00:00It was a blitz on that play and Campbell they blitzed on third and fourth down they did both those plays
00:05Yeah, they wonder they were aggressive with pressure now back to Willard and dibs on 95 7 the game
00:13Aggressive with pressure ever when you said it was a zone read. He's like it's not a zone read. It's not
00:20It's not a zone read wasn't his own read
00:23It was a read option. There's a read. I knew I was trying to like
00:28After the fact
00:31And then in part of his answer he's like yeah in the zone read. I'm like wait. What did you just say to me I?
00:37Got I mean oh my god
00:39Can I read some of these I felt like?
00:43Fantastic I mean the Comcast business text line was a riot throughout that entire interview
00:49I got bottled up so all of them. I saw all of them. It was hysterical rough interview for your boy dibs
00:57person
01:00Every time I'd ask a question I'd look at Grandy, and he would do his slow head shake like dibs. You gotta be better
01:07Man nine to five this whole interview is just nothing to see here. This team is amazing no matter what
01:15lol, okay
01:19262 lol Cosell is the one guy that pushes back on the dibber what a mensch
01:27Man let me
01:30Let's see nine to five tip passes aren't fluky. They're called tip drills
01:35Let's see and I think there are more than three this year, but I again I three dibs
01:41I wasn't worth three
01:44Zone read I was not in position to push back on Greg's numbers
01:49Nine to five bro really talking to y'all like you don't know football at all turns out
01:55I don't know ball 4 1 5 lol this guy makes Willard seem objective about the Niners
02:026 5 0 Cosell seems a little cranky today still great insight
02:09hang on
02:11707 quite a contentious call with Cosell today. I think you guys need a hug after that way to earn that paycheck
02:20Let's see
02:225 6 2 love the battle dib money you put up a good fight. You did well
02:27I wasn't trying to fight
02:29I was just trying to offer up my thoughts and opinions on a play
02:32But I couldn't even get the question out before he would jump the route
02:36It felt like he knew where I was going every time
02:39Like it's almost like he was primed on the questions
02:439 to 5 I feel like when Cosell hung up. He said geez those schmucks
02:50Don't know crap I
02:54Felt a little bit like Joe Biden in the first debate this year
02:589 to 5 these interviews with Greg have a jack-hannah Dave Letterman feel
03:03amazing
03:05Let's see Wow. Oh, this will make you feel good though
03:099 to 5
03:11one guy
03:12Don't make you guys wrong
03:14Yeah, see here. I was thinking that guy does he does
03:19I don't even know what he was saying that was going to refute what we we had to offer although you
03:24You did go off topic a little bit asking about play calling, and he put you in your place
03:28I don't do play call you play call the meeting on Monday
03:32That's not my fault like what he's supposed to be in the meeting on Monday
03:36Well, no, but the idea I didn't even ask him about an opinion
03:40I said is it different than what you've seen in the past and I get what his response is which is actually
03:46Something I feel like it's a tree
03:48I've tried to take a whack at a time or two
03:50Which is we walk out of a game and go that was the play called. I'm like no. That's what happened
03:56You don't know the play. I don't know the play call you in the meeting on Monday
04:00I don't I wasn't cuz I wasn't but if we have Brock's running around in circles
04:05I feel like some people are like man
04:07Shanahan called the Brock run around in circles play exactly no he didn't call that
04:13But the defense was here there or whatever it didn't play out that way
04:16And I think that's what Greg's getting at, but I was talking more just about dropping back versus handing the ball off
04:22I don't think you need to be in the meeting for that. Do you you do I guess I'm a schmuck
04:27Well you need to be in the meeting because you don't know
04:30Like by design what the plan is and the fact that they came out and they threw it a to the first nine
04:36Does that mean that Shanahan's abandoning the runners he's seeing something that he thinks he can explore
04:41That's a great question
04:43No, I loved his response. He goes by the way. Do you guys know they can't cover either?
