00:00You got to inject this into my veins
00:03This is incredible right now ain't nothing but a gangster party brother
00:07We were here last year when the New York Giants were here
00:11And I don't know if just the other New York team is is more ticked off than this New York team
00:17But there is something about what we are looking at which is this Hilton tailgate party
00:23Which is growing and growing and growing and the vibes are
00:28Impeccable
00:29It's looking a little bit like Christmas with the red and the green. Oh my goodness
00:34We read a little bit of green. It's beginning to feel a lot like
00:39Christmas it sure is it sure is and I mean that the dancing and and the drinking and
00:46The wallflowers me and you we got the wallflowers, but I mean oh my goodness
00:51This is a good-looking crowd right now great crowd and people are flowing in and you know what there's nothing
00:57Quite like week one, but the only thing better than a week one is a week one
01:02Natna a Monday night football week one and Wow folks are getting ready. They're getting lit
01:11The good lady. Yeah, so to speak. You know you know you know
01:14Thank you
01:27Wait for it
01:35How many
01:38Whatever
01:40Again again if you want to just scream and yell about the Niners you go to the front of the line
01:46We can sit here and be like shout neck boss. Oh, we think he needs 13 and a half sacks of shit, whatever okay?
01:52Let's hear from you come on. No in San Francisco
01:57LFG what do you got?
01:59Come on Noah
02:03We're so good so good
02:06All that I'm so pumped today, what do you guys just ask like would you rather guarantee one in eight years or?
02:15Maybe in like three years with this group
02:19I'm gonna take the maybe it just goes. I love these players so much and
02:25There's this quote from a Roger Kahn book the boys of summer
02:29and it's like you rejoice with a team in victory, but you fall in love with a team in defeat and
02:36It's been twice now. We've watched these guys like Debo and Kittle and Fred Warner and Nick Bosa in particular
02:44Almost win the Super Bowl
02:45And I just really want it so bad for them like and I'm really rooting for that group of players
02:51And you know like there's questions. I think whether this team has gotten better or not in the offseason
02:57I think what they do have is a higher drive than ever to do this, and I'm just so pumped for them
03:02No, I'm with you man, and thank you very much for the call like there's three names in particular
03:08And this isn't to rank them or whatever because Trent and Christian even though acquired through trade
03:13I think are meaningful to 49er fans as well, but there's three guys
03:18and this is the way I think about a Niner star because you could have like a Jeff Garcia or a Frank Gore and I
03:24Could go on and on of players who are like you really left your mark. You left your mark, but
03:30But right like you didn't win a Super Bowl
03:32And that's kind of reserved for a different level of a Niner legacy
03:38and it feels to me like George Kittle Debo Samuel and
03:44Fred Warner are three people who have left a mark that should be
03:49could be
03:51Super Bowl ring level, and I I just that's that's how I feel I would be very very
03:58Disappointed if somehow some way those guys are no longer 49ers, and they don't have a ring
04:04Yeah
04:05And I get that and you know it certainly it would put them among the the Pantheon as I was telling Steini earlier about the
04:12Pantheon of all-time greats, and you think about Patrick Willis and Joe Staley
04:18Frank Gore and Navarro Bowman and even you know Justin Smith who wasn't of course an original 49er
04:25But he did so much for the team
04:27And you can think about all of the other 49ers who were here for a long time who didn't get that ring
04:32And do you think less about them?
