49ers Rout Rams 27-7 in Australia: Purdy Bounces Back | We Want Winners
49ers Blowout Rams 27-7 in Australia
In this episode of We Want Winners, Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales break down the 49ers' 27-7 win over the Rams in the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia.
They start with Brock Purdy, who leaned on a short, high-percentage passing game early (25 of 34 for 205 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception) before the offense broke the game open in the second half. Rod and Garrett dig into the one-two punch of Christian McCaffrey (10 carries, 68 yards) and Kaelon Black in the run game, plus how new addition Mike Evans (6 catches, 49 yards, a touchdown) and a healthy Deebo Samuel — who scored on San Francisco's 99-yard fourth-quarter drive — fit together in the passing attack.
On defense, they discuss how getting Nick Bosa (4 tackles, 2 for loss) and Fred Warner (11 tackles, a forced fumble) back in the lineup changed the entire look of the unit, including the goal-line stand that flipped momentum in San Francisco's favor.
They also cover the different travel approaches the 49ers and Rams took to get to Melbourne, and look ahead to the 49ers' next three games.

00:10.067 --> 00:14.373
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, uh, we are back with we want winners Rod Nyer here 49ers.
00:17.675 --> 00:23.459
[SPEAKER_01]: pretty severe beating on the Rams in Australia.
00:24.280 --> 00:28.943
[SPEAKER_01]: It had gotten to a point where late so I think we're in the third quarter.
00:29.743 --> 00:44.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Niners are up by I want to say it's 177 and they're on the one yard line and my kid goes they need to touch down here and I was like a 99 yard drive that's
00:47.010 --> 01:02.456
[SPEAKER_01]: And lo and behold, 99 yards later, Debo Samuel in the back of the end zone, touchdown, and the nine hours at that point were up to, I think it's 24 to seven, but it's just like one of those weird games where almost everything went right for them.
01:03.157 --> 01:09.099
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was just kind of waiting for maybe a little bit of luck or karma or whatever to even out for the ramps.
01:09.579 --> 01:10.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Never happened.
01:11.040 --> 01:17.365
[SPEAKER_01]: The Rams looked tired and jet lagged even though it was supposed to be the opposite and then I was looked fresh.
01:17.425 --> 01:27.553
[SPEAKER_01]: So game one of this 2,026,27 NFL season goes to the San Francisco 49ers when you can beat your rival like that.
01:28.273 --> 01:31.175
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they'll take it because they get them again at home.
01:32.456 --> 01:34.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, you
01:36.248 --> 01:52.286
[SPEAKER_02]: The feet you clearly, they, you know, I'm not going to give that the travel, all the credit, but they look good and they played well and you get the game and the division, which helps and you got it in.
01:53.336 --> 02:10.775
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm not going to say a hustle and wire because it actually sounded like it was their home crowd, but, you know, the circumstance is certainly what you would consider ideal traveling halfway around the world, but they look great.
02:11.175 --> 02:13.237
[SPEAKER_02]: And well, they look good.
02:13.658 --> 02:16.121
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, the defense look really good.
02:16.141 --> 02:19.204
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know how much that had to do with them.
02:19.344 --> 02:23.168
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to give them the credit and, you know, the rams.
02:23.609 --> 02:26.272
[SPEAKER_02]: That, you know, that I don't state it not look.
02:27.313 --> 02:30.396
[SPEAKER_02]: awesome, but tonight we're going to get the Niners to credit for that.
02:30.997 --> 02:44.590
[SPEAKER_02]: And offensively, there were times early, especially when they look kind of shaky, but even that is something that I take away as a positive that Brock was able to get together.
02:44.650 --> 02:45.731
[SPEAKER_02]: He had the one.
02:48.628 --> 02:51.490
[SPEAKER_02]: The one touch down, I mean, the one interception.
02:51.510 --> 03:01.519
[SPEAKER_02]: You had the interception and then you had the one past that you could have been and probably was intercepted, but he just can keep his feet in balance.
03:01.539 --> 03:01.739
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
03:01.839 --> 03:02.119
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
03:02.360 --> 03:04.461
[SPEAKER_01]: That one was near closer to the end zone.
03:05.542 --> 03:07.744
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, but he was able to.
03:09.237 --> 03:29.135
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, stabilize what he was he wasn't, you know, you didn't necessarily have a fast body to use a baseball analogy, but he was able to settle down and still, um, what it mean statistically is not, you know, the 73, um, and a half percent completion have more to do with.
03:29.995 --> 03:46.976
[SPEAKER_02]: The way they were calling the game especially early in that then that 16 to 4 passing stretch when they were just, you know, everything was in within 10 yards of the line of skirmish, which was a smart play to, you know, kind of slow down that pass rush.
03:47.957 --> 03:49.578
[SPEAKER_02]: which was effective.
03:49.938 --> 03:56.080
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was the one thing that I kept with noticing was that number one, that game plan only works.
03:56.360 --> 04:09.464
[SPEAKER_02]: If you stay ahead, you don't want to have to, you don't want to get behind and then take the run-a-game away and have to drop back and pass, but they never found themselves in that situation.
04:09.885 --> 04:13.246
[SPEAKER_02]: And Brock was on, he was steady.
04:13.726 --> 04:16.207
[SPEAKER_02]: He was steady and it showed.
04:17.154 --> 04:23.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Shannon always says he wants to have X number of runs.
04:23.701 --> 04:27.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even remember what the number usually 30 or something like that.
04:28.185 --> 04:35.172
[SPEAKER_01]: And at one point, in the first 20 plays of the game, 16 passes in four rushes.
04:35.933 --> 04:38.735
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I wonder why they're doing it this way.
04:38.775 --> 04:51.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, and then what you're saying makes a lot of sense is you create the thought on the ram side that we're dropping back to pass.
04:52.182 --> 04:57.864
[SPEAKER_01]: And so they're bringing their defensive ends and their past rush.
04:58.265 --> 04:59.565
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's everything is short.
04:59.605 --> 05:01.727
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like they're going through
05:02.807 --> 05:27.181
[SPEAKER_01]: all you know all all the effort to get to brought in its for nothing because they're not getting close to him that there were a couple but they were a little bit more set up for screens which then you got to go chase that running back after you just chased a quarterback and so that makes a lot of sense the way that you just explained it in tiring out the defensive line because I was watching this game thinking they're going to get to Brock at some point because
05:28.281 --> 05:33.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I could just see if Brock has to drop back and sit there and sit there.
05:33.524 --> 05:35.605
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to find opportunities.
05:35.846 --> 05:49.274
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I think he was almost sacked one time and then he had a couple of opportunities to run for first downs and his legs were fresh and the people were chasing him were not so fresh.
05:50.335 --> 05:56.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the 49ers ended up, by the way, with 34 running place.
05:56.723 --> 05:56.883
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
05:56.963 --> 05:57.243
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
05:57.724 --> 05:59.526
[SPEAKER_01]: 30 exactly running place.
