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, Fayford is absolutely incredible to be with you guys today?
- 0:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's Sunday, some days are football time now.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's training camp, things are going.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: I am so pumped about today's show.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna be going over the 49ers foundation.
- 0:51[SPEAKER_01]: what who these core players that kind of embody, maybe not the all stars, maybe not the pro bowlers, maybe not the all pro players, but the nuts and bolts, the mean potatoes of the 49ers roster, continuing our roster countdown series, we're going from number 13.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_01]: to play or nine men we have been doing this started at play or ninety one uh... it's been an absolute journey we have two more installments after this the like man we we are rocking this forty-nine is roster count down it's an off day for the forty-nineers they will not a technical off date it's a walk-through slash jog through practice for the forty hours not open to the media so you're not going to be getting um... a lot of updates all those things then tomorrow i will be back at training camp
- 1:36[SPEAKER_01]: for the full, the quote unquote hard day of the week for the 49er.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll be there.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_01]: We will be bringing a, you know, practice live report.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_01]: However,
- 1:47[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're going to continue with the format we did yesterday where I'm out at Santa Clara for practice.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_01]: I had jetty home during the 49ers press conference after practice then we go live after that.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think it just doesn't work well with the new 49ers schedule of going straight to press conferences soon as practice ends.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_01]: I used to be able to squeeze
- 2:10[SPEAKER_01]: my report in before they went live, but it kind of changed the tempo of it.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_01]: So we will be going live tomorrow, probably an hour after practice actually concludes.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be back at the mothership for that.
- 2:23[SPEAKER_01]: And I just think I can give a better report.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_01]: I can answer questions better.
- 2:26[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it just stems to better overall production and whatever else.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_01]: So

- 4:08[SPEAKER_01]: Footy fan.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_01]: Hi John, watching from Montreal.

- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 4:16[SPEAKER_01]: The move is stressful.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_01]: It's still going.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_01]: We are in.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we are living out of boxes and suitcases.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_01]: We got a long ways to go.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_01]: And it's hard because we're both working full time.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_01]: We don't play days off very well.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to make it work.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to make it work.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_01]: Malik, what's up, man?
- 4:34[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate you, V. Thank you for the super chat.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_01]: Injuries and great content from JC, the inevitable's
- 4:41[SPEAKER_01]: dude, it is rough.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_01]: And there was, I want to take just a quick second.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_01]: Because Ryan, I'm sure I'm going to pronounce his name incorrectly.
- 4:53[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Pugnetti, Pugnetti, an awesome last name.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Chapman this boring.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_01]: He ran the numbers.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_01]: Use an Aaron Schatz justice gross games loss per season
- 5:08[SPEAKER_01]: And so he went all the way back to 2018.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not just a Kyle Shanahan thing, but it has been magnified.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: And he just calculated how the 49ers fit which statistics can kind of say whatever it is.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_01]: You want them to say, I can go back to my AP stats days.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_01]: Like I get you can manipulate these numbers.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_01]: But if we just look at it, he went 2008 all the way to 2025.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_01]: But if we just look at Shanahan's 2017 show up.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_01]: From 2017, 10th most injured, 2018, 7th most injured out of 32 teams, right?
- 5:45[SPEAKER_01]: Each year, 2019, 6th most injured, 2020 most injured, 2021, 4th most injured, 2022, 9th most injured, 2023, the one anomaly,
- 5:57[SPEAKER_01]: Fourth healthy is team.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_01]: That's whenever you just skate through the regular season and play off.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you go to the Super Bowl, barely losing overtime.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_01]: You had one anomaly, fourth most healthy team at the NFL in 2023, 2024, most injured, last year, fifth most injured, and through training camp, most injured team.
- 6:15[SPEAKER_01]: Most injured team already.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_01]: And so he calculated all these, the odds to hit those numbers, 1 in 41.8 million.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_01]: It is beyond luck.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_01]: It is beyond all footballs of violence.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_01]: Sport, it is beyond, oh, sometimes injuries happen.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_01]: It's beyond all of those things.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_01]: It is gross negligence.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_01]: with the way in which now keep in mind during all of those horrible years you have decided to promote one person from within that has been here since 2017.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_01]: And Justin Perry is now the leader of your health and fitness staff.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta be kidding me, man.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_01]: like you promoted from within now the shenna hand loyalty program is undefeated and if if Kyle loves you ain't going anywhere you ain't going anywhere and Dustin Perry is the top of that list and it's not all on him definitely not I mean shoot this is track back to twenty two thousand eight you're talking to span of multiple headquarters you're talking to span of not just that Levi's you're going back to candlestick you're not just substation not just all those things
- 7:34[SPEAKER_01]: it's insanity.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_01]: It isn't sanity that you have promoted from within with those results.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_01]: That is the opposite of a meritocracy.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_01]: And I would argue, my biggest injuries are going to happen.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not one of those every single time an injury happens.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_01]: I flip out.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_01]: Soft tissue
- 8:02[SPEAKER_01]: a PCL injury that happened in 2020, like last year, September and you're just now dealing with it, that is an indictment.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_01]: The re-entries to so many different players, that is an indictment.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_01]: Bone bruises, rolling ankles.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: I would even argue torn ACLs at times, not really a true indictment, but the losing multiple players to hamstring cash rings and re-enters to what they currently had, that is the issue to me.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the just, yeah, that's your fault.
- 8:33[SPEAKER_01]: The 49ers, that is their fault.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll stand by that.
- 8:39[SPEAKER_01]: You got to shake things up so that you don't get the same results.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_01]: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you could argue, let me put my bootlicker costume on.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the 40 hours of change up there, practice habits and routines consistently.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing something brand new this year.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_01]: The easy day, medium day, walk through day, hard day day off.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_01]: They've never done that before.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_01]: And this is a new implementation.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_01]: They are adjusting.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_01]: They used to do three days on one day off with the vet day built in there for the all stars, right?
- 9:15[SPEAKER_01]: So they're changing that in work.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: So now you're changing.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: So they are adapting some things.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_01]: But the lack of a chat to Johnny Dell.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of championing and he's leading this charge.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_01]: I'll follow Johnny Dell into the depths.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Captain, by Captain.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_01]: care and preventative injury care in the off season is leading to where they are now.
- 9:42[SPEAKER_01]: It's where it is.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_01]: It's a bootlicker costume.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a bootlicker.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_01]: I get, I get, yeah, I will criticize the team.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: And I have no qualms with that.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_01]: Now I do an ab thankful that Kyle Shannon
- 10:04[SPEAKER_01]: does not.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_01]: And now to Sean Stripley has got hamstring tightness.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you're hoping it's just tightness and not a strain to raise out two to four weeks.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_01]: We'll to Sean Stripley be out there practice tomorrow.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_01]: I probably would not.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_01]: If if it's tight, let them rest for let them take this day off.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I would rest him until the next installment, go out there and see, put them through a mild workout the next four days stretch and not this one.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: What's up Phil?
- 10:34[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate you, man.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, kind of it.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_01]: It's a mess.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's a mess.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_01]: Now.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to why we are here today.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_01]: The amount of work that has been put in to this entire roster countdown series and kind of everything that we're working on.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_01]: Just have to say thank you to Ben Josh, Zach, they've helped us.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is a process.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know, we have 96 pages of notes just on this form.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: We have more Google docs where there's other notes and other scribbles and all that stuff.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_01]: So let's start.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_01]: We're doing 13 players, 13 to nine as we count them down.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what's up, man?
- 11:12[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, San?
- 11:12[SPEAKER_01]: Look at this, man.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_01]: We got all kinds of fun people in the chat.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_01]: I love it, I love it, I love it.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what's up, notorious, appreciate you, man.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_01]: Number 13, by far a fan favorite.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_01]: And I would argue, one of if not the best, most recent, draft pick of the 49ers, like the criticism is, man, you got no home runs.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta go to Brock Perti and then before Brock Perti, I would say, who Funka maybe?
- 11:39[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's been no home runs.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_01]: I would be bees.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_01]: I'm cool to say, this is a triple if not a home run traffic.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_01]: Number 13 on the roster countdown series.
- 11:50[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Pooley, are you kidding me?
- 11:53[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Pony has been unbelievable going into his third season wears jersey number 77 aesthetically pleasing jersey number by the way six five three 13 he's 26 years old last year was number nine on this list now he has done nothing to lower.
- 12:11[SPEAKER_01]: His ranking, the 49ers just went and had it.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so Deezu, a lot of different players that are going to surpass him.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of that's just positional importance, right, Dominique plays guard, plays right guard, left guard's usually more valued.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_01]: But he came in as Ricky Irbus number 31, jumped up to number nine, settled on number 13.
- 12:31[SPEAKER_01]: Last year was a little bit of a rough year for him because he fought through an entry at PCL injury.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_01]: 49ers hoped what happened to Dominique Poonie would also happen to Ricky Pierce all did not and again if I'm given a new wants take if I'm allowed Hey Dominique Poonie had a PCL that happened before September.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_01]: He played through it.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_01]: It got better.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_01]: He improved Why is it weird to think Ricky Pierce all's the couldn't do the same thing?
