00:00All right, Mike Tirico on the call on NBC, 49ers are in a shambles, they lose 35-10 to

00:20the Buffalo Bills and now we got issues up and down the roster.

00:26What's going on?

00:27I missed you, glad to be back, but I'll say this about that, Stiney, I feel like you got

00:33to call the dogs off now, like Fred Warner on a fractured ankle.

00:39And I was just sitting there and Evan had sent the tweet and it kind of read my mind

00:42like dude, look at these conditions, but he's out there.

00:44I saw Gladiator 2, one of the greatest movies ever made.

00:47He was being a gladiator out there on a fractured ankle.

00:51But Stiney, the way the game started and watching the Niners and McCaffrey before the injury

00:57kind of run up and down the field, I'm like, well, here it goes.

01:01Could they pull this off and for everything to transpire the way it did, and now you're

01:06sitting there five and seven, Stiney, I'm thinking about the future.

01:11If I'm the Niner brass, Fred, you need not to play, Trent, I don't, and thoughts and

01:18prayers with his family, what he's going through.

01:20But Stiney, you can't risk the biscuit when you talk about key cogs and Fred Warner and

01:26Trent Williams to me right now are that they can't play another game.

01:31It's not worth it.

01:34OK, but what are you saving them for next year?

01:40OK, and they're going to be better next year, healthier next year.

01:44I don't do you have?

01:45I don't know.

01:46I mean, I don't I don't think you do that.

01:48You know, wisdom would be if you know, you don't want to like the McCaffrey situations,

01:53Stiney, the before last night's, you know, getting re injured.

01:58You kind of just want to you think not playing.

02:02You're getting better, right?

02:03I don't think so.

02:05Like I don't.

02:06So you would keep Fred out there like this?

02:08You're still you're still you still got to get mathematically eliminated.

02:12That's the way I feel.

02:13I mean, and I don't believe for one minute if you sit these guys the last five games

02:16the next year, you're going to come out guns blazing.

02:19I think the problems are bigger.

02:21To come out guns blazing from a physical standpoint, well, and you're right about how long how

02:27long can you expect older guys to keep playing at a high level when now they're showing you

02:34that there might they might be on decline?

02:37They might.

02:38Christian McCaffrey may be in decline.

02:39He may never be the same for you.

02:41OK, and you know that opportunity.

02:43So what's rest going to do to help that?

02:45I don't.

02:46Well, he's I don't see it.

02:47I think he's done.

02:48I don't think he's coming back.

02:49But you are right.

02:51You just gave him a new contract.

02:52So moving forward now, you do have you do have a baby beast mode.

02:58But as far as McCaffrey being a prime McCaffrey, that's why I kept saying that the Super Bowl

03:02loss hurts so much because you don't know if you're going to get back.

03:06But I'm looking past him, Fred Warner's in his prime.

03:09And again, I'm sure, Stani, the doctors told him you can't make it worse.

03:13But what are you really playing for if you can't stop the run, if you can't score in

03:18the red zone?

03:20And we saw that again last night.

03:22Well, I just don't.

03:23Here's my thing.

03:24You're five and seven.

03:25Well, and you're two games out of first place.

03:27You still have a couple division games left.

03:30As dire as it sounds, yeah, I'm not shutting people down now unless they physically can't

03:35play.

03:36I mean, you got the Bears next week.

03:40Got to try to beat the Bears, get to six and seven, get some help.

03:43So you're still going for it.

03:44I think you're going for.

03:45Well, I just don't understand the benefit of rest of of packing in the season right

03:51now.

03:52Well, you know what?

03:53I need to pack in the season with five games left to save guys for next year.

03:59That's just that's just like you're just hoping at that point.

04:02But and again, this is just me.

04:05I'm not saying I'm right.

04:06But isn't McCaffrey exhibit a.

04:08I mean, he's hurt.

04:09He's hurt.

04:10Then he's not going to come back and play.

04:11But if he can play playing on a fractured ankle, what are you?

04:14You need to look yourself in the mirror.

04:16You're not that good.

04:17You're not going to win it.

04:18I don't believe the Niners are winning the Super Bowl this year.

04:21That's where I'm at.

04:22That's why I would tell Fred, we love you.

04:24You're a soldier.

04:25Sit your ass down because you're not playing like old Fred when you're out there.

04:30Why are we risking making something worse to where it goes into next year?

04:34And the Niners are that team.

04:36Everything has come up there while the coyotes, Donnie, everything is blown up in their face.

04:43With caution, treat your diamonds like they're not diamonds.

04:47Fred Warner's not a diamond.

04:48They're not a good team.

04:49Well, they're not a good team.

04:51And you're going to rest players.

04:53You got to think about the.

04:54OK.

04:55I don't think it's time to do that.

