00:10.122 --> 00:14.715
[SPEAKER_01]: Rod, you'll never know how I watched this 49er's game last night.
00:16.163 --> 00:19.187
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm on vacation.
00:19.607 --> 00:30.900
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in Arizona hanging out with, well, on the drive to Arizona to hang out with my family and Arizona's one hour ahead of us in the Bay Area.
00:31.581 --> 00:42.053
[SPEAKER_01]: So as it turns to about 636-45, I asked my wife to take the wheel and we still got about two hours left on the drive.
00:42.708 --> 00:56.170
[SPEAKER_01]: and I have my phone and I'm battling a cell signal ESPN's app and I'm trying to like watch it and not get disconnected and then get back.
00:56.370 --> 01:00.417
[SPEAKER_01]: And so imagine watching a full football game on your phone.
01:00.497 --> 01:01.478
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how I watched it.
01:02.180 --> 01:09.812
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was, it was a as, as narrowly of an experience it was to watch
01:09.927 --> 01:27.615
[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers and Panthers gave me an even earlier experience of a football game, though, you know, I kind of think that that kind of game, at least for the Niners, it was good for them because it just showed you.
01:28.237 --> 01:36.125
[SPEAKER_01]: Now work more talented than the Panthers, but it just showed you how all of these other teams are just dealing with a lot of the same stuff.
01:36.265 --> 01:46.836
[SPEAKER_01]: The injuries, piling up the Panthers lose like four guys within like the first half of the game and the Niners dealing with what they've dealt through the entire season.
01:46.876 --> 01:52.422
[SPEAKER_01]: They're it's like the almost the healthiest that they've been since they lost Fred and Nick.
01:52.402 --> 02:21.463
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, it was it was not a great game, but it was kind of like I was like okay this is the version of the football game that the 49ers can win because all they have to do is score 20 points because price young was not going to score 20 points even with that bad 49ers defense so I was kind of happy that it was a bit of like a struggle of a game and you know in some instances it resembled you know very early season football like I just couldn't imagine how off
02:21.443 --> 02:46.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Bryce Young and his receivers were Through out like there were moments where I was like, okay This was where the Niners, you know, they're kind of playing that style of football Where they just let these teams hang out, and this is where the pants are they're gonna make their imprint Nope, Bryce Young rolled up the left throw the throw to Tent McMillan and McMillan's like five yards away from where the football goes like it was it was kind of I was very surprised about that
02:46.773 --> 02:51.639
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, just happy that the Niners were able to play that Panthers offense.
02:53.481 --> 03:02.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was one of my notes was, is this just if the Panthers are bad or as a defense playing well?
03:03.674 --> 03:15.548
[SPEAKER_00]: And I fell more in line with the fact that it was shocking to see this team has a winning record.
03:15.967 --> 03:22.898
[SPEAKER_00]: And they just, they're having problems just, you know, executing basic plays.
03:23.199 --> 03:29.630
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just, it was really, it was for, it was a tough watch.
03:30.030 --> 03:31.072
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a tough watch.
03:31.132 --> 03:33.276
[SPEAKER_00]: And but that, that's the Panthers though.
03:33.356 --> 03:35.359
[SPEAKER_00]: You with this is a team that will,
03:36.250 --> 04:03.490
[SPEAKER_00]: be you know a beat the pandemic beat the bills but then you know they'll lose to the saints I mean so that's just you know kind of where they are in there you know level of development but yeah it's a it was definitely a good win for us and you know we I guess we'll talk about Brock at some point it was you know I mean you're low Brock you got to call him by
04:04.060 --> 04:13.733
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and, you know, the one thing I'll say we talked about Yolo Brock before is that, you know, three picks in, I had no
04:14.219 --> 04:18.785
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no belief that Brock was going to get conservative and stop throwing the ball.
04:19.206 --> 04:25.455
[SPEAKER_01]: So not only that, you had no belief as did I that Mac Jones was going to play.
04:25.475 --> 04:27.758
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, no, Mac is not coming into this game.
04:27.798 --> 04:35.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Brock will have to throw a couple of pick sixes in there for Mac to come into this game.
04:35.349 --> 04:42.859
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, you know, there are there were things in that game where you saw why Brock was in there instead of Mac.
04:42.839 --> 04:50.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, it was, you know, you, you, you've been calling for Yolo Brock and Yolo Brock is like, I'm here guys.
04:50.287 --> 04:50.688
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here.
04:50.728 --> 04:54.692
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kyle pretty much said the same thing is it.
04:54.732 --> 04:57.575
[SPEAKER_00]: No, that was never a consideration.
04:57.996 --> 05:01.780
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's, you know, you get what you get.
05:02.060 --> 05:05.404
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll have rock foot the good and the bad and I can say that we're a lot.
05:05.738 --> 05:13.235
[SPEAKER_00]: of times where you saw his mobility, you know, he was able to extend plays and he was just off.
05:13.355 --> 05:18.467
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that was, you know, the two interceptions were really just, you know, bad ball placement.
05:18.567 --> 05:23.157
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the third one was just a good play, but yeah, he just didn't have a great game.
05:24.841 --> 05:41.280
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, before we even really dig into the game, we have to talk about this report by Diana Rusini and Michael Silver, which I think was on last week, like on Friday, maybe or maybe even whatever the 21st was.
05:41.260 --> 05:45.026
[SPEAKER_01]: This not that I like I would say that we have been kind of on top of this one in a way in that, you know, lots of 49er fans were like, you could come back.
05:45.086 --> 05:56.485
[SPEAKER_01]: I used to come back and we were like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're like, we're
05:56.465 --> 06:03.631
[SPEAKER_01]: We hope that you get coming back, like this is not, you know, in the perfect world, yeah, I get comes back.
