Jimmy Garoppolo situation is looming.
He's there
we know, he'll play of Trey, Lance gets injured. The
question is at, what point does Trail ants get the hook from
Kyle Shanahan and
I can't rule out anything because Kyle Shannon is always
going to be driven by what's best for the team. And Kyle
Shannon has a kind of personality where he can
communicate to anyone on the team.
He can find the words to say it
in a way that gets them to buy in and if he has to have the
Relation with Trail and at some point
that I have to take you out and let you continue to learn
at a slower Pace. It's going to be better for you in the long
run. It's better for us now he'll get him to buy in and it
won't be awkward and won't be ugly and trade. Lance won't
demand to trade, Shanahan can do it. If you wants to do it
I just wonder
at what point he does it and Chris made a great Point
earlier this week. Next Sunday night Kyle goes back to Denver,
he's going to want to beat the Broncos. There's still some
lingering and
Mama City between the family and the Broncos organization.
He's going to want to put his best foot forward on prime-time
week 3, and week. Four Monday night football against
the Rams. Are you kidding me?
So I I just wonder how much pressure is on. Trey, Lance
to go out there and
and show
why they have the faith in him that they do? And will they
lose faith in him if he fails to do that? Peter, I don't
think there is any way that Kyle she, and he, and in
the first month of this season can yank.
Lance
he will be viewed as just the ultimate yo-yo artist. If he
does, if Kyle Shanahan does this I will be shocked
if any time in the first four games that that he barring
injury
that he Yanks Trail ants
Mike he's just got too much invested in trail ants
to say oops never mind, all you 15 guys who we called in and
said hey you got to support Trey Lance
and You know, because we're gonna say we were going to, we
just said you have yes we did.
That's why that's why he can't because the players on the team
would look at him like
what is wrong with this guy?
You know. I it just
it's just it wouldn't make any sense to me, Mike.
I
I don't disagree with that, but there's been so much about this
entire ordeal that makes no sense. I guess I'm just ready
for the next thing that makes no sense. And my point is,
the Kyle Shannon is a guy who can sell it in a sensible fashion
to whoever he needs to sell it to.
Because let me tell you Peter, those 15 veterans that they
called in those team leaders that they implored and enlisted
to support Trey Lance.
Yeah, I've I thought it was funny when Jay Glazer
As our said, they didn't hesitate to agree. What are
they going to say? No, we're not going to do it. Screw you.
Of course they're going to agree to do it. They're going
to do what the coach tells them to do.
But at what point do they start looking to the coach saying,
hey you know what,
we're not all in for the three-year Trail ants project,
he may be better
in 2024, we won't be here, we want to win. Now we have a team
that can win. Now, you got to do something about this, we
want to win. We want our best guys on the field. That's the
Problem by keeping Jimmy Garoppolo around because we
know how they feel about in the locker room. We've seen what he
can do, if they start digging a hole,
the question is, when does the desperation get to the point
where Kyle Shanahan says, I'll deal with the scrutiny, I'll
deal with the questions, I'll deal with Peter King. Calling
me, the ultimate yo-yo artist that may not be a bad thing.
You ever tried to do a
yo-yo? It's kind of hard to do. I mean, I could see him
spinning, whatever anyone says into supporting whatever he
wants to do. That's one of his skills. Earl's he's able
to come up with whatever he thinks is best for the team, he
doesn't worry about what else it means. And he thinks and
believes and I think he's accurate, he can talk his guys
into supporting him.
Yeah, but 33
years Mike is I won't understand them being angry if
it's October 20th
and, you know, they're they're lollygagging in last place. In
in the division,
I would understand making a change. Then
I would not understand making a change after 15 or 20 days of
the season. So I cannot see a change being made
in week 3 or 4. I think.
Think it's borderline impossible.
There is one way of change would be made. That would be if
Trey Lance gets injured. There's been a lot of talk
about him. Learning how to slide and how to protect
himself. And it was conversation earlier this week
at press, conferences by both Kyle, Shannon,
and Trey, Lance as to this balance between protection
and also getting the yards that you need. When
you're trying to win football games. Here's Trey, Lance from
Wednesday on this issue of protecting himself, when he's
between the lines.
When I'm not bigger faster and stronger than pretty much
everyone else.
Guys, catch up a lot quicker guys. You know space is feel
guys clothes a lot faster
and you know gotta learn to protect myself just being in
a different situation knowing how important it is for me to stay
healthy. There's always going to be, like I said, a million
times, there's always going to be better decisions. I can
make, but on Sunday, I felt like I protect myself pretty
well
so good for the most part. Maybe a couple I could have
gone down one step faster
or / and find an edge and getting down. But for the most
part, I mean, Running between the tackles and stuff like that
or run it on third down,
I'm not ever going to slide
and go forth and to and just give up on the points and our
defense on the field it's a situation like that
and that's fine but that's when the opportunity arises to get
yourself injured. The more hits you take the more likely you
eventually are to get injured and Peter. He's getting
the crash course in
you're not in North Dakota State anymore
at the NFL level,
all those things.
It allowed you to be clearly better
than the guys you were competing against
that's out the window. And that
that
realization I think applies to any college player when they go
to the NFL and every time you go up a level in football, it's
faster, it's tougher,
they're stronger, they're bigger,
but especially when you go from an F
CS level Team all the way up to the NFL.
It's that, that is a splash of cold water in the face.
Mike, I think is 13 Rush attempts
in game. 1 are not indicative of what is going to happen in
game 2 and Beyond because that was a function of
playing,
you know, on a terrible weather day. So I wouldn't expect him
to run it more than like six or eight times in a game on
average for the rest of this year or however long, he plays
that is Is not really, I don't think what Kyle Shanahan wants
him to do. And so I think he's going to become
a guy who throws from the pocket
and who throws on the Move,
much more than a guy who is looking to use, designed runs
to move the chains.
