00:00Okay, Brock Purdy's not playing in Green Bay.
00:03At least we have that definition.
00:05We're not going to do the walk up till game time scene.
00:08Nick Bosa is out as well.
00:10So the most important player on your offense is out, most important player on your defense
00:14is out.
00:15I know those are debatable, but you get what I'm saying.
00:18So what is your thought on how you approach this game mentally?
00:27Green flag or white flag?
00:29Oh, it's green flag.
00:31You're five and five.
00:32If it was eight and two, it would be white flag.
00:34If you're seven and three, you could white flag it or yellow flag it.
00:38Oh, I was waiting for the, yeah, waiting for it.
00:41Exactly.
00:42I didn't want to step on the all important can opening.
00:45We need one today.
00:46Yeah, we do.
00:47Wow.
00:48If you're five and five and you know that you need to probably win five of the last
00:51seven to have a chance, realistically, 10 and seven, I don't think nine and eight gets
00:55it done.
00:56So you don't have a chance to white flag or yellow flag or black flag, red flag.
01:02There's only one flag you have and it's green flag and it's, Hey, Brandon, we brought you
01:06in because we believe in your ability to win a game, not lead us to a 10 and seven year
01:11win a game.
01:12And he had practiced Thursday.
01:14He had practiced today.
01:16He's being readied to be the man and he still has Debo and George.
01:21I don't believe George is on the list.
01:22You got Christian.
01:23You got Juwan.
01:25You got Ricky.
01:26You've got enough to where you should still be able to go out there and compete and maybe
01:31win this game.
01:33It's a green flag.
01:34I'm with you, but, but, uh, that's an interesting way to sort of phrase it.
01:38What you just said.
01:39I think that comes from the fact that we follow this team and you know it inside and out.
01:44I would, I would venture to guess that normally when someone who has no dog in the fight,
01:51when they open up the schedule for the weekend in the NFL and you see spreads that are North
01:57of five or six points, you do not think that that underdog is likely to compete and keep
02:04it close.
02:05And I'd also argue there are different kinds of five, six, seven point underdogs.
02:11This one happens to not be because, Oh, you're, you're, uh, you're a lesser team.
02:17If you will.
02:18This one is because you're in a lesser situation like, uh, Brandon Allen, I would argue pretty
02:24much knew he was going to start this game at about two 30 yesterday, which means he
02:29got about like 11 minutes of practice that day and then practice today in the rain.
02:36That's how long he's had.
02:38And I know his job is to be ready and I'm, I'm with you.
02:40I'm agreeing with you, but I am not expecting the 49ers to go out there and show well on
02:47Sunday.
02:48I hope, I hope that my, I certainly wouldn't use the word expect.
02:52I think that he got more practice time than that because Brock went out after session
02:56two on Thursday and on Wednesday Brock didn't throw it all.
03:00So it feels like he got more of a, Hey, I mean it looks like it might be kind of a week
03:06and then today no Brock at all.
03:07So he got today as well, still thought he was going to be the backup though on Wednesday,
03:11the team clearly thought Brock was going to be fine maybe, but Brock didn't throw.
03:15So at the very least, if Brandon's out there, he's being told like, it's pretty obvious
03:20that Brock's not throwing and you are.
03:22So there's at least a maybe, I'm not saying that one extra day makes it so, Hey, now the
03:26Niners should win because he got three days of practice and not one and a half.
03:30They're up against it.
03:31But I do think it's interesting that looking at the betting markets, it's now leveled off
03:37at five and a half.
03:38Okay.
03:39When the news broke, it jumped from two and a half to five and a half and it looked like
03:42it was about to go to six.
03:43But since then, money's come back in on the Niners and it right now is dead even in terms
03:49of the odds.
03:50Yep.
03:51Five and a half.
03:52Right.
03:53But it's minus one 10 minus one 10 either way.
03:54Did you happen to take note of what the over under did?
03:57I'm curious on that too.