- 13:05[SPEAKER_01]: And there we go.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_01]: We're throwing up the nuance arguing against our own thoughts, but it's my job to put that information out there, it's your job to decipher where you what you want to do with it.
- 13:15[SPEAKER_01]: That's up to you.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Dominique Poonie played at Central Missouri then transferred to Kansas for two years to kind of up the competition level and it worked.
- 13:25[SPEAKER_01]: A Missouri guy born in St. Charles went to Francis Howell High School in Coteville, Missouri.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: Play football, volleyball, ranch rack.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_01]: His two brothers Derek Devin played football as well as Central Missouri.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_01]: His brother Derek was an untrapted free agent drafted by the cowboy spent some time in the NFL.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_01]: Never got real playing time.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_01]: sister, I mean, just family of athletes, right?
- 13:46[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Pune's sister was a basketball player at Illinois State in the Eastern Michigan.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_01]: His cousin is AJ Eponesa who's played in the NFL as an edge player for a while.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Pune didn't allow a second high school two years and then two years in college he didn't allow a set.
- 14:02[SPEAKER_01]: Polynesian finalist, uh, player the year in 2023, drafted by the
- 14:11[SPEAKER_01]: It was drafted the 40 hours in the third round, 86 overall on the 2024 draft.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_01]: And here's what's awesome, 40 hours traded up for him.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: I know we complain about a lot of the draft trades that the 40 hours do.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_01]: This was awesome.
- 14:24[SPEAKER_01]: And you trade up with Philly.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people are like, oh, how are you, Rosbin?
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's one of the greatest general managers, drafters, and NFL history, not just today, a history, literally built two Super Bowl winning roster that are completely different.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_01]: within the span of 10 years incredible, but the 49ers got the best of them.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_01]: John Lynch, Kyle Shannon, got the best of how he rose within the straight.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: They gave up pick 94 and 132 to jump up eight spots to pick 86 overall.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the Eagles, they got J-Lix Hunt, great player, good player.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_01]: See on a Valkyrie, never really paying doubt.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_01]: He was a hybrid safety slash running back, which is weird.
- 15:04[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Jalex Hunt's awesome.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_01]: One of the better players in this round, but he's not Dominique Poonie.
- 15:10[SPEAKER_01]: Um, now other notable pick picks in that third round.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_01]: Katelyn Bullick, Bullick, where eight picks ahead of Dominique Poonie, Matt Goncaves, Delmar Glaze.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Poonie's up there with all of them.
- 15:22[SPEAKER_01]: If not better than all of them.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_01]: Now the player, the position, right guard again.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_01]: You get Dr. Little bit because
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: Right guard is not a premium position in the NFL, just not, but it doesn't change the fact that Dominique Pony has just become a stalwart.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: He's only been with the 49ers two years.
- 15:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's going into year three.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_01]: Niners don't pay guards.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm a little worried about.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_01]: I hope they extend them and keep him if that he is a foundational player for the next round.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: Like can he carry in and usher in?
- 15:53[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of that next wave of players whenever God forbid Trent Williams, Christian McAfrey, George Kittle, those guys may be have retired and moved on.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Poonie might be another guy that could eventually be a 10 year minor, right?
- 16:06[SPEAKER_01]: I know we're only in the year three we're jumping ahead a little bit.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_01]: I want them to build around Dominique Poonie.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he could be one of those carry over players.
- 16:15[SPEAKER_01]: He's such a stud man.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_01]: Poonie is currently ranked 13th highest valuable player from that 2024 class.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_01]: He and Bucky Irving are the only players that weren't drafted in the first or second round that can save that.
- 16:29[SPEAKER_01]: Niners, I mean, this might not be a home run draft choice.
- 16:32[SPEAKER_01]: He's not a proble or yet.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_01]: He's not all pro player yet, but damn.
- 16:35[SPEAKER_01]: It's it.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_01]: It's a double at minimum.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's closer to a triple could eventually be a home run style pick.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_01]: Dominic Poonie needs to be champion.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_01]: And he needs to be one of the first names out of my mouth.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_01]: And all Niners fans mouth whenever they say like, man, who at the Niners drafted lately?
- 16:51[SPEAKER_01]: That's been good.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_01]: Dominic Poonie.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Dominique Pune, Brock Perti, those are your answers.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_01]: That is what it is.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_01]: So, he's going into his third season.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_01]: He started 34 games, played 34 games, started 34 games, that's incredible.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_01]: Given up five sex and two years, it's not horrible.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_01]: Started off last season struggled with the PCL.
- 17:16[SPEAKER_01]: He was not right, played way too high.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_01]: He got off balance too much, but as the season progressed, and he got better.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_01]: Once you got to about week seven, we get week nine,
- 17:24[SPEAKER_01]: Pernie, Dominique Poonie have all returned and can he build off that?
- 17:29[SPEAKER_01]: He's like great training camp yesterday.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_01]: He was awesome Just turned into a staple pick and can he pick up where he left off and then build on that that's what you're hoping for You know you look at his stats last year two stacks allowed one quarterback hit 33 hurries.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_01]: That's probably the The negative is Brock pretty mitigates
- 17:50[SPEAKER_01]: a lot of those hurries because he can escape very, very well.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_01]: Matt Jones did not.
- 17:56[SPEAKER_01]: 67.9 run blocking grade 66.3 pass blocking grade.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_01]: not amazing, not bad, both of those are above starter replacement level grades.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the proble category.
- 18:10[SPEAKER_01]: He's just not there yet.
- 18:11[SPEAKER_01]: He's on the fringe of that.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_01]: And if it takes to step forward, then you're talking proble.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_01]: He takes two big steps forward, then you're talking man.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_01]: He might now start getting some all provotes, which would be huge.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_01]: He's made $2.8 million
- 18:29[SPEAKER_01]: right guard.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_01]: He is the guy.
- 18:32[SPEAKER_01]: He's that guy.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_01]: So Dominique Poonie comes at number 13.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate everybody.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what comments we got on Poonie.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right here.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_01]: Poonie could be an all pro this year.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_01]: I think all pro is rough because you have to have an established name for the sports writers.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_01]: The sports writers determine the all pro.
- 18:52[SPEAKER_01]: They don't watch guard play.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_01]: You have to have a recognized reputation heading into the season.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_01]: It's not necessarily about quality of play.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_01]: Dominique Pune could put up an all-pro season, but until he's got a proble behind his name, he's not going to be an all-pro.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_01]: There's flaws in the system, ladies and gentlemen.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_01]: Who would have guessed?
- 19:16[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't even think even if Dominique Pune played in an all-pro year,
- 19:22[SPEAKER_01]: I don't believe Dominique Puni would receive all provotes.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe one or two, but not enough to be an all pro.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to get that proble, not first.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_01]: Then sports riders across the nation understand who he is.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_01]: And then, then he could get that.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, look at this gap.
- 19:41[SPEAKER_01]: The Puni, sure, the Punisher, but with Puni in there, I like it.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Ron Burgundy.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, man, appreciate you, NH9 is appreciate you.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Malik, your new odds is why I give you my money, John.
- 19:52[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate it.
- 19:54[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not here for narratives.
- 19:56[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_01]: It is very easy to stick to it.
- 19:59[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'm guilty that sometimes it may be all humans are.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: We're like, I stake, this is where I stand on this issue and I'm gonna defend it contrary to opposite information.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_01]: I don't wanna be that guy.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_01]: I wanna be able to change my opinions.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_01]: It sucks whatever my opinions are validated in their negative ones, but I appreciate you and Malik right here right side of the line might just be okay with puny and because I would say better than okay I think both of those are plus levels starters outside of the pro bull right I think McKinvets is closer to pro bull than puny is
- 20:39[SPEAKER_01]: But McKinvits is multi-year starter that's where it's going to be.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: Maurice, John Ware's table, going to be on the list.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_01]: We're talking to you about a day.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_01]: He's on the list today.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_01]: I will not say where.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_01]: I will not say where.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_01]: He will be on the list.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_01]: That is where I promise you is there.
- 20:56[SPEAKER_01]: I'll look at this.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_01]: Vicki, what's up?
- 20:58[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_01]: Happy Sunday, brother, taking a break from wedding planning to say hello, Vicki, what's up?
- 21:03[SPEAKER_01]: Sis, shout out to you at Riot.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations to you guys, by the way.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_01]: Can't wait for y'all's wedding dates.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_01]: Gonna be an absolute blast.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_01]: Y'all deserve the world.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_01]: Two of the greatest people I have come to know.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_01]: Family members now.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_01]: I want to say honorary, not Chapmanites.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather be Morgan.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_01]: her family is off the charts.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
- 21:24[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 21:24[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to number 12.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to go into a diatribe again on this player.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_01]: I know I did last time.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_01]: My favorite 49er.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even close.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_01]: Drake Green Law comes in number 12.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_01]: Now, he was not on this count down series last year, but we can go back to 2022.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_01]: The very first time we did this, he was 16.
- 21:44[SPEAKER_01]: 2023 was 14.
- 21:45[SPEAKER_01]: 2020, sorry, 2023, he was 14.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_01]: 2024 is 2021, he was 21, gosh, I'm getting ahead of myself.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: This year he comes up 12.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_01]: We saw the difference it makes when Drake Green Law's not on this defense.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_01]: When there was at 54 and no 57 out there, it wasn't anything reminiscent of the 49ers defense.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_01]: Drake Greenlaw matters.
