1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, I appreciate you joining us as always. You

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: guys are phenomenal. You're the best in the world. You're

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: watching the Richard Sherman Podcast. But if you could do

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: me a huge favor and hit that sub button, it

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: would be greatly appreciated. You would do a service for

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: your boys. SHERM And I'll tell you what. I got

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: your back, you got my back.

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 2: All love.

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And what a

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: game for the San Francisco forty nine ers and brock Purty.

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: Phenomenal game. Haven't pun it since November. Executed. From the

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: first drive to the last drive looked amazing. I mean

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: that the interception was something, you know, high pass, little sloppy,

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: but whatever. The defense ended on a high note with

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: a pick six from d Winters. This was a good game.

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: This is a good game from the offense. Now, I

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: know defensive side, there are some concerns and they're warranted,

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: their merited. This defense has to step it up and

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: and they're the coveroards kind of bear right now. You know,

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: there's not there's not a lot where you're like, hey,

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: we have such and such coming back, we have this

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: guy coming back. This is what it's gonna be. So

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna have to play better. They're gonna

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: have to step their game up. They're gonna have to

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: tighten things up. We're gonna have to run coverages that

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: aren't isolating the safeties, because anytime you run covered two

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: in the red zone, they're gonna isolate those safeties and

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their way. And that's what the coach did.

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: That's what Philip Rivers saw on tape, and that's whatever happens,

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: whatever works down this stretch for offenses is what you're

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna see in the playoffs. And Robert sala knows that,

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan knows that, and I mean, this defense is

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: gonna know that. That's the hard part, and that's the

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: concerning part for the San Francisco forty nine ers team

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: is there's not a lot of veterans on this defense

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: right now. And when you're in the playoffs and you

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: don't have experience, you usually learn some hard lessons and

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: those lessons help you for the future, but they don't

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: help you for the now. So let's hope Robert Salah

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan get this defense tightened up and get

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: them prepared, because I would imagine Sala's coaching his butt

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: off and he's putting them in as best of a

43
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: position as he can, as good of a position as

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: he can, but he can't go out there and make

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: the plays for him. He can't cover guys for him,

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: and it's hard. In that game, you saw it, he

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: tried to switch it up. He tried to run. Man,

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: they were getting beat on crossers. Philip Rivers was identifying it.

49
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: He tried to run zone. He was picking it apart.

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: He was finding finding the weaknesses of his zone and

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: exploiting it. Tried to bring pressure. He was figuring that out.

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: So I know fans are like, man, you know what,

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: why is he not bringing more pressure?

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: Is it?

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Because because the more pressure brings, the more questions you're

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: gonna have, The more he tries to attack a veteran

57
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: quarterback like that, the more big holes in the defense

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: there is going to be huge playing the game from

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Alfred Collins a huge force fumble and sacked. That was

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: a great rush by him and sling sling shot at

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: himself forward, huge played by him, Huge play by de Winters.

62
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: We talked about those are things you can build on you.

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: You hope those two guys are continuing to gain confidence.

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Uh CJ. West had a sack in the game. But

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: this is a game that that I know defensively, Robert

66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: tala is going to take a hard look at and

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be critical of these guys. He's not gonna

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: take it easy and say, hey, guys, good job we won.

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna say, hey, we got to play better than that. Sure,

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: we won this game, and we made a play at

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: the end and we scored seven points, but we can

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: be better than that, and we'll have to be better

73
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: than that if we want to win a championship. And

74
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: at this point, the way the offense is rolling, you

75
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: gotta believe that anything is possible. With cal Shanahan. I

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: said it before, I'll say it again. With Cal Shanahan

77
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: at the Helm, anything as possible. He should be at

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: the front runner of coaching for Coach of the Year,

79
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of guys who should be front

80
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: runner for coach of the year and a lot of

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: teams dealing with a lot of injuries. The LA Chargers,

82
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars got a case. Obviously, New England Patriots and

83
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: Vrabel the Chicago Bears and Ben Johnson, both first year

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: coaches taking their teams to the playoffs for the first

85
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: time in a long time. So yeah, you know, I'm

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: sure the faithful believe one thing and believe it with

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: all the conviction in the world.

88
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: And you're justified.

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: But for some reason, I think they I don't think

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: they're going to give it to Kyle because they never

91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: give it to Kyle even when in nineteen when we

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to be as good as we were. You

93
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: go from a four win team to a one seed

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: and they didn't give him Coach of the Year then.

