Latest / 49ers Rush Podcast with John Chapman / 49ers 53 Man Roster Is Set
Transcript
- 0:01[SPEAKER_00]: time for the 49ers rush podcast.
- 0:29[SPEAKER_00]: and here's your host, John Chapman.
- 0:34[SPEAKER_01]: What is going on faithful?
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: It is absolutely incredible to be with you guys today.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_01]: So fresh off the press, sorry for the late show for the live crowd.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: We're just waiting for the 49ers to announce their roster moves which finally came out, almost a full 60 minutes after the deadline date.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_01]: Shanahan sees it as some kind of strange advantage, announcing after everybody, uh, strategic, and so, uh, you know, take that for what you will, but a lot of interesting moves.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_01]: Now, a lot of caveats here.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_01]: This is the initial 53-man roster.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_01]: It is not the final 53-man roster.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, the punter and long snapper were both waved.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_01]: But, but because they are vested veterans, these are the handshake deals, which we told you, we're gonna happen.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't mention these two specific players, obviously.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think everybody projected that they would be cutting both the long snapper and the punter.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_01]: But,
- 1:37[SPEAKER_01]: They're both going to come back.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: I think that that's almost a foregone conclusion because if you're not a vested veteran, you are subject to waivers, meaning other teams get to claim you.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_01]: You have to clear those waivers, didn't you get reverted back to the practice squad?
- 1:52[SPEAKER_01]: Vested veterans do not go through waivers.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_01]: They're cut.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_01]: They get assigned with whoever they want.
- 1:58[SPEAKER_01]: So this is just an extra move because the 49ers only get two IR designated two return spots,
- 2:07[SPEAKER_01]: shocker.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_01]: I really didn't think that they valued him that high and Christian Kirk.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_01]: So
- 2:15[SPEAKER_01]: Because of that, guys like Renardo Green, guys like Nick Martin, guys like Vaderi and Lowe who made the roster to Maro one day after the, you know, initial 53 set, then you could put those guys on IR and bring back the punner, bring back the long snapper and because you only get those two IR designated to return spots, before, you know, everything gets going.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_01]: So that's where they went that one.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_01]: There's there's a few takes that you can take and we're going to go kind of position by position.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: They kept three quarterbacks.
- 2:54[SPEAKER_01]: Brock party Mac Jones Curtis work.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_01]: And they kept three running backs.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_01]: Christian McAfrey, Katelyn Black, Jordan James Kyle use check if you want to count them in there.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_01]: Isaac Corrindo is on pup and so is Michele Williams.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_01]: They don't count against the 53.
- 3:09[SPEAKER_01]: But they did not keep for running backs, which we have seen them do for a long time, but I think that has to do with.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_01]: Man, if you're looking at like the whole Christian McAfrey wherever you've stand on his longevity, man, this is awesome because it's just more confidence in the three guys that they have to only keep three runbacks now, you're going to bring back some on the practice squad, which gets 16 players on the practice squad.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_01]: But christian becafery canlin black Jordan James those are your three run abacks that cuts and see her McCormick they cut clio Herbert.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, Ed, you know, I knew this was going to be one not only did Sebastian Valdez not make it Bryson East and did not make it either.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_01]: Those two were probably the biggest
- 3:51[SPEAKER_01]: just outcuts that were made that were just like man that hurts.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_01]: So those two were definitely the two that were just like gosh I really wish they could have found a way to keep them but with Sebastian Valdez I'll go back to this.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_01]: He's been on the practice squad for two years now and nobody's ever claimed him.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_01]: Yes he put up a lot of quality tape this year.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_01]: But they're kind of, I think this is, they want him back.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_01]: They want a lot of these guys back.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_01]: A price in East and in Smashville, there's our guys that they would want back.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_01]: Will they be able to get them both back?
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we'll kind of see what that looks like.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: Now, back to the roster as we go through this, they kept the four tight ends, like we thought that they would.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_01]: Braden Willis was not cut.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, I talked about this.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: He continues to put up quality tape and I don't expect George Kittle to play week one.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect George Kittle to play week two.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that he does.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_01]: I hope I'm wrong.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_01]: but by keeping these three tight ends, Luke Feral, Jake Torn just sprayed in Willis, you now have a tight-end room going to week one, even if George Kittle doesn't play.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I know Brandon Willis isn't a lot of people's favorites.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_01]: I understand that.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_01]: Dude put up some quality tape in the preseason.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_01]: They could trust him.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_01]: He could play full back.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_01]: He could play the tight end blocking row.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_01]: He could play the tight end receiving roll.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_01]: He runs better routes than he catches, but like they trust him.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_01]: And so that's kind of, you know, where it is.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_01]: So four tight ends.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_01]: I like that Clill Dink instead and make it way to expect them to.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: He practiced for a week, but they're gonna get him back.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, to Roochie didn't make it.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the offensive line is kind of bonkers.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: Cause in Rikai Cruz made this and, you know, we did our zoom hangout yesterday and I and I I just kept kind of saying like do there's no tackles you have to have somebody because awesome pleasants is hurt.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_01]: Brandon Parker you can't keep.
- 5:52[SPEAKER_01]: He got cut Isaac Gallicon got cut he'll be back on the international pathway program.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't count against the practice squad.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_01]: So he has 16 practice squad plus Isaac Garendo.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_01]: But Austin Blisson said he's going to be able to play the brand of parkers not in NFL tackle.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: You've got to have a backup.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_01]: The dairy and lows not ready to practice yet to my knowledge.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he's got to be one of those players that's moved to IR a day after the roster is set.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_01]: Enrique Cruz legitimately barring picking up a free agent somewhere else or whatever else like.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, kind of crazy, kind of crazy to say the least.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_01]: And so that one's rough.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_01]: So your tackles, you know, Trent Williams called to be kivots and recay crews and Viderian low, but I expect Viderian low to be moved very, very soon, very, very soon.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_01]: Your guards, which the four-darned straighted for Jared Patterson, he's a center guard combo.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_01]: He's played a lot of football from the Texans.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_01]: He's from California with the mission of the A.O.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_01]: six rounder, good pass protector, he's played center, 1200 plus and apps, he's played guard, 350 plus snaps, all left guard or center.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_01]: Broke his ankle after his rookie year and just kind of been a situational guy, not a top tier guy.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: You got it.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: You gave up a 2027 seventh rounder for Jared Patterson.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_01]: So you he'll come in and compete for the left guard spot.
