03:02 It's one of the better players.
03:03 It's one of the better players.
03:04 It's one of the better players.
03:05 It's one of the better players.
03:06 It's one of the better players.
03:08 It's an NFL game, right?
03:11 I know the Cardinals are the Cardinals.
03:14 I mean, they just beat the Cowboys by 12, right?
03:17 You gotta take them seriously.
03:18 I think you have to take every team seriously.
03:20 No, you don't.
03:21 Listen.
03:24 Not the Broncos. Not anymore.
03:25 There hasn't been a team that's gone undefeated since the Patriots.
03:29 And then in the postseason, they went.
03:31 They lost.
03:32 So, I mean, on the right situation, I think any team could pretty much be…
03:39 You never know what's going to happen.
03:40 What if you're playing Arizona and then your quarterback goes down, right?
03:45 Or what if you're playing Arizona and three quarterbacks go down,
03:51 which has happened.
03:52 And I know, albeit, it was against Philadelphia, right?
03:55 But we've seen that.
03:56 We've already seen that happen.
03:58 So, crazy.
04:00 So, best guess for the betting public out there.
04:02 You think Debo's going?
04:03 You think best guess?
04:04 I'm going to guess yes.
04:06 I think yes.
04:07 He's trying to get those stats.
04:09 Okay, but Jawan Jennings most likely not going.
04:11 I don't know the Niners record without Jawan Jennings,
04:14 but I don't think it's good.
04:15 So, I'm curious.
04:16 That's probably great.
04:17 But…
04:18 Is this…
04:19 Is this another bell time?
04:22 Is this bell time? Ring the bell?
04:23 Ring the bell?
04:24 Bell time.
04:25 What do you think of Ronnie?
04:26 I like Ronnie Bell.
04:27 He's going to be their primary slot receiver next year
04:29 when Jawan Jennings is making bigger money elsewhere.
04:32 Yeah, you said…
04:34 I think you tweeted one time.
04:36 You're like, "Did Ronnie Bell just Wally Pitt?"
04:40 Just Wally Pitt.
04:41 You've got to be at least 35 to know that reference.
04:44 Wally Pitt was the first baseman for the Yankees.
04:47 He took one day off.
04:49 Lou Gehrig replaced him and never missed a game.
04:51 Like, he was Iron Man.
04:52 He just never, ever, ever not played
04:54 until the end of his career when he got Lou Gehrig's disease.
04:58 Yeah.
05:00 I mean, to me, that would be a play straight out of my playbook
05:04 because if it did come to that,
05:07 because, like I said,
05:08 I believe you can find wide receivers and you can replace them.
05:12 I know IUK is awesome.
05:13 He's great.
05:14 But you've already put so much money in Debo.
05:16 And if…
05:17 I'm just saying, if Ronnie Bell,
05:19 if his career keeps ascending like that,
05:22 I think it might be worth looking into, right?
05:25 And something that, because I haven't been on the show,
05:29 we haven't talked about,
05:30 is that if you look in the past,
05:32 the Niners are actually pretty freaking good
05:35 at drafting and developing wide receivers now.
05:38 Jalen Hurd notwithstanding, but that was a mistake.
05:41 And I…
05:42 Jalen Hurd and the Cat guy.
05:45 What?
05:46 After that, Jalen Hurd and the Cat guy,
05:48 but you throw those two out.
05:49 That's true. That's it.
05:50 You throw those two out.
05:51 Like, and if they hit on…
05:53 They're good.
05:54 …Ronnie Bell, yeah.
05:55 Yeah.
05:56 I mean, they hit on Kendrick Bourne,
05:57 didn't pay him, made the right call.
05:59 He's a good player, but they can replace these guys.
06:01 Probably not going to pay Jawan Jennings.
06:03 Someone else will.
06:04 Like, a lot of teams aren't good at drafting
06:05 and developing wide receivers.
06:06 I would hope the Niners are good at it
06:08 because it's a position Kyle played himself.
06:10 And I never understood what he thought he saw in Dante Perez.
06:13 But we don't need to go there
06:15 because that's neither here nor there.
06:17 But whatever he thought he saw,
06:18 it wasn't there and he learned.
06:20 And Ronnie Bell, honestly, when I watch Ronnie Bell,
06:22 he reminds me of Dante Perez,
06:26 just in, like, their size and their height, weight, speed
06:29 and kind of how they move,
06:30 except Ronnie Bell's, like, has all the toughness.
06:35 He's a dog.
06:38 Dante was…
06:40 is…
06:42 not a dog.
06:44 But neither here nor there.
06:45 Ronnie Bell.
06:47 How many catches do you think he's got?
06:48 Over, under two and a half.
06:49 Over under two and a half!
06:51 And he catches the ball.
06:54 He catches the ball.
