49ers Lose to Texans - Here's What Needs To Happen Now · Guy Football Focus with Guy Haberman

• 0:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you want good news coming out of the night or Texans game, the good news is that you don't need tray Hendrickson to upgrade this defense of line.
• 0:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were just on the field as a team 41 minutes on defense.
• 0:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: No sacks.
• 0:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They got nine sacks for the season.
• 0:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bryce Huff's got four he didn't play.
• 0:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nick Post has got two he didn't play.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, they have two sex on the year from active defensive linemen, Samo and Micah Williams.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not good enough.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they need to upgrade the defensive line fast.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't need to be the best player on the market or the second best player on the market.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: But they need help right now.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is their biggest problem.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, now we're judging them.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was their worst game.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought worse than the Jacksonville game.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville game was.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: painful in a very different way.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you go out and play good football and just lose, so be it, but you know, just behind the entire thing.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the 16 play drive to open the game for the Texan set the tone, just not a good game all around, bad game, bad effort, bad everything all around,
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, as the injuries continue and D winters was out for the game got hurt in the game, Jordan Elliott hurt in the game, other guys banged up, returned in the game, they just need more on the defensive line.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: They just need more on the defensive line.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: The secondary, it's asking a lot as it is a secondary, several issues and coverage today, but if you're not going to get a pass rush.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: you really put your secondary at a disadvantage and then either secondaries at a disadvantage and then the nitrogen disadvantage if that I can play from ahead or at least if the opponent's gonna play from two scores ahead because now they just run the ball on you and when they want to play action you're not going to get to them anyway it's just
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't feel like a disaster because it wasn't all at once, but it was their worst game, I thought.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they got to add on the defensive line, just to raise the floor.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're gonna be, we talked about this since week one, if you're gonna be this scrappy team, if you're gonna be the team that scratches and closets way, you can't also be the team that has a low floor.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: You got at least have a baseline of fundamentals of discipline, of pressure, and some days they have it, some days they don't.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Today was definitely a dump, but 41 minutes, 18 minutes of offense.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: There are some stats that, as the game evolved, become less of a thing, like time of possession, I was talking to somebody that day about,
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: How time of possession as a stat in college football got blown up by the chip Kelly Oregon docs like you used to be able to look at time of possession and go, oh, I know who dominated this game and then chip Kelly's offense in Oregon came along and they'd score in a minute and a half.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: They'd have multiple scoring drives of 90 seconds or two minutes, two and a half minutes.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you couldn't box score scout the game anymore.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think in the NFL, you know, time of possession still matters.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: field position is the one in the NFL that feels like less of a thing like the field position battle while it matters the fact that you can kick a field goal from 60 yards out or 55 yards out has made it matter a little less the fact that if you don't hit the landing zone the ball comes out to the 40 that is part of the field position battle so to speak.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: But like the idea that we'll just kick it away and pin them and you know they got to go the length of the fields like well not not necessarily I mean it still matters of course
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just different, and the kicking game this year has changed it, and then the kickoff game has has changed it too.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, something's changed, but time of possession when the other team's plus 23, that's that's pretty dammit.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I thought we saw the lack of depth on the defensive line really showed up.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh, you know, the injury to Dean winners.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It really shows up.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, the lack of kind of true frontline starting receivers really shows up, you know, it was suggested, who was I talking to?