06:00.207 --> 06:01.609
[SPEAKER_01]: So they did get to 30.
06:01.889 --> 06:03.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Five of them are from 10 for CMC.
06:05.714 --> 06:11.181
[SPEAKER_01]: The leader in a clubhouse and rushing a tips, Kael and Black, and then Debo had one.
06:12.162 --> 06:16.186
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that was a, what, what a fantastic game plan that they had.
06:16.487 --> 06:20.051
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's talk about the defense because in the second quarter,
06:22.053 --> 06:38.658
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Blake Corrum and Kyle Williams had some giant holes to run through and I was just thinking oh man like this defensive line and then we lose Alfred Collins right before the season and it's just like oh no you know this is going to be the way.
06:40.098 --> 06:52.067
[SPEAKER_01]: and they just held up enough to where they would force Stafford into third-down, and they've played the secondary played extremely well on third-down.
06:52.607 --> 06:53.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Stafford looked frustrated.
06:55.129 --> 06:56.951
[SPEAKER_01]: Puka had a good game.
06:56.991 --> 06:59.252
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think he had a fantastic game.
07:00.173 --> 07:05.217
[SPEAKER_01]: Devontate Adams had like one or two catches when the game was actually going well.
07:06.318 --> 07:11.702
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, it was just all about, oh, you know, these three titans, these three titans, these three titans, it's like great.
07:12.042 --> 07:25.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Take play take play take guys who can make plays off the field is kind of how I saw it But yeah, like I thought it was impressive defensive whole game plan and and everything
07:27.300 --> 07:42.125
[SPEAKER_01]: and I but I will say in that second quarter I was like okay this is kind of where the rams are going to you know are just going to kind of show out and it just it didn't happen like I just thought they're going to run all over us and it ended up not being that big of a part of the game.
07:43.326 --> 07:48.887
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah it um well it is helped that they have the lead and it's helped that
07:51.628 --> 08:14.645
[SPEAKER_02]: while they tried to at least in the first half continued run the ball, because I thought as you kind of mentioned, that they found something there and that I just didn't, somebody was talking to me about, this is one of the deepest interior lines that they've had in several years.
08:14.725 --> 08:19.449
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, they got one guy, also look good, and he's a player.
08:20.444 --> 08:20.864
[SPEAKER_02]: for real.
08:21.185 --> 08:34.292
[SPEAKER_02]: But the rest of those guys, you know, don't really have any interference in, you know, somebody like CJ West, the experience the experience you had wasn't very good.
08:35.033 --> 08:36.433
[SPEAKER_02]: But halted
08:44.380 --> 08:45.760
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the game got out of reach?
08:46.221 --> 08:48.321
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you're just handing the ball off.
08:48.381 --> 08:49.142
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's fine.
08:49.162 --> 08:57.664
[SPEAKER_02]: You give them those yards when you're done, when you're up 20, you know, if they want to go ahead and do that, then that's fine.
08:57.985 --> 09:05.107
[SPEAKER_02]: And so if there's something that bears watching, it is the run defense, but not tonight.
09:05.507 --> 09:07.988
[SPEAKER_02]: It was they played well on defense.
09:08.008 --> 09:09.468
[SPEAKER_02]: They shut them out in a second half.
09:09.909 --> 09:11.869
[SPEAKER_02]: They held them in a seven point.
09:14.470 --> 09:19.072
[SPEAKER_02]: Devante didn't get anything, Poo-Coo, you know, had the one big play.
09:20.112 --> 09:24.794
[SPEAKER_02]: Cotton Williams, they had Blake or I'm a good, but, you know, it just, it didn't do anything.
09:24.994 --> 09:30.976
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Devante was open, and there were several times, especially early, we're staffed, just missed him.
09:31.756 --> 09:34.317
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of the most frustrating things to me, and it's not just the
09:38.959 --> 09:43.560
[SPEAKER_02]: Stafford just flat misses the Vante and there's up to style.
09:43.620 --> 09:52.803
[SPEAKER_02]: There's set of break and like he had done something And it was just the you know, bro if he if the ball is on target You just gave up a big play.
09:53.083 --> 09:59.585
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but yeah, I mean, I guess you celebrate in a result But um, yeah, that's that's just one of my pet peeves not just him.
09:59.625 --> 10:08.028
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not picking on him or the niders It's just in any game that I'm watching when the guy Celebrates the dude throwing it
10:08.596 --> 10:20.332
[SPEAKER_02]: 15 yards over his head is that it's always mad in me, but they they looked good and they didn't really pressure.
10:23.194 --> 10:25.516
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a, they were more disruptive.
10:25.676 --> 10:27.016
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, been pressuring.
10:27.677 --> 10:31.099
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but that's an improvement over last year.
10:31.439 --> 10:34.942
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's going to be it'll be interesting to see as we move forward.
10:35.582 --> 10:40.245
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I like the fact that he, um, the more is, um,
10:41.545 --> 10:55.789
[SPEAKER_02]: Fred really never came, but putting him, you know, lining him up as the fifth, you know, lining him up on a lot of skirmish, faking like he's going to come makes, you know, it just makes them have to, there's one more thing for them to worry about.
10:56.049 --> 11:05.852
[SPEAKER_02]: So I like that look, I like like the simulated pressure, portion of that, and, um, nigga good, um, and, you know,
11:09.113 --> 11:10.194
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just amazing.
11:10.334 --> 11:17.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Did I read a stat that he is the all-time leader in tackles or something like that for the Niners now?
11:18.940 --> 11:21.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, I'll have to look that up.
11:21.282 --> 11:24.364
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw that and I was like, I'm trying to think could that be possible?
11:26.446 --> 11:27.326
[SPEAKER_00]: How long is he?
11:27.346 --> 11:29.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm going to play.
11:31.069 --> 11:39.893
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that the Niners, I mean, I just went to the Niners Twitter to see if they because it feels like that would be a stat that they would tweet at.
11:39.933 --> 11:40.154
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
11:40.974 --> 11:42.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
11:42.315 --> 11:48.858
[SPEAKER_01]: But we'll circle back on this one, but I did want to say that Shelvin in the chat had a struggling update.
11:50.311 --> 11:53.272
[SPEAKER_01]: not sure the strip club is necessarily closed yet.
11:54.013 --> 12:01.556
[SPEAKER_01]: So Kyle said that it is an ankle injury and the Achilles is intact.
12:02.477 --> 12:04.257
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's good to know.
12:04.517 --> 12:04.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
12:05.298 --> 12:14.242
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, we saw last week that, or this week, that, A.D. Brown.
12:15.274 --> 12:24.923
[SPEAKER_02]: Yesterday, we had ankle injury, high ankle sprain, four games at least, but that high ankle sprain is one of those things that tends to linger.
12:25.063 --> 12:29.908
[SPEAKER_02]: So you need to be careful with it and get it in back.
