00:00I have enjoyed the Kyle Shanahan 2026 experience so far.
00:05I mean, he's doing the most with what he has on the field.
00:08I know that guys are in and out of the lineup.
00:10Bosa came up with a calf injury, and he's going to be out multiple weeks.
00:14I mean, it kind of mattered.
00:15Arizona put up points.
00:17They only won by six points to the Cardinals.
00:20But we've seen this Arizona team play some pretty good offense at times,
00:23so I'm not really surprised by that.
00:24They are.
00:25They are.
00:27And, you know, listen, I think this Niners team, I've said this multiple times.
00:31I said this before that Rams game, John, that it seems like in any year,
00:36they'll just get to nine to ten wins at any point.
00:41It's like, hey, oh, half our roster is out.
00:43It doesn't matter.
00:44We're going to get to ten wins because we have Kyle Shanahan
00:46and maybe one or two guys.
00:47They get there due to coaching.
00:50I agree.
00:51They get there due to coaching.
00:52When you can have consistent years, no matter who the quarterback is,
00:57and this is key, and this is why I think from a standpoint of outside
01:01of the quarterback position, I'm not necessarily because they all go down.
01:06It doesn't matter who the quarterback is.
01:08He gets great play out of his quarterbacks.
01:10His running backs, they seem to be able to find anybody off the street
01:14because they have a style that they run, and they run that style.
01:17That running back goes somewhere else.
01:19Never heard of him.
01:20So the defensive side of the ball is where I have the most pause
01:25for the San Francisco 49ers, and of all the teams that are 3-0,
01:31between Minnesota and San Francisco, they're neck and neck for the 3-0 teams.
01:37I'm like, ah, I don't know.
01:39Yeah, you know, the Vikings are 3-0.
01:41And I say that even though the Raiders are 3-0.
01:43I know.
01:44The Raiders are 3-0.
01:45The Vikings are 3-0.
01:47Minnesota won on the road in Tampa.
01:49They stayed perfect.
01:51The Buccaneers are 0-3.
01:54Do you think the Vikings have earned a place here in the NFC?
01:58No.
01:58Yeah, you're not buying it?
02:00No.
02:00Even you were high on them, John.
02:02You were like, ah, Vikings, watch out for them.
02:04No, no, no.
02:05I didn't say that.
02:06You never heard me say that.
02:07Huh?
02:07No, I don't.
02:08Boy, take credit where it's due.
02:11Look, I've watched all three of their games.
02:14I've watched all three of their games.
02:16No, not at all.
02:17But they're winning.
02:18Hey.
02:19They're winning games.
02:20Yeah, and as we talked about earlier, those wins will benefit you down the line.
02:25There you go.
02:26The way that they're winning games, it doesn't feel sustainable.
02:29Okay, yeah.
02:30I'll put it like that.
02:31That's fair.
02:31It doesn't feel sustainable.
02:33You got two with a backup in Carson Wentz, and now you found yourself with Kyler Murray,
02:38who, again, it's my opinion, I didn't think he looked good today.
02:42I agree with you.
02:42I really didn't.
02:43I thought they won that game more on the defensive side of the ball, because at one point in time,
02:49it seemed like they had 15 people on the field on defense.
02:53But Tampa Bay kept showing up.
02:56They kept showing up.
02:58But at the end of the day, Kyler Murray getting 168 and an interception, it just didn't look
03:05to me like that's something where I'm like, oh, Kyler Murray's back.
03:09I mean, it's his first game.
03:12It's his first game, so I want to give him a second game.
03:14Really, he got, you know, knocked into Tuoville.
03:16First game, but it's his first actual physical game back, and he looked like it.
03:22And he really did look like it when everything got live out there.
03:25So I'm going to give him some grace, but in giving them grace, they're the 3-0 team as well.
03:30I'm like, oh, talk to me at Christmas.
