00:00Kyle talks on Mondays. There's the injury update on everything and perspective on what happened the day before
00:06Here's Kyle Shanahan with his Monday conference
00:09All right guys on injuries from the game
00:11Been barge and of having a high ankle sprain most likely will go on IR later this week
00:16Isaac Rendo foot sprain will evaluate him over next few days. See if he's got a shot
00:23D winners ankle day today and Malik Mustafa chest shoulder. He's day-to-day also
00:30That's it. I'll is the plan still to have Drake green law be able to play on Thursday night
00:36There's a chance to we'll see, you know, I haven't talked to him yet
00:39so we'll see when he gets in there and here tomorrow how he's feeling how practice goes Tuesday and Wednesday and
00:46Make our decision then
00:48How do you have updates on Nick both that Trent Williams the other guys? Yeah, Nick Bosa still in the same situation
00:54We'll evaluate him as this week goes trend. No different. Aaron Banks cleared the protocol. So he should be good to go and
01:01Flanagan fouls. He's also still day-to-day with his knee
01:04After looking at the film, how did you feel telling us on the dead out there with Malik Mustafa?
01:09I thought he did a real good job love to have enough back
01:12Even the first play the game for him to get in on that tackle his communication everything just helping the defense get lined up and stuff
01:18Is I'm extremely good and it's a real good first game for him Kyle
01:23What would end that decision how difficult was it to go with Malik as a starter over Jair Brown?
01:29Just how Malik's been playing, you know, I think he's been playing at a higher level
01:33He's been one of the better players on our defense. I think here over the last month or so
01:37So it's nothing against tag. We still want to be out there
01:39But when we had to make a decision we we kept myself out there
01:43you feel like tell your Brown's production on the field and play on the field is
01:48Maybe I mean and he played really well last year. Is it up to that standard or is that a little bit less?
01:55No, I think it's same as last year. I think to explain like good starting safety, you know, we just
02:01you know better a guy there and it's not some big things when he's been healthy as everyone knows with Huff and
02:06I've had a great week of practice and we want to get him on the field and we had to choose one guy to come
02:11off so
02:12If I'm gonna stop that earn that, you know over those play the last month to stay out there and
02:17Good with our decision Kyle. Obviously Brock is fine. I mean he talked about that kind of strange hit
02:23He took at the end of the game. He went back in. There's no problem with him at all
02:26Yeah, no problem at all. I mean, you know, you talk that way, you know play after it
02:31he seemed fine, but you never know till the next day and
02:34But trainers talking to myself. He felt good and no lingering issues from that play
02:39The dealer Williams quite a bit what did you see from the defensive line in their production seem like they were forming pretty well
02:47Yeah, I mean, I just loved how they rushed as a group gave him very few exit windows
02:51you know, I thought we had really good coverage which made him take took away the number one most of the time number two a
02:57lot of the time and
02:59Whenever he had to get to the number three our D line was there
03:01So I just think collectively and individually they they had a really good game
03:05Well, it seems that I think I might have it I'd be forced to start obviously didn't necessarily be him
03:11I'm sure that in a starting role, but you know how this goes
03:14What attracted you guys to him and in the offseason and led you to acquire him?
03:18We look for guys who have the ability to make your team and in order to have the ability to make your team
03:23you got to have the running skills that we like to where we feel if your opportunity ever comes that
03:27You're gonna be a tough runner if it's to write holes and fight three yards
03:30And also if you can't make one of those top two positions how well you can help on special teams
03:35So he had done both of those things in his career Green Bay and he's been doing them for us
03:39Since he got here and you know if I can't go it'll be his opportunity
03:42And I think as you guys saw him run yesterday or as we did earlier in the year over Seattle
03:47He's solid good back Isaac after the game didn't have a boot on it
03:51He like if any was putting his shoes on like there was no problem
03:54But sometimes I guess the next morning is more difficult that he's was it was is he like 50 50 think or do you have?
