Tray. We haven't seen 324 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: him since Week five when he got that start with 325 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo out. But do you think we see more 326 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: of the rookie as time goes on? This It's so 327 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: interesting because there have been a couple of games where 328 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: I've been like, I think we'll for sure see him 329 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: situationally um and was very surprised that we did not. So, 330 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, I think Monday Night is a possibility because 331 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,239 Speaker 1: they are going to need to put up pull out 332 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: all the stops. They are going against a very talented 333 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: RAMS team, a RAMS team who played terribly last week 334 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: and lost, so it certainly can happen. But generally this 335 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: is a RAMS team that is pretty efficient and pretty 336 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: solid and has a tremendous amount of talent. So the 337 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: forty niners are going to have to play an almost perfect, 338 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: if not perfect game and perhaps add in some razzle dazzle, 339 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: and you love love a little razzle dazzle, and so 340 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, means we could very well 341 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: see tray Lance. I think in terms of how much 342 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: we're going to see him is going to depend to 343 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: depend on the next several weeks. I mean, I have 344 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: to believe as they get later into the season, if 345 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: they really are out of the playoff race, then I 346 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: think you do have to start starting him, because if 347 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: this is your quarterback of the future, then I think 348 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: it becomes a point of like, all right, we got 349 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: to get him in there and get them reps and 350 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: kind of see see what what we have going on, 351 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: So you know, I think it's going to be very 352 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: dependent on how the next several weeks. Ago they had 353 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: the game against the Rams, and then it's the Jaguars 354 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: and the Vikings. So I think we'll know a lot 355 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: more about this team and its potential in the coming months. 356 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: In the next three weeks, but I could very well 357 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: see us getting some trade lance on Monday Night for 358 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: the reasons that I mentioned. Just Lance on Prime Time, 359 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of forty Niners fans will get 360 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: they're they're pretty excited to see him take the field. 361 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: But I also do not want to discount the performance 362 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: of Jimmy Garoppolo over lease last couple of weeks. UM. 363 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: I was actually chatting with UM Yahoo Sports their fantasy 364 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 1: football expert Dalton del Don this week, and we were 365 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: talking about how Jimmy has been fantasy wise one of 366 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: the most productive quarterbacks, the most productive quarterback over the 367 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: last two weeks, and even Pro Football Focus had him 368 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: ranked as one of the best performing over the last 369 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So Jimmy Garoppolo is certainly hitting his stride. 370 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: He just needs the rest of the team to catch up. UM. 371 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: But let's jump really briefly to the other side of 372 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 1: the ball, and then we'll kind of preview what we're 373 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: expecting Monday night. But defensively, a lot of questions at 374 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: the cornerback position. Uh, forty Niners Mark Ronan and I 375 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: wanted to ask why did Diamodor Lenore forty Niners rookie 376 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: corner lose the starting job, which I will caveat this 377 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: by saying he did have a baby as of late, 378 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: so we've missed a couple of games. I know he 379 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: was a health scratch um a couple of weeks back. 380 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: But what do you make, Tracy of this forty Niners 381 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: cornerback situation? What do you want to see out of 382 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: this unit? Especially I'm gonna kind of throw it out there. 383 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: You have this high, this very potent U rams offense 384 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: with they're gonna be You have Robert Woods, you have 385 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and now the addition of O B J, 386 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: which we'll get into in just a bit. But they're 387 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,239 Speaker 1: gonna need to defend these guys on Monday Night. What 388 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: do you make of this? I wish, first of all, 389 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: you could see my facial expressions as you went through 390 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: each bike receiver. There was like, I was like, oh, um, 391 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, I guess going back to the original question, 392 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: it seems the coaching staff does not believe that diamad 393 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Lenore is a better option than Josh Norman and Drake Kirkpatrick. 394 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: You did bring up, of course, that he had had 395 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: a baby and so he missed a couple of games. 396 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: So would be kind of curious to see, you know, 397 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: if anything changes on Monday night. Um, you know, I 398 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: think corner is a place where the forty Niners really 399 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: may have missed in this offseason. Um. Yes, they drafted 400 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: two corners, but apparently two corners who they don't feel 401 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: are ready to start. They had, of course Jason Varette 402 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 1: coming off a fantastic season, and the veteran Emmanuel Moseley, 403 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: but I think secially with Barette's injury history, they probably 404 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: it would have behooved them to put a bit of 405 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: an investment in a veteran corner that really could step 406 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: in and start and play at a high level. And 407 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: though I would say Josh Norman overall has made contributions 408 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: to the team, he also has committed a tremendous amount 409 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: of penalties, including the taunting penalty we saw last week 410 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: that was, you know, pretty an excuse of bowle uh. 411 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: And so it feels like they're a little bit stuck 412 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: between a rock and a hard place because they don't 413 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: really have a great option for that side of the 414 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: field at corner. So you know, it feels to me 415 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: like would you want to put the rookies in there? 