John Cashman: Hello.
Welcome to Niners Talk. Well, boys, it’s the third Victory Tuesday in a row. How are we feeling?
Brian Caynan: Excellent.
Tim Cashman: good. We had victory Friday. We had a stress-free football watching Sunday. Yeah. That’s the way I like to spend my week.
Brian Caynan: I am feeling good. I’m feeling excellent. I, uh, you know, these Thursday night games, they’re so, they feel like so long from the Thursday night game to your next game, which is obviously like 10 days, but, it feels good to come outta that with a win. Obviously you all know if you lose the Thursday night game, I feel like that feels so long, that 10 days between, you know, to the, to the next game, and especially if you have a loss, like you’re just, you’re just wanting
the next game to happen. So, yeah, but I’m feeling good.
I’m feeling positive.
Tim Cashman: Okay. But yeah, 49 ERs, but the 49 ERs went out on a short week. They took care of business. As you said, they’re 3-0 and they did it without one of their top players, Brandon Aiyuk. And I think we can probably put to bed some of the, what, what we spoke about after the Rams game about Brock Purdy’s horrendous performance because he missed four passes.
I haven’t seen too much on social media about Brock Purdy being a terrible quarterback as of late. Yeah, I think that thesis has been completely debunked.
John Cashman: Yeah, I would agree with you. And then for those of you who are tuning in for the first time, I’m John. I joined with my brother Tim. My brother from another brother Brian.
Brian Caynan: Yo.
John Cashman: We are three obsessed Niners fans who talk Niners games each week. If you’re listening, you like it, give us a thumbs up, give us a like, give us a review. We’re just doing this, so it’s just fun for us. So whether or not anybody listens we’re to keep pushing outta the content because you like talking Niners ball. So I’ll be the first to admit, and you, you can kind of either a half tear in my Niners fan card. I, I did not watch a lot of the game. I was actually in Wisconsin, golfing in Kohler, Wisconsin.
I had played Erin Hills the day before and Erin Hills walk is like seven miles. So I was a little, I was a little tired. and then the next day I did the Meadows and it was another six mile walk. And then somebody decided that whoever had the highest score would buy a round of shots and that person decided tequila would be the drink of choice. And I don’t like tequila. And because , I haven’t had a tequila shot in 30 years and there’s a reason why, and I discovered that the reason is still true. I ended up going back to my room and just chilling out and then I fell asleep and then woke up and realized the Niners won, and then watched the highlights the next day.
So,
Tim Cashman: John, I forgive you. I think Brian forgives you The Niner fan base. I don’t know. The jury is still out, but we still love you.
Brian Caynan: John, there are some tequilas that probably aren’t as bad as probably the one you took. So I. Um, you know, hope, hopefully next time when we all hang out, we can have some,
John Cashman: no, ain’t gonna happen.
Brian Caynan: No.
it’s not gonna happen. Oh,
John Cashman: Uh, no,
Brian Caynan: i, I will bring some,
Tim Cashman: I will have a sip of whatever you’re having. I will have a sip and go. Nope. It’s like gin. I mean, people love their gin. People love their tequila. I just know what I like. And those two are not one of ’em, particularly tequila. Anyway, ,
Brian Caynan: moving on.
John Cashman: is named Niners Talk, not gastrointestinal Problems by Agave. So, , obviously great victory, uh, from what I could have seen and read. Niners did a pretty good job of dominating, , the game. There’s the meme going around of Daniel Jones looking at the Niners defense, literally like a deer in headlights.
And I totally understand. I wouldn’t wanna be Daniel Jones back. There’re even for $40 million. But, , Tim, just some overall thoughts on the game, , what you saw.
Tim Cashman: Yeah, I think, you know, 49 ERs dominated this game. , and when you look at the statistics, you would’ve thought this game would’ve been over by halftime. Uh, it wasn’t. But you look at time of possession, almost two to one, , on the in favor of the 49 ERs defense only, uh, giving up, , 150 yards. But the first statistic that I went to as soon as the game was over was I felt like the 40 Niners were constantly in third down.
, and the 49 ERs, I, they were in 16 third down situations. They converted about nine of ’em. But just to give you some scale of that against the Rams, , the 49 ERs had nine third down situations. So, , it leads me to a couple of points. Number one, , the four Niners were able to convert. They were able to convert when, , they, they, they had to.
, secondly, it goes to show how much the, the Giants were really bringing pressure on first and second down. Uh, the Giants astounding statistic. They brought a five man front. Well, they blitzed, , 85% of the time in the game, which is amazing. But the 49 ERs, they countered with quick slants. They countered with screens, and they, and they have the, they have the Playmakers, they have a Divo, they have a C M C, they have Playmakers that can convert on third down.
, they’re able to keep the Giants D on the field, Daniel Jones off of it. , and that just led to, uh, a victory that, , frankly, the, the Niners had this game well in hand in the first half. Um, and yeah, they’re three and oh, uh, and now it’s onto the Cardinals. But um, yeah, overall just, um, they just went, they just took care of business.
Bottom line.
John Cashman: Brian,
Brian Caynan: Tim,
you stole a lot of the stats I was about to bust out. But, , especially the time of possession
Tim Cashman: I’m sorry. I did, I did not do that deliberately. I did not do that Deliberately. Well, maybe, maybe I did. Maybe I did.
Brian Caynan: the Niners had the ball, what, 39 39 minutes and the, the Giants
had the ball 20 minutes, a little over 20 minutes. , I think the one thing that also stood out to me, aside from all the stats you said, Tim, was that, the 49 ERs pretty much had a pretty balanced attack between the run game. in the passing game. They were like almost 50 50 minus the two sacks that that Purdy took. So, , they looked pretty, I think they’d really had a game plan in place. They were gonna go with the run, they were gonna go with the
pass. , and it all kind of worked out pretty, pretty nicely. Um, I think one thing that also stood out to me in terms of, of this game was, yeah, Purdy was blitz like 80, 85% of the time, but he definitely had his check downs in
place. He was able to make those throws. , if they looked bad he was gonna throw it away. , but he did get saved a couple times, I think early, , on Aaron throws
that, that that kittle and uh, uh, I think it was Deebo who, who saved it from being a
pick. So, um, but that was early, you know, he was obviously, I think it was a little rest. , but overall I’m happy with the game, John, and I think it, it worked out well. You know, for, for our guys,
I.
John Cashman: My overall thoughts is that the Niners just had a really good game plan in place to execute on a short week turnaround.