12:30.368 --> 12:34.132
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't, oh, well, I guess so.
12:35.533 --> 12:36.253
[SPEAKER_02]: I just looked it up.
12:38.135 --> 12:46.142
[SPEAKER_02]: Through last season, Patrick Bulls was won with 950 career tackles, and Fred came into the game with 948.
12:46.162 --> 12:46.462
[SPEAKER_02]: So...
12:50.137 --> 12:51.058
[SPEAKER_02]: he just needed to.
12:51.638 --> 12:57.283
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go tonight to tie him in three two, um, passing.
12:57.583 --> 12:58.584
[SPEAKER_02]: That's impressive.
12:58.684 --> 12:58.904
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
12:58.924 --> 12:59.525
[SPEAKER_01]: That's amazing.
12:59.605 --> 13:00.065
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
13:01.206 --> 13:07.411
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, talk about two dudes who, uh, I mean, one of them just made the Hall of Fame.
13:07.471 --> 13:08.752
[SPEAKER_01]: So what does that say about Fred?
13:08.772 --> 13:10.273
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of a lot of good things about.
13:10.473 --> 13:14.036
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I thought coming in to this season.
13:14.056 --> 13:18.420
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he could get one more all pro that, um, that would pretty much.
13:19.385 --> 13:38.261
[SPEAKER_02]: He pretty much be a lock at that point and then as you say with this, I did, I had never really looked at the career stat, the career tackle in, you know, Patrick is kind of is that this call was going to be kind of an asterisk with his statistics because he, he left so soon.
13:38.521 --> 13:46.928
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it's still a huge accomplishment for both of them, you know, for for Patrick to get it the word accurate in.
13:48.033 --> 13:56.566
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and what would be it, you know, a somewhat truncated career, and um, for Fred to, um, now surpass it.
13:56.626 --> 13:57.207
[SPEAKER_02]: That's um,
13:58.151 --> 13:59.251
[SPEAKER_02]: That's very impressive.
13:59.271 --> 14:03.312
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's such a, such a, you know, he's such a great player.
14:03.792 --> 14:10.314
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, you know, it's, I feel, I feel, he's one of those got, well, I'm not, I'm not going to compare anybody to the staff.
14:10.874 --> 14:13.535
[SPEAKER_02]: He is one of those guys that I am.
14:14.735 --> 14:18.096
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel fortunate to have, you know, watched his whole career.
14:18.636 --> 14:20.358
[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, I'm gonna show my shirt.
14:20.498 --> 14:29.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna see if you can read it, but I didn't realize until Actually we started that this shirt could have actually been about this game too.
14:29.286 --> 14:30.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you can you see what the shirt says?
14:34.452 --> 14:35.112
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
14:35.132 --> 14:35.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
14:35.952 --> 14:36.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
14:36.292 --> 14:36.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
14:37.793 --> 14:41.854
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody could have did that on the field early in the fourth quarter.
14:42.654 --> 14:43.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
14:43.374 --> 14:54.176
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk a little bit about Nick because I thought he now, you know, we didn't see every snap he took, but he looked active.
14:54.276 --> 14:55.436
[SPEAKER_01]: He was around the ball.
14:55.857 --> 14:57.157
[SPEAKER_01]: He was around the quarterback.
14:57.757 --> 14:58.717
[SPEAKER_01]: First play the game.
14:59.057 --> 15:00.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I think for the Niners defense.
15:00.718 --> 15:01.418
[SPEAKER_01]: He was right there.
15:02.978 --> 15:10.046
[SPEAKER_01]: He just brings something, he brings something that the other team is afraid of.
15:10.607 --> 15:22.339
[SPEAKER_01]: And when he's not there, the other team is not afraid at all, and I just reminded me of how good he is, because even when he doesn't, now when he sacks the quarterback,
15:23.267 --> 15:38.193
[SPEAKER_01]: obviously that's a different element, but even when he doesn't, even when he gets close or when he's able to jump a play because he's so smart and he, you know, the running back is just in his arms within a half a second, like that is just so noticeable on the field.
15:39.013 --> 15:43.134
[SPEAKER_01]: And you talked about Fred being there and that was obviously amazing.
15:43.554 --> 15:46.736
[SPEAKER_01]: He gets the fumble and then he almost had an interception early on too.
15:47.216 --> 15:49.777
[SPEAKER_01]: But having both of those guys back, the defense is just
15:50.757 --> 16:09.552
[SPEAKER_01]: So much different and not to say that, you know, there's going to be times, I think, this season, where, you know, some of the secondary is going to get picked on and there will be moments where, you know, maybe the past rush isn't there and a, and a hot quarterback will kind of carve them up a little bit.
16:09.592 --> 16:16.017
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you have those guys on the field, it is such a big difference to what we saw last year.
16:16.437 --> 16:19.440
[SPEAKER_01]: It almost feels like it's like one of those things where you're like, man,
16:20.180 --> 16:23.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this feels new and it doesn't really feel new.
16:23.201 --> 16:29.164
[SPEAKER_01]: It just feels like two years ago, rather than last year and it makes such a difference, especially in a game like this.
16:30.244 --> 16:31.865
[SPEAKER_01]: And he is not.
16:32.626 --> 16:36.807
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not putting straight green lock at the level of player.
16:37.468 --> 16:41.309
[SPEAKER_02]: That Fred Warner and Nick Bosa are because he's not.
16:41.650 --> 16:48.673
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's something about there is a force multiplier that happens when.
16:49.613 --> 16:51.014
[SPEAKER_02]: the two of them are together.
16:51.054 --> 17:00.519
[SPEAKER_02]: When Fred and Dre are together, they seem to feed off of each other, and he is always around the ball.
17:01.000 --> 17:07.003
[SPEAKER_02]: And so when you combine those three, and then I also, after one
17:11.583 --> 17:19.687
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, he had a really good game for his, you know, they were, we got gas.
17:19.787 --> 17:26.550
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been able to look at tape to see where he was on those run place.
17:27.191 --> 17:27.731
[SPEAKER_02]: But, um,
17:28.591 --> 17:41.424
[SPEAKER_02]: I was impressed with his debut and we've got guys now and you know the thing about Fred is that he is an eraser out there He's been a when something goes wrong.
17:41.544 --> 17:44.687
[SPEAKER_02]: It just seems if something goes wrong like somebody
17:45.795 --> 17:49.078
[SPEAKER_02]: doesn't, you know, gives it up in the gap.
17:49.098 --> 17:50.600
[SPEAKER_02]: And the play is there.
17:51.741 --> 17:53.983
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a play there for the running back.