416 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: But it goes a little bit back to that Trail 417 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: Lance discussion. You know, what, do you get to a 418 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: point in the season where it's like, all right, let's 419 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: see what we got and give these guys a chance, 420 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: because you know what you have in Norman, you know 421 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: what you have in Kirkpatrick. Let's see what we got 422 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: and give these guys a chance. But you know, I 423 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: mean I missed. I'm assuming that the coaching staff saw 424 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: something and see something that makes them believe that Diama 425 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: dor Lenora and also Ambrey Thomas should not be out 426 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: there starting or really even playing. I think for those 427 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: of us watching, we saw diamadr Lenora in the beginning 428 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: of the season and it did look like there was 429 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: some potential there. But you know, obviously the coaching staff 430 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: does feel differently. Yeah, I think going into Monday night 431 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: for nighters will have to rely heavily on that pass 432 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: rush to take some of that pressure off of their secondary. 433 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: And it's not just the cornerback position that there's a 434 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: number of question marks, but you gotta think you're also 435 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: without Chakua's guitard, You're without Jimmy Wark. Forty Niners are 436 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: hoping they can get back this week. Um, you've got 437 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: a rookie. You gotta tell Leno who founga back there 438 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 1: just playing it? Who who's playing well, who's definitely playing well. Um, 439 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: don't want to discredit him with that. And Tavon Wilson, 440 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: I believe he's dealing with injuries of the forty Niners 441 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: a little shorthanded there as well. But it's worth noting, 442 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: which when I'm doing a little bit of preview work 443 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: for this game, forty Niners have the fourth best passing 444 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: deepense heading into Week ten. So I think a lot 445 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: of that credit I don't want to, you know, take 446 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: anything away from the secondary, but also a lot of 447 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: credit to the forty Niners. Um pass rush, who will 448 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: definitely have have a challenge, let's say, on Monday night. 449 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: But all right, I brought up his name. It's the 450 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: biggest news in the sport It's news cycle this week. 451 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Forty Niners fans do not want well, 452 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: did not want to see these headlines, but yes, he 453 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: came to the NFC West, to the Los Angeles rams. 454 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: Um Jimmy Ward had the question, I think we all 455 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: have the question of how are they getting all of 456 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: these players? What is happening here? Um, the people were 457 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: upset that the forty Niners weren't in play for Odell Beckaman. 458 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a good opportunity to kind of clarify 459 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: what was going on. So as he cleared through waivers 460 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: forty Niners, they said they cannot put a waiver claim 461 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: in for him because he does come along with a 462 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: seven million dollar cap hit that's owed for the rest 463 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: of the season. Forty Niners obviously don't have that amount 464 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: of space. So he cleared through waivers, not any other 465 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: teams claimed them. So now as a free agent, he 466 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: has the opportunity to go wherever he wants. Now, being 467 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: realist here, you you have your pick at thirty two 468 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: or thirty one, because you're probably not gonna go back 469 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: by thirty one other clubs and sitting at where you 470 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: are in in the year. You know your talent, you 471 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: know where you want to go, you know what your 472 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: ultimate goal is, which is a Super Bowl. You are 473 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: going to take the best option that's going to get 474 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: you there. So obviously the Rams look like a great 475 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: landing spot for him. Obviously what we heard through reports 476 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: that also Green Bay was another option for him, But 477 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: it did not have to do with the money, uh 478 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: me and I I don't wanna misquote, but I believe 479 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: his deal would have worked for the forty Niners or 480 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: just about any team, But it ultimately came down to 481 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: landing at a place a contender, essentially forty Niners where 482 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: they're sitting right now three and five, probably not the 483 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: most glamorous location. It had a lot to do with 484 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: the opportunity. So what do you make after I say 485 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: all of this, what do you make of O'Dell's decision 486 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: to go to the Rams? How do you see this 487 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: playing out? And then my very last question, what that 488 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: one is? Do you see him playing on Monday night? 489 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: So one, okay, I'll start with your last question. First, 490 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that we're going to see that much 491 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: of him because you've got to assume he needs like 492 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: more than three days to learn that Rams offense. There's 493 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: a reason it's working so well, and it's probably not 494 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: super dupre easy that you just pick it up. He's 495 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: a professional, he's been playing wide receiver for a while. 496 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: So I don't know how much we'll see him on 497 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: Monday night. I'm sure he would like to play Monday night, 498 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: but you know, I don't think it's I don't know 499 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: that he's going to be like a huge factor. Um. 500 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: You know, he and Josh Norman do have a history 501 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: of not being the best of friends, so that could 502 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: be interesting. But I don't really know how much of 503 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: him we are going to see on Monday night. I 504 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: think going it was your first question about him not 505 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: coming to San Francisco. Um, yeah, what's your just your 506 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: thoughts overall on him going to the Rams. I mean, 507 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I get it. I think unfortunately, 508 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: right now, the forty niners are not the most attractive location. 