00:00We need to talk about this.
00:01We do, yeah.
00:02Are you with goo?
00:04Totally with goo.
00:05Give the kid a chance?
00:06Yeah.
00:07I mean, what has he done so far in the preseason that actually matters?
00:11My answer would be, not a thing.
00:13He missed an extra point.
00:14It's preseason.
00:15But that doesn't matter.
00:16You're a kicker.
00:17It completely matters.
00:18No, you're a kicker.
00:19But it's the preseason.
00:20But it's a completely different job.
00:22And he's working his way through the preseason.
00:24And yeah, he missed an extra point, and then he kicked the ball out of bounds.
00:27Right.
00:28Those aren't good things.
00:29Right.
00:29You get into the regular season, and you do bad things.
00:32He's already done that, too.
00:34That was last year, yeah.
00:35And he was given another opportunity to come in this regular season and make amends.
00:41And if he doesn't, then he's going to get what he's going to get.
00:45But my worry meter of Jake Moody is about a zero out of ten.
00:49You're kidding me.
00:49No.
00:50I mean...
00:50Really?
00:51It's the preseason.
00:52Are we worried about Sky Moore dropping the ball in a preseason game?
00:56Actually, yes.
00:58But Sky Moore doesn't matter that much to 49er outcomes.
01:02Jake Moody does.
01:03And I can't believe that you guys are acting like this is his first offense.
01:08His rookie year wasn't that good.
01:10It was okay.
01:11It was pretty good.
01:12I remember the first game-winning kick.
01:15It was in Cleveland.
01:16It missed.
01:17Brock Purdy hits Brandon Iyuk.
01:19There, oh gosh, it's a game-winning drive.
01:2241-yarder.
01:23What are we doing here?
01:25Jake Moody can't be the kicker for this team.
01:27Why not?
01:28Because he's not good.
01:29Well, we're going to find out.
01:31And if he's not good...
01:31We've already found out.
01:33He was kicking with a bad leg.
01:35And I don't excuse it because when you play, that's what you get.
01:38When you play and you put that on tape and you have your stats, they count.
01:43And so, yeah, that's why we are in this predicament where fans are booing him at home games when
01:48he misses kicks.
01:49And if he goes out and he struggles in big moments, he's not going to get any more of a
01:55free life.
01:56He's down to his last chance.
01:58Let me ask you something.
01:59Why did they...
02:00And 888-957-9570.
02:02I'd love to hear some Niner fans on this.
02:05To me, Jake Moody can't be the kicker.
02:08I know he's going to be.
02:09But I think that's completely because the 49ers would like to legitimize their draft selection
02:14of him a couple of years ago.
02:16And right now, they don't feel like they've got a screaming second option, although I think
02:21they kind of do.
02:22Corey Joseph was fantastic in camp and is an experienced kicker.
02:26Has he been picked up anywhere else?
02:27Greg Joseph, sorry.
02:28Has he been picked up anywhere else?
02:30Nope.
02:30All right, he's still sitting there.
02:31Let me ask you, why did they bring him in in the first place?
02:34To apply some pressure to Jake Moody and to have some sort of a competition.
02:39Now, clearly, they didn't think that the competition was so tight that they wanted to give the job
02:45to Joseph or keep him around.
02:47I know the roster situation in camp was to the point where they had to bring in a body
02:52to actually practice football.
02:54And so they had to get rid of the kicker.
02:56But he's around.
02:57Greg Joseph is around.
02:59And if Jake Moody struggles and if he misses a big kick in week one or week two, that's going
03:04to be it.
03:05And at that point, they're going to have to admit that the draft pick that they made was
03:09not the right one.
03:10I hear you.
03:11I just, I don't know why you wait until games that matter to do this.
03:15I think he's told you everything he needs to tell you.
03:18You know what I mean?
03:19And this is why, especially if you're going to say, well, this is kind of about the preseason,
03:24then I'm going to go back to the Raider game and say, because what you're basically saying
03:28is this is process time.
03:30It's not result time.
03:31Because there are no results.
03:33Okay.
03:34Then I'm going to call that 27-yard field goal that would have not been good from 28.
03:39I get to call it a miss because there's no results.
03:42And that was a crappy, awful kick.
03:44And Kyle Shanahan coming out over the weekend and saying that the game in Vegas was one of
03:50the greatest games I've ever seen a kicker have.
03:53Please stop treating us like we're morons.
03:57You've got to be kidding me.
03:59He kicked a buzzer, beat him from very far away.
04:01Wonderful.
04:02But out of the five times he kicked the ball, three times it went sideways.
04:06I'm sorry, twice.
04:07That's not a great game.
04:08It's a great finish, but you completely hooked a 27-yarder.
04:14Luckily, it was from 27.
04:15And you missed a 53-yarder, which is a 53-yarder.
04:19It's long, but in a dome.
04:21I'm sorry.
04:21That's why they picked you.
04:22You're supposed to make that.
04:24My issue with the kicker position is that two-thirds of the teams in this league have somebody
04:29who kicks it straight every time.
04:31And the preseason is different for kickers.
04:35It's not like a linebacker who can learn and read defenses differently and get better.
04:40You have a job, and it is very black and white.
04:43Kick ball straight.
04:44Line up.
04:45Kick ball straight.
04:46Line up.
04:47Kick.
04:48Ball straight.
