See your Bay Area Chevy dealer today. Based on latest competitive information, it excludes other GM vehicles. Now back to MIRFIN Marcus on the Sports Leader, streaming live on thesesportsleater.com and KNBR, the Sports Leader app. He's a straight drop from under center. Burdy loads up, Burdy throws down the middle of the field. He's got the Marcus Robinson, and he catches it in the end zone. It's a touchdown, 49ers in Australia. And the Niners take the lead back. De-Rob, the Marcus Robinson, the former LA Ram,

right down the seam, a seam shot. Rock picks him up in his vision, and drops it right on the money. Really good job by the offensive line. But you got to love D-Rob coming out of the tight split. And again, the Rams are sitting back in those, it's like they didn't have the two safety look that time. They tried a little razzle dazzle. He gets behind Cameron Kitchens, and Brock puts it right on him. Really, really well done. Good execute. Oh, so great to hear Tim Ryan back on the calls. Guy Heyberman on the call. De-Marcus Robinson, what? I gotta be honest when he caught it, I had two seconds, whereas number 11, wait, what? What? What? He's back. B.A. Hell no. By the way, I wonder how he processed that game last night. Yeah, probably with a backup potato chips on his couch. Do I care? No. Yeah. And you should. Oh, my God. We've moved on from that saga. Rage Friday, Sound and Good, Rebellion rises. Ziggy Marley, Rebellion being the 49ers rebelling against the narrative that the Rams are a undefeated super team

to be featured on 60 minutes this weekend. And Rebellion, rebelling against the Rams, saying, oh, we figured out this sleep stuff. Peter Schreger saying, yeah, the Rams are saying 15 staffers over the years. Somebody wrote on Twitter like, yeah, because staffers played in a 60 minute NFL game against other NFL athletes. Yeah, because those 15 staffers had to line up against Nick Bose and Fred Warner. By the way, DeMarcus Robbins, and joining that list of like through the years, whether it's your favorite team for you, it's the Raiders, whatever, but kind of third or fourth receivers that you forget about, can I talk to my 80s crowd to the Mike Sherards? Hmm. Could never forget about him, dude. Mike Wilson, those guys who aren't Jerry Rice, aren't John Taylor, aren't, you know, Terrell Owens, are those guys the three and four guys? DeMarcus Robbins is one of those guys. You know, my Gavin shout out to my guy that we were talking about last week who was seen in the Walnut Creek scene, parting with John Dickinson, shout out to Kobe Ford. Very good. All right. Bang the number. You like that one, Walter. Let's go to Jose and Oakland.

He's a 49er fan. He calls in. He's frequently skeptical. Here at Jose has to say, good morning, Jose. How are you? What up, Jose? Hey, guys, good morning. Look, I was skeptical about, but I'd like him more to be honest with you. I remember Tyler used to mention, you know, his defense playing, you know, with unknown violence, and playing that type of rumor. Grant, they keep it in the other players, but I think more is the believer. Honestly, I mean, the defense, they were laying the woods. I mean, they were going like, they were going to like, fuel your collective money for the suppliers. I'm not talking about this, but it's a great way to say this. No more than what we paid. Oh, fury. Oh, nice. I mean, I, I, I mean, the moment I saw that, Ram's receiver getting, getting fan wishes and getting updates, yeah, that's the type of efforts we need to establish. If they want to play like that for the remainder of the year, then I don't like. I always said, you know, there is a chance. I don't know.

Good stuff. Hey, I know you're always skeptical. they always want to play better, but I'm going to hold my clutch on them. If they can take care of you for the next five games, they will get something. They're up in life flying. I don't know. The difference is going to have to carry this thing this year to be honest with you. Very interesting. You guys are going to be complementary. The stripling injury, again, is we haven't talked about Tonjus too, by the way. Tonjus, by the way, it's a huge play. Jose, thanks for the call. Good stuff. I'm going to highlight the defense. It's true. We need to talk so much about them. But the Tonjus injury, which is unfortunate in Kyle said it's pretty bad, led to a third down on the 99-yard drive. Who caught the third down pass that got them out of that hole? Frickin Luke Farrell. Luke Farrell. I said, not a tweet. It's a keep calm and Luke Farrell. Oh my god, because they were up against it and Luke, they ran that ball. They ran the ball into the gut. The first

play. Actually, they actually were off sides on the first play. And the Rams denied the penalty. Yeah. So it was still second 10 from the one inch or low. And then they found Luke Farrell for the first down. And that sprung the 99-yard drive. They're going 99 yards down the field. And then Brock finally is interesting about Brock and the legs. I love. I said this year, say at the round table, when I was quote unquote ripping. No, I wasn't. I was just saying I need him to be better. And he was better. He was really good. But the legs, he, I guess he talked about this somewhere, trying to be smarter with his like, is yeah, you don't want to run and get fricking hit by NFL guys. Shout out, Tray Lance in his career running up the middle and breaking his leg or whatever. But he didn't run forever. And there was a play in the first half when he held the ball and held the ball. I was like, dude, run it. And he didn't actually completed the pass. But in the fourth court, or was that the third or fourth quarter when he broke out his first run? Yeah, that like, it was an absolute wallop to the Rams. I mean, he was moving, picked up, I believe, 18 yards on that carry alone. And probably could have picked up a few extra yards. But with that smart thinking

