Kyle Shanahan Adds To His Stellar Year, Purdy Clutch, 49ers DC of Future and more after Browns win · Guy Football Focus with Guy Haberman

• 0:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey guys, guy here 49ers beat the Browns.
• 0:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Brock pretty did something that you need to notice.
• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't stand out in the numbers.
• 0:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you saw it during the game, you might have noticed it.
• 0:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll get to that in a second.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think the first thing today is a pat on the back to Kyle Shannon and his 49ers are now 9 and 4.
• 0:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not all nine and fours are create equal.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not all schedules are created equal.
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: We know that, but you look around the NFL and with games still going on today, you think about the Rams lost today.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're nine and three, you've split with them.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just some of the jobs that have been done.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay's eight and three, you know, really, we'll see, they may win, they may lose right now as they're playing, they're seven and four.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if the bills beat the Steelers, they'll be eight and four.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: whether or not that happened by the time you're at least listening to this podcast, but the point is like, those are the teams with similar records to the 40 matters who've lost both of those lost Warner, you know, watching the thing unfold, I think one of the early first month conversations was, can they play their way into being a real contender than F.C.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately now that we're at, you know, to December, basically, the answer is, yeah, they
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: with Fred Warner and with Nick Boast to Healthy.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those guys aren't healthy.
• 1:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so the question becomes like, what are they?
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And with the Rams losing today, Chicago's now in first place, both teams nine and three, there's gonna be this discussion about can the Niners win the division?
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right?
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: If the Rams win and are ten and two, that conversation probably ends going into December.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, that's not to me what today's about.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Today's about, I thought, Shannon Han had the mindset coming into the game.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: They run that that incredible use check, kind of lead.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then he runs through the B cap to run around and makes it 22 yard catch whatever it was and then they it didn't second down didn't work.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Third down didn't work.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had to punt.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: They took the ball first and Tim Kyle County has been trying to get Kyle Shanahan to take the ball first.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he was trying to take it first to score just because he wanted the decision on the win than the second half.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: But either way, it took it first, they flipped the field.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there was a shot of him on the sideline, and you could just see in Kyle's demeanor was chill.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was not freaking.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he expected it to be the type of game that it was.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in the end, Jim Schwartz did a lot of really good.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I made a note during the game, probably midway, third, quarter.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's Jim Schwartz know half of the plays.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It felt like half the time, Jim Schwartz knew it was coming.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: A little end around.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: the Christian McAfrey past play, I mean, there were things happening that just had no chance, but you don't need every play to work.
• 2:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in Kyle Shanahan had enough of them work.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the third down run play in the goal line for Brock Perti was one of the great moments of the game, one of the great Kyle Shanahan moments of the year, to outsmart Jim Schwarz on that play.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for all the plays, the Schwarz won, and he won several, the $40, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: and that was critical, rock, pretty one, third down.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And most importantly, the four dollars, one, third down, in the red zone on gold to go situations.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were perfect on touchdowns.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess not perfect.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: They ended up kicking that field go at the end of the game.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But...
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, because when Brock's cramble threw the ball away, but they had the McAfrey touchdown on the first third goal, they had the perdi round on the second third goal.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had the, uh, Jennings touchdown catch on the next third goal didn't get the two point, but they were very good on the third down and goal situations inside the ten and side to five.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we've been waiting for.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now look, these are the Browns and the Browns aren't good.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the Browns are well-coached.
• 3:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Browns are different than some other bad teams that you might face over the course of a year.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're lucky that not lucky.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, but yeah, lucky they're a bad team.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Part of the schedule is you're going to place quarterbacks.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to play quarterbacks like Shidorah Sanders.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Who was fine?
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was good, like, you know, people may forget this.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone gets painted a certain way on Shidorah where you have one take and it sounds negative.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: You must be negative.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I liked him more than some other guys coming out of the draft, but like I liked him more than Tyler Schuck, put it that way, coming out of the draft.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I understood why he fell, though.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think it was some great conspiracy why he fell, but I liked him more than Tyler Schuck because I just thought he had some, a little sum to him.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's a crazy take, not the worst place in the world because of the coach,
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: today was the type of game that should or needs to play just chill.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't need to be a big take about American young quarterbacks don't need that they just need consistency improvement, some success to build confidence all that kind of stuff.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it was fine, but like first series of the game, he misses and it's a windy day, Brockmess look fair on the end zone.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, Jair Brown gets beaten, who knows, maybe it's a touchdown of shit or Sanders hits the throw when he does it.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, that's how you're playing today, you had to be better than them.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, it's so easily after the fatigue, oh, these are the Browns that have been mattered.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, going in, we know how the Niners have played and Cleveland has been good, it's been since Montana.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It has been good with Kyle and Brock, there, the last time the Jake Moody miss after Brock rolled them now the field.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, here's the thing, here's the thing about Brock that I tease at the start.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He, he, now, the final box score 16 to 29 and 16 to touch down no picks.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: You go, what was that?