04:49And my man does not kick ball straight enough.
04:52There are tons of teams around this league have dudes that do.
04:55You've got to get one of those guys.
04:56Well, right now, you are dealing with what you have, and it's Jake Moody.
05:00And as far as the kickoff out of bounds goes, in this new kickoff era with the new kickoff
05:05rules, you're going to see a lot more kickers trying to be aggressive.
05:08And he was trying to put one down into the corner in play, and yeah, it went out of bounds.
05:13So I would look for him to do that now in the preseason.
05:17You have a quarterback who maybe makes decisions that they wouldn't make in the regular season,
05:21and that's okay, but when kickers struggle in the preseason, now we all lose our Casey
05:26Schmidt over it?
05:27I mean, did you see the look on the face of the special teams coach?
05:33Absolutely.
05:34Okay, so they did not feel like this.
05:36Oh, well, Jake's working on something, and he missed.
05:38It's the preseason.
05:39All good.
05:40It was not all good.
05:41It was not all good.
05:43But again, it's a preseason game, and if it was so not all good, then they would have
05:47just cut him.
05:48He'd be cut, and maybe come tomorrow he will get cut.
05:51And maybe they'll go to Greg Joseph tomorrow, and Jake Moody would be a last-minute surprise
05:57cut.
05:58That could happen.
05:59It doesn't sound like it.
06:00I'm not saying that they're going to act.
06:02I'm simply saying that they should.
06:04Like, I've seen everything that we need to see.
06:06And it's only because it's the kicker.
06:08I understand that if this was a young player, and we were at any other position, and we're
06:13like, oh, there's been some good, there's been some flashes, it's a little raw, but
06:18you know, he's learning, we're going to coach him up.
06:20This is a kicker.
06:21This is a kicker.
06:22Snap, kick, straight.
06:24That's it.
06:25That's all you're doing here.
06:26And I don't even necessarily really buy the whole idea of, like, well, these are his
06:34first, you know, games at this level.
06:36It's like, sure, the NFL is a bigger deal than college, but Dog kicked at Michigan in
06:42the national title game.
06:43Different.
06:43It's completely different.
06:44It's different.
06:45The uprights are different width, and the football is different, and all the rest of it.
06:49Understood.
06:49But it is also, it is, he, the stage.
06:51It's kicking, yes.
06:52It's a big stage.
06:53Sure.
06:53He has kicked on a big stage, and he was great.
06:56And he's gotten to this stage, and he's openly admitted that he needs therapy every
07:00week, because he's struggling with his confidence.
07:02It's a struggle, yeah.
07:03So, I don't think that, I'm personally not at the point, I know Shanahan's not either,
07:08where you're ready to just cast him out and go in a different direction.
07:13They do see the unbelievable leg talent, and that's undeniable, the talent that he has in
07:18his leg.
07:19He can kick the ball from tremendous distances, and so you're hoping that the accuracy will
07:24improve, and you still have the big leg, and, you know, you used a third-round pick
07:28on him, that's not nothing, so you're going to give him additional chances, although I do
07:33think now he is out of those additional chances.
07:36Maybe, but I...
07:36He's all chanced out.
07:37Yeah, to me, like, we sort of arrived in this game feeling that way, and he hooked the first
07:41extra point.
07:43Like, not even close.
07:44Way left.
07:45So, that's it.
07:46And then you, like, oh, then you make one after the crowd is booing you, and they give
07:51you a Bronx cheer for making an extra point, and, like, okay, then you head to the other
07:55end of the field and kick the ball out of bounds, and your special teams coach goes nuts.
08:00Like, what?
08:01Why?
08:02What is it that we're doing?
08:03Like, I have the hardest time believing that right now the 49ers believe this is the best
08:08they can do.
08:09I believe that they think there's a financial fallout for switching, and I believe that they
08:14feel that there's embarrassment in switching, because they did make him the highest-picked
08:19kicker in years and years and years when they picked him in the third round two years ago.
08:24So, it is an admission of being completely wrong, and that's why Jake Moody's still on the
08:29team, not because they believe he gives them the best chance to kick the ball between the
08:33uprights.
08:33He clearly doesn't.
08:34I think that they see the leg talent, and they see that he's a guy that can be better
08:40than he was last year, and if that's the case, and yeah, the third-round pick is not nothing,
08:45as I said, but I don't think that he's been so bad in the preseason that you absolutely can't
08:50go forward with him.
08:50They don't think that.
08:51I just, again, I tell you what they're thinking.
08:54I think it's about money and draft status.
08:55I don't think it's because they think he's their best option right now.
08:59But, what do you all think?
09:00We'll take some calls on this.
09:01888-957-9570.
09:04Yeah, Grandy, what do you got?
09:05You guys were talking during the crossover, Jawan Jennings and his hold-in slash calf injury.
09:09You mentioned Terry McLaurin, who got a new deal.
09:12The biggest hold-in in the NFL has also ended.
09:15Bengals and Trey Hendrickson have reached an agreement on a $14 million raise for this year,
09:21meaning he'll make $30 million this season.
09:24He will still become an unrestricted free agent after the year.
09:28That's huge.
09:28That's huge.
09:29Trey Hendrickson.
09:31And that one had been pretty quiet.
09:33You still got Micah Parsons.
09:34You still got Jawan Jennings.
09:36We'll talk all about out.
