00:00Kyle Shanahan has just ruled out Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa for Sunday's game against the
00:14Green Bay Packers.
00:15And I'll say this about that, and I said it to Stein and he kind of bucked up at me, listen,
00:21I am not Mr. Excuse Guy, but no matter what happens this year, and I feel like I don't
00:27even need the chart, but there's no way you're going to tell the story of the 2024 Niners
00:32without saying the injury part.
00:35No excuse.
00:36Even when guys were healthy, it wasn't ideal, but we cannot sit here and will it, you kind
00:41of just did it.
00:42And it wasn't a bad thing.
00:43Every team has injuries, but this team started out with your best player, not there for eight
00:49weeks.
00:50He comes back.
00:51Now it's arguably the biggest game because it's the next game of the season.
00:53And now your quarterback's gone, IU gets hurt.
00:56I'm just, no excuse at all, but how do you really look at yourself, and I'm wondering
01:01from the Niner higher-ups, if you're going to ignore that we were hurt, no excuses at
01:07all, but man.
01:08Go ahead.
01:09Well, to me, it's not an excuse.
01:13It is, do you believe, if you think, oh, we just had a bad year of injuries, well then
01:18that shouldn't overly affect your strategy going into next year.
01:22You'd be like, let's bring them all back.
01:24The problem is, I think we have to ask with this team, at least in certain cases, if the
01:28injuries were a function of age and how much they've played over the course of their careers.
01:35Well, and if injuries are the lone reason that you would look at why you're 5-5, and
01:39I don't.
01:40And if you look at the three games that they blew, if they had only blown one of them and
01:43you're 7-3, that breaking news would hit different.
01:46And you guys all just said that and you're right, but being 5-5, there's a certain amount
01:50of desperation.
01:51And I'm just looking at FanDuel right now.
01:53The spread has immediately jumped to 5-1, Packers minus 5-1, and I predicted that it
02:00would eventually go above a touchdown and we'll see if, you know, as the news spreads
02:05and right now, even if you want to lay the 5-1, it's leaning toward going to 6-1 already.
02:10I was shocked that it didn't get yanked off the board when he left practice yesterday.
02:13I was shocked because it was 2-1 and it just locked there at 2-1 and I'm like, y'all saw
02:19that he left practice, right?
02:22I was shocked.
02:23Anyway, go ahead.
02:24Just what that tells me is that Brandon Allen went through yesterday and today and they
02:26realized that, you know, he's done enough work to where he can be ready and if Brock
02:31is still a little bit sore, a little tender, let's go with Brandon and give Brock a week
02:35and then maybe he's ready for Buffalo.
02:37And Steini, you said it, like, even if you go 5-6, you still in that locker room feel
02:42like there's a run left in you where you could win 5-6.
02:46Doesn't matter who you're playing.
02:47If you're the Niners, you think that you're good enough to beat anyone, anywhere, anytime.
02:52So you take this one, you try to win it, and then you regroup for Buffalo.
02:56And Brandon Allen will start, obviously, according to Kyle Shanahan.
02:59That's official.
03:00Yeah, I look at it this way, go, like, I'm just saying a part of it, man.
03:06The whole, okay, so first off, Steini, your question about age.
03:09One more update really quick before we keep going, Trenton Williams will officially be
03:12a game-time decision for Shanahan as well.
03:16Which I think that actually suggests that it may be on the similar track to last week
03:20is what they'll try to do.
03:24Although if you're Trent, you know, do you almost kind of white flag the game a little
03:29bit?
03:30I guess you could.
03:32But the idea that this is age-based, I don't know, look at the age of some of the guys
03:36who are missing games.
03:38All the way back to Dre Greenlaw in February and Purdy and Bosa.
03:43These are not old players.
03:44So this is just one of those things, and I sort of, to your point, Goo, I hate that
03:49we have to, like, this is such a social media thing that we have to say twice.
03:56We're not using it as an excuse.
03:57It's almost like we're scared that someone's going to come down the road.
04:01It is obviously a factor of this season.