- 7:18[SPEAKER_01]: But at worst, he is what Brett
- 7:21[SPEAKER_01]: was going to be, which Brett Toth got put on season in Diniar.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_01]: It's over.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_01]: Nick Sequel got placed on season in Diniar.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_01]: Those two players are not allowed to play for the 49ers this year, no matter what.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_01]: no matter what.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_01]: So Brett Toth, gone, nicks a kill, gone.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_01]: They're years are done.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_01]: So insert, Jared Patterson and men, you've got a lot of bodies here.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_01]: Robert Jones didn't make the roster.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody acts shocked by it.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: I kept saying I was screaming that like, dude, this dude's going to retire.
- 7:50[SPEAKER_01]: He's never playing football again.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: He got, he got waved.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_01]: So your guards, Connor Colby, Carver Willis, Jared Patterson, and of course Dominique Poonie.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_01]: So you've got three guys fighting for that.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad they kept all of them.
- 8:03[SPEAKER_01]: Jake Brindle, of course, Drake Nuget got cut.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_01]: So Jared Patterson at worst is gonna be the backup center.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_01]: He's got experience there.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't give up a lot of sex.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't give up one sec in seven games last year.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: But run games a problem.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's a past pro, kind of floor player.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a real high floor and past protection outside of that not going to help you in the run game similar to Brando But a lot younger and cheap you got him a seventh round pick not this upcoming draft the next one No, it's 2027.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, it is this next draft.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_01]: I misspoke there.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_01]: So that that's your offense.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_01]: Now Let's get to
- 8:47[SPEAKER_01]: the defense, which man, I am just absolutely floored that they did not keep more defensive tackles.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about it next, but you're running out of time for a free bit.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_01]: want to start football season off with a bet that feels like you can't miss the my booky lock of the season is back and the first one is an absolute no-brainer.

- 10:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you can bet in California with my bookie go check it out my book.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's get to me and probably the biggest surprise.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: Victor Diamond Kagey made the roster, which I think is just awesome.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, I talked about keeping 70 fence of tackles and only 4D ends.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_01]: McCell Williams, some pup, he doesn't count.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: Nick Bosa, Ramello Heights, Samo, Keyon White, and Victor Diamond Kagey.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: So you're got this guy that man played really well in the preseason, a lot of quality snaps and like I keep going through the cut list and I'm just like his name's not on there like, is it on there?
- 11:07[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's like, who?
- 11:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Victor, dime a kg.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_01]: And so like you've got that extra rotational now, I think that this could be a player.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_01]: that, you know, it might not be on the team the first, you know, he's kind of like a backup option, unless they claim a defense event.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_01]: edge rusher, which we're going to go through a list of players that I've been keeping track of that I would be interested in that I've been cut from other teams that I think could be potential fits will get into that.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, so you've got Miguel Williams.
- 11:39[SPEAKER_01]: He's out the first four games on pup.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_01]: Cannot play so that he could start practicing week three, which is huge and he's look good on the side field.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he's doing the training workouts and all that kind of stuff on the side field looks pretty good, but
- 11:53[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to rush that one back again his ACL took place six weeks after Nick Boses and you know you're seeing Boses kind of go through comes back and we'll have to see how that goes.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_01]: I expect them to play but yeah so they cut Quentin Bell cut Fielco
- 12:12[SPEAKER_01]: Cut O'Quarroquo, which I thought he would be the guy that got in, but did not, they kept Victor time and catching.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_01]: Now, defensive tackles, you got OSA, Odegi Zua, obviously Alfred Collins.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_01]: I know there's people are like, I rate about how he's played in the preseason coming off in an injury, which is crazy.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_01]: He's only been back for two and a half weeks, but yeah, he has to look good.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_01]: He has to look good.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_01]: But like the idea of cutting
- 12:37[SPEAKER_01]: a second round pick a year later, doesn't really happen.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't going to happen.
- 12:42[SPEAKER_01]: Never was to be like, oh, you got to keep all the Sebastian Valdes, a price at least if they're better than he though.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're not.
- 12:48[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're not.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're not.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're not.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_01]: So like.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_01]: This, this is one of those things like people always pick one player to kind of go after and he has not been good.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying Alfred Collins has been good.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_01]: He has not, but CJ West, OSA, Alfred Collins, Grace and Haunt James Thompson Jr.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_01]: The undrafted free agent, the only undrafted free agent that made the roster this season, it is rookie year.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_01]: He's been awesome and shoot.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_01]: He might get reps out there.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think I see his role, him and Alfred Collins, as like two sides of the same coin.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_01]: Alfred Collins out there early downs, run downs, James Thompson out there past downs.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_01]: Like that you knew what Alfred Collins was, which was supposed to be a run stop, or he was pretty good against the run.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: James Thompson is a past pressure, a penetrating force that just gets penetration consistently.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_01]: He's huge, six, six, whatever else gets in throwing lanes.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Sebastian Valdez, Bryson Eason,
- 13:50[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the two biggest like man, which happens every year.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_01]: Like you can't keep everybody, and this is a solid roster.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers 2026 roster is good.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_01]: Making this 53 was going to be hard.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_01]: And if you don't have elite traits, you get put behind the, you guys remember Marcus Rush, like the all preseason all pro.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_01]: Dude, we get like six sex in the preseason get cut every time and you know, Daniel Jeremiah put this out there where he said like being preseason games are great, traits and upside are key to making the roster.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_01]: And so you can be awesome in the preseason.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't have elite traits, don't get comfortable.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_01]: And you see these undersized guys, like Sebastian Valdez that just ball out and he played great.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought I had him making the roster,
- 14:39[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have those elite traits and you're not worried somebody's going to take you.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it is.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_01]: So again, the defensive tackles they only kept five C.J.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: West also did use what Alfred Collins Grace and Haunt and James Thompson Jr. That's a good, young, core group of guys, like awesome, really, really good.
- 14:57[SPEAKER_01]: So you've got five defensive tackles, you've got five defensive ends.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_01]: That's the D line group, not a bad group.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_01]: You need Bosa to be Bosa.