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: Uh, and I think if you’re a defensive coordinator and you’re watching game tape of the Niners and you see that Wink Martindale defensive coordinator of the Giants Bliss, 85%. It didn’t phase Brock Purdy. You’re sitting there trying to figure out like, what am I gonna do
So, , but let’s go over our keys to victory, because I think these were interesting. I thought we had some pretty good keys to victory that I don’t think the New York Giants subscribed to our podcast cast.
Tim Cashman: maybe not, but there’s Hope
Brian Caynan: Probably not.
John Cashman: There’s, oh, uh, the first one was, , Daniel Jones got some wheels,
Tim Cashman: Yeah.
Brian Caynan: Oh, yeah.
Yep.
John Cashman: didn’t use ’em.
Tim Cashman: No,
he had
John Cashman: run, Tim?
Tim Cashman: twice. Twice for, , a total of five yards.
Brian Caynan: Yeah,
Tim Cashman: no, that, that surprised me. I, I thought that, you know, and I went back and I looked at the game that the 40 Niners played against the Giants in 2020. , there were a lot more designed quarterback runs, quarterback draws. I do wonder why they decided not to, uh, use Jones, uh, in the way that we thought, , with, , being a mobile quarterback, my, my best guess is that, well, maybe the Giants thought that, Hey, we lost Barkley.
We’ve got Jones. He’s basically our only offensive weapon. Do we, do we really want to expose him here? Or are we trying to make, this about the entire season? So, uh, yeah, that was a surprise. Um, and as he said, John, I mean, um, the pressure was getting to, uh, to Jones. Fort Iers had two sacks, but you could see in the second half they were really bringing pressure.
He was missed on his throws. He was clearly unco. He was clearly uncomfortable in the pocket.
John Cashman: , Brian, do you know what kind of defense the Niners were playing that would they have even allowed the mobile quarterback? Was, was Fred Spying? Did, did
Brian Caynan: I was gonna say, I was gonna say that I, I did see that the Niners and Tim obviously called this out already, but the guy, , Steven Wilke, uh, Steve Wilkes calling five guys on the front. So they did
that. I don’t know for how much of the time, but I wonder if that had anything to do with Joan’s decision not to, well, maybe the, the coach’s decision not to run Jones too much because obviously you don’t wanna get beat up and,
John Cashman: Mm-hmm.
Brian Caynan: . So I was kind of thinking that was going to, to happen there.
Yeah.
John Cashman: Tim, do you think we’re gonna see that five man front again? I think we’re going to.
Tim Cashman: I, I think definitely, , we’ll see a lot of teams bring, you know, a five man front, , the 49 ERs, , particularly in the first half. I, I counted up I think six times. They were in a, a second and eight, a second, and, and 10. , and, and that’s what Kyle Chan does not want to happen.
He, he wants to get five . Six yards on, on, on first down, you know, have the second in shorts, , where he really can open up, , his playbook. But, you know, at the same time, we know that the 49 ERs are gonna get that kind of of pressure. But look at the way they countered it, you know, Brock Purdy getting the ball out, getting those quick slants.
, and two plays come to mind with those blitzes. , they were both on the drive that ended with, , Ronnie Bell’s touchdown. But, , then Iers had a third and 15 in their own territory, and they ran a screen to Deebo. , and I have to give, I have to give a shout out to Aaron Banks. He had, he did a tremendous, , terrific blocking on that play.
But Deebo does what only Deebo can do, and he makes people miss, and he makes people, , miss, miss Tackles or, you know, he fights through tackles and he gets a first down. Uh, on that same drive, it’s third and 13, , the 49 ERs, they run a screen pass to McCaffrey. And at , this point, actually, Buford was out in front of him this time, but he gave McCaffrey space.
We know what McCaffrey can do with space. He gets the first down. So that is so demoralizing to a defense when you’re bringing that kind of pressure. And then it ends with, , pretty throwing a ball off his back foot, right? Only where Ronnie Bell can get it, uh, for his first N F L touchdown. So, um, you know, we know the four Niners gonna face pressure, but look at the Playmakers.
They have to, uh, to counter it. And that’s what happened here.
John Cashman: So the other key to victory we thought was gonna be Brandon iu. Brian, were you surprised he didn’t play?
Brian Caynan: Yes. And for fantasy reasons, yes, I was definitely surprised. He, he, he didn’t play, but , And I’ll tell you guys after this as we reach into that, but, , from, from a fan perspective, no, I didn’t, I actually was not surprised he did not play because he looked like he got what he landed on his shoulder and it, it didn’t look like he needed some time off.
So especially with the short week, I was not surprised he didn’t play. , and it just gives him just the extra time he needs just to get in place. I, I don’t know if he’s gonna play this weekend against, , against the Cardinals, but, , you know, whatever it takes, I think to, to, to see him kind of rest up and be ready for, for the rest of the season, especially against Dallas the following week.
John Cashman: Yeah, I, he’s been back at practice, but while Brandon IU didn’t play, Tim, Ronnie Bell stepped up.
Tim Cashman: He did.
John Cashman: What was his final line?
Tim Cashman: , I, let’s see what, what he has as I’m looking it up. But, , as I’m getting that he had three plays, , that I, first of all, congrats to him on his first N f l touchdown. I mean, , all three of us watched him in the pre-season, and we just thought he, we just thought he was a gamer. , so, you know, with that, so Ronnie Bell, uh, he actually had, , two receptions for 24 yards.
One, of course was the touchdown. , but he had two other plays. I, I thought that he, he stood out. , one was in the first quarter, um, which Kowski , had given a great punt, and Bell got down there and made a terrific tackle. , and the very next play, Nick Bosa, sax Jones, almost on the one yard line.
So that completely flips the field. , and I think the, the game was tied at that point. And, , second quarter, , I, I, Brian, you mentioned this, uh, pretty throws I think to deebo. The ball’s batted up way in the air. , I’m ready for an interception, but he makes a heads up play to grab the ball. Uh, uh, so, you know, uh, gold Stars, Ronnie Bell.
, we thought this could be the game. He stepped up and he did. He made some terrific plays and, uh, like I said, gets his first N F L touchdown.
John Cashman: Awesome. And then I thought they actually handled the short turnaround really well. the one, and again, it’s, it’s in their home stadium and they’re traveling back from, from la so not, not a big, and it’s also early in the season, so it wasn’t a big, , turnaround, but they looked, they looked, from what I saw, they looked like they still put a lot of energy and
Tim Cashman: Mm-hmm.
John Cashman: flying around
Brian Caynan: Yeah, definitely did.