06:03.711 --> 06:12.399
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, they're depending on how you wanted to look at this season, there's also a way that he wasn't going to come back.
06:12.819 --> 06:25.510
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I will say I didn't expect it to be because of the prior frustrations that the 49ers and I, you could have had with each other.
06:25.490 --> 06:32.441
[SPEAKER_01]: It said, uh, it now appears that you can the 49ers are headed for a stunning divorce.
06:33.582 --> 06:46.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I don't, there hasn't been a lot of information about which meetings he didn't attend and what participation he wasn't involved in and team activities, X, Y, and Z.
06:47.023 --> 06:51.750
[SPEAKER_01]: But it sounds like when the
06:51.730 --> 06:55.453
[SPEAKER_01]: we all remember that hold in and all the craziness going on.
06:56.234 --> 07:14.011
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like there were things written in that contract and maybe this is the evil genius of Parag Marate, that just didn't happen, which allowed the 49ers to void his guarantees for the upcoming season.
07:15.032 --> 07:19.476
[SPEAKER_01]: And on the flip side,
07:19.979 --> 07:26.713
[SPEAKER_01]: like really getting what he wants, but he did not fight this with the player's association.
07:27.755 --> 07:34.570
[SPEAKER_01]: So it looks like we're headed for a divorce this off season where he's just going to be able to go wherever he wants to go.
07:34.590 --> 07:38.157
[SPEAKER_01]: The Niners will save some money.
07:38.137 --> 07:58.339
[SPEAKER_01]: but they will have a pretty bad dead cap hit I think and and and we'll you know we'll have the Brandon I youke whole thing behind us and we'll have to go find a number a new number one ride receiver next year yeah and for those who are new here
07:58.792 --> 08:14.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Just so you know, whenever you see a Michael silver by line, that's coming directly from the desk at your just know that so he is the mouthpiece of the San Francisco 49ers bomb.
08:14.249 --> 08:15.730
[SPEAKER_00]: front office management.
08:16.231 --> 08:43.277
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is this and you can tell just by the reporting that that's what this is because it was was was bizarre even more but made in even more a bizarre story even more bizarre is when the head coach then comes out and refutes the claims that he missed meetings and you know basically says that you know
08:43.628 --> 09:09.028
[SPEAKER_00]: guys on IR, they're on a different deal, you know, so there is no real which is, which is stunning to say, well, but it's not if you've been here, there's clearly a divide between the business side and the football side in this organization, which is the history of like the last 15 years of of this team, right?
09:09.312 --> 09:23.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so once Harbaugh once Harbaugh came on, there has been this struggle with personnel and with the way that the cap works and what the Niners are willing to do monetarily.
09:23.413 --> 09:28.401
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I was saying about the evil genius of Parag because
09:28.702 --> 09:41.004
[SPEAKER_01]: If they set this contract up, knowing historically, maybe what IU was not interested in doing, then maybe it was set up to work this way.
09:41.465 --> 09:52.144
[SPEAKER_01]: But one of those like IU, you better not cross this line or else, and him just not blinking and being like,
09:52.124 --> 09:52.685
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm good.
09:52.926 --> 09:55.050
[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys want to avoid this, I'm good.
09:55.390 --> 09:57.635
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that whole staring contest thing.
09:58.035 --> 10:04.468
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, the, we've talked about Prague and, you know, we're very pro player on this show.
10:05.489 --> 10:14.166
[SPEAKER_01]: Not that, you know, not that I, I don't understand why things like this happen and, and I'm only blaming ownership.
10:14.146 --> 10:23.335
[SPEAKER_01]: IU, his stand-in, had a lot of theatrics that didn't necessarily make the 40, even the 49ers coaching staff.
10:23.355 --> 10:35.027
[SPEAKER_01]: The guys who were sticking up for him, John Lynch and Kyle Shanhand, didn't make them necessarily happy to see the high jinx that IU was doing last year, but I'm sure they understood why he was doing it.
10:35.867 --> 10:40.592
[SPEAKER_01]: And then for it to happen this way, it just all feels like
10:40.572 --> 10:49.405
[SPEAKER_01]: If it was going to eventually happen this way, ship this brother off to Pittsburgh, like you were going to do so last year before the season started.
10:49.445 --> 10:57.217
[SPEAKER_01]: Like why do we waste a whole two years just to see who's going to blink first?
10:57.437 --> 11:00.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it turns out nobody blinks and we move on.
11:00.402 --> 11:04.508
[SPEAKER_01]: And we lose two years of, you know, this just this nonsensical story.
11:04.528 --> 11:05.630
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my frustration.
11:05.750 --> 11:07.052
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really care.
11:07.252 --> 11:07.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
11:07.913 --> 11:08.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
11:08.513 --> 11:11.556
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is the frustration.
11:11.576 --> 11:17.663
[SPEAKER_00]: And in that we, you know, his agent has played this masterfully.
11:17.683 --> 11:28.854
[SPEAKER_00]: He, you know, for those who don't remember us recap, he went from being under contract to having several trade offers and contracts.
11:28.874 --> 11:31.437
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so basically he had a
11:31.906 --> 11:34.292
[SPEAKER_00]: a sort of quasi-fri agency.
11:34.332 --> 11:45.940
[SPEAKER_00]: And then what the, what ends up happening is the Niners aren't, they aren't jazzed about the compensation that they would get from either Pittsburgh or the Pats.
11:46.401 --> 11:48.987
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there were some things with the Pats, I guess he wasn't.
11:49.557 --> 11:52.381
[SPEAKER_00]: he wasn't so sold on their whole quarterback situation.
11:52.722 --> 12:05.139
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can imagine if he could turn back, imagine if he could go back in history and he didn't realize that he didn't realize that we're going to draft great may in the next year.