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you watched it, it was a little everything, some throwaways in there to make those that percentage lower.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he was excellent on third down today.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, a game after he really struggled against Carolina,
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there are moments in a 26 to 8 game against a bad team that you forget were pressure moments because in the end it feels like what was supposed to happen happened.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he had to make several big throws when the game was in the balance on third down.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he was 8 of 11 with 6 first downs and plus a touchdown on third down passes.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: He also took a sack.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: But 8 of 11.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: on third down passing situations.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And of those eight, seven converted, one for a touchdown, six for first downs.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jennings had seven yards on third and six, seven yards on third and seven, 13 yards on third and 11.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: McCaffrey had 12 yards on third and eight and eight yards on third and five.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kittle had 14 yards on a third and eight.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pierce all had 13 yards.
• 6:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pearson had 13 yards on a third and 10.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's seven catches for 64 yards, six first downs attached now on third down.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is excellent.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And to me, if you think like, why do the 49ers win?
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: To me, reason number one is,
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kyle Shanahan kept his cool and Brock Perti converted third down for those.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: The clutch throws that you need to be watching it to see.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pierce salt, you know, at the end of the half, where they are, they're going to go down at the half, eight to seven.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to go to the locker mate to seven with Cleveland get the ball first.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: First, now out of bounds third of Jannings, second down doesn't hit McAfrey's.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: The third and ten.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Great route by Pierce salt, great protection.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: He only got the sack once today.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was by, of course, Mao's Garrett, great protection.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he throws the ball, great throw to Ricky Pearsal.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wendy Day cold day was hard, you know, without the rain, the wind's a little hard to tell how much of a factor it is.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Trent Green and Kevin Harland, we're talking like it was a factor.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that was a big play, you know, we had another big Jannings throw on third down.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he was, he was believe it or not, and you don't hear this word much in a 268 game, but I thought Brock was really clutch today.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I woke up today, just go on, oh my God.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am all for the ongoing quarterback talk.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think if you've been watching a listen to this, you know, I got no problem with it.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if the natters had lost the shit or Sanders today, there was no way for it to look good for Brock.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: and you know, should door, it is its own other thing that can be a little premature and exhausting.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't have the energy for that.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your boy did not, I just goes like, that thing just gets off the rails so fast.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I didn't want that.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I didn't know what it would look like.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because you know, these are, it was not a playoff,
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you'll wonder, like, are the Niners going to be in Chicago in the playoffs, right?
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was good to see Brock make some big throws run around a little bit.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I were to nitpick, I'd say his decision to throw it into the end zone on that last red zone possession where they end up with the Matt Gay Fielgo.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: After you ran around, that was a bad decision.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he got
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess he could argue well, I threw it kind of, it wasn't going to get picked.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was thrown to the sideline kind of out of bounds, it was a bad decision because it was a risky throw in a two score game when you're in field more range and a field goal basically ends the game.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I didn't love that.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was in the category of learning how to play on the line.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: That felt reckless.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: that felt like a bad decision for guy that makes a lot of great decisions, but he made a lot of great decisions today and a lot of great plays and you're not going to be perfect.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, additionally, McCaffrey, it wasn't a great running game for Christian.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: They would be 20 for 53 at the half of you six for nine.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: rushing.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So not great, but, you know, but, but those, anyway, that's one huge reason.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the top reason is, it's Kyle kept his cool really well coach game and what's been a very well coach season for Shannon and and and Brock was clutch.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Second time in a short amount of time, how many weeks, what what week was the Arizona game.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: So second time in three weeks, that the
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: had the opening score set up by a Skymore return.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: There were a lot of people, and I remember I said this.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said, maybe I'm being passive here.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone was crushing Skymore week three.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it went week three, week four, and it was week three, week three against Arizona.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: When he caught a pun at the night or like, would this guy know what he's doing?
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I don't know.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: The bull was coming from the shade to the sun.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not great, but I've been here.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think it was, I think he's been pretty solid.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think I've been proven right on Skymore.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's been better than solid.