- 22:10[SPEAKER_01]: He changes everything.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_01]: The law.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_01]: Where's Jersey number 57, six foot, two, 30s, 29 years old?
- 22:18[SPEAKER_01]: He's still got more.
- 22:19[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing that people kind of forget is that Drake Greenlaw, you know, they got drafted
- 22:29[SPEAKER_01]: You know, back whenever guys would come out and they were 21, they were 22, they were those things because man, Drake Greenlaw and Fred Warner are 29 years old.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_01]: Like they get lumped in with kiddo, kiddos, three years older than both of them.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_01]: These guys could play longer.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Drey's had a lot more injuries.
- 22:51[SPEAKER_01]: Then Fred Warner has, but I'm telling you right now, Drake Reno has got a lot of football left in him.
- 22:59[SPEAKER_01]: If he wants it, if he wants it, he's had such a great career.
- 23:03[SPEAKER_01]: He's a mast.
- 23:05[SPEAKER_01]: generational wealth.
- 23:06[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see here.
- 23:07[SPEAKER_01]: I got $32 million for his career.
- 23:11[SPEAKER_01]: Way to go five seven.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_01]: And he's taken friendly team deals.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't last year, but he did the stitch in way before when he extended in season.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_01]: I'll look at this Vicki.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate the super chat.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_01]: Dre will always be your favorite.
- 23:23[SPEAKER_01]: His level of passion elevates everyone around.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_01]: And it's the story, man.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_01]: Like do it.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a foster parent.
- 23:30[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
- 23:30[SPEAKER_01]: Like I'm a doctor parent.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_01]: This is a foster kid that broke the cycle that that is what my life is about it.
- 23:38[SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't share a lot of my family history is rough.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_01]: It is not pleasant.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, shoot every single brother and sister.
- 23:46[SPEAKER_01]: I have except for one.
- 23:47[SPEAKER_01]: There's nine of us.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_01]: Um, overdosed or imprisoned.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_01]: me and one other one got out.
- 23:54[SPEAKER_01]: So two out of nine, not good.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_01]: Breaking the cycle was everything.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that that's just all I wanted to do.
- 24:01[SPEAKER_01]: Like I didn't want, you know, my own kids.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_01]: We weren't able to the wife and I sadly.
- 24:07[SPEAKER_01]: And man, we decided, hey, let's let's give kids home.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have
- 24:13[SPEAKER_01]: And that's exactly what Drake Greenlaw needed and got and broke the cycle and changed things.
- 24:19[SPEAKER_01]: And now it's like one of the greatest humans off the field, but you put them on the field.
- 24:23[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to mess you up.
- 24:25[SPEAKER_01]: His real name is Kiontrade J. Kwon Drake Greenlaw, freaking badass name.
- 24:31[SPEAKER_01]: play that Arkansas and when he was eight years old he grew up in group homes, shelters, bounce-around foster care, all those things whenever he's 14.
- 24:41[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm in think about it from eight to 14.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_01]: Some of the most formidable years of your life, this dude's living in group homes.
- 24:50[SPEAKER_01]: At 14, he met Brian early shout out to the early family defensive coach at Fayetteville high school in the early family just invited Greenlaw to live with them and then eventually adopted him after he turned 18 to make him part of the family like how beautiful is that man and like dude I think that's like I'm I was terrible football player dude.
- 25:11[SPEAKER_01]: I was awful.
- 25:12[SPEAKER_01]: I was a captain and started and whatever, but for like a terrible three A school in Texas that there were more than four games.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_01]: But like, do this guy, this is why I got into coaching the coaches in my life.
- 25:25[SPEAKER_01]: If I had to like rank like five of probably seven of the top 10 humans that helped me kind of get out and break the cycle myself, it was football coaches.
- 25:37[SPEAKER_01]: And so like, I remember we were in grad school.
- 25:40[SPEAKER_01]: I was going to school to be a college professor, studying economics,
- 25:44[SPEAKER_01]: which I enjoyed that and the wife just had a simple question like man if you could do anything forget about money what would you do and I was just like to go to high school football you kidding me it was like the easiest question answer and Jim was like well then that's what you're going to do and that's what I did for 16 years and I loved every single moment of it it was awesome because I wanted to return what had been given
- 26:09[SPEAKER_01]: It's funny because like whenever I get to know people and they learn a little bit about my family history and stuff They're like man, what made you different.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_01]: I always say the same thing.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_01]: It's two answers football and girls.
- 26:20[SPEAKER_01]: That was it like those were my two things I cared about Like football and girls that that was it that got me through high school college to where I didn't want to get in trouble
- 26:32[SPEAKER_01]: because that would mess up my football play, right?
- 26:35[SPEAKER_01]: And I needed money and a car, it'd be able to go around so that I can spit on Jason girls.
- 26:42[SPEAKER_01]: So it was work and football, that's all I did.
- 26:44[SPEAKER_01]: And that got me out of trouble.
- 26:45[SPEAKER_01]: Thankfully, I didn't have any Chapman's running around.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_01]: Got lucky there.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_01]: But, dude, you learn about this story of Drake Greenlaw on the early family and it's just inspiring.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's incredible.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_01]: I say I'm not going to do a die drive on freaking Drake Greenlaw on, of course.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_01]: I can't help it.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_01]: I can't help it.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_01]: So, back to Drake Greenlaw, he was a corner back in high school and he was a corner back in college.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_01]: You wonder why his coverage is so good as a linebacker.
- 27:12[SPEAKER_01]: uh... led his team to back to back seven eight state champions uh... pay a bill high school and of Arkansas then he moves to strong safety dead track and field all these different things was a team captain goes signs with Arkansas as a freshman all american in the SEC SEC defensive freshman year due to show up balldown in the SEC from day one
- 27:39[SPEAKER_01]: just like he did in the NFL, whenever he got to the NFL.
- 27:43[SPEAKER_01]: SEC, all freshman team, you name it, you name it.
- 27:45[SPEAKER_01]: He won all kinds of awards in 2019 with the Niners.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_01]: He was the recipient of the 49ers Thomas, Harry, and Memorial Award.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_01]: This is an award voted on by the coaches.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_01]: He's, everybody loves him.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_01]: You've heard Kyle Shanahan say he's my favorite player.
- 28:03[SPEAKER_01]: He is Mike Tyson with the 49ers uniform.
- 28:08[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, just the violence he drafted 2019 the best 49ers draft you could argue maybe ever Kyle Shanahan for sure.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_01]: Bosa, Debo, Greenlaw, Kevin Gibbons who's now your starting defense of in joking kind of.
- 28:26[SPEAKER_01]: They drafted them in the fifth round another fifth round.
- 28:32[SPEAKER_01]: At the back end of 2018 right before at the end of training camp there about to do the roster trim down from 91 to 53.
- 28:40[SPEAKER_01]: It might have been one of those years where it was staged where you're going like 65 to 53 or whatever.
- 28:46[SPEAKER_01]: But they trade Dakota Watson who was a French player to the Broncos Dakota Watson in a six rounder and they got a fifth in return.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_01]: My favorite style trades that helped the Niners get back to doing that.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and I think they have the roster to do that with these guys.
- 29:01[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, man, we got to keep one of these two guys package them to a lesser team to coat a Watson in the six to the Broncos.
- 29:07[SPEAKER_01]: You get back a fifth.
- 29:07[SPEAKER_01]: You had Drake Greenlaw.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my gosh.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, two players stand out in that fifth round.
- 29:12[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, Drake Greenlaw in Andrew van Ginkl.
- 29:15[SPEAKER_01]: Those are the two studs of that 2019 15 class.
- 29:18[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, you could argue which ones a bigger impact, but Drake Greenlaw is definitely there.
- 29:23[SPEAKER_01]: Eighth season seventh as a nine or played last year for the Broncos.
- 29:28[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he's just played so much.
- 29:30[SPEAKER_01]: 498 tackles, 20 TFLs, four interceptions, the, one of the best plays and Niners history that stop on the one inch line with Seattle, uh, just love them.
- 29:42[SPEAKER_01]: Fan favorite, just incredible.
- 29:45[SPEAKER_01]: Now last year's sucked.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_01]: last year sucked with the Broncos that Killy's injury that happened to the Super Bowl took me year and a half to get over it.
- 29:55[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why I'm so concerned about George Kittle and Richard Sermon was the same way.
- 30:00[SPEAKER_01]: These Achilles injuries for these older players, it lingers.
- 30:04[SPEAKER_01]: Drake Greenlaw was 28, 27 when it happened.
- 30:07[SPEAKER_01]: It took him a year and a half.
- 30:09[SPEAKER_01]: Now the Kittle injury, Achilles a little bit higher up on the leg.
- 30:13[SPEAKER_01]: So that optimism,
- 30:16[SPEAKER_01]: They're getting better at killies injuries, whatever, but anyway, these are the contextual issues that whenever I talk about George Kittle being ready week one, I'm just like, dude, I don't see it.
- 30:26[SPEAKER_01]: It took Drake Greenlaw a year and a half, a year and a half.
