00:00 Have the niners met your free agency
00:02 Expectations. I mean, I don't know what yours were a lot of uh,
00:06 prominent
00:08 reporters in the bay area
00:10 Who have nothing but integrity?
00:13 We're saying that the niners are going to make a big splash and they weren't saying this
00:19 For clout or to create, you know views or for their own. No, they they they wanted they heard there's gonna be a big splash
00:28 But there's been a big
00:30 It's been little ripples some sizable ones
00:33 But no big splash. So what about your expectations? I was like
00:37 I don't even call it ripples i'd be calling it still because pretty much all their moves have been to field the defensive line
00:43 Because they lost seven players. So standard this went exactly how I expected it
00:48 I wrote literally for our site don't expect the 49ers to be heavily active. Why number one? They're in cap hell now
00:55 Of course, they're gonna free it up probably about 15 20 million, which they did
00:58 And it's gonna be about filling up defensive line and maybe like an addition to elsewhere. This is exactly the way I
01:05 foresaw it playing out and
01:08 What are you really gonna like what is this big splash?
01:11 I I feel like those guys got told that by someone in the building and they're the 49ers are pulling
01:16 Uh an sf giants or hey, we tried
01:19 We wanted to
01:22 Like like jesus don't do that. Like were you guys using them like this?
01:25 Like what is this big splash like or maybe it's just like hey, what are you doing in free agency?
01:29 Oh, we're looking at this guy but for the right price, you know, duh, that's every freaking team
01:33 so I didn't buy into none of that bullcrap about big splash because you already have seven eight all pro like
01:38 Pro bowl players like how much more do you need at this point get some damn depth for once?
01:43 No, I do think that the niners had a guy on their radar and wanted to get him and it didn't work out
01:50 Joey bosa
01:52 That was the splash. I think that they were angling for I think
01:54 They were hoping that the chargers would cut him or trade him and it didn't happen
02:00 They got rid of mike williams instead
02:02 But I think that was if if the chargers had let him go I think the nines would have been all over joey bosa
02:06 despite our protests
02:09 Yeah, it kind of felt like your reality which i'm good because no don't good thing they didn't make the big splash
02:15 That's good thing save you from yourself. Like I don't know
02:18 If there's any pass rusher on the chargers, you wish we were getting released
02:22 You should have wished like hell it was colo mac because at least he would have been worth it. He's healthy. He's dominant
02:26 He's effective now both still a good player, but you know, he's not in his peak anymore
02:30 He's not like cal no, but he's related to the guy on the niners. It's a they're a family
02:34 Sorry
02:37 So much reuniting with these guys. We want luke mcaffrey. We want frank gore jr. We want like what the hell is this?
02:41 What is this full san francisco full house? Like what is this? Like I don't get it. Like what's the what's the enamoredness?
02:48 Do people not know about joey bost anymore? Like do you bloodline like his name's like it's not the same as four or five years ago
02:53 Yeah
02:55 I mean joe montana has kids he played they played
02:57 jerry rice quarterback
03:00 Yeah
03:00 There's a jerry rice. You know, what do you see la but it's a different rice now brendan rice
03:04 Oh, yeah, excuse me. Yeah brendan rice. Yeah
03:06 Look, I I'm not
03:10 This whole like not touching the offensive line and
03:14 Overhauling the defensive line to me is like a troll job from kyle. It's classic kyle
03:19 You lose the super bowl pretty much everyone agrees
03:23 All right. Now you're gonna overhaul that offensive line, right like now it's time right and he's like
03:28 Yeah, that's what I ain't gonna do like. Oh you you're gonna tell me what to do. I'll do the opposite
03:34 Always does that and I love that about him
03:37 How are they overhauling the defensive line when they have seven players pre-agent
03:43 Because they could have re-signed their free agents like they did in the offensive line. Why would they on offense colton mckivitts?