509 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: And it was different a few years ago. You know, 510 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: the the regime was new, they they were building talent. 511 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: I think even that season when and when Garoppolo got hurt, 512 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: people could see towards the future. You could look to 513 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: En and say, Okay, this is a team that's really 514 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: on an upward trajectory, and right now this is not 515 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: that team. And I think you look kind of going 516 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: back to what we said earlier about identity and philosophy, 517 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: when you're I would imagine as a free agent, is 518 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: someone his position looking at this team. He doesn't know 519 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: what the trajectory is, not just for this season, but beyond. 520 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: So I think this is not the attractive landing spot 521 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: that it was a couple of seasons back. I think 522 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: the Rams are I totally get it. I think, you know, 523 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: from from like a Odell Beckham Jr. Brand perspective, being 524 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: in l A Is probably not a bad thing. You 525 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: have an incredibly talented football team and they do find 526 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: a way. They do find a way to do it. 527 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they are within the cap um. There's 528 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: no way they could avoid that. But they have found 529 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: a way to get the talent they need. And you know, 530 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of that like whin 531 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: now philosophy, which I don't you know, which I don't 532 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: necessarily disagree with, But they find a way to get 533 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: what they need. They look at where they're lacking and 534 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: they make the necessary adjustments. And a couple of years 535 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: ago when they got Jalen Ramsey, I made a joke like, 536 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: oh can he play O line? But as I look 537 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: at it now, they were you know, looking at what 538 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: they were going to need and where are they going 539 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: to need the top positions and what's what's really important 540 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: And now they're real it's great that they have jale Ramsey, 541 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, like and and they figured the rest of 542 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: it out and they just have a way of doing 543 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: that um that maybe other teams haven't quite figured out yet. 544 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: And I think it makes him an incredibly attractive landing spot. 545 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: On top of that, he's got Matthew Stafford who's playing 546 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: at a very high level last week. Aside, it's gonna 547 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: be a lot of single coverage for him because of 548 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: how much talent they have at the wide receiver position. 549 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to get the ball in. One 550 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: of the big gripes in cleave In was that he 551 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: was not getting the football. Uh. In fact, I think 552 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: that was the big ripe in people that he was 553 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: not you know, getting the football. And that's not going 554 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: to be a problem in Los Angeles and he has 555 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: a very very good chance of going to and winning 556 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl.

I just we got a 563 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: bold one from Tracy. Okay, so you talk about a 564 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: very talented Rams team, um, which I believe this season 565 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: he began with getting Matt Stafford in that trade with 566 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. He's in his new city, He's found 567 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: success in this offense. UM. I know a out of 568 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: Detroit people are a little bitter about it, but I 569 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: feel like he's had he has the pieces, he has 570 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: the coaching around him that has led him play to 571 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: his potential. I know you brought up this last game, UM, 572 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: not his best outing against the dairy Derrick Henry list 573 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans team. But looking at what the Rams are 574 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: coming off of, I know when you come off a loss, 575 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people say you have an angry uh 576 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: Rams team coming in, but you also have a pretty 577 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: angry forty Niners team coming in that has a lot 578 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: on the line as we're sitting at this point in 579 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: the season. But looking at what we saw on Sunday 580 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: night against the Titans, Uh, do you think that the 581 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: forty Niners have the ability to go toe to toe 582 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: with this RAMS team? And I'm also going to throw 583 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: this in there. I look at past matchups and the 584 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: forty Niners in the past have matched up very well 585 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: to the Rams two back to back seasons of sweeps. 586 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: This is a completely different RAMS team, though, what do 587 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: you make of it? It's a different RAMS team and 588 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: it's a different for its team, though I guess last 589 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: year's forty Niners team you could say it was not 590 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: too dissimilar. Um, so it's a little I do think 591 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: this is one of those matchups kind of like the 592 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: Seahawks were, like, there's weird stuff can happen. So do 593 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: they match up toe to toe? No? I don't believe 594 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: they do. Do I think the forty Niners could play 595 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: a in theory, play a really really good, solid football 596 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: game and beat the Rams if they were to play 597 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: a near perfect or perfect game. Yes, have the forty 598 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: Niners shown me anything to make me believe that will happen. No, 599 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: so that so those are all I'm sure everybody loves 600 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: me right now, like I hate this girl, she's the 601 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: worst um. But it doesn't make it out of the 602 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: rama possibility. I mean, as we you know, any given Sunday, 603 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: any given Monday, it's cliche, but we're seeing week after 604 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: we gets true. I mean, the Bills lost to the 605 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars last week nine to six, so it there is 606 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: truth in that. And the forty Niners are a much 607 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: better team than the way they've been playing. The big 608 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: question is can they play like the team they are? 609 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: Can they not turn the ball over? Can they create turnovers? 