- 30:31[SPEAKER_01]: Now the good news, Drake Greenlaw was a beast last year for the Broncos and the playoff games.
- 30:37[SPEAKER_01]: Those two playoff games, the overtime win against the Buffalo bills.
- 30:43[SPEAKER_01]: And then the narrow loss with no quarterback against the Patriots, Drake Greenlow was the big reason why they had a chance to win both those games.
- 30:50[SPEAKER_01]: And so you've already seen 57 back at his level before the 9th or 9th or 9th of them.
- 30:58[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I love it.
- 30:59[SPEAKER_01]: I saw it yesterday.
- 31:00[SPEAKER_01]: Very first play a team goes in there.
- 31:02[SPEAKER_01]: It gets a tackle for lost straight Greenlow, like against the ones.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_01]: goes out there just shows what's up.
- 31:10[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's that guy.
- 31:11[SPEAKER_01]: He is that guy.
- 31:13[SPEAKER_01]: And so now he's back.
- 31:14[SPEAKER_01]: Now the negative injuries and he's at a lot of injuries, numerous.
- 31:21[SPEAKER_01]: Now most of them are short-term injuries before that Achilles.
- 31:26[SPEAKER_01]: He's had a lot and you look at
- 31:29[SPEAKER_01]: Again, you just go through kind of the seasons for Drake Green Law, since he's been in the NFL, okay, it's Ricky Erie played 16 games.
- 31:38[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
- 31:38[SPEAKER_01]: And that was only that was way back when they were just 16 games.
- 31:42[SPEAKER_01]: Second, Erie played 13 games, 2021 played three, 15 games in 2022, 15 games in 2023.
- 31:48[SPEAKER_01]: So miss two games each, only played two games in 2024, only played eight games in 2025.
- 32:00[SPEAKER_01]: you have had four seasons where he's played a majority of the games and you've had three seasons where he barely showed up at all.
- 32:06[SPEAKER_01]: What's straight green?
- 32:07[SPEAKER_01]: Are you getting?
- 32:09[SPEAKER_01]: You don't know, but then you look at the contract.
- 32:11[SPEAKER_01]: One year, six million dollar deal.
- 32:13[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
- 32:15[SPEAKER_01]: You're getting what you pay for if Drake Greenlaw plays eight games.
- 32:18[SPEAKER_01]: You got your money's worth.
- 32:20[SPEAKER_01]: If he plays less than that, all right, then the complaints can come in.
- 32:24[SPEAKER_01]: But whenever you're
- 32:29[SPEAKER_01]: you get the value.
- 32:30[SPEAKER_01]: This was the guy that was making close to 15 million dollars a year last year for the Broncos.
- 32:35[SPEAKER_01]: They did not get the value.
- 32:37[SPEAKER_01]: Now you're getting him at half off.
- 32:39[SPEAKER_01]: One year, six million dollar deal.
- 32:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it is.
- 32:44[SPEAKER_01]: So I love Drake Greenlaw.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_01]: I just I freaking love him man.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_01]: I love him right here.
- 32:51[SPEAKER_01]: James, would you take the over or under 10 games played this year for Greenlaw?
- 32:56[SPEAKER_01]: I want to say over.
- 32:58[SPEAKER_01]: I want to say over, but I would probably set it at nine and a half right betting, but yeah, he's definitely that is the question.
- 33:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right here in H. Niners, green law, him and Warner, OG Smash Bros. Martin is Little Smash Bros. Martin is going to be playing dude, Phil, appreciate Super Chapman.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much.
- 33:19[SPEAKER_01]: Hope you're playing in a Drake Green Law special dude.
- 33:22[SPEAKER_01]: I literally
- 33:28[SPEAKER_01]: I love it, man.
- 33:29[SPEAKER_01]: I just love it.
- 33:30[SPEAKER_01]: Judge Drake anybody.
- 33:31[SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Judge Dread.
- 33:33[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.
- 33:33[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm the law.
- 33:35[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I got it.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_01]: I got it.
- 33:37[SPEAKER_01]: Rob Schneider.
- 33:38[SPEAKER_01]: Good reference.
- 33:39[SPEAKER_00]: Solid, everybody knows that about you, bro.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_01]: References are crazy.
- 33:43[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha.
- 33:44[SPEAKER_01]: Malik, Dread tearing his Achilles while jumping on the sidelines is super bulls.
- 33:48[SPEAKER_01]: It's the most heartbreaking thing I've experienced as a 40-nars fan.
- 33:51[SPEAKER_01]: I was wearing a Drake Greenlaw jersey that day.
- 33:53[SPEAKER_00]: I was wearing a jersey that day.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, Judge Dre.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_01]: I like it.
- 33:59[SPEAKER_01]: I do like that.
- 34:01[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Matthew, man, appreciate you sharing coming from someone who grew up in the foster system and now 40.
- 34:07[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Chad, and do thank you, Matthew for sharing and just being honest with me.
- 34:10[SPEAKER_01]: Kids need homes.
- 34:11[SPEAKER_01]: It's hardest thing I've ever done in my life barely made it through it.
- 34:13[SPEAKER_01]: But, uh, where kids need homes.
- 34:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's that simple.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_01]: It is that simple.
- 34:23[SPEAKER_01]: That's it, man, go help people, right here, Kevin.
- 34:25[SPEAKER_01]: Great insight on Greenlock.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_01]: God, I love the man he became.
- 34:27[SPEAKER_01]: Also, congrats to you, J.C., thanks, and appreciate that.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_01]: And Drey brings the boom.
- 34:32[SPEAKER_01]: He's, you could argue the hardest hit in the NFL, him and his ease.
- 34:35[SPEAKER_01]: Who you had all the save.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, out there killing people, dude.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_01]: Kibbro, Greenlock's like a true blind side story.
- 34:42[SPEAKER_01]: Not the fake one that comes in TV all the time.
- 34:44[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, yep, yep, got to love that, man.
- 34:49[SPEAKER_01]: got to love that.
- 34:50[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Tommy.
- 34:51[SPEAKER_01]: Let's let's spend some time talk about the loss of Parag.
- 34:56[SPEAKER_01]: By far, one of the main stays.
- 34:58[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she's been here longer than Jed York's been in charge of the team.
- 35:05[SPEAKER_01]: Parag's been here forever.
- 35:07[SPEAKER_01]: Now, some people hold prologue responsible with all of the deadline deals and playing tight and, you know, allowing these holdouts to extend into training camp and even the regular season, Trent Williams, Nick Bosa, freaking, I uke obviously, dbo, I mean, go on and on and on kiddo, all those different things.
- 35:33[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you could argue they got out of that while Prague was here.
- 35:36[SPEAKER_01]: They're not doing that crap anymore and thank God and now they're even putting clauses in people like Trent Williams contract who always holds out.
- 35:44[SPEAKER_01]: Look, if you don't hold out, you paid more money.
- 35:46[SPEAKER_01]: So to no hold out clause in the future of part of contracts.
- 35:50[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm cool with it.
- 35:52[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not.
- 35:55[SPEAKER_01]: I am not one of those that thinks the sky is falling.
- 35:57[SPEAKER_01]: This is a huge negative.
- 35:59[SPEAKER_01]: I do not.
- 36:01[SPEAKER_01]: I like who they have stepping in.
- 36:04[SPEAKER_01]: I want to mess up his name, Jesse, I always mess up his name.
- 36:12[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know how to spell it, but you know, he was with the 49ers for a long time, went to the Vikings and then came back.
- 36:18[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, don't have it in my notes.
- 36:20[SPEAKER_01]: Steffit, thanks for the super chat.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_01]: What would be your most satisfying win on our schedule for me?
- 36:25[SPEAKER_01]: It's either the Cowboy, Sea Chickens or Cheese.
- 36:27[SPEAKER_01]: You got to start in the division.
- 36:30[SPEAKER_01]: That Rams game in Australia start the year off right everybody's already champion the Rams Super Bowl winners go beat them they're terrified because they don't want you playing in Los Angeles because they don't have fans and so Niners take over all the time so they asked to go all the way around the world and the end of that grants it to them.
- 36:51[SPEAKER_01]: That Rams game obviously the Cowboys and Dallas that's my origin story for those of you that don't know step that I did like is die our Cowboys fan so I asked what team he hated the most he said Niners I asked for a jay rice jersey for Christmas or for my birthday and that was what it was so Rams C Hawks Cowboys those are the three those are the three
- 37:14[SPEAKER_01]: But any win is a good win.
- 37:16[SPEAKER_01]: When's our hard to come by, man?
- 37:18[SPEAKER_01]: You want like again, you go watch quarterback on Netflix and it follows Cam Ward and just how hard it is to get a damn win in the NFL Like it's just like what do you got to do to get a damn win?
- 37:32[SPEAKER_01]: Any win is a good win and that's why looking back last year with the 49ers and all those damn injuries
- 37:41[SPEAKER_01]: Kenny and all those wins last year was insanity winning in the on the road in the playoff against defending super rules insanity with that roster.
- 37:49[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I still support Kyle Shanahan.

- 37:56[SPEAKER_01]: No business.

- 39:58[SPEAKER_01]: No, he wasn't.
- 40:00[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but he was the GM whenever they picked Justin Jefferson.