went down to protect himself. I loved what I saw yesterday with the legs of Brock Birdie. Slid unlike Willie Atte, Willie Atte, Willie Atte, coming in like standing up in the whole play, Willie catching shots, Willie catching shots. Real quick. I did want to react to a Jose set about Rahe Morris because we talked about this going to the game yesterday. How I thought Rahe Morris could be the biggest ex factor. And it definitely looked like it yesterday with this 49er defense, holding the number one offense from last year to seven points. And yes, we could talk about the jet lag and whether or not that had an effect, which it obviously looked like he did. But the scheme that we've been talking about with Rahe Morris. And this is not a shot at Robert Salah, who's a great defensive coordinator. But a lot of times when you watch Robert Salah's defense, it looked pretty vanilla, like there wasn't a lot of exotic looks yesterday. We saw that with Rahe mixed in in some five man fronts, putting Fred Warner on the line of scrimmage multiple of times just to cause a little bit of confusion. Like I don't think you can ask for a better debut from the defensive coordinator standpoint with Rahe Morris. Kyle have a great relationship. They get along really well. And he has Sean McVase number. Like can we say that now after it's

performed slasher with the Falcons and the three interceptions he formed. Like we talked about Mike McDonald up in Seattle, maybe being the Kyle Shanahan whisperer and the solver, maybe Raheem is that guy for Sean McVase because everything in my life comes back to youth sports. I am now a, you know, a water polo dad. I still don't understand the game. By the way, I still don't. But I've watched our team go to Alameda two years and wrote and get their heads handed to him. And I said, at a certain point, bro, you just got to tip the tip your cap and call the Yankees your daddy. I was the tweet I sent a text to Tecklin back in Maryland. And for at this point in time, Sean McVase has to tip his cap and call Raheem Morris his daddy because he's tried to beat him twice and he's failed twice. So until further notice, we got Onich had fanage Raheem. Exactly. Watchdog and San Francisco's checking in on the big win. We've been riding the wave all morning. Watchdog. Good morning. How are you? What up? Watchdog. Morning, guys. Happy Friday. Oh, happy. Reggae Friday. Yes. Hey, guys, I just wanted to start off thanking Mark is for putting me on the prize pick because I

hit a four team or last night. Well, four player. You hit a four leg parlor. My man and Chet out. He had a four and out. And that was my first time playing. I hit a four leg. Let me tell you what I got time. I got time. What do you get that bonus? What do you get that bonus? I don't watch. Yeah. What'd you hit? I hit Brock Brock Pertie rushing for over 17 and a half yards. He had 29 yards. I had DeMarcus Robinson over only over 12 and a half yards. He had 50 yards. Okay. I had Eddie, Eddie P for one and a half. He had two field goals. And I have. Sorry to interrupt. He's my fantasy kicker. And I'm in a tight one with Danny Dunn. And that's a seven point swing because that he made it. It's five points and the miss is minus two off the freaking upright. That could kill me. I could lose this fantasy football game because of that kick. But anyway, on you go. What was your fourth pick? Watchdog. And my last piece. My last piece was Pukin to cool up over 62 yards and he has 74 yards. I hate that. A ram just muddied the water. I was going. I was enjoying your parlay until he got to Pukin. Yeah. Well, you do have to

pick two different teams. So you have to make some weird man. Yeah. Well, congrats, buddy. Oh, yeah. Watchdog. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What'd you take on the game? So thank you guys. So on the game, man, I'm still I'm still hyped up over here. You know, the nighters look good. The defense play really well. But my MVP was the Marcus Robinson. So what do you help me get some money? But I felt like he was the forgotten man this all season, you know, with Pearson coming back, you know, trying to try to make it come back into into the fold from injury. You know, the Marcus Robinson kind of held it down last last season and during the playoffs. I remember he scored a Philly. So I just felt like he wasn't getting his due respect. You know, with another number four receiver back in the day, Marcos. Mike Schumann. Mike Schumann. Yeah. That's really good, dude. I was going to ask you because I know I know watchdog you and I are more same generation than Marcus. I was going to ask you for I was going to jump ahead of me. I was going

to ask you for a number three or four guy. I like to mark as Schumann's great Mike Wilson's great Mike. So large great. Now I'm trying to find from the 2012 team that went to the Super Bowl. I'm trying to think of who that who that guy was. I'm looking at it right now here. 20 stats here. Real because Anquan Bolden was the was the lead guy, right? The guy we picked him up from the New York Giants back then. Mario Manning him. Is that you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, dude. There it is Kyle. Kyle Williams. Oh, no, don't bring that up. Oh, no, no, we don't even see that neighbor. Mario Manning. He has a good one. Yeah. Hey, watchdog. Congrats on your parlay man and buy yourself a nice steak and have a good weekend. Good one. Watchdog. There he is. All right. We got him. That got we got Mike Rico. Yes. Real quick. I just want to mention since we are talking price picks. Shout out to P1 Paul Texan in this morning. My price pick pick of the week was Mike Evans to have more than 48 and a half receiving yards. Casting yesterday Mike Evans 49 yards. Stick with Waldenburg. Let's go. Mike Kruko will do a little bit of Giants because we love Mike.

