call my friend Anthony Katana he's at 831 521 5264 all right well we're down here in Santa CLA today practice day 20 today is a significant day because today is the final practice before the 49ers pair their roster from 90 men down to 50 three men as they prepare for week one uh against the New York Jets now the Niners have made five cuts Matt breida jont Trey Kirkland uh the wide receiver Lewis Kidd the offensive lineman kesan vaugh the running back and Presley Harvin the third the punter have all been um either released or waved um there's going to be 1184 players that will be either released waved or put on some list either the IR or the pup list um a lot of lot of the talk is that the 49ers are likely to put taleno hanga on the pup list and he likely will miss the first four games so Tracy walker uh looks like he may get a spot on the roster that belongs to talanoa hanga um also Jeremy Fowler reported today that Trent Williams will continue his hold out into week one if he doesn't get the money that he wants um and also the NFL ruled today that the emergency third string quarterback must be on the active 53 man roster and not and cannot be a practice squad elevation so you're going to see teams instead of having two on the active roster and one on the practice squad you're going to have to have that guy on the active roster to elevate him on game day so that takes another roster spot up for the 49ers so those five guys have been cut and we'll see where it goes from here as far as um what other players get cut the ners have to pair their roster down to 53 by 1:00 Pacific um tomorrow um couple interesting things today Manti Teo the former Notre Dame linebacker went on television and said that he feels like the 49ers look emotionally exhausted um and I didn't get a chance to ask KY Shanahan about that but I'd like to uh the Niners have you know coming off a a Super Bowl defeat uh they're coming off a shortened off season they've had two very high-profile uh you know contract hold out with two of their Premier players that has dragged through the headlines all summer and I can see where somebody from the outside looking in would say yeah they are emotionally beat up I just don't know if that actually is the case there has been an awful lot of dialogue an awful lot of discussion awful lot of scuttle around the 49ers because of auk's hold up because of Trent Williams hold up because they lost the Super Bowl because you know Brock pie and because of so many different you know parts of the 49ers and are a star studded iconic team so there's always going to be a lot of talk now the question is is it exhausting to them or are they unaffected by the fact that they lost the Super Bowl are they exhausted by the fact that they're off season was a little shorter or um are they fine are they exhausted by the fact that you know we've all been the media has been peppering them with questions about iuk and Trent I don't know I I will say this the 49ers I think are unlike a lot of teams I think they're used to getting an awful lot of attention and a lot of questions and a lot of controversy they're just a they're one of the biggest name franchises in the league I mean when you're the ners the Cowboys the Patriots the Steelers the Ravens I mean there's a few teams in the league that just have a lot more going on around them than the Jaguars or the Panthers or the Broncos or one of these other teams in the league maybe the Broncos are a bad example but the the 49ers always have a lot of talk around their team now the question is is it been exhausting to the coaches has it been exhausting to the players are the Niners getting fatigued by their offseason there there has been a weird vibe this summer I don't know if I would call it fatigue um I just feel like when you've when you have a team that's been to the Super Bowl a couple times and been to that final four almost every year you're not going to dial it up with as much intensity in July as you would otherwise and I think that's really what I've seen kind of a subdued Camp you know you take away the elite athlete like Brandon auk and and suddenly they don't look quite as Dynamic on the football field and I think that's fair to say but are they emotionally fatigued I don't know but it's an interesting interesting question and one that I will throw at Kyle Shanahan next time I get an opportunity um okay couple practice Highlights today um Ricky purcel returned to practice and that was a Ricky P pcel I've been looking at all the cuts I saw pcel was cut Ricky peol returned to practice today he didn't do a ton but he did make some catches he was wearing the blue jersey uh we haven't seen him pretty much out of the blue jersey all summer but he was practicing there was a report that Isaac yam had returned to practice I did see him out on the field but he definitely did not return to practice I did not see Brandon auk today if he was here I didn't see him I don't think he was um you know you know one of the themes this summer is that JP Mason continues to dominate and impress every single day he had a couple really nice runs today uh there was an kind of a scary moment today in practice where Curtis Robinson yanked down Jake tongas on the sideline after a tackle and it looked like tongus might have gotten his cleat stuck in the turf and it looked kind of scary and a bunch of people started yelling and screaming like hey you know let's keep him up and you know the last thing anybody wants to see is guys get hurt especially at practice and especially in this this late the preseason um luckily it didn't look like tongas suffered an injury but it looked ugly and it looked like it could have been something bad um Jaylen Graham had a hard hit on the running back Jaylen Graham may not make the roster and I think that frustration showed today on the practice field uh he had a couple of Big Time hits and I think he's just trying to send a loud message hey man if you don't think I'm worthy of being on the 53 think again I think he should be on that 53 I would go with Graham and bethon um Tatum Bethune over a Flanigan fouls and even over a Curtis Robinson who's been fantastic this summer why because I just think that there's way more upside potential down the road in Bethune and um and Jaylen Graham and D Winters than I see in Curtis Robinson or Demetrius Flanigan foul so I hope the Niners take a long-term approach with their linebacking Corp and not as much about who fills the the you know what's a seamless filling of the roles on special teams it's like yeah you know what if you go with Jaylen Graham there's probably a little bit more risk there there's a little bit more projection there he's probably not as