12:05.159 --> 12:09.886
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that'll be an interesting player if he hits free agency.
12:10.267 --> 12:18.298
[SPEAKER_00]: But the thought, you know, was that they just didn't, they weren't jazzed about the compensation that they were going to get.
12:18.278 --> 12:23.645
[SPEAKER_00]: And then now it looks like they are going to get nothing for him.
12:23.705 --> 12:33.078
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I see all the the the jet pundits trying to say that, you know, they they realize all this cap space.
12:33.158 --> 12:46.176
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess, but that's just for any going thing they're going to get really is they don't end up paying the guarantee for next year.
12:47.067 --> 12:59.997
[SPEAKER_00]: basically to rehab, and then, you know, I was listening to David Samson yesterday, and he was talking about the only thing that they could be talking about in terms of meetings and stuff is.
13:00.854 --> 13:11.889
[SPEAKER_00]: they might have put language in the contract having to do with his rehab, but the thing about that is, if he wanted to fight that grievance, that's already been adjudicated.
13:12.150 --> 13:29.173
[SPEAKER_00]: The team really does not have any say in how you rehab, like for example, the whole Christian Wilkins thing with the Raiders that all blow down to, they wanted him to have surgery and he
13:29.913 --> 13:33.096
[SPEAKER_00]: But the team doesn't control that.
13:33.156 --> 13:37.821
[SPEAKER_00]: They can't, they don't have any say over your medical care.
13:38.041 --> 13:48.171
[SPEAKER_00]: They can make recommendations, but ultimately, as long as you have a doctor and have a care plan, the team, they can be pissed off about it.
13:48.211 --> 13:52.175
[SPEAKER_00]: But they can't tell you how to rehab your injury.
13:52.195 --> 13:59.802
[SPEAKER_00]: So if that is the crux of their argument, that's a grievance that he would win.
14:00.322 --> 14:19.461
[SPEAKER_00]: What it seems like to me, like you said earlier, he's willing to pay $24,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
14:20.133 --> 14:31.748
[SPEAKER_00]: to get to one unrestricted free agency, they would do just that because I, you know, I have number one, although he has not been clear, I have no reason to believe that he's not healthy.
14:32.128 --> 14:45.685
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and you can listen to Kyle Shanahan, he seems to believe that he could still play this season, which doesn't, it doesn't make any sense to me if he doesn't have any guaranteed money left.
14:46.036 --> 14:46.917
[SPEAKER_00]: on this deal.
14:47.599 --> 14:51.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Why on earth, he would ever step up, step foot on the field.
14:53.228 --> 14:59.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, this, I, I just don't, I don't see that happening.
14:59.258 --> 15:07.572
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, stranger, this, this whole thing is so bizarre that at this point, nothing was surprised me anymore.
15:09.003 --> 15:17.255
[SPEAKER_01]: He had, you know, you see the, how the team, you know, everyone's looking for wider severs.
15:17.335 --> 15:33.037
[SPEAKER_01]: So like you said, to be able to just be free to sign and get a, maybe even a better deal than the one that the Niners sign him to is going to be in his interest in his best interest, maybe.
15:34.118 --> 15:37.423
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, here's why I don't really,
15:38.534 --> 15:53.348
[SPEAKER_01]: necessarily care too much when the players kind of rebel or, you know, maybe they find some disfavor with the system is because of scenarios, it's like this.
15:53.668 --> 16:01.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm not saying Prog Morate specifically set up this deal so that they could void next year.
16:01.236 --> 16:05.740
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that they did it with that in mind, but it's pretty clear that
16:06.074 --> 16:16.388
[SPEAKER_01]: They had some idea that, you know, there's going to be an out at some point if we wanted to get out and if there was more disagreements, we'll be able to get out of this.
16:16.570 --> 16:39.979
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just the end of the way that the NFL salary cap works, the way that you can create all of this this bonus money that people look at and and go oh look 120 million and then when you break down what the contract actually is how many escalators and bonuses you have to actually hit to get close to that number like the Colin Kaepernick contract was like the number one.
16:39.959 --> 16:51.353
[SPEAKER_01]: contract where you look at it and you go, okay, this is a fake contract actually like there's no way he gets to any of this stuff and it's just for the headlines so.
16:51.805 --> 16:55.372
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I know a lot of people are probably mad at B.A.
16:55.392 --> 17:01.043
[SPEAKER_01]: a lot of people should rightfully so be mad at the way the 49ers handled this, you know, both are at fault, of course.
17:01.764 --> 17:04.850
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's messy on both sides.
17:05.231 --> 17:08.257
[SPEAKER_01]: It really, I'm not going to say B.A.
17:08.437 --> 17:09.359
[SPEAKER_01]: is a bad person.
17:09.379 --> 17:12.565
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it is fault or like there's so much.
17:12.545 --> 17:23.312
[SPEAKER_01]: drama involved in scenarios like this that it's, you know, it's both sides acting kind of like children and not coming to solutions on stuff.
17:23.352 --> 17:27.904
[SPEAKER_01]: And when that happens, the 49ers historically have shown.
17:28.441 --> 17:32.645
[SPEAKER_01]: The ownership side of this does not handle that well.
17:33.145 --> 17:39.310
[SPEAKER_01]: They will show their ass as more than the players will.
17:39.851 --> 17:43.174
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've seen it with Jed York and Trent Balky and Jim Harba.
17:43.614 --> 17:48.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's what this kind of stuff reminds me of just going all the way back to those years.
17:49.419 --> 17:55.604
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like, yeah, we have all of that evidence that this is not just on a player or on a coach.
17:55.704 --> 17:57.486
[SPEAKER_01]: It is on the entire organization.