03:58Like this is expected to be a lower scoring game now.
04:01I didn't really note where it was.
04:03I see that it's now at 44 and a half, four and a half, which I think I want to feel like
04:08it's always been about there based on the weather, you know, and uh, whether it's supposed
04:12to large, I mean, green Bay, uh, speaking, it's supposed to be fine, better than last
04:16night.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Mid forties dry.
04:19Right.
04:20And not being a night game.
04:21You probably won't get that late.
04:22Oh, it is late snow that we got last night.
04:23It's kind of a night game there.
04:24It starts at four 30 or uh, I guess three 30, three 30.
04:28Their time.
04:29That's a dark second half.
04:30That's a nighttime second half.
04:31Right.
04:32And I thought last night where that game's with mini shovels, went through my head.
04:37My head was like, I wonder if they put heaters under the yard line and it melts the snow.
04:46And then I find out, I'm like, Oh yeah, no, that's just draw that.
04:49Somebody's got crayons.
04:50Okay.
04:51And they drew on the TV screen.
04:53Yeah.
04:54They can't see what the hell's going on.
04:55So it turns into a total mess for their offense and the defense.
04:58Anyway, no snow in green Bay, no Brock in green Bay, no Bosa in green Bay on Sunday.
05:05Wow.
05:06You're five and five and two of your, I don't know, six most important players and maybe
05:12no trend.
05:13Trent is at best.
05:14We're going to get word.
05:15Well, that'd be three of your top six.
05:17I don't even think I'd predict right now based on Trent.
05:20I don't know how many of y'all do this.
05:21Do y'all do the Adam Schefter thing at like midnight on Saturday?
05:24Yeah.
05:25Right.
05:26You got to go out there.
05:27You got to do three people.
05:28It's Schefter, Rappaport, and Pellicero.
05:30You got to go to their Twitter feeds like at about 11 PM and sometimes even later because
05:35they're on the phone with agents and executives and they get the word of like, this person
05:41is not expected to play tomorrow or this person is expected to play.
05:44And then sometimes you get a, it's a true.
05:47We don't know.
05:48We'll find out in pregame warmups.
05:50And that's what I bet we're going to get on trend.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Oh, for sure.
05:54I think it'll be him going out there.
05:55He probably gets ready to play, gets the shot and goes out in pregame warmups and you're
06:00going to see how it feels.
06:02It's pain tolerance.
06:03And I do think that he would be more likely to go now based on the fact that you don't
06:07have your starting quarterback and you don't have your wide receiver already.
06:11Your tight end is probably going to be a little bit hampered coming back from his injury.
06:15You got to be out there for Trent.
06:18It'd be nice.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Cause does it, doesn't it feel right now?
06:21Like you'd love to actually see what everybody was asking for come Monday, which was, can
06:27we see Christian and Jordan Mason, can we do both?
06:32And if it's November and it's late November and it's 47 degrees and it's damp because
06:37at least the runoff of the snow that happened yesterday and you don't have your quarterback,
06:42I don't know, run the ball seems like good idea.
06:47And um, if you're going to run it 30 to 35 times, that doesn't sound like a one person
06:51job to me.
06:52No, it sounds like you need your best left tackle as well.
06:56And that's where you've gotten the most yards historically on the ground is behind Trent
06:59Williams.
07:00So if you don't have Trent and you already have a little bit of vulnerability with your
07:04center and your left guard, your right guard has been great.
07:06You're right.
07:07Tackle.
07:08Not so much.
07:09Where are you going to run the ball?
07:10Who are you going to run behind to try to get these yards against the green Bay team
07:14that pretty much knows you're going to want to run it with a backup quarterback under
07:18center and you know, maybe it's time to do our Brandon Allen homework and start to cue
07:23up some tape on Brandon Allen and see exactly what he can do.
07:26Brandon Allen is what I would sort of what I know of him and you're right that we haven't
07:31seen him in quite some time in the NFL.
