00:00Put that on the report, right? Put that on the report, right?
00:03Yeah, you are right. Yeah, you are right.
00:05Did not practice. Did not practice.
00:08Just look at it in the wrong box. Just look at it in the wrong box.
00:12Was he able to do any team drills yesterday, Kyle, or what happened during practice yesterday with him?
00:18Yeah, he did a limited amount of stuff in practice yesterday.
00:24What's your level of concern with his physical condition and his ability to play on Sunday?
00:30Um, it's questionable.
00:34Questionable concern.
00:36I'm not going to say anything about Christian Gus or any of our players' injuries.
00:41Is it fair to say, I mean, because he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday, that this is something that occurred yesterday?
00:47Yeah, he came up yesterday.
00:49Does Brian Robinson have a full connection to your offense, or is he still limited in what he knows?
00:56I mean, he's trying to learn it all.
00:57I mean, he's working his tail off doing it, studying.
01:00But, you know, he's been through three practices, so it's definitely not there yet.
01:03He'll get better throughout the year.
01:05But he's had a real good week.
01:07Coach, with Christian's questionability and then Robinson being so late in addition, how does that affect the game plan and what you're trying to do offensively, not knowing who's going to be back there?
01:17If Robinson's back there and he's ready, he'll be back there.
01:19I mean, I think Brian knows the game plan.
01:22You know, he got it in this week.
01:23You don't have to know an entire offense.
01:25You've got to know what the plan is this week.
01:26And he's repped at it.
01:27So that's the situation.
01:29We're good to go with it.
01:30He's ready for it.
01:30And I know Isaac will be also.
01:32Yeah, how has Isaac Grindo, you know, he obviously missed some time in training camp, but how is his grasp of the system and the protections and everything, how has that improved over the past year?
01:50I think it's done, I think he's improved a lot.
01:53I mean, I think he started out pretty good at it.
01:55Isaac's a real smart kid, does everything well.
01:58Battled a number of injuries last year, battled one in training camp too.
02:01But I think he's gotten better and better since he's been here.
02:05I think everyone would always be further along if they don't have setbacks.
02:08I think it was tough for him.
02:09That's in a lot of training camp.
02:10But Isaac's doing good right now and continuing to get back at it.
02:15You said Wednesday in relation to Christian's offseason, you know, there was concern like, I think you said arthritis or if you meant like tendonitis would still be there.
02:29And, you know, that wasn't an issue.
02:34Is that part of what's going on?
02:37I didn't know arthritis and tendonitis were different, but that's just my lack of education on being a doctor.
02:42But, no, he's just got a questionable deal with his calf.
02:46I have a medical degree.
02:49I can tell.
02:50Yeah.
02:50That's why you intimidate me with your questions.
02:56Did Yeter make it through the week okay?
02:58Yeah.
02:59No, it's good to go.
03:00How about Juwan's conditioning throughout the week?
03:07Are you confident with him going into Sunday?
03:09Yeah, real confident.
03:10I think Juwan's had a real good week.
03:12Got a number of good workouts over the weekend and stuff, which adds to the conditioning.
03:17We've had our fourth practice today.
03:19So I think he's gotten better and better throughout the week.
03:21And I'm excited to see him out there on Sunday.
03:23Will Christian do anything tomorrow, work out the cap or anything to see how he's feeling?
03:35I'm not sure.
03:36I haven't asked that.
03:37With the James injury, is it possible McCormick could be called off the practice squad?
03:41Yeah, if we needed him, definitely.
03:46That's good.
03:48Good.
03:49All right.
03:49Thanks, guys.
03:50All right.
03:51You're listening to 95.7 The Game.
03:53KGMZ, FM and HD1 San Francisco and Odyssey Sports Station.
03:57Always live on the free Odyssey app and now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk Studios.
04:02Pretty short and sweet.
04:03Wow.
04:03How Shanahan.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Wow.
04:05He turned me off.
04:06Yeah, that was short and sour, I would say.
04:08No doubt about it.
04:09Wow.
04:09As opposed to sweet and sour.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Which is also delicious.
04:13Yeah.
04:13Or shrimp or whatever.
04:14That was brutal.
04:16That was freaking brutal.
04:17He was in the mood and I think we know why.
04:20Right.
