00:00 Bringing it back to Brandon Staley
00:02 So, okay, they bring in Nick's or they promote Nick source and they bring in Brandon Staley is the defense all good now
00:08 Not necessarily just because you brought in because just because you got rid of Steve Wilkes
00:13 Promoted his underling and brought in Brandon Staley to like be his babysitter doesn't necessarily mean you're done with the defense
00:20 How are you gonna?
00:22 toughen up the run defense
00:25 Brandon Staley can't set an edge himself. So I really want to know like what's gonna be different
00:30 Who are you gonna add to this defense? I already mentioned
00:33 starting DN you need a good one a starting defensive tackle for like half the season when armsteads hurt a
00:39 starting linebacker or two and
00:43 A number three corner, which essentially is a starter as well. So
00:47 Really curious to see how the Niners fill those
00:50 holes
00:52 But
00:55 Let's talk about one player who's been here and needs to play better or needs to produce more. I'm not even blaming him J von Hargrave
01:01 Good player was great in Philly. The Niners paid him to be that difference maker and he wasn't is it his fault?
01:10 I don't know but Brandon Staley has to figure this out
01:13 It seems to me that Hargrave had his best seasons in a specific scheme in Philly in that five-man front
01:20 Which allowed him to get one-on-one matchups then you bring him over here put him in a wide nine
01:25 He's getting double teamed all game. It was much less effective still good, but not what you're paying for
01:30 So he's not going anywhere anytime soon
01:33 You've got to actually
01:34 Get the return on that investment and maybe that's part of what Brandon Staley talked about when he interviewed
01:39 For whatever job they gave him assistant head coach. I don't know
01:42 Maybe he said look you're using J. Vaught Hargrave all wrong. I can unlock him. I
01:47 mean what we do know about Brandon Staley is he doesn't run the Niners system and
01:53 They're not gonna implement. Well, I mean will they he ran a five-man front with the Chargers in the in the Rams
01:59 Just like Vic Fangio does does and did with the Niners
02:02 Are they gonna incorporate some of that?
02:05 Because if they did their run defense might improve J Vaught Hargrave might improve at what point is it fair to say this wide
02:11 Nine isn't really helping
02:13 What is it doing?
02:15 The wide nine. I mean, they're not good against the run and their sack percentage was like 20 something
02:21 Supposed to supercharge your four-man pass rush it didn't
02:24 hasn't
02:27 Maybe mix it up. I'm not saying scrap it but maybe mix it up
02:30 maybe that's why they brought in Brandon Staley someone who was a completely different background and
02:35 Maybe if they do mix it up J Vaught Hargrave becomes a real factor again because in the Super Bowl you saw
02:41 What a dominant defensive tackle look like it was 95 on Kansas City. I
02:45 Don't even remember Hargrave's number what is the number 98 98?
02:52 He didn't really make a lot of plays this year. It's his fault or to the Niners
02:56 Find a guy and put him in the wrong scheme
02:59 See if Staley can fix that and the run defense and
03:04 Make it seem like Nick Sorensen did it all by himself. That's your job
