00:00 Because their minds are so blown that they lost it. There's been strife after the game
00:05 Could you talk a little about the strife after the game?
00:08 Which you don't usually see on a team. It tells some of the things that have been happening since they got beat on Sunday
00:15 Well immediately
00:21 Brandon Iuk went on social media and says don't forget how you got there
00:25 Then his brother says how do you let your all-pro wide receiver go and get three catches in the Super Bowl?
00:30 This is why we're not this is why we're leaving San Francisco
00:32 Vegas here we come and then his girlfriend goes on tik-tok and says gee this might be our last time at Levi's Stadium because we
00:38 Might not be here next year. So already Brandon and Iuk is is really upset
00:43 And frankly, I don't blame him at all. He had a great he's right
00:47 I mean, I don't know if I would say it publicly, but I don't know if I wouldn't he was he had a great year
00:51 He deserved more than six targets and three catches in the Super Bowl
00:54 Especially when they're force feeding Debo who didn't have a great year should have went to Brandon. I understand how he feels then
00:59 People realize that the the final play of regulation. I said they should have ran it third and four
01:04 I've not a regulation of overtime. I said they should have ran it they pass and
01:08 Brandon I used to open in the end zone wide open. He made his defender fall down
01:12 but party can't get the pass to him because there's a
01:17 Unblocked rusher and someone online said oh, it's Colton McKivitt's his fault right tackle. He should have blocked this guy
01:23 Freaking John Feliciano the right guard who left the game early with an injury or something
01:28 Goes on Twitter and responds to some random guy. It's as nice
01:32 No, I'm a cook McKivitt's his fault if the right guard just blocked who's supposed to block it wouldn't been a problem
01:36 The right guard in the game was Spencer Burford. He goes on Twitter. It's like gee. Thanks a lot John
01:41 Then John comes back like a bunch of hours later. It's like hey, sorry, you know, I was hungover
01:46 I was in a bad mood. I was you know this and that so there's like public back-and-forth
01:51 Finger-pointing on Twitter about who was it who lost the game? I mean
01:58 Really exactly what you don't want from a team after a crushing loss
02:02 No, that's when they hang together and and losers don't hang together losers don't hang together
02:09 Feliciano to have done that if he had a problem with Burford to call him up
02:15 Talk to him in the locker room. Talk to a coach. You don't go public with it
02:19 I would have to say it was a punk thing to do. I don't know the guy he may be very nice
02:24 I agree. He should really apologize
02:26 He should crawl on his knees to Burford and apologize for having done that. It was very very bad. I
02:33 Agree I'll go further the Niners should not resign John Feliciano. Goodbye
02:40 You're out
02:42 For that I have to agree with you
02:44 You're out
02:46 You're out. You're no longer part of this team you in the crisis moment. You revealed who you are
02:51 You're not a 49er. Gotta go. Sorry, not sorry. I love it for everything
02:56 But this is thank you for Burford's job and if they can they want to bring in someone else to compete with him
03:00 That's fine. But Spencer Burford people forget he was 21 when they drafted him. He just turned 23
03:06 He has a bright future
03:08 He did make a mistake on that final play a lot of people made mistake
03:12 I made mistakes up and down like left and right in that game. So yeah, it's really
03:16 Unfortunate it's too bad to see this team that's been so tight for so long
03:20 Split apart right now, but maybe it's just the emotion of the game
03:24 Well, you can't no no, you can't do it. You can cry like I you did
03:31 You could be glum like you saw those guys today
03:33 You can't attack each other a team sticks together if there's an issue you work it out in private. It was
03:41 Juvenile and punk what Feliciano did I'm gonna tell you something else. Yeah, we've been on and was crazy
03:47 Like it's offensive lineman. That's like that's like supposed to be the most tight-knit position group on the team
03:53 They get no credit. No glory. All they do is it?