04:00Any idea for Thursday? All right, I'm at my ideas. I have is what I told you guys
04:04I mean, he's got an ankle sprain and definitely couldn't go today, you know, so we'll see if he can go on Thursday
04:10But definitely can't go today. It's a quick turnaround. So we got to evaluate him hard each day
04:14I'll be surprised if he does much tomorrow, but hopefully Thursday will be enough time for and Kyle with that
04:19Which one Jennings what strikes you most about his progression at split end?
04:23And what have been some of the coaching points that go into that?
04:27I mean just lining up in some different spots and you know, he still says it's different verbiage and everything, you know
04:33he's listened to certain words and stuff that tell him to do things and where to line up and everything for his whole time here and
04:39Then when you move to a position he hasn't ever played before it's just completely different verbiage and stuff on how to get him
04:44Line up some of those spots in the field. He's at but um, you know, John just doesn't like he does everything
04:50I mean drawing goes as hard as he can and every single situation doesn't matter whether it's a
04:55The balls in his hands he's running around or he's blocking
04:59Doesn't matter whether it's a deep throwing underneath throw in practice or in games
05:03John is always just going 100 miles an hour and playing as physical as he can and it's a
05:08Compacted time frame if you already put the Bears game to bed with the players that they seen everything and you've gone over it with
05:14Them. No, we don't have we don't ever address that on a Thursday night game players do all rehab and stuff today
05:20The coaches come in and we put it to bed as coaches to correct our mistakes and everything
05:24But we do it a lot faster than we normally do because right now it's in our mind
05:28It's you know, it's already Tuesday afternoon as coaches and in a few hours
05:32It's got to be Wednesday afternoon because you got to get into the third towns and nickel and everything and you know
05:37So we have everything ready for the guys tomorrow
05:39It's kind of a crammed week and kind of gotten used to it over the years on these Thursday night games
05:44It's a tough four days, but it can lead to a really fun three days if you handle your business, right?
05:49And last night that it had been some time since you had that players speak at the team meeting on Saturday night
05:55But that you had asked at demo and brought to speak kind of what went into that decision
05:59And why did you think it was important?
06:01I mean just trying to change it up
06:03Sometimes I'll have somebody speak differently and just to switch up the routine a little bit
06:06But I mean I just when you ask guys to speak you want to make sure it's guys that people truly respect
06:11They respect how they play and how they carry themselves and how important are the the job is to them
06:17those are two guys who we got a number of guys like that on our team, but
06:21Those two guys I just know how much our team respects them on and off the field. What was your sense last week?
06:28Watching the new guy a band of candor practice just as far as you know
06:32How quickly he would be able to get into the mix if you needed a third running back. Um, I mean we
06:40He's meeting with the Bobby and everybody extra. He's getting his reps on the field
06:45So, hey, you know we script it all so it comes along out there
06:49But that's more in the meeting room and everything just being able to line up and do everything we ask and you know
06:54There's opportunities getting closer, you know, especially I can have banged up
06:57so you always got to have three guys in the building in case situations like this happen and
07:04Hopefully doesn't have to come to that. But if it does we expect him to be ready
07:15Do it on a 72-hour turnaround when I asked you
07:18I don't think I feel sorry for you or something baby
07:21But I do feel for like a window for a green ball on the other side. I think I'm a cool
07:29Mean I think there's good things and negative things to it. I think that's why the players all kind of like it
07:34It's also when you're you're hurting from the Sunday game
07:38Sometimes that's why guys can't go on the Thursday game where they could go on Sunday
07:42Just kind of depends on how the day went before and how they're going but
07:46I think when you are feeling good and you're able to pull it off
07:49I do think the guys really appreciate the three-day bi-week. You don't get many breaks in this league
07:55You know, and you know with all you only get in one bi-week and one bi-week and 17 weeks isn't enough
08:00So I think sometimes it's crucial to have these Thursday night games because it is great for the mental and for the health
08:07Physically for guys to get away for these three days, but um, it is always such a huge challenge when guys are banged up that
08:14They're just not ready to go on on four days rest where they could be on seven
08:18So it's got a pluses and minuses to it. No, you said
08:23Correctly you said last night this team has filled with good guys and all those guys are your best leaders
08:31But you felt like sometimes that grit or whatever hasn't been there at the end of games
08:36You've been doing this a long time. Can you I mean all teams are different dynamics are different
08:40But can you put your finger on maybe what has been missing or why that has been?