17:54.884 --> 18:00.670
[SPEAKER_02]: Somehow it's always Fred who kind of cleans that up or turns what could have been
18:01.430 --> 18:28.649
[SPEAKER_02]: And eight yard gain into only a three or four yard game and that's that is something that is, you know, we obviously missed last year, but um, it's, you know, you early it was like, you know, this is the same old Fred, you know, he was, he looked good and like you said it's, it's so obvious that they are game planning around where he is and like I said, why I thought,
18:29.621 --> 18:44.654
[SPEAKER_02]: the moving him around and putting him on the line, even if it's just a decoy, that is something you could see that was something that Stafford and the center had to account for where he is at because he is just such a difference maker.
18:45.054 --> 18:51.099
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's hard when Nick looked like he did today, I can't wait to really look at the tape.
18:51.640 --> 18:51.820
[SPEAKER_02]: But
18:53.200 --> 18:53.860
[SPEAKER_02]: He's alone.
18:53.980 --> 18:55.881
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't single block him.
18:56.721 --> 19:14.548
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to account for him, which is what the whole point was last year was that if you have him in front and the young guy Williams, there should be opportunities for everybody because, you know, they're going to have to
19:15.852 --> 19:17.134
[SPEAKER_02]: provide to for Nick.
19:17.594 --> 19:21.199
[SPEAKER_02]: And then it looks like O's is a guy that is going to have to be doubled.
19:21.359 --> 19:26.325
[SPEAKER_02]: And then so those other guys, wherever they are out there, they've got to win.
19:29.039 --> 19:43.050
[SPEAKER_02]: But they have to be able to find guys who can go out there and win when those two guys are occupying for you have to be able to other two have to be able to beat their one on one.
19:43.210 --> 19:50.916
[SPEAKER_02]: It's for this to work long term that has to happen and willfully it can.
19:53.160 --> 20:11.547
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to put up robber's little note here, he mentioned the one to punch, and he compared it to a change of pace of like a gore and a candle hunter, I mean, we'll wait and see about it, you know, Katelyn Black only, this is his first game ever.
20:12.532 --> 20:17.395
[SPEAKER_01]: I did like the idea of the change of pace though.
20:17.555 --> 20:27.021
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, one thing that I was worried about, I mentioned this in some of our preseason stuff, is that when black comes on the field, it may get a little predictable.
20:27.997 --> 20:54.787
[SPEAKER_01]: but you saw him catch pass out of the backfield and almost score so that looked good uh... i don't know how how much they consider him as a blocker or not but you know they're just him being able to play and shanahan being able to trust him now let's see what happens if he had actually fumbles in one of these games that that trust me got the window but he played and i don't think your james played so that tells you
20:56.208 --> 21:13.521
[SPEAKER_01]: a good amount of how much they really, really like him, they were able to cut back on the McAfrey snaps, which they were unable to do last year, almost to the point of where it felt like you know, McAfrey was like fighting just to be out there and they were like, game one, we're switching this up.
21:13.601 --> 21:21.308
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if we'll see that kind of split in some of the some of these upcoming games, but it was actually nice to see.
21:22.880 --> 21:26.121
[SPEAKER_01]: somebody other than McAfrey be able to do some stuff out there.
21:26.962 --> 21:27.202
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:27.442 --> 21:33.365
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, score dictated a lot of that in terms of being able to give them time.
21:33.445 --> 21:33.765
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
21:34.724 --> 21:36.885
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, he got what was blocked.
21:37.206 --> 21:43.350
[SPEAKER_02]: And I, you know, you had made a comparison to if he could be Jordan Mason, yeah.
21:43.570 --> 21:46.392
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be a big advantage.
21:46.492 --> 21:55.438
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, he didn't strike me as cause Mason is a odd dude, he's powerful, but then he's got
21:56.418 --> 21:57.599
[SPEAKER_02]: like a burst.
21:57.999 --> 22:00.621
[SPEAKER_02]: But he is a, he's a number one running back in the lead.
22:00.761 --> 22:05.443
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's a RB one on a good offense.
22:05.784 --> 22:07.124
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's a good player.
22:07.164 --> 22:14.749
[SPEAKER_02]: So if he is able to be just that that is a, um, that's definitely an upgrade.
22:15.329 --> 22:16.750
[SPEAKER_02]: And it will be useful.
22:17.050 --> 22:21.673
[SPEAKER_02]: I always push back though on the notion that,
22:23.260 --> 22:29.585
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like the ball in Christian's hands as many times as we get in this hands, but I get it, he's older.
22:30.606 --> 22:40.074
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't ever see it being a split where it's like, this dude is like taking food off his plate.
22:40.314 --> 22:49.722
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's nice to have a change of pace and in circumstances like this, where the game is out of hand either way,
22:50.683 --> 23:03.362
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got somebody out there who's competent or even when it's closed, you've got somebody who's competent to Get the yards that are blocked and at this point if he can just be dead
23:04.380 --> 23:07.361
[SPEAKER_02]: in his rookie season, that would be great.
23:07.881 --> 23:16.344
[SPEAKER_02]: They, if we, if Kyle can draw it up to block it for three or for four yards and he can get those four yards, that's great.
23:16.424 --> 23:19.105
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be a boom to the offense.
23:19.445 --> 23:29.168
[SPEAKER_02]: And also, I've always thought that if you were going to kind of try to take work off of Christian's plate, it would be that early downward.
23:29.208 --> 23:31.469
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't need him plunging into the line of scrimmage
23:34.190 --> 24:01.315
[SPEAKER_02]: But on third down, regardless, I want the ball in his hands, absolutely, when the money is made, but if if Black can be the guy who does that early down work and is able to be effective, where you're looking at second and six, or you know, being productive in those early downs
24:03.362 --> 24:16.834
[SPEAKER_02]: or third, and two or three, which they were doing, they did an excellent job in this game of being, keeping ahead of the sticks.
24:17.214 --> 24:24.060
[SPEAKER_02]: If he is able to do that and doesn't have a whole bunch of lost, you know, no games or,
24:26.320 --> 24:28.342
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, rushes for loss.
24:29.103 --> 24:31.986
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a meaningful upgrade.
24:32.386 --> 24:37.411
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have a crazy amount of work.
24:37.591 --> 24:38.432
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can.
24:39.674 --> 24:42.916
[SPEAKER_02]: cut back on Christian's rushing attempts.
24:43.296 --> 24:44.317
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have any problem with that.
24:44.337 --> 24:56.484
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to, I want to want to feel and if they can get in 100 targets, that's great because generally speaking, those receiving receiving touches are not as punishing as rushing touches.
24:56.824 --> 25:07.311
[SPEAKER_02]: So if he allows for that too, where he's able to be more of a slot type out of the back feel receiver and black, you know, if they can ever get to a point where they can play together,
25:07.891 --> 25:16.595
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be, you know, I'm talking away into the future, but yeah, and I don't know what you should have probably some to say about that, too.
25:16.655 --> 25:18.395
[SPEAKER_01]: I still want to see Jordan James, though.
25:18.475 --> 25:20.136
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Jordan James has something.
