00:00But this we've given you some 49er news, let's I'll update it and then add one more man beauty to the list
00:09Trent Williams
00:11didn't practice today, he's on a knee scooter and
00:15Reports are that he's in pain when he walks
00:19So we'll see about him Sunday Nick Bosa. We got to find out about Bosa rock Purdy did light work today
00:27We'll see about him Sunday, obviously, there's no Brandon Iuke
00:32Diamand or Lenore did not practice today. He's got a knee issue. He banged knees
00:37on in Sunday's game, but here's the one that we're gonna talk about
00:43This one just came out
00:46Linebacker Fred Warner told the media today. He's been playing through a fractured ankle
00:55Fred Warner told the media today that he's playing through a fractured ankle Wow, and I
01:03Understanding it was against the Patriots week for week for I'm not sure if that was the pass or not
01:08It's week 13 week for and I study I said what if he's out there on one wheel, you know
01:14Cuz I didn't know the severity or the extent of the injury, but is it fair again?
01:19we talked a low and we're talking about Tord all shots and
01:23You know Evan brought up that you know
01:25I don't think it's you can do it every week or they'll allow you and they be in the team
01:30Looking out for your best interest. I haven't played in the NFL, but Stanley I guess I got has it been worth it
01:37For him to go out and I'm no doctor, but am I am I am I wrong for questioning?
01:42I mean could he damage it worse?
01:44Is it just remember how you talked about they won't let you do that earlier when we were talking about injuries
01:50I'm not looking at the team differently. If the guy says he wants to go out there and play but Stani
01:56This is the epitome the definition of playing on one wheel and now you question
02:03As he put himself in jeopardy moving forward when he gets it taken care of. Is that a valid thought?
02:10What to look at the
02:11organization to allow him to go out there and play on a fractured ankle and
02:16The result that you got your bang for your buck he hasn't been the same
02:22So I'm question is has it even been worth it especially now that you're five and six I mean
02:29Has it been worth it, I don't know I mean
02:33It sounds like he's still gonna play on Sunday. I mean, I don't know if he's on the injury report
02:38I mean, he hasn't even been on the injury report. I don't think has he
02:42So I wonder if the team's like damn Fred you didn't have to tell him well
02:47Actually, that's that's what first came to my mind real quick. Yeah the quote from Fred
02:53Yeah, anytime you fracture a bone if you just continue to play on it
02:57The bone is usually not going to be able to heal itself
02:59So just got to continue to fight through and he's been taking painkillers every week
03:04There you have it Wow
03:06What did ever call him a true gladiator?
03:09That's what I was asking low, can you so he's taking a shot is the tortoise shot the pain shot
03:15Every week to get out here and your defense is still imagined
03:19You know study. I knew he was compromising a lot. We all and it was it was valid. Hey friend, but man
03:27This dude's out here on a fractured ankle
03:30Yeah, you know what was the first thing that came to my mind is
03:34and this is where I kind of just go back to being a
03:37Reporter so the media is talking to Fred Warner and it's week 13
03:44they've played 11 games and
03:47Now he acknowledges he's been playing with a fractured ankle
03:52You know, but I'm just gonna tell you what my first thought I already know where you're going. They know they know it's over now
03:58Like the team I think it's like they kind of know it's over
04:02Why would like why would and I'm not saying he's making excuses
04:06But why would Fred Warner disclose that now because I think it's people are wondering
04:12Stony hey Fred you haven't been yourself and it's good
04:16It's it's so glaring now because he's so great that I felt like study. He had to play
04:21He felt like he had to play that card. Yeah, it just reminds me of a movie called the dead zone with Christopher Walken
04:27I haven't seen that one great movie dad's
04:30I love me some Christopher Walken and there's a scene in the movie where there's a killer on the loose and
04:37The killer turns out to be this woman's son. Okay, and
04:41Christopher Walken can he's prescient he can he can tell the future and he can read minds and all that kind of stuff and
04:49he's talking to the mother and
04:51He could feel those things whenever he touched the person. All right, so
04:55He touched this woman like they
04:57Pushed her off or something and he grabbed hers. He grabbed her arm and and he said you knew
05:05You know
05:06meaning about her son, okay being a killer and
05:11It's like that. I feel the same way a little more less dramatic
05:14But I feel the same way about the 49ers right now. They know like they know they know
05:19Well, it's not happening for him this year
05:23And they don't know if Fred's still going out there I just like today tell me why he said it now
05:29Again, I firmly believe because there have been some whispers. Okay of a Fred you haven't been yourself and now he's like
05:36You know what? I have to I've created my own standard. It's his prerogative his life his body and study
05:42I feel like you know what?