- 15:11[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't get those things, you're not that you're gonna be in trouble because now you have a defensive coordinator that can manufacture pressure.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_01]: But this is a highlighted position group that's gonna determine kind of how the 49er season goes.
- 15:25[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna be very, very honest with you.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_01]: Um, linebackers.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_01]: Um, man, you kept, you kept seven.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_01]: This is the room that they kept and I kept screaming like dude, how do you keep seven?
- 15:39[SPEAKER_01]: How do you keep seven?
- 15:39[SPEAKER_01]: They kept seven.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm so proud.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_01]: Um,
- 15:43[SPEAKER_01]: Jayden Dugger, Fred Warner, Drake Greenlaw, Luke Gifford, was now he might be another player that gets put on IR as soon as tomorrow, right?
- 15:52[SPEAKER_01]: Pro Bowl special teamer, you don't cut that guy.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_01]: I know he hasn't played this preseason whatever else, but like no, these guys don't grow on trees.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_01]: So Luke Gifford could be an IR candidate that happens tomorrow.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Garrett Wallow made it.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: He had a hell of a preseason.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_01]: Nick Martin's not placed on IR currently.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_01]: Could be, you know, how bad's that hamstring?
- 16:12[SPEAKER_01]: He could be another guy that goes on IR and then Tatum Bethton, who earned a spot.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_01]: And if Gifford and Martin go on IR, well, now you've got Tatum Bethton and Garrett Wallow backing up your spots.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_01]: You've got Bethton who will back up the mic.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_01]: And then you've got Garrett Wallow that will back up the will and the same spot, which he's already played both.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_01]: So like you've got you've got the roster built in to man, you kept seven linebackers, but two of them are injured.
- 16:41[SPEAKER_01]: Luke Gifford and Nick Martin.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_01]: So the puncher and long snapper, man, you just put Luke Gifford and Nick Martin on IAR tomorrow and then you bring back the
- 16:55[SPEAKER_01]: The process of that is once you go on IR after the initial 53 you can be brought back after four games.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to be brought back.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_01]: You only got those two IR designated to return early spots and again that went to Kirk Christian Kirk and sure enough awesome pleasants, which still shocks me, but shows you how much they value him as the number three tackles.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_01]: So, man, everybody better cross their damn fingers.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_01]: that Trent Williams, it's called to be kids stay healthy.
- 17:25[SPEAKER_01]: If Enrique Cruz, Jr. has to play first team reps like that dude was getting pumped by fourth teamers in the third preseason game.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_01]: He's increased his potential, but yeah, anyway.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_01]: Do it do it that do with that what you will.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and beyond Jones like that was never a possibility like that was a free trade.
- 17:48[SPEAKER_01]: You just needed somebody to play.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_01]: You got to look at him.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_01]: Jaly Graham Larry worth got cut.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_01]: That one hurts a little bit, but I doubt he gets picked up anywhere.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_01]: Now corners.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see here.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_01]: Dimo Renardo Green Ephesians price.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_01]: Doc Jack Jones up to stout Nate Hobbs all kept.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_01]: They cut to rail looter.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: They cut Eli Apple, Jacob Robinson, who had a great preseason, but again, if you don't have the traits, you don't have the traits, but fun, fun, tate, fun, tate.
- 18:20[SPEAKER_01]: It's so bad, you've got six corners, Nate Hobbs and Priceok are potential IR players.
- 18:26[SPEAKER_01]: They're both injured.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_01]: How long they're gonna be out, I don't know.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, you kept six.
- 18:32[SPEAKER_01]: And, man, that's a solid damn corner room.
- 18:35[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully everybody's healthy.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_01]: How long's Ronaldo green out?
- 18:38[SPEAKER_01]: Is he a guy that could go to IR?
- 18:39[SPEAKER_01]: Hope not.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_01]: Nate Hobbs haven't seen them.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what that looks like.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_01]: The safety room you kept for Jair Brown, Marky Seagull, Mallick and Stoffice, Sierra Neal, the special teamer who he can play corner two, actually look pretty good in preseason, but stud special teamer.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: Scott Ashton Davis, Patrick Ramores, Jalen Strowman, and the only specialist you kept was Eddie Piniero.
- 19:03[SPEAKER_01]: That was it,
- 19:11[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely not the final 53 there's going to be moves like crazy.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_01]: Again, you just look at the potential IR players that could happen.
- 19:23[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of them.
- 19:24[SPEAKER_01]: And if a dairy and low, he could be put over there.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob Cowen, what's that entry look like?
- 19:28[SPEAKER_01]: It's Jordan Walkets.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_01]: He made it.
- 19:32[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations to Desk, give the wide receivers.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_01]: I think I skipped the wide receivers.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_01]: That's y'all's fault.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_01]: That's not that I take for responsibility.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_01]: Wide receiver room, Mike Evans, Dibo, Deshan, to Marcus Robinson.
- 19:43[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he would be one of those handshake agreement deals, but he's been awesome.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob Cowen and Jordan Walkens.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_01]: You got to keep them both.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_01]: I did not think.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_01]: That would happen, again, Jordan Walker's I expected to be traded, we'll see.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_01]: But they kept him and he's going to be around.
- 20:01[SPEAKER_01]: And so yeah, you've got six wide receivers.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes they keep five, but with Mike Evans, a little bit, you know, on the fence, how healthy is he?
- 20:11[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to see there, to Marcus Robinson would kind of be the first man stepping up, not a bad wide receiver room, but shout out to Jordan Walker, it's making this roster.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't sure he would be on there.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, that's where it is.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_01]: That's where it is.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_01]: So now we have completed every position on the thing.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_01]: And again, shout out to David Lombardi.
- 20:33[SPEAKER_01]: I always use his spreadsheet, which he does such a good job setting that up.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. spreadsheet, he's great at it.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so it just quick shout out to him.
