00:00But on the River Islands guest line, quickly jumping in here for some emergency pandia
00:05is our friend Doc Narav Pandia.
00:08Hey Doc, how you doing?
00:11I'm doing good.
00:12How are you guys doing?
00:13We're doing great.
00:14But yeah, we'd love some answers and I guess just a general reaction to not just the news
00:20that Christian is missing this weekend, but Kyle Shanahan's comment that yesterday was
00:25his worst day of pain.
00:27What does that indicate to you?
00:29Yeah, that's not a very good sign.
00:30I mean, I think what we get concerned about is that clearly he's been dealing with this
00:34for a while.
00:35He took all this time off during training camp.
00:37And as you're ramping him up, he gets the worst day of pain.
00:40That's super concerning in terms of number one, does he need an extended period of time
00:44off, which it sounds like IR is the answer for that.
00:46It also then means, is this something that's going to be seven, eight, nine, 10 weeks?
00:50I mean, he rested, he did all the things that you would do to treat Achilles tendonitis
00:55and he's having bad days.
00:56So that's super concerning as we head into the season.
00:58And I do worry, is this something that's going to be more than just IR time?
01:01Are we talking six, seven, eight weeks before he gets better?
01:04Is there anything you can do with Achilles tendonitis other than just rest it?
01:09There are some injections.
01:11You can do injections called platelet injections, called PRP, where you can inject in that,
01:15you know, some basketball players get it for MCL injuries, et cetera, that can potentially
01:19help the chronic changes or inflammation in the tendon go down.
01:23But the tough thing is that even with those injections, you just need to take time off.
01:26And that's the tough thing is that you take time off and then suddenly you've been off
01:29for a period of time and then you have to ramp back up.
01:32And you know, the football season just started, but you go six weeks of rest and you get this
01:35injection and you're trying to ramp up.
01:37Does that mean that he's got enough time to be explosive and get into shape and be productive
01:41this season?
01:42Doc, I guess I would just ask when you say extended rest, what does extended mean?
01:47Like is there any reason to think that a month would do it or is there like no way to know
01:51how long?
01:53Yeah, it's without knowing the severity of it, but the fact that, you know, yesterday
01:56was the worst day, like when we're dealing with nonprofessional athletes and they have
02:00like a flare up of Achilles tendonitis, you say three months now, obviously he's a professional
02:04football player.
02:05So you're not going to take three months off.
02:07In general, you're going to say, maybe we'll push the limit and do four to five weeks and
02:10then see, as Dan was mentioning, see how he does.
02:12But the worry always is you feel pretty good until you get out in that field.
02:16Next thing you know, five weeks from now, he's out there and he's having pain again
02:20and the risk of number one, rupturing it.
02:22Number two, causing chronic changes in the tendon or number three, him hurting something
02:25else because Achilles is weak.
02:27It just raises all these possibilities that you are super concerned about.
02:30Does the tendonitis portend for future injury or is that just simply happenstance based
02:35on the wear and tear of an athlete?
02:38I think for an athlete, if this is just like, hey, he was doing great all off season, it
02:43started at the beginning of camp and it just kind of flared up a little bit.
02:46You don't get super worried about it, but you hear that this is lingering at the end
02:49of last season.
02:50He had all off season to get this better and then it's still bothering him in camp.
02:54Then you do worry about, number one, you know, that risk of the rupture, but also are there
02:58chronic changes starting to come in that tendon for someone who is his age and has played
03:01all this football.
03:02So you do worry about is this going to be more of a long term issue because it's been
03:06going on for a while and at the position that he plays.
03:09Doc, thanks for hopping in real quick on on an important day.
03:13We appreciate it.
03:14No problem.
03:15Anytime, guys.
03:16Here he is.
03:17Emergency Pandya.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Here we have him in case of emergency break glass.
03:21Well, the only thing I heard, I mean, I heard all of it, but what stuck with me twice in
03:26his first answer?
03:28Super concerning.
03:29Yeah.
03:30End quote.
03:31Yes.
03:32Super concerning because they did everything that they were supposed to do.