- 40:03[SPEAKER_01]: So like there's some positives there and he has the experience and contract stuff and all that.
- 40:08[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm a believer in the dude.
- 40:11[SPEAKER_01]: Do I want to mess the general manager?
- 40:12[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not, but uh, there we go.
- 40:15[SPEAKER_01]: So a dog, a questie, a

- 40:29[SPEAKER_01]: He was the number two To John Lynch early on and I actually let me see here.
- 40:37[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm going to do this Questie Adolfo Mensa.
- 40:44[SPEAKER_01]: I want to look up
- 40:46[SPEAKER_01]: his Wikipedia page, because his resume is better than that by far.
- 40:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so here we go.
- 40:54[SPEAKER_01]: Before that, he was the vice president of football operations for the Browns for two seasons.
- 40:59[SPEAKER_01]: He was the director of football research and development for the Niners for three seasons when Kyle Shanahan and then first came in.
- 41:06[SPEAKER_01]: And he was the manager of football research and development even before that since 2013 for the Niners.
- 41:15[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I mean, he's he's done some things went to Princeton.

- 41:30[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 41:31[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's educated.
- 41:32[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's smart enough to do that job.
- 41:36[SPEAKER_01]: That's just me.
- 41:38[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, now let's get to number 11.
- 41:42[SPEAKER_01]: Good player voted team captain last year.
- 41:44[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you lived up to it, but damn good, solid consistent.
- 41:49[SPEAKER_01]: Again, foundational member of this team moving forward.
- 41:54[SPEAKER_01]: Dimo, it was funny yesterday, there was a question asked to reemorace, tell us about Diomador de Norris, like who?
- 42:02[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, I just haven't heard his real name before.
- 42:04[SPEAKER_01]: Dimo is what everybody calls him.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_01]: Diomador is an interesting name to say the least.
- 42:08[SPEAKER_01]: He's been all over on this countdown.
- 42:11[SPEAKER_01]: 22 22.
- 42:13[SPEAKER_01]: He was number 41.
- 42:15[SPEAKER_01]: They need jumped up to 17 whenever he won the slot corner roll jumped up to number nine in 2024.
- 42:21[SPEAKER_01]: Last year was number seven falls to number 11.
- 42:25[SPEAKER_01]: I think you, you have proble level level play from demo.
- 42:31[SPEAKER_01]: He's definitely has no probals or anything yet, but he is a proble level player currently.
- 42:38[SPEAKER_01]: there are some flaws in the game in the run game.
- 42:40[SPEAKER_01]: That is there.
- 42:41[SPEAKER_01]: And the leadership standpoint didn't come across at all last year.
- 42:45[SPEAKER_01]: I do not consider him a leader.
- 42:47[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the team does.
- 42:48[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be shocked if he is voted captain again, but last year with the all the guys leaving and not replacing any of it.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_01]: You wanted some guys to step up.
- 42:58[SPEAKER_01]: Dimo.
- 42:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that he's a damn good player.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_01]: And I wouldn't have a problem if you had Diomador Lenore rated $10.987 on this list.
- 43:09[SPEAKER_01]: Most impactful 49ers for the year, like he's the starting number one corner.
- 43:14[SPEAKER_01]: Where's Jersey number two after he changed it from 38?
- 43:16[SPEAKER_01]: 510 to 100 pounds, 25 years old.
- 43:19[SPEAKER_01]: Timo's young.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_01]: Dimo can play for a long time.
- 43:22[SPEAKER_01]: I have no qualms with him becoming a 10 year niner.
- 43:26[SPEAKER_01]: As the number one corner played at Oregon, born and raised in Los Angeles comes from a very large family.
- 43:31[SPEAKER_01]: He's ninth out of 12 kids.
- 43:33[SPEAKER_01]: Good gosh.
- 43:34[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of kiddos.
- 43:36[SPEAKER_01]: Went to a solution high school where he played quarterback, wide receiver corner, running back did all those things.
- 43:43[SPEAKER_01]: His family stressed academics.
- 43:45[SPEAKER_01]: His
- 43:51[SPEAKER_01]: It was a staple in that secondary, just damn good player drafted by the $40 and 2021 and just continue to get better.
- 43:58[SPEAKER_01]: First year was really, really quiet till he started, then once he had a four year under his belt as a starter, just started talking trash all the time in social media, which is kind of fun.
- 44:05[SPEAKER_01]: I like that from a corner back.
- 44:08[SPEAKER_01]: The 90s drafted him 2021 fifth round 173 overall.
- 44:11[SPEAKER_01]: They traded Quan Alexander for this pick.
- 44:15[SPEAKER_01]: We're talking to top 15 players in elite trades.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_01]: Quan Alexander that contract was abysmal.
- 44:23[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how they got rid of it.
- 44:24[SPEAKER_01]: Trade it into the Saints never lived up to the trade.
- 44:27[SPEAKER_01]: They got a fifth round pick and exchange.
- 44:29[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was crazy.
- 44:31[SPEAKER_01]: That Quan Alexander contract was gross.
- 44:35[SPEAKER_01]: was gross, especially with his injury history and all that stuff.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_01]: It was just terrible.
- 44:39[SPEAKER_01]: I love Quan Alexander, but that contract was just like, oh man, this is gonna be bad.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how they unloaded that.
- 44:45[SPEAKER_01]: Still don't to this day.
- 44:46[SPEAKER_01]: It to turn that into Diomendorlanor, who's starting and going to start for so many freaking years.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_01]: Diomendorlanor is also the second best pick in that fifth round.
- 44:57[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know the first round, the first best fifth round or was?
- 45:05[SPEAKER_01]: this entire today's episode is sponsored by the fifth round draft choices.
- 45:09[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 45:10[SPEAKER_01]: It's going into a six season and he's only 25, 79 games.
- 45:15[SPEAKER_01]: He started 64 of those, 14 tackle for losses, one sack, 31 pass breakups, eight interceptions.
- 45:22[SPEAKER_01]: Ball skills are there.
- 45:24[SPEAKER_01]: Team captain last year.
- 45:24[SPEAKER_01]: I doubt it'll be at this year.
- 45:27[SPEAKER_01]: horrible at tackling, which is a new thing.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if he's making business decisions.
- 45:32[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's going on.
- 45:33[SPEAKER_01]: But 61 tackles last year did block a field goal.
- 45:37[SPEAKER_01]: That's huge.
- 45:38[SPEAKER_01]: Four tackle for losses.
- 45:40[SPEAKER_01]: Five pass breakups.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_01]: Two interceptions.
- 45:42[SPEAKER_01]: 44 run defense grade.
- 45:44[SPEAKER_01]: 46 tackling grade.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_01]: 65.7 coverage grade.
- 45:49[SPEAKER_01]: Does grab way too much gets flagged way too much.
- 45:51[SPEAKER_01]: Pinnolese are an issue
- 45:57[SPEAKER_01]: lot of those penalties and miss tackles resulted in touchdowns, a lot of them.
- 46:01[SPEAKER_01]: He signed a five year 88.8 million dollar contract.
- 46:05[SPEAKER_01]: It was a bargain when they signed it.
- 46:07[SPEAKER_01]: It's even more of a bargain now.
- 46:09[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I do it.
- 46:11[SPEAKER_01]: I did not pull this up.
- 46:13[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see if I can find this live on air.
- 46:16[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to cornerbacks.
- 46:18[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm looking at the average salary per year.
- 46:23[SPEAKER_01]: four corners.
- 46:23[SPEAKER_01]: Diamator La Norris getting 17 million in some change per year.
- 46:27[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to count this out loud because it's not numbered.
- 46:30[SPEAKER_01]: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
- 46:36[SPEAKER_01]: He's already the 18th highest paid average per year salary corner.
- 46:40[SPEAKER_01]: That is a steal of a steal of a steal.
- 46:45[SPEAKER_01]: Like I love it when the Niners player get these deals done early for guys that don't have
- 46:52[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, we'll give you generational wealth now.
- 46:53[SPEAKER_01]: We believe in you, but you're not getting top of the market money.
- 46:56[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give it to you now.
- 46:58[SPEAKER_01]: He's made $26.4 million in his career, but he's already so buried on the amount per year.
- 47:04[SPEAKER_01]: And he's got years and years left.
- 47:08[SPEAKER_01]: Diomedor LaNore, he is signed through 2029.
- 47:12[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be 30 years, 30 years old.
- 47:19[SPEAKER_01]: There's no way this contract's gonna hold up.
- 47:21[SPEAKER_01]: They're gonna have to probably give him some more money.
- 47:24[SPEAKER_01]: But man, yeah, right here.
- 47:27[SPEAKER_01]: Demos definitely a 10 year 9 or I love it.
- 47:29[SPEAKER_01]: I love it, I love it.
- 47:32[SPEAKER_01]: I love Demos, I really, really do.
- 47:33[SPEAKER_01]: We had the issue where he didn't show up last year to our event after all that stuff, but like, damn good player.
- 47:40[SPEAKER_01]: I had no will will against them, damn good player.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_01]: He's easily getting top 10 corner back, but you're not paying top 10 money.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that that's huge.
- 47:52[SPEAKER_01]: I really, really do, so yeah, shout out to Demo, man.