04:34No
04:35But you do feel like Joe Staley in particular it would have been nice for him to get a ring and he had the chance
04:40In New Orleans against in Baltimore in the Harbaugh Bowl, and he didn't get it done
04:45They didn't get it done, and so you feel bad about it
04:47But this group is a little bit like that especially you mentioned Debo and Kittle
04:52You know guys who've been here for a long time and Fred Warner as well who hopefully will be here for years to come
04:58But if you get you know through this window
05:01And you get through these chances, and they don't get one and ultimately they retire then yeah, you'll feel bad about yeah
05:06I mean, it's interesting the names you brought up the only difference being like yeah, they had a shot. They went to a Super Bowl
05:13Beyonce turned the lights out and it almost happened, but it didn't but these guys here's there's two things that I feel are different with
05:20Them a they've been there twice
05:22they've been to that mountaintop twice and got knocked off at both times in disappointing fashion with second half leads and
05:28Secondly I just think this I just think that this 49er team is better than those 49er teams
05:33Like I never felt when they went against Baltimore
05:37You may have been like they got a shot to win a Super Bowl this group
05:41I look at I'm like you should win a Super Bowl like yeah
05:43This to me is the best team in football and just hasn't shown it in its biggest moments yet
05:49I see that part of it
05:50and you know the the Kaepernick team that went to the Super Bowl was a little bit of a
05:56Not a one-off, but what he was doing to the league at that time was something
06:00We had never seen and he was such a difference maker
06:03And they rode that momentum and Harbaugh had everybody all ginned up
06:07And you know quietly Harbaugh back at it again want to know who's got it better than him nobody
06:12Yeah, it was weird to see that chant inside the Chargers locker room
06:17At the same time I am not surprised they went out there and won
06:20Oh, and it I mean that's what Harbaugh does, but you think about that team at that time and it felt less
06:27Sustainable than this does I mean you had a quarterback on a rookie deal. You've got maybe the best roster in football and
06:33You're humming you've been there for the last five years. You've been there at the penultimate weekend at least and so yeah
06:39You absolutely should be there
06:42Let's keep going how about rich and Fremont one of our favorites hey rich. Thank you for calling Willie and Debbie. What's good?
06:49Hey, man, the whole day is good. Let's keep it real man
06:53I'm still feeling electric from that red and gold summit. I went to got to hang out with you brothers
06:58It was nice, but hey, let's keep it real. I got my prediction right now
07:0210-9
07:0423 to 10 I like it
07:06Yeah, no and you're feeling kind of that defensive energy that you saw around the league yesterday, aren't you rich I?
07:14Am I am and I say something else I expect I
07:20Expect our defense to deliver
07:25He's there now guess what you're the enemy and that's just the way it is so let's keep it going brothers happy today
07:31Thank you. Okay. Enjoy it rich. Thank you very much
07:34Yeah, and I you like a defensive struggle tonight, too
07:37Don't yeah, no doubt and you know partly on what we've seen throughout week one so far
07:42But I also look at these two offenses and Brennan Iuka is not gonna play the full game
07:47He probably is gonna end up playing about half the game
07:49I don't know what the snap count will be but it's gonna be somewhat limited McCaffrey was limited in camp
07:56He didn't play it all in the preseason and Trent Williams didn't play so I look at an offense
08:01That's probably gonna start a little bit slowly and the Jets same thing you have a quarterback who wasn't played in
08:07364 days and when he did play he played four snaps, and I look at a Niner defense
08:12That's better than last year. It's a defense that I think is going to control things in this game
08:18I'd like a very low scoring game. Yeah, what you're saying makes a lot of sense on paper
08:23I'll say this though
08:24I think that like defense ahead of the offense thing that we're all feeling having watched the first week of football is
08:31Not gonna be sustainable. This is my other reaction to the new kickoff rule
08:36I think scoring is gonna go up and I do think on the down low
08:39That's what the NFL was looking for because they've essentially
08:44Me they've made it so that that kick through the end zone just comes even further out
08:48Yeah, and so you're watching field position around the league just got better with these new rules
08:54And that's gonna lead to games like we saw with the Eagles and the Packers down in Brazil
09:00Where I thought both both offenses were mistake prone. Yeah, both of them looked wobbly yet
09:06What do we get 63 points in the game eventually eventually eventually although it was a high scoring first half to it
09:13You had two Eagle turnovers that led to six points
09:16And that's where I mean that game could have been 55 to 49, right?