05:43Because it's kind of weird that we wouldn't have known this right when it happened or the week after and now I'm wondering
05:50Organization is like damn it Fred. Yeah out of this now. We're gonna look bad for allowing you to go out there
05:59I'm not calling anybody soft. I can't but if Warner can take
06:04This shot whatever the shot is with a fractured ankle
06:09Trent Williams, you can't take that same shot. You don't want it as much as Fred like am I a fool for yes
06:16Yes, I think you are I think that's honest to God I think that's where you we get into stuff that we have no idea about
06:23none
06:24Like zero I do I do question like okay, if you say well, he's here and whispers
06:31okay, so I
06:34Mean is there's you're calling out injured teammates
06:38If I'm out here on a broken
06:41ankle and you you got knickknacks
06:45Like you don't find that valid
06:48What I find
06:50A lot of guys, okay
06:52what I find interesting is that Fred Warner the team's five and six and
06:56He's been hurt since week four and things are going downhill, and he's not having a great year and now he's saying well
07:01I'm playing with a fractured ankle
07:03Still playing a lot of guys aren't okay
07:07He could be talking to Trent and again like has he like
07:12How does the team look bad, that's what I don't understand. This is again. It's football like
07:17How does the team look bad?
07:19Well, I was Fred Warner wants to play through an injury
07:22Well, you just gave me a scenario early to where the team will save the player from itself
07:26Well, he said he couldn't get hurt anymore. It's just it won't heal, but I didn't wonder
07:30Oh good eight eight eight nine five seven nine five seven zero is the number
07:35That's the latest piece of news coming out of 49ers
07:39Practice today Fred Warner said he's been playing on a fractured ankle, so you don't again
07:44We're just having a discussion to me. It's not to me calling out everybody
07:48I got these little knickknacks like I'm out here on a fractured ankle guys, right?
07:52I think he's created an excuse for a bad season not for him
07:56But for the team and they kind of any knows it like they're five and six now. They're going to Buffalo
08:02They've got all kinds of guys banged up
08:05You know, what what have we said all year the big big boys are underachieving big boys are underachieving
08:10Well, he raises his hand and say well, I'm not really underachieving. I'm playing hurt. Yeah, okay, that's fair
08:14And that's a reason but I'm taking a shot too. Why now?
08:21Why now let's just say you're wrong, let's just say you're not right
08:25Study, I believe the why now is telling everybody. It's got these little nicks. That's very convenient
08:31Take a shot in your shoulder get out here, man. We're running out of time. It could be that
08:38McCaffrey's come back
08:40I'm just saying for Fred the timing of it Stiney. I'm starting to wonder Fred the timing is like dude
08:47We're not very good. No, I need a reason or we're running out of time and you guys are up here playing
08:52It's not an excuse
08:54but it's a reason and
08:56He's saying into the media if you guys don't think I played well since week four
09:01I do have a reason not an excuse a reason I'm playing on a fractured ankle
09:08Well now we're five and six
09:11so it tells me that I don't believe I
09:16I don't believe this team believes anymore. I really don't and you could be right this year
09:23Under Fred is starting to feel maybe Fred believes but he's looking around like and in the
09:28Real quick here. It's not either far away guru. You can't call out Trent. I'm not calling out you did. No, I'm not
09:34I'm wondering if I if you miss work our job here and you got a headache and
09:39You miss work and I got the same headache. I come to work. You would probably feel something like damn goo
09:44I I dealt with it. You can't come to work
09:47I'm just wondering why he would come out now and say and you guys are five and six and now he's starting to feel a
09:55little heat because
09:57People are asking why he hasn't been good the second half of the season that could be rather and rather than have to take it
10:04Okay, and not give the give his reason right? He's saying
10:08Guys, there's a reason why I haven't been playing up to my standards now. I'm playing on a broken ankle. I love
10:15Guess what? You guys aren't going anywhere. Do you have any is there any part of your being that thinks you know what goo?