17:58.141 --> 18:13.816
[SPEAKER_00]: And most times in that's why I have applauded the situation honestly is because most times in situations like this and four years and years historically, it's the players that get screwed in these situations.
18:14.237 --> 18:21.123
[SPEAKER_00]: So the fact that he was able to nick them for $15 million is, you know, just not going to miss it.
18:21.684 --> 18:24.607
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, they get this cap space.
18:24.627 --> 18:28.030
[SPEAKER_00]: If that's how they want to spin it
18:28.398 --> 18:37.752
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great, you know, and and willfully, you know, and the argument has been that I've been having on the internet is that nobody's going to be going to make.
18:37.993 --> 18:41.138
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be lucky if he makes $10 million next year.
18:41.198 --> 18:46.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, man, with your, with your saying, and I can see that, you know, he's coming off a major injury.
18:46.887 --> 18:54.338
[SPEAKER_00]: But what you are postulating is that there are 31 completely rational actors.
18:54.503 --> 18:56.726
[SPEAKER_00]: out there running football teams.
18:57.067 --> 19:09.604
[SPEAKER_00]: And I can tell you right now that we're on that right now in Las Vegas, Mark Davis will give him a nine figure contract tomorrow if he could.
19:09.824 --> 19:12.268
[SPEAKER_00]: So again, there are places in this league.
19:12.288 --> 19:22.722
[SPEAKER_00]: Tennessee is another place that if they can get their hands on a number one ride receiver and I have to pay anything for it and use their
19:23.528 --> 19:34.956
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I get that, you know, the fans like to side with the owners and these things which is because are to me and really want him to lose in this situation.
19:35.662 --> 19:49.299
[SPEAKER_00]: history just tells me that that's not the case because what they are not is going to be in lockstep with Jed York and trying to ensure that Brad and I you is the loser in this deal.
19:49.399 --> 20:00.653
[SPEAKER_00]: If they believe that they can improve their situation by giving him this money, they are going to they all are going to act in their best interests every time.
20:00.733 --> 20:02.175
[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought that
20:02.375 --> 20:11.862
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, you know, and the also the other thing is that his agent doesn't know exactly what let me know that he's healthy.
20:12.432 --> 20:32.483
[SPEAKER_00]: is that they did not, if he's not healthy, then you fight like hell to get that $27 million because that might be the last money you're able to get, but the fact that they aren't even going to file a grievance on this lets me know and also agents know the market and it's not like,
20:33.003 --> 20:55.534
[SPEAKER_00]: This guy seems too sharp to be going out here in the market blind and not knowing that there are other teams out here that would be interested in a 27 year old wide receiver in this market so I can like we already know they've had conversations with Pittsburgh they've already had conversations with.
20:56.206 --> 21:09.020
[SPEAKER_00]: The Patriots may be not this year, but he has, I'm sure his agent has a good sense of where the teams are that need why receivers and knows that he's going out into the market.
21:09.040 --> 21:11.143
[SPEAKER_00]: He would be your top free agent.
21:11.203 --> 21:13.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Pickens is not leaving Dallas.
21:13.225 --> 21:15.468
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to franchise him for sure.
21:16.128 --> 21:20.273
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Brandon, are you good all of a sudden be the top white receiver?
21:20.793 --> 21:23.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, free agent on the market.
21:23.759 --> 21:27.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and that's got to be the, this got to be pretty lucrative.
21:27.568 --> 21:28.229
[SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine.
21:30.374 --> 21:32.018
[SPEAKER_01]: I use the word evil genius.
21:33.441 --> 21:38.211
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the evil genius of the NFL, by the way, because what you just said,
21:39.254 --> 21:46.683
[SPEAKER_01]: which teams kind of believe that they are possibly a player away.
21:46.803 --> 21:55.334
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we're not just talking about a player away from being like a Super Bowl container, but just the player away from maybe being in the playoffs.
21:55.915 --> 22:00.300
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know even in losing?
22:01.242 --> 22:06.569
[SPEAKER_01]: The panthers are still out of the, you know, there's seven teams that make the playoffs.
22:07.510 --> 22:11.255
[SPEAKER_01]: The panthers are still number nine, even after losing to us.
22:12.536 --> 22:14.859
[SPEAKER_01]: The Cowboys are number 10.
22:14.919 --> 22:17.643
[SPEAKER_01]: The Falcons are number 11.
22:18.324 --> 22:20.967
[SPEAKER_01]: These are some average football teams.
22:21.007 --> 22:29.798
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw the Falcons, you know, they have some good players, but, you know, you're just trying to get into that top seven on the other side.
22:29.947 --> 22:35.154
[SPEAKER_01]: Stealer 65, Texan 65, Dolphins, 4 and 7 are number 11.
22:35.715 --> 22:44.868
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a middle ground in the league who probably, you know, were a wide receiver away from being in the tournament.
22:45.328 --> 22:49.975
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's that's where someone like BA, he sees that his agent sees that.
22:50.616 --> 22:53.760
[SPEAKER_01]: And if 14 teams make the playoffs,
22:54.263 --> 23:04.684
[SPEAKER_01]: we as smart fans know, out of those 14 teams, you know, who really has a chance to win the Super Bowl like three or four, but these, these owners don't look at it that way.
23:04.704 --> 23:06.568
[SPEAKER_01]: They look at it as
23:07.072 --> 23:09.977
[SPEAKER_01]: can we get an extra home game in the playoffs?
23:10.458 --> 23:15.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Can we sell this idea that we're competing for merch?
23:15.767 --> 23:20.836
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes your season tickets more exciting, like just being competitive, like all those things matter.
23:21.357 --> 23:27.127
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that is the evil genius of the NFL, just having so many teams think that they still have a shot.