95
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: So I don't see it happening now. But a really

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: great game for Brian Perdy, like I said, twenty five

97
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: to thirty four, two ninety five, five touchdowns in the

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: one interception. He was only sacked once in the game. Uh,

99
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: he was moving pretty well. This is about as good

100
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: as I've seen him look all season long. He was confident,

101
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: he moved well in the pocket. Christian McCaffrey went over

102
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: a thousand yards rushing for the season, twenty one of

103
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: twenty one for one to seventeen in this game and

104
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: two catches for I mean six catches for twenty nine

105
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns in this game. Again, he's doing

106
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: what he does. He's about one hundred and fifty one

107
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: yards away from having one hundred and fifty one receiving

108
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: yards away from having a thousand yards rushing in a

109
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: thousand yards receiving. He'd be the first person to do

110
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: it twice in his career, which is incredible. Another really

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: solid game for Juwan Jennings. Five receptions, seventy one yards

112
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: in the TV important third down catches, huge third down

113
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: catches throughout this game. I loved when he scored and

114
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: he said, you know, he looked like he was gonna

115
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: give it to the fan, and it was obviously a

116
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: Colts fan, and he snatched it back. I love him

117
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: bracing the villain roll, like, hey, guys, gonna be He's

118
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the antagonist. He's gonna be the guy that

119
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: it gets things riled up, gets things going, It gets

120
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the juices going, and you get your team going. Do

121
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: your thing, Juwan, do your thingk I'm not mad at that.

122
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: He did a great job the defense. Like I said,

123
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: two sacks, the fumble, the sack force fumble from Alfred Collins,

124
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: the force fumble by JayR. Brown on on the kickoff

125
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: the special teams. That's been another great story outside of

126
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Eddie Panero, Eddie Denaro, whatever you want to call him. Oh,

127
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: speaking of that, the sixty four yard you talk about

128
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: putting everything into it. He put his whole leg into

129
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: it and literally hit the crossbar like if it was

130
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: sixty three yards. I think it's good, but sixty four

131
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: a sixty four but we know he could potentially get

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: sixty three. But what a season for Eddie Pernaio and

133
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: want to pick up for him, and what a weapon

134
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: he's been this season. And I don't think he's getting

135
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: enough credit going out with an injury, coming back, executing

136
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: down the stretch, executing. I mean that was the first

137
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: miss of the season for him. And of course sixty

138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: four yarder. I'm I applaud him for trying. I applaud

139
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: him for taking an attempt.

140
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: This was a great game. This was a great game.

141
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Offensively, special teams continues to do their part. Defensively, there

142
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: were some good things. The rush defense against Jonathan Taylor

143
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: was fantastic. He had sixteen carries only forty six yards.

144
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: You could see there was a concerted effort there to

145
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: make those stops. But everything's right in front of the

146
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco for Niners. Everything's in their control. They have

147
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: a game week against the Chicago Bears, and if they

148
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: can win that one, then it all comes down to

149
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks in Levi Stadium. Like I said at

150
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, before all this happened, it's

151
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: gonna be between It's gonna come down to the San

152
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers and the Seattle Seahawks. Last game

153
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: of the season for the division, and they're gonna be tied.

154
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: I tell you what I need pull that clip. But

155
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: I think it's between the Seattle Seahawks and the San

156
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. That's cool. I feel cool. I

157
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: feel cool calling that one. But you gotta get past

158
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. A really good team, well coached team. Caleb

159
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Williams seems to be getting more and more confidence having

160
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: a great season. Their defense is very formidable, a lot

161
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: of talent, a lot of guys in the secondary. No

162
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: Sean Wright came out of nowhere leading the league and

163
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: forced force turnovers. They got Jaln Johnson back there. They

164
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: got guys that can play, so it's gonna be It's

165
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: not just gonna be an easy game by any stretch

166
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: of the imagination. I think that's gonna be a dog fight,

167
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: but I think Kyle Shanahan is prepared for it. This offense,

168
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: brock Perty hopefully George Kittle, he was banged up a

169
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: little bit at the end of this game, but hopefully

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: he's able to heal up this week. Jake Tongs, though,

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: Jake Tong just I wish they would have I wish

172
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: they would have challenged that play because it looked like

173
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Jake Tong just let his feet die, got him in bounds,

