00:00Go back to my old neighborhood
00:02not
00:03So let's line them up eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven. Oh, I I really do
00:07I want to do rapid fire. I want to hear from our fans
00:10Niner fans
00:12You're hearing all this stuff about
00:14about devontae adams
00:16You know what's going on here like
00:19Are you in or out and if the cost is either debo or iuk are you in or are you out?
00:25It's very simple and then why?
00:28Eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero listen
00:34You act like you're surprised that people are so out on brendan iuk when we had this conversation all off season about brendan iuk
00:41I don't understand why you feel so surprised about it after the dialogue. We had
00:45all summer long well because I feel like um,
00:49Very similar to leonidas in 300. I was fighting the good fight all summer basically saying that like hey
00:55I I I see the other side of not paying brandon iuk. I'm not saying that he hasn't earned the money i'm saying in this
01:02Offense on this team the way they play football. Is it a great way to spend money?
01:09And like the guy had a great year
01:11But it's not like he's had a great career up until that point like when I pay premium dollars
01:17I want to know that you've been a premium player year in year out now like
01:22You'd say to me joe then you're not going to pay a lot of players and i'd be like well
01:26Like top of the market guys better play like top of the market players for multiple seasons before I break them off that money
01:33That's just how I view things right? And so
01:36I was a little skeptical on paying brandon iuk. I did. I think he was really good. Yeah, I thought he was really good
01:42But I wanted to see it for another season and I wish he would have played on the fifth year option
01:46I know that was unrealistic and probably not fair to him and like I get it
01:50Like I what i'm asking wasn't even probably real but that's that's the way I would have operated. We didn't know
01:57hesitant
01:58well
01:59Now that i'm thinking
02:01Would davante adams even want to come here knowing how this offense operates?
02:05Because shanahan's on record saying I don't game plan for guys other than debo and basically chris mccaffrey
02:10But i'm not going to force feed guys in this offense davante is used to getting 10 to 12 to 13 targets a game
02:16That's not happening here. I'm, sorry. It's just not
02:20It's not but when I look at brendan now, you can you know, I think
02:24We don't give him enough credit
02:26For the production. He's given the 49ers over the last four years
02:302020
02:31So this rookie year 2020
02:34I didn't even notice because he was he only played in 12 games
02:37But i'm looking at just the raw data the raw data and the last year in which they end up in glendale
02:42Arizona, we were talking about this yesterday during the pandemic season
02:4660 catches 748 12 and a half yards of carry, uh a catch and how many quarterbacks did they have that year in 2020?
02:53four jimmy
02:56mullins
02:57Mullins got drenched bethert that they went back to one other guy. There was somebody late this season
03:02Yeah, who was it late this season that they played anyway 2021
03:07And jimmy was you know erratic as all hell
03:11826 yards 56 catches
03:1415 yards to catch not mad at that for a second year and it's all fits
03:18Then he goes for a thousand the next year and I know everybody will say well 17 games a thousand yards doesn't mean as much
03:23but
03:24When you factor in you had trey lynch a quarterback
03:27You had jimmy garoppolo a quarterback and did you have brock pradesh three different quarterbacks?
03:31I mean, that's a lot of that's some good production knowing that you have three different quarterbacks
03:36And we know how jimmy played at times. We know I trade lance played at times
03:39We know I brought was basically an unproven guy at the time and then last year he exploded so I would say
03:45He's had a good career so far
03:48I don't think we give him a net enough credit for the career
03:50He's had in this offense when you consider they don't throw the ball a lot
03:54But your point is well taken in paying the guy when you're not going to force freedom targets
03:58Paying the guy when you're only going to give them seven or eight targets a game
04:02I get all that I get that but I think the guy could be a stud in this league
04:06I really do and I think the offseason kind of told us that there were teams that were looking at him
04:11Saying yeah, we would love him on our football team
04:13I think the national media guys like ryan clark other guys around this league
04:17They look at brendan
04:17I could say yeah, this guy could be a baller
04:19So let's see what it looks like this week
04:22Like I i'm out of all the guys i'm gonna say this every single week boy
04:25It'd be nice to get him a hundred yard game boy. It'd be nice to get us some explosive plays
04:29I don't know. I I just I view receiving
04:32Uh in the nfl and like I know that the the old way like a thousand yards, right like
04:36I I get what you're saying. Like that's a lot of production. But like with the 17 game schedule
04:41It's not what it used to be and there were 50 guys in the nfl last year that had 750 or more yards
04:4750 at various positions guys had a thousand yards, uh 29 or 30
04:52Okay, 29 or 30. That means there's one pretty pretty much one on every single team, right and I just
04:57When you're getting top five top six money at the position
05:01No doubt it resets everything but I want you to be top five top six year in year out for multiple seasons, right?