08:45There isn't a one thing to say it comes down to making the plays and getting it done when you are in those situations
08:52And you know, I could say you're not in those situations every single week
08:55You know, we were with versus Tampa Bay and we got it done
08:58So you can say that was a real gritty win and we played with some grit there at the end
09:03But I mean that's just trying to put a word on the situation
09:05It's it's how hard these games are to come by at the end and teams that can pull those off consistently
09:11Usually are the teams that are in the playoffs and when we have been in those situations
09:15We haven't pulled many of them off this year, you know, I always keep going back to those three games we lost
09:19And you know Tampa was opposite
09:21We're able to get that one done
09:22but you usually most teams are going to be in a lot of those games and you got to win more than you lose and
09:28It hadn't been that case for us and we wanted to make sure that coming into this game
09:32we knew our backs were against the wall and we thought it was gonna be an opportunity to come out and
09:36Show that we can do that and finish it no matter what happens
09:39And I think we came out so well at the beginning and we continued that that you know
09:43We were able to get it was able to be a little bit more comfortable there at the end
09:47Which is always more fun, but we were prepared for any type of game and we plan on winning that anyway
09:51It would go. All right guys. Thanks. All right. Thank you Kyle. Yeah, there goes Kyle Shanahan
09:57He's all done for the day and the Isaac Garendo update is interesting
10:02He said obviously he was not ready to go today. He said he'd be surprised if he's ready to go tomorrow
10:09And then after that, it's what can you do on Wednesday to sort of prove your readiness for Thursday?
10:16This thing comes so damn fast. So he also said with regard to a panna conda quote
10:23His opportunity is on its way and so I you know, I don't know exactly what that means
10:29if
10:30if he would be up to speed enough to start in place of Garendo or if he would just tuck into the room behind Patrick
10:36Taylor and Keisha bond, I don't know exactly how this is gonna look
10:40But it's unbelievable what has happened to the 49er backfield this year
10:44I mean people don't even remember the name Eli Mitchell and that happened all the way back preseason McCaffrey
10:51Jordan Mason on down the line Garendo. Don't forget the Garendo remember
10:56I mean we went out to camp he got hurt like five minutes after camp started
11:00Yeah, and missed the majority of camp
11:02So, um, I know it's been a year where people really want to take shots at Kyle Shanahan's play calling
11:09I'd like to bring up something that I haven't heard all year
11:13This is another brick on the wall for the Shanahan run game like
11:17Jordan Mason is still one of the top 15 rushers in the NFL and he's barely played in the last month and a half
11:26So we are again, then you watch what Garendo does yesterday and we are again having another year where again
11:33I'm not saying McCaffrey is replaceable
11:35But you're getting production out of the backfield from him who he how them every single year
11:42It is another one of those years. Yeah, it's gonna be that way for the most part
11:47Because Shanahan loves to run the ball you run it a lot
11:50And when you run the football that much guys are gonna get dinged up guys are gonna get hurt and it's unfortunate
11:56And you know, you look at now and Keyshawn Vaughn and Patrick Taylor
11:59It's next man up about a conda as you have mentioned before maybe he gets into the box score as well
12:07But I'm also concerned about the offensive line whether or not Trent will be back Ben Bartsch likely going on IR
12:14So you're gonna have but Banks is cleared and we'll be back, right?
12:17So these slides right back into the little bit of a shot on the spot and you know
12:21It's been the interior offensive line. That's been a problem for the most part all year long
12:25So, you know boasts is a big one if he can go that changes my outlook a little bit on the game and Trent
12:32I mean, how do you how do you put a timetable on that?
