00:00 Are you more or less confident in the Niners?
00:02 Winning the Super Bowl now that you were before they made it real interesting.
00:08 Against the Packers.
00:09 So a little bit.
00:15 Because I saw Brock come back, but then right so a little bit there.
00:20 But then there's a lot that just makes me really concerned, which is Kyle,
00:26 which is the defensive line allowing teams to run all over them.
00:30 That's what they've been doing.
00:33 They just allow people to run on them and now they're facing the Lions,
00:36 who are a very, very good run team with a very good offensive line.
00:40 So I'm concerned about Kyle.
00:43 I'm concerned about our defensive line stopping to run.
00:46 I'm concerned about our pass rushers not getting home.
00:48 I do have more concerns.
00:50 I would say I'm less confident in the 49ers winning the Super Bowl than I was
00:55 prior to this game.
00:56 I don't I mean, the only thing that gives me more is seeing Brock do a comeback.
01:00 Outside of that, there's nothing that gave me more confidence
01:02 that they're going to win a Super Bowl.
01:04 Now, I'm not saying they're not going to,
01:06 but I am a little less confident than I was before this game.
01:09 I'm less confident, too.
01:11 I had a feeling that with this bye week, I mean, two straight.
01:14 It wasn't just a bye week.
01:14 It was a bye week in another bye week, week 18.
01:18 I thought the defense would come out fresh and energized.
01:23 And just I thought it would be I thought they'd be better,
01:26 especially against the run.
01:28 But without Cleland Farrell and you got Chase Young in there and he could be right.
01:32 And rest isn't the issue with him.
01:34 I'm concerned about the defense now.
01:36 Like, Amory's an issue.
01:39 Chase Young's an issue.
01:40 Bosa's invisible.
01:42 Um, Logan Ryan's an issue.
01:46 Tishawn Gibson isn't particularly good right now.
01:48 They can't stop the run.
01:50 They can't sack the quarterback.
01:53 I mean, if they make it past the Lions, which we expect they will,
01:57 that defense going to do against Patrick Mahomes.
02:00 We already saw what they did against Lamar Jackson.
02:02 It was nothing.
02:03 Couldn't affect them at all when they've gone against truly elite quarterbacks this year.
02:07 Truly elite ones.
02:09 They haven't looked so good, bro.
02:13 Yeah.
02:14 So we saw we saw how they performed against the Ravens.
02:19 And you would hope, you know, if they play the Ravens, you would hope you see.
02:22 Oh, it's after that Ravens game.
02:25 They've made a change.
02:26 They're they're way better now than they were when they played the Ravens.
02:29 But we haven't seen that.
02:30 And we still might have to play the Ravens to win a Super Bowl.
02:32 I actually did a poll grant with this exact question.
02:35 It says, did the wind make you more of this confident?
02:38 The 49ers winning Super Bowl this season.
02:40 It's almost like a three way split.
02:41 37% said more.
02:43 32 said less.
02:44 30 said same.
02:47 So the fan base is divided on how they feel.
02:49 It's either this majority feel the same or less.
02:52 Only 37% say more.
02:54 I don't feel more confident that the 49ers are going to win a Super Bowl.
02:57 Again, they may win a Super Bowl, but it feels like Kyle's going to really have to get his.
03:01 Be on his P's and Q's.
03:04 He's really going to have to have everything dialed in and execute and manage the game well.
03:10 In order for this team to win, because they're not as dominant as I would hope they would be
03:16 from a lot of standpoints.
03:18 And are we going to talk about the Lions game coming up?
03:20 Yeah, we're going to talk about them in a minute.
03:22 Okay.
03:23 Okay.
03:23 Are you more or less confident?
03:24 I'm a little less.
03:26 So we talked about the defense, but I mean, there's Kyle.
03:30 Like he hasn't necessarily grown like we thought he may have.
03:34 But then there's Brock, too.
03:36 I mean, it wasn't just the rain.
03:38 He just wasn't that good until the end.
03:42 And, you know, Amy Trask got a lot of heat for saying what she said.
03:46 That he was the worst quarterback remaining.
03:48 But then she said it before the weekend.
03:50 Then they all went out and play.
03:51 And the only quarterbacks who had worse numbers than him were love and Stroud.
03:57 So I don't know.
04:00 Like Bruce, it's not the numbers aren't everything, but like the three young quarterbacks
04:04 struggled this weekend.
04:06 Brock Stroud and love all struggled.
