00:00And it was a newsy day, if you want to use that word, I guess, because Brandon Ayuk has switched
00:07his agent.
00:07He has hired Drew Rosenhaus.
00:10He is reportedly ready to apply for reinstatement, which starts with a plan for him to show up to the
00:1649er facility on Friday.
00:18Now, what does that mean?
00:20Does that mean there's a standoff at the OK Corral?
00:22You got Kyle and John standing on one side and possibly Brandon standing on the other side.
00:28And I mean, are we going to do this?
00:30Go ahead, punk.
00:31I don't think my day.
00:33You feel lucky?
00:34I don't think it's going to be.
00:35Little ass boy.
00:36Who knows?
00:37Who knows?
00:37If Brandon brings his social media, it could get hot.
00:41How fast is Brandon driving when he arrives?
00:43We can ask all of these questions.
00:45They mad.
00:45I need a little cat.
00:46They mad because I showed up.
00:47They mad because they stupid.
00:49I mean, Halloween was just a week ago.
00:51It would be great if they actually did show up in cat suits.
00:53That would be funny.
00:54That would be awesome.
00:56They dumb.
00:57But anyway.
00:58They stupid ass mad at they silk.
01:01I'll just say one.
01:02We love being real on this show.
01:05The day started off and the news breaks and the Joes are sitting out outside in the Embarcadero
01:11and they're like, would you want Brandon back?
01:14And I started texting you guys.
01:15I'm like, what the hell are we doing?
01:17What do you mean do you want Brandon back?
01:19Like, the 49ers have clearly moved on.
01:22I think this guy has a full race to run with hurdles before he ever plays for any NFL team
01:30again.
01:30But I have been eyebrows raised at minimum to hear how many 49er fans today are on some level open
01:42to this.
01:43And I'm like, first of all, how thirsty are you?
01:47Well, we really need a receiver, Mark.
01:49Really bad.
01:50And Brandon Ayuk is, he's a good receiver.
01:53I remember it.
01:54And so, he's already signed.
01:56So, no draft capital needed.
01:57Just have him come on in and put some shorts on and run around and he's back.
02:03I don't quite see it that way.
02:05It's just, it's amazing to me.
02:08But, like, let's talk it out and we want you to know exactly what's going on and what Kyle Shanahan
02:16said about it.
02:17Here's his full exchange today with regard to Brandon Ayuk.
02:21Kyle, has Brandon Ayuk informed the team that he is reporting to the headquarters?
02:26I believe they talked to his agent.
02:28Do you expect him here and what's your response to that?
02:32None.
02:33I have no expectation.
02:34Kind of moved on with that mentally and everything and doing kind of how I talked to you guys two
02:38months ago.
02:39Nothing's really changed for me.
02:41Would you expect a resolution before he would potentially show up here then?
02:46I wouldn't think so.
02:47I think we'd have to show up for stuff to happen.
02:49Is there a path where you guys could ask the league for a roster exemption, Kyle, where you revisit with
02:55him or consider your options before the trade deadline?
02:58Those are no questions I've asked, so I don't know.
03:00But I have zero questions about him.
03:03Okay.
03:03So that's where it started.
03:05There's more to play for you.
03:07But what's the reaction to what Kyle said, first and foremost?
03:11Well, he has zero questions about it because he's worried about the Raiders on Sunday.
03:16And that's the way Kyle's brain works.
03:18He doesn't worry about any of that outside stuff and stuff.
03:21And so I think that the questions that were asked were the right questions.
03:24And the answers he gave were pretty much the right answers.
03:27He's not dealing with whether or not they can get out of the contract or put them on this list
03:31or that list.
03:32He's thinking about who do we have who can play.
03:35And he listed off 14 guys who were injured.
03:37Some of them are maybe vet days.
03:39And so he's trying to figure out who's going to run the ball and who's going to be the boundary
03:43X.
03:44Okay.
03:44So first of all, coming up at 3 o'clock, I want to dive into that.
03:47The injury situation surrounding the Niners, Greg Cosell.
03:50We'll get into availability and kind of our guess as to who is and who's not going to play this
03:55weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders.
03:59I also noticed, though, in that conversation the way that Kyle insulated himself, and I think it's important, you know,
04:06hey, have you talked to the league and have you talked to Brandon with regard to what the expectation is
04:15that he's going to do on Friday?
04:17And he goes, yeah, I think they talked to his representatives.
04:23Notice this.
04:24I think this is important because in our soap opera brains, we love to be, we love to sort of
04:29play with what we were just joking about.
04:31It's like Brandon's going to drive up to the facility.
04:33Kyle's going to be standing there.
04:35John's going to be standing there.
04:36And they're going to look at each other.
04:38And it's going to be a dirty look.
04:39And there's going to be music and boots and Spurs will be there.
04:48And that twitchy trigger finger with the six shooter in the holster.
04:52I don't think Kyle Shanahan, like, I don't even think he's going to see Brandon Aiyuk.
04:57I don't think Brandon's going to see him.
05:00If I'm the Niners, there's no way I'm letting that happen.
05:02Understand, I'm not letting Brandon Aiyuk get anywhere near my team.
05:06He does not have the right to do that.
05:09He is not going to get anywhere near the players or the coaches on this team.
05:13I wonder what right he actually does have, because if he goes ahead and reports, then he has to go
05:20through a physical.
05:21So how is he going to get a physical done if he's not allowed to report?
05:24Well, no, you can report, but you're not going out to the field.
05:27You do physical with the medical people over there in a doctor's office or on the treadmill or wherever you
05:34go to pass a physical.
05:36You're not going out there to fraternize with DeForest Buckner.
05:39No.
05:40Well, not until you pass a physical, and even at that point, then you get into the whole thing about
05:45the collective bargaining agreement.
05:47And, you know, if he's medically cleared, what rights do they have to, I guess they could just have him
05:53be a DNP deactive.
05:54I don't know.
05:55There's so many things that I think will never come to pass.
05:59I think he either gets traded or cut by tomorrow at noon.
06:03Here's unfortunately the exchange that's going to run social media, though, for the next day or so.
06:10Can you just clarify, is there any conceivable way Brandon Iyuk ever plays again for the team?
06:16I can't clarify that.
06:18So, no.
06:19If I know what clarify means.
06:21I'm trying to, or sports talk radio.
06:24I know you only clarify what you're hearing.
06:26There's no chance that Brandon Iyuk can play for you.
06:28Man, there's no absolutes in life, so.
06:30We got a sports talk radio reference in there, so we appreciate that, Kyle.
06:35There's no absolutes in life.
06:38Let's talk about it.
