00:00It was the Mason fumble with about six minutes left in that game, 6-12, the 10-yard line,

00:08and gave the ball back to the Cardinals, and the Cardinals marched up the field and hit

00:14a game-winning field goal to win that game, 24-23, 8-8-8, 9-5-7, 9-5-7-0, in 10 minutes

00:21I'm going to play you the Kyle Shanahan press conference from today.

00:26He's already spoken to the media about an hour ago.

00:29So I'm going to play that for you in about 10 minutes.

00:33And the Niners, Goo, just two and three, and they just, they look like an incomplete football

00:41team.

00:42What's more concerning?

00:43Oh, go ahead.

00:44Well, I just think that there's nothing they can hang their hat on right now.

00:47The defense isn't good enough, the offense hasn't been good enough, the special teams

00:52haven't been good enough.

00:53What about the coaching?

00:54The coaching hasn't been good enough.

00:58That's what's concerning me.

00:59Yeah, I mean, maybe this, maybe they're not as good as we thought they were.

01:04Well, Stani, they were up 13.

01:06They were up 14 on the Rams.

01:09So at those different junctions in both games, everything that we think about this football

01:15team, we're correct.

01:18But why does it veer off?

01:19Why does it go awry?

01:21Why does, you know, what happened to IUK in the second half?

01:25I don't know if that's a Kyle problem, is that a Purdy problem?

01:28Is that a IUK problem?

01:29That I don't know.

01:31But as far as defensively, you talk about that fumble for Mason, and I know it's a team

01:36game.

01:37Okay, defense, you know, bail us out.

01:40The first play after the fumble, Connor gets the ball for nine yards.

01:44Stani, it's one of those, I'm your big brother, I'm running right at you, I'm gonna get nine.

01:50He looked like Earl Campbell in the second half.

01:53So I don't have those answers as to why in the first half, the Niners can build these

01:57leads.

01:58And then all of a sudden, you know, nothing, nothing's happening.

02:02I don't know why everything is looks like a fade in the end zone in the red zone.

02:07It seems like they're running the same route, regardless of who the receiver is.

02:11And the biggest glaring thing for me today is if I was in front of Kyle, how the hell

02:18do you and I'm saying it not mean it come for me, I don't care.

02:21Do you give the modern day Marshawn Lynch 14 carries in a game where it's 100 degrees

02:28out?

02:29We're watching guys?

02:30No.

02:31Oh, do you give they didn't do that with Connor?

02:33He wore the Niners down the fruits of your labor.

02:37Why does he only have 14 carries averaging 6.4 a pop?

02:43If this is high school, if it's college, I told you, I don't have the answers.

02:48But those are the questions that are at the top of my list.

02:5114 carries.

02:53You're doing the Cardinals defense a favor.

02:57And whatever reason you've fallen in love with being pass happy, Stiney, you still got

03:02a red zone issue, 9 to 20, 29 to 22 for 30th in the NFL.

03:09And I'm sitting here, me, Daryl Johnson, calling Kyle a genius.

03:14So is this just all about no McCaffrey or lack of creativity because Kittle can catch

03:20look at the catch a couple of weeks ago in the end zone of last week against the Pats.

03:25Don't tell me it's him.

03:26You got beast mode.

03:28You got Jennings deep.

03:29What's happened to Debo?

03:31I mean, Stiney, the end around is outdated.

03:35Shout out Apple.

03:37There needs to be an update.

03:38Joe Mason gets a run for nine yards.

03:42Hey, you know what?

03:43I got a great idea.

03:44Give it to him again.

03:46No, we'll just get to give it to Debo.

03:49End around nothing like he's getting too cute.

03:52But I can and I will question why Mason left that game yesterday and 100 degree heat with

03:5914 totes.

04:00I would.

04:01Stiney, help me.

04:02I'm not going to be able to give you an answer, but you're not mad at the question.

04:08I mean, Kyle might say he can't last 20 carries in that heat, and in fact, that's why he fumbled

04:16late in that game because he was worn down.

04:18I don't know.

04:19Listen, I don't have the answers.

04:22Six yards of pop.

04:23Stiney, I'm going to find out if he can last.

04:26Let's go to Philmo.

04:27Philmo, Mike.

04:28Start us off, Philmo.

04:29How you doing, Mike?

04:30I'm not doing particularly well.

04:40We're soft.

04:41Niners.

04:42The Niners are kind of soft right now, and I don't know what's going on, but I keep relying

04:50on the fact that they're really not in panic mode, but they need to step their game up.

04:58I don't know what's wrong with the defense.

05:01Under Kyle Shanahan, we usually have a way more stouter defense.

05:08They're not making any plays when it needs to be made.

05:14You got to make plays when it needs, like when we need to be making plays, not when

05:19you feel me like, you're right, something's wrong with the team, something is off, but

05:27I'm going to stay faithful.

