Why the Browns Defense is the First Real Test for the 49ers Offense
Analyzing why the Cleveland Browns defense is the first real test for the San Francisco 49ers offense.
Transcript
00:00 The Niners may actually have a test this week
00:02 The Cowboys weren't a test but the Browns
00:06 The Browns are better the Browns. Uh
00:10 Have the number one defense in the league. They're giving up 3.8 yards per play
00:14 They're not giving up many points. They've given up three points in a game twice this year
00:19 And they have miles garrett who has five and a half sacks through four games
00:23 They also have deshaun watson who's been injured
00:26 And he's been through
00:30 You know
00:31 But he's the kind of quarterback who gives the niners problems kind of guy can get out of the pocket and throw the ball down
00:36 the field
00:38 Okay, here's what's an interesting game
00:40 Also, they're coming off a bye weekend. It's going to be in cleveland. It's 10 o'clock start for the niners
00:43 Those are all the things going against him
00:45 I want to say something interesting
00:49 Grant and I we go over our topics
00:52 We did it last night and then we talked this morning and we we went over our topics again
00:57 And i'm looking at the topics and I said
00:59 We haven't included cleveland
01:02 We had all this standard and the mvp and I said, you know, you think we should talk about cleveland?
01:07 So here's the point
01:09 For the two of us. We overlooked the game. Yeah, it was like
01:12 Cleveland we didn't even think to talk about the game now
01:16 I can tell you that kyle shanahan is thinking about the game. I know coaches. It's not like he's saying cleveland sucks
01:24 You know, we're gonna do a minimal effort. He's planning against them as if they're philadelphia
01:29 God love them. That's how coaches are but grant and I
01:33 completely whiffed on the game so
01:36 um
01:38 It shows that we think the niners are going to win and the game is in a way
01:44 Unimportant a stepping stone something like that
01:47 And I do think they're going to win until they lose a game. I'm picking them every week having said that
01:53 You don't win by not playing you have to go over there and beat them
01:56 And I think we have the wrong mentality like we acknowledge that the cowboys were frauds
02:02 not a real test, but I think
02:05 Maybe the niners think that they the niners seem to judge them
02:08 So they mean that rivalry means so much to them and beating the cowboys means so much to them
02:12 You see with kittle in his shirt
02:14 I'd hate to think that the niners feel they've proven themselves
02:17 and that the that they've passed their test and that that they can cruise now because
02:23 Cleveland's a bigger test than than dallas cleveland on the road coming off a bye. Uh, 10 a.m
02:28 It's a bigger test than dallas like dallas
02:30 Isn't going anywhere
02:33 Cleveland has the might have the best edge rusher in football at miles garrett
02:35 He's really really really good and at deshaun watson. I think he's better than dac prescott. Who's a
02:40 He's terrible
02:43 I think you're making a really good point and i'd like to phrase it in in my words
02:49 The coaches are taking this game very seriously like it's philly coaches
02:53 The maybe not the players the players may be different the players may be we're really good. We've arrived
03:00 We've arrived we've arrived and that can happen in a locker room. That's why
03:06 Coaches must police a locker room correct to say
03:10 You know what? I'm worried about this game. I'm really preparing. You know what you need to also
03:18 That's you didn't prove anything against dallas. You have to reprove yourself every sunday
03:24 That's why kiddles, uh f dallas t-shirt sends the wrong message. It's not about dallas
03:29 No, it's about standard
03:31 It's about the state. It's not about dallas and last year after they beat dallas in the in this playoffs
03:36 The niners were so proud of themselves
03:38 the next week they
03:41 Laid an egg against the eagles like that's the test you want to talk about the test
03:45 The philadelphia eagles are the test not the dallas cowboys. So they were so
03:50 Proud of beating dallas that they really weren't mentally prepared
03:53 Any of them for that game against philly and i'm afraid that's going to happen again
03:59 like and even after they lost to philly, uh, they went to
04:01 There was this thing called the sbs, which is like the espn sports awards like the grammys freaking george kiddell was there did a whole like
04:09 Singing routine where he talked about beating dallas like anyone cares
04:14 Man, you lost to philly in the nsc championship game. So i'm talking about beating dallas
04:18 So I really hope the niners don't think that that's an accomplishment
04:20 Arizona beat dallas move on
04:23 You know iggy the more you talk about kiddo the more problems I have with him
04:28 I do he wants to be the center of attention. He's focused on the wrong things. They beat dallas
04:34 Who cares? Okay. Um
04:36 Who cares and that t-shirt he wore?
