00:00say good morning to the rooster chris russell one of the hosts on the team 980 rooster good
00:06morning how are you good morning cakes good morning boys how are we rooster does jayden
00:12daniels have a situational awareness problem i mean how could you say he doesn't eb says he
00:19doesn't i i don't i think he had one last week i don't think he had one this week i
00:23mean you know
00:24it's not a good look eb when you know like fourth down you know you got to get rid of
00:28it you know
00:28you've got to try and make a play and you throw it out of bounds and it wasn't even that
00:32close
00:32i think he figured live another day this drives dead well sure in the last 10 years you don't
00:37i guess the point being is you don't do that on fourth down i wish you would have done that
00:41on
00:41the on the intentional ground you know like please do that please do that live another day
00:47i don't know that he had a lot of time there i know i know uh just just for the
00:51record in the last 10
00:52years there have been 14 99 plus yard interception returns including 800 yard plus in other words
01:00guys do catch the ball in the end zone and take it back to the house it happens all the
01:04time so
01:04basically once a year out of all the games twice in 24 it happened to 25 he's just not wired
01:11to throw
01:11yolo balls just because you want him to yeah but i think he might go through those interceptions
01:16situation maybe end of i don't know go through those interceptions and i would guess most of them
01:21are in the pocket throwing towards the pylon when a guy picks it off i don't know you just wanted
01:26him
01:26to just willy-nilly throw the ball up for grabs that's what you wanted one he had open receiver
01:32number two he's got rashad white in the corner of the end zone that's not going to be a pick
01:35six in
01:36that situation yeah the dbs are going to it depends on where he throws it if he throws it across
01:41his
01:41body it's possible he throws a pick six all right where the players are all situated it's possible
01:46listen he's just not wired to do what you want him to do like you all you all make great
01:50points uh
01:51and and it's something obviously that i'm going to get more into later on just as i have some time
01:56to
01:56go back and what you know we were doing a live uh what do they call a live stream at
02:00grant's house
02:00last night so you know there was a lot of uh people around and you know you don't get to
02:04watch all the
02:05replays and all that stuff but i'm going to get more into it obviously later on but you both make
02:10great
02:10points here's the thing what we can say is there's a lack of situational awareness and chaos
02:16on a lot of football teams and certainly this one like something of course as we know is just
02:23not humming at a hundred percent and you could probably say it's not even close to 100 would you
02:31fire dan quinn i would not i was leaning towards if they got humiliated annihilated and blown out as
02:39they did in the first half yeah i was leaning towards oh man this is this is going to be
02:46really
02:47hard to justify not doing that and i said the worst case scenario coming in was they got annihilated and
02:53then they didn't fire him and then we were all looking at you know we meaning us as talk show
02:58hosts
02:58right uh and fans quite honestly and the national media which we saw the the impact of last week
03:05having 11 or 12 days before they play philadelphia and going like oh my god what are they doing why
03:12why are they not you know it's kind of like the locksley situation at maryland nobody can figure it
03:16out well um so i would not considering the second half and even parts of the second quarter i mean
03:22it
03:23wasn't great in the second quarter but obviously the second half while not pretty while not even close to
03:28good enough while not perfect they fought their asses off they were competitive they showed a little
03:33spunk now where the hell that was for a quarter and a half i have no idea i don't know
03:38how you could
03:39come out as flat as as they did i great i know san francisco is a great team i got
03:47it i i know kyle pretty
03:49well okay i i that whole coaching staff is a juggernaut okay uh how you could come out that
03:56flat it's not even an intimidating environment i've been to that stadium twice guys that place stinks
04:02it's not that in i mean it wasn't even a true road game i mean it was because you got
04:08to go five and a
04:09half hours away but it was not like a cauldron that you could say well you know i mean the
04:14place was on
04:14fire no it wasn't they just came out and as usual they didn't play with their hair on fire for
04:20half
04:20the game yeah rooster how can this defense slow down tight ends george kittle the latest to get his
04:27five for 69 caught a touchdown i mean every tight end that's faced them has done damage yeah how can
04:34they fix it it's eight touchdowns i put up the numbers yesterday i forget what exactly they are right
04:39now but it's eight touchdowns now with kittle just this year and then you go back and you look
04:45like the game that pissed me off to no end last year was the minnesota game you know they're playing
04:49against horrible ass jj mccarthy and they give up three touchdowns to three nondescript tight ends
04:54who have nobody's ever heard of and you know that was in last uh early december right and then it
05:01just continues to get worse and worse and worse and you say well well sunny style is going to fix
05:05that
05:05yes he's going to fix some of that but he's not going to fix all of it he got beat
05:08by isaiah likely last
05:10week so how do they fix it i i mean i mean number one is asking sunny to do more
05:16in primary coverage
05:18that's number one uh number two more and this is hard to do especially when you have mike evans cooking
05:25like he was last night in the first half before he gets injured is you have to do you have
05:30to treat
05:31the tight end in some of these matchups even against pedestrian guys like jake ferguson down in