We can't mind. We're getting down to it. Final couple weeks of Mike and then back to the big hit is of course you guys line up your calls. 808 came here is a phone number. We'll start the big hit around 750 Kruko next on these sports later. This is Jorva. Chevy is called the heartbeat of America for a reason and Silverado keeps its rhythm. You feel it in the Turbo Max engine with best in class standard torque and available Z71 off road package that keeps you rolling when the road turns rough and the most functional truck bed with best in class cargo space. They're trucks that work as hard as you do so you can do more of what you love without missing a beat. See your Bay Area Chevy dealer today based on latest competitive information excludes other GM vehicles. There's no question we got the best in the prove. That's why Merth and Marcus catch up with crew right now right now on KNDR 104 5FM and 6 in the air. All right 49ers podger 49ers. Giant's podger this weekend. We'll get into it but Mike there you go 49ers. That's all we're talking about this morning.

I know you're a 49er fan going back to the 80s when you used to hang out with Dwight and Joe and they would come to Candle sticks. So what do you think of those 49ers last night Mike? God that was so much fun. I mean it was something the whole thing was a spectacle with over 100,000 people there and they were having a time. You know Kip and I got a chance to go to Australia in 1996. One of the giant investors Bill and Ili Marias they bought a team over the the Gold Coast Cougars. So they asked us to come down and we went down it's been eight days there and it was awesome. They make better beer than we do in most instances. The attitude of life is so refreshing down there. They're not afraid to have fun and the baseball that we saw was pretty good. It was like high A. We saw some them just some gamers guys. It just you know weren't great players

but just you could tell that they were baseball players and so we had a great time. So we kind of had a feel for what the 90ers fans were going through and I mean that's the ultimate testimony to how well the 90ers fans travel. There was a lot of red gold there and it was fantastic. So congratulations to them. We're happy that they're often running and I think it was a big win. I mean you didn't hear much about the 90ers. All you heard about was the Rams but hey in the end they go home and they shorten that trip up by about seven hours. I already saw some footage from the plane. They look pretty happy. Yeah. All right, Mike. You mentioned high A. There's a few things to talk about with you here is the Giants get ready to welcome the Padres tonight. And you mentioned high A and that San Jose. There was an incident last night or I shouldn't say an incident. There was a happening last night Jackson, Flora, the number four pick in the draft at a Pleasantins Foothill High School UC Santa Barbara pitch two innings last night. Mike. He he pitched well. He hit 100 on the gun. He struck out how many markets five four strikeouts four strikeouts. And Mike

most importantly, he struck out the beer batter to close out the second inning hitting 100 crowd one crazy and he doffed his cap to the crowd. So a little showman in him. I don't know if you got to see any of the highlights or at least read the box score and any thoughts on the slow emergence of this prospect. Well, I mean, it's the second time that you know we're reading articles about him. And I thought it was hysterically. He struck out the the beer frame hitter which you know you want to you want to do yourself to the friends. Well, that's how you do it. And you know, you know, he did it with a hundred miles an hour fastball. So he's pretty much as advertised. And I love the fact that he's a Bay Area kid because you know, he's not afraid to he's not afraid to have fun, which is kind of what happens around this neck of the woods. Yeah, and you can definitely win over some fans by striking out that beer batter now for anybody who's not been down to San Jose. If you strike out the beer batter, beer prices are half price for the entire inning. Mike, it's one of my favorite promotions in baseball, but you've been around baseball a lot

longer than I have. Is there any promotion in baseball minor leagues major league that is actually better than the beer batter? Well, I don't know if you guys ever heard a strike. Oh, but Striko was a deal that you would have a board kind of I'd say that it was probably about four feet by six feet and they would bring it out and they had a hole in it and they would bring a fan out or six or seven fans out. They'd stand at home to take and the Striko board was on the mound and then they get a shot to throw a baseball through the hole in the in the placard. And if you wanted, I mean, you could win anything from Turkey to a hole that they pay your rent from a month or whatever or just a running total cash. And so they were everywhere you went, they had a different version of Striko. And some of them were pretty easy to get that the hole was not big enough for the baseball to go through. Well, we were in St. Petersburg one night. I was with the