10:21Cuz it's daddy you could be 100% right
10:23But what if you could be hunt 100% wrong and I could be right in the Lord to him saying hey guys
10:29I know everybody's banged up. I'm playing and now the public knows I'm playing with a broken or fractured
10:36Ankle, you know what? I say man up and get out here. I'm taking a shot
10:39I'll use a guru ism and do it in the locker room
10:42If you're a leader go in the locker room and say I'm playing with a bear
10:46I'm playing with a broke left ankle and I'm still going out there
10:50Everybody in here needs to look at the mirror and see if they can get out there on the field
10:54That's what a leader would maybe would have done
10:59but we both agree the timing is is
11:02It's curious now that this comes out and you believe it's cuz performance based. Yes
11:06I do believe and I think he's sending a message to guys that uh, you know got a little nick, you know
11:11They're so they're hurt. Don't get me wrong, but he's saying my foot is my ankles broken and
11:17I'm shooting it up going out here. Given what I can
11:20Okay, well then then come out and say Fred Warner's tougher than everybody else. That might be the case
11:26But what I'm saying is his intent my point is is it guys that are nursing injuries that aren't playing?
11:32This is getting long then have that conversation in the locker room or maybe this is his version of that
11:39By letting people know I'm playing with a bro
11:41Your whole thing is to keep stuff behind closed doors like Debo should have done was not behind closed doors
11:46It's not a puzzle. These are two different subject matters, right?
11:50This guy goes public instead of calling out his teammates the dynamic. I'm telling you right now
11:56I'm telling you right now if he if his intent was to call out guys not playing through injuries
12:00Then he did do it the wrong way. I guess what he did was bring all the attention to himself
12:05But I don't I don't necessarily think that's what he was doing. I think what he's doing is saying
12:10Exactly the case. It's like he had it. He finally had to say well, maybe one of the reasons I'm not playing
12:16Well, it's because I'm playing on a fractured ankle, but now knowing the NFL I
12:21just think
12:23He didn't do himself any favors by saying that and I do think
12:27And the the connection doesn't go from a right to be right, right
12:31I do think it's just another sign that I don't think they think they can do it and I really don't
12:36Why would you bring it up now?
12:38Real quick. You're listening to 95 7 the game KGM ZFM and HD 1, San Francisco
12:44Always live on the free Odyssey app twitching you to power by first NorCal Craig
12:47This is why I love what we do and I love sports sports man study
12:51I believe just to me hearing this news since Evan broke it
12:55I believe this is another example for the people in the back that felt like you know, what they're not connected
13:02This to me makes me feel like they're not connected because I feel like Fred Warner
13:07He his his resume is immaculate. He doesn't need to apologize for anything, but he knows what time it is
13:13He hadn't been having the best year, but I feel like you know
13:16What we got three or four dudes that might not play they got stuff going on
13:21I got stuff going on and you know what?