25:20.376 --> 25:21.316
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'd like to see him.
25:21.336 --> 25:23.217
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's obviously, he is more...
25:26.407 --> 25:36.230
[SPEAKER_02]: the guy, if you were to pick a running back to play behind Christian McCaffrey, to be able to do he's not Christian McCaffrey.
25:36.310 --> 25:44.392
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not say that, but I'm saying style of back, you don't, I don't perceive you having to change the offense much.
25:45.612 --> 25:54.135
[SPEAKER_02]: You should have pretty much the entire playbook to do the same things Christian does in theory, because he's able to catch it
25:55.435 --> 25:57.618
[SPEAKER_02]: he has a little movement.
25:57.899 --> 26:03.307
[SPEAKER_02]: So you would think that, but it's interesting that they went with black, um, week one.
26:03.728 --> 26:10.318
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, speaking of third down, Mike Evans played the role,
26:11.767 --> 26:13.348
[SPEAKER_01]: of Mike Evans in the end zone.
26:14.148 --> 26:21.530
[SPEAKER_01]: And also the role of Joanne Jennings with all those third down catches big target for Perti.
26:22.391 --> 26:26.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Perti can miss a little a little bit and Evans will still go and get it.
26:27.192 --> 26:28.413
[SPEAKER_01]: That was nice to see.
26:29.493 --> 26:31.894
[SPEAKER_01]: The touchdown was great to see.
26:31.914 --> 26:34.955
[SPEAKER_01]: He, you know, he played.
26:35.495 --> 26:38.256
[SPEAKER_01]: He did exactly what they needed to do in this game one.
26:38.777 --> 26:39.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Where you, which thing about Mike?
26:41.349 --> 26:45.811
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a, he's a cheat code in the end zone and that's probably passing a friend.
26:45.851 --> 26:50.393
[SPEAKER_02]: So if he doesn't catch that past because my man was just all over him because he's a problem.
26:50.433 --> 26:52.253
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just a big guy.
26:52.474 --> 26:55.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you want on one is going to be a problem.
26:57.722 --> 27:05.427
[SPEAKER_02]: Just say, as they always do online, early this year, when people were talking about Hall of Fame or Mike Evans, that dude is not here anymore.
27:05.508 --> 27:10.651
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not this guy that we have here is not Hall of Fame or Mike Evans.
27:10.691 --> 27:13.973
[SPEAKER_02]: That does not mean that he can't be that.
27:14.094 --> 27:17.636
[SPEAKER_02]: What he was tonight, he'd absolutely be that all season long.
27:17.676 --> 27:25.321
[SPEAKER_02]: He can be a possession receiver and in the end zone, or hell, even on third downs in the middle of the field.
27:29.668 --> 27:30.169
[SPEAKER_02]: Good luck.
27:30.389 --> 27:45.222
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just he's just so physically imposing and that has been his game, his entire that part of his game will be the last to go he will be able to post guys up and make physical plays.
27:46.023 --> 27:51.347
[SPEAKER_02]: until he's 40, if as long as his, you know, soft tissue allows him.
27:51.527 --> 27:56.030
[SPEAKER_02]: But it was a good first start, first came for him.
27:56.110 --> 28:00.493
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that we saw what is going to be his role on this team.
28:00.513 --> 28:01.974
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to be a chain mover.
28:02.454 --> 28:09.499
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, in the third, in Vezon, has been a problem for us for several years.
28:09.739 --> 28:14.022
[SPEAKER_02]: Even, you know, in the Super Bowl year, we weren't great in the red zone.
28:16.110 --> 28:27.015
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he is special and then the attention that he's going to eventually get, I don't know how many more times we're going to have to, you know, out there on him one or one.
28:27.615 --> 28:30.977
[SPEAKER_02]: It just seems like a bad plan.
28:31.177 --> 28:37.580
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that does not, that's not going to in-will for most guys.
28:37.940 --> 28:45.003
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I'm really excited about that and I've got him on two teams, so that's encouraging.
28:45.755 --> 28:59.482
[SPEAKER_01]: I also just, I was just smiling watching Debo play, he played, like his numbers weren't gotty in any way, but he just stood out in moments that they needed him.
29:00.182 --> 29:03.363
[SPEAKER_01]: There was the kickoff return to start the second half.
29:04.044 --> 29:06.625
[SPEAKER_01]: There was the the third down catch and run.
29:06.645 --> 29:10.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he even had a 12 yard running play designed for him.
29:13.156 --> 29:28.027
[SPEAKER_01]: As long as you know, he's another guy who can take some punishment and you don't want to just ride him until the wheels fall off because the wheels will fall off like that he's just, you know, you just need to keep him fresh.
29:28.968 --> 29:43.293
[SPEAKER_01]: but having him and Christian on the same team, they do some similar stuff and it's almost like, you know, you can use them together or when Christian is off, then Debo can do some Christian stuff.
29:43.313 --> 29:46.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's it's pretty, it was pretty fun to see how Kyle is using it.
29:46.854 --> 29:47.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's like,
29:48.154 --> 30:06.168
[SPEAKER_01]: okay like we we already know how to use this guy like there we don't need to learn anything here like we know we know exactly what we want him to do and i just think that the way that Debo plays the way that Mike Evans plays they they fit pretty well together now we're still missing the burner who could go deep
30:06.788 --> 30:11.951
[SPEAKER_01]: But of all people, Marcus Robinson's the one who catches the, you know, the 40-yard touchdown past or whatever that was.
30:12.311 --> 30:16.334
[SPEAKER_01]: And he looked pretty spray in his, in his couple of catches that he had.
30:16.794 --> 30:20.817
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that was, that was fun to see just the way that they utilize their white receivers.
30:20.857 --> 30:22.758
[SPEAKER_01]: And we know George will be utilized as well.
30:22.798 --> 30:25.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, you know, you have these, these
30:31.423 --> 30:38.688
[SPEAKER_01]: And in Debo and I think Kyle's going to have a lot of fun figuring out how to manipulate defenses with these guys.
30:40.008 --> 30:44.671
[SPEAKER_02]: He was killing them on those tidings screens early.
30:45.212 --> 30:51.936
[SPEAKER_02]: It was he just he kept going to it because they couldn't stop it and then, you know, Kyle.
30:53.397 --> 30:56.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody understands how to use Dibo quite like Kyle.
30:56.959 --> 31:00.901
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I was, I love Dibo throughout all of it.
31:01.301 --> 31:12.287
[SPEAKER_02]: I, you know, so I watched a lot of risk and games and it was one of those things where you realize when you, you know, as you have a player that you like and it's like, you hate to see him put in a situation where,
31:16.027 --> 31:17.528
[SPEAKER_02]: that he's out of position.
31:17.748 --> 31:21.569
[SPEAKER_02]: It was clear last year that he's not a number one receiver.
31:21.729 --> 31:27.351
[SPEAKER_02]: And when he's putting a position to be one, it just, it was frustrating.