governor of the West and St. Petersburg was in there where there's an extremely a large amount of retirees that live in that area. Well, they brought this woman out and I bet she wasn't four foot eight and she had to be if she wasn't a hundred years old plus, I mean, she had to be when she came out and she was taking like two inch steps and whatnot and they had the Striko board and they moved it about a half way. And she steps up there and the Striko hole on a cigar, it was the smallest one we'd ever seen. And she gets back there and they had a running total of like $10,000 on it. Well, I mean, what you see the hole, you realize, well, this is a joke. Nobody's going to throw that thing through the hole. She steps up there and she threw a one hopper. They had a turf, which was kind of bouncing you through a one hopper and went right through the Striko hole and it loved aside. Each she peered it. And she was so happy. She started clapping and she did about three

circles with the clap and the place went wild and she went to grand greatest thing I'd ever seen. Wow. There is your answer. There was something better than the beer batter right there. That's so good. Last couple of things, Mike is Bruce Bochi said, Andy Bagley came in our show this week and said, Bruce Bochi hated the word spoiler because it meant you were out of it. But other people like the word spoiler because the Padres are in town and they're arrival. They're not the Dodgers, but they're arrival and they're you can hurt the Padres this weekend. So Mike, where do you come down to? Are you on the Bruce Bochi line where you hate the word spoiler or no, let's embrace spoiler. Well, I mean, nobody likes the role of spoiler. You just don't because you're out of it. You know, so here you are. What do you have left? Well, you have professionalism. That's what's left and you have to go out there and you have to represent. You have to play that game hard because you don't owe it to the player playing or the team you're playing. But you owe it to every team that's

in convention. You need to play it as if it's a playoff game and that's how you have to go about doing it. And you know, I mean, it's it's double it's short because you want to win. You want to ruin their party. But when you do win games like that, they're kind of hollow. I mean, there is it's yeah, when you know, we we just have to hurt them on that team. And but we're not going anywhere. I mean, this is a kind of reminder. When you're at this point of the year and you're on a salary drive, when it's yelling, you have laugh, but it's it's it's a real hot off feeling. I agree with Bochi. I mean, spoiler roll sucks. Mike, it's going to be Robbie Ray towing the rubber tonight for the San Diego Padres. And look, Robbie Ray is not like a lifelong giant who's only here for two and a half years, but was an all-star pitcher for the Giants. And I really think it was one of Farhan Zide's best moves, bringing him over in the Mitch Hanover trade. So what type of reception do you think will be tonight for Robbie Ray at Oracle Park? I think it'll be a good one. I think it'll get a nice applause. I mean, fans like them. I mean, he took the ball and you know, he took a lot of pride going out there

when that uniform, you know, he was very quiet, very professional. And but on game day, you know, he'd go out there and bring his game face and he wanted to do nothing more than win. And and I love that, you know, I mentioned professionalism earlier. And and he, I think, is a great example of it. And always has himself ready to go, you know, he works harder than me. So you, you know, you really, you know, interior self, guys like that, just the way they go about their business. Now, we'll be rooting against them tonight, of course, but it, I think you'll get a nice round of applause. He deserves it. Yeah. And Mike tonight or this weekend, this kid says our Prado almost going to pitch. I mean, listen, I know it's not the same as the 49ers beating the Rams talking Prado Mo 24 year, but he had a nice outing. He's another one of these guys who, you know, they're seeing what they got. Did you have any opinion on he's been he's thrown 10 innings, I believe so far. And as a 0.90 ERA, I don't know. I see in anything with this kid. Well, it's a small sampling, but I think this guy knows how to pitch. I think he is all about

upsetting the timing of the hitter. And, you know, I love the way that he uses the fastball on both sides of the plate. I love the fact that he can throw that change up at any time and finish it. I mean, a lot of guys, you know, who have change ups, they, they'll throw it in and they say they can throw it in any count. But can you finish it in every count? I mean, it's one thing about throwing a pitch, but the other one is is throwing a quality pitch, which is what he can do with that change up. His change ups got movement and he's got good command of it. He doesn't make mistakes up with it. So I just short period of time that I've seen him, you know, he, he looks like he knows what he's doing. He's he's very calm on the mound. He has a pretty good idea how to control the running game. He has a pretty good idea how to, uh, his rhythm's up when he's on the mound facing to a hitter. And when he's trying to hold a runner, I mean, those are those are really big keys as to whether or not you think a guy is ready to compete at the big league level. Not every guy we've seen, the last couple of years, who's come up from minor leagues has shown me that they know how to control