good a special teamer as Demetrius Flanigan FS but I would say Flanigan FS doesn't have the upside potential to play from scrimmage that Bethune has and maybe more specifically what what Jaylen Graham has so I hope Graham and Bethune get that roster spot we'll have to see it definitely is going to come down to uh the last moment there um it's not a lock that Graham makes this team uh Malik Mustafa had a great practice today he had a sack of py on one play and a couple plays later he had a great pbu pass break up against the p on a pass that was intended for George KD uh pie did have a pass that was tipped up into the air and intercepted today by dador Lenor uh dos threw a ball that was intercepted by darell lutter Jr we had a chance to talk to lutter after practice and what a great kid he is man I just hope he makes the team he's a I mean in a lot of ways derell lutter Junior's the physical prototype and he played nothing but press man at South Alabama so unlike a lot of guys that come into the league and they know how to play zone and and they had they have to learn how to play press man this guy know how to play press man but I asked him where he's improved and he said that he feels like he's just overall man-to-man coverage is tighter uh than it was a year ago um but he had a great interception today in practice of Josh dubs pie also maybe the play of the day today was pie on a deep ball he threw an ABS absolute dime and dropped it in the lap of Chris Conley down the left sideline for an easy touchdown uh just a beautiful play I mean one of the best deep ball throws we've seen all summer Jer Brown could have had an interception today he dropped that that interception possibility uh Brandon Allen uh had an excellent ball to uh Jacob coing where he hit him in stride underneath and then coing made one guy Miss got to the edge and took it to the house for a touchdown great run after the catch right there from cowing and it was a beautiful pass underneath by Allen Patrick Taylor I thought had two or three really nice runs in the game against the Raiders and he continued that momentum today out on the practice field he had several nice runs today and um then there was a play Lon practice that I thought was impressive dos hit Trent Taylor across the middle but it was just an absolute laser I mean he dos just put it right on him and with a ton of velocity so that really stood out um kind of a weird vibe around practice I think the players are kind of denying it but you know anytime you're coming to the end it's like there's guys that want to put one more hit on film there's guys that want to put one more play on film um there's an Ang there's an anxiousness um to a football team when you know that you've got 90 guys in Camp today and tomorrow at this time you're going to have 53 guys in Camp and it's a business and darell lutter told us after practice he's like hey man we realize it's a business so they understand the reality they know what they signed up for but it doesn't make it any less Stark or any less dramatic and tomorrow is the day that the rosters get paired from 90 to 53 so um overall a real good summer for the 49ers they avoided significant injuries for the most part all summer um and uh this cutdown is going to be really interesting I hope they you know they've got a great rookie class I hope they invest in it um there's a lot of good players around the league that have already been cut I hope they leave a couple roster spots open so they can take advantage of some of that depth I'd love to see the 49ers add another defensive end possibly a safety and maybe a little speed you know there's been speculation that 2 two Atwell could get traded if Tut two atwell's out there to be traded I'd trade for him um he's he 2 two atwell's difference making speed combined with iuk if he's here Debo KD C C would make the 49ers all the more dangerous um ese you know you add Co he gives you speed but a guy like Atwell would even give you that much more so defensive end I think is the one spot that the Niners will be looking to trade for somebody from around the league that gets cut or or that you know that's about to get cut or potentially they'll be looking to add somebody at the cut down at defensive end that is the spot where the Niners are probably thinnest right now with the injury of Drake Jackson the relative raw uh skill set of Robert Beal the injuries to um you know to to Leonard Floyd Yer grm I mean the 49ers situation at defensive end is somewhat dire um and you know they're already have been a couple of guys that around the league that have been cut um that are you know that are kind of interesting that I'm sure they're going to probably be looking at um you know we'll get into a whole list of them later you know down the road in the next 24 hours we'll do a video on some of the guys that have being cut but every defensive end out there that is either cut or on the chopping block and maybe available via trade I think John Lynch and K shanan are going to explore the possibility of adding a defensive end or two because they're real thin there they're really thin at defensive end they're a little bit thin at defensive tackle um they're a little thin at safety super loaded at linebacker super loaded at corner super loaded at quarterback super loaded at running back wide receiver deep on the offensive line the one Thin spot on the on the offense is tight end and a couple thin spots on the defense would be like safety or defensive end maybe a little bit to a lesser degree defensive tackle so I would say like one guy that I'm looking for tomorrow to you know maybe get cut is Isaiah fosy who went to deal uh played at Notre Dame uh really a talented kid this kid showed up to the Niner Pro Day last year uh despite the fact that you know he was going in the end of the first or High second round and the ners didn't have a pick so you know I think they they have interest in him I'm sure um and I'm sure he has interest in in being a 49er and playing in the Bay Area so that will be a guy a name to watch for in the next 24 hours if the Saints who are really loaded with you know a bunch of guys on that defensive line Granderson and others uh if they wind up cutting Isaiah fosy or pton Turner you might see the 49ers uh try to sign that player or you could even see them trade a day three pick in the 2025 draft to try to get in front of teams in the waiver wire process and just try to trade for a player and skip the waiver wire deal Al together but I think the 49ers will be on the lookout for every and any uh defensive end that potentially uh that's going to shake free here at the deadline all right that's going to do it for us thanks to pig and a
