Tom, outside of your outstanding plays of the day, I do want to get your opinion on
00:06
something. The guys were talking about it. Kevin mentioned it, but we saw the 49ers have
00:11
an aggressive ground game without Christian McCaffrey. We saw versatility out of a number
00:15
of guys. We saw guys that could probably come in strong with rush and receiving props down
00:20
the line here. So like, how do you think this changes things, maybe even value when it comes
00:24
to Christian McCaffrey over the next couple of weeks?
00:28
Well, the first thing we'd want to get is an update on his health. Will he be playing?
00:34
Will they ease him back in? He may play in week two, but they'll say, oh, he's on a limited
00:39
snap count. He's going to see a decreased workload, something along those lines. That
00:44
is a key piece of information that we need. And I would say we can operate that game or
00:49
hypothetically that game, something along the lines of what we saw tonight, where it's
00:52
going to be Mason, it's going to be Devo Samuel. That's what we could work with going forward.
00:57
Probably a steady use in the passing game for not necessarily McCaffrey, but the other
01:01
players that we saw involved tonight, as you mentioned, you know, time possession, you
01:05
know, as I said last night, like one thing that I always want to make sure with recaps
01:08
is like, we always get something actionable from this. So teams facing the 49ers, if we
01:14
know like that's the Shanahan calling card, they're going to, they're going to like destroy
01:18
the clock. They're going to like sap away the time off the clock. And that limits the
01:22
opposing team's ability to run plays. So that is like the, the key is opposing quarterbacks
01:28
under on passing attempts, because if they literally just don't have the ball for that
01:32
amount of time, a quarterback's not going to be flying to 35 or 40 passing attempts.
01:36
Even it was Aaron Rogers tonight, a quarterback I expected to start slow, but in general,
01:40
if the 49ers are running the ball, the opposing team's not going to be piling up all these
01:44
yards. They're just not going to have a chance to run as many plays. So we can look forward
01:48
to Mason and Samuel being consistent options if CMC is limited in some capacity, and we
01:53
just trust the 49ers defense to do their thing week in and week out.