07:35But from what I know with his time in Cincinnati and whatnot, I would sort of like term Brandon
07:40a solid backup with a question mark.
07:44No, like I mean, middle of the road type backup quarterback in the NFL.
07:48Yes.
07:49Somebody who can, you know, he can move the ball a little bit.
07:55He's he's not your best backup in the NFL.
07:59He's not your worst.
08:02But no, this is like there's no tiptoeing around.
08:05This is a terrible situation.
08:08It might not be this week only.
08:10Yeah.
08:11The 49ers.
08:12Don't forget this now in 11 days.
08:14They're on Sunday night football in Buffalo.
08:16You had a long range forecast on that one.
08:19I'll take a look at one feels even colder to me.
08:22Yeah.
08:23And even snowier.
08:24Most likely.
08:25So here's Kyle Shanahan on.
08:26OK, he's out this week.
08:28But what about going forward after that?
08:31I don't want to say there's long term concern.
08:32You know, we got the MRI on Monday.
08:34We thought he just needed some rest and really weren't concerned about him not being good
08:38this week.
08:39But when he started up Thursday, just surprised him, surprised us how it felt.
08:43So we had to shut him down and several of them want to think of it.
08:46You know, the MRI doesn't look like that.
08:47So it should be all right.
08:49But on the way it responded this week, it's really up in the air for next week.
08:52So we'll have to see on Monday.
08:54OK, you ready for your Sunday, December 1st long range forecast for Buffalo, New York?
09:02Yeah.
09:03Twenty seven and flurries.
09:04I got a prediction.
09:05I got thirty three degrees and a 30 percent chance of precipitation, which would mean
09:10snow or at least if it comes or sleet.
09:13Yep.
09:14No doubt.
09:15And remember, it's a night game.
09:16Thirty three would be the high.
09:17Right.
09:18So that's coming in about two o'clock.
09:19They're starting this game local time at eight twenty.
09:22And you realize that 30 percent chance of rain does not mean 30 percent chance of rain
09:27in that spot.
09:29of the people in that area will get rain.
09:32That's what the percentages mean.
09:34I did not know that.
09:35Yeah.
09:36So I learned last year.
09:37So like if you're a crowd like maybe only the people who are between the 40s.
09:43That's right.
09:44They get precipitation.
09:45And if you're at Levi's, it's a 30 percent chance of blindness.
09:47And it's only those people on the sunny side.
09:50All right.
09:51What like what I think the only question for people and by the way, just so you know, this
09:56show's yours today.
09:58Not that it isn't always, but you know what I'm saying?
10:01Like we got a warrior game here in a couple hours.
10:04And so a warrior's life starts in an hour.
10:06The warriors are going to kick the Pelicans butt here in in two hours.
10:11So that's fun.
10:12And we'll take you all the way up to that.
10:14But for the next hour, it's forty nine of football and the fact that they will go to
10:18Green Bay without Brock Purdy and without Nick Bosa.
10:22So in your mind, eight, eight, eight, nine, five, seven, nine, five, 70, the emotions
10:27of this moment, how are you feeling about the season now?
10:31Where are you at with regard to this particular season?
10:36Your emotions around it, what the 49ers should do, how they should play it.
10:41You and I walked in here Monday morning to a chorus of some people who were already like,
10:47oh, let's check out some young people.
10:49Let's check out what young people can do now, because this season's over and we're
10:53both like, no, it's not.
10:56And I think you and I are both still in that camp because Brandon Allen's allowed to win
10:59a football game.
11:01So I'm not going in.
11:02That's my answer.
11:03I'm not going anywhere until I see them with my eyes lose both of the next two games.
11:10For me, that's how long the conversation there's no give up, not even a little bit, at least
11:17to me, that's when the conversation starts.
11:19But some of you might be further along.
11:22How do you think the Niners should play this?
11:24What do you want to see?
11:26Because there's no Brock Purdy this weekend.
