ONE. BIG. THING: Sorensen Calms 49ers Defensive Concerns!

this is awesome that my worry about this uh the defense under one Nick soron was was too much this defense is picking right uh right up where they left off steiny they had a good Super Bowl but I was worried about uh the Baton being passed from wils to senson and I'm looking at Malik Collins I'm looking at Leonard Floyd I'm looking at Hargrave I'm looking at Bosa they were active and then the ability to go to from Zone to man on the outside with Lenor and uh I'm sitting here like my goodness Donnie this defense may be deeper than it was last year and the reason I'm going here is I'm watching ward he reminds me of Jimmy Ward jarious and he's got attitude but watching him basically just shut down the jet receivers I'm like this defense is going to be badass again without Dre green law so the demise of the Niner D under Nick soron was I had to check myself your boy was wrong sty after one week man Fred Warner piggybacking on that was asked about his thoughts on Nick saens in his first game as defensive coordinator called a great game you know I I love the way that he you know approaches the preparation the way that he leads our group and ultimately you know goes out there and calls a Flawless game um you know there's things to clean up on our side as players execution wise but I I'm proud of the way that we fought all right that's uh Fred Warner talking to Nick senson made all the right calls 49ers held the Jets to 19 including a late touchdown that was pretty much I'm curious to see yours yeah uh my one big thing is we learned last night that this team is not dependent on any one player this team can win without Christian mcaffrey it can win at times without Debo Samuel it can win without auk one guy just one guy is not going to break this offense down uh multiple injuries are another story but that game last night I'm watching and it looked exactly like a 49er game would have looked with Christian mcaffrey playing running back and the reality of the situation is I know Christian mcaffry is hurt and I don't know when he's going to come back but it certainly isn't anything that's going to be season ending it looked like uh Shanahan saying if if uh would have been a more important game or wouldn't have been the first game of the year he would have played and so this team I think has all the ingredients to spell Christian mcaffrey when they want and not miss a beat during the regular season this team's going to win a lot of games this year now what if I'm in the car and I'm driving and I want to ask the great Matt steinet why is it that they are not dependent on just one dude because they're loaded they are absolutely loaded and it's still not the answer I'm looking for what do you mean it's Kyle okay he can Dial It Up Without You me Evan cam the heagan like that's special man and he's done it in the past with Jimmy so why are we surprised that he's doing it now he did it he did it his first couple years here he got the 49ers to Super Bowl in 19 without mcaffrey I think I can answer that why cuz you have questions like what they were in the playoffs last year and I'm not saying that was Shanahan's fault but it kind of didn't get solved you know Green Bay Detroit and Kansas City the playoff opponents can we look each other in the face Donnie and say now one of those games did they look like the dominant itself they were during the regular season and I guess if I'm going to give Kyle this Kudos I could just double back and and ask him if I had the opportunity why does he think they kind of took a step back cuz last night was incredible and and I'm with you if we get word there was no mcaffrey I'm not saying on niners have no chance I'm like that was that was Picasso last night of of of a game plan by both coordinators for that matter yeah I mean my one big thing is is man this team can win and beat you in a variety of ways they can beat you with a run they can beat you with a pass their defense can be good it was last night maybe they ran into a Jets team that's still trying to figure itself out and they have a quarterback who's relative ly new and trying to figure out his teammates but nevertheless that game was was not in doubt for the last uh two and a half quarters and the 49ers I thought played uh played as good of a game one as they could possibly play and what about this now I think they got a secret weapon it's not even a secret if you're telling me Jake Moody is going to do this Donnie and again I keep going back to that big ass field goal in the Super Bowl that he hit I mean man just just now now you it's an embarrassment of riches obviously you want to punch it in and not be dependent on the field goal kicker it's not that it's when you need him the confidence and I just think of how his career started the Miss against the Browns last year steiny your boy's in the zone right now man the uh they uh r herrer on the Xfinity mobile tech or rather on the YouTube chat Stein is getting cocky now San Francisco has no replacement all capital letters for Brock pie hello yeah I disagree man I mean you you can't tell me that if Brock pie missed a few games that the 49ers wouldn't have a good chance to win can't win a Super Bowl probably without Brock pie I'm not saying that butland and dobs but what do you want from your backup quarterback you want somebody who can step in play three or four games if he has to and keep the ship upright and I I have no doubt that Brandon Allen or dosy can do that yeah um 888 957 9570 is the number goo and I uh just gave you our one big thing from last night's game uh mine is that this team is not relling on one guy they have all kinds of weapons they're going to spread it around and they're going to be able to compensate for a guy being out here and there and I don't think they're going to skip a beat Guru his one big thing was the defense under Nick Sorenson looked terrific 19 points given up late touchdown it was pretty meaningless uh they had Rogers I don't know if he was under duress but I think comfortable no he wasn't you're right about that he wasn't comfortable it looked like I I thought he got rid of the ball a little soon at times I think he was a little bit concerned about getting hit after not playing for a while um but the defense Guru saying is is lights out at least last night tonight so 888 957 9570 what's your one big thing from last night's ball game the reality of the situation is if you ask most 49er fans they'd say the off season was not a good one not a good one and yet they came out and they looked as good as any team in the NFL in week one in fact what team do you think is there a team that looked quote unquote better than the ners uh this weekend go to my way of thinking I'd say the Niners looked terrific I think the Cowboys