the running game. That's a big deal. You know, you, it's, it's, it's something that has been kind of, a source plot with me watching runners get leaves without, you know, pictures checking runners back having baste their steel bases standing up without a throw. That ticks me off. But I don't see that with predominant. I don't see with Malena. Yeah, I agree. And that's not my last one. You led right into it is Malena. So, you know, this weekend, you get to see two starting pictures who, you know, have a chance to make a name with the organization. I think the giants kind of like the Malena kid. He throws hard. We were talking to some of the giants guys who make these decisions and they said, you know, his Velo is is better than you think. And he's been a little bit effective. So what do you think of this guy Malena throwing the gas? Well, he knows how to use it. And that's the key. I think he totally understands two, two grips of the fastball. When to use a two seamer, how to elevate a four seamer. Once you've established the knee high location in the, in the eye of a hitter, these are significant things. They tell me that, you know, here's a guy that isn't just a thrower. You

know, he, he has ways of utilizing this stuff and maximizing their, their ability to get a hit or out. And I think that's important. I think it's especially impressive when you see young pictures that can do it. So I mean, everything that I've seen from them, I'm impressed with. And, and I really, you know, they kind of went my appetite to see the more. I think Malena's got three wins, right? Two. Oh, no, three. You're right. Three, no. Three, no. Yeah. So I mean, that's a great start. I mean, you know, we're so eating up a lot of velocity in the, in the, in the papers that, you know, everybody wants to see a high number of, of velocity. When in fact, what's more important, I'm setting the timing of a hitter. That's, that's what pitching is. I mean, it's great if you could, if you have a 100-mile an hour fastball, it'll get me wrong. I mean, the most guys know how to use that. But how do you enhance it? How do you make it even better? Will you do that with your other stuff? You do an understanding the grips of that fastball. And so when you see a young picture who has those capabilities, you get pretty excited.

So some things do. Yeah. Well, we do for sure. Niners already got to win in the books. You don't need to worry about the 49ers. So focus your attention on Anthony Malena tonight. Focus your attention on Say's Our Predominant Tomorrow. And I know it's a bad word, but spoil the podries. Why not? All right, Mike, enjoy three games of NLS baseball. And we'll talk to you on Monday. Got a bit Mike Kruecker. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. All right. 49ers fans. Big hit. Line it up. 808 KMBR is a phone number 27 to seven over the Rams. Take that Sean McVeigh respect planet Earth next time, buddy. There's a curvature Marcus. The jet lag ball goes to the Niners or was it more than a jet lag ball? Was it about Rahim Morris? Was it about Brock Purdy? Was it about Matt Stafford getting older overnight? All these things to discuss. 808 KMBR's phone number bang the number. That's the big hit.

Brock Burdy excellent Rahim Morris's defense stealing the show. All of these topics, Mark, as we've been talking about it all morning, you watch it last night. You come here this morning to you. You answer the John Joe Curly tease of the day was the biggest reason I'm going to still a take from the text line. Maybe just still a nickname. The guy that texted in quite simply saying Raskeem Morris. That was a listener. Right. He Morris. I mean, we talked about it all week long. He was my ex factor going to this game. Look, we know how much of an offensive genius Kyle Shanahan is and credit to Kyle the way that he scheme that opening drive with all those quick passes and screens neutralize miles, Garrett in the defensive line. But we've seen this offense with Purdy for 30. Put up points before we haven't seen a defense shut down the Rams like we saw yesterday with a fully healthy 49er defense, not even fully healthy because they don't have Samu and they don't have Alfred Collins and they don't have Mike Williams. But besides the point with Nick Bosa with

Fred Warner with Dre Greenlaw back on that defense to hold the LA Rams to only seven points. They were the number one offense in the league last year. Matthew Stafford is coming off an MVP season. Matthew Stafford did not look like a MVP yesterday. That was one of the worst performances I've seen from Matthew Stafford in quite a while. So to me, the ex factor was the defense Fred Warner, Nick Bosa and Raskin Morris. We have three TVs on in here and on the far right TV. One, so who are the two people you're looking at in the post case? I'm press conference Nick Bosa and Freddie Rico Warner. I mean, say it as many times as you want. Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, right? I mean, these guys in By the way, Bosa still wearing his dead head. Yeah. By the way, you it's it's yeah, it's a great answer by you. You're listening to KMBR AM and KMBR FM San Francisco, these sports leaders, a KML media station. I'm actually going to go with one that maybe might cause people to shake their heads and say, no, dude, that's not it. You're wrong. I'm going with the macro, the mentality. I'm going with the mentality approach. Like I watched that game and I just saw a 49er

team that was more committed to the moment than the Rams. And I think that whether or not you want to discuss sleep science or Peter Schreger's tweets or the Rams sending 15 staffers over two years or the Niners overthinking it. I read all these analyses. I just watched the game. I saw one team that was more ready to play than the other team. And yes, scheme, of course had a ton to do with it. Nick Bosa and Fred Warner had a ton to do with it. Renardo Green's interception had a ton to do with it. But I just saw a general mentality of a sharper as the great Ed Asner would say to a financial advisor on a casual Friday. I need you on cutting edge, man. And the Niners were on cutting edge and the Rams were not they treated it almost like they were treating like a cactus league game, bro. Split squad going out to good here. You know what I mean? So everything you said about our heem is totally on point. I'm going with the macro, the jet lag bowl respect planet earth. Sean McLeod. All right. There is a curvature and you guys treated it a little too lightly and all the arguments of it then what they did in London. Absolutely apples and oranges, bro. Not apples and apples. First while they were flying from the East Coast to London, which is only a five hour time difference

