00:00Let's, let's stick to San Francisco when we're talking about what's happened with the camp.
00:08Obviously the Brandon Ivey situation is fairly out naked and out in the open, right? He's
00:13reportedly turned down a deal with the Patriots for whatever reason he chooses to see fit.
00:19And now Pittsburgh is out there and Pittsburgh is looking like a real possibility. There
00:23are a lot of people who, who say the chiefs were able to lose Tyreek Hill and look what
00:28they did. Do you think losing Brandon Iuke will have the same slight effect where you
00:34can't really tell with the 49ers or do you think it'll have a far bigger impact?
00:40Bigger impact because Brock Purdy is not Patrick Mahomes. And so Brock Purdy isn't able to
00:46carry the offense like Mahomes can because they're, they're, they're different players.
00:51You know, Mahomes is a better player. I mean, we have to acknowledge that. That said, although
00:57losing Iuke would be significant because he was their number one targeted receiver
01:01the past two years, Kyle Shanahan will figure things out and they will just do things differently
01:07in terms of who gets to production. They have so many other good players on that team. You
01:11know, whether it's McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Jawan Jennings, who's been critical
01:17for them on third down situations. They even had guys come up and make plays like Chris
01:22Conley in big moments of a game in the, in the post season, obviously you have Ricky
01:27Pearsall coming in first round pick. So I think they have enough weapons to kind of
01:31figure things out.
01:33If they're able to do that. We've spent a lot of time talking about how people devalued
01:37running banks. Remember this whole, Oh, they're not getting paid. Are we overvaluing wide
01:41receivers?
01:42Well, the market is the market. So the market's telling us that we're not because those guys
01:46are getting paid. If they weren't getting paid, then they wouldn't be getting the money.
01:51And people would just be going in and selecting draft picks. But I do feel like there's going
01:56to be a tipping point at some point where you're just going to look, we can't have two
02:01receivers on the roster, making over 20 million a year and fill out the rest of those spots,
02:07you know, with the salary cap in mind with good enough players.
02:11And so you're seeing that now you're seeing the Miami dolphins invest heavily in receiver
02:15and the Philadelphia Eagles are doing that. The Chargers did that, you know, with Mike
02:20Williams and Keenan Allen. And so is that, is that a way to build your roster and still
02:27win a Super Bowl? Look at what the chiefs have done. They've went the other direction.
02:32They've went with younger guys and because of who they have at quarterback, they've been
02:35able to get it done and really invest more in their defense.
02:39And so I do think it's something that, you know, Shanahan's looking closely at. Shanahan
02:44was a receiver in college. He understands how to find guys that can play the position
02:48and maybe he's just going, hey, we're going to roll with Deeble and I don't want to give
02:52another receiver over 20 million a year.