09:21Well, you had wide receivers popping off all over the place. Yeah, Jaden Reed goes crazy. Yeah, he did
09:27Brown goes crazy Devontae Smith was solid and then obviously there was Saquon not a wide receiver
09:32But you know, he goes crazy as well. You had a lot of skilled position players
09:37Doing their thing and and I thought field position had a big part of it and you're not wrong turnovers
09:43Led to even better field position
09:45But I think eventually you're gonna get to that once once offenses get in sync
09:50Most of them just aren't there yet, and I don't think that that will be the case tonight
09:54I mean you're looking at one offense the Niners that didn't really fully play together. No Trent Williams
09:59No, I you can McCaffrey didn't play either and the other side you have a quarterback who hasn't played football
10:05Yeah, he played four snaps
10:07364 days ago and beyond that and you mentioned it in the crossover and you were right to do so
10:13He had a bad year the year before a green day. It was a down year. He was not great. They were not good
10:19They didn't make the playoffs. So it's been damn near three years since he's actually played good football
10:24This is how if you're a Bay Area sports fan, that's all you need to know the last time Aaron Rodgers was good
10:30So were the San Francisco Giants? Yeah Oh God
10:33That long same year 2021 2021 geez and the last time he was good
10:39Didn't the Niners go there and beat them in the snow sure did that? Yeah, that was his
10:44That was his last good game. Oh
10:46That's right. Who fung a game? Yeah. Yeah, and that was
10:492022 but it was the 2021 season still one of my favorite like Joe Buck did well
10:54But one of my Joe Buck on it's one of my favorite dumb fan moments
10:59Just because I remember that football game and
11:03Sitting around the living room with the kids and we're watching this game and Jimmy Garoppolo
11:08Just can't get anything going and my kids who just walked in will back me up on this
11:12Okay, as they lined up for that punt I go man. We need a pump block or something
11:17Something to get something going and then boom who funga and the Niners
11:23Niners are tied. Yes, and they go on to win the game. That was one. Oh my gosh. I'll never forget that game
11:28That's great. Um, how about Sean and Fremont Sean? What are you doing Sean?
11:34So, yeah guys, I'm excited I
11:37Kind of like this. I think it's gonna be low scoring
11:40But I got I got a contact in Reno telling me minus four if you want to give me juice on the game
11:44I think the Niners are gonna cover Niners by a teddy at least that that's what I'm thinking
11:49I like not as I can I like Niners by 10 tonight. I don't mean that I would bet that oh boy
11:55I just that my final score is Niners by 10. I hate to give away my pick too early
12:01We all want to fade the Dibbers cuz Oh Dibbers. Yeah, we have to lose her bill
12:05You go ahead and fade me all you want later today. I'm coming for you
12:09I'll have my pick and that'll be coming up here in about an hour
12:12Yeah
12:12by the way a
12:13Set aside is when we play fade the Dibbers and the Niners are in the game
12:18Because one of two things is gonna happen
12:20You're either gonna pick against them and we're just gonna be mad at you for picking against them
12:24Or you're gonna pick for them and you're gonna be mad
12:27I think we're gonna want to fade you because nobody wants to pick the Jets plus four and a half tonight
12:32the whole idea is that I
12:34Lose all the time. So whatever I think you go against it. So if you really want to make money all the time
12:45This whole bit was built on my failure and you know what all y'all are losers
12:52Yeah, dibs most of the time not all the time
13:00If you go one-on-one constantly you lose
13:05Yeah, but you're also paying
13:08All right eight eight nine five seven nine five five seventy how about is that
13:14Fred X in Oakland. Is that what I'm seeing? Hey Fred, what you doing?
13:21Got our work appreciate you guys
13:24Thank you for calling yeah, what's up Fred? Oh
13:28No, I just wanted to talk about the success of the Niners. I don't remember them being successful since I was in elementary
13:36Well, I mean they've been you know, I don't know how you measure success but last five years
13:42They played a lot of playoff games, you know
13:45Yeah, yeah, that's not the goal though. I thought the goal was to win the Super Bowl
13:50No doubt Fred X, that's always the goal
13:54Yeah, you don't accomplish your goal to meet your loser, right
13:57No, I disagree with that as firmly as I possibly could I mean Fred
14:01Have you ever had a goal and not achieved it?