05:06And that's that's that's the way I really truly separate the great players and like nick bosa, you know was
05:13Top top player at his position year in year out for multiple seasons and even then it's like that's a lot of money
05:18You know, like that's a lot of money, you know, and so did he play up to his contract last year?
05:24No, no, and we destroyed him. Everyone destroyed him, you know, and that's yeah, that's what we did. So
05:30Um, I don't know and I just look at the way that they want to play football though on defense
05:34Like bose is gonna be one of the primary players. No doubt about it moving forward, right?
05:39So like you pay fred warner top of the position top of the craft and the way they play football. He's extremely important
05:45Iuk's a really good player
05:47but the way they play football is
05:49We're gonna run the ball down your throat and we're gonna try to hit you with the play action and we're gonna throw to the
05:53Open man, so I just don't think it's great business when you already had debo kind of locked into the money
05:59He was making and the window passed itself to trade wind to trade debo
06:03Like it wasn't great money spent to give him 30 million dollars a year. I'm not gonna reserve
06:08I'm, not gonna say it's not great money spent when we're only four games into the new contract
06:12I I think that's a little premature. Let's see how the season plays out
06:16We're only four games in
06:18And a lot of people said that him holding in which is his fault and the front office not getting the contract together and all
06:23that stuff done
06:25It's part of it's on him, but i'm not gonna say man, this is not money well spent we're only four games in
06:30I'm, not gonna do that yet. I'm, not gonna do that a year less than
06:34Let's let's get to november. Let's get to this. I'm not saying it on him
06:38I'm saying for me and my football building my team building strategies
06:42I personally believe tight end is one of the most valuable
06:46Bang for buck positions in the sport when the top of the market is 15 million dollars 16 million dollars a year
06:53Like that's half of what a great wide receiver costs you I think that you get
06:57Unbelievable production like i'm looking right now at laporta laporta had what it was like 800 and something yards last year
07:04He was making nothing right like that's part of my equation of of looking at it
07:08Like I don't think spending 30 million on a receiver is great money unless it is
07:13You know what justin jefferson in production right now across the board has been down in the league. What's that tight end production around?
07:18Around the league it's been down dramatically. I mean jarek goff has more touchdowns than
07:24Sam laporta is like
07:26In general when i'm building a team
07:2917 million 16 million for the best at the position is half of what one great receiver costs you
07:34So I looked at the miami dolphins business model and I was like, I don't think it's great
07:38I don't like playing jalen wattle and tyree kill. I just don't I don't love the way philly has it set up with devontae
07:45And aj brown even though I think their receivers are more important to their offense
07:49Yeah, I do and I think they're gonna once aj brown gets back. I think that offense will be
07:53Rocking and rolling again. Once aj brown gets back. They need those white receivers in it
07:57It's a passing league. You kind of need white receivers. You need threats down the field now
08:01There's some old school teams that are ready to ball
08:03But look as good as david montgomery jameer gibbs are for the detroit lines
08:07Isn't it great to have amara saint brown and jamison williams face one-on-one coverage?