- 47:56[SPEAKER_01]: He's freaking awesome.
- 47:57[SPEAKER_01]: He is awesome.
- 47:58[SPEAKER_01]: Right here in the tores, Demo go to make sure the boom box walks out, lives past Trent.
- 48:04[SPEAKER_01]: I got to love a lot of love for the hyena.
- 48:06[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, damn good player.
- 48:08[SPEAKER_01]: damn good player, man, um, always remember Demo Trash talking on DK back.
- 48:13[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was, that was an epic video, whatever.
- 48:16[SPEAKER_01]: He did like a Instagram live or a real when DK got traded and just like, yeah, it was great.
- 48:24[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 48:25[SPEAKER_01]: Right here, Stefan, have you ever seen a Rams fan in the wild?
- 48:28[SPEAKER_01]: I have not.
- 48:29[SPEAKER_01]: I lived in Los Angeles for six years.
- 48:32[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't happen.
- 48:33[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't happen.
- 48:34[SPEAKER_01]: They don't exist.
- 48:36[SPEAKER_01]: they do not exist, um, not so far you don't, uh, there, there are Rams fans and so far.
- 48:43[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I've had a beer port on my head.
- 48:46[SPEAKER_01]: It's so fly.
- 48:48[SPEAKER_01]: It was probably one of the few times, like, I've been to a lot of games and I'm going to stand up a cheer for my team.
- 48:53[SPEAKER_01]: I don't talk a lot of trash, but I don't back down either.
- 48:58[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember this game vividly,
- 49:02[SPEAKER_01]: It's when the Niners won and the Amber Thomas Interception in so fly and as soon as the game's over I just fear the guy behind me just dumped his beer out all over my head and I was pretty hot probably I turned around ready to go and like I'm not that guy I'm a diffuser like I box I did him in May I can handle myself all right, but like I usually just wanted to fuse the situation always.
- 49:31[SPEAKER_01]: I turned around ready to go.
- 49:33[SPEAKER_01]: I was ready.
- 49:35[SPEAKER_01]: I was ready to make bad choices.
- 49:37[SPEAKER_01]: And it turned around this guy's got five-year-old kid with him.
- 49:41[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just like, I'm not gonna fight you next to your child.
- 49:45[SPEAKER_01]: And I was just like, dude, what, your son's right there.
- 49:50[SPEAKER_01]: Why would you do this in front of your own child?
- 49:52[SPEAKER_01]: Like your kid's gonna remember this?
- 49:55[SPEAKER_00]: Like why would you do that?
- 49:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like instantaneously.
- 49:57[SPEAKER_01]: I turned around like, all right.
- 49:59[SPEAKER_01]: I'm getting arrested and then immediately just like, two, you're a terrible parent.
- 50:03[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I can't fight you in front of your son.
- 50:06[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what is that?
- 50:08[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, yeah, so far, the funniest thing is whatever you go to, so far, and you stand next to the speakers and you just hear crowd noise.
- 50:16[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it is comical.
- 50:19[SPEAKER_01]: It is comical.
- 50:20[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it is undeniable that they pipe in all that noise.
- 50:24[SPEAKER_01]: There are no fans there.
- 50:25[SPEAKER_01]: There's a few rams fans.
- 50:26[SPEAKER_01]: They're there.
- 50:28[SPEAKER_01]: But they don't lift them out in the wild.
- 50:30[SPEAKER_01]: They have to collect the jerseys that they give them as they walk into the stadium so far, and then they collect them afterwards, so they can wash them and then hand them out to people again at the end.
- 50:40[SPEAKER_01]: It's just what it is, man.
- 50:42[SPEAKER_01]: Right here, Monkey, yeah.
- 50:43[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen more St. Louis ram fans than L.A. ram fans past five years, it's true.
- 50:48[SPEAKER_01]: Kimbro.
- 50:50[SPEAKER_01]: If dumps a beer on you, he signed the contract to get puns.
- 50:53[SPEAKER_01]: I was ready, man, until I saw the kid, I was like, I can't do that.
- 50:56[SPEAKER_01]: I, Eagles fans are the worse.
- 50:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, Eagles fans are the worse.
- 51:00[SPEAKER_01]: I will attest to that.
- 51:02[SPEAKER_01]: I will attest to that.
- 51:04[SPEAKER_01]: That is factual.
- 51:06[SPEAKER_01]: Man, we got two more players.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_01]: Got to leave.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_01]: This is gonna be a long show.
- 51:09[SPEAKER_01]: Hope y'all ain't met.

- 51:57[SPEAKER_01]: We would appreciate it.
- 51:58[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to number 10 and probably the weirdest one.
- 52:03[SPEAKER_01]: Number 10 was Ricky Pearsaw.
- 52:05[SPEAKER_01]: But this list was done right after the draft concluded, after free agency concluded, we ranked most impactful players for the 20, 20, 26 season.
- 52:16[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, Ricky Pierce all is done, and to lose a top 10 player.
- 52:21[SPEAKER_01]: that's huge, and so we're just gonna slide debo into that place, just like the 40 Niners did.
- 52:28[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was wild.
- 52:30[SPEAKER_01]: The news goes out, Ricky Pierce saw seasons over, and within 26 seconds, the 40 Niners official Twitter Instagram everywhere.
- 52:41[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations
- 52:48[SPEAKER_01]: um now should dbo be top 10 on this list know we should not there are fallacies in the process there are flaws right it just what it is it's so it is instead of reorganizing whatever else dbo should probably come in around 17 to 22 somewhere around there i do not expect dbo to be the leading wide receiver for the 49ers or any of those things but for our exercise we're sliding dbo into the recapiers law slot just like the 49ers did
- 53:19[SPEAKER_01]: to allow Debo to leave the Z wide receiver roll.
- 53:23[SPEAKER_01]: Now Debo's back, there we go.
- 53:25[SPEAKER_01]: My, my, my, look how the turn tables.
- 53:29[SPEAKER_01]: Debo comes in off the plane, leads the team in targets the very first day of practice.
- 53:34[SPEAKER_01]: That's bananas to me.
- 53:35[SPEAKER_01]: Now, stripling was out.
- 53:37[SPEAKER_01]: My Kevin's wasn't taking, you know, all of the, the snaps that he usually does.
- 53:44[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, it's what is Debo's 30 years old.
- 53:47[SPEAKER_01]: He's got one probal one all pro and you could are it out and take his argument.
- 53:53[SPEAKER_01]: Well, 2021, I would say is the second best wide receiver career ever.
- 54:01[SPEAKER_01]: and 49ers history.
- 54:02[SPEAKER_01]: Now I know you say that and it sounds blasphemous.
- 54:05[SPEAKER_01]: I get that.
- 54:06[SPEAKER_01]: Dude had 1770 total yards and 14 touchdowns.
- 54:11[SPEAKER_01]: Jerry Rice beat that one time in his career.
- 54:14[SPEAKER_01]: Torrell Owens never did that.
- 54:16[SPEAKER_01]: Now he had 14 touchdowns.
- 54:18[SPEAKER_01]: I think three or four times in his career with the Niners.
- 54:21[SPEAKER_01]: Never had that many yards.
- 54:22[SPEAKER_01]: You can say, well, there's an extra game, whatever else.
- 54:25[SPEAKER_01]: That 2021 Debo Year was bananas, man.
- 54:30[SPEAKER_01]: And MVP level play MVP level play what Dbo did from the running back spot The wide receiver spot the playoff run that cowboys game.
- 54:41[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, maybe one of my favorite games I've ever been to Just Dbo says give me the damn ball one play touchdown drive from just a toss play But Nanna's what Tbo has done 1770 total yards 14 touchdowns
- 54:57[SPEAKER_01]: It was drafted number 36 overall, second round of 2019, and you go back that draft class was loaded, man.
- 55:04[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the 49ers bet, again, Drake Greenlaw, Bosa, Debo, Kevin, give it like that draft class, just bonkers, man.
- 55:12[SPEAKER_01]: But the entire draft was badass, like even the players, the 49ers didn't get.
- 55:17[SPEAKER_01]: great draft class.
- 55:18[SPEAKER_01]: Now you go back and you rank it by pro football references approximated value debos 12 best player that draft you draft from 36.
- 55:26[SPEAKER_01]: Now it is funny Kyle Shenahan had Nikill Harry as his number one running bed or a wide receiver.
- 55:32[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we wanted but the Patriots took him right before.
- 55:35[SPEAKER_01]: And so Kyle Shenahan had to take
- 55:40[SPEAKER_01]: Now last year at Washington and again, I am not as high on Debo Samuel as a lot of people for three reasons.
- 55:53[SPEAKER_01]: Two of those reasons is he's requested trades off this team not once but twice.
- 55:59[SPEAKER_01]: That pisses me off.
- 56:01[SPEAKER_01]: same reason why I don't consider T.O.
- 56:03[SPEAKER_01]: who I think is probably the second best wide receiver ever arguably third or fourth.
- 56:08[SPEAKER_01]: You can't put them below fourth.
- 56:10[SPEAKER_01]: But like I don't consider him one of the great Niners cause he forces self off the team.
- 56:14[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's just me.
- 56:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a 49ers fan before I am anything else.
- 56:17[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not an insider.