John Cashman: they looked good, but
Tim Cashman: they look fresh. They look fresh.
John Cashman: which, you know, good on them. So, , Brian, one of the things they, they we’ve been having and our keys to victory each week was taking care of the football. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the Niners had a turnover and have they had one this year,
Brian Caynan: Well, no turnovers in this game and I’m trying
to think. I don’t
Tim Cashman: I can’t think of one.
Brian Caynan: I, Hey, I can’t think of one either.
John Cashman: I don’t think they’ve had one yet. Knock on wood
Tim Cashman: No,
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: knock on wood on that one.
Tim Cashman: no. I think they might be plus five, maybe plus four, plus five in turnovers right now. , I can’t think of one. Purdy I know is not thrown in interception. That was, um, that was, uh, being thrown on on uh, Twitter today.
John Cashman: Well, I mean, we gotta knock on wood. , he’ll throw one eventually. , but so Brian, the other part that was nice to see is
Brian Caynan: Mm-hmm.
John Cashman: wasn’t the C M C show.
Brian Caynan: it,
it was not,
John Cashman: Elijah Mitchell.
Brian Caynan: you’re right. It definitely was not. And I I wanted him, I, I expected him to get around 30 to 50 yards in the game and , I don’t know his final numbers, but I think he was around 40 ish. Um, but yeah, I was really happy to see Elijah, , get some, , Get some, , rushes. Um, so that’s good.
I, I was expecting to see that. And speaking of, of Elijah, the reason why I was kind of happy to see him, I was sitting in a, at this, uh, this brewery, I, I was watching the game at pre-game and they were saying was Elijah Mitchell gonna get over under 31 and a half yards to start the game. And I was thinking it was gonna be over. And so, , and so that got me kind of thinking. So I, I, I, I, was happy to see him get his numbers, , today or last game. So what did he get? He got 42 yards,
11 carries 42 yards. Yeah. So good stuff.
Tim Cashman: Yep.
John Cashman: Yeah. He also looked good, the plays that I saw him when I wasn’t asleep. , he looked
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: , he looked like he looked like the Elijah of old.
Tim Cashman: Yeah. And we’ve, we, one of the things that I was looking forward to this year was that, you know, if we have a healthy, , Elijah, we, you know, and C m C, that’s a great one too. Punch to have. Uh, and then bringing in like a Jordan Mason to really finish off a defense. This is just what we had looked at, um, or what we had anticipated.
We only get, really gotta see that once last year, , when the 49 ERs played. The Cardinals who I know we’re gonna talk about in a few minutes here, , but has had some, some injuries he’s had to deal with. , so hopefully, knock on wood, uh, we don’t see the injury bug rear its ugly head. , but this could be, you know, it, it’s sort of like the same philosophy of the 40 ERs defensive line, you know, keep rotating fresh people in, , and against the tire defense.
Here comes Elijah. Here comes Jordan Mason. , and they’re starting to pick up those five, six yards at crucial moments,
John Cashman: Yeah. The last key to victory. And honestly, if the New York Giants had followed our game plan, it would’ve been a closer game.
Tim Cashman: because,
John Cashman: Uh,
Tim Cashman: ‘ cause everybody should, should listen to our podcast and follow our game plan.
John Cashman: shoot self and foot. Did we have any big mistakes?
Tim Cashman: , the Niners were dominating the game, but they, they were coming away with, um, uh, a couple cases, uh, field goals, , where I really thought, particularly in the beginning of the second half, they could have gone through the early knockout. But, , that doesn’t happen.
Um, they, they get pinned down in their goal line. Um, they give the, uh, the giants to short field. It all of a sudden becomes 1712, and there’s, it is a ball game. But on the very next drive, the Giants commit two crucial penalties, both on third down, , one was a defensive holding and one was an illegal contact.
And even though the 49 ERs only came with a wave, with a field goal, you just, you can’t, as a team, . Allow those, I mean, those, those just, those are, those are, those are absolute killers. , and at one point the Giants head coach was just screaming at the referee. But, , I think that was just out of frustration.
Uh, but that, that’s where the giants were, you know, committing a lot of just self, self-inflicted wounds. And we talked about earlier the Niners, they had the Niners in 16 third down situations. Uh, you gotta, you gotta take those, you gotta knock that percentage down if you’re gonna be successful. And the Giants did not, were not able to do that.
And that’s why the four nine ERs are walked away with the victory, or I’d say walked away, but came away with a victory.
John Cashman: Yeah. So yeah, if the Giants had followed our plan, I won. Oh, well in Giants. Don’t tune in Cardinals. who’s your star of the game, who?
Brian Caynan: , I am gonna go with, well, I was gonna say the 49 ERs offense first and foremost because, and it is just from a pure statistical perspective, , I. They did hold the ball for 39 minutes and 10 seconds, as we talked about earlier, , versus 20 minutes and 57 and 50 seconds versus the Giants, , the, the attack was pretty balanced between, you know, the 2 39 rushing plays versus 37.
I just think overall the, the Niners had a really good game plan for the week. They were gonna have a balanced attack. They were gonna give you steady dose of C M C and Elijah, and then Purdy was gonna be able to throw the ball to Kittle, , Deebo, uh, and, and Bell and whoever and whoever else was out there.
So I think that’s, that was my star of the
game, the coaching.
John Cashman: Cool. Tim.
Tim Cashman: , I gotta go back to Ronnie Bell. I mean, I’ve already said, um, what a great game he had, but I’ll go back to his touchdown, , catch, you know, he’s a rookie, , but he has the awareness to, to get both feet down, , inside the pylon, uh, for a great catch. And, uh, you know, like I said, you know, we were really impressed with the kid in, in preseason.
So he’s got my star of the game.
John Cashman: Cool. Well, my star of the game is gonna go to Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy is delivering the most unspectacular spectacular season. it’s spectacular, spectacular season. I, I. I think we can ever really think, and I think sometimes the problem with the national media is they get so fixated on some of these guys who can make some amazing throws and do some amazing athletic things.
Justin Herbert comes to mind, Lamar Jackson, , but they don’t really win football games and they can make some pretty big mistakes. And Brock is just Mr. Efficient and kind of unassuming. , I’m, he’s got swag, but he is not like, you know, really out there trying to put this ball into, you know, tight, tight windows.
He is basically, he’s hitting the right play at the right time and he is just playing really, really well.
Brian Caynan: Know, there was one,
John Cashman: free football and yeah, Brian.