04:49Which by the way to two pronged I'm like oh, so maybe that that's what Kyle was trying to attack
04:56But then you go alright, so Greg. Just said they can't stop the run, and they can't stop the past and
05:02You scored zero points in the second half right oof
05:06Oof
05:09When I did
05:10Kind of score some Co sell points with my question about the red zone if I even got the question now
05:16No, yeah, he started. He started right in on that emoting right away
05:21Because it is partly that they don't have Christian McCaffrey because you can't do a lot of different things
05:26But he also pointed out what I've been saying all week about
05:29The low red zone inside the ten and how they have not been able to run the football
05:34Absolutely and Brock is probably taking off
05:38You know a little bit too quickly at times
05:41I'm trying to lick wounds by using phrases like low red zone now now that Greg's gone
05:45I feel like I can maybe start to feel good about myself again like him
05:49Which is making me scared of you when I try to talk to him like him
05:54And he interrupts me and rebukes me it makes me feel less like me
05:58Let alone less like him
06:00It's tough, oh, it's not tough. He's great. I love him
06:05The funniest thing ever is that the text line is like oh my god for a half-hour everyone's like Greg hates you guys
06:16I'm like a bag cuz we make you feel smart totally
06:20It's great
06:22It's like when you think you're funny as I do
06:26Like for example Robin Williams, and you try to run material, and they look at you like dude. What is that or Bill Burr?
06:34That was a tough spot, but yeah, that's a good. That's a good example
06:38You try to be funny to people who are actually funny for a living and it doesn't usually work, okay?
06:45So you try to be a football smart guy to a guy who's an elite football smart guy
06:49We're bringing them on we're good to ask the questions, and you know what if it's like no, that's not what happened. I'm like
06:57Okay, good. That wasn't zone read and tell us what happened. That's why he's coming on right you know and by the way
07:04Even though you and I have footprints all over our face
07:08Hey Niner fans
07:10Did you come out of that?
07:13feeling better
07:15Because I will give you what I thought was the overarching point
07:20Greg thinks that what has happened to the 49ers is
07:25very
07:27Circumstantial you can use the word
07:30They should be for one what the word is fluky
07:32And it's a word he used and he talked about a Mason fumble he was using that in terms of tip balls, right?
07:38He was talking about Baltimore last year on Christmas, right?
07:41But I think if in he mentioned the Mason fumble if Mason doesn't fumble at the eight
07:45We're having a different conversation, and we've actually had that very conversation
07:49he's talking about the Devon Drake Campbell tip ball that Fred Warner would have had a pick six if
07:54So in other words something good happened, but it would have been even better if that good thing hadn't happened
08:00I would say I'm gonna go back and look at the film on that third and five play
08:03But I'm not looking at the film anymore. Don't do it. I'm done
08:08You're terrible at it so apparently
08:11Yeah, they also, but since they're done. Yeah, Greg. I if you would let me finish the question
08:16I was gonna mention know that they also
08:19Got served. I mean, I'm used to getting interrupted from you
08:24Usually the guest doesn't do me like that
08:26I did get sir. I coached him. I called him yesterday. I said listen dibs don't like to talk
08:31He gets seven words in and you jump in Greg
08:34He'll be much more comfortable if about halfway through his question you just guess what you think
08:40The question is gonna be and just start answering it
08:42Because it's honestly dibs. It's his comfort zone. He goes on too long. He doesn't like to talk
08:49So but no did you feel a little and and maybe not because there's someone just wrote to us
08:55It's one guy one man's opinion, but then again Greg's not really an opinion guy
08:59So Greg would tell you whether you want to believe this or not. He's like. I don't have any opinion
09:04I'm telling you the facts
09:05Yeah, but he sees on tape telling you what I look at and what I look at is that the 49ers are
09:10Pretty similar to what they were last year
09:13Yeah
09:13and I was trying to get my Mike McDonald question in about how he as the defensive coordinator of Baltimore last year he
09:23Thought he kind of had his way with the Niners and no he didn't they moved up and down the field