- 56:18[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a journalist.
- 56:19[SPEAKER_01]: I am a 49ers fan.
- 56:20[SPEAKER_01]: I am bias.
- 56:22[SPEAKER_01]: I'm bias to the red and gold.
- 56:24[SPEAKER_01]: before all else like that that's what I am and like it's funny.
- 56:28[SPEAKER_01]: I get things like how could you be this you can't do this if you're fan.
- 56:31[SPEAKER_01]: I can do whatever I was my show it's my channel not owned by anybody.
- 56:35[SPEAKER_01]: I've not signed with anybody and I never will because I'm going to do what I want to do and I have no journalistic integrity.
- 56:42[SPEAKER_01]: I have no insider information.
- 56:44[SPEAKER_01]: I don't ever want it.
- 56:45[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need it.
- 56:46[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want credentials.
- 56:47[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want it.
- 56:48[SPEAKER_01]: I just want to do what I want to do.
- 56:50[SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk football with you as a 49ers fan.
- 56:54[SPEAKER_01]: And so, yeah, Debo requested out and they asked him about it.
- 56:58[SPEAKER_01]: Dude, you requested off this team, traded off this team twice and Debo goes, yeah, that wouldn't mean that was just contract, me go change, and then I didn't have anything to do with that.
- 57:07[SPEAKER_01]: I say bullshit to that big time.
- 57:09[SPEAKER_01]: I saw those damn videos you put out and that, like, I can't stand that stuff.
- 57:13[SPEAKER_01]: But.
- 57:15[SPEAKER_01]: He's back and he loves it here and he says it's like family and whatever else and I get all of those things.
- 57:21[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thankful for Debo.
- 57:22[SPEAKER_01]: He will never be amongst my 49er grades ever.
- 57:26[SPEAKER_01]: You can't do that.
- 57:29[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
- 57:30[SPEAKER_01]: And I know I'm in a minority and I love the way Debo plays and I just talked about it as the second best wide receiver career the most wide receiver rich franchise in NFL history.
- 57:44[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-uh, you're not for an Irish royalty.
- 57:46[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thankful and I hope that he has a great year.
- 57:51[SPEAKER_01]: And you look at, okay, what are the expectations?
- 57:53[SPEAKER_01]: Let's transition it that way.
- 57:56[SPEAKER_01]: Last year, Washington wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.
- 57:58[SPEAKER_01]: 72 receptions on 99 targets, 727 yards, five touchdowns.
- 58:06[SPEAKER_01]: It five drops one fumble, 17 missed tackles forced as a wide receiver, 32 first down.
- 58:11[SPEAKER_01]: That's pretty good.
- 58:13[SPEAKER_01]: 97.5 NFL pass rating when target pretty good solid.
- 58:17[SPEAKER_01]: That's not number one wide receiver.
- 58:19[SPEAKER_01]: That's not number two wide receiver.
- 58:20[SPEAKER_01]: That's a number three hybrid piece, which is what I want him to be with the Niners.
- 58:25[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want Debo to start.
- 58:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think that he probably will because Kyle can't help it.
- 58:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's shoot, not even Kyle.
- 58:31[SPEAKER_01]: Kubiac can't help it.
- 58:33[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle wouldn't even call him place yesterday.
- 58:35[SPEAKER_01]: Kubiac, freaking Debo, load him up.
- 58:39[SPEAKER_01]: Now, also, running the ball, this is where I want Debo to be used more for the Niners.
- 58:44[SPEAKER_01]: I want him running the ball.
- 58:45[SPEAKER_01]: He had 17 Russian tips for 75 VR's last year for Washington, one touchdown, four missed tackles for us, two, 10 plus yard runs runs, 15 kickoff returns.
- 58:54[SPEAKER_01]: This is what I want Debo doing as well.
- 58:57[SPEAKER_01]: Average 30.1 yards per return, man, but did have two explosives.
- 59:01[SPEAKER_01]: Had a 69 yard kickoff return and a 50 yard kickoff return.
- 59:05[SPEAKER_01]: That is what I want.
- 59:11[SPEAKER_01]: What do I expect from him this year?
- 59:13[SPEAKER_01]: 700 yards, seven touchdowns.
- 59:15[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I expect from Debo.
- 59:17[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be happy with that.
- 59:20[SPEAKER_01]: Now, how do those yards come about?
- 59:21[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 59:23[SPEAKER_01]: I want him to get running back carries.
- 59:25[SPEAKER_01]: I want him to be a Z wide receiver gadget guy.
- 59:29[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want him start and I don't want Debo getting 30 snaps of game offensively.
- 59:33[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
- 59:34[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't.
- 59:35[SPEAKER_01]: If everybody's healthy, I want Debo getting 20 to 25 snaps of game offensively.
- 59:41[SPEAKER_01]: I want them to be the kickoff and punt returner.
- 59:43[SPEAKER_01]: I do want those explosions there.
- 59:46[SPEAKER_01]: And I want them to be a gadget guy that goes in and is a third-down running back.
- 59:51[SPEAKER_01]: I want them to be a z-wide receiver that gets jet sweeps and screens and end breakers.
- 59:57[SPEAKER_01]: You're playing a heavy
- 1:00:01[SPEAKER_01]: He has major issues.
- 1:00:03[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want Debo starting over to Sean Stripling.
- 1:00:06[SPEAKER_01]: Now, if to Sean Stripling wins the slot role, which I think is what they want him to do and Debo is the Z wide receiver.
- 1:00:13[SPEAKER_01]: I get that.
- 1:00:14[SPEAKER_01]: Keep somebody like a Jacob Cowen who can play Z role as well that can beat man coverage.
- 1:00:20[SPEAKER_01]: Debo sucks against man coverage.
- 1:00:22[SPEAKER_01]: It is the biggest flaw.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_01]: So I said there's three reasons why I don't like Debo.
- 1:00:25[SPEAKER_01]: One trade request, two trade requests, three man coverage.
- 1:00:29[SPEAKER_01]: Those are my issues with Debo.
- 1:00:31[SPEAKER_01]: He's a flawed player.
- 1:00:33[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Kyle Shanahan can cover up a lot of those flaws, but don't force feed.
- 1:00:41[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do that.
- 1:00:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think it lost the Super Bowl because of it.
- 1:00:45[SPEAKER_01]: I really do.
- 1:00:46[SPEAKER_01]: Like, dude, you're playing against one of the best man cover teams, best man cover coordinators in Spagnola, Trent McDuffie just shut this dude down and he's still got like 11 plus targets.
- 1:00:58[SPEAKER_01]: That was dumb as hell.
- 1:01:01[SPEAKER_01]: ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
- 1:01:29[SPEAKER_01]: But man, I think about Ricky in that way.
- 1:01:31[SPEAKER_01]: He's going through knowing he ain't going to play football at all this year.
- 1:01:35[SPEAKER_01]: That hurts, man.
- 1:01:36[SPEAKER_01]: I love Drake Greenlaw talking about what he told Ricky and just man, just keep your head up, get healthy, religious, you know, they're Ricky.
- 1:01:44[SPEAKER_01]: That's a big deal for him.
- 1:01:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, his career is completely altered.
- 1:01:49[SPEAKER_01]: Might even end here.
- 1:01:49[SPEAKER_01]: I doubt it.
- 1:01:50[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be alright.
- 1:01:51[SPEAKER_01]: He's still young.
- 1:01:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Debo's stoked to be here.
- 1:01:54[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure they're working on some 21 personnel plays.
- 1:01:56[SPEAKER_01]: I hope so.
- 1:01:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want Debo and Krishmi Kaffrey out there together as backs.
- 1:02:02[SPEAKER_01]: I'm out on how you could.
- 1:02:03[SPEAKER_01]: I do not want him back.
- 1:02:04[SPEAKER_01]: Maria Debo looks good, energized.
- 1:02:06[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he showed up, man.
- 1:02:08[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what she want from Debo.
- 1:02:09[SPEAKER_01]: Bring energy positive, not negative.
- 1:02:13[SPEAKER_01]: Not negative, not negative.
- 1:02:16[SPEAKER_01]: Looks like he's in shape.
- 1:02:17[SPEAKER_01]: He did.
- 1:02:17[SPEAKER_01]: He looked apart.
- 1:02:18[SPEAKER_01]: Um, hopefully he stays healthy.
- 1:02:20[SPEAKER_01]: Deepa looked like he's ready.
- 1:02:21[SPEAKER_01]: Snatch chains again.
- 1:02:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:02:23[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
- 1:02:24[SPEAKER_01]: And a fired up Tibo usually does well.
- 1:02:27[SPEAKER_01]: Like that 20 21 year was a contract here.
- 1:02:31[SPEAKER_01]: Dibo just spent all the free agency sitting there staring at his phone.
- 1:02:34[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody called all the draft.
- 1:02:36[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody called after the draft.
- 1:02:37[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody called nobody wanted him.
- 1:02:40[SPEAKER_01]: Dibo's pissed.
- 1:02:42[SPEAKER_01]: He has all the reason in the world to go out there and prove something.
- 1:02:46[SPEAKER_01]: let's go.
- 1:02:47[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.
- 1:02:50[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.
- 1:02:51[SPEAKER_01]: All right, last one today, number nine.