Brian Caynan: there was this one play. John, you’re talking about Purdy. I, I think it was probably in the first quarter when he threw this ball up to Kittle and , I thought it was going to get picked, and I don’t know if Tim, if you remember that, but it looked like it was just outside the defender’s reach. And I thought the defender was gonna come in and take that ball,
but he threw it on a dime. To Kittle and, and Kittle got, I don’t know, maybe 20 yards off that play. But I, John, I think I’m just impressed by the way, he’s kind of matured and , he’s kind of grown up and
he, he doesn’t look fa unfazed at all. He doesn’t, he doesn’t look like he’s rattled in any way, , in these situations. So,
John Cashman: Yeah. Eventually he’s gonna have a bad game. , he’s gonna, he is gonna lose one. It’s just this gonna happen. , but everything I see, just, he looks, looks great.
Tim Cashman: Well, he had a
John Cashman: the game to Brooke.
Tim Cashman: He had a bad game against the Rams. He missed four passes.
John Cashman: Yeah.
Tim Cashman: Wait, were those four interceptions, or No, that was four passes. Okay. I, I thought there was a, uh, I thought those are pretty much the same.
John Cashman: Yeah.
Tim Cashman: Excuse me if I’m coming off a little sarcastic, but, uh, I’ll, I’ll throw one thing out there, John.
I, I think the 49 ERs as a team, they don’t have , the personality, the marketability that I think a lot of people in the media tend to, like, they, it’s just, it’s never been, I, I think you can even go back to the Bill Cher, they’ve never been the national media darlings. , they really haven’t had the fantasy of Football star.
And you know what , we, you turn on first, take you, you turn on get up, and the Niners are always, , not the main story. They’re always, you know, somewhere in the middle of the road. But, you know, the 49 ERs, I, I think that always plays to their advantage because people look past them, they think they’re soft.
, and then one of my favorite lines of all time, John, you know where I’m going with this.
John Cashman: Mm-hmm.
Tim Cashman: And here comes this team from Northern California. They’re bringing this guy, they’re bringing that guy, they’re bringing the other guy, and it’s like, whoa, these guys can play. So it’s one of those things I think we’re gonna see, , for years to come with the, with the Niners in the national media.
John Cashman: Yeah. So I was actually talking to my, , girls about this at, at dinner, and I said, you know, the only way that the Niners should become more of a national story is if someone on the Niners starts dating Taylor Swift. And we couldn’t think of anybody that was really readily available
Tim Cashman: yeah,
John Cashman: to date her, so she’ll just have to stay with, ,
Tim Cashman: can, can I tell you how much I love the fact that you’re talking about this at the dinner table? I think just, it goes, it just goes to show what a, what a fabulous , parent you are, John.
John Cashman: I teach him the real things in life
Tim Cashman: Absolutely.
John Cashman: , Brian, any other stars of the game?
Brian Caynan: . Well, our buddy Deebo, , he did have a, , that great other, he had what, over a hundred yards, , receiving. I. Um, and he had that one touchdown
play, which, which, um, I wanna say it was in the end of the
second quarter.
I,
John Cashman: he was actually
Brian Caynan: up today.
John Cashman: Mm-hmm.
Brian Caynan: But yeah, he had a game, but he looked like
he got, he got hurt a little bit and um, you know, he had always looks like he always gets hurt just a
little bit.
Like if he’s doing those tough runs,
it seems like he always seems to fall on the ball or, or something. And then he looks like he’s only gonna have to go to the sideline and then sit something out and then, you know, one play later, he’s back in the game.
So, um, yeah.
Tim Cashman: yeah.
John Cashman: Yeah.
Tim Cashman: I’ll throw one other.
John Cashman: surprised
Tim Cashman: Yeah.
John Cashman: uh, Devo sits out the Cardinals game. , but we’ll, we’ll see.
Tim Cashman: Yeah, they got, they got, yeah. I’ll throw one more guy in there just because, you know, when I, when I read about, , just the pressures, uh, just what he’s doing in the middle, uh, and that’s Jevon Ken Law, you know, we’re not seeing stats from him like sacks or anything like that. But, you know, the more and more I, I see from what coaches are saying, from what players are saying from an analysts are saying, it’s like this guy is holding his own in the middle and he’s making it very difficult for teams to run.
, which is definitely what the foreigners are gonna see against the Cardinals. So, , John, I don’t know. I don’t know if we’re going to that just yet, but, , I kudos to, to, to jevon. Uh, he’s coming out from a, a, a, you know, a horrible, um, injury. So I hope he continues to improve and continues to, uh, you know, hopefully get some big plays, in front of certain people in the media.
Brian Caynan: And, and
you know, we also,
John Cashman: I agree. Uh, I think he’s really done well.
Brian Caynan: We also didn’t hear Colton MCTs name this week in any way whatsoever. So, you know, that
line’s holding that line’s holding up. So, you know, no, no issues on that side.
John Cashman: Well, no, it’s not all sunshine and lollipops. There’s places we can improve. Brian, what do you think? The Niners can improve a little bit.
Brian Caynan: Well this is, , on the note here, um, Drake Greenlaw, , that’s what I was gonna, that was, that was on my list of things like,
John Cashman: Mm-hmm.
Brian Caynan: know, he, he had a couple of, uh, personal fouls and then, you know, that’s something he’s gotta work better on. And then Trent Williams, I know he probably got riled up and he’s gotta stop smacking people around.
I’m, I’m watching that live and I’m like thinking
Tim Cashman: just not.
Brian Caynan: that
Tim Cashman: don’t smack people around after the play. If you wanna do it during the play, we don’t have a problem with it. But , yeah, he threw a right hook. I thought, whoa. That could get, that could, that could
Brian Caynan: thought he was gone. I thought he was gone. ,
Tim Cashman: Yeah, I did too. I did too.
Brian Caynan: Yeah. But that, , that would be my thing of places
to
John Cashman: , we’ve seen Dre do this and he just can’t do it. We haven’t really been in a tight one yet. I mean, the Rams was, was pretty close, but you don’t wanna just, drop d Prescott down all of a sudden if the Cowboys 15 yards, you know, or do something to AJ Brown when we’re fighting for a number one seed.
, he is been known to do this and then quiets down towards, you know, the. The, any other places that the Niners can get a little bit better?
Tim Cashman: , I said the Niners really had a chance to do the knockout punch early, but, you know, things happen in football. It’s an imperfect game. , giants make a game of it in the third quarter, 49 ERs. They go down, they get a field goal, they get another stop, they get another field goal. And then the dagger, you know, of course, uh, was the touchdown pass, , to Diebel.
