00:00 Tylenol funga definitely does have a torn ACL terrible. He had a knee injury coming in the year Baker sis
00:05 I don't know if he was playing hurt. He didn't quite seem like himself
00:07 Kyle Shanahan said he hit a lull the last few weeks during the
00:10 Losing streak now, they got Jair Brown who was their top pick this year. They traded up for him
00:16 He looked good in the fourth quarter
00:19 He gave up that one long catch then he made up for it with three tackles three pass breakups and a pick
00:24 I mean really the night like
00:26 I'm gonna ask you a question a second. I promise but like the Niners were folding
00:30 Literally folding and he made the plays in the end zone twice to close the door
00:35 The Niners didn't slam the door shut on the Bucks Jair Brown
00:38 Slammed the door shut in the Bucks if I'm being I'm not being too reductionist here. That's the way I saw it
00:44 Huge plays in the end zone
00:46 You feel about him replacing huff down the stretch because that's what's gonna happen I
00:53 Actually feel really good about it now
00:55 Clarify I feel horrible about huff huffs one of my favorite players on this team to be on
00:59 I just love his personality love his attitude seems like the nicest guy ever
01:04 I love how he played last year's it hasn't been the same this year. Maybe this knee thing
01:09 Somebody I was reading. I don't know. I want to talk to maybe the doc Parav
01:14 or Narav Pandya
01:16 And ask him his opinion
01:18 but that Baker says somebody said that that Baker's just could be tied to that ACL and if they just chose to play him and
01:24 They knew that that was a risk. That's bad
01:26 So I'm hoping that's not the case and it's just a random accident
01:30 But anyways, it just sucks man huff because I really like him
01:33 that being said I
01:36 Think Brown could be just as good as that guy
01:39 I just have a feeling about him and what I saw yesterday what I've seen in college watching the tape. They're very similar and
01:44 Brown my
01:47 I'm just I don't want to talk bad on huff going through this injury, but I will say Brown looks really freaking good man
01:53 I like him
01:55 Yeah
01:56 So here's what you can expect from Brown it ten picks in college
02:01 So this is sort of what he what he did yesterday wasn't a fluke
02:05 Also his final year at Penn State when he was a senior
02:09 He had four and a half sacks and you've seen that Steve Wilkes
02:14 Wants to blitz his safeties. He blitzes Tullin OHA funga a lot
02:17 But he didn't draft Tullin OHA funga. He inherited Tullin OHA funga and Tullin OHA isn't quite the blitzer that
02:26 Brown is I don't think I think Tullin OHA funga kind of falls off those tackles a little bit and now you're gonna see
02:33 Maybe a more aggressive Steve Wilkes with his safety
02:37 You think you're gonna see Jairo Brown make more plays just in general, but also behind the line of scrimmage
02:43 Yeah, I just I just like what I see from him he just seems like a ball hawk and
02:48 Telling always to to be fair. I just don't think there's gonna be a drop-off
02:52 I just get that feeling that could be wrong. Obviously been wrong a couple of times before once or twice in my life
02:58 but
03:00 When I watched a air Brown I see somebody that's actually similar to huff and there's some things that I like better
03:07 Um, I what I don't think is gonna happen is a sincere like a big drop-off
03:11 Now maybe the learning process of it just understanding the defense understanding NFL scheme
03:16 all of that might be a little bit behind huff in that regard because there was a time where huff was
03:22 Seemed like a half-second slower than he then you would want him and then that was his first year and then his second year that
03:29 I'll disappear that all dissipated and I think that was mostly just because
03:33 Huff relies on his mind and his instinct more than his speed
03:39 Enjoy your Browns not fastest guy either so you could see a huff
03:43 That was similar to rookie year somewhere
03:46 But but I think it's gonna be a cross between huff rookie or huff second year is what we're gonna see from him
03:52 I I think Jair Brown is gonna be a solid replacement and I don't think there's gonna be a huge
03:58 Huge drop-off outside of a couple blown coverages here and there
04:03 I'm looking at the stats on pro football reference according to them. Talanoa fung in his career has blitzed 52 times
04:10 According to them seems like more 52 times two sacks in his career
04:15 So he's not that much of a weapon in that way people, you know, he's compared to Talanoa to Troy Palomaro
04:21 They they worked at his mentor Troy Palomaro was a big-time sack guy
04:25 I made all kind of plays behind a line of scrimmage if you people remember he would jump over
04:29 The line of scrimmage a time to snap you did crazy stuff. That's not necessarily Talanoa
04:34 It might be Jair Brown Jair Brown seems like he could do more of that. I
04:38 think people have
04:40 People have the tendency to call people like oh, he's Samoan he's Samoan. They're the same. They're really not no
04:47 No, just just there's someone doesn't mean they're the same and they know each other and they went to USC
04:52 They both could be in head no
04:56 They're different players. So I understand that he's trained by him and they know each other but they're not the same player. I mean
05:01 You're talking about a Hall of Fame
05:04 Calibre player versus Huff and he's not we're like a 4-3 first-round pick great player
05:09 We don't need to bring him up in that conversation. Yeah, maybe he'll get there
05:12 But I think Jair Brown man from what I've seen from him in college
05:15 I went after I'll be honest. I don't watch a ton of college football. I am now because I'm not coaching anymore
05:21 Basketball and so I'm able to watch more college
05:25 Football on Saturdays and I've been watching it. But when they draft the Jair Brown, I didn't really know much about him
05:30 So I went back and watched the tape and after I watched it. I was really excited about what I saw from him
05:35 So I'm excited to see it play out
05:37 I you know, I'm not glad it comes at the expense of an injury to Huff
05:41 But I think Jair Brown has something there. He he looks like a franchise caliber
05:47 Player like he'll be here for a long time. I
05:52 Agree it's gonna be interesting to see which one of them starts next year if they start next to each other. It's possible they will
05:57 Which is weird though, because I I've heard you say and I agree that they're more similar than they are
06:04 Right. He's more like Huff than he is like Gibson. So starting together
06:09 I think that was the plan originally, but I don't really see that in my head. Yeah, I'm not sure about that
06:15 I always I've part of me wonders if they were
06:18 Planning on trading her fungal one at some point and not resigning him if he got too expensive
06:22 But now that may not be an issue. Sorry Huff. I think they drafted him to replace Gibson, but I don't think that's
06:29 Who he is. Yeah, I'm not sure that that's who he is either Brian Culp says Jake booty is legit
06:36 He's gonna break your heart. I'm sorry
06:39 You