09:28He's right. They threw five interceptions correct doesn't
09:33Well two of them were tipped two of them were bad throws and then Darnold had the fifth he disagrees with you
09:39He thinks one of them was a bad throw and actually wasn't even a bad throw as bad read
09:42So in other words he threw it right where he wanted to it's kind of like when you read a putt as like
09:48I think this is gonna break one foot left to right and then you put it exactly where you mean to put it
09:53But it turns out it's the wrong read. It was a great putt great execution
09:59But Brock didn't see someone so he threw it where he wanted to throw it
10:02But it's a bad read the bad analogy is what that was I don't think so at all
10:08Execution perfect read off so in other words you shouldn't have tried to do what you tried to do
10:14But you did what you tried to do, but it was conceptually the wrong thing to try in golf
10:20There's no defense so that's where the analogy misses me
10:23You and Greg to go back and look at the tapes again from the Baltimore game you're refuting Greg Cosell's tape
10:30His take on the tape yes Wow yeah call him back dibs greater than NFL films
10:37I just he was a guy who last week admitted that he had to go back and watch the tape and
10:42You know not all tip balls are the same and when you throw a pass into coverage, and he gets tipped
10:48Then that's the way that goes we gotta go to the phones. I think everybody wants to talk about Greg Cosell
10:54versus
10:56Dibs and a little bit of Willard. That's what it looks like let's find out
11:00but first
11:02Let's remind you that you are
11:04Listening to 95 7 the game KGM Z FM and HD 1 San Francisco and Odyssey Sports Station
11:08always live on the free Odyssey app twitch and YouTube powered by first NorCal credit union for a low-rate auto loan apply online or
11:16Just ask for first NorCal
11:19Financing at the dealer, and if that doesn't work just ask to get served by Greg Cosell
11:25Let's go to GPD in Hayward. Hi GPD. What's good?
11:32What time does he come on every Wednesday I gotta put that on my calendar 315 GPD don't miss it
11:38We're already counting down to next week
11:40Man he faded you guys dibbers, please it's a tip, and he told you exactly what it was
11:47Let me give you an analogy. That's like me showing up. I'm a contract. I show up to the inspection
11:54The inspector comes he's a 25 year contractor and now he's a 60 year old OG inspector
12:01He knows a code book in and out and I try to tell him what I did he was like no you didn't do this
12:08My bad homie I back all the way up tell me what I need to know sir
12:16Man I love Cosell he was great
12:21He's man. He's the ultimate bro. I feel a lot better about
12:27Bang bang niner gang. I'm gonna be out there in Congress tomorrow, man. Love you guys nice enjoy that
12:33Look at the tape the Niners are 5-0. I want you to just look at the tape dibs
12:39Yeah, they're 5-0 and that man is for absolutely not a thing actually that's not true
12:45I'm not actually I'm kidding, but of course no, but I would argue that how the Niners are looking on tape
12:52How they're executing what they're trying to do what they're doing
12:58Happening does matter it does matter like I think Greg's point what one thing I heard you tell me if you agree
13:05What I heard him say is that football teams are gonna go out there
13:10There are no mysteries. Everybody knows what the other team's gonna try to do
13:14They know what their tendencies are, but they're gonna go out there try to impose their will and execute better than the other team
13:21And the good teams the ones who do it really well, that's usually gonna lead to a win, but not always
13:28And yes, some things are flukier than others and he didn't I don't think he argued that the Niners have been fantastically perfect
13:36Like he did love your red zone thought he's like that hasn't been good and that's a big part of what's going on
13:42But it does matter and that's what we're gonna be talking about
13:47But it does feel to me like Greg feels that this is gonna even out over time
13:52And I think that that's I don't think there's anything unfair about that
13:56There's nothing unfair about it as long as that actually happens and you can you can be happy with how you've looked on tape
14:03And you can be happy with your execution in general even though you're two and three
14:07But you have a chance tomorrow to go out there and do that execute play well and win a game
14:13And if you go out and do what you did against the Rams and do what you did against the Cardinals, which is execute