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was a came inman on the show last week.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like maybe you want a defensive line, and you do a player for player trade, you know, John Jennings doesn't feel like he's going to be back next year.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So maybe you include him in a deal.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: The problem is, twofold one, he's not himself right now.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he didn't catch, you know, the deep ball tough catch, but they didn't make it, but he had the very tough catch down to the one you're in line to set up.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: a touchdown, making the main point game.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, like you are subtracting from your team in a significant way if you trade Juan Jennings for a defensive lineman.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not even saying you can trade Juan Jennings for a defensive lineman.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying you know, there's not a lot.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're kind of stuck.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now the good thing about this team is we've seen them play better than this.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think when you have a defensive line that doesn't get after the quarterback and you don't have depth on that defensive front,
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, if you're probably more susceptible on the road, the travel, the lack of noise for the opponent's offense, like it's just harder.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the good news, if you're the 49ers, is that the schedule is still the schedule.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: The schedule still gives you a chance.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said that after the Jags game, said it after the Bucks game, and I'll say it today after the Texas game.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: The rest of the division was on a buy this week.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So nobody added a loss or a win.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the next three road games, the 49ers play, come against the Giants who lost camscat of Luke today, the Cardinals and the Cleveland Browns.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And those three teams are combined six and 16.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now I don't, you know, Houston came in at what, two and four, you know, probably a better team than that.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're a better team than that.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll see how the season plays out.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: But,
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: The schedule math still works.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're your tough game against the Rams coming up.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's at home.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, you've got your play in three teams on the road, plus you get the Carolina Game Carolina is foreign for, which is probably a little above their capability.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But right now, if you just watch the nighters today, you'd say their records above their capability.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've seen them play better.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can get back to it.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, um,
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the next three road games are still games where you feel like, all right, you're not playing the bills, you're not playing the chiefs, you're not playing the Packers and that's still a good thing and and that still matters.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So from that standpoint, they're, you know, the other thing.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, all this stuff about the defensive line, and I said this against the, after the, um, maybe after the jazz game, that you, I do think you just feel the receiver issues.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like Ricky Pierce all was one of the best receivers in the NFL.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: truly one of the best receivers in the NFL in the first month, and, you know, right now, he's a whisper in the win right now.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And there is a rare opportunity, actually that's brewing here, for the nighters to get a boost from a guy that has a very complicated relationship with everybody right now.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how, I don't know if it's complicated with the team, but like from an outside standpoint, you know, watching them today, who did I think
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: or didn't make it tough catch whatever you want to call this brand and I you and brand and I you have a unique opportunity to kind of get some equity back because he has he has this window to step in and be a guy that everyone was it felt like you're like sick of everything going on with I you get all of a sudden he can come back and be a breath of fresh air save yours too strong but but be exactly what they need.
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: When it felt like for a while, he was not what they needed.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: He got his money and then it just felt like, you know, the after effects of it, you could never totally wash it off.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, now he's like, what does he do?
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can he get open against a quick pass rush?
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can he make plays down the field, contested coverage?
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: One on one, deep balls, like, you know, here's a guy, third and eleven with eight minutes left in the game and it goes through Jordan Watkins' hands.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: right through his hands.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a situation that is ripe for a guy who is established, for a guy who knows how to compete, and for a guy trying to prove something.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think if Brandon and I you comes back ready to prove something,
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: this team needs him desperately.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't, like, when things are going sideways, like, or challenging, I wouldn't say, in the individual day, the season went sideways.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the game went sideways.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the seasons gone sideways.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of adversity that are dealing with it.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But when you're in that situation, all of a sudden, like all that other stuff, about how much money you're making, becomes so secondary to can you, there's the team look better when you're on the field.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when you're a super bowl contender,
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: and you pay a guy a ton of money, then you need them to like, put you over the top.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that's not the situation, the footing, right now they just need a guy to show up on every snap, to block without coming in the penalty, to catch 50, 50 balls, to get open against pressure, and make some plays and inject some life.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I think in adversity, you see these chances
• 9:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And even if there was a little bit of frustration in the marriage and you thought maybe what's the word, it revocable.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Differences, it's like, well, God, are you coming back with the right attitude?
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I think from an organizational standpoint, you need him right now.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: if you can get a receiver who comes right back in and is better than everything else you got.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And your margin is like this.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like on a day you look terrible.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a one score game in the fourth quarter.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't you welcome that?
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: The money's already spent.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: The checks are cashed.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's like that part's done.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And right now, he's not a guy that you need to help you put you over the top and win a super old.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: You just need to be better on offense.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I see I hope he takes advantage of it.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really hope he takes advantage of it.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They need him to.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it can hopefully reset.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just kind of the way that whole situation feels.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's that's almost like separate.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because you want to, you know, whatever happens, this year, you want to go into the off season with what is the deal?
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is I you back?
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is it reset?
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is he helping you build in 2026?
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Or does the situation not really take care of itself and it's still just kind of weird or he's still at his productive or whatever.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's not just about like him ramping up hitting the offseason the way Ricky Pierce all hit the offseason last year.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's about like getting something this year.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I, you know, he can step it and get you something this year.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, as it relates to trade, Hendrixon, big loss for the Bengals today, right?
