00:00 Tala Noah, huh? Funga when the Niners traded up to draft Jair Brown a lot of people thought okay that he's gonna replace
00:06 Tashaun Gibson in a couple of years, but Jair Brown really profiles more as like an in-the-box strong safety's not that fast
00:15 He's a lot
00:16 Like Tala Noah, huh? Funga who was an all-pro last year and may or may not have deserved it
00:20 But he was and his resume is golden and it's possible
00:24 He's gonna get paid top-of-the-market money for a safety and it's possible the Niners never ever intended to give Tala Noah
00:30 Funga that kind of money and they're sort of planning for a future. They don't have him. So my question to you is
00:37 Do you think the 49ers will explore?
00:41 Trades of Tala Noah, huh? Funga this offseason rather than give him an extension because really it's one of the other
00:47 Can't think so
00:49 he can't let his contract play I could and it doesn't seem like he would be necessarily the malcontent to like request a trade but
00:56 It's not necessarily how they do business for players who have done well. Yes
01:01 Rob stats pointed out a good statistic today. He's good at that. That's why they call him stats, right? Why they call him stats
01:08 Drake Greenlaw that well the combination of the 49ers linebackers
01:12 I know we're talking about Huff and I'm this ties to it
01:15 But the 49ers linebackers have missed three times the amount of tackles so far in the season that they did last year
01:21 We've seen the same problem with Huff. Yeah. Wow, exactly and we're seeing the same problem with Huff and
01:28 So I'm not sure where this is coming from my best guess and it doesn't really make sense
01:33 But I my best guess is they're not bought into
01:36 Wilks and they're not playing as hard for Wilks as they did for D'Amico and Salah
01:42 That's my best guess because it really doesn't make sense to me. I don't think they fell off athletically
01:47 I don't think Greenlaw and Warner fell off athletically. I don't think I fell off athletically now Huff is nursing a knee injury
01:52 They said might require a surgery
01:55 Before the season and he's trying to play through the season and get surgery after the season
01:59 So maybe there's a little bit of that as well, but I really like Huff
02:03 But my point was with the linebackers is just this whole team right now is playing below their pay grade below their level
02:10 But below what we're used to and so I'm not gonna just say oh, this is just Huff
02:14 Screwing up. It's the whole defense for whatever reason
02:18 I'm not sure what it is and my hope is that he can get back on track because I really like who fungi
02:23 Yeah, but look I'm just saying like with that all pro on his resume
02:29 Yeah, the reputation that he has the market that he has he could get top of the market money at
02:36 Safety and like let me tell you what that is like Derwin James making 19 million a year
02:40 Mika Fitzpatrick making 18 Jamal Adams 17 Jesse Bates 16
02:45 Justice M is 15 Buddha Baker 14 7
02:49 What's Huff making right now to 30 was Huff making as a fifth round pick like nothing
02:55 So if they bring back Huff, he's getting 15 million a year minimum
03:00 15 million a year and I don't know if the Niners necessarily would give 15 million to
03:06 Any safety? Yeah, you know I'm saying or can they afford it either?
03:11 So I mean they might be more inclined to trade Tala know if under the brand and I you they might I mean
03:16 We know they would pay more than 20 million dollars a year for a wide receiver
03:20 They're doing it right now. Would they spend 15 million dollars a year or more on a safety? I
03:25 Don't I don't think they would but I what I don't know
03:28 Well in Huff may want that money, but he did like you said he's not the type of player does
03:33 Just I'm gonna sit out and if I don't get an extension me I think what the 49ers are gonna do is just let it
03:38 Play let the contract pay out and deal with that when they have to deal with it
03:41 But again, I think Huff can bounce back
03:43 But you did make a great point regards to Jair Brown and Huff Jair Brown is closer to Huff than he is to Gibson
03:49 Yeah, my let it play out with Huffunga and he leaves as a free agent
03:53 They'd get a comp pick but nothing more than like a third and if they trade him, what is he worth?