31:27.491 --> 31:28.892
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure it was frustrating for him.
31:28.912 --> 31:32.273
[SPEAKER_02]: It was frustrating for me because that has never been his game.
31:32.673 --> 31:43.017
[SPEAKER_02]: It's always been, you know, Kyle is always always, but not to say that Cliff Kingsbury isn't a wonderful offensive coordinator because he is, and he's creative,
31:45.220 --> 31:49.921
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think for them, it was Debo was ever meant to be the number one.
31:49.941 --> 32:00.704
[SPEAKER_02]: It was supposed to be McLaren that didn't work out and it failed to him and he did his best but that he looked good here and Kyle knows how to use him.
32:01.044 --> 32:04.725
[SPEAKER_02]: And like you said, that's the only concern is we know we've seen it.
32:04.765 --> 32:05.665
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen this show.
32:05.965 --> 32:11.306
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle will ride right in the ground because he trust Debo and he knows exactly
32:15.047 --> 32:23.813
[SPEAKER_02]: that, um, I don't think he really, you know, knock on wood, that he really has to ride anybody.
32:24.173 --> 32:30.437
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, as long as everybody's healthy, I mean, George, when he's healthy,
32:31.528 --> 32:37.557
[SPEAKER_02]: He's, I have no reason to believe he's still not a game record, just from a cavalry is one of the best players in the league.
32:37.577 --> 32:44.807
[SPEAKER_02]: Debo, you know, is not what he wants was, but as we saw today, he can be productive in the role they have Mike Evans in.
32:44.948 --> 32:47.151
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he can be productive with.
32:48.212 --> 33:09.609
[SPEAKER_02]: Concerned me all offseason when we talked about my Kevin's they kept calling him X and I guess that's the position that he plays But he's not gonna be a guy who's gonna go out there and stress to feel and I don't think you would ask him to do that I think but I think he can be overaffected in the role they like you said that role that you described is our
33:10.588 --> 33:35.871
[SPEAKER_02]: red zone cheat code and then in the middle of the field and doubt you know he is juan of much you know the better version of juan jing it's a guy who you can go to a third down and you know it I would think it would be great for Brock because I mean with guy his size you just got to throw it in the dairy code and he can go get it so that was a very good
33:37.700 --> 33:38.781
[SPEAKER_02]: debut for him.
33:39.021 --> 33:50.449
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, just him being out there is a, um, is a plus, you know, because that's something we're going to come on this all year is his status of his soft tissue situation.
33:52.070 --> 33:59.655
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing that I think we'll get still get a lot of talk over the next couple days and teams are going teams.
33:59.695 --> 34:03.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure we're studying both how the Niners and the Rams treated the
34:07.395 --> 34:10.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Rams got out there, not early, just the day before.
34:11.739 --> 34:14.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it their team president who was out there on Twitter?
34:15.802 --> 34:16.523
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you see that?
34:18.104 --> 34:18.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
34:18.745 --> 34:25.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Very defensive, you know, kind of frustrated with what people were saying.
34:25.211 --> 34:32.077
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess, I think he was even frustrated with Kyle Shanahan saying that the Rams chose the Niners as the opponent.
34:32.117 --> 34:33.258
[SPEAKER_01]: He's saying that's not true.
34:35.971 --> 34:51.120
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how you could see this in the other way then getting out there early and preparing your body was the right way to do it now it may not always be the right way in some cases the teams may just be able to their good enough to be able to handle it but.
34:51.920 --> 35:05.512
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, man, like one team looked closer to what the finished product could be and the other team looked like a shadow of who they will be and I think the Rams are going to be fine.
35:05.532 --> 35:07.874
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to still be a really good football team.
35:09.055 --> 35:12.397
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have a built-in excuse which may have been part of the thing.
35:13.318 --> 35:14.399
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that yeah, who cares?
35:14.439 --> 35:22.707
[SPEAKER_01]: It was only week one like we're looking at this whole thing, you know, for for the for the journey, not just for this one moment.
35:22.747 --> 35:34.938
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not, yeah, I think the even the the president was like, you know, we'll worry about the NFL international plan, you know, over the next 51 weeks, not this week.
35:35.618 --> 35:43.007
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think teams are going to look at how both teams handled this and this may kind of be like the blueprint of how you want to do it in the future.
35:43.367 --> 35:50.896
[SPEAKER_01]: For trips like this, for smaller trips or shorter trips, it's probably not that big of a deal, but for a trip like this, it sure did seem like a big deal.
35:51.995 --> 36:07.633
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's what gets tricky is when you have these games, um, you'll miss season, um, that we, they have the luxury of being able to do it because it wasn't really a game prior to it.
36:07.934 --> 36:11.278
[SPEAKER_02]: So unless they're going to do something with buys, which I, I, I.
36:12.244 --> 36:20.511
[SPEAKER_02]: And if I was a team, I'd much rather have to buy after the game than before the game to allow you to get there early.
36:21.532 --> 36:35.603
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I think this all is going to be an experiment because Roger Gidell has said it that the goal, nine this year is the most has ever been, see they're nine or 11, I can't remember.
36:35.643 --> 36:37.865
[SPEAKER_02]: But this is the most international games.
36:38.245 --> 36:39.809
[SPEAKER_02]: that they've ever had in a season.
36:39.929 --> 36:43.839
[SPEAKER_02]: And their goal was to get to an international game weekly.
36:44.521 --> 36:47.188
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, they're looking to...
36:48.277 --> 36:49.617
[SPEAKER_02]: double it up basically.
36:50.418 --> 37:13.202
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is, I say that to say that this is something that I'm sure teams will study and try to come up with a game plan and a blueprint for what's better but I think in a small sample size, I would definitely prefer to be there longer than shorter and I understand that there's like a, I've heard some scientists talking about it that there is like a you don't want to middle ground.
37:13.363 --> 37:15.363
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to go early
37:16.575 --> 37:28.564
[SPEAKER_02]: or go late, you don't want to be like, you wouldn't want to have come like two or three days before the game because that's when the jet lag really sets in.
37:29.624 --> 37:32.707
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's the way they did it is one way to do it.
37:32.727 --> 37:35.789
[SPEAKER_02]: And I doubt they would do it again that way.
37:37.268 --> 37:37.488
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
37:37.508 --> 37:56.947
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a question from Robert, uh, what are the expectations for the first four dolphins, then Arizona, then Denver, and the Niners have a very favorable schedule to to start this season, actually.
37:57.167 --> 38:00.089
[SPEAKER_01]: So home against the dolphins next week, next Sunday.
38:00.790 --> 38:09.412
[SPEAKER_01]: worse than the least worse than home against the cardinals the following Sunday probably the second worst team.