03:57 You know singled out when they make one mistake. They're the most supposed to be the guy saying don't put it all on him
04:03 It's not his fault
04:04 But John Feliciano needed to set the record straight on Twitter to protect Colton McKibbitz
04:09 Why because that's your friend and you could do it at the expense of Spencer Burford who was your competition at the spot you wanted
04:15 Well now you're a free agent. Goodbye. I
04:17 Hope I'm with you if it's appreciates what you did because no one else does yeah
04:21 And you know Spencer Burford is gonna remember what you did the rest of his life and he has every reason to not like you
04:25 It wasn't your place with you to set the record straight on Twitter. Twitter isn't a real place
04:31 Yeah, and and a gentleman and and a grown-up does it face to face
04:39 Yeah face to face or you keep your mouth shut
04:43 I mean, I don't know Spencer Burford that well
04:47 But I have a feeling that if Spencer Burford had any issue with John Feliciano
04:51 Spencer Burford be the kind of guy who would walk up to him and say something face to face in a good spirit not
04:56 Behind the back on Twitter. I said, I think I know Burford well enough to say that I
05:02 Love it. I love it. I'd like to
05:08 Go ahead
05:09 Well, I was saying we're talking about strife on the team. I would like to point out another area of it
05:15 We've been critical of Shanahan saying it's conceivable. He didn't know the overtime rules
05:22 Okay, we criticized him for it
05:25 But after the game at least two players came out and said they didn't know the overtime rules use check and Armstead
05:33 Am I correct Iggy?
05:35 Okay, let's leave let's leave you check out of it for a moment
05:40 I want to talk about Armstead because he was for the play where you know
05:44 The heart what is whatever award it is and he's got a literacy project up in
05:49 Sacramento so I assume he can read because he has a literacy project if he can read couldn't he read the rules?
05:56 Isn't he a grown-up? Um, yeah, isn't he responsible for his own job?
06:01 Isn't he a professional and this applies to use check in all of them?
06:06 But I'm going after Armstead because he's got a big mouth. I'm going after him
06:10 You're blaming the coach after the game because you didn't know the rules. What do you do, baby in in in?
06:18 Elementary school you you have to have the teacher. This is your job when I was a journalist
06:25 I knew what the rules were this literacy genius
06:28 Couldn't take five minutes and read the rules and now after the game is blaming the coach
06:32 Yeah, pretty ass. So that's an
06:35 Yeah, so that's another form of dysfunction where the team is strife has strife and is fighting against itself
06:43 I think what you checked it and
06:46 What?
06:48 Armstead did is despicable. It's disgusting
06:51 Don't blame the coach blame if you want
06:55 don't talk about it or blame yourself because you should have known the damn rule and it's it's of
07:00 Course the coach should have gone over it, but you're responsible for your for what you do, too
07:07 so I don't like what he what he and you check did and if I were
07:13 Kyle Shanahan went and thank God I'm not I wouldn't appreciate that one either
07:17 Throw me under the bus because you didn't look up the rules. What are you 11?
07:23 There's more
07:25 There's more. I like that. There's no one Steve Wilkes
07:28 It seems like Steve Wilkes has been on the hot seat all year like they've been itching to make him the scapegoat
07:33 Someone asked today. Hey Kyle, you know, you're gonna bring back Steve Wilkes
07:37 And he's like, well, you know, yeah, I haven't had those really conversations yet. I got to talk to my coaches
07:42 You haven't talked to it was like
07:43 Are you bringing back Steve Wilkes? I got off. I'm sorry. I don't understand. Are you bringing back Steve Wilson? He was I I
07:49 Gotta talk to my coaches. I mean, I I expect that I will but it was very non-committal which again I I
07:55 Expect they'll bring back Steve Wilkes, but the way they answered the question today. It made it seem like
08:00 They might they might reconsider. I
08:03 Don't know. What do you think of that? Did you hear that? I
08:06 Did I thought I heard him say I think I assume they'll all be back
08:12 I thought I heard him say that but that's vague and that's just a placeholder. It's a placeholder
08:19 So so who knows let me ask you this Iggy a fair question
08:23 If you were coaching the 49ers, would you let Wilkes go based on what happened in the Super Bowl?