610 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: Can they not commit these penalties that just kill them? 611 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the answer, because you are going up 612 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: against a Rams team that really doesn't have to play 613 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: a perfect game. They have to play a good game 614 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: to beat the forty Niners. They don't have to play 615 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: a perfect game. But I think the forty Niners have 616 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: to play a near perfect or perfect game. And I 617 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: think I also don't think the Rams. You know, in 618 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: some ways, it's really unfortunate they're coming off that loss 619 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 1: because I think if they had won that game handily, 620 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: they could come into this game maybe underestimating the forty 621 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: Niners and that would work in San Francisco's favor. But 622 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's going to happen um, and 623 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: I think Sean McVeigh knows Kyle Shanahan too well to 624 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: let that happen. So this is gonna be tough, and 625 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: it's you know, and I I don't say that is 626 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: just because like looking at the records, but this is 627 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a really tough game. And you brought up 628 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: earlier the wide receivers that the forty secondary is going 629 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: to have to go against, and it's gonna be rough. 630 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: It's good, you know. And for in our secondary right now, 631 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: seems it's either you know, d P I or stay 632 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: six ft away and they're gonna have to have another 633 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: strategy against this group of receivers. Yeah, forty, And I 634 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: love how you put You've summarized this entire matchup. Forty 635 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: Niners will have to play a near perfect, if not 636 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: perfect game if they really want to come out on 637 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: top of this matchup, especially looking at the talent and 638 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: looking at the cohesiveness that the Rams have been playing 639 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: with as of late. All Right, before I let you go, 640 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: I have one very last one, and that's obviously we 641 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: were on to stay on the topic of this Monday 642 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: night prime time matchup. But is there one area looking 643 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: at this forty Niners team that gives you confidence heading 644 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: into this Monday night matchup? What area would it be? 645 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: Is it a position group, is it a stat is 646 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: it a performance? What gives you a glimpse or a 647 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: little glimmer of confidence heading into this I'm gonna say 648 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: it's two players who one on each side of the ball, 649 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: who's been incredibly consistent this season, Uh, Trent Williams and 650 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. And among those two players, I think Nick 651 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: Bosa is very much has the ability to be an 652 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: X factor and has shown that that he can be, 653 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: and he is a game changer. So he's played at 654 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: such a consistent high level that should that continue, it 655 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: gives me confidence. UM, And I say Trent Williams because 656 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: of what we talked about earlier on the line and 657 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: how Mike mcglinche is out and what that can do 658 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: to the line. I think having that anchor there, um 659 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: and that leader there is going to be important for 660 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: the offense. But really, I think Nick Bosa um could 661 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: very well be the game changer. I like that it's 662 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: gone Monday. I like that Nick Bosa definitely a game changer. 663 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: And he's angry. Nick Bosa. That's a guy that I know, 664 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: looking at his history from dating back from college, this 665 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: as a guy that's not used to losing. He does 666 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: not like to lose. So I can tell he will 667 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: be walking into this game with a chip on his shoulder. 668 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna highlight the offense as a whole. Okay, 669 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: they they at times, they've looked good, they've looked together, 670 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: and then well, you know, the drive will be halted 671 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: because of their third their struggles on converting on third downs. 672 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look to this offense because I feel like 673 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:40,439 Speaker 1: we've seen those We've seen those moments of cohesiveness. We've 674 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: seen those moments of these big plays, especially getting George 675 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: Kittle back um, having Brandon Au playing at a much 676 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: higher level than we've seen. And then we've talked about 677 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel in the year that he's having I think 678 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: having your weapons, they're having them healthy. And now Jimmy 679 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: Garoppolo finding his stride. I think this offense has a 680 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: chance to put up some points. Obviously, going against this defense, 681 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be a struggle. But I feel like 682 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: if this team comes ready to play UM, that this 683 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: could make for a very fun matchup for the forty Niners. 684 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: But again, a lot goes back to everything that you've 685 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: been talking about, and this is this team coming out 686 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: and playing together, UM. And this is on all sides 687 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: of the ball, not just one carrying the other, because 688 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: we've seen that it's been so offsided on a number 689 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: of these games. So we say all of this to 690 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: say that Monday Night is going to be an interesting 691 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: matchup for the forty Niners. It will be very telling, 692 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: I say, for the forty Niners and the season they're having. 693 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: This could be one of those that it's it can 694 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: shock some people, or it could also tell what's to 695 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: come for the rest of the forty Niners season. To say, 696 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: um in so many words, but nonetheless, Tracy Sandler, I 697 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: appreciate you stopping by the podcast.