- 20:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, striply made it, of course.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_01]: So the entire rookie, like every rookie made the roster currently.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_01]: Every one of them.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_01]: So that is huge, especially whenever you have such a large rookie class.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_01]: Enrique Cruz was the one big, if you won, but you know, I went back and looked at it.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_01]: Shenan has a cut one fifth rounder or even like, you know, our higher rookie and there's been some bad ones.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_01]: There's been some real bad ones.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_01]: So rookie's get chances and whenever you look at that line of demarcation, whenever we're talking draft capital or whatever else, it always goes back to this idea like, man,
- 21:17[SPEAKER_01]: fifth round is a demarcation line.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_01]: 49ers have nailed it in the fifth round, but it's a big difference between the sixth and the seventh and a fifth rounder, most drafts.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_01]: Every draft class is a little bit different, but Enrique Cruz who has not looked good has not looked promising, who they anticipated being a project player.
- 21:37[SPEAKER_01]: He made this roster and he is one
- 21:48[SPEAKER_01]: says, you know, Cruz shouldn't even be in the NFL.
- 21:50[SPEAKER_01]: They kept them to justify where they drafted them.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_01]: He has the traits like we get stuck on this.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_01]: And I do as well.
- 21:57[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a tape guy.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a tape like obviously we go through every single plate, offense, defense, special teams of every game forever.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's what we do.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a tape guy.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_01]: The NFL is a traits based organization.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_01]: Enrique Cruz has the traits, his tape sucks.
- 22:17[SPEAKER_01]: They see it so like if you're pissed about Enrique Cruz, you also like the other side of that is Jayden Dugger, Jayden Dugger's tape sucked, it was awful, but he's got to lead traits, they bet on the traits late, Jayden Dugger hit, Enrique Cruz has not to this point, will that change, ah, will that change?
- 22:41[SPEAKER_01]: that that's kind of the question that you got to look at.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_01]: So now let's let's do this.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_01]: We've got some more here are some free agents that have been cut, which I've just been adding to this list that I would like the 49ers to, you know,
- 23:00[SPEAKER_01]: look into.
- 23:01[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't watch the tape of other teams near as much, so like most of these guys are guys that I was high on coming into the draft.
- 23:08[SPEAKER_01]: B.J.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_01]: Ojilari, former second round pick, got cut.
- 23:13[SPEAKER_01]: He's got five stacks of this career.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_01]: He's drafted in 2023.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_01]: It hasn't been great, but would you prefer Victor time EKG or BJO Jellari?
- 23:23[SPEAKER_01]: I would put it in a waiver there.
- 23:24[SPEAKER_01]: Now you gotta understand the 40 hours of pretty late in the waiver process winning a playoff game.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to match, you know, kind of where they drafted, which I think was 20
- 23:34[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, goodness, 27.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_01]: It's been that long.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know what our draft pick was, but yeah, so B. J. O. J. Larry, Ed pressure defensive and same Williams.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a lot of off the field stuff, but, you know, speed, bend, pressure, Kyle canard more of an all-purpose.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_01]: similar to the book style ends out of South Carolina.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_01]: I like him, Chris Braswell, another defensive end guy, a Disa Isaac, another outside edge player.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_01]: Those are my edge guys, which I've been watching that position very closely.
- 24:02[SPEAKER_01]: None are perfect, none are starters, but your conversation is man, bring them on the practice squad, have them compete with Victor, Diamond KG and see who's better, because you're gonna need somebody out there until McKell Williams comes back.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_01]: uh... there was one fifth round pit cut uh... just one no two two fifth rounders got cut that were drafted this year tight in just in jolly i didn't like his tape he's kind of a finesse wide receiver in a tightens body just not physical i'd sea jordan walkins commentary i do not enjoy players that are not physical um... evidently a former top ten pick you know for the giants played guard and tackle just never worked out
- 24:46[SPEAKER_01]: Would you rather have Enrique Cruz or Evan Neil, who's at least played a lot of NFL ball.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't played well, but the pedigree, the traits are there.
- 24:56[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody's going to give him a chance.
- 24:58[SPEAKER_01]: Drew Moss, you know, you remember the old, a tractor free agent with the Niners.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_01]: He got cut as well, a couple running backs.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_01]: Charquiz Hunter, Jaden Blue.
- 25:07[SPEAKER_01]: we're taking a peek at at the back end, you know, especially to see what that looks like bring them on the practice squad, Titan Preven Jordan, I really, really like.
- 25:15[SPEAKER_01]: He's just a receiving kind of that big, slot move Titan guy.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't block incredibly well, but man, he was fun out of my Emmy safety Tony Jefferson and linebacker Owen Papo.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_01]: He was out of Auburn.
- 25:30[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of guys that are
- 25:33[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to see how that looks and kind of what the 49ers are going to do because, man, go get something, like, improve this roster.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the final.
- 25:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the final.
- 25:44[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the final.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_01]: It's not like I'm just going to keep screaming that.
- 25:47[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I know a lot of you guys have been screaming.
- 25:50[SPEAKER_01]: I've not neglected the chat.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to get to that.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're going to any 49ers road games, man, you got to cut party with us and we're throwing a home tell gate for the season opener.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_01]: 49ers rush road trip is going into it's sixth year with over 40 events at road games if you are traveling to see the 49ers play this year you gotta come party with us and on top of that we give games trivia giveaways we partnered with tick pick this year all you have to do with search 49ers rush on any of the tick pick sights apps you name it and on top of all of that.
- 26:27[SPEAKER_01]: best dressed, giveaways, autographed jerseys, kids are always included and get in for free with a ticket at adult.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of times for select cities, we will have 49ers legends come out and you get to meet and greet them and get autographed.
- 26:41[SPEAKER_01]: Vorrow Bowman, Frank Gore, Patrick Willis, Fred Warner, are all players that we have worked with in the past and trust me.
- 26:48[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to build the 49ers community, you're traveling by yourself, we got you covered 49ers
- 27:00[SPEAKER_01]: All right, come party with us.
- 27:03[SPEAKER_01]: We always have a good time.
- 27:04[SPEAKER_01]: So I am curious what, obviously, I'm seeing a lot of Bryson-Eason discussion in the chat.
- 27:15[SPEAKER_01]: There's always a mover to that hurt.
- 27:18[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, my thing with Bryson-Eason, he was the most consistent.
- 27:24[SPEAKER_01]: of those kind of, you know, back in tight ends.
- 27:26[SPEAKER_01]: The upside's not there.
- 27:28[SPEAKER_01]: The traits aren't there, right?
- 27:31[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of a bigger body, whatever, but not a lot of wingspan, not a lot of bursts, not a lot of 80 of that stuff.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_01]: He's just an anchor.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_01]: That one's hurt, that one's hard, right here.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_01]: Michael, who is the starting Sam?