And, and let’s just throw another gold star at Brock Purdy. , he had pressure, you know, in his face on that one, and he threw an absolutely perfect ball. , and also the one to, to bell, I mean, he’s throwing off his back foot, puts the ball perfectly. , so there’s another, there’s another, uh, kudo to, to Brock on that one.
John Cashman: Yeah, no, I agree. So before we get into my, uh, my gambling results of the week, anything that from week three that stood out? I mean, there’s a lot that happened on
Tim Cashman: Um,
John Cashman: We got to actually see it all.
Tim Cashman: Don’t take any team lightly. Dallas, I’m looking at you.
John Cashman: Okay.
Brian Caynan: and, and I’m.
John Cashman: anything lightly, Brian.
Brian Caynan: Okay. I’m, , looking at the Miami Denver Broncos game. That was just a crazy,
Tim Cashman: Oh
Brian Caynan: crazy game that, that’s where my mind went on Sunday. I know you’re going
with the Dallas, um, Dallas Cardinals game. I’m going with the Broncos and Dolphins game. That game was
absolutely nuts. And whoever
Tim Cashman: Bri, Brian,
Brian Caynan: nah.
Tim Cashman: Brian. If If you’re Sean Peyton. If you’re Sean Peyton, what do you tell your team after you lose 70 to 20
John Cashman: It’s all way
Brian Caynan: I have I Oh
man.
John Cashman: obviously for me, , the most interesting thing that I saw was Taylor Swift is an economic force to. To be reckoned with. They should just give her a franchise and I’ll tell you why she showed up. There was a 400% spike in Travis, Kelsey jersey since Sunday. Kelsey’s podcast now ranks number one on Apple.
Kelsey added 383,000 Instagram followers. 24.3 million viewers watched the game. It was the number one game of the week suck at Chris Collingsworth. There was a 63% jump in female viewers, ages 18 to 49. Just give her the Los Angeles Chargers and have her fire that coach and put her in charge because she’s gonna do a better job.
Tim Cashman: John. John. John. John. We’re here to talk football, not economics and not social, you know, societal things. What you read in the style guide, you need to shake it off.
John Cashman: okay, she’s a mastermind.
Tim Cashman: you didn’t, you didn’t like my joke. Come on. The irony, the
John Cashman: I thought I was pulling a blank space.
Tim Cashman: I thought I was pulling a, uh, a clever
Brian Caynan: have a lot of style. You got a
lot of style there.
Tim Cashman: I, I try. I try.
John Cashman: Okay. And dad jokes are now gonna be retired. So let’s look at John’s betting results from week three. So this week I was three, three, and one. Overall, I’m nine, eight, and one. While Tim loves field goals, I fucking hate field goals. I have two field goals that have cost me two Betts and yes, Sean McVay knew, the Saints guy, like I was in Wisconsin.
Like everybody was sad in their cheese curds. Like literally like I was at the bar like, oh, we’re down 17 to whatever. Like, oh, this is gonna be bad. Jordan loved, give him credit, came back, but the Saints could have won on a field goal and he missed. Of course, , Tennessee lost and they looked lost. , I was a really surprised that the Browns laid one on, I won Detroit, you know, they did a pretty good job against Atlanta.
I was really close with the Raiders. I think if Jimmy had not been knocked out cold, , I might have actually been on the winning side of that one. , one with the Eagles, uh, eagles looked, looked pretty good on, on last night. And then Carolina and Seattle, which was odd because Carolina had the red rifle of Annie Dalton going for Bryce Young.
And, , they scored enough points. The same with Seattle. So that was a, that was an under that I lost. So, so, yeah. So, um, so yeah, but I’m still in the, in the, the, the green, you know, nine, eight and one still ahead. But looking, and then my survivor pool, I. I had the Niners, they did it.
So we’re moving on to, to week three. So, so this week or week four? This week, um, I’ve got, uh, it’s Steelers minus three over the Texans. I don’t think CJ Stroud’s gonna stand up against Watt. , the Vikings minus three and a half over the Panthers. So while the Vikings are oh and three, when they should have been one and two, because the Chargers almost coach, almost lost ’em another game. , their offense has actually been pretty good. , and Kirk Cousins has actually had quietly had a nice season. , they just haven’t won, so I’m picking them over the Panthers. Uh, the Browns, , picking minus two and a half over the Ravens. The Browns D is legit. Uh, when we face ’em, they’re gonna be a problem.
Their offense is hit or miss, but Miles Garrett is, is right there with TJ Watt, Michael Parsons for Defensive Player of the year. The Rams I have plus one and a half over the Colts, which I thought was a really small line. I saw the Rams last night. They looked pretty decent, , against the Bengals and the Colts.
don’t think their quarterbacks going. So it’s gonna be Gardner Chu, , the Rams offense is with that Pack ua. We saw ’em looking against the knives. They look great. They look good.
Brian Caynan: Their run
game’s a little
John Cashman: last but not least, Um, but I think, I think against the Colts.
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: know, I, I think one and a half is, is way too small.
And then last but not least, I got bills in Miami. I’m betting the over of 53 and a half. This game
Brian Caynan: absolutely.
John Cashman: like 45 to 42. , that is gonna be a track meet. , and then for my survivor pool, , uh, I don’t think Zach Wilson’s gonna shake it off because I got Casey over the Jets.
Tim Cashman: So you do like my joke,
John Cashman: Yes, I do. So Brian, you wanna talk a little prop bet?
Brian Caynan: Yeah, you know, I was telling you guys earlier, I was sitting , in the bar last week watching the, the beginning of the Niners Giants game on the, the pre-game show was on E S P N. So they were just talking it, it was a show on Betts.
They were talking about prop Betts for this game, and then I just talking about Elijah Mitchell and then what’s he gonna get over 31 and a half.
So it got me thinking, okay, so let’s just, let’s incorporate Prop Betts in here, and let’s just bring in two that I saw this week. That I thought maybe we can kind of just kind of talk about. So the first one, the over under on C M C rushing is 86 and a half yards, 86.5 yards. Do you think he’s gonna go
over that
John Cashman: I don’t,
Brian Caynan: or under that?
Against the cardinals? I,
John Cashman: I think he’s gonna go over it, but I wouldn’t bet it because 86 and a half is a big number.
Brian Caynan: that is high.
John Cashman: The Cardinal’s defense has been decent. I mean, they, they, they had the Dallas offense to a, you know, not a lot. Uh, so I think that one’s gonna be a tough one. , he’s been on a roll of the last three weeks, but 86 and a half he is gonna be, is gonna be a high number.
