00:00 Alright, let's talk defensive lineman. What a disappointing group this season
00:04 Nick Bosa to Javon Hargrave all the way down the line
00:08 This was supposed to be the best group on the team and to their credit
00:12 They've shown up in the Super Bowl. It really showed up in the Super Bowl, but it took 20 games for them to give their best
00:19 Still there's a lot of talent on this group new new defensive coordinator coming in. Is this group getting better or worse?
00:29 What do you think
00:31 It underperformed so much I don't see how it could get worse that being said Eric arms says not getting better
00:39 Javon Hargrave is not getting better is Bosa getting better or is he already hitting the Joey Bosa slide?
00:45 You could argue it's getting worse
00:48 Okay
00:50 How do you feel?
00:51 How do you feel thus far about I want to change up the pace of the of the pace of the show because I feel
00:56 Like I've been doing a crap ton of talking and like you've been sitting back and I've been doing way too much talking
01:02 So let's kind of get the banter going. So it's where do you feel? Where do you feel like the defensive line?
01:09 Overperformed
01:12 Adequately performed and underperformed throughout the season. Let's so let's start with pass rush. I mean the pass rush was
01:18 Underperformed the run defense underperformed they couldn't set edges
01:24 They were huge disappointment chase young don't come back
01:27 Cleland Farrell like when you're saying man, if we only had Cleland Farrell, we might win this game
01:32 That's a tough spot to be in because Cleland Farrell isn't that great? They lost Samson ever calm and that was a blow
01:39 he went to I believe Indianapolis and was
01:43 Improved he continued improving and the Niners have a good wide nine. You have to have
01:48 The ends who can set edges and I don't know
01:51 They don't seem like they do Nick Bosa used to be one. Let's we need to talk about Nick Bosa. This is
01:56 primarily about him
01:58 He's the highest paid non quarterback in the league and he had a pretty pedestrian year
02:02 Like here the same year as George Karloff does who's on a rookie deal? So I
02:06 Don't know like is he can we not expect him to put together 18 sacks in a season anymore
02:13 Is that behind him because he's 26. I
02:15 Don't know like that's the thing. I feel like well, okay, so
02:21 I feel like that narrative about Nick Bosa is a little premature because he had a contract year
02:26 So he went throughout the whole
02:29 Offseason basically sitting at home waiting to get there during camp. You see what I'm saying?
02:34 So I'm willing to give Nick a mulligan
02:37 The only reason why it's hard to give him a break is because he sends out these
02:42 He said he sends out these shots through the media about how everybody else didn't get their stuff together
02:47 And it's like well break, bro. You didn't have a camp you weren't here
02:50 Um, so there's that also
02:52 Eric Armstead
02:55 He's due to make a lot of money coming up this year. I don't feel as though that he lived up to expectations this year either
03:02 um
03:03 one thing that I will say the reason why the biggest reason for me why the defense of line didn't hold up to
03:08 expectations this year is because
03:11 That's the unit where we had to go get reinforcements in the middle of the year just to make it through the year
03:16 You had to go get three additions in chase young in chase young's sit
03:21 Sebastian Joseph day and Randy Gregory that right there shows that the depth that they had was not getting it done
03:28 At times Kevin Gibbons was struggling Drake Jackson before he got hurt was a complete
03:34 liability after the three sacks that he had gotten earlier in the year and
03:38 It looks like and and even though we're kind of in the chase young Randy Gregory sweepstakes
03:45 We still really don't have an adequate pass rusher on the other side
03:48 Versus Nick Bosa, I would say they underperformed
03:51 Big time Chris Kiserik, you're supposed to be the defensive line
03:57 Whisperer and you haven't really
04:00 Done that I mean is Chris Kiserik overrated just a second like
04:07 Nick Bosa great player was gonna be great one way or another
04:10 Face young nothing happened there
04:14 Um, Drake Jackson
04:16 Javon Kinlaw
04:19 Wow
04:21 Okay, now that you're talking about it. I mean Arden key
04:24 Charles and many Hugh so there's some but there's a lot of like I
04:29 Don't know a lot of money well
04:36 yeah, and
04:39 that's something that I want to pay attention to as well as far as as soon as we get the new DC because I
04:44 Get the feeling that he's the coach that
04:48 Kyle doesn't want to change on the defense outside of everybody else
04:51 I know Johnny Holland is cool
04:53 but I feel like Chris could coach Kiserik is the coach that basically is
04:57 Supposed to be you know, the guy of all guys and you know, but at the same time you can't elevate him
05:03 so it's like I
05:05 Don't know like I am kind of looking at coach Kiserik in a way where it's like
05:08 All right, bro
05:09 If you don't want to elevate to the DC and D line is all you want to do
05:15 Then you can't get mad that you can't take umbrage with people linking your production
05:20 Solely on the D line and if the deal is not getting better than neither is coach Kiserik. He's got to own it
05:26 Yeah