04:20And just to clarify what he doesn't know, and hopefully he's listening, arthritis is something
04:26that afflicts the joints.
04:28Tendinitis afflicts, wait for it, the tendons.
04:32So when you have arthritis, as many of us do.
04:35Yeah, I got it in the knee.
04:36No doubt.
04:37Yeah.
04:37And that's a joint thing.
04:38And when you've got tendonitis, like McCaffrey may have, it is bilateral Achilles tendonitis,
04:45the Achilles tendon.
04:46I'm not saying he has that now, but yeah, Kyle was not about to address or answer anything
04:52about Kyle.
04:53Guys, I'm not going to answer anything about Kyle and stuff.
04:55Or Christian and stuff.
04:56I think that in general, there's kind of that, we all know this, right?
05:01They're not going to be expansive on injuries.
05:03That's a normal week-to-week thing.
05:05What the Niners are trying to do here, though, is act like this is just another normal injury
05:11situation, and it's not to all of us.
05:14And so that felt very unfulfilling.
05:17I would bet for every, it did for me, everybody out there listening, that felt very, very unfulfilling.
05:23And I get why the Niners are doing that, but I think that the Niners have to understand
05:29that the way Kyle just handled that is going to set off alarms for everybody.
05:33And I appreciate that, because mine are ringing, Stiney.
05:37That's just...
05:37How can you not take that for what you just heard?
05:40I mean, even not only listed as questionable, but to say that I have questionable concern?
05:45I don't even know what that means.
05:47I have questionable concern?
05:50Like, he just tried to not answer the only question that everybody wants answered.
05:54So that's, which is a tough thing to do.
05:56It is, and the only other question that they could have asked would have been,
06:00is Christian going to travel to Seattle?
06:02And, you know, that at least is a yes-no.
06:05Well, questionable.
06:06Sure.
06:06I don't know.
06:07We'll see.
06:07But at least...
06:08Yeah, that's what he would have did.
06:09But if that was at least a we'll see, that would tell you that, whoa, it's a we'll see.
06:14Right.
06:14As opposed to a, yeah, of course he's going to travel and...
06:17Get on the field in the morning and work out.
06:18We'll see on Sunday how he's feeling, but that would have been the only, like, definitive
06:23that you could have possibly asked.
06:25But, you know, Kyle was so rapidly, like, Matumbo-ing every question.
06:30That, to me, Mark, I'm kind of with you, where the tone of that makes me feel like last year
06:35all over again.
06:36Yeah, I don't...
06:36I don't know what to think, but the Niners have to know that they...
06:41And I don't know if this is strategic or not, whatever.
06:44That did not...
06:45That's going to make everybody feel worse about the situation.
06:47Whatever this is, that man is not looking forward to however they got to handle whatever
06:53this is around McCaffrey.
06:55And this is, after hearing him, not good.
06:59It's new.
07:00Like, the only thing I think news-wise that we got out of this is that whatever happened
07:05happened yesterday for the first time.
07:07Man.
07:08So, I think that his tone is probably a function of his surprise and his disappointment with
07:17where we're at.
07:19All right, real quick, if you're just joining us, Kyle Shanahan just talked to the media down
07:25in Santa Clara and obviously was asked about Christian McCaffrey.
07:28And here's all he said.
07:30Take a listen.
07:31Did not practice.
07:32Was he able to do any team drill yesterday, Kyle?
07:35Or what happened during practice yesterday with him?
07:38Yeah, he did a limited amount of stuff in practice yesterday.
07:41What's your level of concern with his physical condition and his ability to play on Sunday?
07:49It's questionable.
07:50Questionable concern.
07:51I'm not going to say anything about Christian Cus or any of our players' injuries.
07:55Is it fair to say, I mean, because he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday, that this is
08:01something that occurred yesterday?
08:02Yeah, he came up yesterday.
08:03All right.
08:04So, that was Kyle Shanahan.
08:05I'm not going to say anything about Christian or any of our players' injuries.
08:10He used the I word.
08:11Wow.
08:11Injuries.
08:12Yeah, I mean, look, and this is how I felt all morning with regard to kind of where the
08:20situation is.
08:21I mean, he's probably not playing Sunday.
08:24That's what I told Sonny.
08:26Which Sunday?
08:27Well, no, this one.