03:35And if he was feeling this back in February and through the off season, then it's yeah,
03:40let it quiet down, rest.
03:42And I don't even know if he had injections, the PRP, whatever he did, rest, rest, rest,
03:47no OTAs, no camp, rest, no preseason rest, week one, sit.
03:52All right.
03:53I think we've done enough of the rest and stuff.
03:54Let's see what we've got.
03:55Day one.
03:56Day two.
03:57Oh, full stop.
03:59That's what's really concerning is when you you think about six months of rest and he
04:03got married and he was busy and I'm sure he was active because he's a monster when it
04:07comes to working out.
04:09But you get all the way up to where it's time to go and you get two practices in and you
04:13got to shut him down.
04:14That is very concerning.
04:15888-957-9570.
04:16How about let's go to Ferris in Antioch.
04:21Hi, Ferris.
04:22Thanks for calling.
04:23What's up, man?
04:24Thank you guys for letting me on.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Thanks for calling.
04:29I just want to respond to a caller.
04:30I think he was a Raider fan, you know, a little depressed Raider fan.
04:35He was calling about, you know, he was criticizing Kyle by saying he don't like Kyle and Kyle
04:40Well, I've never seen an O.C. get more blame for a Super Bowl loss than Kyle Shanahan in
04:48that 2017 Super Bowl versus the Patriots.
04:50I don't think he will blame Dan Quinn for that Super Bowl when he's the head coach.
04:54Then the head coach begin to blame for that Super Bowl.
04:58And also.
04:59All right.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Ferris, look, you're not going to get any disagreement whatsoever in this room.
05:05If I could make a rule, be like when we were playing quarters in college, I think when
05:10you hit three in a row, you got to make a rule.
05:12Remember that?
05:13Oh, my God.
05:14You're taking me back.
05:15You don't remember that?
05:16No, I do remember.
05:17You got to make a rule if you hit three in a row.
05:18OK.
05:19No elbows on the table.
05:20No elbows on the table.
05:21Or whatever.
05:22Totally.
05:23Oh, my God.
05:24If you make another one, you get to run around the room or everybody else has to like, you
05:27know, whatever.
05:28Take your shirt off.
05:29Stupid stuff.
05:30You're college kids.
05:31I'd like to make a rule.
05:33No more Kyle Falcon stuff.
05:36You got to make three in a row first beyond irrelevant, not only because he wasn't the
05:41head coach and we don't do that, but B, it wasn't here.
05:47Like if we're going to assess the coaching job of Kyle Shanahan, we've got a tremendous
05:53amount to work with here as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
05:59If you want to play coordinator games, then we get to go to Cleveland and we get to go
06:03to Houston.
06:04We get to go to all these places, Washington, where Kyle was an assistant and start assessing
06:09what happened in each of those cases, whether the team was better offensively, worse.
06:15It's really, really overwhelming and quite frankly, a waste of our time.
06:19It's irrelevant.
06:20Leave Atlanta out of this, this one game where, by the way, the defensive coordinator, no
06:27one even knows who he was and he was the one who couldn't stop the Patriots the entire
06:32second half.
06:33Yeah.
06:34I believe the caller even said that for those of you on YouTube, you heard him say what
06:36the Chuck was his name.
06:37That's right.
06:38And I couldn't quite remember what he was saying was Dan Quinn because he was the head
06:42coach.
06:43I'm going to allow one wrinkle to your rule.
06:46And if you call in and you want to talk about him blowing a 28 to nine point lead, I'll
06:51allow it because when they got the ball back, it actually was 28 to nine.
06:55So if you really want to be nuanced about it, yeah, but he didn't blow a 28 to three
06:59lead because he's the offensive coordinator.
07:02And when he got the ball back to coordinate, it was already 28 to nine.
07:06But why, why are you then hanging on him?
07:08All of the other scores that happened after that, hanging any of it on, he doesn't get
07:12any of that.
07:13The Patriots ended up with over 30 points, whatever.
07:15He was a coordinator and that was 10 years ago.
07:17So I'm with you.
07:18But I do like when people 28 to three, it wasn't 28 to three, but you're right.
