Transcript

00:00 some news that Kyle Shanahan shared today. Sounds like the Niners are going to or are

00:05 considering signing Jason Fred to the practice squad this weekend, which is interesting.

00:11 He was on the Houston Texans practice squad. D'Amico Ryan's worked with them. And now I

00:15 guess he's not. He's going to come to the, it seems to me that he's not quite ready.

00:18 He tore his Achilles last year. He tore the, his ACL the year before that. I think he's

00:22 torn his Achilles twice. I think he tore his ACL twice. He needs some, it seems like he

00:25 probably needs some more time, but maybe the Niners feel like, Hey, get him on our practice

00:31 squad. Now, maybe he'll be someone we can use in the playoffs. Whereas maybe the Texans

00:37 are thinking, you know, we can't necessarily guarantee that we're going to be in the playoffs

00:42 this year. And maybe Jason, I don't know, but maybe the Niners are interested because

00:48 they talked to D'Amico Ryan's and he called him and D'Amico said, look, I think it's,

00:53 this is a chance and maybe he'd be a better fit for you guys since you guys are a little

00:59 bit more established and you need a cornerback big time.

01:06 So I don't know. I'm looking at this as something that could possibly pay off in the playoffs,

01:13 but most likely not at all. Maybe they bring back Jason Brett next year. Maybe this is

01:18 all just lead up to next year. It does kind of seem like his body might be done, but I

01:23 don't know. It's an interesting idea. I think what would be before they do that, they really

01:29 have to give Samuel Womack and Darrell Luter Jr. Looks at cornerback or see if Embry Thomas

01:34 can keep it up.

01:35 They gave Isaiah Oliver a half season audition. He failed enough. The reviews are in and they're

01:41 not good. Embry, I think you deserve another game. Although this week's going to be really,

01:47 really, really tough for you. Jason Verrett is nice. I mean, but it's like if you're going

01:53 to bring in Jason Verrett for a workout, you might as well bring in Richard Sherman too.

02:00 Might as well, but good luck to Jason Verrett. My best guess is that they do sign him this

02:05 weekend and he never plays it down for them ever again. But if he does and he steps up

02:10 in the playoffs, God love him. Shane says as a faithful, this is why I have little faith.

02:16 This guy will win the Superbowl. He's an arrogant jerk who won't get out of his way. His tragic

02:20 flaw grant great and fair question. We were all wondering. I don't root for the 49ers.

02:28 I'm not betting on him to win the Superbowl. I didn't take it personally what he did today.

02:32 I quite enjoy ruffling his feathers with fair questions and I had a feeling I would with

02:38 that one. I didn't mean to like question. I mean, I felt like what does he have to do

02:44 to earn your trust? Like isn't it implied? Average of 5.6 yards per carry, but you won't

02:50 play him. There must be a trust issue, right? You don't trust him to block. You don't trust

02:53 him to execute his non rushing assignments. What other reason could there be to not play

03:03 a running back averaging 5.6 yards per carry? There must be some level of not, you know,

03:07 you don't trust him like you trust Mitchell. Okay. Because Mitchell's got some good things

03:11 here.