- 1:02:53[SPEAKER_01]: We spent a lot of the offseason talking about him.
- 1:02:56[SPEAKER_01]: Also a diggy zoo.
- 1:02:58[SPEAKER_01]: He would be one of my votes for team captain.
- 1:03:01[SPEAKER_01]: Love his two interviews that he's had.
- 1:03:03[SPEAKER_01]: He's a 49 straight and third round pick for him.
- 1:03:06[SPEAKER_01]: Where's Jersey number 92, 62, 294, he's 27.
- 1:03:11[SPEAKER_01]: You got him on a cheap ass contract because the
- 1:03:17[SPEAKER_01]: 27, turns 28 August, played at UCLA born in Dayton, Ohio, went to David Douglass High School in Portland, Oregon, was a stud athlete in the high school, two-time defense player, the year, also ledger than wrestling.
- 1:03:31[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a kid is going to play offense or defensive line or tight end, put them in wrestling.
- 1:03:36[SPEAKER_01]: If you are serious about their football future, you take you want them to earn a college scholarship and then I L money, put them in
- 1:03:46[SPEAKER_01]: learn how to control your body, learn balance, put them in wrestling.
- 1:03:50[SPEAKER_01]: If you are serious about your kids football career, and there's any chance of old line T line tied in, put them in wrestling.
- 1:03:57[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, man, come on, guys.
- 1:04:01[SPEAKER_01]: He went undefeated two years in a row.
- 1:04:03[SPEAKER_01]: Went 45 and 0 as a wrestler as junior year, 46 and 0 as a senior.
- 1:04:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's badass is a dude's bow to about it no limit studios.
- 1:04:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's up in sale.
- 1:04:14[SPEAKER_01]: But three star recruit went to UCLA started from a sophomore year on productive college career led to a third round pick of the cowboys, but then they traded Micah Parsons got back Kenny Clark, then they traded for Quentin Williams, both those guys are better than OSa or Digi Zua, but OSa's
- 1:04:33[SPEAKER_01]: He's the top 15 defense attack or any way slices that there's no doubt about it.
- 1:04:37[SPEAKER_01]: He's a pro bull copper player.
- 1:04:40[SPEAKER_01]: That could he become an all pro.
- 1:04:45[SPEAKER_01]: The answer is yeah, he could.
- 1:04:46[SPEAKER_01]: He had even have a pro bull year yet.
- 1:04:50[SPEAKER_01]: But you look at him.
- 1:04:50[SPEAKER_01]: He led the NFL and quarterback hits last year.
- 1:04:53[SPEAKER_01]: Like 81 quarterback hits in his career.
- 1:04:56[SPEAKER_01]: He was drafted in the third round of 2021, 75th overall.
- 1:05:00[SPEAKER_01]: Same round as every Thomas and Tray Sermon doesn't that just hurt to hear.
- 1:05:04[SPEAKER_01]: Same round, a lot of quality players.
- 1:05:06[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say O's is the best, but he's with them.
- 1:05:08[SPEAKER_01]: That third round, Ernest Jones, Nico Collins, Spencer Brown, Quinn Minerts, O'sa, those are the five best players in that round.
- 1:05:17[SPEAKER_01]: So damn good man going into his sixth season 76 starts 34 tackle for losses 81 quarterback hits in his career 17 Sacks and that was the thing he was asked about this yesterday.
- 1:05:28[SPEAKER_01]: What are you working on?
- 1:05:30[SPEAKER_01]: converting quarterback hits into sex.
- 1:05:32[SPEAKER_01]: He gets those sex pro ball pros there.
- 1:05:35[SPEAKER_01]: I would not consider him an all pro player.
- 1:05:37[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's outside the French of that, but he's a consistent player was drafted.
- 1:05:42[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a past rush guy has brought on and become a consistent run game defender.
- 1:05:47[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the things that shocked me most after the trade.
- 1:05:50[SPEAKER_01]: And I went through the tape and the tape is up the 49ers rush.com and our Patreon channel links in the description of this video.
- 1:05:56[SPEAKER_01]: Um, man, I'm watching this tape.
- 1:05:58[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, dude, this guy's good against the run.
- 1:06:00[SPEAKER_01]: He's not like an 8A plus run defender, but he's a plus run defender.
- 1:06:05[SPEAKER_01]: Fun player.
- 1:06:06[SPEAKER_01]: Huge wing span.
- 1:06:07[SPEAKER_01]: He's big dude.
- 1:06:08[SPEAKER_01]: He shows up.
- 1:06:09[SPEAKER_01]: I want him to be team captain.
- 1:06:11[SPEAKER_01]: He's made 29.1 million.
- 1:06:14[SPEAKER_01]: It is career.
- 1:06:15[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's see here.
- 1:06:17[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, man.
- 1:06:18[SPEAKER_01]: I spoke track is just such a, I love the site, but it just freezes all the time.
- 1:06:26[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see if this pulls up.
- 1:06:28[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 1:06:28[SPEAKER_01]: Let's look at his contract because I think that this is kind of huge He's a five million dollar cap hit this year Five million dollar like the cowboys kept a lot of that cap hit next year 23 million 228 23 million
- 1:06:46[SPEAKER_01]: you are getting unbelievable financial structure on this OSA deal.
- 1:06:52[SPEAKER_01]: Even if he doesn't work out, which man in training camp, he looks the part, you're getting pennies on the dollar.
- 1:06:58[SPEAKER_01]: You gave up the third round pick, which hurts, but this was one of the worst defensive tackle classes that I can remember.
- 1:07:05[SPEAKER_01]: Probably would've taken Grayson Haltten with that pick if you would've kept it and said you got Grayson Haltten, a couple of picks later and OSA.
- 1:07:12[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you, man, OSA is a player.
- 1:07:16[SPEAKER_01]: Now you got everybody hurt, you know, Alfred Collins's back at practice, he ain't taking him reps. Grace and Holden's hurt, CJ West hurt, oh yeah, undrafted for reagents, start in a defensive tackle.
- 1:07:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Kevin Gibbons, who you signed up off street, start a defense of it.
- 1:07:31[SPEAKER_01]: Ijuries are atrocious, got to fix something man.
- 1:07:37[SPEAKER_01]: got to fix something.
- 1:07:38[SPEAKER_01]: And this has been fun.
- 1:07:39[SPEAKER_01]: We have two more installments.
- 1:07:41[SPEAKER_01]: We'll do on days off throughout training camp.
- 1:07:44[SPEAKER_01]: So the next two days off that way, we're not taking place.
- 1:07:47[SPEAKER_01]: Monday, I'll be at training camp.
- 1:07:48[SPEAKER_01]: So tomorrow we'll be going live.
- 1:07:50[SPEAKER_01]: Probably about the same time that's the amount of time it takes me to get back here.
- 1:07:54[SPEAKER_01]: Tomorrow's going to be a longer process.
- 1:07:57[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we have a live camp report tomorrow, which I'm super pumped about.
- 1:08:00[SPEAKER_01]: I want to make sure I'm not missing anything on the chat.
- 1:08:03[SPEAKER_01]: You guys freaking fire.
- 1:08:05[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right here in notorious was Osa, a captain last year, wouldn't be mad if he was.
- 1:08:09[SPEAKER_01]: He was also was one of the leaders in the locker room.
- 1:08:12[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, they had the passing of, uh, Martian Nealent, the player who died on their team, and Osa kind of led a whole lot of that stuff from what the beat writers were saying, and just,
- 1:08:25[SPEAKER_01]: He just seems like an awesome guy.
- 1:08:27[SPEAKER_01]: Made of the right stuff, I agree completely.
- 1:08:30[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really excited to add a character guy at a position that she just didn't have.
- 1:08:37[SPEAKER_01]: They tried signing John Franklin Myers, got outpicked, traded for OSU, got a huge, I'd prefer trading the third round pick for OSU than signing John Franklin Myers.
- 1:08:46[SPEAKER_01]: I like this way more.
- 1:08:47[SPEAKER_01]: I was so big red, 18 days till high school football, that is awesome.
- 1:08:51[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all my coaching friends and all of our text
- 1:08:55[SPEAKER_01]: two days all that stuff's going on.
- 1:08:58[SPEAKER_01]: I gotta say buy to my friends for a while.
- 1:09:01[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I get it.
- 1:09:04[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's a beautiful time.
- 1:09:06[SPEAKER_01]: I remember this time whenever I was coaching and I missed practice.
- 1:09:10[SPEAKER_01]: I missed coaching more than I missed the games.
- 1:09:11[SPEAKER_01]: I know everybody loves the games.
- 1:09:13[SPEAKER_01]: I missed developing players in those relationships of practice and seeing the light turn on.
- 1:09:19[SPEAKER_01]: You guys are the best.
- 1:09:20[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we got a super chat here.
- 1:09:22[SPEAKER_01]: Good seeing all the faithful Kimbro.
- 1:09:24[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much, man.
- 1:09:25[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot say thank you enough just for your generosity and friendship.
- 1:09:28[SPEAKER_01]: We got to get together and get a beer soon, man.
- 1:09:31[SPEAKER_01]: I'll reach out to you.
- 1:09:32[SPEAKER_01]: But that's going to do it for us today until next time.