So, , if I had to bet it, I’d do over, but I don’t, I don’t think,
Brian Caynan: You don’t love it?
John Cashman: I think it’s just too high to bet. Yep. What else you got?
Brian Caynan: , Brock Purdy, , this was 225.5 passing guards. Do you think he’ll go over or under?
John Cashman: So this one, I, I think he’ll go over and I do like this one and I like it because
Brian Caynan: I.
John Cashman: one, the nirs are at home. They’ve had a lot of rest. And unlike C M C, Purdy is not gonna be taken outta the game, , unless you know it’s a blowout. And if it’s a blowout, then he’s probably passed for 225 yards. So, I like this one. , I think, again, I haven’t seen the Cardinals defense enough to see how many times they blitz and their style, and they’re also a relatively new coach. , but I think, uh, given the pension for the Niners to do a five yard slant, take a 25 yard downfield. I think he’ll, he’s gonna pass that number. So I do like this one.
I may actually bet it.
Brian Caynan: Okay, cool. Yeah, I was liking them
both also, so.
John Cashman: it’s just the 86 and a half is a big number for a running back. , I mean, know, he was, he was down in the sixties a couple weeks ago, , on those props and, and they’ve definitely raised it up. Um, what would be more interesting might be if, , C M C has a touchdown, , I would bet that, uh, because I think he’ll break Rice’s consecutive record if he gets one more. , in fact, Tim, is that right?
Tim Cashman: I would have to confirm that. I don’t know that off the top of my head.
John Cashman: Okay. Well, speaking off the top of Tim’s head, it’s time for Niners trivia
Tim Cashman: woohoo.
John Cashman: So Brian, what do we got this week?
Brian Caynan: So this week we’re playing the Arizona Cardinals. So question number one, what city did they originally, uh, originate from? Or what city did they originate from,
and what is their claim to fame in the N F L?
Tim Cashman: Uh, well, I think the,
John Cashman: say they started in Boston and then they moved to St. Louis and then they moved to Arizona. I, their claim of fame is they once wore mono colored socks. I have no idea what their
Tim Cashman: Oh, okay. I, I don’t know about that, but, , uh, no, it was the Chicago Cardinals, , their claim to fame, uh, the only thing I can think of is when they were in St. Louis, they, both the baseball and the football team had the same mascot, both the St. Louis Cardinals.
Brian Caynan: Okay. All right. We’ll go with that. Question number two, what year did the Phoenix Cardinals change their name to the Arizona Cardinals?
Tim Cashman: Ooh. Ooh. I’m gonna say
John Cashman: 1989 That’s all I got.
Tim Cashman: Okay. I’m gonna go with the, I’m gonna say 1997.
Brian Caynan: Okay, let’s move on.
Question number.
John Cashman: public enemy re reference because of
Brian Caynan: I got it.
Tim Cashman: I, I love, I love it. I love, I love it when you throw your, the rap references at John, I mean, we’ve already got Taylor Swift. Why, why stop there?
Brian Caynan: You guys,
oh my God. This is, this is, this is such a cruel summer that you guys are just doing this here. guys didn’t get that
John Cashman: Very good.
Tim Cashman: , of course I got that. I do, we do have, we do have daughters. Brian
Brian Caynan: I
swear. That’s what I listen to all the time in the car
John Cashman: Brian, I can, I can remember eighties lyrics to a song, but forget why I walked into the kitchen,
Tim Cashman: Yeah.
Brian Caynan: I get it. I get it.
Tim Cashman: Next question.
Brian Caynan: , when the cardinal switched from the N F C to the N F C West in the realignment in 2002, who was their starting quarterback?
John Cashman: Neil Lomax.
Tim Cashman: No,
John Cashman: I know it wasn’t the only yo Max
Tim Cashman: I’m gonna say it was around 2003.
John Cashman: Carson Palmer. That’s gonna be my guess.
Tim Cashman: No, it wasn’t Carson Parmer. Um, and it wasn’t Jake Plummer. I think he already left to go to, you know, I’ll go with Jake Plummer. I don’t think it’s right, but I think it’s Jake Plu I’ll, I’ll go with Jake Plummer.
Brian Caynan: All right. And
then last question,
John Cashman: maybe it’s Matt Leonard.
Brian Caynan: it wasn’t minor. I think he,
he won the championship, right? So that was in oh 5, 0 6,
Tim Cashman: Liner was in college.
Brian Caynan: yeah.
Tim Cashman: yeah.
John Cashman: All right, Neil Lomax.
Tim Cashman: yeah, yeah.
Brian Caynan: Neil Lomax. Final answer.
Tim Cashman: retirement home. Yeah. Next question. Yeah.
Brian Caynan: All right,
John Cashman: Burke? He’s always part of these things.
Brian Caynan: All right. Number four.
, where did the Arizona Phoenix Cardinals first play when they first relocated to Arizona? And for bonus, what year did the Cardinals move to their new stadium?
John Cashman: uh, Arizona State I think is where they played,
Tim Cashman: Yep. Sun Devil Stadium.
John Cashman: I’m gonna go with, , 2010.
Tim Cashman: Uh, I think it was a little earlier than that because I think in 2008, I think the Super Bowl was hosted in Glendale. So I’ll say, uh, I’ll go 2007.
Brian Caynan: Okay. All right, let’s move
on. Thanks guys.
John Cashman: out the first pitch? All right, well,
Tim Cashman: John and his Neil Lomax, , obsession.
John Cashman: there’s only so many Cardinals quarterbacks, so
Brian Caynan: know, I always, I always forget that that Emmett was a, Emmett Smith was a cardinal. I forget about that too.
Tim Cashman: I, I think a lot of people wanna forget that Emmett was a cardinal. I’ll just, yeah. I don’t, I think Emmett wants to forget that Emmett was a Cardinal
Brian Caynan: All right. Sorry,
John.
John Cashman: so moving on to the Cardinals.
Tim Cashman: Yeah.
John Cashman: it’s all right. Emmett Smith, Neil Lomax, Jake the snake, Carson Palmer will not be playing this game, but we are facing another mobile quarterback and Josh Dobbs. Has played pretty decently. I think, you know, the first game against the commanders, eh, you know, first day out, but he put up, what, 28 real quick against the Giants.
Tim Cashman: Yep.
John Cashman: He just beat Dallas. He’s got some game in him. And if you’ve seen all the highlights, he is always on the run. He’s always moving outta the pocket, left or right.
Tim Cashman: Yep.
