00:00 tight ends
00:01 The tight is getting better or worse
00:03 Yikes, can I just jump in? I mean, it's no offense George or 30 and the team really hasn't done a good job of
00:11 Adding to this position. I think Ross Dwelly is probably done Charlie Warner probably should be done George Kittle not getting better
00:18 But aging pretty gracefully, although that
00:21 Super Bowl wasn't great
00:23 Then there's Cam lot - who was just looked like a guy who should have not been drafted frankly
00:30 So this is one of the weaker positions on the team
00:33 Do they address it again? Or are they relying on Cam lot - to make a big jump Braden Willis to make a big jump?
00:39 What's the future here?
00:42 Well the future I mean, I don't know like
00:45 George had a great year. All right, George had what had 65 catches for 90 targets
00:51 He had a thousand yards receiving this year for 60 DS
00:54 41 first at first downs at a success rate of 60%
00:59 And he had a longer 66 George. He didn't have a bad year
01:04 All right, you look at last year the last time George had a thousand yards was the 2019 year
01:09 Okay, so as far as production is concerned
01:12 I feel like
01:16 George is exactly where he needs to be
01:18 Even at his best the year before in 2018. He had 1300 yards
01:24 I mean so George is as good as it gets as far as where he's what he's done this season
01:29 Uh, my biggest thing for George
01:31 Is to just keep being yourself as as far as your play is concerned
01:35 now
01:38 We got to ask like
01:40 What what's your dedication? What's your dedication to one to win the championship pass this year? Um from a franchise standpoint?
01:48 George for for for all of the the dumping that I have done on George
01:56 It's a pretty weak room and they be getting away with it because George has been so good
02:00 They Ross Dwelly, which is your guy? He's been there for years. It not only lose him
02:06 But okay, I'll tell his grandkids. I would have been an all-pro but the Niners refused to throw me the ball
02:12 I could have been an all-pro grant that
02:15 Story that is
02:17 Alright, you could die on that hill great. But from what it's worth Ross has not been doing anything. No, um, and
02:26 To be honest with you. We've kind of in my opinion
02:30 We kind of cannibalized George pittles prime in order to cover up for a week tight in room
02:37 if we would have got somebody just
02:39 Reckless, we would have got somebody just as half as good as George or close to it like another guy. That's like a fringe starter
02:45 Um, we could have saved more of George. I mean look at it George has been in the league since 2017, right?
02:52 This is his seventh year in the league and he's declining fast. He got in the league at 24
02:58 He just turned 30 and you can tell that he's losing a step
03:01 You can tell that his routes on his crisp when he gets to the top of his stem of his routes
03:06 I mean how many times we're gonna see that same release package?
03:09 He's using the same stuff to get open over and over again. And quite frankly, there's some linebackers out there that just
03:14 He ain't running away from
03:18 now I will say that George is always gonna last here due to the fact that
03:22 He's I think that Charlie Warner can block as well as George
03:28 But he's nowhere near what George brings in the past game. Um
03:32 This is one of the positions where on one hand
03:37 I feel like if you're thinking about what can you get for George and what can you move forward with from George?