04:06And that's, obviously.
04:08Hello.
04:09Hello.
04:10They have been ravaged by injury at very, very key spots.
04:15That's not, I agree with you, Dibbs.
04:17It's not why they're 5-5, because they've outplayed the opponent 8 out of 10 times.
04:21It's not why, but my gosh, it's at least chapter 2 or 3 in your book.
04:26I guess my point was that if you're going to say, well, we just got drilled by injuries
04:32this year, it may camouflage, or it may mean you're really not looking deeper than injuries.
04:39And there may be issues deeper than injuries on this team.
04:42They know that.
04:43Which they are.
04:44They're going to look, yeah.
04:45Like, they may have seen enough of Purdy already, and it's kind of funny, I think Evan gave
04:49us a stat.
04:50He hasn't thrown a pass 20 to 25 yards for, like, week 4.
04:53Do you think that's just a byproduct?
04:55Over 25.
04:56Over 25.
04:57Is that a byproduct of just, that's our offense, or he may have been hurt for a while.
05:00I think it's defenses who have realized that, you know, you can make this team go through
05:04you, as opposed to over the top of you.
05:07And you know, you saw the last two weeks, and certainly the last game against Seattle,
05:11they were playing that bend-but-don't-break defense, and they're playing that high 2,
05:15cover 2 shell that Stiney loves to talk about.
05:17And it's your next favorite to 1-2-2, and they play that cover 2, and they made the
05:23Niners go 14 yards twice.
05:25One time they punted, one time they got a touchdown.
05:27And I wonder about the idea of the Niners being ravaged by injuries.
05:31I'd have to look at it relative to other teams.
05:34I think about Philadelphia, who lost both of their receivers for a time, they lost their
05:37tight end.
05:38I think about Houston, who lost their No. 1 receiver for a time.
05:42Green Bay had, what, three games without their quarterback?
05:45And I think they won them all.
05:47So the idea of ravaged, to me, is a little bit of a curious one, because you do have
05:52to balance it against other teams with their level of injury as well.
05:57And the Rams came in and beat you without Nakua and Dupuytel.
06:01They had a list of, yeah.
06:03Alright, what's bugging me, we'll continue, sponsored by Echo Pest Control, the NBA.
06:08We already had it ready to play.
06:11Just hit the Odyssey app and you can tell what's bugging me.
06:13Oh no, we were going to play it, Willer had heard it.
06:15Not the whole thing.
06:16Yeah, they cut it down.
06:18You were spectacular.
06:19The whole thing was about eight minutes.
06:21My favorite part, my second favorite part, was Guru with, I don't want to stop you, I
06:25don't want to interrupt.
06:26Audible, Omaha, yeah, go to the Odyssey app.
06:29Yeah, you were pushing it, you were pushing it great.
06:31Just go to the Odyssey app and you can hear it for yourself.
06:34We've got breaking news to discuss.
06:36Mine, what's bugging me, it's quick, it's the people who during a rainstorm say, oh,
06:43it's okay because we need it.
06:44You know what?
06:45We may need it, but you know what we need?
06:48We need you to take a shorter shower.
06:50We need you to irrigate properly.
06:52We need you to get a well and use your own wastewater.
06:55If it's yellow, let it mellow.
06:57If it's brown, flush it down.
06:59The problem isn't the, oh, we need it.
07:01It's you, kind sir and kind madam.
07:04You're wasting water.
07:06That's my problem.
07:07All right.
07:08We need it.
07:09You know what's even more annoying than the we need it people is when the news tells you
07:13after a storm like this, actually it didn't stick.
07:18So I know that you're swimming home, but it didn't help.
07:24Didn't help.
07:25Reservoir is still at 20%.
07:26Well, and it's because our California, our California reservoir collection system, that's
07:33a joke.
07:34I'm starting to think hatch hatch.
07:35He leaks.
07:36Wow.
07:37That's what I'm saying.
07:38He is overrated.
07:39I'm going to go with mine.
07:40It happened yesterday with Willard.
07:42He didn't know in passing in the break room.