- 27:47[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Jaden Tugger.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: Jaden Tuggers are starting to say him.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_01]: So your starting backs are Fred Warner, Drake, Green lawn, Jaden Tugger.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_01]: Garrett Wallows probably a little bit more consistent, but he doesn't have that elite upside.
- 28:02[SPEAKER_01]: I think Jaden Tuggers are starter.
- 28:04[SPEAKER_01]: I think they wanted it to be Nick Martin.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_01]: They were interested in that, but the entry and just the inconsistencies Jaden Tugger, I think he starts and you're either going to have Jaden Tugger or up and stout on the field at all times.
- 28:19[SPEAKER_01]: My biggest not complaint right I'm not complaining here, even though it might sound like that.
- 28:25[SPEAKER_01]: My biggest issue with the scheme that Rahim Morris runs, which I'm super excited for him, is dude, stay in nickel, keep up and stout on the damn field.
- 28:36[SPEAKER_01]: Whenever you do your four three over and your five-man fronts and your fever pack or whatever you want to call it,
- 28:43[SPEAKER_01]: You're taking one of your better players off the field.
- 28:45[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like that.
- 28:46[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I hear people say, like, oh, well, put him at safety.
- 28:49[SPEAKER_01]: He has a practice there.
- 28:51[SPEAKER_01]: Put him out outside corner.
- 28:52[SPEAKER_01]: He has a practice there.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_01]: So I want 20 up and stout who I think can be a home run plate.
- 29:00[SPEAKER_01]: I think he has potential to be the best nickel in the NFL.
- 29:04[SPEAKER_01]: Like that is there.
- 29:05[SPEAKER_01]: That is the trajectory he is on.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't want them keeping them on the sideline, but I'd like, you know, you look at, and let's just go through your kind of starters, Brock Perti, Christian McCaffrey, Kyle use check.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_01]: Mike Evans, Dibo, Deshawn Stripley, and I have him out there, like those are your starting three wide receivers.
- 29:27[SPEAKER_01]: And you've got to Marcus Robison back and up everybody.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_01]: George Kettle and Luke Farrell will be your two tight insets whenever he's healthy.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_01]: But until Kettle gets out there and I can't stress this enough, Luke Farrell is the starting tight end.
- 29:39[SPEAKER_01]: Over Jake Tonchis, he has taken every single rep all of training camp and preseason with Brock Perti.
- 29:46[SPEAKER_01]: That's don't expect that to change.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_01]: And again, like I've remember, couple people, some quality, neither content creators, whatever you wanna call them,
- 29:56[SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about Luke Farrell's going to get cut.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, dude, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
- 30:00[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I understand there was a lot of bad tape last year, but he has taken every single rep with the ones and gotten starter level treatment.
- 30:08[SPEAKER_01]: The entire offseason since Kittles been out, they're not cutting him.
- 30:11[SPEAKER_01]: They're not doing that.
- 30:12[SPEAKER_01]: So he's your starter, whether you like it or not, and he has look good.
- 30:16[SPEAKER_01]: He's look better.
- 30:18[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but he's more of a complete do it all blocking tight in type, whereas Jake Tonchis is kind of the bigger slot guy, but man, he blocked really good.
- 30:27[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a Tonchis guy.
- 30:28[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying this is what the Niners will do.
- 30:31[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not disagreeing with you that they should do something else.
- 30:35[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so anyway, do with that one, whatever you will.
- 30:39[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, that the,
- 30:42[SPEAKER_01]: Offensive line.
- 30:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think Carver Willis is going to be your starter.
- 30:46[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe Jarrett Patterson comes in and, you know, surpasses him, but it's Trent Williams, probably Carver Willis, Jake Brindle, Dominique Pooni, Colton McKivitz.
- 30:57[SPEAKER_01]: And I hope they rotate that guard spot.
- 30:59[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully Jarrett Patterson just comes in and wins the job.
- 31:02[SPEAKER_01]: The problem is all these guys have tradeoffs.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_01]: Carver Willis is the best run blocking guard on the team.
- 31:08[SPEAKER_01]: He's better than Dominique Pooni in the run game already.
- 31:12[SPEAKER_01]: Major liability going to get Brock Perti hit.
- 31:15[SPEAKER_01]: Pass pro is bad.
- 31:16[SPEAKER_01]: Very bad.
- 31:18[SPEAKER_01]: You got to play him week one against Aaron Donald if he does play Jesus.
- 31:23[SPEAKER_01]: Like you can't anchor.
- 31:25[SPEAKER_01]: You can't anchor Connor Colby kind of your jack of all trades guy misses on some stunts Jared Patterson.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_01]: Not going to contribute in the run game really at all.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_01]: better past pro than both Connor Colby and Carver Willis combined.
- 31:39[SPEAKER_01]: So what is it that you want?
- 31:41[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want the past protection or do you want the elite run king?
- 31:46[SPEAKER_01]: Do you trust Brock pretty to dodge, you know, more, whatever, like these are the questions that they've got to figure out.
- 31:57[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, yeah, right here in Vader.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, forsters doing fine without first round picks, he makes it work.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the forster special taking around to average guys and playing up.
- 32:07[SPEAKER_01]: Remember, the Kyle Shannahan and tire offensive scheme.
- 32:10[SPEAKER_01]: It's easier for offensive line and it's easier for quarterbacks.
- 32:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's harder on wide receivers and tight ends.
- 32:17[SPEAKER_01]: So the degree of difficulty of every offensive scheme has advantages, disadvantages for certain positions.
- 32:24[SPEAKER_01]: We've heard Chris Forster say, hey,
- 32:27[SPEAKER_01]: Give me average guys, we'll coach them up and we'll make it work because we work in this zone scheme.
- 32:32[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody works together and it does work.
- 32:35[SPEAKER_01]: As wide Jake Brindle is Jake Brindle.
- 32:38[SPEAKER_01]: You can take these guys that are below average paid, below average talent and make it work.
- 32:45[SPEAKER_01]: That's what they've done.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_01]: The run game last year, notwithstanding for sure.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_01]: Now, starting defense, I think you're going to have key on white Nick Bosa out there with Osta deez, you went out for Collins.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_01]: I think Alfred Collins is going to start.