07:24We have enough of a body of work.
07:26And I do think that if Christian McCaffrey misses the next four games, so he misses the
07:31first five games.
07:32I still think that what Kyle Shanahan has done, what John Lynch has done, what this
07:38team is, you should still be five and oh, I'm going to give you a four and one if you're
07:44four and one and you lose at LA or you lose the Sunday at Minnesota, I'm going to give
07:50you a pass.
07:51I hear where you're coming from five and oh, you're that good.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Well, again, I hear where you're coming from, but if anything, uh, haven't we learned over
08:01the last seven days, can we just go week to week?
08:04I know that that's not an answer that's satisfying to people.
08:07Sure.
08:08Mark, I get where you're coming from.
08:09You're asking me about the Sunday game.
08:11Let's just talk about three 10 on Friday.
08:14We know who's playing Sunday.
08:15We do.
08:16I don't know who's playing the next Sunday because you got to get through this Sunday.
08:22There might not be a next Sunday.
08:23If you ask Kyle Shanahan.
08:24That's right.
08:25The world might explode.
08:26Greg in Antioch next up on Willard and Dibbs.
08:28Hi, Greg.
08:29Thank you for calling.
08:30Hey, how you guys doing?
08:33Good.
08:34Quick question, man.
08:35What do you guys think about Kyle putting Debo at running back with wide receiver shoulder
08:42pads, running them up the middle and he already has a bad shoulder from last year?
08:47Well, I don't, I, I'm not, yeah, I'm not a doctor, Greg.
08:51I don't know if his shoulder from last year is fully healed or not or whatever.
08:54I get where you're coming from and I'll just reiterate what I said earlier.
08:58My hope is that other running backs, whether it's Garendo, whether it's Taylor, whether
09:04it's somebody that they sign, a lot of people are bringing up Matt Brito who was here just
09:07a couple of weeks ago.
09:09Could you bring him back?
09:10I would love to see other running backs be the ones who spell Jordan Mason during this
09:16time more than Debo, A, because yes, running them up the middle, I worry for Debo's health,
09:23but B, I want when Debo gets the ball out of the backfield, I love the element of surprise.
09:27I want those jet sweeps.
09:29That's all still going to happen.
09:30That was already going to happen, but just handing him the ball to run straight up the
09:34middle, not my favorite, not my favorite.
09:37And you've got Garendo, you drafted him and he's starting to get into shape and starting
09:40to get ready.
09:41I bet you, you see some Garendo carries on Sunday.
09:44I agree with you.
09:45I hope so.
09:46We're sponsored by Safeway.
09:47The questions we're answering, A, if indeed Christian McCaffrey's gone through at least
09:52week five, are the Niners still Super Bowl favorites?
09:55And B, through those first five games, what do you expect their record to be if he's out
09:59for all of them?
10:00888-957-9570.
10:01Matty Barrow's on the beat in an hour.
10:05Your phone calls till then on Weatherden Dibs.
10:08Head to Safeway this week for this digital deal and more.
10:11Nabisco Family...
17:20on Monday and over the weekend.
17:23Quote, we looked into the 49ers reporting of the playing status of Christian McCaffrey
17:28for the team's Monday night game against the New York Jets.
17:31We have found no evidence of a violation of the league's injury report policy in this
17:38matter.
17:39End quote.
17:40End issue.
17:41End story, which was a non-story, and it unfortunately became a story because of Jordan Mason's
17:47on-field post-game interview where he told Lisa Salters, yeah, they told me on Friday
17:52I was going to start.
17:53Even if that was true, that still is not a violation because McCaffrey could have been
17:58the backup.
17:59Absolutely.
18:00And what if McCaffrey was in Kyle's doghouse, like Brandon Ayoub famously was?
18:04So you know what I mean?
18:06Just because J.P. Mason's going to start doesn't mean that McCaffrey's going to be out due
18:09to injury.
18:10These things are mutually exclusive.
18:11You're absolutely right.
18:12And everybody, not everybody, but a lot of people missed that sort of approach.