05:36dallas and dallas goddard in philadelphia you have to treat them almost like they're the number one
05:40wide receiver cloud coverage bracket coverage and take your chances on the outside that some of your
05:47guys can make plays and neutralize but you it's hard to do that when you have mike evans on the
05:52other
05:52side now of course as mike evans got hurt last night what happened right all of a sudden the commander's
05:58defense gets better amazing how that happens yeah and and you already asked the question how do you
06:05how can you explain a first half like yesterday where you're just you're digging yourself a hole
06:12and then the second half you outplay them considerably yeah and then last week you outplay the giants in the
06:19first half yep and then you get outplayed in the second well it's the same thing in london jason with
06:24the colts first half and second half right yeah it's been all year they can't put two halves together
06:29yeah and and i i don't know the answer to why i don't know uh when you guys had john
06:34kime on i i
06:35didn't hear it uh you know um i don't john's the smartest guy i know in in terms of this
06:41stuff and
06:42he's been around forever i don't know if he has a good answer uh the only answer that i can
06:47come up with
06:47is they think they think they work really hard and intense and hot and and and they're urgent and
06:56they're playing with their hair on fire and all this you know macho charisma stuff i don't i don't ever
07:03get that sense when i'm around there now i'm not there every day uh so just i'm saying i don't
07:10think
07:11this i think this team talks a good game i don't think they practice and work a good game like
07:16even last
07:17week right they had you know the extra day right and they wednesday was a recovery day recover my ass
07:24they should have been in that building and practicing you know they after blowing that game
07:31at the very minimum walk through hey in this situation and that situation and this even in
07:38bucket hats get on the field let's go you know i don't know if they work as hard as they
07:45think they
07:45work quite honestly and i know that's going to get me in trouble with somebody over there i'm sorry
07:49that's just the way i feel i haven't hid from that i've said it for two years now i think
07:54it's too much
07:55of a bro culture too much of a you know hey man we'll be all right we'll just do this
07:59we'll do it
08:00right we'll get it right i'm excited to see this and i'm excited to see that and i like the
08:04dan quinn
08:04hire you guys know that i did i like the dan quinn hire when nobody else did so i was
08:09wrong i was
08:10looking like a genius after year one i was wrong it's just too much of a loosey-goosey culture i'm
08:16not saying they don't work i'm just saying i don't know if they work as hard as they as other
08:21teams work and as hard as they think they the rooster is coming down hard i like it is it
08:26worse than
08:26club jay hey you were a club jay guy right i was a club jay guy i i dubbed that
08:34term yeah he hates
08:35ping pong tables yeah i know that i know that about the exactly i mean i i like my guy
08:40jay but
08:41you know like jay was soft as cream cheese sometimes too you know hey roosty have we seen terry mcloran
08:49the last time in a commander's uniform unfortunately i think we have i mean i you know i was already
08:55sad
08:55if that's the way that it goes out i mean we don't know the exact injury dr david chow is
09:01the long time
09:01you know he he does the video analysis on on twitter i think he called it a patella tendon
09:06uh if i'm using the term right i could be slightly off on that now he's obviously not examining them
09:12but he's a former nfl sideline physician he's usually pretty close on these things whether it's a cl whether
09:18i guess the only thing we could hope for is that it would be you know like a six to
09:23eight week mcl type
09:24of thing i don't know um i'm assuming it is and here's part of the reason not only the the
09:30the nature of
09:31the injury one his age to his injury history but guys i've been worried about this all year even
09:38before this happened 34 million dollars in salary cap space tied up to terry mcloran next year that's
09:45the cap charge yeah of course you can work some of that around if you really wanted to and maybe
09:52terry decides to take a pay cut i don't know how that all would work out but that's a daunting
09:58daunting
09:58number for 30 what two year old receiver coming off of a major knee injury and more you know what
10:04it sucks that terry got hurt more balls for chig coming out of the byland williams yeah that was
10:10that was great and getting antonio involved or uh you know later and and steph diggs is not your true
10:16number one like where he can explosive take the top off but they've got guys that can do that but
10:23yeah you do have a little attrition now at that position right i mean uh jalen lane is gone obviously
10:28for the year luke mccaffrey just you know looked good in camp and then disappeared and and can't
10:33even stay on his feet and who knows what the hell's going on with him in year three and how
10:37long he's
10:38going to be here um you know you you worry though i maybe not you i worry do they make
10:44a move and trade
10:45diggs to a wide receiver competitive you know um a team like uh i don't know jacksonville who's
10:51ready to get rid of brian thomas so you know like who knows what they ultimately wind up doing
10:56for now and i'm not saying that they're not going to miss terry of course they're going to miss terry
11:01i know we saw terry just on the first play of the game last night right right and what his
11:05impact can
11:06be and we just know but i think actually that's one of the positions that they can probably get away
11:14with losing a dude like terry i'm not saying it won't make an impact please don't misquote me
11:20anybody i'm just saying i think they can absorb it a little bit better rooster good to hear from you
11:26my friend people thank you guys team 980 later today thanks again man appreciate you as always