and not that long of a flight. When you're going the other way, bro, 17 hours and you kite in in the middle of the night. You don't know what day it is. So I mean, it's completely different. Now it is an international flight, but to your point, a much, much longer flight down to Australia. And unless those 15 staffers that have flown down there over the last two years were on the flight. I'd say 99% of those players coaches have never been on a flight that long in their entire life. And it definitely looked like it affected Matthew Stafford. It affected Miles Gary. For sure, it had an impact in the game. I don't want to discredit the 49ers with their win yesterday. But I think instead we should be given credit to the 49ers. Absolutely. For getting out there a week early, which definitely factored into the equation and getting their minds right. Who said it was it? March on Lynch. You got to take care of your mental care. Your mental care. Your chicken. There you go. Niners took care of their chickens and their mental. All right. All right. Anyway, KBR is the phone number. Dino, BamBino in the 559 leads us off. Big hit. We're wide open until 830. We have the cooler content. So Dino BamBoop, but Dino, BamBino. Good morning,

buddy. What'd you think? What up, Dino? Merf Marcus, my boy is, hey, dude, I got a name that has not been brought up this morning. Number 36 in that backfield right there. Siegel was an absolute animal yesterday. He was finishing tackles. And I'll tell you what, boys, I'd put him over Mustafa any day. This boy wrapped up, finished tackles and did not let guys blow by him. Those DBs, like Marcus just said, Rasqueem Morris. I'll tell you what, they looked 10 times better than they did last year and at any point. Number two, that pocket was absolutely just beautiful for pretty. He danced around all night, looked composed and was throwing lasers all night. And then when the pocket did collapse a couple times, his feet are the best feet of any quarterback that I've seen in a while. I mean, he is just absolutely cooking. And then number three, the rest yesterday, or should I say Vegas decided to

not throw many flags. And it was beautiful to see. It was pretty much a flag free game, which equals beautiful football. But that's all I got, boys. Hell of a game. Let's go Niners. Dino, three great takes. Love the call. Don't be a stranger. He's right. Niners only two penalties for 21 yards. Rams had only four for 43. There was a big 15 yarder with the Niners way that some Rams fans have said about the head to head hit that they called roughing on. Yeah, you can't do that. Right. But somebody was like, I was soft and there was a chop block, too. That's the NFL in 20 times. I also thought the PI on who they called it on either Lenore or Green. I thought that was light. Yeah. I think that might have been demo into Dino's point about Seagull. I mean, if you do want to have any criticism towards the defense and that defense of backfield, Jaya Brown whiffing on that all or nothing play where he tried to kind of jump around on Pukinakua that set up the Rams touchdown drive that led to them being up seven to three in that earlier, or the game. Yeah. And I want to turn out to he mentions Marquis Seagull who was second on the team in tackles. Fred Warner had 11 five solo Marquis Seagull nine total four solo tackles. So good point.

Nobody had mentioned Marquis Seagull. I will say this though. He was not in Mustafa. Mustafa set the tone on the very first play of the game, which was the kickoff. Then I just kicked off to the Rams and Mustafa flew down there and popped the Rams returner inside the 20. Honestly, I honestly thought at that point in time, oh man, the Niners look ready. I get ready to go. I mean, set the tone. Yeah, they did. It was it was actually kind of an important play, believe it or not, because all of a sudden the Rams went three and out and all of a sudden you're like, oh, you're not the super team that's going to be featured on 60 minutes this Sunday. Oh, by the way, I'm not joking. There's a 60 minutes piece that's going to air on Sunday about the Rams. Super team tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick. Yeah, I know. And you have to do homework the next morning. We'll shout out to these special teams from the 49ers, not just Mustafa set in the tone to start the game, but Debo Samuel set in the tone to start the second half huge that kick retouch to Debo. And the last like so much better than the last 16 yards were Debo because they tried to stop. We're in the 42. And he's good. He's like, I'm getting the midfield and then McCaffrey to straight runs. Oh, I'm ripping off chunks. Yeah. And McCaffrey fresh

because of K. Long Black. We talked about that all morning too. Raider Randi Raider Randi. And Alamo is calling in. Raider Randi. Good morning. You're on with Murphy Marcus. How you doing, Raider Randi? Raider Randi. What's up? Hey, good guys. Hey, first time, long time. Raider Randi here. You know, I went down to La Roca last night. And if you pop with my brother Raider Ralph and, you know, it's a sad existence out here for us behind enemy lines and, you know, growing up in the Bay Area, you know, seeing real good football like this is tough. You know, we're talking about how the Rams at a poor showing they would have spanked the Raider's little high knees. And, you know, just just watching it, watching the, you know, the city come alive high five in each other as I'm walking home last night just with the sour taste of my mouth. And, you know, you guys are talking about super team this, super team that I'm super pissed off that my dad let me pick the Raiders and I was eight years old. And he put me in a bad spot, man. So, you know, I think you guys,