14:19And hold the ball for longer and gain a bunch of not yards and play better than the opponent but still lose
14:26Then for me, it doesn't matter for a hill of beans and you know
14:30He talked about him being a process guy and you pumped your fist because you're also a process guy
14:36More than I am a process guy because yeah, the process is great
14:40But your results they stink and if your results continue to stink and you don't go to the playoffs
14:45Who gives a crap about your process has to be there has to be overlap there because it's a results-based business
14:51So I'll agree with you there, but I do think that that is for example
14:56It helps explain how for example
15:01You might be a little bit more unsettled about where the 49ers are right now than I am
15:08Because you're a results-based person. Yep, and they're two and three and that sucks and I agree with you 100%
15:16But I'm a process guy and to me while the two and three sucks
15:21I'm going to continue to hold on to my very very clear belief that this is going to work
15:28I have a very clear belief that this is going to normalize that the Niners have outplayed the opponent four out of five times
15:35And that this will get better despite the fact that the teams they're about to play in theory are better
15:43Like that's my belief and I could be proven wrong and tomorrow night might be another fluky loss
15:50If Greg wants to call it that I don't even know if he'd call it that
15:54Yes, you're only allowed so many of those and they've done it twice against teams that are wildly inferior
16:01My opinion, my opinion, but that's why I hold out that right now I do
16:08I believe that this is going to look better as the season continues to evolve
16:13It has the past three years and it has over the Shanahan tenure
16:17And so you're probably on the right side of the probability that it will look better
16:23And the results will fall in line based on the process
16:26Which the process has not been terrible it's been the results that have been the bigger issue
16:31And I don't want to get too far ahead because we have a game tomorrow against Seattle
16:35But you are at a rest disadvantage against Kansas City which is a big thing
16:40And you're at a similar disadvantage against Dallas which is a big thing
16:44I think it's a thing
16:45I think it's a big thing
16:46I know you do
16:47It's less of a thing when you're at home than it is when you're on the road
16:50And they are for both of those games
16:51Yes
16:52Yes
16:53But I do think that it's a pretty big thing when you've got a Kansas City team that'll be coming in off a bye
16:58And they're undefeated
17:00Yep
17:01And Dallas will be coming in off a bye and they look like they might be getting things right offensively
17:06They do
17:07Why because one pass got completed on the last play of the game on Sunday night
17:11They look awful
17:12Results
17:13Results
17:14But to say they look like they're starting to get things right
17:17The last play of the game on fourth down in order to score 20 points
17:23I know Pittsburgh's a good defense but again
17:26I have not watched any Dallas games yet this year and come away impressed
17:30None of them
17:31None of them
17:32But that's okay
17:33Like you said
17:343-2
17:353-2
17:363-2
17:37Austin in San Jose is next
17:38Hi Austin thanks for calling
17:40Hey fellas how you guys doing?
17:42I'm enjoying the conversation the back and forth
17:44Dibley you handle it like a pro man with Greg
17:46I enjoyed it it was funny but you handled it very well
17:50Greg kind of tried to slap you down a couple times but I think you came back at him
17:55I think you stood your ground
17:56You handled your own
17:58I always say you try to channel a little bit of Loneal in your program
18:03So that's all good
18:04It's not a problem
18:05But yeah so keep doing what you're doing
18:07Listen this whole process discussion
18:10Will I'll kind of agree with you
18:12I think process matters more in a developing team
18:15Where you're trying to get to a certain point
18:17You're trying to teach technique
18:18Make sure you follow the process to get to success
18:21I think results matter more in a team like the Niners
18:24Where you've already proven that the process works
18:27And what you need is results
18:28I mean look at Kansas City
18:29You could say that they're not playing great right now but they're fine at all
18:33What would you rather have?
18:34Would you rather follow the process or would you rather have the results?