John Cashman: So for me, one of the keys to victory again is you gotta contain the pocket. , don’t let him get outside. It’s a little bit like facing like Russell Wilson Light.
Tim Cashman: Mm-hmm.
John Cashman: Um, you know, it’s just, uh, he could be, he could be a problem.
Tim Cashman: Yeah.
Brian Caynan: Oh yeah.
John Cashman: and obviously I think the Cardinal’s gonna be feeling themselves. But Tim, what are you, uh,
Tim Cashman: yeah. No, I’m in, I’m in a full Grammy, uh, Dobbs. In the first quarter, he rips off a 44 yard run. You know, that really just, I think, set the tone for the day. , it was sort of basically a message to the Cowboys. Like, this isn’t gonna be a, a, a cakewalk. , he’s, he’s got some wheels, um, you know, at, at times he, he has made plays that make, make you scratch your head.
But when I looked back, um, I mean, this is where the, I was just have to, have to have to focus. When, when I looked back at that game, uh, and, and watched the condensed version, , a couple things that stood out to me from the cowboy side, I. Um, they had four drives in the second, all four of their drives. , in the second half, the cowboys got inside the Arizona 10 and they come away with six points.
So, key to victory, you’re in the red zone, you gotta put, you gotta put points on the board. , second is that the cowboys were flagged 16 times in that game. The cardinals accepted 13 of those penalties. , so that’s another thing is don’t make you know those mistakes because you know, by halftime, , Cardinals are up.
And, you know, even if a team is down, if they get that little thing called confidence, all of a sudden like . We’re in this game, we’re gonna fight. We’re not going to, , we’re not gonna back off there. And, um, you know, um, the, the Cowboys, uh, they, they made those mistakes. I don’t know if they were really looking past Arizona.
, but certainly they, I don’t think any of ’em expected a game like that. , they certainly were able to execute, but not, I mean, they were able to move the ball, but not at the right time. Not, not at the critical times, not on those four drives. They, they, they won in time of possession. Total yards was fair, fairly even.
, but they did not convert when needed. And they made, you know, mistakes at critical moments. So there you go. There’s your ball
John Cashman: had a, Dak had an interception, I think right at the end of the game.
Tim Cashman: He did first interception for Dak this year.
John Cashman: Yeah. Brian, what else are you seeing as a key to victory for the matters of the Cardinals?
Brian Caynan: Well, you kind of brought this up already with, , with Dobbs, um, since he’s gonna be playing for Kyler, since Kyler, iss still hurt, but, , I think Dobbs had like 55 yards rushing, um, against Dallas. And James
Connor, , the old back, he, he had almost a hundred, I think he was a little shy at 98, but he had some really
strong runs on the outside.
So, you know, the Niners gotta be prepared. Make sure they’re, they have their, their run blitzes going, or at least, you know, um, being there to stop the run. You know, the linebackers are ready. I think the Cardinals are really gonna be with their mobile quarterback. They’re gonna try to do a lot of, , pitches out to the left, to the right, and they gotta be ready. So I think just make sure they’re there.
Tim Cashman: Yeah. And, and you mentioned, you mentioned that run, well, actually, I, I don’t, I don’t think it was, , I don’t think it was Connor, it was, uh, it was Moore who had, um, a 45 yard touchdown, uh, in the second quarter that just sent the, , the, sent the cardinals to the locker room at a half with a tremendous amount of momentum.
, I think the 49 ERs, um, I, I think if there’s one thing in the 49 ERs favor maybe this week, is that the Cardinals may have played, you know, above, I’ll just say they may be coming off an emotional high of playing the Cowboys, and that’s really tough to try and replicate only a few days later against another team like the 49 ERs.
So that could be something where they have a, basically a, a bit of a letdown. Um, you know, we know the Niners can, we know that what the Niners are capable of. , last year they, they dominated, uh, the Cardinals in both their games. Uh, one course at Levi’s and one, I guess was technically a home game for the Cardinals, but Mexico City.
Brian Caynan: Mm-hmm.
Tim Cashman: , so, uh, yeah, I think the mobile quarterback, you know, collapse the pocket. Don’t give him the lanes. , don’t, don’t, yeah, don’t, don’t shoot yourself in the foot. Like you’re the cowboys, you’re the giants. So, and I, deniers can, can be successful and of course, don’t look ahead to next Sunday night
John Cashman: Yeah, and I’ll just say this, like, don’t look ahead. And while last year we dominated them, you know, and that was like a great game. Watch ’em in Mexico City. The years before the Cardinals have always been like a thorn in the side. We had the Colt Lacoy game, we had the Kyler Murray game where Jimmy had to hit Jeff Wilson, you know, in the last seconds.
Brian Caynan: Oh yeah.
John Cashman: mean, they’ve always, they’ve always had a, there’s always been a little thing with the Cardinals , and the Niners and yeah, don’t past the Cowboys. I also think. I don’t know what the Niners red zone percentage is right now, but it’s, you just, you gotta keep converting in the red zone.
Tim Cashman: Mm-hmm.
John Cashman: , and while Tim Lowe’s field goals, uh, they just don’t win football games.
So converting the red zone, uh, play, play, keep away, you’re gonna have to stop that mobile quarterback. , and then if, here’s Myla, the last key to the game. You know, IU has been practicing Deebo hasn’t, whoever is coming in, Jwan Jennings, Ronnie Bell, it’s time to step up, you know, keep it going. Um,
Brian Caynan: Absolutely.
John Cashman: and I think, I think the Niners can can take this game. So. Cool. Well, Brian, let’s talk a little fantasy football.
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: how did your team do, how did the Niner Nights do?
Brian Caynan: We, uh, lost, uh, because I happened to not pay attention to my own advice, and I forgot to move Iuk out, but I, I was gonna get killed anyway, uh, in my, in my fantasy game. So I did lose, uh, to my friend Missy. Um, but she had Justin Herber going and, and Keenan Allen from, from the Charger. So they had, they had really good games, the both of them. Um, so she kicked my butt, but I think, but John, on your side, um, you also lost, I see you got us, you
John Cashman: yes, the crusher’s lost and, um, it’s a, I’m, I’m a little bit like Sean Peyton trying to address the team right now I sat a guy who scored 47 points.
Brian Caynan: Brutal.
John Cashman: I mean, I didn’t even know you could score, score 47 points and it was just like, no name Dolphins running back. Did she drives a.
Brian Caynan: Hey, chain.