08:11Jamison williams is catching drag routes going 70 yards. Yeah, but jamison hasn't he hasn't been he's not up for a contract extension
08:18Not yet, but he's a first-round pick
08:20I look at it like in and I look at the the chief's business model the bills now currently like
08:25The way it is is once you start paying your your quarterback
08:27I know the niners have yet to do that
08:29But once you have all these expensive parts on the outside when you pay the quarterback you go cheap on the outside
08:35Considering that the college ranks is giving us, you know, way more playmakers than ever before
08:40let's see about buffalo because
08:43i'm gonna give them a caveat or i'm giving a little you know pass for
08:47The way they got handled in baltimore, um short week. They played on monday night football look amazing against jacksville short week to baltimore, but
08:55they got handled and
08:58They look like they needed some weapons in the past game baltimore is all over those dudes
09:02And that's the team they're probably gonna have to face down the line here
09:04Now I want to see what happens with buffalo as they lean on kill
09:08Shakur and a rookie and keon coleman who's trying to find his way in the league dalton kinkaid is a fine white receiver
09:14But let's see if they can navigate and win big games without a true true number one now
09:18They don't have a travis kelsey kansas city does yeah, and and what we found out later in a year
09:23Rasheed rice had all the potential to be a number one white receiver
09:26He started coming on in the second half of the season became a threat in their past games
09:31So but again in that in that in those business models you're citing dalton kinkaid was a draft pick and it was a job
09:35Rasheed rice is the second round pick making second round money and
09:39Xavier is a late first rounder making late first round money not 30 million a year
09:43Yeah, but 30 million a year you can you can find it you're playing quarterback 60 million a year
09:48They're not always worth it. It depends on what you like. I think in today's league. You need a premium pass catcher
09:54You really do now you can cite all these guys say well
09:57This guy didn't win the super bowl and that guy didn't win the super bowl
09:59Well, what was the quarterback doing did the quarterback throw the ball on time?
10:02Did the quarterback throw an interception?
10:04Did the quarterback make the read I would rather have the premium player on my offense?
10:08As opposed to not having a premium player like I can't imagine going into week one this season
10:13Without brendan. Ayik knowing that chris mccaffrey was out
10:17We would all have been freaking out if that wasn't the case knowing that brendan ayik was on the field
10:22I think everybody was like, oh
10:24We've got number 11 back. Yeah, it's better to have them than not have them and you can still afford them
10:28So, I don't know. I I think it's a little early to write off brendan. Ayik right now
10:32I don't think he's writing them off. We're just well, we're assessing what we're seeing so far, but you know what?
10:37As shanahan said after the minnesota game
10:40He thought brendan. Ayik played really really well in that game and that brought pretty missive at times
10:44And so I go back to that opening monologue by randy malson the receiver doc
10:48We can't control when we get to football
10:51We can't control when the ball is thrown to us
10:53We can't control whether or not the quarterback sees us and we're talking about brendan. Ayik completely different
10:58If brock purdy hits him on the deep route in the fourth quarter on the go route
11:02We're talking we're thinking about brendan. Ayik completely differently like wow
11:06Look at brendan. Ayik make the adjustment on the busted coverage and scored a game winning touchdown
11:10Don't you think the noise would have dissipated a little bit?
11:13yeah, sure, but I I also think that like
11:16Again, we're this isn't about one game
11:18this is about like how you build your team and moving forward and just like
11:22Kind of synergy and everyone being on the same page and it just feels a little off
11:26Right now it's definitely off. Yeah, it's gonna be off but tom brady had his gronk. He had his edelman
11:31He had his wes welker
11:32paid man
11:33He had his reggie wayne had his marvin harrison had his brandon stokely had his demarius thomas had his eric decker had his wes walker
11:39Wes walker in the slot
11:41um
11:42All these ben verathasberger had his guys right heinz ward antonio brown whether it's mike wallace whether it's antonio holmes
11:48He had his guys though. We kind of want brock purdy to start to build synergy now
11:51He's doing that with jawan jennings. We don't want brock purdy to just have a guy knowing that hey i'm third down
11:56I could get this guy to ball. He's gonna make a diving catch
12:00They like, you know
12:02it's brady pointing at the line and i'm gonna throw to this guy and he's gonna change his
12:07The the niners offense is like we throw to the open guy
12:10It's just it's just different the way the niners play football is very different
12:13than a lot of those other teams and like as brock has kind of showcased like
12:16Whether it's chris connelly in a playoff game or jawan jennings in week three
12:20Like if you're open i'm going to you
12:22You know sobert catching passes on a final drive
12:25Like if you're if you're open i'm pretty much gonna go to the open guy if you are running the proper route
12:30Let's go to uh, larry in a city larry what's happening?
12:35What's up