03:59 I think with that all pro in his resume. He's worth at least a sec
04:03 Right, could you get a first for Tullin Oh Huffunga? No, no
04:07 Possibly
04:11 I think I think we'll see how up next year on the team at the same car on the same contract and I think they'll
04:16 Deal with that after the season. That's what my best guess would be with her. Yeah is more of a mystery to me
04:20 I there's so many options. I don't know what they're gonna do with PA
04:23 Jody Moore says Grant always enjoy. Yeah. Thanks Jody
04:27 Niners were always projected to lose five to six games and still go all the way
04:31 We are still in that lose window. Why do you feel like the wheels are falling off? I
04:36 Mean if you watch the I mean, sorry, you've watched the the three-game losing streak
04:44 I mean the offense is bad
04:45 The defense is bad the run defense the past defense the cut the past rush like the run gag
04:50 Everything is bad right now
04:52 You can't just blame one thing which to me is alarming and if they lose his fourth game in a row
05:01 Free fall mode. I don't know. That's why if you have to blame it on one thing. It has to fall on the head coach
05:07 I mean this the roster on this team is really good. So whenever you have a really good team
05:11 Losing the teams they shouldn't be losing to
05:14 That's on the coat. That's that's a coaching thing and ultimately it's Kyle Shannon who's accountable for all of that
05:20 If so, if you have to blame one thing it it's Kyle
05:22 But it's a whole team loss lately
05:26 Also, I feel like Kyle and Sean McVay are looking kind of similar these days guys who put together great coaching staffs
05:33 But those coaching staffs have been picked over
05:35 Those assistants are gone and those two guys are sort of on their own and neither one's offense looking so special right now
05:43 Like it's looking like maybe the brains of those two operations are gone or elsewhere in the league. Sorry to be so
05:50 Crash but it's hard to really compare Kasha and Hannah Mike McDaniel at this time in terms of just straight that's pure creativity
05:56 Yeah, I mean that's true from a creative standpoint. It is true. Yeah right now
06:00 Jewish guy says is D Bo's ego getting bigger since they haven't won since he's been injured. I
06:05 Don't know I don't know but I do feel like with D Bo
06:11 That's another guy who'd be probably putting up better numbers on. Can you imagine D Bo and Iuke on?
06:17 Miami
06:20 D Bo would be taking over the League of Miami. Yeah here. He's it's like they forgot how to use him. Yeah
06:27 Chris Teller Rico says huffs not good enough to pay top dollar for
06:30 Someone will though
06:33 Somebody will I train you would
06:36 Yeah, I think they would - that's why they got Jair Brown
06:39 I don't know. I mean he's good on a rookie deal, but I wouldn't pay that kind of money for him
06:42 Fifteen million dollars a year for her for huff. I don't even know what he does. Well right now. Sorry. I'm anti-paid
06:47 I I don't like I always look at things from I guess I can look for both angles
06:51 But I look at things from the team perspective and I don't like playing players
06:54 I feel like it's almost always a mistake to play high like unless you're a top 10 quarterback and a league quarterback, especially
07:00 Yeah, I don't like cuz to me like with defense defense is all about effort and passion and energy
07:06 And so you want guys to have that who are hungry?
07:09 In the Niners like they're none of their defense their defense is hungry anymore people don't talk about that
07:13 But it's like Bosa. Hey, yeah, arm said hey Hargrave paid Warner pay Greenlaw
07:21 various
07:23 Defense is well into their retirement fund, you know
07:27 Who's hungry on this team?
07:29 What's the middle class on this team the guys like Aziz and Jimmy Ward who were there to stop the run?