03:42 I feel like a lot of fans have been saying like all George's a sneaky trade. He's a sneaky trade, but
03:48 I will push against that
03:50 there's really nothing behind him and
03:53 If you get rid of George or trade George just for a pick that you don't know what's gonna be anyway
03:59 Then you're pretty much leaving an entire room wide open like I
04:04 would I would say this and I know this is gonna be kind of wild but
04:08 Christian McCaffrey is a great a great player
04:12 But even if Christian McCaffrey left the running back room, we wouldn't be like necessarily that freaked out
04:17 We'd be upset like man, that's a weapon
04:19 But we still have Debo Elijah Mitchell was started before we can get another guy in there
04:23 We know how to put a running back room together if George Kittle goes
04:26 Like we literally have no answer for a starting tight end. No, so
04:32 I think we need to hold on to him more than and he is one of those players where I do feel like George
04:40 just like shrink is one of those players where they're too big to fail and we've kind of
04:46 Leveraged ourselves with the lack of production
04:49 Behind them where even if they leave just the drop-off will be too steep
04:56 He'd be it will be an immediate hole
04:58 So it makes sense why the Niners drafted a tight end in round three last year. It was a good tight end draft
05:05 They wanted to get in on it. It's just I don't know
05:07 I'm not writing him off already, but it wasn't good so far and there were a lot of tight ends that went before him
05:12 It's too bad. They couldn't have gotten
05:15 Any of those guys but because now it seems like that's another position
05:19 They could conceivably draft in the first few rounds again this year. They need one. They need one there
05:25 They don't even have a number two tight end
05:27 They don't they really don't for how they run the ball what they want to be on offense
05:30 I need another one Stephen Draper says need another 6-3 receiver for Brock
05:34 Not really just a guy who gets open beats man-to-man coverage
05:38 But rice, yeah, Errol Tolbert
05:41 I think one thing you guys are not factoring into the wide receivers that Kyle calls the plays combined
05:45 With the lack of arm strength of party wide receivers will never blossom under Kyle
05:49 That's kind of what I was leaning into when I was saying that you know, you can look at got like
05:55 Two things cannot two things are different
05:58 There's one thing in saying the receivers got strapped because they couldn't get open
06:04 that's
06:05 More of what I saw from Debo, right? But I don't think that I don't think that
06:12 BA was just strapped the whole game
06:15 I think that BA was getting open
06:17 but you got to have a quarterback that's gonna actually kind of like look at you for a little bit and maybe take a
06:22 Take a tick and look at the actual progression
06:25 there were a lot of plays where I mean there were instances where BA was making corners fall and he was open and
06:32 You know, he was getting looked off of so quick because Brock
06:36 Brock processes with anticipation. Well, would you have to anticipate that means you have to be ahead if you have to always be ahead
06:43 it doesn't leave a lot of room for you to kind of bake on a read or
06:46 Let something kind of massage itself a little bit more. So I feel like in certain instances
06:53 Brock does come off of reads very fast and
06:57 There are it's it's not a coincidence that some of those reads that he comes off of our reads that are down the field and outside
07:04 the numbers
07:06 City bird says they won't have to pay
07:08 Shanahan head coach salary fees the DC or I don't know is that supposed to be Salah
07:15 They won't have to pay Salah head coach salary if he's a DC
07:18 Won't they have to pay salary Hank?
07:21 Won't they have to pay Salah head coach salary if he becomes DC
07:25 But that's not about them. That's not about our cap how we pay coaches is their business
07:29 Errol Tolbert coach is it really on Debo or is it on Kyle to change how he uses him force feeding him the ball when
07:35 We all know he's not that guy is on Kyle
07:37 Yeah, sure, but like hold on twenty eight million dollars for a wide receiver who can't beat man-to-man coverage. That's on Debo
07:44 Yeah, you got to have that skill set. That's your job
07:47 Yeah, I agree with that
07:50 Bang bang says all this is he's taught Kyle already benched him once after his best stint
07:54 He'll do it again when Dre is back Jimmy Ward mentioned multiple times Kyle will disrespect anyone outside the Cabo click
08:02 That's real. So with that in mind, I'm gonna go on the limb
08:06 Forget Aziz. I'll show you're coming. Yeah
08:09 Yeah, you just kind of and what's so crazy is that like I literally forgot all about that
08:16 He's not coming back here. No, that's part of the reason why he left
08:20 Yeah, he'll come back with Jimmy when Jimmy Ward comes back, which is
08:23 Never. Yeah, he's never ever Mike Nolan. Although the Cabo click for the record bang bang
08:28 May have broken up. We'll have to investigate that Mike. Yeah, that's pending
08:34 I'm telling you any chance Brandon Lloyd gets a Hall of Fame bid Brandon Lloyd for the Hall of Fame
08:40 receiver no
08:42 No, he had a couple good years
08:45 Oh
08:47 (upbeat music)
08:50 (upbeat music)