13:24I'm gonna let the media and the fans know how serious my stuff is going on
13:28But I'm out there every week taking a shot
13:30He might be doing that and he could I'm not crazy about the way he did it
13:33No doubt if that's if that's what his message was
13:37Then got you then it's a double standard that he can go out there
13:41But I like I don't I don't look that far into it. I look at a guy who
13:47starting to see the writing on the wall for this team and
13:51It's coincided with the fact that people are now questioning the second half of the season that he's had
13:56yeah, and he just told him the truth, but one of the reasons I think he told him the truth is because
14:03They know deep down
14:05They may not have a run on them, but real quick
14:08Don't you usually get this info once the season's over the guy says hey look guys
14:12I was playing you know, it's never with six weeks to go
14:16Oh
14:17Well, then ask yourself why why now I really firmly believe
14:22He's trying to send a message to the other guys even if it's the wrong way to do it
14:25Then I'm out here man and almost like Brock if you can shoot that shoulder up shoot it up a Trent
14:31You did it one week. I'm doing it every week. Can you do it again for it?
14:36I'll be stronger than if Fred Warner is really
14:39Telling people he's playing on a broken ankle to send a message to his team that he believes
14:45That some players aren't giving it right a hundred percent. They're done
14:51And then very well could be done whether Fred Warner has a broken ankle and Trent Williams has a bad toe
14:56They're done, and you know what anybody listening to this show or reading this report
15:02Stoddy this could have been the nail in the coffin
15:04It doesn't supersede the players going out there to you know to get a chance to win, but you could be right
15:10Let's go to Fozzie in East in the East Bay
15:13Fozzie in the East Bay wants to talk about Fred
15:18You know what's going on boys, thanks for taking my call
15:21Yeah, I don't I don't think that was Fred's intent at all by letting this news come out
15:25I don't think he's taking any shots at his own guys by saying he's out there on one leg
15:30I just don't think that's the kind of character he has but for me when I first heard the news
15:36It's basically as a fan for me is just saying that you know what it's time to mail it in look forward to next year
15:43I mean
15:44We don't want anybody else getting hurt, but just to hear the fact that Fred is out there really on one leg
15:50It means a lot to me as a fan, but this year just ain't our year
15:55riddled with injuries
15:57Rock shoulder, I mean, I don't want him to get hurt anymore and
16:01Even before that you know he was playing at an all-pro level and
16:05Right around week four is when he started looking different, and you know what I?
16:10Put my cap off to him, and you know I hope he gets better
16:13But as a fan time to look forward to next season cheers boys appreciate the call fuzz
16:17I should have jumped in sounding ass Fozzie
16:20What if he doesn't get that and they continue to lose, but Fred keeps going out there?
16:26Then that's his choice
16:29well, but I
16:32Mean I anyway you cut it. It's not it's not great great news
16:36And you know what if if Fred Warner
16:40You know we talk about these shots, and that's right, but go ahead ran down all the side effects. Yeah, it's like gosh
16:46Just because I'm not going to take a shot doesn't mean I'm soft
16:50If I don't want to if I don't want all kinds of problems in my life at 50 years old
16:55But Fred is not working to do that week to week and he said yeah apparently
17:00Let's go to Josh and Vallejo. What's up, Josh? How you doing?
17:03Happy holidays, I just wanted to say that I was thankful for having such high-character athletes in the Bay Area
17:11All right, you know players like curry and Fred Warner and you know Brock pretty even though. It's so young, but
17:19I'm just thankful for that and you know kind of gives a direction for people even if it's that's not as intended
17:26It does give direction for people
17:28To want to try harder or play harder or play to injuries because it's the sport that they love
17:35but
17:36Thank you guys for taking my call. Yes, sir Josh appreciate the call. Yeah, I want to make it clear
17:40I'm not saying there's any malice involved, but I think what happened is they're not playing well. They're five and six
17:49They know they're in trouble they doubt and they have a copy of the game
17:54They know they're in trouble they doubt and they have a car I think they have a confidence issue and
18:01Fred Warner's being asked why he's not playing to the same standard, and he told the truth and said I'm playing through a fractured ankle I
18:08just I just am and
18:11but to me I
18:13Take it as a sign that they kind of know
18:17They kind of know and now we can watch the next four or five games if Fred Warner plays and
18:23say boy, he's out there on a bad ankle and
18:26That's I mean look the bottom line is
18:30Now the 49ers have all the excuses in the world for why they're five and six
18:34And I'm not being a jerk about it. They do
18:37McCaffrey they lost IU
18:39Purdy's now hurt Bosa's hurt Trent Williams is hurt Fred Williams our Fred Warner's out there, but he's playing on a bad ankle
18:46Steve's done well
18:49To that matter C max out there on you know two two shoddy knees I
18:54Hope not. I mean, I hope he's healthy
18:57Let's go to let's go to Ronnie in Tracy. What's going on Ronnie? How you doing?