• 10:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for a team that not has to play from ahead, but it's so advantaged when they are playing from ahead, especially with the lack of passports that they get, you know, play from ahead into the second half, and all of a sudden, Cleveland Ferals go up to
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Skymore sets up the touchdown with the kickoff against Arizona.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now he sets up the touchdown with the big punt return against the Browns, the Niners still, I am, I'll admit selfishly, if I could be transparent here.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've been, I've been watching these Niners games that I haven't been feeling in for Greg Popo on going.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's Skymore going to return a kicker upon.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because every week you go into the game, you're going to write it's been, you know, 5,200 days since the diners had a punt return for a ton of Ted Gann against who, well, Ted Gann twice, but anyway, and X amount of days since the diners had a kick return for a touch.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So a Skymore is broken those two, the last three weeks, I'll like, oh, God, I see you get to do it here, because I'd love to see it in person.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, nine are set to buy and I'll look forward to calling their final regular season games.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: back on radio on Canberra, Philanon for Greg here in December after the box.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So excited about that news.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: My broadcast news, which is not newsworthy, really.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you're here so I share.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Skymore, special team's excellent.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you saw on the sideline as soon as the game ended in Mac Jones was jumping around, they cut to a shot at Christian McCaffrey and Kevin
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: a brand boy with a special image coach who's standing right there and the clock hit zero and Christian says to him something to the effect of like great job today and it really was.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: The 49er special teams has been, you know, one of the great offseason decisions and maybe you give Robert Sala credit with it, but hiring a brand boy early on with Jake Moody and some coverage boss, you wondered what it worked.
• 12:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It has worked.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's been really good.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: take advantage of mistakes and don't make them.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I thought when the Browns had to plant deep in their own territory to midfield and skymore caught the ball like the 50.
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that's why don't turn it.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just catch it, go down.
• 13:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that can end this game back on for the Browns is mistakes.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he was solid with the ball and Darrell Luder recovered the moth like the even really good.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that offseason decision was was excellent fourth down stop to big especially the early one to big fourth down stop have the Browns not been watching the 40 matters.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know all these guys watch each other's tape.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even though he calls the offense so he watches the defense.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's still you know the offensive coordinators also watch other offense.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Especially Stephanski and Shanahan these guys watch each because they're running the same stuff or variations of it.
• 13:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lining 44 up, we love juice and hopefully the ribs are okay, but the line them up behind the center thing is not work the ton for the 90's.
• 13:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think, maybe I'll see juice in the locker room and we'll be like, no, man, it does work.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it didn't work for the Browns.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like that play very much.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Although I like it when other teams are on it.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the fourth downstop, the tackling, there were points in the game where you wondered,
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the guy that right now that, you know, if you think about the nighters defense, who flashes the most, mallik moves stuff at me, and he on white, who it's flashed on multiple plays, mallik moves stuff, it was hard to tell initially.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was like 93s in there, 92s in there, 99, CJ West was holding his ground in the middle on the first court down, but it was mallik and stuff, who came flying in and made that tackle.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: did make me this game did remind me how much I like Carson Swassinger wasn't available to the noters Browns took him to pick 33 coming out of UCLA long chat after the game between Kyle Shanahan and Jim shorts to catch that what was that it was a long chat like a long I don't know if Kyle was waiting for Stephanski and seen me at good mood good good good good mood
• 15:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But long chat and you just wonder, I have to wonder, you know, what's Jim Schwarz saying, Kyle, anyway, I've been here a long time, and as much as I like going toe to toe with you every two years, if Salal leaves give me a call, like Stefansky, he knows, he'd let me, I don't know, you know, guys don't like guys go, but I don't know what Jim Schwarz's contract situation is, but I took note of a very long chat between
• 15:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, mutual respect clearly there.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: His contract situation, notwithstanding if Robert solid leaves the obvious replacement would be guess Bradley who's on the staff, but not just for now for the future.
• 15:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just filed that one away, Jim shorts and Kyle Shanahan have a nice little chat.
• 15:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Rams lost today, you know, I think the first reaction I was watching that game on the side is like, oh my god, wow.
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the end, in terms of a divisional race, will it really benefit the 49ers?
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm skeptical.
• 16:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still think the Rams or the most likely team to win the NFC, especially when you look at their upcoming schedule.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They may not lose a game the rest of the way.
• 16:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They obviously now, you would have said that going into this game but sometimes losing these games helps you win the next ones.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: They play at Caroline, excuse me, they play at Arizona.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, then they host a choice, then they go to Seattle, they go to Atlanta, and then they play Arizona again.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they get the Cardinals twice, no better time to play Arizona than December, uh, it's when the Cardinals were at their most cardinally.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, um, you know, I think they'll be Detroit at home.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the Detroit's got a real chat to miss the playoffs here.
• 16:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, the Niners play the Bears and the Bears look very good.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're on a buy.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: That game is still a long way away.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: a youngest kind of inexperienced bear's team being in first place when they play the Niners.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a good setup.
• 17:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'd be rooting for Chicago to be the first place team in the NFC.
• 17:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: From that, you know, just from that standpoint, from that theory.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: However, if Chicago is the first place team in the NFC when they play the 49ers, it'll be more than just a young team that happens to be in first place.
• 17:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've only lost one game since so that made that means they've won one, two, three, four, five, what, nine of ten?
• 17:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is that no?