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: They win the game.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're foreign three.
• 10:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They lose to the judge in horrific fashion.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They give up 23 points to the fourth quarter of the New York Jets, who were previously oh and seven.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So no more windless teams in the NFL.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then they play Chicago next week.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, that's the last chance they're going to have to watch trade Hendrixon before they trade them.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you know, one more game before the deadline, which is November 4, they play Chicago and November 2nd, and they hit their buy.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you know, you lose the Chicago and how can you really, you know, justify not trading this guy who you're not resigning, who's going to be a free agent, you got to trade him.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're right to hold, they're right to say we're not trading him, and again, I'm not even sure that at this point, that's the right guy for the 49ers because is this the
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what's going to cost?
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're not trading a third round pick.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that was a significant game today.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: In terms of just making it so that maybe Cincinnati is a little more likely to trade the guy.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, next point.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Same as the branded IU conversation a little bit.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: We get the Brock party and the opportunity for him.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: The money secondary.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you get this team better when you come back?
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Mac Jones has been
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Good, like to say the least, really impressive.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I want you going, can the quarterback return, Brock, and make the team just a little bit better?
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you get a little bit from IUK or a lot, actually, from IUK?
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you get a little bit better from Brock Party?
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you make this team marginally better?
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, which matters when you win in the margins and, you know, largely lose of the margins.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I see it as a similar opportunity for Brock to come back and be like, all right, we've been to this adversity.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is not the year that I wanted because of the injuries.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not the year the team wanted.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But can we put together something that makes everybody go, oh, yeah, that's the guy.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: We forgot about him because he got hurt last year wasn't great.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: You pay him in the off season and all of a sudden expectations change the floor rises.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's good enough is different when you're making 50 million than when you're making one million, but now a lot of that stuff becomes secondary because a lot of it is just can you go beat the giants.
• 12:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you beat the cults on the road on one of the level?
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you beat the prounds?
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can you win another divisional game against the Rams?
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Winning that game in LA was incredible.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just like winning the game at home against Atlanta.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you lose what you've built up if you don't come back and beat them again.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's gonna be really hard.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be really hard.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: The good news for this team is they have responded multiple times to adversity.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't, for a second question, whether or not they can dig deep.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just question whether or not they can hold up on defense, and that's why they need to make a trade, that's why they need to make a trade.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: There is so much youth, I think the other part of it is there's so much youth that you think can be a part of your future, that you need to create an environment where they're
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Malik Mustafa play it as best.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don't treat him like he's Fred Warner.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got to carry your defense.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don't treat Michael Williams.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Michael, like what a loss for him this year that he's not playing next to Nick Bosa for 17 weeks.
• 14:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a big deal.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: The amount of confidence that you get from being able to just make the right play and that's good enough as opposed to having to make the extraordinary player, being the best player on their defense of wine.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think there's so much value in that.
• 14:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they got to create an environment on defense where they're young guys are still getting that where they don't have to be perfect, but they can still make plays in crunch time, fine ways to win and walk away, going like, we got better today and we did it with a win.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like what you can't let it let it become is a season that slips away.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: When you start, that's like that fourth quarter against the Texans game, little symbolic.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the second half of the season, look like the fourth quarter of that Texan's game, where every Sunday or Monday, you're sitting there going like, just wore out, didn't have enough to get the or season, got nothing left, and five and two becomes five and three becomes, you know, six and six, seven and nine, and the thing slips away.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you just ran out of gas.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: When you've got young guys, you have an opportunity in formative years to set a foundation for the future.
• 15:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you got to give them enough ammo,
• 15:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: to have them walk away from the season with confidence, even when they're making mistakes.
• 15:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, so I look at Jordan Walkins in that way too, but like we've seen it receive her on this team as a rookie, it's just, it's so hard to make an immediate impact.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: But these defensive guys, like Tatum Bethoon, Tatum Bethoon needs to have a chance to win games in addition to play a lot.