18:18The illegal thing would have been if Jordan Mason answered the question, they told me
18:21on Friday, right when they told Christian that he definitely wasn't playing.
18:25Now we've got a violation.
18:29And you know what it would have been.
18:30It would have been a violation sensation.
18:32It would have been.
18:33All right, let's go to the...
18:34It wasn't a buck, it probably would have been $100,000.
18:35Right.
18:36That's $100,000 grand.
18:37That's a clean $100,000, yeah.
18:38Cash me up one time!
18:39That's a clean $100,000, I think.
18:40Yeah, which Jed York is like, I didn't even notice that.
18:44But anyway, before we go to the phones, which we're going to do right now, but this take
18:4813 seconds, Kyle Shanahan was asked about already being down to a third running back.
18:56Because of course, Eli Mitchell, now I think this is a little bit of a disingenuous sort
18:59of an approach.
19:00I think Jordan Mason was going to beat out Eli Mitchell anyway, I thought that all camp.
19:04But okay, you're down to a third running back already.
19:08Here's Kyle's response.
19:09It's different to be down to your third guy already.
19:11I've never really looked at Elijah or JP as two or threes.
19:14I think those guys are capable of being ones, as Elijah has shown in the past, and so is
19:19JP.
19:20For those, the two new guys, when their op comes, I believe they're ready.
19:23Okay, so he views JP as a one, so they're not down to their third running back.
19:27They've got three ones.
19:28Right, now they've got a couple of twos as well, and they should probably go out and
19:32add a three.
19:34And I was mentioning Keyshawn Vaughn on the practice squad.
19:37He might be a guy who gets elevated, so stay tuned.
19:40Kyle Shanahan, like his father before him, they've done a lot of magical things on the
19:44ground with people you've never heard of.
19:47Always have.
19:48Right.
19:49Always, always have.
19:50And if you've been an NFL fan for a minute, you'll remember those names, from Mike Anderson
19:54to Olandis Gary, and then the ones that actually had some name value, Terrell Davis and Clinton
20:00Portis and whatever.
20:01But it's just like, it doesn't matter who's back there.
20:03So it seemed.
20:05And the Niners have that too, Mostert, Breida, on and on.
20:09888-957-9570.
20:12Kristen McCaffrey is out for week two.
20:14The 49ers are considering an IR stint, which would push him through at least week five.
20:21Let's go to Jay.
20:22Hey, Jay, thanks for calling.
20:24What's up?
20:25Hey, I guess your guy didn't tell you.
20:31So I want to put out a 95.7 community.
20:34I'm trying to drill through a leaf spring.
20:38Do I go carbide or titanium for a drill bit?
20:41You got to go titanium.
20:43I don't think that the carbide is going to give you a clean enough cut.
20:46You know, you need the heat that comes with the titanium.
20:48Much cleaner, cleaner trip through, if I can recall.
20:51I'm going to answer this in a very fuddy-duddy way.
20:54Jay, our producers, and he's got a name, his name's Lucas, he's the director of sports
20:58at 95.7 The Game.
20:59He absolutely, absolutely made us aware that you're trying to drill a hole in metal.
21:05And while Christian McCaffrey is facing IR, I'll straight admit, I didn't give a rip.
21:10So Jay, sorry for being a fuddy-duddy.
21:15I really don't care what you do here with your metal.
21:18But I'm glad you called.
21:21I'm taking Div's advice, Dad.
21:23All right, good.
21:24You should.
21:25I don't know the answer anyway.
21:26Oh, yeah.
21:27It's clear.
21:28So the thing is this, man, RBs don't last.
21:33And NFL teams know this.
21:36And man, rest CMC.
21:40Just rest him.
21:41Just freaking rest him.
21:45And let Kyle do what Kyle does, all right?
21:48So you got an entire season, right?
21:51All right?
21:52This is a large, what do you say, sample size.
21:58You have a large sample size for the season.
22:01And yes, did he make mistakes?
22:04Sure.
22:05In that final moment, the last quarter.
22:08But just trust in Kyle, people.
22:12Just trust in Kyle.