12:35You know, you just can't because it's not only the personal tragedy losing not one but two babies
12:42But also he's got an ankle so not like he's 100% healthy and when his emotions and his feelings get better
12:48He can play he's dealing with injury as well. What a year but at the same time
12:52I also understand where people are coming from
12:55when and I think this is sort of the core of
12:58What of what?
12:59Grandi and Lucas were getting out earlier and talking about boy if you guys had that pitch in your in your holster
13:06Why haven't you been throwing it?
13:07There was one thing that Kyle Shanahan said
13:10That I get why it might shoot something up your spine and 8 at 8 9 5 7 9 5 70 if you want to react
13:17to this, but Kyle said we knew our backs were up against the wall in this one and
13:24I
13:26Totally get it if a fan goes
13:29Dude, you just felt that yesterday, right?
13:33That's the first time you felt like your back was up against the wall I
13:38Don't know and again
13:40Feeling something and thinking something is very different than going out and executing on a football field
13:46But I remember us talking about it. I did not feel like they could lose the game against Seattle
13:54That was not a losable game to me and until I'm proven wrong
13:58I will stick by that because boy would this thing feel different?
14:04Like that game alone that drive by Geno Smith is literally the only thing stopping the Niners from being in first place right now
14:12Think about that
14:13Well that no Graham game and the the Arizona game
14:15but if if Geno Smith if they stop him on that drive
14:19They are seven and six and so are the Seahawks and the Niners have the tiebreaker over them
14:24They would be sitting there at least in a three-way tie
14:27Along with the Rams who I grant you would right now have I guess the breaker over the Niners
14:32But it'd be three-way which changes everything. Yeah, like that. They couldn't do that
14:37They could not do that and they did it and I just I think it's fair to at least
14:42Who knows maybe they did feel that way and they just didn't play well
14:46But if George Kittle's talking about we finally showed urgency if Kyle Shanahan saying what you know
14:52Our backs were up against the wall. I'm sitting here going dude that that was already the case
14:58That was already the case when Seattle visited Levi's Stadium and if in some way
15:03you guys weren't collectively feeling that then that is a
15:08Demerit if you will no doubt at least for that football game to me
15:14Well, it was more than just the defense and I'm remembering the game right now
15:18You had you had to putt and
15:21O'Donnell punts it into the end zone
15:2342 yard punt and a 22 yard net so in a time where you're putting from the 42
15:29Maybe you can down it inside the 5 or
15:31Inside the 10 and you can put Seattle in a tough spot and then it was a lot of the same from Nick Sorenson's defense
15:38Playing milk toast not bringing extra pressure and allowing Seattle to go for
15:4311 5 8 7
15:46Jackson Smith in Jigba is the name that I'm remembering from that drive. It's good player, man
15:51Yeah, he is a really good player and lovely Christie actually who has DK Metcalf on her fantasy team asked me yesterday
15:58Hey, what the hell's going on with DK?
16:00He's always got a cue next to his name and and they don't throw the ball to him. I said, yeah, I think they like this
16:07Jackson Smith and Jigba guy. He's gonna take it over. Yeah, he's he's him
16:13Yeah, yeah
16:14They are a weird team where they're very weird to keep waiting for them to kind of regress to the knees and fall back to
16:20Earth and they just don't other shoe gonna drop right? They've won four games in a row and nobody thinks they're very good
16:27Odd well, who their last three wins were against Arizona, which you know yesterday was the one where you figured it'd be a get-back
16:34game for Arizona and then
16:36Calamari with a terrible interception in the second quarter a couple of them, you know next thing
16:40You know, Seattle's just dominating that game again
16:43Oh part of their four-game win streak was also the win here
16:46and then the other week they played the Jets and by the way, we're down by double digits before rallying back to
16:52to win that football game, but we'll get Seattle gets their comeuppance unless they're real like
16:58They're gonna have the opportunity to prove themselves the next two weeks. They host Green Bay and Minnesota
17:04Let's see what we're talking about after that
17:06And of course none of it matters if the Niners don't play well on Thursday