04:08 Older guys played better.
04:09 So I know we don't think of Brock as being a young guy, and he's second time through the
04:14 playoffs, but it's understandable that they would play.
04:18 Not the veterans would play better.
04:20 You know, they've been here.
04:20 They've seen a lot more.
04:22 You know, one of my the thing about Brock, that's not just it's not just the rain.
04:27 It concerns me about him.
04:28 It's safeties are defenses are sitting on these routes that the 49ers are running.
04:37 They're anticipating Brock throwing them right.
04:39 He throws to a spot, not the player and safeties are starting to anticipate and read that.
04:44 And it could become a problem.
04:46 The Ravens just did it perfectly against the 49ers that we saw it a couple times with
04:52 the Packers this last weekend.
04:55 So that's another concern of mine is Brock being able to read the safeties are sitting
04:59 there waiting for him to throw on these in breaking routes.
05:02 That's another concern I have.
05:04 And Brock, he'll get better at that through time throughout his career as he gains more
05:08 experience.
05:09 But that is also another concern I do have with Brock.
05:13 Overall, I have a Brock long term too, because we saw with Jimmy as teams got a better feel
05:19 for where he's going to throw, like what his passing chart is.
05:22 He got worse.
05:23 And that happens with every baseball players, basketball players.
05:27 When they see what your what your tendencies are as a hitter, where you want to hit, like
05:31 what pitches you want to hit?
05:32 And what's what's parts of the zone or a basketball player where you take shots on the court?
05:35 They'll defend you differently.
05:37 They'll pitch you differently.
05:38 Like that information is used against you.
05:40 And when you're the young dude having a lot of success, that's a big advantage you have.
05:45 People don't know you yet, but they're going to get to know you because you're so good.
05:48 You're not going anywhere.
05:49 And you're starting to see smart, savvy teams kind of like be one step ahead with you on
05:53 that.
05:54 That's a and if he's the real deal, as Kyle said, he'll adjust.
05:58 He'll change his game.
05:59 He'll say one step ahead, but that's the next step for him.
06:01 Yeah.
06:02 And he's a smart, smart kid, man, or not to call the kid.
06:05 He's a smart young man, and I don't doubt his ability to figure things out like that.
06:11 So I think maybe it's just time and practice and seeing it over and over again will help
06:16 him develop in that way.
06:17 Yeah.
06:18 But yeah, overall, man, I'm a little less confident.
06:21 Again, I'm not saying the 49ers aren't going to win the thing, but I saw some amazing teams
06:26 play this last weekend.
06:27 Patrick Mahomes is a scary dude.
06:28 Lamar Jackson is a scary dude.
06:30 Detroit is doesn't have a lot of weaknesses, man.
06:34 They really don't.
06:34 I think people think they're weaker than they are.
06:36 They don't really have many weaknesses.
06:38 So 49ers got to play like they're capable of playing.
06:41 Maybe it was the rust.
06:42 Maybe it was just the rain.
06:44 Maybe that's all it was.
06:46 And after playing the Packers, they'll get back into the flow of things to start dominating
06:50 teams like we saw during the season.
06:52 That's a possibility, but I don't see how you walk away from that game feeling like,
06:56 yeah, we just.
06:57 Yeah, they're not.
06:59 Yeah, they escaped against the seven seed.
07:02 And now you definitely look at the other.
07:03 Look at the one seed in the AFC.
07:05 They just destroyed Houston.
07:08 And I was doing around table doing a show a couple of days before the one day before
07:13 the game with a Lions content creator and someone else who was just unbiased.
07:19 And they both felt that the upset special of the week was going to be Houston over Baltimore.
07:23 A lot of people were predicting that, you know, Lamar, it's just not that good in the
07:29 playoffs.
07:30 Drought is that guy.
07:32 Houston is going to win that game.
07:34 I didn't.
07:34 In fact, it was actually Green Bay that was almost the team that pulled that off.
07:38 So yeah, man, I'm not saying I'm not picking the Niners win the Super Bowl, but Kansas
07:44 City looks good.
07:45 Baltimore looks good.
07:47 Both of those teams look are playing better than the Niners right now.
07:51 Both of those things are playing better than I know.
07:53 It almost feels like the AFC championship is the Super Bowl.
07:57 I think it's going to be crazy.
07:59 I hate to say that.
08:00 I hope the Niners win this damn thing.
08:02 I really do.
08:03 But I think it's natural not to be as confident based on what we saw.