- 32:59[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying he deserves that.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying the tapes there.
- 33:01[SPEAKER_01]: I think that the idea of him as an early down player on first and second downs is why they drafted him in the second round.
- 33:10[SPEAKER_01]: Has he been great?
- 33:11[SPEAKER_01]: He has not, but people keep forgetting
- 33:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like dude, this tape last year, he put up some quality tape had some issues.
- 33:19[SPEAKER_01]: He's not consistent.
- 33:20[SPEAKER_01]: He loses early, plays too high.
- 33:22[SPEAKER_01]: But he is a playmaker.
- 33:24[SPEAKER_01]: He makes plays in the fourth quarter.
- 33:25[SPEAKER_01]: He makes plays in the goal line consistently.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's probably going to be the starter.
- 33:30[SPEAKER_01]: Grace and Halton maybe could have been that guy, but he's been so much time in camp.
- 33:34[SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't gotten the reps.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't got the reps. James Thompson Jr., he's more of a past rush guy.
- 33:40[SPEAKER_01]: So like,
- 33:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's there's going to be a major rotation for sure.
- 33:47[SPEAKER_01]: O's is going to be out there more than everybody combined and then just see who you know Mayor talkersy let's see who does it.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_01]: But again, we've seen the CJ West and Alfred Collins coming off injuries last year, the rookie year were bad.
- 34:01[SPEAKER_01]: It's a slow progress to getting to where they should be.
- 34:06[SPEAKER_01]: Starting linebackers, we talked about Fred Warner, Drake Greenlaw, Jayden Dugger.
- 34:10[SPEAKER_01]: Renardo Green's going to be interesting, but you can just swap in Jack Jones there, right?
- 34:14[SPEAKER_01]: So if Renardo Green is going to miss some time, Jack Jones just steps in and you may never give that job back.
- 34:23[SPEAKER_01]: He may never give it back and you're starting safeties, not even up for debated anymore.
- 34:27[SPEAKER_01]: Jaya Brown, Marquis Seagull, Malach and Mustafa, another player that could go on IR, having practice that all, but your two safeties are Marquis Seagull and Jaya Brown.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_01]: Like, that's just what it is, whether you love it, you hate it, whatever.
- 34:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Ben right here, Jared Kingston got cut.
- 34:44[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't see that.
- 34:45[SPEAKER_01]: Another guy that's been in the
- 34:51[SPEAKER_01]: other players over him that are on this roster currently, I wouldn't mind it, but I don't want to bring Jared Kingston to cut Connor Colby.
- 35:00[SPEAKER_01]: But if you put some of these guys on I are, you could have some room, or maybe you just get them on practice squad.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, there's a lot there, notorious.
- 35:11[SPEAKER_01]: To one love, uh, did not make the roster guys.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_01]: I love everything one of those videos and posts.
- 35:17[SPEAKER_01]: I am losing my mind.
- 35:20[SPEAKER_01]: on all of those.
- 35:20[SPEAKER_01]: They are just hilarious, man.
- 35:22[SPEAKER_01]: The 49er swimler, whatever you want to call them.
- 35:26[SPEAKER_01]: This team is not a boring team.
- 35:29[SPEAKER_01]: There is always craziness going on.
- 35:32[SPEAKER_01]: And it just doesn't stop.
- 35:33[SPEAKER_01]: It just doesn't stop.
- 35:34[SPEAKER_01]: Now, and we do this every year.
- 35:38[SPEAKER_01]: This, this week is huge because one, you know, I didn't break down the last preseason game because in the past we used always break it down and then I'd focus all this time on players that got cut and it's just like man that's wasted time.
- 35:52[SPEAKER_01]: So we always wait till the roster cut happens.
- 35:56[SPEAKER_01]: that's happened now.
- 35:57[SPEAKER_01]: The practice squad is going to be filled out over the next 24 to 48 hours.
- 36:03[SPEAKER_01]: They'll load like 10, 12 guys on their quick and then they'll wait for waiver claims to go through and they'll add a couple other ones.
- 36:11[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry dog going crazy.
- 36:13[SPEAKER_01]: He excited about the tape Lucy is, but
- 36:16[SPEAKER_01]: So there's that, and then, so we're gonna start breaking down the tape now in men.
- 36:23[SPEAKER_01]: Like we say this all the time.
- 36:24[SPEAKER_01]: It is huge if you want to join this plus way of our season long bets coming up.
- 36:28[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, come on, guys.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_03]: I painted the I really see the tape, but you got to see the tape to really see what it looks like.
- 36:33[SPEAKER_03]: But then I'll see it close from film.
- 36:35[SPEAKER_04]: The things that we saw on tape, the things that we require.
- 36:37[SPEAKER_03]: I hope you look the same on tape.
- 36:40[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get better from the tape, but before we open up some good film on those guys.
- 36:43[SPEAKER_02]: And we'll get to those things we got on the plane.
- 36:45[SPEAKER_01]: If the 49ers coaches and players have to watch the tape, what do you think you need to do?
- 36:50[SPEAKER_01]: Well, guess what?
- 36:50[SPEAKER_01]: We got the tape.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers rush.com and our Patreon channel, patreon.com slash 49ers rush podcast.
- 36:57[SPEAKER_01]: We have every offensive defense and special teams play outlined in all 22 and inzone coaches tape to go through and show you play by play, what this guy did wrong, what this guy did right, who was wrong, who was right, all those things.
- 37:15[SPEAKER_01]: you get it all seven day free trial right now plus we have monthly zoom hangouts we place our monthly bets weekly bets season long bets all on there if you want to be a better fan you want to understand football better guess what the 49ers rush dot com is the place to go
- 37:33[SPEAKER_01]: And man, this week is crazy.
- 37:36[SPEAKER_01]: So the 49ers just finished their mandatory three days off at the end of training camp or the end of preseason, everything has to do that.
- 37:44[SPEAKER_01]: And they fly out to Australia, Dill on Wednesday.
- 37:48[SPEAKER_01]: So they're practicing Monday, Tuesday, and Kyle Shenaan said they're gonna try to get a half practice in Wednesday and then fly out Wednesday.