• 17:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they won nine of ten.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think what's interesting about them coming up is their schedule.
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: They just beat Philly.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now they're going to play at Green Bay.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to play Cleveland.
• 17:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to play Green Bay again.
• 17:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then they're going to play the Niners.
• 17:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: then they could still be in first place.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think they won't be because I don't think the Rams are going to lose between now and then.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think the Bears will slip back down.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not that it matters.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, ultimately, who would you rather play in the playoffs?
• 18:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: We start thinking about like playoff seating and how things match up from a nine-year standpoint.
• 18:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you'd rather play Chicago than the Rams.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, that would be a, you've played the Rams, you're in a dome, it's temperature's nice.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You play Chicago, it's gonna be frigid.
• 18:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that's, I think it'd be fun, like social field would be cool and seeing that team.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, that's a long way away.
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's incredible what Chicago's done.
• 18:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's really incredible.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, nineers, not a conference game today, but eight and two in the conference by far and away, the best conference record.
• 18:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: of any team in the NFL, nobody else, at least as of the, you know, entering the afternoon is, is there, uh, Philly seven at three.
• 18:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, bears in first place, you had your, your weird, um, Matthew Stafford interception games.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, we're, but we'll see, we'll see what the bears, by the way, I didn't mention this.
• 19:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: After the bears play the 49ers, they didn't play the Lions.
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't play the Lions.
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, long way to go for them, but, um,
• 19:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: But they've made themselves like a real, a real story.
• 19:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you really, you know, love that game.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, that game was, I think their, yeah, their hacker game, I don't know if that's been announced.
• 19:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: That might be prime time as well, the week before they plate, no, it's not.
• 19:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I had this on the schedule as an or when you look at the official NFL site, five or five or eight, 20,
• 19:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that game right now, I see listed as a 125.
• 19:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't, so I haven't, I haven't thought about that.
• 19:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I haven't dug into it.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And looked at that schedule.
• 19:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: But anyway, Niners next to Pona Titans got blown out by the jacks today.
• 20:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Niners next to Pona, the cults lost to the Texans who were playing good football at home.
• 20:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: The quarterback Daniel Jones is dealing with a fibula.
• 20:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, I think it's a reminder, and we'll see with Seattle, this time goes on.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said it a while ago, I've said it a few times, so I'll just, I just repeat it.
• 20:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're beating the Vikings right now, 10 nothing, but seasons are long.
• 20:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And at some point, the cults look like the best team.
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the Seahawks look like the best team.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the Rams look like the best team and seasons are long, you know, um,
• 20:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think with Indianapolis, there was a lot of like the resurrection of Daniel Jones and all this stuff.
• 20:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, teams of those games, so I'm not going to, there's not some whole reframing of a team based on a loss to a Houston team that's playing well.
• 20:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I just don't think the cults are the juggernaut that for a moment in time, people.
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll say acted like they were.
• 21:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think some of the people know better and act like,
• 21:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've lost three or four now.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, come on, like we know better.
• 21:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: You people, you'd be like a month and a half.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're like, oh, damn, don't chance.
• 21:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: This happened a few years ago with the genome.
• 21:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: People were like, oh, genos, EDMVP.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, let's just one.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, and, you know, been proven right on that one.
• 21:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the Seattle absolutely did the right thing letting genos go.
• 21:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I thought the rate is were kind of nuts.
• 21:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: understood it, just trying to get like a baseline.
• 21:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know what, the genome defenders would say, the Raiders' offensive line stinks.
• 21:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And those people would be right.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those people would be right.
• 21:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: The time here you start looking is Tennessee going to get the one, the number one pick again.
• 21:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's trending that way.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Tennessee plays the Niners, the Chief, the Saints, the Jags.
• 22:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, I mean, I wouldn't get.
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: They get the chiefs in the Saints at home.
• 22:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they win the Saints game?
• 22:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, they play the Brown snacks.
• 22:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: That would be a good one.
• 22:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 22:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kids screaming upstairs.
• 22:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm down.
• 22:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Once again, for those of you listening to the podcast, I'm down in the in the seller studio, in the basement.
• 22:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: The the office, the main office studio is directly below the baby's room.
• 22:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Although the baby's not in his room right now, he is just,
• 22:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: owning this house at the moment, owning it.
• 22:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has made it his, which is good, which is good, wanted to be comfortable to express himself.
• 22:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So anyway, all right, on that note, what's going on this week?
• 22:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: More shows, definitely more shows, noters on a buy, very late buy.
• 23:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will be doing a college basketball game on Sunday for those of you that are interested.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be Oregon UCLA on peacock.
• 23:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's your Peacock subscriptions, Oregon, UCLA basketball on Saturday, and then be back on K&BR for 49ers radio filling for Greg Poppa, the following week for the, for the nine-day game, and excited about it.
