00:00right now let's do three things this is becoming a monday or at least day after game tradition
00:04our top three observations the top three things on our minds after a niner game you want to lead
00:12us off i'll lead us off fire away defensive rookies stand up i'm gonna channel my inner
00:17ludicrous with boom stand up and you look at the rookies and how they stood up and siegel
00:24and michael williams and of course upton stout who made the play of the game in my opinion
00:29siegel was great he was a tackling machine michael williams had a couple of big tackles one tackle
00:36for loss and he's really patrolling the middle of that defense like a veteran and then upton stout
00:42it goes without saying you stay through that play all the way through and you hung in there and you
00:49needed to get that ball out and he got the ball out and it forced a fourth down it forced a punt
00:54you got the ball back you won the game he addressed the team in the locker room afterward
00:59week three the rook is holding court i'm just really kind of blown away at how these defensive
01:07rookies and i didn't even mention cj west who apparently played with a broken thumb and probably
01:11will again but this draft class is looking really really fancy mark on the defensive side that's a
01:18fighter man that was i'll just tell you like if you're watching the game on tv as zay jones goes to
01:23the ground um i had a good solid two seconds of like the game's over right the game is over and
01:29then you see the ball just kind of trickle away and you're like oh my god oh my god we still got
01:33life and then the next thing you know here comes mac jones with a knee brace and and pinero and the
01:39niners uh win the game just crazy um all right my first observation it's a pretty obvious one i'm
01:44pretty excited about it ricky pierce all's a star i don't think that this is too early to say it
01:49he is absolutely everything that i was predicting and hoping that he would be he's everything that
01:55the niners thought he would be when they made him a first round draft pick i know that the wide
02:01receiver experience for the niners and for many teams around the league has been a bumpy ride the
02:06last couple years the contracts are out of whack the negotiating ploys are often very very frustrating
02:14the brandon iuk thing left a mark and the debo samuel thing was not far behind but what you've
02:21seen so far in these three games at least takes a little bit of it back for the 49ers when you look
02:28at the way they strategically played iuk and debo lots of mistakes there but the idea all along was
02:35this guy's going to replace at least one of them and my goodness he has actually for these three weeks
02:41he's replaced both of them and so uh what a pick what a job and what a player on a rookie deal
02:48the niners have uh in ricky pierce all it's fantastic and just to watch him make the big plays
02:54watch him make not ordinary plays but eight catches for 117 on 11 targets in the big one on fourth and
03:02two that got you in position to actually score a touchdown which was kind of fun to see the niners
03:07get six points on one play not two plays six points on one play my second thing was cmc and rp
03:17but i'm going to focus on the cmc part of it because you said it so eloquently about ricky
03:21pierce all but just looking at the two of them they had 35 of the 47 touches for 257 yards in totality
03:30and for me it's christian mccaffrey 10 catches 17 carries 140 yards in total and the thing about
03:39mccaffrey is if he's not running it well and he's not because the blocking's not there and he's you
03:46know he had an explosive he had a 15 yard carry and that was about it but he's so darn versatile that
03:52you don't need him to be a running back and there are so many formations where you broke the huddle
03:56and he started in the backfield and then he'd scoot out there into the slot and he is a very
04:02tough cover and so you got pierce all running deeper routes you've got mccaffrey running screens
04:07running you know dig routes and able to even though he's not running it well as a ball carrier he's still
04:15such a threat in the past game christian mccaffrey watching him run with so much violence and anger
04:22yeah you'd love to see brian robinson and you want to see them run the ball more but even when they
04:27don't run it well mccaffrey is still just an incredible threat you think he looks like himself
04:32close enough i mean close enough yeah i mean he does but he's 30 and they're not well i i do
04:41thank you alex pavovich but they're not blocking up a lot of these plays if you watch on a couple of
04:48the past plays where he got out into space yeah the burst is there and he's able to make some big
04:55plays but it's not happening with the same frequency and i'm not putting that on his doorstep
05:00yeah yeah i was just a conversation that's been bouncing around a little bit does he look like 23
05:05does he look like 24 is it somewhere in between i wanted to get your thought on that here's my number
05:11two and it might be a little divisive might be a little divisive so i'm sorry ahead of time even
05:19though the niners are three and oh but i'm a big enough man to admit dude the niners are catching
05:26some breaks the niners catch you make your own breaks in life and you take advantage when others
05:32provide one for you the difference in winning and losing games is often the mistakes you don't make
05:40and so the niners have not made those mistakes and they get credit for that but it's also okay to
05:47admit in the very next breath my god the teams that are wearing the other jerseys keep dropping the damn
05:53pill my marvin harrison jr dude you're the mvp you're the real mvp so far of this thing and
06:02de mercado and cooper cup and chris olave and juan johnson i mean the names the list is from the
06:11ceiling to the floor of niner opponents so far this year flat out dropping the pill and so the
06:21niners no matter what the injury situation is they're going and we know this they've got to be better
06:27they got to be better because so far this year there's just a wee little drop of 2024 kansas city
06:36chiefs in the niners drink they are getting away with some stuff late in games and then kicking field
