Are the 49ers Looking Ahead to the Ravens?
Analyzing whether the San Francisco 49ers are looking ahead to the Baltimore Ravens.
Transcript
00:00 Only concern I really see man with this Niner team is staying healthy, man.
00:04 They got the troops, they got the players, they just gotta stay healthy, man.
00:09 And I was listening to Larry and coach a little bit ago, and
00:12 I think they made a good point, man.
00:14 If Dre Greenlaw is not 100%, let's let him sit out this weekend, man,
00:18 cuz I still think we can handle the Cardinals without Greenlaw.
00:22 But going into that Ravens game, man, it's gonna be an all hands on deck.
00:26 Like we blew out Philly, but Ravens, Maine, Philly,
00:30 Lamar Jackson, we gonna test our run D.
00:33 >> I have a concern for this week, are the 49ers overlooking the Cardinals?
00:40 They say they're not, they're so good, they're such a good team.
00:44 But it seems like all the players who are hurt aren't playing.
00:48 I mean, if Greenlaw sits out, it almost feels like you said, hey,
00:52 you got a big game next week against the Ravens.
00:54 Are they looking ahead to the Ravens, and how could you not?
00:56 >> How could you not?
00:58 But at the same time, I mean, you gotta respect Kyler Murray.
01:02 I mean, my opinion, I mean, he's not, I mean, he's right there with Lamar.
01:08 I mean, he's had a little bit more injuries, holding him back,
01:11 hasn't had such a great supporting cast.
01:13 >> He had some success against the Niners too.
01:15 >> Yeah, exactly, so for him to go into there and for the Niners, I don't know,
01:20 I almost feel like I'm with you a little bit.
01:22 I kind of feel like they may be overlooking this because all this,
01:26 they're such a great team, blah, blah, blah.
01:28 >> Yeah, got it, like talking themselves up, right?
01:30 Like we're definitely gonna play super hard this week,
01:32 except all of our hurt players are gonna take the week off because they're getting
01:35 ready for Baltimore.
01:36 And we're basically gonna bring in our JVB team, but
01:38 we definitely are gonna beat Arizona.
01:40 >> I mean, I don't know how much you remember the first Cardinals game, but
01:46 they're running back, drew a blank.
01:47 >> Conor.
01:48 >> Conor, he was having a field day with us.
01:50 Didn't he get hurt towards the end of that game and got pulled out?
01:53 >> That might be right.
01:54 The game was 21-16, Niners with about four minutes left in the third quarter,
01:59 with Josh Dobbs as their quarterback, so.
02:00 >> Yeah, and I thought- >> And that was with Armstead playing and
02:03 Hargrave playing, and this week now you're not gonna have those two.
02:06 The Cardinals really run the ball quite well.
02:09 They're committed to it, they're good at it.
02:11 They have the same yards per carry as the Niners.
02:13 And so a lot's gonna be dependent on Kinlaw and Givens and McGill, and
02:18 whoever else is playing D tackle for the Niners in this game.
02:21 Can you hold up at the point of attack?
02:23 >> Yep, and you gotta almost play honest football with them.
02:27 You gotta play 11 on 11, why?
02:28 Cuz Kyler's gonna, man, I'm telling you, don't let that boy get out that pocket.
02:33 Cuz if they go into it with the game plan, how they did with Jalen,
02:37 it'll be okay.
02:38 >> They're in trouble, they're in trouble.
02:40 >> If they can hold him in the pocket like they did Jalen Hurts, as long as-
02:44 >> Yeah, but if you remember what they
02:45 wanted to do with Jalen, it was like, man, you can be in the pocket, or
02:48 you can roll out of the pocket.
02:49 But we're not gonna let you scramble up the middle.
02:51 But if you wanna roll out of the pocket the back way,
02:54 go ahead cuz you're not that fast.
02:56 You're not gonna turn the corner and outrun Dre Greenlaw or Fred Warner.
03:00 >> Kyler really is.
03:02 >> But Kyler can.
03:03 >> Kyler can outrun all them Ds.
03:04 >> Kyler does, routinely.
03:06 So it's not like, hey man, flush them out of the pocket the back way.
03:09 Like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, keep him in the pocket.
03:11 He's not gonna beat you from the pocket, but he will be beating you from the pocket.
03:14 >> Our two D tackles, there are starters that are missing that are out.
03:17 They helped control that containment of that pocket to keep Jalen in there to make
03:21 him play quarterback.
03:22 With him not being there, I don't know how disciplined Kinlaw's gonna be.
03:26 How disciplined T.Y. McGill's gonna be going in there.
03:29 They're gonna be able to maintain- >> They need Kahlia Davis to have a game.
03:32 >> Yes, yes, he looked pretty stout when he played last week, but
03:36 he gots to have a game.
03:38 >> Right, right, right, hold on, I'm just looking at what they got.
03:40 Kevin Givis, Javon Kinlaw, Kahlia Davis, those are their D tackles.
03:43 And I guess, what, T.Y.
03:45 McGill's in the practice squad, they could call him up.
03:47 >> [LAUGH] >> Hey, they should win this game,
03:50 12 point favorites, I believe.
03:52 But you can see how this could be a game.
03:55 They fall behind.
03:56 I mean, their offense should be fine.
03:58 I kind of expect Banks and Burford to play.
04:00 They were both limited participants on Friday.
04:03 I expect them to play, the offense should be fine.
04:05 McCaffrey had a huge game against them, Purdy had a huge game against them.
04:08 I'm just curious to see what this defense looks like.
04:11 That being said, they only have to, it's Connor, Marquise Brown,
04:14 Trey McBride.
04:15 Could be worse.
04:16 >> Yeah, definitely could be worse.
04:18 I think the biggest threat is gonna be containing Kyler Murray.
04:21 If they let him start slipping out of the pocket,
04:23 if Kyler Murray gets two or three good rushes on the Niner's defense,
04:28 it's gonna be a downhill battle for the Niner.
04:30 Because that's just gonna boost his morale, and
04:33 they're just gonna take it to us.
04:34 Kyler Murray's not afraid to get out that pocket, he's slippery.
04:37 Like we all say, he brought Purdy's mobile and can get around.
04:40 Kyler Murray's twice as good as him, rolling a scrambler down that back pocket.
04:44 I mean, he's- >> No question.
04:45 >> The guy is freaking fast, I mean.
04:47 >> He might be the best scrambling quarterback in the league.
04:49 People forget about Kyler Murray cuz he's been hurt for the last year, and
04:52 he's been on some bad teams.
04:53 But he had Cliff Kingsbury as his coach.
04:55 And literally what the Niner's been saying all week is like, man,
04:57 they're so much better without Cliff.
04:59 That's basically what they've been saying without saying it.
05:01 Like, man.
05:03 >> Think about last year, like Philly's defensive coordinator,
05:05 he's their coach now, right?
05:07 >> Yeah.
05:07 >> Look how good Philly's offense was last year, they were dominant last year.
05:11 This year, look at Philly now without him, they're garbage.
05:13 They're practicing plays with Jalen Hurts falling on the ground.
05:16 >> That's crazy, man.
05:17 >> Yeah. >> But their biggest concern, man,
05:19 is gonna be stopping Kyler Grant.
05:21 But I'm gonna let you get out of here.
05:23 Love the view.
05:24 Have a great game. >> Way to lead it off.
05:26 Way to lead it off, man.
05:26 Have a great Saturday.