07:44So no judgment here because everybody has lives.
07:47They have families, but I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow or the next day,
07:51but I know what's going to happen tonight.
07:53I'm going to be at some theater watching gladiator to Willard told me, you know, go with my life
07:58and my kids.
07:59I don't get to the cinema much.
08:00I come in smiling ear to ear because I can't wait to watch Denzel and gladiator too.
08:05And I just was bugging me as everybody can't let old school dibs get to the cinema and
08:10go watch some great acting.
08:12But there's reasons why I'm with you.
08:14I just cannot wait.
08:16It's daddy was just a wet blanket.
08:18No, but I cannot.
08:21I've been to a theater recently.
08:23It's just like that type of movie.
08:25Actually, the holidays are the only time.
08:29It's the only time where there's a chance.
08:31And I think the last time I went to the theater was probably like took the kids to see Spider-Man
08:37like four years ago and came home and got COVID.
08:41And that was it.
08:42And I'm like, I don't think I've been back to the theater since it used to be my favorite
08:47thing to do.
08:48But it rains over the holidays and we're all together.
08:51All right.
08:52Maybe.
08:53Okay.
08:54Maybe.
08:55All right.
08:56Real quick.
08:57This is we're going to play this because it's breaking news.
08:58This is Kyle Shanahan on Purdy.
09:00If he's concerned long term about the injury, I don't want to say there's long term concern.
09:05You know, we got the MRI on Monday.
09:07We thought he just needed some rest and really weren't concerned about him not being good
09:10this week.
09:11But when he started up Thursday, just surprised him, surprised us how it felt.
09:16So we had to shut him down and several of them don't want to think of it.
09:18You know, the MRI doesn't look like that.
09:20So it should be all right.
09:21But on the way it responded this week, it's really up in the air for next week.
09:24So we'll have to see on Monday.
09:26No, boy.
09:27He's so good.
09:28No.
09:29No.
09:30Brock Purdy Sunday.
09:31The fact that he had an MRI.
09:32He had an MRI.
09:33That's also not going to play.
09:34Forget what it showed.
09:35For me.
09:36Yeah.
09:37The second that we got that news yesterday is when I thought, well, he's out because
09:42the only you're doing that because something is wrong.
09:44You don't.
09:45Yeah.
09:46Exactly.
09:47Feeling the way they thought it was going to feel.
09:49That two step of pull them off the field and go straight to the MRI machine.
09:53Right.
09:54You're not playing on some way.
09:55And x rays are for bones.
09:57MRI is for soft tissue, muscles, tendons, ligaments and the rest of it.
10:01So that's where stuff like.
10:03Yeah.
10:04If you break your leg, you get an x ray.
10:06And it's like, oh, yeah, it's broke.
10:08It's broken.
10:09It's spinal.
10:10But if you get an MRI, they're looking for that, that tissue stuff and sore shoulder.
10:14Who knows which one of those ligaments is.
10:16Sometimes you just get dealt a bad hand.
10:18And I feel like the Niners on an injury front this year.
10:21Well, I'm in the Cowboys.
10:23Cowboys have been dealt a bad injury.
10:25Cowboys have been banged up.
10:26Injury.
10:27The Lions lost.
10:28He gets a ball.
10:29Lions lost.
10:30The Cowboys lost in the offseason.
10:33Hello.
10:34And I'm really banged up, too.
10:36The Lions lost Hutchinson and haven't lost since.
10:39So let's not talk about the Niners being snake bit.
10:42But he's the guy.
10:43He's their quarterback in the defense.
10:45He is not the guy.
10:46And their defense is their offense.
10:48He was ZPO.
10:49Talk to me.
10:50The offense is the strongest side of the ball.
10:51Talk to me, man.
10:52And they have been blessed with unbelievable help.
10:55It's OK.
10:56And they have the best offensive line in the game and all of those things.
10:59So, yeah, again, again, I know we're obligated not using it as an excuse.
11:04You're allowed to.
11:05It's a big part of the Niner story this year.