06:55 Like, when that ball went up the end zone,
07:01 did you have a feeling when it went up
07:03 and it was, like, I don't know,
07:04 when it was, I don't know, five inches from him,
07:06 I knew it was going to be a touchdown, right?
07:08 Like, he wasn't going to drop that ball.
07:11 No.
07:12 It just…
07:13 You know what that reminded me of?
07:14 Remember week three, 2019,
07:17 when the Niners eked out that win over the Steelers
07:20 and Mason Rudolph at home?
07:21 And Dante Pettis made the game-winning touchdown catch
07:24 in the left corner, front left corner of the end zone.
07:25 Remember that?
07:26 Uh-huh.
07:27 How could you forget that epic game?
07:29 Well, it just reminded me of that play.
07:31 But better.
07:33 [laughter]
07:35 So, okay, I'm curious to see Ronnie Bell.
07:38 Without Jawan Jennings,
07:39 it almost feels like there's more pressure on Debo to play.
07:41 Like, because if you don't have Debo or Jawan Jennings
07:43 in the starting, then your receivers are Ayuk,
07:45 Ray Ray, and Ronnie Bell,
07:47 which, frankly, they could beat the Cardinals
07:50 by double digits with Ayuk, Ray Ray, and Ronnie Bell.
07:53 I'd like to see Ray Ray get some playing time on offense.
07:56 I'm not making fun.
07:57 I like Ray Ray McClellan.
07:58 I think he's, like, the most underutilized player on the team.
08:01 Take some of Kyle Juszczyk's snaps and give them to Ray Ray.
08:06 I'm tired of watching Kyle Juszczyk do nothing.
08:10 You know what I'm…
08:11 You know what I'm tired of not seeing him play at all?
08:16 Is Jordan Mason.
08:18 Jordan Mason.
08:19 Jordan Mason.
08:20 Okay, so let's talk about that.
08:21 Elijah Mitchell, questionable with a knee injury,
08:23 hurt himself in practice.
08:24 Hey, if he's less than 100%,
08:27 how about Jordan Mason?
08:30 Remember when they gave Jordan Mason the ball,
08:34 like, three straight times to close the game out?
08:37 And, you know, the game was over.
08:40 The game was over, right?
08:41 And they weren't going to throw the ball.
08:42 So they're like, let's…
08:43 So the defense knew they were giving the ball to Mason,
08:47 and he's still…
08:48 And he's three straight times, he got positive yards and got the first down.
08:52 So I just don't understand the reluctance to play him.
08:57 Every time, I don't know, every time I or you,
09:01 you've got other content creators out there that watch Jordan Mason play
09:06 and are like, wow, this guy's great,
09:07 and they've been kind of banging the table for him as well,
09:11 at least from what I've seen on Twitter.
09:13 I just don't know what the reluctance is to play him.
09:16 Is it, you know, because everything from what I've seen,
09:20 he certainly looks like he's a back…
09:24 Is it the fumble in preseason?
09:26 I mean, that would be a shame.
09:27 Let me just tell you real quick,
09:28 do you know how many carries he has this season?
09:31 Three.
09:35 Five?
09:36 Three.
09:37 And you know there's the…
09:39 It was like the closeout…
09:41 Yeah, it was the series I just spoke about.
09:43 Yeah.
09:44 So do you know the stat success rate for running backs?
09:48 It's like, did you get 40% of the required yards on first down,
09:51 60% of the required yards on second down,
09:53 and 100% of the required yards on third and fourth?
09:55 So by that statistic, he's 66% success rate on those three runs.
10:00 Elijah Mitchell this year, 25% success rate on 16 carries,
10:05 averaging 3.3 yards per carry.
10:07 Don't know what's going on with Elijah Mitchell.
10:09 Doesn't seem like himself.
10:11 I think it's time to let Jordan Mason be that number two running back.
10:14 I think he's a perfect complement for McCaffrey.
10:17 I don't know.
10:19 I agree.
10:20 I don't know.
10:21 I feel like Jordan Mason's going to be the…
10:24 What's going to happen with him is it's going to be a situation
10:27 where he has to play like McCaffrey and Mitchell aren't available.
10:32 Mason's going to get the ball a lot and he's going to look good.
10:35 And then he's going to be a free edge.
10:38 Yeah, and someone else will get him and actually use him.
10:40 The Niners always have like one or two players that they keep on their roster
10:43 because they know other teams would do something with them,
10:46 but they don't know what to do with them.
10:47 Like Ross Dwelley has been that guy for seven years.
10:50 They refuse to let him go, but they never use him.
10:52 And then Richie James was that guy for a while.
10:55 They just had him here, and then he finally let him go,
10:57 and now he's like productive.
10:59 Oh, he's gone.
11:01 Oh, he's back.
11:02 Sorry, I lost you for a second. Are you good?
11:04 All right. Yeah, you're back.