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: caught the ball. It may have hit the ground, but

175
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: he controlled it. I think they might have given him

176
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: that to him if they would have challenged that. But

177
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: he made another awesome catch later on in a game

178
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: similar on the sideline. But I think at the moment,

179
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: if his numbers called, he's prepared for the moment and

180
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: that will be outstanding. The Seahawks have the Carolina Panthers

181
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: and obviously the San Francisco forty nine ers at the

182
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: end of the season. At Carolina Panthers game. I mean,

183
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't really know who they are, because if they

184
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: played like they did against the Saints, it should be

185
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: an easy game for the Seattle Seahawks if they play

186
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: like they If the Panthers played like they did against

187
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks, the Seattle Seahawks should win. But if they

188
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: played like they did against the Rams when they were

189
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: at home and they beat the Rams, then this could

190
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: be a dogfight. So I wouldn't expect the Seattle Seahawks

191
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: to sleep on this team.

192
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: This team is capable, and.

193
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: Their inconsistent is all get out, from the quarterback to

194
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: the defense to everybody. But when they're rolling, they're rolling.

195
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: I think the Rams have two winnable games against the

196
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: Falcons and the Cardinals, who.

197
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: Have tried to compete, but.

198
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: Looks like they're gonna be drafting very high in the

199
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: draft this year, figuring out what they're gonna have to

200
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: do with Kyler Murray. But barring something insane, the one

201
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: seed should come down to the San Francisco forty nine

202
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: ers or in the Seattle Seahawks. One of these teams

203
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: will have it. And that is remarked with everything that's

204
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: going on this season, with everything that's gone going on

205
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: with some of these contracts, I mean you look on

206
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: the IR and and and there's probably close to one

207
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars on the IR if I if I'm

208
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: not mistaken, I mean just.

209
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: Between three guys.

210
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: If you put Brandon Ayuk for thirty million, you put

211
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: put Fred for twenty and some change, you put Uh

212
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: Brock was on there for a little while. But who

213
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: else Nicholas John Bosa for thirty three that's eighty something,

214
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: and and and there's there's Uh, there's other guys who

215
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: are banged up and injured and not able to play

216
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty nine ers team, and and

217
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: still they still have a chance at the number one seed.

218
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: Faithful as fans, you got to appreciate this kind of

219
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: effort from from everybody in the building. You could easily

220
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: in this situation give up, kind of say it is

221
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: just one of those years. And that's what seemed like

222
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: seemed to be the narrative coming into this season. Hey,

223
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be one of those down years. You know,

224
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco they struggled last year. They got all this

225
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: dead money, they got these guys banged up, an easy schedule,

226
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: but but losing a lot of talent offensively really young defensively,

227
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: but it didn't happen. And again that's a testament to

228
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Robert Salah, Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch, everybody involved with this

229
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: team and keeping them on track, the training staff, the

230
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: equipment staff, the jay Bird, those guys, everybody that has

231
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: their hand in it to make these guys, to make

232
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: this run as efficiently and as good as it has

233
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: should be applauded because I don't think there's any coach

234
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: in any organization that sustains this kind of these kind

235
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: of losses, in this kind of turmoil with Brandon Ayuk

236
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: and your number one receiver just deciding he does not

237
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: want to play for your organization anymore, even though he's

238
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: getting paid his money, and you lose your your your

239
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: best player on defense, both of your best players on defense,

240
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: two of the best players in the National Football League

241
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: for the season, and you don't flinch, you don't blink,

242
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: and you lead your team to an eleven and four

243
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: record with two games to play. That's admirable stuff, and

244
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I respect that getting into these playoffs, I mean, as

245
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: anybody's game. This is as wide open of a season

246
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: as there's been in recent memory. I think I feel

247
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: good at the San Francisco forty nine ers. If the

248
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: playoffs started and they were the fifth seed and they

249
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: had to go to Carolina to play, I feel pretty good.

250
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: If they had to go to temp Bet to play,

251
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. If they were somehow the sixth

252
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: seed and they had to go to Philadelphia, I would

253
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: feel good.

254
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

255
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: If they were the one seed and they had to

256
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: buy I'd feel really good. So they're in a great spot,

257
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: and I think you gotta you gotta plault them and

258
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: appreciate this moment. It's wide open if they somehow end

259
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: up in the dance. San Francisco forty nine Ers fans

260
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: get ready to build a statue of Kyle Shanahan. And

261
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: I know you're like, well, but what about the Super Bowl?

