00:00
Thursday night football in Seattle, get yourself an NFC West game between the Niners coming
00:12
off a bad loss at home to the Cardinals and the Seahawks coming off a bad loss at home
00:17
to the Giants.
00:18
So here we go.
00:19
Why don't we start with Kyle Shanahan.
00:20
Let's just say I watched him.
00:22
I was looking for a lot of things in Kyle's press conference this week before the game.
00:27
He really wasn't in the mood to talk.
00:29
I'll just start by saying that he didn't have much to say.
00:33
He's very focused, especially as he continues to lose games in his division.
00:37
But here he is talking about what the Seahawks are now with Mike McDonald as the head coach
00:42
as opposed to Pete Carroll, who he has seen for years as the Niner head coach.
00:46
What can you tell us about McDonald's scheme and what makes it special?
00:50
I mean, does a real good job mixing all the schemes up, fronts, coverages, his players
00:56
play real hard.
00:57
They're coached well.
00:58
Their techniques are good.
00:59
They mix up their players and they mix up the works.
01:01
What's a little different between that Seahawks squad and a Pete Carroll Seahawks squad?
01:07
I mean, the schemes have changed.
01:10
They run different schemes.
01:11
Thanks.
01:12
Thanks.
01:13
Thanks.
01:14
I mean, that was really exciting stuff.
01:15
I got to tell you, that really, boy, my whole day changed with it.
01:22
You think you'd have, you know, you face a guy forever and I get he's not there anymore,
01:28
but thanks, Kyle, for all of that great wisdom that you've bestowed on us about the Seahawks now.
01:34
I'm sure everybody's pumped up for the matchup.
01:35
I love watching them lose.
01:36
I got to tell you, like, everyone thinks they're so automatic.
01:39
You told me yesterday they're still favored to go to the NFC Championship and to the Super Bowl.
01:44
Still the favorites.
01:45
They're two and three.
01:46
I think that they're the favorites for the NFC and I believe they're second on the list
01:52
on the Super Bowl, I believe.
01:54
Second or third on the Super Bowl list, but they're the favorites in the NFC.
01:57
That's for sure.
01:58
Geno Smith has had a very good start to the season for Seattle as well, although they
02:04
did lose to the Giants last week.
02:06
Big game for him.
02:07
Division Thursday night at home under the lights.
02:10
Geno is ready.
02:11
Sense of urgency is definitely always up, you know, especially when there's a division
02:16
opponent.
02:17
You know, those games are, you know, they matter the most sometimes.
02:19
And so, you know, for us, Thursday night game, another primetime game, another chance to
02:24
go out there and prove ourselves.
02:25
But most importantly, you know, to take control of the division.
02:29
You know, that's the important thing.
02:30
It's a big game coming up again.
02:32
Still early in the season, but our first crack at it.
02:35
And, you know, we got to be prepared.
02:37
I got to tell you, Mike, they laid an egg against the Giants at Lumen Field, and that's
02:44
really all I needed to see.
02:47
I don't think they're that good.
02:49
I think their wins came against cream puffs like Miami, who have no quarterback.
02:55
And to have the Giants, I mean, really push them around, that was amazing to me.
03:01
And the other thing is, you know, the old saying, they are who we thought they were.
03:06
The Niners are exactly who they are.
03:08
They're two and three.
03:10
And the reason why they're not good is because Purdy's been average, and he doesn't have
03:15
Christian McCaffrey to bail him out.
03:17
Christian McCaffrey's the best player on the team, and without him on their offense, they
03:23
don't matter.
03:25
And they gave all that money to Brandon Aiyuk.
03:27
When do you see him making plays?
03:29
And where's Debo?
03:31
You know, the only guy I saw making plays for them is George Kittle, and he's like old
03:35
news.
03:36
I mean, honestly, Kelsey and Kittle are getting old, right, on Kansas City and San Francisco.
03:42
At some level, they are, and yet they're still making plays.
03:47
Where's all these big shot Debo and Aiyuk superstars?
03:51
Where's all this, oh, we're going to give 65, 70 million to Brock Purdy, he's going
03:56
to get his payday.
03:58
I mean, Justin Fields has way better numbers than Purdy.
04:04
They have to win this game tonight.
04:06
San Francisco loses this game, goes to two and four, they're not going to a Super Bowl.
04:10
And you can quote me on that.
04:12
Like, at some level, they are who we think they are.
04:14
Look at the record, it's who you are.
04:16
It's not, oh, like we've been hearing the Bengals.
04:19
The Bengals are one and effing four.
04:21
That's who they are.
04:23
That's exactly who they are.
04:25
All they do is lose.
04:27
And then I hear how great they are.
04:29
Shut up.