22:14And I'm sorry, Div, what'd you say?
22:16Titanium.
22:17Titanium?
22:18Titanium, Jay, yeah.
22:19Go Titanium.
22:20All right, I'm on it.
22:21Appreciate it.
22:23Go Titanium.
22:24Or Tarkanian.
22:25Thank you, Jay.
22:26Use the Tarkanian, Blake.
22:27Yeah, eat a towel and it'll be fine.
22:28Best of luck.
22:29And he's right about RBs.
22:31They tend to not last.
22:33And because of that, if you can have a more fresh McCaffrey in week, whatever, 10 or 12,
22:40I don't even know if that exists.
22:42Clearly right now in week two, he's not ready to go.
22:44And that doesn't have to be a devastating thing.
22:47You're all absolutely right.
22:50I have the hardest time processing this point, though, because here's where my head goes.
22:55In fact, even the number one, the most recent set of texts on the Xfinity mobile text line,
23:01510, thank you, put him on IR so he's ready to go in the back half of the season when
23:06it counts.
23:07You know exactly what I'm going to say.
23:09How the hell do you know he's going to be ready then?
23:11He's been hurt since January.
23:13January.
23:14Right.
23:15Right.
23:17Right.
23:18So why do we suddenly think, oh, just put him away till week six and then the Chiefs
23:25come to town and they'll be ready to ride.
23:28Maybe.
23:29Maybe.
23:30I'm preparing my mind for Christian to not play this year.
23:36I'm not telling you I think that.
23:38I'm not telling you that it's going to go that way.
23:41But if Christian is ready to rock in the way that we know Christian is ready to rock, I'll
23:46be pleasantly surprised and that will be wonderful.
23:48Yes.
23:49But like, dude, if this has been lingering since January, on what planet are we all thinking?
23:54Why just give him a few more weeks like they've given him a bunch of weeks?
23:58He ain't ready.
24:00I don't know if he's going to play this year.
24:01I got no idea.
24:02And I'll tell you this, having coached at a much lower level and dealt with athlete
24:07injuries, when you have an injury that could be severe, you immediately shift your mindset
24:12into what do we do without this player?
24:14You want the player back.
24:16They want him ready for week three.
24:18And if he goes on IR, you're hoping he's ready for week six.
24:21And if he's not ready until week 10 or 14, you're going to be ready at that point.
24:25Between now and then, you've got to rush the ball.
24:27You've got to find a way to get yards on the ground and win football games.
24:30So I'm sure Kyle already is sympathetic to Christian's plight right now, but he's already
24:36moved on to what do we do in game plan wise without him?
24:39No doubt.
24:40But here's where, when people go Super Bowl or bust, or it's a year-to-year league, here's
24:46where I do think you have to bring the future into play.
24:51Not just because of the contractual situation, but are you a human being?
24:55Like Christian McCaffrey, if doctors are telling you, yeah, he could play week nine.
25:02He's at a much higher risk to rupture the thing.
25:07Now you're bringing next year, and you're bringing, quite frankly, in his late 20s at
25:11that position, you're bringing his entire career into the balance.
25:16And so I do think that's a conversation that could end up happening, where you do get to
25:21week eight, or week nine, or week 10, and you're like, this is just not worth the risk.
25:28We'll see next year.
25:29That's possible.
25:30That's possible, because you can't, even to win a Super Bowl, if you feel like this guy's
25:36at a high-level risk of rupturing his Achilles, I mean, and I know what Christian will say,
25:42come on coach, put me out there, it'll be fine.
25:45But similar to the conversation a lot of people are having today about Tua, you gotta get
25:50other opinions entered into this whole conversation, and sometimes help these players save them
25:57from themselves.
25:58No doubt.
25:59And we obviously are not aware of just how severe the Achilles strain, or the Achilles
26:04tendinitis is, and we've heard many doctors, and Dr. Nirav Pandya joined us earlier today,
26:10and Dr. Brian Feeley earlier in the week, and based on the severity, that will indicate
26:15how much more likely it is that a rupture occurs.