05:30I know Guru, you're kind of happy because you're a Dallas Cowboy fan, but you're a true

05:34professional.

05:35I give you that.

05:36You're a hella professional, bro.

05:37I appreciate you.

05:38And you'll be right.

05:39Bro, you'll be riding with the Niners, bro.

05:42You see it too, and you just give your honest opinion.

05:45So I just really appreciate that, but there's something off.

05:50They need the door.

05:51I don't know if they need a boombox speaker to come out for home games.

05:55I don't know what's going on, but we've got to get together, and the defense right now

06:01is very, very soft.

06:02Mike, it's not a playoff defense right now.

06:05I know it's five games, but do you have a problem with me saying that, because that's

06:08how I feel right now.

06:10It's not.

06:11Okay.

06:12It's not a playoff defense.

06:14It's a preseason defense.

06:16They're sweet.

06:17They're in a malaise.

06:20Thanks Mike.

06:21Appreciate the call.

06:23Let's see, defense has given up this year, 19, 23, 27, 13, and 24.

06:33Offense.

06:34And a lot of that is skewed too, Stani.

06:37Minnesota was going up, I mean, Warner made the play on Aaron Jones, but that was about

06:42to be a 30 or 40 point burger, and they held him 27.

06:45But again, you're not fighting me, I just, the defense is what it is.

06:51And at the end of the day, Stani, until Greenlaw comes back, if he does come back, I really

06:55believe that that's a big deal.

06:58What's up with Hufanga?

06:59Now all of a sudden, Stani, you know he's getting caught peeking, but even when he's

07:04healthy, he's not, like he didn't, what's going on there?

07:08We were ready to call him Ronnie Lott when he was out.

07:11Who was?

07:12Stani.

07:13He's not Ronnie Lott.

07:14Okay.

07:15Stop.

07:16No, I get that.

07:17But don't, Stani, he started off great.

07:19And when he got hurt, it was going to be, it was a big, you know what I'm saying?

07:23Just chalking up the injuries.

07:24You got injuries.

07:25Well, I'm talking about the plays where he's caught peeking, that, you know, you're actually

07:30playing.

07:32He gambles a lot.

07:33Yeah.

07:34No, right.

07:35I got you.

07:36So do I.

07:37Mad Dog in San Mateo.

07:38What's up, Mad Dog?

07:39How you doing, man?

07:40Hey, Stani.

07:41Hey, Gu.

07:42How's it going?

07:43Hey.

07:44Hey.

07:46So this is my, this is what I saw.

07:47You know, I mean, like the Cardinals are like the Jefferson High School of the NFL.

07:52I mean, they may not be winning much, but they are physical.

07:55They will punch you in the mouth.

07:56And they, they have always had physical games with the Niners and the Niners got punched

08:02and John Connor, he ran like a man and they couldn't tackle him.

08:08And so the defense right there, and they needed a safety to be able to come in with the hammer.

08:13And then, of course, there's three turnovers.

08:15So, you know, they, I don't know, they're not hitting.

08:20It seems like they're getting out ahead.

08:21They got out ahead in Minnesota.

08:23They got out ahead yesterday.

08:26It seemed like they couldn't stop that run going up the middle.

08:29Well, they did.

08:30It was the tale of two halves.

08:32They did in the first half.

08:33So my question, my quick question to you is what's happening in the second half that is

08:38not mirroring the first half.

08:40They gave up 10 points, Connor averaged 1.6 yards a pop, and Murray had the run.

08:45He's great.

08:46But the Niner defense looked like the Niner defense.

08:49What's happening at halftime?

08:50That's the question I have.

08:54And Bosa said, yeah.

08:57So I couldn't say except for, you know, is that that fire that Greenlaw used to bring.

09:02And I did see that thing on the sideline, you know.

09:05But they need somebody who's got some fire, more fire.

09:11Thanks man.

09:12Yeah.

09:13Appreciate the call.

09:14And do you have a problem?

09:15I read it to you and Evan Bosa at the podium game because I know he's not afraid to criticize

09:18defensive coordinators.

09:20And he was a big reason why Wilkes was ran out of here.

09:23But Stiney, he said they didn't make an adjustment to the second half adjustment from a run standpoint

09:28from the Cardinals.

09:29So like, what do you do?

09:31Is he calling out the coordinator?

09:32I don't know.

09:33But wow.

09:34I think in all of our losses, the preparation we've had has been great, but teams are playing

09:40us different and doing things differently.

09:42And we need to adjust a little better, just showing different looks and kind of than what

09:47we were looking at on tape.

09:48So just got to adjust and get them down.

09:53That's thrown.

09:54No, I'm asking because they got to make adjustments.

09:57Well, you got 60 minutes to do it.