08:30 I
08:34 Think I would let him go. I think what they asked him to do was unfair
08:39 Come to our team don't coach your defense whatever scheme you want to do is wrong do what we do, but
08:48 Don't coach in the booth be on the sideline. It just felt like they neutered him
08:53 Hey, we want you to be our coach, but we don't really want you to be our coach
08:56 Let him go and promote someone from within who knows what you want to do Daniel Bullocks has been there for eight years
09:02 What about that guy? I think they put him in a terrible position. I
09:06 Agree they put him they made it a scapegoat
09:10 now, let me
09:12 Let me say this. I felt for the four regulation quarters
09:17 That defense played very well. I
09:19 Don't think they played well in overtime
09:22 You know more about this stuff than I do. It seemed like they went to a soft zone
09:27 Did I just lose you Iggy? Yeah, hi
09:30 Okay. Hi, I think they went to a soft soft zone
09:35 And and you know, it wasn't it an overtime where my homes had one of those lovely runs
09:42 Mm-hmm. Yeah
09:45 Yeah, so I mean they lost a lot of aggression. Yeah
09:50 Yeah, so it seems like he did actually I thought they weren't prepared for that final play
09:56 Yeah, yeah
10:00 So I think there's a case to be made for letting him go because of how he performed in overtime
10:08 It's a case to be made for letting Kyle go as the offensive coordinator for how we performed in the whole game
10:15 I
10:16 Mean, yeah, I mean but Iggy the fact. Yeah what I
10:20 Was gonna say this but there's a definite case for letting one person go they should get rid of this. What's his name young?
10:29 What's his name?
10:31 chase
10:33 The defender
10:35 Chase you know, okay. Oh my god Iggy. Um, I
10:41 Don't think he plays hard all the time
10:45 They made a big they spent the money to get him and not an offensive lineman and Iggy, um, sometimes he seems to be
10:51 Loitering like like someone walked onto the field the loiterer. You know what I mean? He's that people
10:58 Yeah, like security has to go grab him and get him out of there like skirt go back to the
11:04 Iggy are you looking at him the way I am? He's just doesn't need to work very hard. Oh
11:13 And
11:14 It's crazy like the Niners felt they weren't good enough and at the trade deadline
11:17 They made one move to put themselves over the top and they traded for chase young that guy didn't move the needle whatsoever
11:24 so I mean it's kind of fitting that the Niners didn't win the Super Bowl this year because
11:28 They didn't deserve it that move was supposed to be the move like trying to trying to
11:35 Experiment with Steve Wilkes and telling them how to coach. That's not a championship decision
11:41 They got to clean that stuff up. I wouldn't be against
11:43 Maybe Steve Wilkes as you know what?
11:45 I don't want this job anymore if you're gonna second-guess me if you're gonna tell me what to do if I don't get any
11:50 Autonomy here. I don't want this job anymore. Not I can't make maybe he wouldn't do that, but I could see as
11:55 A group collectively them saying this didn't work Steve. You're a good coach, but this did not work and we got a promote someone from within
12:03 Sorry
12:04 Okay, also also Brandon Iuk what's gonna happen with him? You know, we assume he'll come back
12:10 They gave a lot of money to Debo Samuel. They have a lot of money tied up in the wide receiver position
12:14 They traded to Forrest Buckner
12:16 They don't pass the ball that much. I think they were 30 second passes here
12:22 Do you see any world where Brandon Iuk isn't on his team next year?
12:25 Let me put it like this again, I'm not talking to John Lynch, but Iggy if they don't have a yuk on the team next season
12:38 That's a big mistake. He is really he's on the verge of superstar
12:43 You know, yeah, I I really liked you on Jennings, but I don't think he could take over for Brandon
12:49 Iuk so they better and they asked him today are gonna be back and he said if it what did he say if the deal is
12:54 Right or the contract or what did he say something like that, right? He was non-committal
12:59 Yeah, he said
13:01 He said
13:02 Are you gonna be back here next year? He said if it makes sense
13:07 So if it makes sense, yeah, okay if it makes sense, whatever that means, but I would I would like to think they're gonna bring him
13:14 back
13:16 It means if they pay me enough money so he's already starting that he's talking that two days afterward
13:24 You
13:26 (upbeat music)
13:28 (upbeat music)