- 37:56[SPEAKER_01]: So like you have to have all of this team assembled
- 38:03[SPEAKER_01]: So you're kind of going to be making a little bit difficult choices with your practice squad and everything because you've got to have your guys there now you can't and you've got to you're going to be flying to Australia by Wednesday.
- 38:16[SPEAKER_01]: So you're going into
- 38:18[SPEAKER_01]: shoot.
- 38:19[SPEAKER_01]: We fly out Sunday.
- 38:20[SPEAKER_01]: God, leave me.
- 38:22[SPEAKER_01]: I'm super pumped about Australia, but so much work to do before then, so much work to do before then.
- 38:29[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see how that goes, but like Niners got to make these choices.
- 38:33[SPEAKER_01]: You got to make the choice on George Kittle.
- 38:35[SPEAKER_01]: He has a practice, it like pads and
- 38:39[SPEAKER_01]: or take it a team snap yet you got it side by Wednesday.
- 38:42[SPEAKER_01]: Don't take them.
- 38:43[SPEAKER_01]: Please don't take them.
- 38:45[SPEAKER_01]: All your intro guys sit them at home.
- 38:46[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going on 35 hour flights, you know, 17 and a half there, 17 and a half back.
- 38:52[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do that.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do that.
- 38:54[SPEAKER_01]: So the 49ers kind of behind the eight ball a little bit because you've got to make all these decisions so fast.
- 39:00[SPEAKER_01]: It's
- 39:06[SPEAKER_01]: They're not excited about it right now, just kind of like I like man on the phone with all these, you know, companies, whatever and try to get things set up and it's stressful, but it's going to be awesome.
- 39:17[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it happens.
- 39:19[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, if you guys are out in Australia, man, we got events head over there at 40 hours rush road trip.com.
- 39:24[SPEAKER_01]: They are up right now.
- 39:25[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be partying in Australia, man.
- 39:28[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for the super chat.
- 39:30[SPEAKER_01]: The
- 39:32[SPEAKER_01]: G is me.
- 39:33[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I like it took me a second.
- 39:35[SPEAKER_01]: Can our old line handle both Donald and Garrett?
- 39:41[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the Aaron Donald news is a bummer.
- 39:44[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's it's he's two damn good.
- 39:48[SPEAKER_01]: He's just so good.
- 39:49[SPEAKER_01]: And is he got to return to the same style to play?
- 39:53[SPEAKER_01]: I doubt it.
- 39:54[SPEAKER_01]: But even if he's 80% 90% whatever,
- 39:57[SPEAKER_01]: It's still pretty damn special and you add to that defensive line, which is crazy.
- 40:03[SPEAKER_01]: You got to focus on your team as much as possible and, you know, week one can't get here soon enough.
- 40:10[SPEAKER_01]: Donald's got a big time losing record against the 49ers whenever he played with the Rams, but yeah, him and Garrett are incredible.
- 40:18[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I saw some posts today and it was like there's
- 40:27[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the Rams have two of them, and not only do they have two of them, they have five defense of player of the years between Aaron Donald and Freakin.
- 40:37[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, yeah, I mean, it's, it's just, it's crazy.
- 40:41[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to get out there.
- 40:44[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean,
- 40:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's funny, you know, I put out on Twitter right after they did the Jared Patterson trade, I was like, oh, yeah, this totally makes up for, you know, air Donald coming back.
- 40:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there we go.
- 40:57[SPEAKER_01]: If so, fact to tip for tat, you guys get Aaron Donald, we get Jared Patterson saying saying.
- 41:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's not that, but Kimbro, I did not miss your super chat.
- 41:07[SPEAKER_01]: I did miss your super chat, but I had it started.
- 41:09[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, it's hard to go back and forth with the updates and making sure I'm not miss speaking, I apologize, Kimbro.
- 41:16[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, thank you for your generosity in the super chat.
- 41:20[SPEAKER_01]: Faithful, got my ticket to September 20, home game, very cheap.
- 41:24[SPEAKER_01]: would love to meet if you can make it.
- 41:27[SPEAKER_01]: The fee is only hold up right now.
- 41:30[SPEAKER_01]: So excited about the meeting in 49er's family.
- 41:32[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 41:33[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to be there for the the Miami home opener game.
- 41:37[SPEAKER_01]: tell gates up right before the game and we open before all of the 49ers parking lots do we are off property but it's still walking distance just right over the little bridge there it's closer than the blue lot actually where we used to host our events but now we don't have people like to tell us what to do we do our own thing so come party with us we start way before the parking lots even open it's going to be an absolute blast so go get your tickets right now 49ers rushrochip.com can't wait to hang out with you mr. Kimbro you freaking legend you freaking
- 42:07[SPEAKER_01]: Here we go right here.
- 42:10[SPEAKER_01]: What do you get in Russia, kiddo to play the Rams and Australia?
- 42:14[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's a difference maker.
- 42:16[SPEAKER_01]: He's an all pro level player and has been will he return to that level.
- 42:21[SPEAKER_01]: You have to see, but.
- 42:25[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest issue with the Rams and this is kind of the schematic difference between and I think one of the shortfalls of, you know, Sean McVay and the Rams during his tenure there, kind of like how the 49ers don't value guards or safeties, Sean McVay does not value linebackers and if you look at any of the games where the 49ers had success against McVay, it's going at those linebackers in the passing game, I mean, it's it's incredible.
- 42:55[SPEAKER_01]: George Kittles better at that than anybody and division games are so big.
- 42:59[SPEAKER_01]: I am 100% like two George Kittles should not play till week three.
- 43:04[SPEAKER_01]: Like he hasn't even gone through team drills yet contact and you got to make that decision by Wednesday, so we'll see.
- 43:11[SPEAKER_01]: But if he plays, the Niners are a better team.
- 43:14[SPEAKER_01]: The tradeoff is man, is he going to get injured, you rushing back too fast, blah, blah,
- 43:23[SPEAKER_01]: I really, really hope that uh, yeah, he just waits, just plate cautious there.
- 43:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly, sir, guys, are we need players in January?
- 43:32[SPEAKER_01]: You don't need to rush them.
- 43:34[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, and dude, this is one of the players I don't like Brev and Jordan.
- 43:38[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the blocker.
- 43:40[SPEAKER_01]: He'd play the tongest role, but me and put him on the practice squad.