19:03Hey, what's up, good question you know what all these injuries happening and
19:09somewhat uncertainty with Brock
19:12What is your thought on trying to extend them
19:16Now opposed to an offseason. I think they have to wait till the offseason
19:21I think they have to wait till the offseason, but thanks Ronnie for the call. I appreciate it I
19:27Mean and whether you like it or not all this stuff affects Purdy say Fred Warner shuts it down now you end up seven and ten
19:36How's that blank check for Brock Purdy looking? Yeah?
19:42Well well why would Brock Purdy's contract be impacted by Fred Warner's injury well because
19:49Are you really gonna get are you really gonna?
19:53Set a new market with Brock Purdy
19:57Who's quarterback the seven and ten team this year well if you judge a quarterback based on his win-loss record then yes
20:05Well, but also, I don't really gonna
20:07Blame Brock Purdy for a ten season no, I'm not gonna blame him
20:11I'm not gonna blame him, but he like every other player on this roster hasn't had a great season and I
20:20don't know about you, but I
20:23Mean maybe I'm wrong they go seven and ten and Purdy finishes out the year like he's played the first
20:28Let's say he doesn't play against Buffalo, but comes back and is the same guy and he ends up with the numbers. He's ended up with
20:35He's not resetting the market. I don't think if they finish seven and ten his career record is 24 and 14
20:41All right, so you're saying?
20:43I'm saying if you want to judge it based off just wins and losses no not just off wins and losses
20:48Not just off wins and losses. We've watched him play this year, but I told you a couple days ago
20:53I'm just telling you I would if I think they already know what they're paying them like that
20:58I'll just say it right now because I'm not afraid to say if they made a big mistake with IU all right all right
21:03if this team
21:05Plays out the season like like it's playing out, and they don't make the playoffs and they go seven and ten
21:11I got you and Purdy has four or five remaining games
21:15Like he's played the rest of the regular season which means he's had an average year. I'm not giving him 60
21:21I just can't well Laura. What if he don't come back? What do you mean?
21:24What if he don't finish the season what have we seen the last that's even a bigger complication?
21:29No I and I hope I'm not making it sound like because Warners hurt
21:34I'm not paying Purdy because I've used this example a lot about well. They're now five and six and
21:41What happens if the year just goes like this well?
21:44He has to and I would just say that I don't speak for Evan
21:46He's got two years where he's taking you to the NFC championship game in a Super Bowl, okay?
21:51Let's just say the most loaded roster in the league, but okay
21:55But where do we draw the line the bottom line is the the end result so to me does this one season if it does?
22:01Finish seven and ten
22:03Supersede or cancel out the two seasons where he showed you well
22:05It doesn't cancel it out, but you got to weigh it in you have to weigh the decision
22:10They're going to make right let me just ask him 49er fans if this team goes eight nine
22:14It doesn't make the playoffs and Brock Purdy the first ten games of the year
22:19Put in the last five games of the year. He plays the the the year like he played the first ten
22:24Which is middle of the road, maybe a little better than middle of the road, whatever you still just gonna rip them off 60 I mean
22:32if I might be the only one that's saying no I wouldn't but I wouldn't and
22:38I'm not
22:40That's just me like I'm and I but I'm way different on this kind of stuff when it comes to the market
22:47Like okay Trevor Lawrence
22:49Because they're paying him 55 we got to pay a guy 55 man. I'm out on that