Marcus is going to have to take this first one. Shout out La Roca. Glad you were there. That's Mark. That's John Joe Curley's place. So do you sympathize with the Raider Randi? Well, I can definitely relate to Raider Randi as someone who has had to experience what 18 or 19 different head coaches in my 34 years on this planet with the Las Vegas Raiders. But I should say, Raider Randi, if you're looking for any type of solution, maybe try getting hired at the 49er flagship radio station. It's made my life much more enjoyable. Uh, Raider Randi, I appreciate you sticking with your squad, though, man. Hey, good luck against the dolphins on Sunday, all right? I appreciate you guys. We'll be Raider Randi. Good call. Great call. Great call. Great call. Yeah, he's just sitting there. He's in La Roca's. People are high five in each other. He's a Raider fan. Yeah, it's tough being a Raider fan. Danny is in Richmond, California. We love Richmond. Danny, good morning. How are you, man? What up, Danny? Hey, hey, good morning, you guys. Hey, Danny from Richmond. Hey, real quick. Happy sound. Some of the e-brand. Uh, yeah, I'm going to be out there tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going to be out there on tomorrow tomorrow on the mountain, hustling. I'm going to my little ball gelato.

So we'll make you do a market. Oh, gelato. Gelato, Danny. I know you, Danny. Good man. Good man. I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully it's good. Cool down a little bit now. We did get the fog come in last night because they said on Wednesday, it was like the seventh circle of hell up there, about 190 degrees. Thankfully, I think the fog's in. It's good. It's always a great day. It's always. It doesn't even matter who Mike Nash books. It doesn't even matter. But yeah, well, it doesn't. Yeah, Mr. He's going to be there. Yes, there's going to be there. The Mr. guys combined say hi to me and my girlfriend, Chris. But you know what? That get a left right hand. Oh, yeah. Sonic V. Sonic V. She changes name to Sean McDumb. He had his team travel 15 hours on the plane to hop off and play a solid as solid as 49 or team. He didn't show the 49ers. No respect. So the 49ers put it on them last night like I've been saying all week. John McVeigh is Thomas Co. Tyber. He gave up like the vision thing. You only played 17 real football games. Six level more division. He gave that up. The Rams deserved to lose that game. I'm so glad to

say you guys the more Danny. See on the mountain. Great. Listen, I truly do believe it was whether it was arrogant or dumb or both. I told you when I saw them come off the plane, they looked cocky. They're like yucking it up. They're going on the walk. They was like, I see. He says, I don't really look ready to play. I think what is this? A split squad game in fricking Mesa? You know what I mean? So and he's right. It's and I've been saying it all morning because there are the skeptics and we get them all. And we see him on the text like, dude, you guys week one week, yeah, I get it's a division game. It's not they didn't beat the fricking jaguars in a non-conference non division game. They beat a division foe and that's going to help them in December. So it mattered. And there's no question that the 49ers, at least from the outside looking in, looked like they took this a lot more serious than the Rams did. I mean, you tweeted out last night that the Rams were tweeting this, essentially, as like a cactus league game, as a praise using game. All these games matter and still even after the beat down yesterday, Sean McVay kind of double down was not blaming the travel schedule. Here was Sean McVay after the game yesterday,

given his thoughts about whether or not their late travel plans affected yesterday's results. You know, I'm not I don't believe that that's why we didn't play well enough. I really don't. And I can listen, I'm more than comfortable with a that that's something that I'll always make decisions that I think are best for the football team. It's easy and high in sight to be able to say it was it was a miss, but those are responsibilities that, you know, I'll take and then you try to be able to look at it. I'll always look at myself inside out and figure out where I can improve Gary. Today was really just not good enough in terms of feeling the flow of the game, being able to give ourselves an opportunity to snatch some momentum when there was opportunities. Then think we communicated very well on both sides of the football. We obviously weren't very efficient in the kicking game either. And so they all played us in every phase. They deserve the win. I think that's really what it boils down to and sometimes sports can have days like that. And like I said, this will only define us if we allow it to and I'm looking forward to leaning in going back to work and today was humbling,