38:10.312 --> 38:10.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
38:11.952 --> 38:26.315
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean you're absolutely right which is why winning this game you could actually do some you know do do a little bit of damage to the Rams possibly because of how the schedule's laid out and then you do get a tough one
38:27.095 --> 38:33.538
[SPEAKER_01]: back to back home against the Broncos and then on the road in Seattle and I didn't get to watch a lot of that Seattle game.
38:34.138 --> 38:39.841
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched about a quarter and a half of it and I meant to get back to it today, but work was kind of crazy so I didn't get back to it.
38:40.541 --> 38:50.066
[SPEAKER_01]: But after they lost, uh, Donald, I was like, oh man, like, you know, New England should actually start to, you know, be able to to figure this thing out and just didn't not happen.
38:50.266 --> 38:52.007
[SPEAKER_01]: They've seemingly just, you know,
38:55.168 --> 38:57.789
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the Rams are going to be there.
38:58.129 --> 39:02.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously Seattle is going to be there as long as they get Donald back sooner than later.
39:02.431 --> 39:12.914
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how long they can play without him, you know, with Drew Locke, the defense might be good enough to win 10 games with Drew Locke as quarterback for all we know.
39:13.654 --> 39:14.995
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, this is
39:16.665 --> 39:29.729
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a we still got a long ways until January and February, but the way that they won this game you could kind of see a pretty nice start to this season because of who they play next.
39:44.638 --> 39:57.308
[SPEAKER_02]: This team that we saw, unless there is even if there is a let down next week, did the Dolphins are bad.
39:57.588 --> 40:00.470
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think they are intentionally bad.
40:00.630 --> 40:02.652
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they want to win many games.
40:03.172 --> 40:03.512
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
40:04.683 --> 40:05.824
[SPEAKER_02]: We should be that team.
40:06.224 --> 40:11.488
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, I think they're paying like $100 million to players who are not on their team.
40:11.588 --> 40:13.610
[SPEAKER_01]: Something right, right.
40:13.990 --> 40:19.033
[SPEAKER_02]: And they haven't really replaced them with, you know, poor Malik Willis.
40:19.053 --> 40:26.479
[SPEAKER_02]: He finally gets his shot to start and like he's got the worst receive in court in the league.
40:26.799 --> 40:30.241
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just, it's a bad team and then the Cardinals.
40:31.242 --> 40:34.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we, oh, Joe, it would Jacobi percent after last year, man.
40:34.904 --> 40:35.364
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:35.584 --> 40:35.744
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:35.764 --> 40:36.364
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
40:37.144 --> 40:37.485
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:38.205 --> 40:41.326
[SPEAKER_02]: But that, that's the out of defense is still feel.
40:41.766 --> 40:43.207
[SPEAKER_02]: They are really good.
40:43.707 --> 40:45.948
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but you, um, you nailed it.
40:46.708 --> 40:47.829
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, there.
40:49.109 --> 40:49.829
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.
40:49.889 --> 40:51.370
[SPEAKER_02]: I got, I got, um,
40:53.805 --> 40:59.047
[SPEAKER_02]: I got distracted because I saw something about Seattle.
40:59.187 --> 41:02.008
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe working out Jimmy G. Oh, that would be.
41:02.448 --> 41:03.548
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be awesome.
41:03.928 --> 41:04.869
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my goodness.
41:05.549 --> 41:07.270
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be awesome.
41:07.450 --> 41:08.290
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd love it.
41:08.770 --> 41:16.733
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's a Jimmy G move because some people, some people were like trying to find spots for him.
41:16.753 --> 41:16.813
[SPEAKER_01]: And
41:19.917 --> 41:25.690
[SPEAKER_01]: Two things need to need to happen for Jimmy G to even get off the couch.
41:26.091 --> 41:26.251
[SPEAKER_01]: One.
41:27.722 --> 41:52.051
[SPEAKER_01]: need to be on a good team like he's not going to get off the couch to be on a he's not going to lie and lay it yet non play out team well maybe mine okay so there are but the second thing is the consideration like you said is where now Seattle isn't necessarily the the nightlife capital of the world but they're so good that
41:52.911 --> 42:17.069
[SPEAKER_02]: if you might need another ring right if they just need somebody to be able to make a couple third down throws he might still be able to I mean he's not going to be able to move so they'll be they'll have to block for him but uh you know I just think it would be a juicy story if in week whatever that is is that four or five yeah that um Jimmy G is warming up on the sideline
42:17.809 --> 42:27.352
[SPEAKER_02]: against Kyle and the rest of these guys guys that I'm assuming that he, you know, well, he definitely has history with a lot of these guys.
42:27.392 --> 42:32.094
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, you know, he doesn't remember near their text messages, but you're right.
42:32.254 --> 42:42.157
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't seem like maybe they're not friends, but yeah, that would be a cool, that's just the Simmons, I mean, that would be a cool story line.
42:42.478 --> 42:43.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, I love it.
42:43.438 --> 42:45.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be, I think it'll be amazing.
42:47.865 --> 42:59.813
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we can kind of do this a little bit since it is week one, but after this game, I actually let let me let me take it back a second.
43:03.055 --> 43:04.876
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you believe that.
43:09.150 --> 43:19.398
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you believe before the season started, that the 49ers, I think you more than me, you did, but did you think that they would compete at this level in this game?
43:21.800 --> 43:21.940
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
43:22.965 --> 43:28.009
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I thought that this would be a working progress.
43:28.170 --> 43:33.554
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that we would need to, I thought the offense would be fine.
43:33.994 --> 43:40.300
[SPEAKER_02]: Where I was concerned about was how the pieces to the defense would come together.
43:40.360 --> 43:45.544
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was prepared to give more of some grace on
43:46.637 --> 43:50.919
[SPEAKER_02]: treating that defensive vine situation together.
43:51.299 --> 43:58.943
[SPEAKER_02]: And wasn't worried about Fred and Dre, but that secondary is, it's challenged.
43:59.123 --> 44:03.245
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my guy, jaiya brown, it looked rough today.
44:03.305 --> 44:08.828
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure how he's gonna grade out, but there were three or four reps that,
44:12.338 --> 44:27.081
[SPEAKER_02]: He just having him play the free safety role is it was a it was a known problem and for whatever reason maybe he's couldn't find anybody who was better.
44:27.101 --> 44:36.183
[SPEAKER_02]: They have him out there and single didn't do awful he was terrible as he's in and he.
44:37.268 --> 44:45.459
[SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't terrible today, so again, I still believe the door looked good.
44:45.640 --> 44:47.843
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really looking at looking forward to getting
44:48.805 --> 44:53.689
[SPEAKER_02]: digging kind of digging into that take, but he seemed to be in good position.
44:53.749 --> 44:58.934
[SPEAKER_02]: So, they got some good performances and I don't know how much of that is the Rams.