08:28And that's actually the exercise that I'm trying like hell to go through because I know that.
08:32Week to week.
08:33Well, yeah, or just moment to moment.
08:35You know what I mean?
08:36Like, I'll be real with, like, listening to you, Goo, today, I get the concern, but it
08:40almost sounded like he's out for the year.
08:41And in my heart, my gut.
08:43And I know a lot of people feel like that might be the thing.
08:46We don't know.
08:47The same way that everybody who might have been overly optimistic before, if I was guilty
08:53of that, I don't know that you can now be overly pessimistic.
08:57You know, I share everybody's concern, but I don't know what this is going to look like
09:03five weeks from now, but it sure doesn't sound like he's playing on Sunday.
09:07Yeah, I feel like we overestimate the way coaches deal with injury.
09:15Like, they kind of just want to be told, can he go, can he not go?
09:20And, like, I think he was probably, believe it or not, more annoyed that he was going to
09:25have to answer questions about McCaffrey than the injury itself, almost.
09:30Like, I feel like coaches, you know, he's going, all right, we've got to go to Brian Robinson.
09:34But he's like, so now I've got to go up there.
09:37I have no idea how long it's going to be, what it is.
09:41Only that, you know, it's like, is he playing Sunday?
09:45I don't know.
09:45Can he play in three weeks?
09:46I don't know.
09:47Like, that's all you can say.
09:49I have no idea.
09:50And to your point, and to Dibbs' point with the tendonitis now, the Achilles, he missed.
09:56He played four games last year.
09:57I'm just asking you all, because this is where I'm at, what's going to be different if time
10:03didn't heal it, and you took all that time last year to come back, and I know the PCL
10:08was injured.
10:08That's where I'm, like, despondent.
10:11Like, Dibbs, maybe time won't heal what he has going on.
10:16And we don't know if this is the same injury that he had last year.
10:19This could be a different part of the calf.
10:21It could be one calf.
10:22It could be the same.
10:23It could be different.
10:23And the other question, now that we're all batting it around, that I would love to have
10:27answered is, is Christian McCaffrey going to get imaging?
10:31Are there plans for him to get an MRI based on what happened yesterday?
10:36Are you going to image it?
10:38And, you know, what's the plan for, you know, finding out just how bad this is?
10:43I just don't think he's going to answer.
10:44I just don't.
10:45That was a good indication.
10:46He tried to do that like a Friday.
10:48Think about it.
10:49And coaches, they're so formulaic.
10:52This is a Friday press conference.
10:54Friday press conference of a game week is we're going to talk about the game.
10:59Game one.
10:59And if you ask me about an injury, I'm going to give you one word response.
11:04Questionable.
11:05Doubtful.
11:07Out.
11:08In.
11:09And what is he now?
11:10Questionable.
11:11Questionable.
11:11Okay.
11:11Not listed yet officially.
11:13The official report hasn't been put out yet, but he will be questionable, I'm sure.
11:17Yeah.
11:17Unless he's out.
11:18Which is exactly what he was last year for week one.
11:20Hey, man.
11:21Questionable.
11:22Yeah.
11:22Wow, man.
11:24Yeah.
11:24Like, and that's why, I mean, he's not, their whole goal was to just like get in and out
11:30of there as quickly as possible because they don't, they're not going to expand on injuries.
11:34They're probably still, they don't know.
11:37I agree.
11:38But all the reporters got the message that this dude ain't feeling this right now.
11:42He said it.
11:42I'm not talking about Christian, guys.
11:44And they're all like, it's the only thing we want to talk about.
11:47You know, you can hear reporters going, how about, how about, how about, how about, you
11:51tour Ghost Matos, coach?
11:52Hey, uh.
11:53Whatever.
11:53Like, yeah.
11:54Hey.
11:55Are you excited about Dominic Poonie's second year?
11:58Right.
11:59All of a sudden, someone's like, Juwan, Juwan, we can ask about Juwan.
12:02Hey, Juwan.
12:02Yeah, Juwan's good.
12:03Okay, now can we ask another Christian question?
12:05Oh, man.
12:06I mean, that's a tough room.
12:08It's tough, man.
12:09All right.
12:10Well, when we see you Monday, there'll be 1-0 or 0-1-1, man.
12:13Yeah, for sure.
12:14Or 0-0-1.