262
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: We gotta win one. Outside of the great, the late

263
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: great Bill Walsh, there ain't many taking their teams to

264
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowls in the way in NFC championships and having

265
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: a success regardless of circumstances and the way Kyle Shanahan

266
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: is doing it right now. And you know we're a

267
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: long way away from that. A lot of things gotta happen,

268
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: but he's done it before he can do it again,

269
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: and if he does it this year, regardless of the outcome,

270
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: and if they somehow win it, oh my god, if

271
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: they somehow win it the first off, there'll be questions

272
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: about all the other tis. But let's not get ahead

273
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: of ourselves. It's gonna be a fun playoffs. Can the

274
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks get the number one seat there and control

275
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: of their own destiny?

276
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: Right now? They look really good.

277
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: They look fantastic against the Rams the other night, especially

278
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: down the stretch and overtime offensively, and they looked good defensively.

279
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: I thought they had a couple turnovers and they got

280
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: called back. But moving on, because this this is wide open.

281
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: The af SE's wide open, the one seeds wide open

282
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: on both sides. I think this is gonna be a

283
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: fun playoff run because you never know what's gonna happen.

284
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: But what I really don't understand is what DK Metcalf

285
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: was doing, and neither did the NFL because they suspended

286
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: them for two games because of that fan reaction, And

287
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: somebody asks to do the fans.

288
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: Have too much power?

289
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: Or is this you know the players need to to

290
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: just control their temple. Yes, it's that the fans can

291
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: sure should the fans, you know, be be better about

292
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: what they say and all that. Sure, you know, don't

293
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: get belligerent, don't get ignorant, don't but they do that,

294
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: you know that that happens, and they're not gonna get

295
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: kicked out most times, you know, unless they do something

296
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: and they throw something or hit you sticks and stones,

297
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: they broke break my bones.

298
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: But words, et cetera, et cetera, you can't do it.

299
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: You can't do it.

300
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: You can't go into the stands and put your hands

301
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: on a fan regardless of what they say. Because if

302
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: that's the case, every away stadium is gonna feel like

303
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: they can get to you. If they say that, they

304
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna talk about your mom, they're gonna talk about

305
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: your family, They're gonna whatever it takes.

306
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: They just want to see their team win.

307
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: And as a as a player, you kind of understand

308
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: that and you use your your play on the field

309
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: to frustrate them.

310
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: That's what I would love. I love doing that.

311
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: I love talk all the crap you want, because when

312
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: I go get that pick, I'm coming back, and when

313
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: I go in this game, I'm coming back, and I'm

314
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: telling you to go home. Beat the traffic. I'm gonna

315
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: frustrate you. I'm coming here to ruin your day. You

316
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: can't give him that kind of power, DK. And that's

317
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: that's the sad part about this. They said he lost,

318
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, between these two game checks, he's gonna lose

319
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: over five hundred thousand dollars with the voids of his

320
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: guarantees going forward, which means that the Pittsburgh Steelers can

321
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: cut him at any time and not not incur the

322
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: guaranteed money. I'm sure there's some dead money and all

323
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: that in this contract that'll that'll you know, that'll help

324
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: him stay protected. But just unnecessary. You know, it's unnecessary,

325
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: especially in a game your team ends up winning. It'd

326
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: be different in a little more understandable if this is

327
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. You're super frustrated. You know,

328
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: you played your butt off and it came down to it,

329
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: and you're super emotional, But this is the middle of

330
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: the game.

331
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: You can't have it. You just can't.

332
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate because you know, hey, this team has

333
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: been on a roll and they're rolling into the playoffs

334
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: in a good spot, and they happen to win this game,

335
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: and and and you know this is that there's negativity

336
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: associated with it, so you know, I just hope he

337
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: can be better in the future. Obviously, he'll learn from

338
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: this two game suspension and we'll see how the rest

339
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: pans out, and then what his team does in his absence.

340
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: He's a number one receiver on that team, uh, the

341
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: highest paid receiver in on that football team. So it's

342
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a tremendous loss for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but

343
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: we'll Aaron Rodgers and the boys overcome it. We shall see.

344
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: As always, I appreciate you joining us. You could be

345
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world, but you're here with us, and

346
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: I surely do appreciate it. Faithful congratulations on another win.

347
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,119
