Tons of 49ers Reactions + Sure Looks Like Purdy Isn't In NFL Top 100 · Guy Football Focus with Guy Haberman

0:00
[SPEAKER_00]: What's up, everybody?
0:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome, guy here.
0:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We are exactly three weeks from the first Sunday, the NFL season as I record this on Sunday afternoon.
0:07
[SPEAKER_00]: To kick your week off in your podcast feed on Mondays.
0:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And I got a lot of my mind from the preseason game.
0:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Other stuff, though, because I, you know, preseason game reactions, twenty four, thirty six hours later.
0:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm back from Vegas.
0:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Got some rest on Saturday night after I got home around ten PM.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: doing some laundry, getting some electrolytes.
0:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The Mojave Desert is no joke.
0:35
[SPEAKER_00]: The Raiders used to practice in Napa, California.
0:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The Napa Marriott, Squeeze and Burger.
0:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Napa, California over at Redwood Middle School.
0:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And now they've got a beautiful facility in the Mojave Desert.
0:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Niners joined practice on Thursday.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it has to be the hottest day.
1:01
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll spend playing football this year, a Legion Stadium, beautiful stadium.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a great vantage point, a bunch of Raiders, a lumber's Raider alumni day.
1:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll say this.
1:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I use it's talking to somebody who's been a lot of time at the Oakland Coliseum for Raider games and walking through the parking lot.
1:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And there is just something about the Raider music.
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: The NFL films music, the Star Wars music, whatever that the March of the Sith throughout, I don't know enough of the Star Wars guy to know, but their plan I'm music and their intro video in the stadium is pretty sweet.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like Charles Woodson and Max Crosby and they, one of them, like their hand, starts to dust away, becomes dust and just a skeleton hand and then it's just like all these old raided.
2:00
[SPEAKER_00]: The video is awesome.
2:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, and this is not taken as sincerely, what the video's missing is Greg Popp is voice.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: like calling like greater highlights.
2:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of crazy.
2:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's too bad that that's too bad.
2:16
[SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, it was a nice time in Vegas.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, here's what I'm thinking about today, especially because for a lot of you, you know, the preseason game of Saturday night, Jake Moody wanted on a walk off.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand.
2:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand why the NFL's digital streams.
2:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always just the home team.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was this way for me, you know, it's I just sound self-serving and it is, but it's not why I'm saying this.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, like Major League Baseball, you could figure out how to, you can watch any both TV broadcasts, both radio broadcasts on the stream.
2:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been like that as long as I've had an MLB ten years more.
3:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But the NFL doesn't give you that flexibility, what to watch.
3:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I don't know, the NFL plus, you know, that's what I'm talking about that part's weird.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, here's what I'm thinking about, to start the week.
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: The NFL, top one, a hundred list,
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: on starting on Monday is going to go from thirty to twenty one.
3:23
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, every year it's a player vote, the top one hundred.
3:26
[SPEAKER_00]: It brought pretty is not on this list.
3:31
[SPEAKER_00]: They've gotten through thirty one.
3:33
[SPEAKER_00]: George Kittle was thirty first.
3:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Brock pretty is not going to be on the NFL one hundred.
3:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's not the BL end all, but, you know, just a reminder that some people want to turn
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: the debate about Brock Perty into some like media conversation, the players
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: are not voting in the top one hundred.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, how good of a cross section of players is it how many players really vote?
4:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is information and we'd love to have.
4:04
[SPEAKER_00]: How many guys from each team?
4:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you don't require to vote.
4:07
[SPEAKER_00]: They just hand out some ballots that I don't know how long ago.
4:11
[SPEAKER_00]: But last year, Brock Perty was twenty-eight on the NFL top one hundred list.
4:16
[SPEAKER_00]: CJ Stroud was twenty-a-th deck press got was sixteen.
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, this year deck, but CJ Strowd and deck press got its time has already come and gone on the top one hundred list, deck fell sixty some spots.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Baker is fifth year.
4:35
[SPEAKER_00]: CJ Strowd's thirty ninth.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, on this list down from nineteen last year.
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Stafford's fifty ninth down from seventeen.
4:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So Bonyx.
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: is sixty-four.
4:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Bonix is better.
4:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a better athlete.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a, he's a better physical prospect.
4:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's a better quarterback than Brock Perti's sixty-four.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: But, but, but, but, but either the players.
5:02
[SPEAKER_00]: So this, either the players think he's a top thirty player after last year.
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Either he was twenty eight last year and somehow went up or maintained his position after a six win season seems unlikely or
5:16
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not in the top one hundred.
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the fact that Bosa's thirty one, no, no, sorry, kills thirty one.
5:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Bosa, I don't remember.
5:26
[SPEAKER_00]: We're both at Bosa, both we're Bosa is on this list.
5:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Boota Baker, is this this year's list?
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Bosa's fifty seventh.
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Justin Herbert's fifty six, A and Hutchinson, fifty fifth.
5:40
[SPEAKER_00]: A and Hutchinson's not going fifty fifth and NFL draft.
5:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going higher than that.
5:46
[SPEAKER_00]: But the League of Spoken, Sam Donald's, seventy second, Christian McCaffrey, seventy-third.
5:54
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not a Brock party taking over about to say, we might need to check who voted.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, two is ninety first.
6:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't hear me come for a recount on that one.
6:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, crazy, crazy.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not here to debate it.
6:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I am here to do all kinds of things at YouTube, but for the purpose of this conversation, I just want to point out when people say, oh, it's just, you guys, you don't get over the players.
6:32
[SPEAKER_00]: The players, George Kittle, thirty first.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't win games.
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's another part of this lesson here, but Brock pretty, I'm being a top one hundred player.
6:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Take note, not a chip guy, shoulder not Kelly, not a big chip guy, but a little bit of a chip maybe silent chip.
6:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Brock, I'm not sure if he's following this one, but you know, when players are a high, like they notice.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think Brock is a silent chip guy, probably, which I
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: That's more of my style, you know, only a small group of people know how you really feel about some things.
7:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, Brock's not on it.
7:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless I will be stunned.
7:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I did a video several weeks ago about, oh, we're sprocketing to be, fifty, six, sixty.
7:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, at this point, either the only thing that we'll put them on this list now is that the players think he's
7:29
[SPEAKER_00]: after a six win season better because he was twenty eight last year.
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So the brag parties were getting left off.
7:34
[SPEAKER_00]: The NFL top one hundred list.
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we can we can say that.
7:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Who what guy on the four days is most likely to not be on this list be back next year.
7:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd say Brock is one but Ricky Pierce all.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm telling you.
7:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you got to see it now.
7:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Thankfully, everyone got to see it that first drive of the first.
7:51
[SPEAKER_00]: The the first drive of the radar game three catches.
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: You know.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the racers are great.
7:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in a really tough spot.
7:58
[SPEAKER_00]: The FC West this year is the only division in the history of the sport that enters a year with all four coaches having been to a Super Bowl, Peyton Reed, Carallol, one-one, Jim Harbaugh.
8:10
[SPEAKER_00]: was going to be an NFL coach for extended period of time.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Not one one is we don't know.
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He's bringing his chargers into town.
8:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Train Lance coming in to Levi's on Saturday, five, thirty.
8:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Kick off all have the call.
8:22
[SPEAKER_00]: That game fell in and for pop again on that one.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But, um, read your soul.
8:26
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I, uh, the way I said it before the game and I said it for a couple of weeks.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just a line.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He's above the line.
8:32
[SPEAKER_00]: When you watch a guy practice, when you watch team drill, whatever you watch, and is that a real pro?
8:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Ricky Pierce also real pro.
8:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And then,
8:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He translated the game.
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He translated the game.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a real pro.
8:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think part of his health is critical is just him and Brock getting on the same page.
8:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Tim Ryan made that point during the game.
8:56
[SPEAKER_00]: They had a third down on that first drive in the red zone.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: and they weren't on the same page.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, that's really important because this is gonna be the best receiver on the team for at least half the season.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Democracy Robinson, I think, is really good, but he's not gonna, you know, likelihood we're still waiting to be available early in the year.
9:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there's some of this, like, oh, did you see how you grinning around?
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw me, Oko say that wasn't allowed.
9:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not allowed to be out there running around.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, there's a lot of that, like, oh, I, you look close.
9:22
[SPEAKER_00]: No, he does.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's, I don't know.
9:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I think people expected to be in a wheelchair or be in a brace.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he got hurt week seven last year.
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a while since that surgery and it's also going to be a while till he comes back.
9:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I know Kyle Shanahan said
9:42
[SPEAKER_00]: We sick people took that shenanigan quote last week.
9:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He said, oh, a week six.
9:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He was just saying, week six.
9:48
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I started thinking about.
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a guy could come back him, malloc, Mustafa, but that's later.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a week, twelve.
9:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, the Niners play week five on the.
10:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I used that eligible to come back for the first four weeks.
10:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Then they play week five against the Rams.
10:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I heard Kawakami or Barrows make this points a good point.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you're not going to bring him back on a short week.
10:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe that's why Kyle said week six.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not saying he's not back week six.
10:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying him running around right now is just not a head of schedule.
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not it's just it's good.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm happy to see him.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I actually am pretty optimistic.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be good and helpful.
10:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And has a chance to get back to his old self.
10:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks to me as he's out there with his teammates to be in a good place.
10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: So
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, projecting a little bit, hoping a little bit, I don't know, but that's, that's how it seems.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Ricky Purcell is going to be the number one guy.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And at some point, John Jennings is going to come back because he's going to have to and provide it.
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He's healthy enough to do it, which is a question.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, Ricky Purcell is going to be the dude.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's going to, he's going to, I'll tell you where the injuries.
10:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the defense of Dominic Poonie, the right guard getting hurt, not good.
11:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Corey Kiner.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: the running back, you know, less impactful than dominant puny's injury, but a high ankle sprain, I think was the prognosis.
11:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So at least a month, you know, he had to really, like Jordan Wattkins had one, but he didn't have to get helped off the way that Corey Conner did.
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe in the end, I'm not trying to be class-half.
11:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just thinking it out.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he was on the roster bubble and he's a guy you like.
11:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He want to lose him and maybe in the end it means that
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, who make the team, but after he's healthy, better chance of keeping him after the entry perhaps than if he was going to have to clear waivers.
11:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a quote, Cody, Cody Schrader got claimed last year and by the Rams, and I think this guy's better than him.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So unlikely that if you'd put him through waivers and my opinion that he was going to clear it, Ashton, Gentie, speaking of running backs.
11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, as many of you may know or may have, as many of you have probably forgotten, that might be a good way to say something.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I used, I sell a long time ago.
12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I am a Heisman voter.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I voted for Travis Hunter.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I really took it seriously.
12:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I really, I think you vote digitally.
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a Deloitte, you know, digital, what you call it, ballot, portal.
12:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really thought a lot about it.
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I struggled with it because I thought Ash and Jente was a highman where the ultimate lab voted for Travis Hunter.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I've not really seen anything like him.
12:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you go back to Charles Woodson or whatever, but different.
12:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So I voted for, but Ash and not because I didn't love Ash and Jente.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks
12:48
[SPEAKER_00]: See him in person.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen him.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I did a boysy stay game.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen him in person.
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes, you know, you see a guy in person in college and then you see him in person in the NFL and the size he looks different.
13:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Not Ash and Jente.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Ash and Jente looks just as big, bigger on an NFL field.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably is bigger since I last saw him.
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He he belongs.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He looks like an absolute terror to try and tackle.
13:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He got hurt yesterday or Saturday on a tackle from Tatum Bethune when he hit them.
13:17
[SPEAKER_00]: The Niners linebacker who's looked good.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But he is, it's going to work.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Chip Kelly loves the run game, Pete Carroll loves the run game.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're going to be very good.
13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Their best receiver is Jacobi Myers.
13:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had a thousand yard season last year, but somebody has to, but you know, Carlos Hyderlant's almost ran for a thousand yards for Chip Kelly in the forty-nine or so.
13:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But that guy is a power system monster.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: What a disappointment that Brock Byrest didn't go to.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he had to go to the SEC that the West Coast schools couldn't keep napasone, Brock Bows around as a raider.
14:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Jake Moody, fifty-nine yarder.
14:06
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he missed the kick early.
14:08
[SPEAKER_00]: The twenty-six yard kick also was close.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It was fun to see their reaction.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone's got an opinion.
14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a mental seems to be the prevailing opinion.
14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
14:25
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just the clearly the prevailing opinion.
14:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I'm not saying it's not the case.
14:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just not sure that it is the case.
14:35
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you go back to the last year, the ball flight is the thing that's perplexing.
14:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It, it, it, the ball is like, just jumps all over the place.
14:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He can kill it.
14:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, remember he reduced his approach from three steps to two, any, that fifty nine yard of that he hit.
14:54
[SPEAKER_00]: had plenty of luck.
14:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it got to the net.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But even as I was watching it live and it's tough, a calling game winning field goals and I saw a lot of you on YouTube reacted that you wanted to see mine.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: You do your interest in seeing the spotting board.
15:09
[SPEAKER_00]: that I use for games.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think we'll I'll do that maybe with the Charger one next week that I forgot and I ripped the radar as soon as the games over I ripped the thing apart and throw it away because I for road games at the board it's a thick board and I break it into four pieces.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I put it together take it apart put it in the suitcase.
15:27
[SPEAKER_00]: But game winning field goals are real or field goals in general are hard to call because.
15:35
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you're watching just the field, you can see the distance.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's hard to see left or right.
15:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're waiting on the officials or you're trying to eyeball it.
15:45
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to be wrong on that.
15:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So then like my operations, I watch it get off clean.
15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I look down to the monitor, which is going to have the view from behind.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: But this kick is so long that the camera is has to kind of like pull back.
16:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just want to be sure.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So I probably didn't say he got it till it hit the net.
16:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched the officials put their arms up.
16:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably could have said it earlier.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: But as I'm watching it on the as I take my eyes off the field and I look down to the monitor.
16:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, because the camera's pulling back the uprights are just starting to come into view as the ball is coming at that camera that's behind me the uprights.
16:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't really tell like you see his ball sometimes it looks.
16:28
[SPEAKER_00]: like it's going and then it and then it jumps.
16:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was holding my breath a little bit by good for him.
16:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he drilled it especially given that he'd missed one early in the game.
16:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, he kicks long kicks.
16:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So sometimes he's on, he's in a position to try and kick a long one.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And they put him in a lot of those spots because that's what you drafted him and part four.
16:52
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the only, not the only other thing but the other thing I'll say is
16:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But as always, if you're talking about replacing a kicker, you've got to have a good option.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know there was a lot of Greg Joseph, you know, well, this is going to be a competition.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was close.
17:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, for whatever type of competition it was, it was close.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just keep going back to, you know, Greg Joseph missed four extra point.
17:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It was sixteen to twenty and extra points last year.
17:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So if somebody else is the other guy,
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're ever at a point where they're cutting moody to look for somebody else, the other guy is going to have a sketchy track record too.
17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Just, you know, so it's the idea of like, well, there's something else better.
17:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe there is, because the counter would be, well, there's only thirty two, no teams carrying two of them.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: So that means there's probably good ones available.
17:51
[SPEAKER_00]: We see it all the time happen, guys get cut, go on to have a good career somewhere else.
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that ball was.
17:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I was, I, I so played that call just because I wanted to be sure.
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of special teams, I don't want to get too granular, but waitin' for Junior Bergen to flash.
18:11
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they, they had one good return.
18:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is just me talking, I've not talked to Tim Ryan or anybody else about this other than like, hey Tim, here's my opinion.
18:22
[SPEAKER_00]: But you just go through the,
18:25
[SPEAKER_00]: because that's why I like to sit down with football guy Tim Ryan and spew my opinions at him.
18:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Speaking, I thought I was a football guy.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew I was nothing in nowhere near Tim's caliber of football guy.
18:39
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you want to know how a football guy mixes his coffee.
18:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I learned on Saturday during the game when I looked over to see Tim Ryan, true football guy mixing his coffee.
18:49
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, dump some sugar, whatever.
18:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't see what he dumped.
18:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Sharpie, you use your Sharpie.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how a football guy mixes stars coffee.
19:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Sharpie, so there you go.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Next time you grind in some tape, pull out a Sharpie and mix your coffee.
19:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Junior Burgers got a flash.
19:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this team, the advantage to anybody trying to make the forty-nineers ever seever has is, you know, no IU, Cowings started practicing last week, so maybe he'll play in the preseason game this week.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But the roster's tight because of all the injuries that they have, it really limits your luxury items, right?
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, his special teamers are luxury items.
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, thirty three saran nail.
19:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's, these are really, you go back and look at this history.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned him before the game, player to watch, there, two thousand special team snaps.
19:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to get a lot of, you know, a lot of attention here.
19:48
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not going to talk about it a lot, but like that's a critical player.
19:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Junior Bergen, if he's not going to get on the field as a receiver, which it doesn't, at this point, it's not shaping up that he would.
20:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,
20:04
[SPEAKER_00]: The things got to be dynamic in the return game.
20:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And to this point, the Niners and two Preseason games, and I know you're not really a brand boy.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not really scheming it.
20:14
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to hold some stuff back.
20:17
[SPEAKER_00]: How dynamic is the dynamic kickoff really?
20:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's a lot of people running around.
20:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure it's more dynamic.
20:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I know there were more touchdowns last year.
20:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was seven, the previous kick, the previous kick off return for touchdown number was four in the NFL that year before.
20:35
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's just not a lot of juice for the riders on the return game right now.
20:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, they used to pick on them, which is fine.
20:46
[SPEAKER_00]: They've done very well in the seventh round, even if you don't count per day.
20:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And when they did it, it was like, hey, this is the guy that, you know, I wonder, you know, one thing we don't talk about, how much adjustment is it does your good college kick return or translate?
21:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a different return.
21:04
[SPEAKER_00]: You catch the ball the same way.
21:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you run up to it the same way.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Are the holes different?
21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: The coverage has to be different.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the whole thing's different.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I haven't talked.
21:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't asked about that, but that's, I wonder what it's like for these kickers now coming in the last two years in the NFL.
21:21
[SPEAKER_00]: These kicker turners coming in the last two years.
21:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a totally different skill?
21:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a similar skill?
21:28
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I think Saturday's probably a big day for him.
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: The try and make a player too.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And get himself on the roster.
21:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Saturday, the return.
21:40
[SPEAKER_00]: For those of you who are not on the internet, which is none of you, if you're watching on YouTube.
21:49
[SPEAKER_00]: But no, I would say, when I say on the internet, I mean like grind in socials, you know, watching YouTube is just like turning on the TV now.
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Listen to a podcast is just like turning on the radio now.
22:05
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of this trail and spuzz.
22:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned it last week.
22:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Lewis Riddick at a strong take.
22:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He's back.
22:14
[SPEAKER_00]: He's coming.
22:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He made some really nice throws this week.
22:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm interested to see him in person.
22:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Him and Harbs.
22:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Chugs on.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Embarrassing.
22:34
[SPEAKER_00]: During the game on the TV broadcast, Tim Ryan made a comment about a play, a collision between a defensive back and a receiver within the first five yards, a line of scrimmage where you can throw hands.
22:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said something about the Chuck Zone.
22:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, on the air, I'm sorry, did you say the Chuck Zone?
22:56
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I thought he said.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said no more on.
22:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I said Chuck Zone.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was dead in the water at that point, not no real direction, nowhere to go.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: But Tim's a great teammate, and we made something out of nothing there.
23:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And I actually, some of the great inventions are accidental chugs on should be a thing.
23:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Chugs on is pretty self-explanatory and involves beer drinking.
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I told the guys, like, I first ran at the Chuck Zones on me.
23:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know what kind of football term that would be.
23:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe somebody can help me out with what that would be as a football term, but Chuck Zones.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: What else?
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's kind of the, that's, oh, I did see, you know, interesting.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyle didn't call plays again.
23:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I was watching on Sunday, some of the charges Rams game for the weekend.
23:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only did McVay not call plays.
23:58
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is clever.
23:59
[SPEAKER_00]: McVay went into the coaching booth yesterday.
24:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Sean McVay, he did this last year as well, had one of his assistants, it was the same guy, run the game.
24:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But McVay goes up to the coaching booth, which is really interesting.
24:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if he sees things differently, communicates differently.
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it reminds me a little bit of what's that show undercover boss.
24:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I always think the CEO, you know, has worked at every level of businesses, started in the mail room.
24:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, I mean, it's a great way to be to know what it's like, at least to go back and understand what people on the line are experiencing.
24:48
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I thought it was a cool little thing that McVade did.
24:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Will the A's ever get to Vegas?
24:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Find question.
25:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I will report to you.
25:02
[SPEAKER_00]: There's some skepticism among Vigacyans.
25:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see.
25:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
25:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That's all for this.
25:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll talk to you soon.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for hanging.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Let everybody.