but sometimes life can do that to you. And we got a lot of football left and we're not going to allow this one game to to do anything other than help us learn and grow. You love here in the McVay Raspon. I don't know. And shots out Gary Klein my old LA Times colleague there. I don't know Gary. Yeah. But also Sean, you can't say that it didn't affect the outcome and then talk about how your team couldn't get into a flow. I'm guessing they couldn't get into a flow because they were dealing with some of that jet lag. Speaking about each other's tweets, you had one saying the Rams took a jet late and wound up looking like the New York Jets. Do all of a sudden do that jet lag turn the Rams into New York Jets. That was a completely different squad that we saw out there. And yeah, shut up to the 15 staffers that the Rams have been flying out over the last two years. Murf, everybody's got a plan until you get punched in the mouth and the Rams and those 15 staffers got punched in the mouth on the port. There was something about that shrager, Peter Shrager's and NFL network ISPN now. There was something about his, he not only did a tweet, he did a video thing on it too. Larry Krueger retweeted it. I hadn't seen it. He was as cocky as McVay. And I

guess he carries water from McVay, you know, certain writers do that. And I was like, this guy, you pissing me off. So I, we had a round table text thread going last night because Thin Tim sent the picture of us. And I've never addressed the entire staff on a text. I've never had all of us on a thread. We've never been on a group thread like that. We always just keep our show threads. Because you know, all the shows dislike each other. Exactly. We like to keep our show segregated. So, uh, so I just, I just decided to reach out to the entire thing and I said, F that shake, F that shrager tweet. Uh-huh. That shrager tweet. Here he is on the USB and eat and crawl this morning. Yeah. I mean, they can crawl. So anyway, uh, by the way, uh, Rams will host the New York Giants in week two. We'll see how that goes. A three one says, I want to punch McVay's voice in the face. Sure. Sure. Oh, there you go. Uh, for a way, it says, yeah, and I'd say to say there was a bad decision. Sean, my man, it was easy in real time to say it was a bad decision. Newsflash, it's 15 hours to the other side of the world. Your team is not invincible. You got destroyed,

eat it. Pow. It was obvious that the players were doing with the effect, but I also think Sean McVay, like he might have been jet lag with some of this play call on which the Rams being up seven three to stop running the rock that led to the Matthew Stafford interception. I don't know what the hell kind of play call that was and what kind of pass that was. We're ready to play, bro. Mike and Costa Mesa checking in from so Cal, let's go down there and in Ram territory. Mike and Costa Mesa. Good morning. How are you, man? Hey, what up, Mike? Hey, we know this is, we know damn well. This is in Ram territory. California's own. Yeah, by one team. All right. And the front runner, fair weather L.A. fans are already saying this is a super bowl. Nine are super bowl. They sat in the other and I got to tell you, Shanahan outclass McVay once again. And of course, what you guys said with Rahim Morris with this scheme, five man front, the only downside I will say is we need some help on the interior at defense attack. Kyron got too many, too many rushing yards in the A gap. But McVay got outclassed again like

you did in the NSC championship game where you think he's the smartest man in the room. Little Mickey Mouse is not the smartest man in the room. And Shanahan since 2019, nineers are 11 and five against McVay. And so this was a big one. Got to get home. Back to Miami. I'll see you guys in my at Levi's in a week from now. And we better be ready to rock and roll. And you got to give credit to Purdy because he was in Accurator start. You've even missing some of the screens and dump dump us. And then he finished it off with that 40 yard touchdown pass. And then Debo looking like Prime Debo. Great call, Mike. And keep wrapping the red and gold down in Costa Mesa, dude. I know how it is. I spent I went down there to college and and I had to take my nine. But that was a good time to be a nighter, bro. I was down there from 85 to 92. He hasn't got time to be down. A lot of wins, baby, especially over the ramps, too. By the way, eight three once is McVay's ability to string together cliches is unrivaled. I totally agree. He did a pregame hit with whoever their guy was.

A palace arrow, maybe. Yeah. And he's like, he's like, how you feeling, Sean? And dude, he was like eight straight. He's like, no, we're gonna take one day to time. And you know, he's gonna try to be the best version of ourselves. And I was like, I was like, wow, did you just say anything to him? I was bringing it together for a long time. Yeah, there you go. Seven of seven says that article about the Rams running the table is now my toilet paper. Here we go, guys. Seven of seven said, the Rams coach wanted the Niners. Well, he got him. Seven. Careful what you asked for. Sean McVay and the Rams did not want to see the 49er faithful take over Sofie South, AKA Levi South, I should say, well, guess what? They took over MCG AKA the G. It was a lot of red and gold down under. Yes. I was right. Errandy got some reaction for us is radar Randy. At least that's better than being browns Benny. Yeah, it could be worse. It could always be worse. And then 565, I just think right. Errandy could have been red and gold Randy. Oh, no, you got to stay true to your colors. You got to stay true to your colors. Sean McVay looks like the dingo ate his baby. That's

pretty good. That's not a trouble. This is a trouble. There you go. There you go. All right, we'll continue this. We're open 808 KBR's. The phone number keep calling in and all your favorite moments from last night. And what was L Duncan do? What was the gloves? The gloves. If the glove don't fit, you must have quit. I was T-Pain in the house. On these sports later. Sean McVay should change his name to Sean McDumb.