26:19So not knowing how severe it is, we don't know that, because if he was on the precipice
26:24of a rupture, he probably would have had surgery in March, and just bagged the year, and got
26:30it good, and sat a year, and thought, you know what, I'll just come back in nine to
26:3412 months, and make it better.
26:36But if it's a 50-50 thing, where maybe rest will quiet it down, and you'll be able to
26:41play, that becomes a more difficult thing.
26:44When I tore my ACL, I went to the doctor, and they're like, you have no ACL.
26:48You need one, so we're gonna go ahead and put one in from a cadaver.
26:51Okay, wasn't a really difficult choice to make, but this is a tough call to make.
26:56Absolutely.
26:57Absolutely.
26:58By the way, our friend Tim Kawakami sent this out about an hour ago, and I think it's a
27:03fair thing to enter at least informationally into the conversation.
27:07So many people now talking about the possibility of IR, which would make him eligible to come
27:11back week six against Seattle.
27:13As you pointed out, short week, and oh, by the way, what surface do they play on?
27:19Same thing that we're talking about in Minnesota and LA.
27:22That's another turf game, and it is a very short week.
27:25So if he's not gonna be ready by Sunday against the Cardinals in week five, you may well be
27:32thinking, oh, let's not do week six in Seattle either.
27:36That's four days later, and it's on turf.
27:39So maybe right now the Niners are actually circling the week after that, which correct
27:45me if I'm wrong, that's the Kansas City Chiefs.
27:47Yes, and they go, after that game, they go grass, grass, grass, turf, grass.
27:56That's their next five, and including a bye.
27:58The only turf game is at Seattle, no, they have Seattle at home, Tampa's grass.
28:05What is Buffalo?
28:06Buffalo is turf.
28:07Okay, so there's your next turf game after Seattle is in December, is in December because
28:13they will go home, home, Tampa, home, Green Bay, and a bye week in there too.
28:20Exactly, and the Buffalo game, I believe, is your final turf game of the year until
28:24you play Arizona.
28:25You play Arizona on January 5th, which hopefully the Niners have wrapped up the first round
28:31bye-bye then because of, as we've learned, they will not be losing any games this year,
28:35and so he can rest for that one too.
28:37Yeah, and the reason why I still think that they are a Super Bowl team, and honestly I
28:42think 5-0 after five games is where they should be, I just look back at the 2019 year, Niners
28:49go 13-3, and here are the carries, Tevin Coleman, 137, Raheem Mostert, 137, Matt Breida,
28:57123.
28:58Wow, that's crazy.
28:59Those were your three running backs.
29:01That's crazy.
29:02And they all rushed for four to five and a half yards a tote.
29:05But this is a different team.
29:06It is.
29:07I mean, when you acquire Christian, you're committing to more of a bell cow scenario.
29:12But you can go from committing to committee if you have to, see what I did there, and
29:17this was much more of a committee, and if it's Mason and Garendo and, I don't know,
29:23whoever else you can find, maybe Breida coming back, maybe you can do it that way.
29:27Let's go to Waterman in Corte Madera.
29:29Hey, Waterman, what's going on?
29:30You're on with Willard and Dibbs.
29:33Afternoon, gentlemen.
29:34Thank you for taking the call.
29:35Yeah, man.
29:36So I've got two things.
29:37Obviously, this is not the news any Niner fan wants to hear, and so I'm going to slightly
29:44contradict myself.
29:46My first thought is, if you're thinking I.R., put him on I.R. right now.
29:51Why are we thinking about it?
29:52And let's not let him play until after the bye week.
29:56Forget the Chiefs game.
29:57He's more important than just one game during the regular season.
30:01But then the other flip is what you kind of stole some of my thunder there, Willard, is
30:07what is six weeks going to do when six months hasn't done?
30:12So I mean, I don't know where you go with this.
30:15Now, I guess it could be a week by week thing.
30:19But I mean, that leaves everybody like, what was it this week or is it did it flare up
30:22again or never doing this back and forth thing?
30:25And that I mean, that screwing with Kyle, where you just just shelf him, just shelf
30:30the guy and like not like move on from him, obviously, but just move on with the game
30:35plan and just know you won't have him for this duration.