14:04Did you like sit in front of the mirror the next day and be like, I'm a loser
14:07I suck like come on man. Life is more contextual to that
14:12Yeah, yes, I have and being a loser. It will give you the drive to be harder and be a winner
14:19Well, I don't worry about Fred. Thanks. I don't worry about the Niners drive at all
14:22I also that's just to me that's and I know that that's a thought out there for a lot of people
14:28I think that that's just black and white thinking at to firm of a level for me in professional sports
14:36I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hold people to
14:40Either you win the whole thing or you suck and you're a loser. That's absurd
14:44That's just the way I look at it and I agree with that mentality because 31 teams will not win the Super Bowl this year
14:50and so of the other
14:5231 teams that don't win the Super Bowl. Are they all
14:56No, no, I mean like Carolina right now you could look at Carolina and say wow
15:00I mean in minutes, I mean not Minnesota, but the New York Giants they look like a struggle
15:05There's some teams already that you could look at and say
15:07All right, you're probably gonna be losers the most of the time in this year
15:12But for me if you make it to the Super Bowl and you don't win and I said it last year
15:15That's where the bar is and that's where the bar is this year again
15:18Get to the last weekend of the year be one of the last four teams playing and then you can decide
15:24From there how you want to judge this team? Absolutely. Look it doesn't change the goal. It doesn't change the bar. It doesn't change the expectation
15:33That's literally the basis of the conversation right now
15:36That if the likes of George Kittle Fred Warner Debo Samuel if these guys don't win a ring in their 9 or 10 year
15:43I would be devastated. I would be devastated for them. I would be devastated for us. That is absolutely the hope
15:50I'll never you're never gonna hear me call those people losers. That's I mean that just not gonna come out of my mouth
15:56No, and that's not I mean for me, that's not the way I look at it
15:59And you know ultimately you can only be in
16:03So many big games and you know
16:05So few teams get to be in that spot where you're one of the last teams remaining and they've been that team for the last
16:11five years
16:12Let's keep it going. How about Ozark Bob who's calling from Missouri?
16:17Ozark Bob, what's up?
16:19Hey, what's up guys? I've been waiting for this day all dang season. I'm ready for the Niners. I put in work tonight
16:27I
16:31Think we're gonna do really good. I mean, you know Aaron Rodgers. He hasn't played in over two and a half years
16:37I mean God the last time he played he was a show of himself
16:40So I have all the momentum in the world on our Niners be to put in work today
16:45I'll just say this and Ozark Bob. Thank you very much. I agree
16:49I do have questions or maybe if you will kind of anxiety a little bit in terms of what the 49er
16:57Offense is going to look like tonight
17:00However, if I had one prediction that I really feel good about it's that Aaron Rodgers gonna struggle
17:07I think that this is it like he's a pro. He's such a vet. He's seen it all
17:12you're not going to overwhelm him with the moment or
17:15anything like that, but
17:18The energy that's going to be in that building what his body has left
17:22Combined with the personnel on the field on the Niners defensive side
17:26Which has something to prove that group is going to play like they've got something to prove. I just think that's going to be
17:34I think it's gonna be tough sledding. I think the Jets are gonna have a really hard time getting to 20 points tonight
17:39I think it's for me
17:40Anyway, it's the rust is the biggest factor because Aaron Rodgers didn't play in the preseason and he only played four snaps last year
17:46And so he hasn't really played
17:49With this team at all. He played with him for four snaps last year. So even the
17:54Cohesiveness of being a part of a team if you were coming off of you know
17:59A season where you'd already played with them fine
18:01But you're not coming off a season where you already played with this team
18:04You haven't played with them at all
18:06And so the rust combined with the newness of being a part of a new team
18:11That's all gonna lead them to I believe be a little sluggish. We got another Fred. We just had Fred X
18:17How about Fred regular?