23:27.568 --> 23:29.772
[SPEAKER_01]: And like the 9 or 7th,
23:29.903 --> 23:30.564
[SPEAKER_01]: eight and four.
23:31.465 --> 23:35.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And you and I are like, yeah, they're kind of one and done in the playoffs, big whip.
23:35.471 --> 23:41.218
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's because we've seen five Super Bowl like some of these other teams have not seen that.
23:41.859 --> 23:42.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
23:42.100 --> 23:43.842
[SPEAKER_00]: We know where to go for what team looks like.
23:43.862 --> 23:47.908
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is date, you know, we just we can go back two years.
23:47.988 --> 23:56.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this team is nowhere near as good as the 2023 team, but coming off of a six win season,
23:57.562 --> 24:00.285
[SPEAKER_00]: 10 11 wins and a playoff bird.
24:00.305 --> 24:01.867
[SPEAKER_00]: That is progress.
24:02.027 --> 24:04.871
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm again, I we tend to be more rational.
24:05.191 --> 24:06.793
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think this is a Super Bowl team.
24:06.813 --> 24:09.417
[SPEAKER_00]: This team is not going to be in Santa Clara and February.
24:09.697 --> 24:17.326
[SPEAKER_00]: But for me, that is no will be though, jet jet will be there for rock and jet will be in their box.
24:18.448 --> 24:19.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely will be there.
24:20.090 --> 24:22.793
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, I I see this.
24:23.617 --> 24:24.980
[SPEAKER_00]: in a more long term way.
24:25.040 --> 24:26.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just looking for progress.
24:26.562 --> 24:33.115
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't every every season doesn't have to be a super low win for it to be successful in my opinion.
24:33.435 --> 24:39.426
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's funny that you mentioned all those teams that convince yourself that they are a BA away from the playoffs.
24:39.446 --> 24:45.658
[SPEAKER_00]: But then you have at the top end, you could you look at like for sure Buffalo.
24:46.111 --> 24:49.256
[SPEAKER_00]: could see if they had B.A.
24:49.657 --> 25:08.068
[SPEAKER_00]: they are a wide receiver away from maybe winning multiple superboats because that is there well their defense is a problem too but they just Josh Allen just really doesn't have anybody to throw the ball to and again
25:08.521 --> 25:22.440
[SPEAKER_00]: Drake made again, he's relying on, you know, 32-year-old stiff on digs as a, he is his best target, which is unsustainable.
25:22.560 --> 25:28.368
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be not sure if variable would love having a 27-year-old wide receiver once.
25:28.388 --> 25:31.792
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, the notion that he's not going to have a market is crazy.
25:32.093 --> 25:37.380
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, the Niners are doing, I guess they convince themselves they're doing just fine.
25:37.867 --> 25:38.708
[SPEAKER_00]: without him.
25:39.069 --> 25:48.864
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how sustainable that is and they would definitely need to be about replacing that production.
25:49.585 --> 25:55.975
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, this has been a bizarre bizarre week and it was it was great to see.
25:56.035 --> 26:04.768
[SPEAKER_00]: But like you say, look at the pictures, they would have been in first place
26:05.221 --> 26:07.644
[SPEAKER_00]: it's really bizarre and crazy.
26:08.025 --> 26:14.253
[SPEAKER_00]: The cowboys, like you mentioned them, if they went out, and they probably won't, obviously.
26:14.633 --> 26:30.874
[SPEAKER_00]: But, I mean, the fact that, you know, is bad in that season started out for them, that we're even talking about them and playoffs in the same sentence, is it just goes to show you, like you said, that the league, the parody, that the league,
26:31.276 --> 26:36.274
[SPEAKER_00]: has seemingly been striving towards is here.
26:36.294 --> 26:38.923
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it is really here.
26:39.562 --> 26:47.109
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's talk about this game, as I said, I'm actually in Arizona, so I don't have my normal setup.
26:47.670 --> 26:48.991
[SPEAKER_01]: It is the holiday week.
26:49.371 --> 26:55.917
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll do this a little shorter than the normal N plus, you know, this game was, it was just a game.
26:55.937 --> 26:59.401
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not a whole lot coming out of it, at least that I've seen so far.
27:00.401 --> 27:07.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess the big topic as we mentioned, Brock throwing three picks, I was actually,
27:08.705 --> 27:21.090
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, three picks on three consecutive drives is a, is kind of a thing, like by that third interception, somebody needed to take him and go, okay, dude, like, let's pull back a little bit, just a little bit.
27:21.110 --> 27:24.857
[SPEAKER_01]: But like those first two interception, especially the one to pretty Ricky.
27:25.478 --> 27:26.319
[SPEAKER_01]: in the end zone.
27:27.100 --> 27:31.006
[SPEAKER_01]: I really liked that idea because he's trying to hit a home run.
27:31.046 --> 27:38.237
[SPEAKER_01]: And what we've seen from the 49ers offense this year is they were a chunk offense.
27:38.257 --> 27:40.921
[SPEAKER_01]: They were moving the ball down the field and small chunks.
27:41.362 --> 27:46.710
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Mac was very consistent and he was getting rid of the ball early.
27:47.399 --> 28:02.193
[SPEAKER_01]: but we need Brock to be more like this if the 49ers have any chance to do anything in the playoffs because the defense, now the defense only gave up nine points here to a very bad Carolina Panthers offense.
28:02.213 --> 28:05.340
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I'm I'm actually so surprised.
28:05.320 --> 28:10.407
[SPEAKER_01]: I just figured Caroline and was going to try and run it down our throats and they just didn't.
28:10.667 --> 28:18.758
[SPEAKER_01]: They really didn't, they tried to get Bryce out and moving and, you know, running himself.
