00:00Are people overreacting to this win over the bears?
00:02I mean, after all, it was the bears.
00:06Well, I mean, I was on KBR today with Greg Papa joking.
00:10They're back.
00:11They're back.
00:11But I mean, you know, the big question coming out of yesterday is that question was yesterday
00:19about the Niners or was yesterday about the bears?
00:23All I will say is I think the defense was about the Niners.
00:28Why?
00:28Because I saw the bears run for five yards of carry in a couple games in the lead up
00:34to this, and the Niners bottled up the run big time.
00:38I thought their defensive effort was really, really strong.
00:42They were flying around.
00:43Afonga gives them another defender in the box who knows how to play run defense.
00:49That's helped.
00:49I thought Campbell had his best game.
00:51I thought Mooney had his best game in a long time, in a long, long time.
00:57Mustafa Gross Motto's D Winters was flying.
01:00Sam Aquino Evan Anderson.
01:02I mean, they had some guys playing up front, so I think defensively I want to give the
01:06Niners credit where credit's due as far as as far as defensively offensively.
01:14You know, this bears team, you know, they didn't have a lot.
01:19I mean, they didn't show a lot.
01:21They didn't look like a lot to me.
01:23You know, Montez, I'll give the tackles credit.
01:27Jalen Moore and McKivitt shut down Montez Sweat and Daryl Taylor.
01:31They had the bears had three hits on the quarterback all day.
01:36So I mean, and Jalen Moore, who the hell are you?
01:39What's that?
01:40Jalen Moore.
01:41Who the hell are you?
01:42Jalen Moore.
01:43Who knew?
01:44Who knew Jalen Moore?
01:45Yeah, he's been here forever.
01:47I love how the Niners have these guys that are just chilling on the bench for like a
01:50presidential term.
01:52And then they get on the field and it's like, oh, you're good.
01:55You can start.
01:56That's like Jawan Jennings is one of those guys.
01:58I love it.
01:59Yeah, and Jalen Moore is definitely one of those guys.
02:02Yeah, Jalen Moore.
02:05I'll tell you, you know, it's like the locker room can be, you know, different
02:08areas, different moods and different vibes.
02:12Man, you go over to Jalen Moore.
02:13He's got a smile on his face.
02:15He's, you know, eating a sandwich.
02:17He's just happy.
02:18No one's ever trying to talk to him.
02:19He's hanging out now.
02:21That's all about to be different.
02:22Yeah, I mean, he's just chilling.
02:24He's I've interviewed him a couple of times.
02:26He's just the happiest guy there is.
02:29Yeah, I mean, he's a good football player.
02:31I thought Ben Barch, you know, he went out in this game, but I thought Barch was like,
02:34you know, he looks like a player.
02:36You know, that's the thing with Barch, though.
02:38He's gotten injured.
02:39Yeah, but it makes me it makes me wonder, though, if they wanted to move on from
02:43Brendel, how would Barch do as a center?
02:45You know, because he played center.
02:47So I like him.
02:48He just have to stay healthy.
02:50Yeah, he's kind of high cut.
02:52He got rolled up on from behind on a on a run block.
02:54Didn't he have like a dislocated knee in the past?
02:56He's had some some lower, like some issues with his legs.
02:58Remember, he's kind of long.
02:59He's kind of long cut.
03:01You know, he's kind of a tall center.
03:02But no, I mean, Moore's played well.
03:04Barch has played well.
03:05So I would say defensively that that was a great effort.
03:09And I liked what I saw.
03:12They made Caleb, who at times looks really good.
03:15I mean, I think it's really clear when the Niners shut down the run.
03:19They're they're a world's better and they don't shut down the run much, but they shut
03:25down the Bears run.
03:26And every single time they got to third down, whether it was Malik Collins or Yatir Gross
03:32Matos, Leonard Floyd, somebody stepped up and made an impact play and got him on the
03:38ground on third down.
03:39So seven sacks.
03:41I mean, I think I got to think a few of them were on him since he came in with forty nine.
03:46Yeah, I mean, I agree with that.
03:48The only thing about the defense is they in the second half, they gave up the touchdown
03:52drive in the first series.
03:54Then freaking Caleb Williams fumbles and then they have a touchdown drive in their next
03:58series.
03:58So it's possible that the Niners were just kind of in like a not a prevent defense, but
04:03a softer zone because they're up by like thirty or twenty four or whatever.
04:06And I mean, really, Caleb Williams was just throwing like little seven yard outs the whole
04:11game.
04:11He never really threw a pass that really threatened the forty niners.
04:14So in that sense, they did a really good job.
04:17I'm curious to see what they'll do against, obviously, Stafford and golf, what they can
04:23do against more playoff caliber opponents.
04:26But like you said, those defensive linemen really stepped up from Gross Matos to Floyd
04:32to Collins.
04:33They hadn't done anything like that all year to do that without Bosa.
04:36That's a big deal.
04:38I still think, though, that like anything the Niners did yesterday was going to work.
04:42The Bears, let's talk about the Bears for like 60 seconds.
04:46Damn, that's all I have to say.
04:49They have talent.
04:50They're just they're hurt.
04:51D.J.
04:52Moore, that wasn't the D.J.
04:53Moore that the rest of the league saw this year.
04:56He was totally hurt.
04:58That first half of some of the worst football I've ever seen from an NFL team.
05:01Yeah, they had four yards.
05:02They were terrible.
05:03They were absolutely terrible.
05:04I'll say the other thing that stood out in this game, the Niners got their explosives
05:10going and the defense just gave none.
05:14I mean, the Bears had one double digit run.
05:18They had a 10 yard run from Caleb.
05:21That was their longest run.
05:22They did not have a 20 yard pass play.
05:24They had a 17, a 14 and a 14.
05:27But other than that, I mean, it was hardly any explosives for the Bears and the Niners
05:31had a bunch.