30:38Well, Waterman, here's what I here's what I would say, because it's a fair point that
30:42many might be thinking, but this and I'm going to just try to translate Kyle Shanahan
30:46the best that I can, dibs.
30:48I think you'll back me on this, Waterman.
30:50Thank you for the call.
30:51He's saying, if you're considering IR, just do it.
30:55My translation is that's what they're trying to tell you.
30:59The reason you don't just come out and do it on Friday at two o'clock is because the
31:07pain came yesterday.
31:08That was worse.
31:10You go through the morning process at the facility.
31:13You're talking with team doctors.
31:15You've got to still conduct practice.
31:17You've got to put together an injury report for the game.
31:19So a lot going on.
31:20It's a busy day.
31:22And then once that's all happened, now you're going to huddle as a group.
31:26In other words, there's no difference between putting them on IR today or putting them on
31:31IR tonight or putting them on IR tomorrow morning or Sunday morning.
31:36There's no difference in that.
31:37So this is simply the 49ers not rushing to a microphone to tell us what's happening.
31:43But if they set it into a microphone, that is what they're doing.
31:49That's what I believe.
31:50I believe that Christian McCaffrey will be on IR by Sunday morning.
31:53I think that he'll be on IR by tomorrow morning.
31:57And I do think that the announcement comes out today because they realize there's no
32:01sense in even flying McCaffrey there for a, let's see if you're ready Sunday morning kind
32:06of a vibe.
32:07He got through yesterday.
32:08He comes in today.
32:10Practice was at 1230 today.
32:11By the time he came in today, the pain was so severe that you knew he was going to be
32:16out on Sunday.
32:17So now you go through practice, 1230.
32:19They probably wrapped it up a little while ago.
32:22And Kyle Shanahan already spoke at 130 when it was over.
32:25And now you sit down with the GM and you sit down with your player personnel people and
32:30you look at your options and maybe it is, you call Matt Breida back and see if he's
32:35able to rejoin the team or you elevate Keyshawn Vaughn off the practice squad or you look
32:40at all your options and you figure out if he's going to go on the IR, what's the corresponding
32:45move you make, or maybe you just play this out for another week and you try to get him
32:50ready for week three.
32:51Well we'll see about that.
32:52I don't think that that's likely option a, I mean, again, I like, I think Christian is
32:57very likely going to end up on IR this weekend and then it just becomes, dude, you're over
33:02here and the doctor's going to let us know when you're ready to go.
33:06And if that's week six, great, seven, eight, great.
33:09Not at all.
33:10Okay.
33:11But until you're back, option a is exactly what you saw on Monday.
33:15I have absolutely no hesitation about the idea of dude, let Jordan Mason run for 1400
33:21yards this year.
33:23He can do it in this offense.
33:25And I don't sound crazy because I can give you a list of, of you've never heard of them's
33:30who do that under Shanahan, Mike or Kyle.
33:34That's what they do.
33:35This is a very, very effective system and we can line up offensive linemen to come on
33:41the air right now.
33:43Mark Schlaer will do it with us next Tuesday, I promise.
33:46And he'll tell you exactly why this run scheme is so effective.
33:51And if you've got Trent Williams on the left and Poonie doing what he's doing now at right
33:55guard and you're able to pick sides the way they are like, yeah, yes, Mason can lead the
34:02league in rushing if he's healthy for 17 games and gets that opportunity.
34:07No doubt in my mind.
34:09Or you can have some sort of a committee.
34:11And I referred to you earlier, the 2019 year of Coleman, most certain Brita.
34:16They combined for 1930 yards on 400 carries.
34:20Now you're not going to ask, you know, Jordan Mason to carry it 400 times and go for 1900,
34:25but give him three 30, you give him two 80, and then you spread one 50 among Garendo and
34:31you know, whoever else you want to elevate up 28 carries last time.
34:34Yeah.
34:35It's all right.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Times 16, 28 times.
34:38Well, 28 times.
34:3917.
34:40Yeah.