07:34 Those guys are gone
07:36 Unless you're like a Hall of Famer left tackle like Trent Williams or an elite quarterback. I don't want to pay you guys top money
07:43 I'm gonna do everything I can to avoid that if I'm being honest now if I'm a player
07:46 I'm trying to get paid and congratulations. I like when players get paid for them personally
07:50 But from a 49ers frank like owner standpoint, I'm trying not to pay anybody if I can avoid it
07:56 I mean
07:57 I just understand how the Niners pay for running backs and wide receivers and tight ends
08:00 when the best teams in the league Philly and Kansas City
08:04 Consistently will let wide receivers and running backs go get them on the cheap and focus their money on the trenches
08:11 Like Kansas City like they're like Tyree kill. Yeah, you're one of the most exciting players of all time. We're gonna we're gonna
08:17 Sign a left tackle in a guard. Thank you. Yeah
08:21 That's what it's about man. It's about quarterback and tackle
08:26 It's about quarterback and offensive line
08:28 then defensive line then everything else and with the 49ers even John Lynch recently went on NBC and said his
08:36 Philosophy and Kyle's philosophies is quarterback which we can question whether or not they've really done enough up there and then it's D line
08:43 Right, so they don't prioritize offensive line
08:46 Jody Morris has two questions for you Ryan
08:49 Are we exposed that we can't win without Trenton Debo lots of chatter about Sherm joining coaching staff good move for Niners
08:55 For me for you or Ryan got it. Okay
08:59 Are we exposed that we can't win without Trenton Debo? I think Trent
09:04 I definitely think Trent I think Trent is the big missing piece here over Debo. I think they'd be fine without Debo
09:11 They've proven that they can win lot without Debo in the past. It's Trent Williams
09:15 I mean look at this and I think we're gonna talk about that later
09:17 In a subject a little bit but this this offensive line. I vote had people vote
09:24 Where do you rank the 49ers offensive line? Excuse me
09:30 and
09:32 surprisingly
09:34 Most people that voted had him in the bottom half of the league as an offensive line. That's with Trent without him
09:41 They're definitely there with with Trent. I think they're higher than that. I was surprised 49 fans were so harsh on this offensive line
09:46 I think there may be more like 11 to 16 area without or with Trent Williams, but without him definitely they're at the bottom
09:52 So yeah, I think they've been exposed without Trent. They have a hard time running the football
09:57 What do you?
10:00 Sure, I don't know. I don't know. I like sure but he has zero experience. So we'll see he's smart guy though. I
10:05 Think the issue is more about Kyle man like
10:11 Look at McDaniel in Miami. He doesn't have Debo. He doesn't have Trent Williams
10:16 He's not he doesn't have use check or Kittle or McCaffrey
10:20 And he is the number one run game in the league average of 5.9 yards per carry with Raheem Mostert now
10:24 He's got good wide receivers and stuff, but he's not Trent Williams
10:27 Kyle supposed to be like the most creative coach in the league and if he only has McCaffrey Iuke Kittle use check
10:35 It's like he can't score more than 17 points. We got a look at Kyle
10:39 He's not doing a good job as a head coach or as an offensive coordinator
10:43 frankly, he wasn't last year either and
10:46 McCaffrey saved everyone and
10:48 Now like once McCaffrey has once the league has gotten a real good look at how the Niners are using McCaffrey
10:55 It's not as effective anymore. What's the next wrinkle gonna be last year? The wrinkle was McCaffrey the year before that the wrinkle was
11:01 Debo as a running back in 2019
11:05 The wrinkle was Raheem most are being the X factor as the backup running back this year
11:11 I mean is Kyle gonna figure it out to me. It's obviously Jordan Mason
11:14 It's obviously Jordan Mason. He should be getting 10 carries a game minimum and I think that could change anything everything
11:21 But I don't know if cause gonna do it
11:23 But Daniel would it was your donation? It could be it could be Brock pretty and Brandon. Iuke. They're not passing a lot
11:31 That's that's the other
11:32 Franklin I don't know if that if they want to or why they're not and I guess we'll talk about that but
11:36 Those turnovers are a doozy
11:39 Yeah, they're main picket member for 26 months a long time. Thank you. Jermaine Kevin F
11:44 Kev F Sherman and Jimmy Ward know the players are good. I'll say names a clown
11:49 I don't think that Sherman wants to be a coach
11:51 Yeah, why quality controls a thankless job? Yes, make a lot make a lot more money work a lot less doing what he's doing right now
11:58 now.