18:19Fred in Richmond, what's going on, man? Thank you for calling
18:25Thanks for having me on man, I was just calling cuz that Fred X he wasn't no Niner fan
18:31I don't know what the heck he was talking about
18:33Because the Niners are our fire right now
18:36And I just want everybody to know that Nick Bosa is gonna be deep as a player the year
18:42This year and he gonna start off with three sacks tonight on washed up Aaron Rodgers
18:47Thanks for having me on y'all Fred appreciate the real Fred. Please stand up. Please stand up. Please stand up
18:54I like I like what he said I mean obviously if Nick Bosa has a huge night
18:58I I think that that's gonna bode very very well for the way this thing all plays out
19:03But yeah, just to go back to what he's referring to if you're just joining us
19:06And you missed the previous call from about 10 minutes ago
19:10That that black and white thinking and you and I have talked about it a lot
19:14Like either you win the Super Bowl, or you're a loser
19:17Look at this crowd look at this space look at these people look at the number of jerseys look at the dance and look at
19:24the excitement that this
19:26Has created are you gonna call these people losers? How you gonna do that?
19:31How are everybody here showing up to watch losers come on man?
19:35You know and I don't even like by the way
19:37I'm as excited as all get out for this game tonight
19:41But week one is week one, right?
19:44I tell you what's actually riding on tonight the Super Bowl and the playoffs and the division do not ride on tonight
19:50what rides on tonight is sort of the the sound of the
19:56Start of the season because I do think that if the Niners don't look right tonight
20:01You're immediately gonna get people point to all of the things that happened in August course that were
20:07Frustrating and they're gonna say this is the manifestation of that and that would be a manifestation sensation you're welcome
20:13I'll let you right to it. Yeah
20:15I do think that in many ways
20:17it's right to draw those conclusions if Brandon Iuke can't play a full game and he won't and if
20:23Trent Williams looks a little sluggish and he might whatever look happens tonight if you lose
20:29You're gonna point fingers at a lot of different things and now if they come out and they win
20:32Then you go boy the IU thing genius they played it great and Trent
20:36Yeah, and McCaffrey go ahead and skip camp all the rest of it. It's a results based game. I do think that
20:44Regardless of how they do tonight
20:45The Niners are set up in a good spot for the first part of the season to kind of ease their way into it
20:51You obviously want to win every game that you can but the schedule does get tougher down the road
20:56I'm gonna point to your results based comment though and agree with you and to me that means this
21:02If the Niners win the game tonight go home happy don't do what we were doing at the beginning of last year
21:08Remember, it wasn't just did they win right? How did they win?
21:11Are we gonna line up the phone lines tomorrow and be like, but kiddo only had three catches
21:15I know they won by ten exactly like that's the thing that I remember from last year that I think at minimum
21:22Early in the year get rid of that thought watch around the league. Look what happened yesterday. Look at the surprises
21:28Yeah, the New England Patriots are one to know, you know, you look at Jordan
21:33Love is hurt Puka Nakua is on IR that is now confirmed by the way
21:37He will miss at least weeks two three four and five for the Los Angeles Rams Jake Ferguson
21:43We haven't heard yet, but that's he's gonna be out
21:45I almost guarantee it for the Cowboys things change in an instant. And so I just look at tonight and
21:52Give me more points than the other team and I'm gonna go home and sleep real good
21:56Yeah, that's how we should always look at it because the NFL is so tough and it's so difficult to win and it's difficult to
22:02Make a playoff berth and make a playoff run and get to the Super Bowl and all the rest of it
22:06It's not a birthright just because your roster is good and your coach is good
22:11It doesn't mean that you automatically get to be a Super Bowl team
22:14I want you to look at that video right there. You see what that is right there. Yeah, see that
22:19You know who that is. That's Ricky Pearsall damn, right?
22:22It is you're damn right. It is it's a rollerback if you want something else to fire you up
22:27Obviously Ricky Pearsall will not be playing football tonight
22:30But Ricky Pearsall is in the building walking one foot in front of the other with no bandages
22:36No anything smile on his face and a little hey
22:40How you doing to security as he walks into the building tonight nice and that should make everybody feel good Ricky Pearsall
22:48Just a week ago his life in his hands and now he's gonna be there with his teammates tonight watching ball pretty awesome
22:54Awesome to see Ricky in and you know, you would expect him to watch it from a suite
22:58But just to even have him in the building is pretty awesome
