00:00So check this out
00:02Nick Bosa was like it's hard to look my teammates in the eye because basically saying I'm a leader and
00:08And and then here's the product which means bad things for my leadership abilities
00:14that idea was thrown at
00:17George Kittle and
00:19Whether or not he sort of feels the the same way. Here's what he said
00:24I've reflected too much because we played yesterday
00:26But I will say that pretty sure we had like I have no idea what the number is
00:30But I felt like we had 20 turnovers and then didn't get any turnovers
00:33And so when you're turn over the ball over that much and you're not scoring in the red zone
00:36You're not getting turnovers. It's hard to win football games. And that's just as what I know as an offense
00:41We move the hell out of football all year
00:42I know where I feel like besides like two weeks were like top five
00:45Every single week the move the ball really well, but we couldn't score we turn the ball over all the time
00:49So it's hard to win football games like that and you look back and reflect I can look all my teammates in the face
00:54I put my all out there and I a lot of the guys in this locker room, you know
00:57They put everything that they put they're all out there as well
00:59So, you know, I have no shame in that and you know, you can go check the tape, you know
01:04And if you're okay with your resume, which is on the tape, then you should be okay with your season
01:07So George feels good about what he did and oh by the way, he should he should he was the best 49er this year
01:14To me, that's your MVP was was George Kittle this year now
01:19I don't think George. I know we do we'd love to do this. Ooh, he's sending a message. He's taking a veiled shot
01:26I don't think he's doing any of that. However, I do think that we can take something from what he said
01:33He's I know as an offense. We moved the ball all over the field and oh, by the way
01:39We turned it over too much, but we didn't get any turnovers
01:43Again, there's the veiled shot without it being a veiled shot
01:47You're seeing the
01:49reality the reality is is that this defense was horrible it was
01:57Horrible, you can have whatever reason you want. Does Nick Sorensen deserve to be back?
02:02Is it a personnel thing we can go from Devon Drake Campbell Leonard Floyd?
02:07Charverius Ward we can do whatever we want and I think you can come up with a lot of different valid reasons
02:14But the bottom line is is when a football team goes south we often pick a side and
02:21Kind of go. Well, that's the problem. You mentioned earlier what the Bengals do today. Would they fire?
02:26Yeah, the coordinator on which side of the ball that would be the defense on the defense
02:31the offensive line coach
02:33Which yeah because Joe Burrow run for his life is 58 million dollars and they'd like him to stay upright
02:39Yeah, and I won money on the on Saturday because I bet on the Steelers over the sack total and I won
02:44Which was what six and a half. I was actually two and a half. That's a bunny
02:49Like yeah, I'm George Kittle makes a good point about the defense because I mentioned this in our show thread earlier
02:54The 49ers had since the by two takeaways. They had one against Seattle. They had one against Chicago to
03:02Takeaways but the offense George turned the ball over in nine straight games
03:07So the team since the by was a minus 14 16 turns to takeaways
03:14So terrible and I mentioned this in the thread they had 10 games where they were negative in the turnover differential
03:21They won one of them and that was the Tampa game where they turned it over once
03:25They didn't get one back if you're a minus one with only one turnover you can survive that but yesterday
03:31Minus three Detroit minus two
03:34Buffalo minus three Green Bay minus three. These are losses
03:37Yeah, this is by the way, this is not to get some sort of get-out-of-jail-free card to the offensive side of the football
03:43I'm not saying that nobody needs to get better Brock Purdy, especially in the fourth quarter and especially when behind
03:50Did not do well this year and that absolutely needs to change
03:55My point is this
03:57We are going to spend 80% of the offseason talking about the offense when it's 20% of the problem
04:05That's my opinion. Do they need to get better? Yes
04:08Do they need wholesale changes at key positions if you want to call offensive line key positions knock yourself out
04:16I'll agree with that, but nobody talks about those people most 49er fans couldn't even name the starting five
04:22But they need to rework the offensive line
04:24but this whole concept of we're talking about the quarterback and
04:28Debo and Christian McCaffrey to me not the problem
04:32It just isn't like I absolutely think this offense just simply needs to get some new personnel on the offensive line and get healthy
04:40And and and and yes
04:42Kyle can come up with some new approaches and some and some new wrinkles and they can come back next year and be good
04:50I do not feel that way about the other two pieces of the 49ers. They need wholesale
04:57Personnel and probably coaching changes on the defensive side and on special teams. They were awful
05:02No, I don't I mean special teams is not gonna be
05:06Wholesale personnel changes. It's just gonna be who you have on your roster. You're gonna have those guys new kicker
05:12Well, yeah, maybe and maybe a new punter
05:14I don't know what wish now skis contract status is. No, you know when they brought in was it O'Donnell or O'Connell?
05:20You know whoever he was he did better, but their coverage was not good and you're gonna bring in competition for the kicker
05:27That's fine. You're not gonna cut Jake Moody now
05:30You have no reason to cut him you bring in competition and you see what you have
05:35But I do think you need a new coordinator and what you really need and this falls on Kyle's plate is you need a greater
05:42Access you need a greater I guess emphasis is a better way to put it on special teams because this team does not
05:50Accentuate they do not emphasize special teams and as a result your special teams are generally not very good
05:56And this is something where when you have a dominant defense and a dominant offense
06:01It doesn't really matter about your special teams
06:03But when you're living in the margins like this team was you need better special teams and defensively you need better personnel
06:10Yes, but you need a new approach because what you've done this year. It doesn't work