28:18.838 --> 28:22.923
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was so surprised about that, but we know that the defense is not good.
28:23.364 --> 28:30.433
[SPEAKER_01]: The way that they're going to be able to win some games, especially here down the stretch, is by the offense just being
28:31.527 --> 28:33.369
[SPEAKER_01]: just clicking on all cylinders.
28:33.870 --> 28:36.353
[SPEAKER_01]: And you could also see the way that some of these plays were called.
28:37.495 --> 28:40.158
[SPEAKER_01]: No one is happier that Brock is back than Shanahan.
28:41.219 --> 28:56.179
[SPEAKER_01]: The creativity and some of these formations and all the movement before the, before the, the play calling line of scrimmage like Kyle is like, oh man, my, you know, my, my toy is back here.
28:56.239 --> 29:01.045
[SPEAKER_01]: I get to do all of the stuff that I couldn't do with the other QB.
29:02.155 --> 29:09.686
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind him getting some of this stuff out of the way, because he is going to have to hit some of these big plays.
29:09.786 --> 29:13.832
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's unfortunate that Ricky has come back and just kind of been a decoy for two games.
29:14.753 --> 29:17.878
[SPEAKER_01]: You can tell like they have just not been able to shake him loose.
29:19.300 --> 29:22.725
[SPEAKER_01]: You have Kittle, which we've been begging for, right?
29:22.765 --> 29:25.348
[SPEAKER_01]: The ability for Kittle to get out and make plays.
29:25.669 --> 29:32.078
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you have CMC, CMC leads the NFL
29:33.374 --> 30:02.790
[SPEAKER_01]: and running back touches like what this is incredible like this dude is just you know we were thinking like last year we're like oh man are we on the other side of CMC is is this going to be an issue you know with this the tendonitis and his achilles and everything but he's come back and you know that they can't block for him like they used to some of that
30:02.770 --> 30:04.694
[SPEAKER_01]: is able to hit some of these big plays.
30:05.255 --> 30:08.361
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I think the running game opens up a little bit more.
30:08.381 --> 30:25.234
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is what they need Brock to be able to hit on this big stuff if they're going to actually play some competitive and strong football late in the season, because they're going to get scored on and Max,
30:25.754 --> 30:27.578
[SPEAKER_01]: you know 10 yards here 10 yards here.
30:28.079 --> 30:33.871
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's throw the ball down the field and take seven minutes for every every drive and then possibly kick a field goal.
30:33.891 --> 30:38.481
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that is that was solid for what they needed while Brock was away.
30:39.403 --> 30:45.957
[SPEAKER_01]: And also that was before Bosa and Warner were completely off the team like, but that was what they got injured too.
30:46.105 --> 30:49.350
[SPEAKER_01]: with the way the team currently works on the defense.
30:49.370 --> 30:51.713
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they do need Yolo Brock a little bit.
30:51.753 --> 30:54.257
[SPEAKER_01]: He just needs to chemistry wise.
30:54.597 --> 30:55.539
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, you can tell.
30:55.599 --> 30:57.422
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just so excited to be out there.
30:58.002 --> 30:59.224
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's letting it fly.
30:59.244 --> 31:05.273
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he, I think we'll see a much better Brock in these next couple of weeks.
31:05.293 --> 31:07.096
[SPEAKER_01]: And he and Shannon will be more in sync.
31:07.657 --> 31:09.379
[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully,
31:09.359 --> 31:24.651
[SPEAKER_01]: you know pretty ricky will will uh be able to take advantage of some stuff we haven't heard anything about whether or not he's slow right now or he's bought but he's played two games in a row so I'm just gonna assume that you know they're they're
31:24.631 --> 31:26.996
[SPEAKER_01]: They're taking him out of the building.
31:27.016 --> 31:29.823
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so that that so I'm fine with Brock.
31:30.204 --> 31:32.509
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to see three interceptions in a game like this.
31:32.649 --> 31:41.509
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't hurt them, but I like seeing what they can possibly do with him being able to take shots because they're going to need it.
31:42.367 --> 31:45.093
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, when you look at the all 22, they were there.
31:45.494 --> 31:52.989
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, some of you could see on the TV, the shorter options were there on both the interceptions.
31:53.851 --> 31:57.719
[SPEAKER_00]: He just decided that he was going to take the shot.
31:58.020 --> 32:00.645
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I, he said, like you said,
32:00.625 --> 32:05.752
[SPEAKER_00]: before and you said previously that that is something that this offense just needs.
32:05.872 --> 32:12.300
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you have to be able to throw these teams out of that too high safety.
32:12.761 --> 32:18.949
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, if you want to get them to the point or run throw them actually throw them into it.
32:18.989 --> 32:25.317
[SPEAKER_00]: So they have to play the too high and they can't just bring that safety down in the box and play the run.
32:25.516 --> 32:33.047
[SPEAKER_00]: you want to put them in coverage and the way you do that is by threatening them down the field.
32:33.227 --> 32:35.750
[SPEAKER_00]: And we just saw Mac wasn't going to do that.
32:35.951 --> 32:37.693
[SPEAKER_00]: He took the safe throws.
32:37.733 --> 32:43.401
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, like you say for your backup quarterback, that is what you want from him.
32:43.461 --> 32:46.225
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want you want him to come in.
32:46.559 --> 32:47.500
[SPEAKER_00]: and many things.
32:47.700 --> 32:52.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not one who believes that game manager is necessarily a pejorative.
32:52.946 --> 32:53.827
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what he did.
32:53.887 --> 32:54.869
[SPEAKER_00]: He did that well.
32:55.129 --> 32:57.692
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not necessarily what you pay Brock for.
