00:00Bigger picture to Scotty the identity of San Francisco and I understand Christian McCaffrey's been hurt

00:06I understand the injuries to IU and George Kittle in and out of the lineup

00:11But you know, they have not looked like the same offense at all

00:14They're struggling to find an identity. The defense has been abused by better offenses Debo Samuel

00:21I don't know if you saw this week. They called him out and said, you know, you're struggling

00:26He said oh, I'm just not getting the football which is completely baseless and not true because he leads the team in terms of drop passes

00:34He's fumbled a kickoffs and fly sweeps this team

00:39even if they do let's just say

00:40Win one or two games big picture if they were to make it to the playoffs somehow some way

00:46I still think they'd be one and done with Shanahan

00:49Yeah, they're the perfect version of the Cincinnati Bungles

00:54Everyone's holding on hope for Cincinnati, you know that they barely beat Dallas Monday night now

00:59They're still mathematically alive and just get in and they're the most dangerous team blah blah blah blah, right?

01:03But it's Natalie's gonna happen with Cincinnati. Oh, he's gonna happen with San Francisco and Debo particular Joe

01:09you know, he hasn't had more than

01:1125 not not a hundred or seventy five or even fifty

01:16He hasn't had more than 25 yards receiving in the last four San Francisco games

01:22You know just when you need this guy to step up with McCaffrey being out you being out, you know, I like him

01:28I probably take him on my team, but I wouldn't pay him top top dollar, you know

01:32Yeah, what he's the classic football player. He just is to me, you know

01:36He finally gets paid big-time big-time bucks and the production disappears

01:40They just whatever it takes for them to be successful

01:42These guys a lot of them anyway stop doing it and it feels like he's stopping doing it 23 yards 22 yards 20 yards

01:48I mean, that's it. You get that at one catch let alone an entire game and he hasn't done it

01:53And we're getting the rushing attack outside the week one matchup against the New York Jets where I believe he carried the ball

01:59Seven eight times and they they grinded out that victory with Jordan Mason on the ground

02:03He hasn't been utilized in regards to the rushing attack at all

02:07Not the same way not the same type of explosive plays in terms of the reverses and him breaking

02:13Contained and just making touchdowns

02:15So I do agree with that Juwan Jennings to me is the most consistent player on that offense

02:20He stepped up not just in terms of third downs. He leads the team in terms of

02:25Receiving yards touchdowns now over the past couple of weeks Brock Ferdie does go to Juwan Jennings more than he goes to anybody else

02:33He's the one player at least you could buy into but I'm not buying into the spread either and I understand that Chana and his own

02:40McVay in recent years

02:42But even though they're at home lay in three

02:43I would probably take the points and I even like the Rams on the money line

02:48Based off the performance on Sunday against the Bills. Yeah, listen over the years

02:53Yep

02:54it's been dominated by Sam Fran right 23 and 10 and 1 since 2008 9 and 3 their last 12 meetings, but

03:01The Rams have won the last two

03:02so for me

03:03You can throw all that previous stuff out the window bottom line is the Rams won at the end of last season

03:08And they won earlier this year so there's no mystique at San Francisco or Shanahan has over McVay

03:14Like I said, I I like the Rams as well this week