- 43:44[SPEAKER_01]: I would, I would love that.
- 43:47[SPEAKER_01]: I would love that.
- 43:48[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see what that is.
- 43:49[SPEAKER_01]: But the 53 man roster set and Africans, I'm excited.
- 43:54[SPEAKER_01]: I like a lot of the decisions that they made.
- 43:59[SPEAKER_01]: I love that they cut the punter and the long snapper and they'll get them back.
- 44:03[SPEAKER_01]: So like the 53's actually a 55 and then you look at the two pup guys.
- 44:08[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's a 57 and then you got your two IR to return guys.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's 59.
- 44:13[SPEAKER_01]: Shanna Han is sneaky, sneaky sir, like
- 44:17[SPEAKER_01]: I like that right here.
- 44:21[SPEAKER_01]: So just right, Aussies are going to name you either.
- 44:24[SPEAKER_01]: John O'er or Chappy.
- 44:26[SPEAKER_01]: I will answer to anything as long as it is respectful.
- 44:29[SPEAKER_01]: I've been called a lot worse in my time.
- 44:31[SPEAKER_01]: And I am just excited to get out there and meet some new people.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_01]: So many people that I've had interactions with.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_01]: I'm on a handful of shows and radio bits over in Australia the next coming week.
- 44:42[SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited, man.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be fun.
- 44:44[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a lot of fun and I'm excited.
- 44:47[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest negative to the roster cuts is definitely Bryson East and Sebastian Valdez.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest like, I don't really get it.
- 44:57[SPEAKER_01]: Jordan Walkins.
- 44:59[SPEAKER_01]: and Austin Pleasant's on IR designated to return.
- 45:03[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I feel like that's kind of a wasted spot, but because you cut Coralist waitmen, because you cut the long saffron John Weats, not really too much to get upset about because you got those two extra spots.
- 45:17[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Sebastian Valdez, Ed Bryson-Eason.
- 45:21[SPEAKER_01]: I really wish they could have found a way to keep one of them.
- 45:23[SPEAKER_01]: And man, I can't believe I'm saying this.
- 45:25[SPEAKER_01]: I got to apologize to Larry,
- 45:28[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of wish they would have kept to relative junior.
- 45:31[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he's played really, really well in the past year and I was not a looter guy, but he was put up some good tape, man.
- 45:39[SPEAKER_01]: He was put up some good tape.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_01]: Outside of that, Oakboro, Oakoronquo, I would be shocked if he returns Larry Worth.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_01]: I like Jacob Robinson probably more than I should, uh, hopefully they get a bring him back, Drake Nugent.
- 45:52[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a good backup center.
- 45:53[SPEAKER_01]: Only can't play guard though.
- 45:56[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and Khalil Dinkens.
- 45:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 45:57[SPEAKER_01]: Bring him back.
- 45:59[SPEAKER_01]: But overall, like, I'm not, I remember doing this show.
- 46:03[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is our 10th year.
- 46:04[SPEAKER_01]: This is episode 1,700 and 8.
- 46:07[SPEAKER_01]: We've done a lot of shows.
- 46:10[SPEAKER_01]: I remember being pissed off.
- 46:12[SPEAKER_01]: I cut down date several times where I'm just like I can't believe they did this is stupid like I get like that a lot I don't feel that way right now like I'm like all right like this is a solid 53 with upside it's a good that is it's the best roster in the NFL it is not it probably belongs to somebody in the division but this is a playoff caliper team
- 46:39[SPEAKER_01]: And I told this story a lot of times, but you know, way back in my coaching days and like People would be like, oh, you're going to win state.
- 46:46[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, we've got a team that can make it to the playoffs and then do some work.
- 46:49[SPEAKER_01]: Like You got to have a lot of things go your way injuries, calls ball bouncing your way whatever else like you want to be in the dance.
- 46:57[SPEAKER_01]: You want to be able to put yourself in that position.
- 47:01[SPEAKER_01]: I think the 49ers have done that.
- 47:03[SPEAKER_01]: And I like this roster.
- 47:05[SPEAKER_01]: Phil, what's up, man, appreciate you.
- 47:08[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for the super chatty says.
- 47:09[SPEAKER_01]: I bid saying, don't let Kittle on that plane.
- 47:13[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be hard to keep him off that plane, man.
- 47:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, he is just chomping at the bit.
- 47:17[SPEAKER_01]: He always plays great against the Rams.
- 47:19[SPEAKER_01]: I remember, was it his second season, was it 2018?
- 47:24[SPEAKER_01]: I was at the Rams game whenever he broke the all time tied in receiving record, which was awesome because that season sucked.
- 47:31[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we were just getting destroyed by everybody, but, uh, man.
- 47:37[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he can't let him on there, but if he is on there, hey, hey, let's go.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_01]: All right, you're big red.
- 47:44[SPEAKER_01]: Not with this DVL team.
- 47:46[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, anyway, anyway, it's what it is.
- 47:49[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, excited.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_01]: Stay tuned because there's going to be so many moves.
- 47:53[SPEAKER_01]: The initial 53 is set.
- 47:55[SPEAKER_01]: Now they're going to start building out the practice squad.
- 47:59[SPEAKER_01]: And again, they're they're going to be bringing guys back on this roster.
- 48:02[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to put at least to probably three or four guys on IR.
- 48:09[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's what's going to be happening really, really soon.
- 48:13[SPEAKER_01]: And so just creating more spots getting more guys on the active roster, all that kind of stuff.
- 48:19[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pumped to man, and this is a good roster.
- 48:21[SPEAKER_01]: Have to say thank you to our executive producers.
- 48:23[SPEAKER_01]: David Gilchory, Robbins 49er's Georgia Williams and Claire.
- 48:27[SPEAKER_01]: The 49er's 2026 roster is set initially.
- 48:32[SPEAKER_01]: It will be changed very, very soon.
- 48:34[SPEAKER_01]: But I like this team.
- 48:36[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very optimistic about what's to come.
- 48:39[SPEAKER_01]: Are they the best team in the NFL?
- 48:40[SPEAKER_01]: They are not.
- 48:41[SPEAKER_01]: But with this coaching staff, you get some breaks your way.
- 48:45[SPEAKER_01]: Who knows, you definitely do some damage.
- 48:47[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be a fun year.