06:43goals to win it at the very end or whatever um and and so i i think it's okay to admit that and not
06:50plan on that all 17 weeks you would hope to not plan on it and you know you mentioned the harrison jr
06:56it was first and 10 at their own 24 and that play goes for 40 50 maybe it goes all the way to his
07:03house but he dropped it and they ultimately converted and then later in that drive third and six at the
07:10niners 10 de mercado you're gonna walk walk in you'll walk on in yeah you'll walk on in now and he just
07:17flat dropped it and they had to settle for three to tie the game at six so you're right you don't want
07:22to rely on the brakes but when you get the brakes you take them yep we went to the uh lafayette art
07:28and wine festival on saturday about 40 000 people there oh oh god like i mean good luck good luck
07:35finding a parking spot how'd you park we happened to get lucky oh i pulled in somebody was pulling out
07:41three point turn kaboom so you know you take the brakes when you get them when you get them we
07:48were about a block away from uh the beer tent kaboom so yeah you know you're not always gonna get lucky
07:54but when you do you gotta take it and run go to uh dibs half of the bag yeah wife drove home thankfully i
08:00was more like three quarters of the way in the bag anyway but that's your own dd that's my third thing uh
08:05mac jones mac jones was huge and i know he threw a late pick and it was not a good throw it was a
08:12bad throw at the wrong time but 27 of 41 he's your backup quarterback he had to slap on a brace on his
08:20bum knee he's out there limping and gimping he's diving to hand the ball off on a stretch play i thought
08:27that mac jones in totality in the game he was not spectacular but he was good enough to get you the win
08:35again so i wanted to just highlight mac jones because we all you and i both agree brock purdy is
08:42the sauce not gardner but he's the real deal and so you go with your backup quarterback and you win
08:47on the road and then you come home and you win a rock fight over a division rival that's not nothing
08:53now mac jones baby two and oh it's all you can hope for out of a backup quarterback absolutely um to grab
09:00these two wins huge and uh you sort of expect some wobbly possessions maybe a pick or two maybe
09:06it was a fumble last week it was a pick this time um but it's not repeated it's not over and over it's
09:12not back breaking and so i'm with you man nothing nothing but a high five for mac jones all right here's
09:19my last one and i wonder if you agree um we're only three weeks in but i'm gonna say it i'm gonna say this
09:25whip my chest the nfc west is the deepest division in football i don't even think it's arguable i i i'm
09:32gonna stop short of saying it's the best division in football because i don't think it's as sexy as
09:39some others at the top but it's bottom oh you gotta back that thing up now it's got the best butt in
09:46the nfl by far okay there's no bottom it's like joe coy who makes fun of himself what is going on here
09:53no he has no bottom he's got no bottom you should look behind he's got no butt and it's just what the
09:59nfc west is there is no butt all four teams they beat their butts thank you they've got a winning
10:05record all four of them now and actually of the three losses in the division two of them are just
10:10against each other they're against the butt hurts there you go think about what these other division
10:16teams get think about it the bills get the dolphins and the jets and the patriots the
10:23ravens they get the browns and now they get the browning led bengals the colts i guess they're
10:29good is anyone else in that division let me answer it for you no i thought the afc west was super deep
10:35turns out the raiders are still the raiders and i don't even think the chiefs are very good
10:39rock it over to the nfc where a lot of the divisions have two teams that can threaten you
10:44eagles commanders lions packers tampa and never mind but the the nfc west offers four games they
10:55everybody in a go for your game now they're gonna offer you a game and make it tough and so keep that
11:01in mind again with the importance of what the niners have done so far not just three you know two of them
11:08come within what i believe is the deepest division in football it's definitely right now the deepest
11:15and you've got uh the teams that are combined nine and three all with winning records the only division
11:21to boast such a mark i do think that the nfc north would be the next most intriguing i know the vikings
11:28are you know two and one and a team that probably isn't as good as their record right now the bears are
11:34stock up but they beat dallas and i don't know what dallas is doing on defense and you know if
11:40the lions win tonight they'd get two and one as well but by and large you're not wrong i think the west
11:45is the deepest of the divisions uh cd lamb by the way reportedly possibly headed for ir
11:51source jarrah jones right yeah i mean cd lamb is uh and and by the way they lost uh they lost an
11:59offensive tackle uh today their rookie offensive tackle um the dallas cowboys are now here for your
12:07survivor pool pleasure they suck oh yeah they're not beating anybody they are terrible yeah it's
12:15unbelievable that they won a football game last week and you've seen what the new york giants look
12:20like against anybody else it's not good not good so the dallas cowboys they're they're here for your
12:27survivor pool luck and they're here for your fantasy team if you've got any players going
12:32against the cowboys that's a start you start them yeah that defense stops no one wow caleb williams
12:39actually look good against that team and you look at there are uh so far six or seven teams that have
12:45given up 90 or more points and those are teams that are either tanking or just terrible teams and the
12:53dolphins and the cowboys are among them and your first place bangles they've given up 91 points
12:58wow they're a minus 33 and they're in first place they were a ridiculous 2-0 they didn't deserve to be
13:042-0 right but they're 2-0 and now they're 2-1 now they're 2-1 that's a big one oh my god and their
13:11quarterback's out so that's not going anywhere yeah and i'm gonna have to drop jake browning that was a
13:15failure