looked really good how about the Chiefs I thought they looked great I thought uh I think Baltimore's probably going to be there Lions looked good so did the Rams um yeah the Rams so but I I think the ners All Things Considered if you're a 49er fan you got to be uh you got to give last night uh an a grade I would think yeah that's what I'm giving it but again I don't want to bring the party down Evan you tell me what you think but steiny do you believe in pressure you know what I saw I saw now get this and cuz you just asked me so I had no idea I was going to say and just unbelievable so I'm going through Instagram okay and I see a photo of Billy Jean King and Andre agasse Okay and they're at the US Open and they're just taking a picture but in the background there's a sign with words on it oh what did it say and do you know what it said do you know what the sign said I got to believe it had something to do with pressure it did it said pressure is a privilege pressure is a privilege and I thought about that and I said I think I've got a new tagline pressure is a a privilege it's a privilege a privilege well it's not your tagline well it is now I was getting ready to go it is now so you jacking people for their SL had you ever heard that before I Evan had you ever heard that before yeah at the US Open no you haven't well none of our listeners we saw the same sign none of our I none of our listeners watch Tennis it's my tagline now EV is my I'm claiming it but the reason I bring that up damn it and I like that let let's nitpick here what bothers you more if you're a Niner fan the two penalties are penalties and they had two touchdowns called back the two of five in the red zone or the auk drops neither you got to pick one no I'm GNA pick one neither of them drops cuz I got to tell you stany listening and watching him we we see this all the time when guys and G sign a deal and they try to live up to it steiny he makes that catch nine out of 10 times and I'm just this is something to monitor moving forward but now it feels like the whole stadium I was there every time he was targeted and he made some catches it's like it's like yeah okay Brandon is there more at play did the you not being at OTAs in preseason is that going to follow you or are you just going to slap that in the face and catch every ball coming your way and I just thought on that dive on a dime by pie I was like oh I you know I won't never get the chance to ask him but my thought was sty I wonder if that was he miss Camp related or contract or combo of both and when that will go away boy you're something that that he makes that catch nine out of 10 times all right well he miss tra well yes I believe they're similar I know it was a calf then it's a calf now manto man Jennings oh got throw you he's a little rusty P you know he's missed all training camp get signed getting training camp there's a reason for training camp you need it we need the Reps oh get those contracts done earlier so we can get in training camp we don't drop balls on opening night don't it's probably one thing catching passes running routs all a sudden you're laying out or pass full speed diving that's you know that's that's why yeah those those happen in Camp you make those you practice those that's just a little rusty you're still catching balls at a high school field from some quarterback that's 45 years old my age you're not catching balls from your quarterback get signed get in Camp and we don't drop the ball oh you're a beautiful Russell Crow Beautiful Mind for playing that man they said more than that if you know what I mean when what do you mean they yeah they they said that and it was harsh but the street vernacular sty that was they said some other stuff boy you and I'm rooting for Brandon but man you got to bring that in baby you heard the Mannings how you got yeah the Manning said it I didn't say it I just brought it up to you right but the Manning said that's a pass that he probably catches if he has training camp you think he's going to be dropping passes in week four no no well okay that's I hope not how about that I don't think he is oh you don't think he is or you do I I don't cuz he's so polished and good well if you don't then there's no worry yeah but Niner fans hoping that there this don't continue like it gets rectified like why why would it continue I guess is my question isn't he going to be the receiver he's always been no you expect that that's why he got paid but it's like Bosa he admitted that he wasn't himself the whole season the whole season so I hope that's not a you you know the same thing with Brandon CD lamb look he look great oh yeah but different people yeah but dball my gosh what about him he looked like a tank man I said he was going to have a big year you did M uh Jos and San Jose Joe what's going on Joe how you doing man I'm doing good doing good thank you for taking my call absolutely um so first things first I want to say the Chargers also look good this weekend as much as I hate to admit it I'm not a harau fan but they look pretty good um you don't have to ask the other thing the other thing is that uh uh something I didn't like something I don't like something I'm still very much worried about as a Niner fan uh is mckivitz uh I'm not a fan of that guy I don't understand why he's still a starter I don't understand why they haven't replaced him um that that guy he I'm I'm worried that at some point in time this season he's gonna screw up and P's gonna get hurt and uh I just uh it it it it gives me cause to worry but um but other than that I think the boys looked really good yesterday um I wish they would have been a little better in the Red Zone but uh uh other than that I think they play a great game appreciate the call Guru I'm sorry Joe that was Joe and we should steal his thought I was just telling Evan what's his thought something he didn't like you know hey because there's always something you know people especially nowadays but it's just funny real quick I'm looking at mckiddy I'm not saying he was great but he only gave up two pressures I think of mcglen in his tenure here as a Niner they got to the Super Bowl it's like I mean I you guys throwing rocks I get it but this this unit is a unit that get you to the biggest game the last four years and if not the biggest game the game before it like I mean man let me ask Evan uh this question because I I think it's important did the Chargers look great in week one you're I text EV during the game before he answered so we were in communication me and him alone no IE they had one first down in the first half it was a big first down though probably right it kept the drive alive it was still one I'm going to give uh I'm going to give my Harbaugh update next segment it's I'm going give Evan the win on that 12:30 yeah