32:57.732 --> 33:01.776
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't pay him to come in and just take the check down to take the short pass.
33:02.177 --> 33:06.061
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to go out there and make plays.
33:06.562 --> 33:09.065
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what you get from him.
33:09.245 --> 33:12.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I'm not worried about I've seen enough
33:13.306 --> 33:16.129
[SPEAKER_00]: of Brock to not be worried about his accuracy.
33:16.189 --> 33:24.038
[SPEAKER_00]: He was really an accurate yesterday, but that is not a problem that he has shown in the past.
33:24.098 --> 33:26.621
[SPEAKER_00]: He shown himself to be a very accurate pastor.
33:26.641 --> 33:34.029
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just going to be hadn't chalked it up to still a bit of rust and just a bad day.
33:34.069 --> 33:39.295
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a bad, I am, I am beyond the referendum.
33:39.595 --> 33:42.418
[SPEAKER_00]: Every there's not, it's not a referendum
33:42.668 --> 33:43.689
[SPEAKER_00]: on Brock Perty.
33:43.769 --> 34:09.182
[SPEAKER_00]: I know some of the fan base still don't, you know, and my putting him as a top, what we, we, we, we, we, we, we, but you're the catapult is he a top quarter, but no, but he's he's one, uh, I would say he's one of the top 10 to 12 quarterbacks in the league and you're not going to
34:10.141 --> 34:13.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Top 10 quarterbacks don't fall off a trees.
34:14.066 --> 34:14.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
34:14.186 --> 34:20.214
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's our guy and note no shot no shot at Bryce because I do root for that dude.
34:20.775 --> 34:29.906
[SPEAKER_01]: But just look at like, I'm sure if Bryce was under shanahan, he would be much better than he is because shanahan would figure some things out.
34:29.926 --> 34:32.790
[SPEAKER_01]: But look at that poor dude man, that dude.
34:32.990 --> 34:34.132
[SPEAKER_01]: no confidence.
34:35.314 --> 34:45.230
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't feel like he wasn't feeling where things were happening for positive plays.
34:45.270 --> 34:50.138
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like he's dropping back and his first instinct is like,
34:51.198 --> 34:53.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I might need to get out and run on this thing.
34:53.603 --> 34:55.166
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was just like, I just felt bad for it.
34:55.186 --> 35:07.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Like man, after all these years, you still cannot find whatever the offense is or the instinct or even on some simple throws like that, two point conversions.
35:07.448 --> 35:10.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that play it looks like the back was out in the flat.
35:10.752 --> 35:28.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he saw something that we couldn't see on the TV He didn't choose that and then he throws this like laser beam like down the middle I'm like man a two-point conversion on the one-yard line should not have equated for you having to like Do all of that to try and get like the just I don't know.
35:28.957 --> 35:30.258
[SPEAKER_01]: I was I was so happy.
35:30.278 --> 35:32.241
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, you know what?
35:32.407 --> 35:39.482
[SPEAKER_01]: as much as some of the problems that we have in this organization and in this team and the injury luck and all that.
35:40.104 --> 35:51.208
[SPEAKER_01]: After these last two games, would you rather be an Arizona Cardinals fan or a Carolina Panthers fan like no way, no way, just mess.
35:52.083 --> 35:56.412
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll look ahead to Cleveland because I think the Cleveland game is going to be super duper interesting.
35:57.334 --> 36:06.153
[SPEAKER_01]: But we got to say, Jair Brown, two very timely interceptions that was nice to see.
36:07.395 --> 36:12.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Cleveland Farrell, who was inactive last week, got a nice sack.
36:13.075 --> 36:21.150
[SPEAKER_01]: where he just went right by whoever that left tackle was and grabbed Bryce and just tossed them down.
36:21.191 --> 36:22.653
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was that was awesome.
36:23.295 --> 36:30.308
[SPEAKER_01]: But this defense is going to be like, I don't know if you can call it a bend but don't break.
36:30.710 --> 36:40.981
[SPEAKER_01]: It is probably a little bit worse than that, but when you play Arizona in Carolina two weeks in a row, you're not too worried.
36:41.321 --> 36:50.892
[SPEAKER_01]: Where your worried is when you play some of these better teams that they're going to have to play down the line that we talked about last week.
36:51.412 --> 36:58.860
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'll pull up the schedule again just for the next few games here.
36:59.262 --> 37:13.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Browns this weekend in the Niners have not had great success going into Cleveland of late and it looks like it's going to be supposed to be raining, which is bad for Brock and they just have a really good defense.
37:13.235 --> 37:14.638
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder.
37:14.956 --> 37:20.022
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, can you give the ball to CMC any more than they have been?
37:20.042 --> 37:32.277
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I don't, I think we're just going to see a heavy dose of CMC, Brian Robinson, short passing game, probably very predictable, and they're just going to try and win a low scoring game.
37:32.297 --> 37:33.378
[SPEAKER_01]: That'll be my guess.
37:34.119 --> 37:38.905
[SPEAKER_01]: But then you have the by week, Titans at home.
37:39.593 --> 37:45.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you don't really want to put a W next to anything this late in the season, but this is a game that they should win.
37:46.129 --> 37:51.662
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a game that they should feel very comfortable winning, but then you close the season.
37:52.688 --> 37:55.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Colts, bears, sea hawks.
37:55.691 --> 38:08.286
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is where you hope Brock is fully locked in and you hope that offense is humming by the end of these last three games of season because those are gonna be the most important ones.
38:08.886 --> 38:15.013
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, could they be Cleveland, in Cleveland, they should?
38:15.053 --> 38:16.535
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a guarantee.
38:16.555 --> 38:17.616
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a Romania.
38:18.473 --> 38:23.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he'd do a mania happening cleaveless three are excited.