04:39 Can you imagine steve young wearing a t-shirt like that? No steve young young would rent zones at the
04:46 Brent jones, they would respect the opponent
04:49 jerry rice they would
04:51 the
04:53 opponent
04:54 Deserves respect. These are your peers the game deserves respect and what I think
05:00 Uh, this kid kiddell does
05:03 First of all, he's so self-involved. I I I can't imagine
05:08 Uh what it's like and he lowers the the level of the game
05:12 He lowers the culture of the game and iggy. I don't like it. You know, I wonder really what the what his um,
05:21 The other players on the team feel about him and you know
05:25 And hi, I and carl again i'm not there but I always didn't like people who wanted to be in front of the parade
05:33 Who wanted to be?
05:35 Right like that in front of the parade. I mean, look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me
05:39 Frick warner isn't like that and warner's a more important player on the team than kiddell
05:45 warner has
05:47 such dignity
05:49 Such gravitas. Yeah such maturity. Who would you rather have dinner with kiddell or or warner?
05:57 warner
05:59 Yeah, you know, you'd have to laugh at his jokes, which aren't funny
06:02 Yeah, you'd have to laugh at his jokes. You'd have to tell him what a privilege it is to have dinner with him
06:06 Yeah
06:08 Yeah, you know, here's my impression of george kiddell. My impression of george kiddell is that he doesn't like me
06:13 But he likes bantering with me
06:15 because he thinks he's funny and wants to prove it to himself because he thinks i'm funny and wants to like go back and
06:21 Forth and have a little moment. It's like no i'm, sorry
06:24 You're not I would also say I want to extend the the having the dinner metaphor
06:30 If you had dinner
06:32 You and I and steve young he would ask about us
06:35 Yeah, uh grant. How's your show going? Lowell? What's it like in retirement? He actually had interest in other people
06:42 Do you think kiddell would ask uh, iggy? Uh, how's it going with you and uh, lowell? What are you doing in retirement?
06:48 You know steve young brent jones would do that. Yeah
06:51 Yeah
06:53 Yeah, one more thing. I want to make a comparison kiddell kiddell is
06:56 One of the best tight ends in niners history
06:59 And he's a complete diva and no one calls him on it. Everyone's oh, what a what a character
07:04 What a character that george kiddell is. All right. All right. So another great tight end the niners had vernon davis
07:11 He got the diva label too early in his career mike singletary called him out
07:16 Never ever ever called attention to himself ever again
07:20 And people still think of him as a diva and don't think of him as one of the niner's greatest
07:26 players they think kiddell's better but
07:29 Vernon davis had 63 touchdowns in his career and kiddell has 34
07:33 I just want to point that out like vernon davis
07:37 Was a more productive less self-involved tight end than george kiddell vernon davis. That's very interesting
07:44 And I would say when I would talk to vernon davis, he would give honest answers
07:49 He would go deep inside to give answers kiddell. I feel is performing
07:56 Uh, joe staley was someone who'd go deep inside to give an honest answer. Wouldn't you agree?
08:02 No, I don't know him, but I feel he's performing. He's trying to project a certain persona
08:08 Uh, you know wild child that kind of thing
08:12 I would absolutely agree. Yep
08:15 uh
08:17 I think we got a couple more of these
08:19 Matt mccuhan says looks like watson isn't going to play shoulder issue love this show
08:23 Keep up the good work with the legend of qc. I thought he was uh, medically cleared
08:26 We'll have to see that was gary plumber shirt from 94 says matt mccuhan
08:29 All right, oscar says that shirt was an homage to gary plumber. He wore it
08:33 Okay, what does does he even know gary plumber? He doesn't even know he knows gary plumber. How do you know he knows him?
08:40 Jad is jatt says green law hits
08:43 um with holy retribution insanity
08:45 He really is hard
08:48 Ricky williams says brock got compared to montana this morning by rex ryan curious of papa cohen opinion on that
08:53 We did that but yeah, what do you think? Okay?
08:55 I I gotta tell you something
08:58 I have a problem with the whole ryan family
09:01 Yep
09:02 Buddy ryan and his not exactly serious. Yeah. No, they're they're blowhards. It's uh in the family. They're a bunch of blowhards
09:10 Yep