03:49 He's great. John feliciano. Bring him back ben barch really really
03:54 promising but on the defensive line, it's like
03:57 Sorry guys, we have really high standards around here and signing on that defensive line
04:01 jevon, ken law at eight million dollars
04:04 How the hell did he get eight million dollars? First of all, how the hell did he get eight million dollars? That's insane
04:09 yeah, i'm not saying i'm not saying that i'm just saying like
04:12 Chase young worth bringing back. No, no
04:15 Was colby kibitz worth bringing back? No
04:18 Clears
04:21 was feliciano worth bringing back like
04:23 Sure. I mean, yeah chase young would have been worth bringing back if you gave him a one-year deal for two million dollars
04:29 Like he could be there. It's probably might not make the team
04:32 thing about these guys when they hit the free agency, I think they're bigger they think they're better than they are like a kim law like
04:36 There's there's there's so many concert guys seen where it's like wow
04:40 There really is an offer for everyone. That's insane to me. Like armstead 17 million. That was a gamble
04:45 It's like he's not gonna get that like sure enough. He got that he got the same deal. I'm not more
04:48 free agency such a freaking like it that that factors into like the reciting equation
04:54 And it's not like none of these players that let go were like that great
04:58 So that's why I don't view as overhaul because number one
05:00 They were already free agents number two is like, yeah, it's fine
05:02 You replace them with other guys are the same if not probably better like nothing's a needle mover up or down for me
05:07 It's all fillers
05:09 expected
05:11 Like feliciano's the one offense alignment they added last year
05:14 Since other than him they haven't added an offense alignment to this team in years
05:18 Years
05:22 The two positions that I don't get with the niners offense align and tight end they have no plan for those two positions ever
05:28 I don't know how the hell they got george kittle
05:30 They lucked out on that one in round five year one if they didn't get george
05:34 They've got nothing at that position
05:38 nothing
05:40 They don't even try at the offensive line anymore. They're like
05:42 You know what?
05:45 Let's just be happy. We got colton mckivitts and john feliciano and keep it pushing because we don't know what we're doing
05:50 They try at offensive line, they just suck at picking the people suck
05:56 It's like a baseball player is like he is 100 batting average, but at least he's swinging right he's still swinging out there
06:03 He's not connecting
06:05 That's nothing. That's the night as an offensive line, which you know get ready because I think they're gonna really that's why I would think
06:09 the real huge
06:11 Reloading is going to be in that draft
06:13 Jeff caravello says don't understand not dumping debo and keeping iuk is debo
06:17 Type talent lower in supply than an iuk type talent cost value ratio on debo is rough
06:23 Yeah, and from what I hear, I mean, there's guys in the draft this year who were kind of debo-esque
06:28 So maybe um if the niners draft
06:31 Like a yak type receiver that could indicate that they would be interested in trading debo samuel after june 1
06:37 Something to think about
06:40 Something to think about slides. They could take a wide receiver in round one
06:43 They could do that slide 23. How much is kyle banana can't worth in a trade?
06:47 first rounder
06:49 At least a first maybe two first went for a first, didn't he?
06:53 No, he went for a second
06:56 Joe john gruden went for two ones and two twos
06:58 and cash
07:00 Shizu p says is this a better d-line without armstead?
07:03 No
07:05 No, but the thing is when you have armstead you're without armstead a lot because he misses so much time. That's the problem
07:10 Jeff caravello says theory they regretted picking armstead over buckner for years
07:15 They need the money for depth now. Kinlaw was the answer for trading buckner to keep armstead both had
07:22 Both bad memories gone now. They can finally move on thoughts
07:29 I don't think that's maybe I don't know maybe but there were buckner factors at this point
07:34 maybe after the first year or two, but after that like it's like it is what it was because as much as it was a
07:39 loss like
07:41 It didn't like change the difference in them like winning superbowls all those years. It was always quarterback no matter what
07:46 I was thinking like, you know, they probably regret giving him that extension last year that they probably
07:52 Respecting his contract last year. Yeah, then I was thinking and maybe they just regret
07:58 Keeping him instead of buckner all together. Maybe they finally came around on that one
08:02 As they should have dazzle says still holding out for a big o-line draft. Although nick allegretti would have been good
08:08 I mean adam peters liked him
08:10 It makes you wonder if the niners still had adam peters would they have been signing offensive linemen such as
08:16 Allegretti or no, they don't have the same cap space
08:19 It's all tied up
08:23 Any cap money on offensive line either he has to go to every other position first
08:26 You have to be completely fortified at every other position before you can even think about that spot. It's important
08:31 Well five players the field your actual defensive line starting and position group makes more sense in investing in one heavy guy
08:38 Because you know, you kind of need a fielder
08:41 Kinda
08:44 (upbeat music)
08:47 (upbeat music)