• 15:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, at the end of the year, he might lead the team in tackles because somebody has to lead the team in tackles, but, you know, you don't want it to be like, well, he had 15 tackles a day because nobody can make a stop up front, you want him to make him plays in crunch time and in games that matter and I think that's another reason why you kind of.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh, it, there are five and three team, you know, whatever you think about the way they, well, not whatever you think we all think the same thing about the way they used it was bad.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's still a five and three football team and I think now.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: And maybe, you know, if there were six and two, I probably would feel a little bit differently, but if five and three.
• 16:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: That now feels like the time to make a move.
• 16:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Get the reinforcements in before it's five and four.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: You still have a chance because of just the way, because of your schedule.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to play the Giants right now.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know the Giants beat Philly.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're two and six and they just let's splash Scataboo.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So what can you do to reinforce the team to make sure you go win that game?
• 16:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And as bad as this feels, all of a sudden you're six and three!
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I just, I can't get over so many things about this team.
• 16:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't get over the injuries.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't get over it feels like awful luck, although as I said last week, it's also incredible luck that you have Mac Jones.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then I can't get over them just the undeniable math problem of the season.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Which is you lose a game, you feel like crap, and you look up and go, oh.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are we capable of winning the next game?
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think we're capable of being in the giants, right?
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So let's make sure you beat the giants.
• 17:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's such a, when you're in these situations, I think it's just so much about putting one foot in front of the other.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so like, okay, how do you make the team better this week to beat the New York giants?
• 17:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the thing.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And no one will be blown, like you beat the giants, no one's got all my guide, crown them.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you're six and three.
• 17:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just to keep playing ahead of the chains, keep playing ahead of the chains with the math.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think through that you got to reinforce this defensive line because it's just someone's going to get hurt next week.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to go injury free the rest of the year anyway.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even if somebody comes back, I think it's a biggest thing.
• 17:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Reinforce the defensive line and get, you know, kiddo mates has made such a difference in two games.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: You got him back.
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can I euk back get I euk back it's I don't think it's this week but get I euk back and I hope that he sees that he can be a shot in the arm for the team used got to make sure your records good enough to give that guy a chance say what you want like he's one of the highest pet paid most important he's one of the highest paid pleasure team because he's one of your most important players and a lot of you written them off.
• 18:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he's one of your most important players.
• 18:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: The second number of 11 puts that jersey back over the pads and walks through the tunnel.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's one of your most important players on a team that needs him, that needs him desperately.
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: The calfry was under 100 yards for the first time this year.
• 18:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Overall.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: They need him desperately.
• 18:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the Texans were ready that that like shift Christian out, the one that picked up the third down in the red zone against Atlanta to set up the touchdown that put the Niners up tan where you shift Christian out, but he's still on the same plane as the quarterback.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then he runs it and cut, I think they're ready for that today.
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you need another wrinkle and kiddles another wrinkle.
• 19:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I eukes another wrinkle.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe parties another wrinkle.
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's got to come back and prove it.
• 19:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, prove that he can make good decisions and stay healthy.
• 19:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if that's going to happen this week, but it's just a weird year because you feel so the losses that they've had are just painful.
• 19:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that Jacksonville loss was brutal.
• 19:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: This loss was brutal.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tampa was bad, less brutal, and yet you look up and go.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not done.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, that'll do it for this.
• 19:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got to go watch at Colts Titans on a check it on that.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, for the South Divisions are typically not good divisions.
• 19:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jags, the Falcons, the Texans, the Bucks.
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: But right now, the Ford owners are two and three against the South divisions that they've played, with the losses to the Jags, the Bucks and the Texans.
• 19:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Who would have thought that coming into the year?
• 20:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: At this point, your three losses would be to, you know, two AMC South and the one NFC South.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the Bucks came on the road would have been one, but, you know, you still got Tennessee and Indy in back-to-back weeks.
• 20:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that'll be an interesting stretch.
• 20:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll be I'll be back on on radio for those in in December.
• 20:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm looking forward to those to those games, but you know, I just hope that they can they can create enough.
• 20:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know enough creative wins where those are playoff implication games and and I still think they can they can they can do that and and make this Texans law say a distant memory but they got they got work to do I got worked this week and you know another another road game so I now that said I would imagine it's a pretty
• 20:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: But this is like there are a lot of matter fans that this one, I would imagine is a pretty, pretty pro.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: 49er game in terms of crowd of New York this week, but we'll see.
• 21:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right y'all, that's it for this later.