18:37I would rather have the results
18:38I would rather have the process
18:39And then the final thing I wanted to say
18:40I wanted to get your opinion really
18:42Dibley's opinion and yours
18:43My commanders man
18:44I mean right now
18:45They're following the process
18:46It's only four games
18:48Four or five games
18:49But they're looking pretty good right now
18:50So I would say for a team like the commanders
18:52The process is really more important
18:54As they're developing
18:55But for the Niners man
18:56They gotta go out and get wins man
18:58That's kind of my input
18:59I want to hear what you guys have to say
19:01Austin thanks
19:02It's a great call
19:03Yeah your commanders
19:04I'm very high on
19:06Very very high on
19:08And I remember saying at the beginning of the year
19:10I thought they were still a year away
19:12But I loved their process
19:13I loved what they were doing
19:14And they may be ahead of schedule
19:16And I think it is already realistic
19:18To start thinking about them as possibly a playoff team
19:21And possibly even winning that division
19:23Because I'm not huge on the Cowboys and Eagles
19:25They are not far ahead of the commanders
19:27If at all
19:28So I'd say that
19:30As far as the process results conversation though
19:33I don't know what you think Dibs in the end
19:35This is sort of a
19:39It's sort of a kind of an eclectic
19:41Sort of a conversation
19:43The idea is that a good process
19:45Leads to good results
19:47So they are hand in hand
19:49And when they don't
19:50You sort of have to trust
19:52That over the long haul they will
19:54It's kind of how a casino is built
19:56A casino knows that you might come in for an hour
19:59And kick their butt
20:00But you ain't gonna kick their butt for a year
20:02Their process works
20:04They don't care about their result
20:06In week one and week two
20:08It's tried and true though
20:09Exactly
20:10Their process is built to where they have a 52% edge
20:13On every time the card is turned over
20:15No doubt
20:16But if you ask for instance
20:17Would you rather the Chiefs
20:18So they don't look good
20:20But they're 5-0
20:21And let's say
20:22I don't think the Niners do look that good
20:23But let's say the Niners looked great
20:25But were 2-3
20:26What would you rather be?
20:27Well obviously 5-0
20:29Unless my thought was
20:31House of cards
20:32Here's the example
20:33I'll give you there
20:34It'll be a better example
20:35Yeah, Philadelphia Eagles
20:36Last year
20:37No doubt
20:38Would you rather be 10-1
20:39Or would you rather be 8-3?
20:41Well in that moment
20:42And I said it
20:43You did
20:44I'd rather be 8-3
20:45Because I know that the team I'm rooting for is good
20:47And that team I can tell
20:49They are not
20:50And they're going to fall apart
20:52And they did
20:53So the process
20:55You hope over the longer haul
20:57The longer it goes
20:58It's gonna play out
20:59And then lead to the results
21:01If it doesn't
21:02Then what matters more?
21:04Obviously the results
21:05It's a results-based business
21:06Maybe the process
21:07That you had all this faith in
21:09Wasn't a good and true process
21:11Maybe
21:12Maybe it's a defensive front
21:13That's not good enough
21:14Maybe it's a defensive coordinator
21:16Who is not ready for prime time
21:18Maybe it's a quarterback
21:20Who has chosen to scramble too much
21:22Maybe it's an injured roster
21:24Maybe it's a couple of holdouts
21:25Who didn't come in ready
21:27Maybe it's a head coach
21:28Who doesn't have a full command
21:30Of his staff or the team
21:31But that can adjust
21:32But maybe your process
21:33That you're putting all your faith in
21:35Is a flawed process
21:36My response to that is
21:38And I think it's what Greg was saying
21:40Is this process that the Niners are using right now
21:42Is the same process they've always used
21:44But it doesn't matter the process
21:45If the players aren't good enough
21:47To execute the process
21:49Of course
21:50But again
21:51Because the process is
21:52Same offense
21:53And similar defense
21:54And the rest of it
21:55And if someone's not good
21:56They'll get replaced
21:57And you will try to find someone
21:59Who is good enough
22:00And again
22:01I think the track record
22:02That's where this matters
22:04The track record is there
22:06That the Niners will be aggressive
22:07At the deadline
22:08And that the 49ers will be better
22:10In the second half of the year
22:11Than the first
22:12I like the second part of that
22:13I mean aggressive at the deadline
22:14If you're looking at
22:15What they're going to do
22:16Like last year
22:17They brought in Chase Young
22:18Chase Young
22:19Okay
22:20And how much did that
22:21Appreciably help your defense?
22:22Not great
22:23Maybe a little bit
22:24It wasn't perfect
22:25Christian McCaffrey
22:26Well yeah
22:27There was an upgrade
22:28That really helped your team
22:29If you look at
22:30And we still have a full month
22:31Until the deadline
22:32I think it's November 2nd
22:33Yep
22:34So we've got
22:35Four more weeks of football
22:36And you want to talk about
22:37What they need to do
22:38To improve this team
22:39It's not just one thing
22:40So then it becomes
22:41A little bit more difficult
22:42At the deadline
22:43To improve your team
22:44And really improve your process