44:59.514 --> 45:14.387
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how much of that is in that decide to try out those three tight ends and allowing those defensive backs to be in phase and not really challenging like you had said earlier when you take skill positions
45:17.135 --> 45:28.746
[SPEAKER_02]: No disrespect to Titans, I guess George would probably be one if I didn't, if I said that wasn't a skill position that he would Bristol at generally speaking.
45:29.568 --> 45:36.210
[SPEAKER_02]: you don't think of those tight ends, tight ends being, let's say just vertical threats.
45:36.870 --> 45:56.217
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you make it, I believe you make it easier on the defense in the passing game, but the multiplicity of, you know, not really knowing whether it's run or pass and then when it's run, you're kind of outflank, because you got all these big guys out on the field, and then if you try to flip it up,
45:56.995 --> 46:04.040
[SPEAKER_02]: and put an extra DB or two out of the denier compromised in the run game.
46:04.060 --> 46:14.868
[SPEAKER_02]: So I get why they do it, but I don't know that it is as effective when you are down, you know, two or three scores.
46:16.229 --> 46:18.491
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it was, it was a good showing.
46:18.911 --> 46:23.114
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm all the stats of great on the secondary, but of all the
46:25.842 --> 46:36.555
[SPEAKER_02]: Shades of the game, or rooms on the team, that's still probably the one that I am the least comfortable with right now is the second area.
46:37.088 --> 46:40.409
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'll also when the Rams put the three tight ends out there.
46:40.869 --> 46:50.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even see what the nine or defensive package was, but I imagine it'll just allow them to keep more linebackers on the field, which is there probably their best position.
46:53.693 --> 46:55.533
[SPEAKER_01]: So that that is a plus of them.
46:55.553 --> 46:58.454
[SPEAKER_01]: So the reason why I ask you that question is because
47:00.034 --> 47:01.075
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what's going to happen.
47:01.976 --> 47:09.601
[SPEAKER_01]: You know this 49er fan base, at least on social media, you had made a joke about it when we got online.
47:11.402 --> 47:16.166
[SPEAKER_01]: For the interference, we'd be booking their, you know, super bowl trips off a game one.
47:17.086 --> 47:26.693
[SPEAKER_01]: And as we know, the NFL is such a heartbreaking league sometimes because all it takes is one or two players of your best players to get hurt in your season.
47:26.733 --> 47:27.714
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of down the drain.
47:29.035 --> 47:37.320
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think what this win does is it just creates an advantage.
47:37.440 --> 47:38.801
[SPEAKER_01]: It worked.
47:38.941 --> 47:42.643
[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers are going to be in one of the hardest divisions.
47:43.804 --> 47:48.267
[SPEAKER_01]: We all believe three teams are going to make the playoffs from this one division.
47:49.286 --> 48:05.062
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's going to be a race between these three teams for positioning and this win gives you a solid footing to start the season now would have been better if Drake may or as a cousin south calls them Drake may be
48:06.143 --> 48:13.232
[SPEAKER_01]: if he would have made some plays yesterday and we could have been staring at a, you know, Seattle at Owen one did not happen because they're good.
48:14.813 --> 48:19.980
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do think that this even even in a game one, I think this win.
48:21.381 --> 48:26.325
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks, it will look important if the 49ers take care of business in these next two games.
48:26.405 --> 48:37.875
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll look like, oh, that's why that game was so important to win, because 3 and 0 is going to be better than 2 and 1 or 1 and 2, and you're just out of the gate at a nice head start.
48:37.915 --> 48:41.838
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's why this game is important, but you know,
48:42.479 --> 48:43.600
[SPEAKER_01]: I know neither offense to him.
48:43.880 --> 48:47.745
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy for everybody who was jazz because I was jazzed about this game.
48:47.885 --> 48:53.693
[SPEAKER_01]: I was so happy of how it played out when the ram scored that first touchdown.
48:54.614 --> 49:00.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a little worried and then I was like, you know what, I made that prediction.
49:01.382 --> 49:10.255
[SPEAKER_01]: that Brock was going to be a more mature version of himself and he's going to be, you know, somebody who's they're just going to be able to follow.
49:10.295 --> 49:13.460
[SPEAKER_01]: And after that pick he played almost flawlessly.
49:13.500 --> 49:15.583
[SPEAKER_01]: So so I was glad to see that.
49:16.624 --> 49:20.167
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so next week, there's the game against Miami.
49:20.287 --> 49:28.934
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we'll have to record a little bit later if that's okay with you because Sunday, Sunday, late afternoon, early evenings, a little bit tied up for me at the moment.
49:29.554 --> 49:33.557
[SPEAKER_01]: So when we do this again on our, we want winners post game.
49:33.778 --> 49:35.379
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to do it later.
49:35.419 --> 49:38.241
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'll set it up on on YouTube.
49:38.261 --> 49:40.803
[SPEAKER_01]: So people will know exactly when we plan to go live.
49:42.264 --> 50:07.016
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, man, this is a good week one and very impressive showing for the team and just happy for the fan base who after, you know, last year that they were good, but I think we all knew in the back of our mind like they needed certain people to be on that field for for them for for us to believe that they could go all the way and they were just missing too many of their best players.
50:07.856 --> 50:09.317
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is that's going to be a challenge.
50:09.337 --> 50:17.963
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be the challenge is to keep those guys healthy because if healthy the Niners have a really, really good chance to go far, I think.
50:18.953 --> 50:40.686
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, we, the place that I kind of saw some softness as well, especially when core and Williams that I go on, it's in the run defense and that's one place, but we, we've got expectations that Michael Williams will be back and that is a place where he definitely
50:42.867 --> 50:44.348
[SPEAKER_02]: will help.
50:45.108 --> 50:53.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Either on the outside, I know a Georgia, I don't know the NFL is different, but he played inside as we could kick in inside as well.
50:54.072 --> 50:59.314
[SPEAKER_02]: If that happens to be a weakness, I didn't even notice who they activated.
50:59.354 --> 51:01.715
[SPEAKER_02]: They were talking about you a whole or Kevin Gibbons.
51:02.315 --> 51:09.058
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't even know, I don't even know who they did, but having more depth there will
51:12.182 --> 51:15.923
[SPEAKER_02]: We should get him back at some point, and that would be a great thing.
51:15.943 --> 51:24.825
[SPEAKER_02]: Wouldn't that be great to 49ers actually have players coming back, rather than just going to the VR?
51:25.345 --> 51:28.146
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's a very good start.
51:28.406 --> 51:31.047
[SPEAKER_02]: And like you said, man, we have a potential.
51:31.852 --> 51:45.976
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you don't count chickens, but um, three and oh, with two wins in the division would be a great place to start, um, going into Denver, I would feel better about that.
51:46.716 --> 51:47.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
51:48.856 --> 51:52.977
[SPEAKER_02]: And by the way, you guys Super Bowl was in LA, so it would be another home game.
51:53.358 --> 51:56.138
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be awesome.
51:57.439 --> 51:58.519
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, shout outs.
51:59.165 --> 52:11.499