38:23.667 --> 38:25.612
[SPEAKER_00]: They are excited and Cleveland.
38:26.634 --> 38:30.404
[SPEAKER_01]: Three and eight and I think Troy Ackman may have said it last night.
38:31.086 --> 38:34.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Miles Garrett has more sacks than the entire 49er team.
38:35.551 --> 38:41.701
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think Brock's going to be sitting out there with like five step drops trying to rip it too much.
38:41.861 --> 38:54.382
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to really change up the game plan because that he could wreak terror on the 49ers if put in certain situations.
38:54.422 --> 38:58.909
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm interested to see how Shanahan attacks that defense.
38:59.733 --> 39:07.993
[SPEAKER_00]: Greenie had a prop this morning as it can ask in the question, can Garrett break the record, the sack record this week.
39:08.013 --> 39:15.009
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got 18, the record is 22, and it's week one in a week 13.
39:15.089 --> 39:16.172
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
39:16.895 --> 39:21.583
[SPEAKER_00]: But we do not want him to break any record, we can get this.
39:21.603 --> 39:39.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, the kid, they just get the 49ers break the record and how many screen passes, they throw to Miles Garrett's side after he just beats the, after he's getting, you know, he's going to be, uh, it's going to be Trent, right?
39:39.997 --> 39:42.640
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's going to try to find the kivots.
39:42.660 --> 39:57.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, yeah, so wherever he lines up, you just let's just throw screen passes to that side, because he's going to be so deep in the backfield by the time the balls out, maybe that absolutely.
39:57.920 --> 39:58.321
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:58.781 --> 40:08.434
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, so, you know, that is, that is what the season coming up, you know, this game, then a buy and hopefully,
40:09.275 --> 40:21.130
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, whatever stuff that that they have currently with injuries and stuff you get that by so late in the see I think it's the latest you can actually have the buy in the 49ers out this by so hey man.
40:21.150 --> 40:22.412
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to make it exciting.
40:22.752 --> 40:24.214
[SPEAKER_01]: We got five to go.
40:24.234 --> 40:27.979
[SPEAKER_01]: They're eight and four we went three.
40:27.999 --> 40:30.001
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're in, right.
40:31.623 --> 40:35.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, they're.
40:36.038 --> 40:38.642
[SPEAKER_00]: They're saying, you know, I don't know how the math works.
40:38.702 --> 40:46.295
[SPEAKER_00]: They're saying they're 90% so they're basically in at this point, you know, but that I don't know, I have to work.
40:46.876 --> 40:50.922
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm guessing the math suggests that they're beating the Browns and the Titans 100%.
40:51.604 --> 40:54.088
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to take care of business in those two games.
40:55.089 --> 40:56.612
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you got to win 10.
40:57.373 --> 41:02.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, then you got to if to be 100% sure you got to win one of those, out those last three.
41:03.325 --> 41:21.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, if you get to 11 wins, yeah, you are in 100% and then it's it's it's amazing because the ramies at 9 and 2, they look like world beaters right now.
41:22.597 --> 41:38.395
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the bucks, or not not the bucks, the Seahawks, at 8 and 3, 8 and 3 in the NFC is where the Eagles and the Bears are for first place in their divisions.
41:38.375 --> 41:45.325
[SPEAKER_01]: 8 and 3 in the AFC, you know, that they would be ahead of most of those divisions.
41:45.365 --> 41:53.097
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, the Niners, the pack or the Niners of Seahawks in the Rams, that's iron sharpening iron, man.
41:53.137 --> 41:58.645
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, that those three teams are kind of built to beat each other.
41:59.367 --> 42:05.320
[SPEAKER_01]: And because the NFC West is so tough, they're three of the better teams in the entire conference.
42:05.340 --> 42:15.682
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that that boads well for how well the Niners and the Rams and the Seahawks have just been as as teams over the last several years.
42:15.802 --> 42:16.884
[SPEAKER_01]: They're they're competitive.
42:16.925 --> 42:17.646
[SPEAKER_01]: So.
42:17.626 --> 42:19.911
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that aspect of it now.
42:19.951 --> 42:23.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I want to see the rams go out there and win the Super Bowl?
42:23.699 --> 42:31.896
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not, but uh, really Stafford for MVP is kind of like people are circling that one already.
42:31.956 --> 42:32.698
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, wow
42:32.678 --> 42:38.204
[SPEAKER_01]: How did we get here from Stafford is washed to Stafford for MVP?
42:39.145 --> 42:45.953
[SPEAKER_00]: His back is broken and he's going to the Rams aren't going to pay him is where we were six months ago.
42:45.993 --> 42:49.918
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's an MVP candidate.
42:49.978 --> 42:50.678
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy.
42:52.000 --> 42:52.460
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
42:52.480 --> 42:57.026
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there anything else you wanted to bring up before we land this one?
42:57.967 --> 42:59.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Not at all.
42:59.348 --> 43:01.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad we were able to get it in.
43:02.176 --> 43:02.797
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
43:02.837 --> 43:07.341
[SPEAKER_01]: So next week, Niners and Browns are the early game.
43:08.362 --> 43:10.043
[SPEAKER_01]: So we will try and come back.
43:11.905 --> 43:15.788
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a little a little while after that game is over and go live on this.
43:15.828 --> 43:16.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds good.
43:17.390 --> 43:21.293
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's going to be it for for BSPN for this week.
43:21.333 --> 43:23.675
[SPEAKER_01]: No Golden State hoop.
43:24.396 --> 43:32.183
[SPEAKER_01]: No Thompson
43:32.163 --> 43:32.844
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
43:33.564 --> 43:34.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you to Rod.
43:35.006 --> 43:35.627
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope Rod.