34:41That's about four 17, 476.
34:44That seems like a lot.
34:45I'll take the under.
34:47It feels like it might be a record.
34:49But this three headed monster was 397 carries for more than 1900 yards.
34:56So they were able to run the ball effectively and go to the Superbowl, by the way, with
35:01Coleman, most or Brita and just a tiny sprinkle of Jeff Wilson.
35:06These are not household names.
35:08No, no.
35:09But but but boy, they were successful and all still bouncing around to 888-957-9570
35:15is the number.
35:16Are the Niners still Superbowl favorites if CMC hits IR?
35:20And what do you expect the record to be after week five, if that's the case?
35:25Want to know now?
35:26Then it's at Minnesota, then it's at the Rams, then it's home to the Patriots and home to
35:30the Cardinals before he'd be eligible.
35:33If the Niners choose to do that.
35:34Marvin and Livermore is next up on Weatherden Dibs.
35:37Hi, Marvin.
35:38Thank you for the call.
35:39Hey, how you guys doing?
35:40Good show.
35:41I just have a different viewpoint.
35:45I do think the Niners are the favorites out of NFC after one game.
35:50But three things that I want to say, one is who gets the blame or credit as CMC's agent
35:59that good that he hit a serious injury from them so far and got had him become the highest
36:04paid running back.
36:06And then two, on Mason, brand new, he's one fumble or two fumbles away from not starting
36:13to where the Niner is going to do.
36:16And then three, I'm a lifelong Bronco fan.
36:18And all those running backs you mentioned did great, but we only won the Super Bowl
36:22when we got a Hall of Fame running back TD.
36:25So the 1,900 yards those guys did, they didn't win.
36:29And the name of the game for the Niners right now, their window is to win.
36:33So I'm not sure running back by committee will win a Super Bowl.
36:36Yeah, I know.
36:37Marvin, this is an interesting call.
36:38And I don't love running back by committee either in this particular scenario.
36:44A little bit of a chicken or the egg comment.
36:46I don't want to take anything away from Terrell Davis.
36:48I will say if he ended up on a different team, I don't know that he would have gotten a gold
36:51jacket.
36:52So when you say they didn't win until they got TD, that's true.
36:56But was TD, I mean, we do this to Purdy, right?
36:58So was TD a product of the system?
37:02No doubt.
37:03To a degree.
37:04And he had John Elway as a quarterback, even though I know he wasn't as devastating in
37:07that portion of his career.
37:09But anyway, let's just sort of bringing it back to the 49ers.
37:13The first thing he brought up I would love to address.
37:15The idea of the agent for Christian McCaffrey and Christian himself sort of like insinuating
37:21that they pulled the wool over the 49ers' eyes in becoming the highest paid running
37:25back.
37:26A, he was already the highest paid running back in the game.
37:29He just got a little bit more.
37:30And B, should the 49ers have known that this was going to linger or flare back up?
37:37I don't know if you can ask that of teams.
37:40And C, even if they did know that that was a risk, I think you still do it.
37:46I think you still do it.
37:48You know, it's akin to me on a much smaller scale to what the Warriors did when they showed
37:52up to Klay Thompson's hotel room with a max extension.
37:55It's like the expectation is that Christian's going to be a part of this for a number of
37:59more years and is going to get back healthy.
38:03If they end up wrong, it won't be the first time.
38:06You know, D-forward, like sometimes things happen and you're just like, well, they got
38:10The 49ers used to always draft guys with torn ACLs, if you remember Marcus Lattimore and
38:15Contavious Street, I believe, was another guy who had an ACL, but they didn't have the
38:19wall pulled over their eyes.
38:22Yeah.
38:23Joe, who never actually played in the NFL.
38:24Never played.
38:25Randy said that like he was still mad about it.
38:26That guy heard the wide receiver, was it Jalen Hurd, who had the bad back and he never
38:31played either.
38:32Preseason legend, though.
38:34And I don't believe that they pulled the wall over the Niners' eyes.
38:37They knew full well where he was medically and they chose to sign him and give him guaranteed
38:42money anyway because he's that important.