04:57I mean, what I saw with Fred two weeks ago when they lost to the when they lost to the

05:03Seahawks and people are like, they're done.

05:06Why didn't you just start resting guys then if you thought they were done for one?

05:09I didn't know your best linebacker was playing with a broken, a fractured ankle.

05:13That's one.

05:14And Stani, I was still the guy saying the math is still there.

05:17Well, it still is now.

05:18Yeah.

05:19I mean, it still is.

05:21And I guess is it worth it is to try to get in knowing you got or you can't stop the run.

05:27I don't know what's going on with the quarterback.

05:29I'm not blaming him for the loss.

05:31Why not?

05:32But I'm telling you, if it's for me, Brock Purdy is going to get the Jonathan Kaminga

05:37treatment.

05:38So we'll have to do something.

05:39So who's playing?

05:40So is Brock Purdy going to play the last five games?

05:42Yes.

05:43So Purdy's going to play with no Warner, no Trent Williams.

05:47I mean, I just think I just think it's too early to give up on the season.

05:52If guys can play, that's what they got to do.

05:55And I'm telling you, right, Stani, the math is still there for them to win the division.

06:00But if Fred is not going to be Fred, what are we really doing?

06:03Now he's not Fred.

06:04We've talked about it.

06:06I kept telling you he's playing on one wheel.

06:09No excuses.

06:10But that's why I was kind of uncanny that he came out and said what he said about, you

06:15know, I'm playing.

06:16I'm taking a shot every week.

06:17So you want to quit?

06:18Essentially.

06:19No.

06:20No.

06:21I'm thinking about the future.

06:22I'm being responsible.

06:23How?

06:24Like Fred Warner is not playing like Fred Warner.

06:26You understand that, right?

06:27And we found out why.

06:29Well, and if he's going to continue not to mirror himself, why are we running him out

06:34there?

06:35That's all.

06:36Because you don't have a better alternative.

06:37And you've still got to try to win games.

06:39All right.

06:408-8-8, 9-5-7, 9-5-7-0 is the number.

06:45Niners get demolished last night, 35-10.

06:48McCaffrey gets hurt.

06:50And Purdy's not very good.

06:53And the defense can't stop the run.

06:56And they throw for less than 100 yards.

06:59They turn the ball over three times.

07:00Yeah.

07:01I mean, that's what that's been the story this season.

07:05But the one thing that I let me tell you, I guess what I'm out on is, oh, well, let's

07:11let's rest everybody now and get ready for next season.

07:14Now, you know what?

07:15To help me out, I didn't say it's like, why do you think they're getting hurt?

07:20Because they're older and they've they've they've played so many games in the last five

07:24or six years.

07:26I don't know.

07:27I guess I'm not arguing that.

07:28But I mean, fluke stuff happens all the time.

07:29It's a collision sport.

07:31And Fred fractured his ankle.

07:33You know, last year they didn't get hurt by injury.

07:35This year they did.

07:36No doubt about it.

07:37So and they haven't they haven't overcome it.

07:39And the fact the fact of the matter is they had games early in the year.

07:42They should have won.

07:43They could have won.

07:44They didn't win.

07:45And now they are hurt legitimately.

07:47The last two games they've been hurt.

07:49But when they got shot out that great, that's exactly so.

07:52So why are you resting guys for next year?

07:55If you were a 500 team and worse all year long?

07:59Like I don't I just don't think football is a sport where you magically just bring everybody

08:02back and well, we lost games last year, but we'll win games next year.

08:06You're too early for that.

08:07I got you.

08:08But you're fixated on everybody.

08:09I'm talking about Fred's daddy.

08:10I can't remember.

08:11Trent Williams.

08:12What do you do with him?

08:13Can he go?

08:14I don't know what I don't know what to do with them.

08:17But I'm telling you this.

08:18This is why I kept honing in on errors.

08:22And you get so many chances and cracks at it with this iteration of the Niners, man.

08:26This team, it's eroding around them and they're going to have to have some uncomfortable conversations

08:31or real conversations within those walls or just about what you do and how you do

08:36it.

08:37And then the crazy part, Stiney, is if you can do it.

08:39I mean, Brock Purdy, I take the L. I sat there and told you 60 million.

08:44I would not do that now.

08:46And you said, who are you?

08:47I'll give that to you.

08:49But I mean, you don't what did Bob Myers say?

08:52You don't got to do anything good, Stiney, until you have to do it.

08:54But I mean, to have him come back and quarterback next year and delay or need to see more, you

09:01know, and how many times I give Kyle credit for his players not throwing anybody under

09:04the bus.

09:05Kittle after the game, who showed the week before in conditions he could catch balls.

09:10I don't know why, Stiney.

09:12I'm coming in.

09:13I'm putting it on everybody how he only has two targets.

09:16And he said he was open.