John Cashman: Um, Joe Burrow continues to, to struggle. Bryce Young’s out. I have to put Zach Wilson in there. I got a lot from Deebo this week, but, um, league is not, you know, I don’t have to get a tattoo if, uh, I finished last. So,
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: so let’s just see, let you guys take it one week at a time. And, uh, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you tie. Um, so we’ll see. But yeah, I’m gonna keep it going. So anyway, Brian, us what these, uh, trigger questions have.
Brian Caynan: Before we jump to that, I didn’t realize that the Cardinals coach, Jonathan Gannon, was the, was the DC for the Eagles last year, and uh,
Tim Cashman: He was
Brian Caynan: I did not realize that until I just read that so, Hmm. Interesting. Need to make up
John Cashman: Yeah, he, uh, his biggest issue is they, they just, they don’t have as much talent. Um,
Brian Caynan: No.
John Cashman: I think he’s gonna have them in the right places, and I think he’s gonna have the, the right kind of, might have the right schemes and play similar to how the nirs go with big defensive line, but they just don’t have the talent yet.
Uh, and they’re, you know, they’ve got a big problem with Kyle Murray’s contract and what they’re gonna do with it and all that kind of stuff. But, you know, obviously they’re, they’re, they’re not the Bears and they’re not the Broncos, so already got ’em well ahead because everybody thought that was gonna be the worst team.
Tim Cashman: but the bears in the Broncos are playing this week, aren’t they? So something has to give
John Cashman: The dumpster fireball. It would be awesome if they tied, they just
Tim Cashman: come on. We, we have family members who might be listening.
John Cashman: I actually might bet the tie in that game
Tim Cashman: Oh,
John Cashman: at that point. At that point, you have to make an argument that this might actually be scripted. Holly got Taylor Swift as a guest star. I have no
Tim Cashman: I, I don’t know. I don’t know.
John Cashman: So,
Tim Cashman: All right.
John Cashman: anyway, Brian, what are the answers to our trivia questions this week?
Brian Caynan: All right. Arizona Cardinals, where did they originate from? So they actually started in Chicago. Tim, you got it right. They actually started off as a team called the Morgan Athletic Club in 1898. So they are
Tim Cashman: Wow.
Brian Caynan: contin, the longest, continuously run, uh, football team in the us. Uh, so they started at 1898, uh, as a Morgan Athletic Club.
They switched over to a name called The Racing Normals. The Racing Cardinals, and then, because I think that was a street they were on in, in, in, Chicago, south side. And then they became the Chicago Cardinals, uh, in the twenties. And then, um, yeah, and then they moved to St. Louis in 60. Uh, they were there from 60 to 87, and then they moved to Phoenix in 88. Uh, so the one the one question I was gonna ask you about, like, and what’s their claim to fame besides being the original? Uh, one of the, sorry, one of the cont uh, run teams was that they were also them and the Chicago Bears were one of the original teams from the N F L when it first started. So
Tim Cashman: Hmm.
Brian Caynan: never knew that. Uh, okay. Um, what year did the Phoenix Cardinals change their name to Arizona Cardinals. John, what’d you say?
John Cashman: 1989.
Brian Caynan: That’s also Taylor. That’s also, that’s also Taylor Swift’s album, by the
way.
John Cashman: Yeah, I know. See how I double layered it? 1989
Brian Caynan: Okay. Sorry. Uh, Tim
Tim Cashman: Yes. I said 98.
Brian Caynan: Okay, sorry. , they changed their name in 19 March 17th, 1994. So for the 94 season,
they became the Arizona Cardinals.
Tim Cashman: okay.
Brian Caynan: When the cardinal switched from the NF N F C East to the N F C West in 2002, who was a starting quarterback? John, you said
Tim Cashman: I said Jake Plummer.
Brian Caynan: Neil Lomax.
And Tim, you said
Tim Cashman: Jake Plummer.
Brian Caynan: it is Jake Plummer. Good job. He was there for one year
and then he, then he left to become the ,
Tim Cashman: Went to the Broncos. Yeah.
Brian Caynan: there you go. Okay. Uh, number four. Where did the Arizona Phoenix Cardinals first play when we relocating to Arizona? Correct. Both you guys. They did play at Sun, sun Devil Stadium from 90 19 88 to 2005, and then they went to their new
stadium, which I think was University of Phoenix Stadium in
Tim Cashman: Yeah.
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
Tim Cashman: Yeah. I think they call it State Farm or whatever it is these days.
Brian Caynan: Yeah.
John Cashman: which we’ll be visiting in December.
Tim Cashman: Yes.
Brian Caynan: there you go. Absolutely.
Tim Cashman: All right. I think that’s it. I think we need to wrap this
John Cashman: Brian.
Tim Cashman: and.
John Cashman: Brian, some final thoughts on the, , the game with the Giants or the upcoming game with the Cardinals?
Brian Caynan: I am gonna be going to the Cardinals game this weekend, so, um, I won’t be able to
do all the replays like I, I, you know, it’s won’t be as seamless to see things going on, so I might have to text you guys to find out what the heck just happened or something like that. But I will be at the game this weekend,
so looking forward to it. Yeah.
Tim Cashman: you, you can text John. You, you know, you know, I won’t be able to answer because I go in silent mode.
Brian Caynan: are you alive,
Tim Cashman: Uh, that’s why I check in at the end of the game or with the game when the game is no longer in doubt. I say I am alive just for our listeners.
John Cashman: It’s like red Orach lighting up his cigar. So
Tim Cashman: I just get a little tense, , final thoughts? Yeah. Uh, hey, you’re three and oh, this is where we wanted ’em to be.
Uh, I on the prize one game at a time. , let’s, uh, let’s get the Cardinals into town. Let’s take care of business.
John Cashman: I’m feeling really just really good about the Niners right now. It’s been fun to watch. We know at some point they’re probably gonna lose just based on. Stats, but, , they’re, I think they’re gonna have to lay an egg at some point to lose or they’re just
Tim Cashman: C, can we not end with a buzzkill like that?
John Cashman: can I finish?
Tim Cashman: fine.
John Cashman: Or someone, so someone throws a scheme they haven’t seen, but I don’t think that is this team.
I think the nirs uh, be able to take care of business. They just look, when we talked way back when about the offense being really special and, and the d they really, they look in mid-season form it’s only week three. I, it’s just, I’m really excited about the rest of this year, just watching ’em, uh, we got 14 more games and I’m, I’m excited about every single one of ’em.
So on that note, Niners Nation, peace out. I’m John, joined by Tim and Brian, and all we have to say is,
Tim Cashman: Going nine ERs.
Brian Caynan: Go Niners.
John Cashman: Everyone.
