look to be coming together in just the nick of time okay Trent Williams back with the team trying to finalize a deal ahead of their Monday night opener that maybe would let him be out there let's get more on that we welcome in our NFL Insider Dan Graziano gra what changed in the situation to get Williams back into the facility Well Brandon auk signed and that gave the 49ers more time to work on the Williams issue uh also you know Trent Williams 36 like I don't want to cast dispersions but some of these guys don't don't super duper love going to training camp as they get later in their careers either so I think Trent was okay hanging out and waiting for this but now it's week one time to get serious Trent Williams has three years left on his contract excuse me and uh a lot of times with these situations it's about moving up some money from future years Laura I'm losing my voice boy so excited about Trent Williams moving up money from future years and maybe guaranteeing some because three years left on the contract but no guaranteed money so we'll see how the reworked contract comes out but I would think the Trent Williams ends up with some guaranteed money this year and possibly next year great job powering through there in G get a sip of water for sure okay we're going to let you go he took his son to college not long ago he's getting emotional ter eyed it's a tough we've all been there before where there's like a frog and you're like oh just don't fail me out boie boie boie help him out that's that yak that's that yak St he's it's 4M straight up all right Dan how do you see this 49ers offense trying to attack a talent ented Jets defense on Monday night hopefully Trent Williams is done by then and he's back out there yeah so I say Advantage Kyle Shanahan because Kyle Shanahan this 49ers offense it's so about getting easy or or quick completions ball out in space trying to manipulate Zone Defenders the New York Jets and Robert Sala play a ton of zone defense so I sit there and I go Kyle's going to find different ways to create small little windows and very clear reads for Brock py mcaffrey and their screen game will be a huge part because Kyle loves to take advantage of aggressive defenses and aggressive pass rushes he'll get the ball out and space the players like Debo Samuel I do think it'll be really interesting to watch Brock pie and I've said this and Marcus you know it right you know it Ultra aggressive quarterback make some throws and try some throws when you're like man you're trying to fit into that window when you're playing an elite speed zone defense that always gets interesting to me because the quarter back doesn't change his spots that often and so is he going to come out that aggressive and can the Jets defensively take advantage of what I would say is his biggest strength yeah do perfect when you talk about the Zone the one thing that came to my mind was obviously Quincy Williams and CJ Mosley and how they try to contain Christian mcaffrey in all the ways that KY Shanahan uses him and when you look at the matchup that to me is going to determine what this game looks like from an offensive standpoint with San Francisco here's the one thing for all the creativity and the things that we talked about with Kyle Shanahan and what he can do to get guys in space yards after the catch is why San Francisco kills people it's the reason why they are so explosive and when you start talking about a defense with the type of speed that you mentioned with the New York Jets and when they come they bring uh bad intentions and I think they have two of the top five linebacker group in the enti NFL so I'm interested to see not only the in Sp match with Quincy Williams and CJ Mosley but also how they try to contain Christian mcaffrey when he is in the slot when they do move him around and run that screen game with him will will it be those guys making tackles or will it be more about a rally and coming down in that zone that you're talking about don't forget fella I me Robert Salah not that long from being Kyle Shanahan's defensive coordinator Kyle actually yep when he was down in Tampa years ago would go and learn defensive like sit in the defensive meetings so he could learn the rules of the defensive players in certain schemes and that's the best way to attack so he's going to know basically everything about Robert salah's defense and exactly how he wants to attack some of the principles and the rules of it another layer to a great game you're talking about mcaffrey you guys see there on the screen he's returning to practice after missing much of training camp dealing with that cap injury but expected not to be serious it' be good to have him back out out there now one player on this 49ers offense that won't be out there is Ricky piol the 49ers rookie Piera was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt in San Francisco on Saturday he didn't need surgery and was released from a hospital on Sunday his mother said on social media that the bullet exited his back and missed vital organs a 17-year-old male suspect was arrested let's get gra back in here so thankful obviously that he's going to be okay gra what does this mean for his football future yeah Laura obviously they'll give him whatever time he needs to recover but I mean what you described there is is a is a miracle and and he's up and about it he's been interacting with teammates and uh GM John Lynch actually told reporters a short time ago out there that piol is already on him about when can I come back and play so they put him on nonf football injury list so he has to by rule miss the first four games at least uh and then I guess you know it depends on sort of what what harm was done right we know we know he's okay and up and about but did it damage a muscle like something like that so they'll work with him for the next four weeks and see what kind of shape he's in but uh he seems to be in good spirits by all accounts uh and very fortunate obviously to be where he is but uh it does sound like the 49ers believe he will play at some point this year again leaving that entirely up to him in the short term for sure yeah again just thankful for the miracle that occurred and that he'll be okay we'll see when he gets back on the football field thanks to gra for the that's going to be how we open it welcome to NFL live Dan Roski is here Marcus fears is here thank you for the wave we needed that uh Andrew Hawkins will be W coming your way every day till mid-February America soak it in we'll have Dan Riano with you for the hour guys let's begin with the Kansas City Chiefs the reigning Super Bowl champs are looking to be the first team ever to three repeat they made last season's Championship winning roster even better with key offseason additions especially on offense right and for more now we bring in Michelle steel she's joining us from Kansas City what Michelle is Travis Kelce saying about how he feels heading into his 12th NFL season yeah Laura it is an NFL Friday here in KC and it's also Travis Kelsey Day always a big day and you're right 12th NFL season that is a ton of mileage on that body but despite having the lowest number of snaps last year that he's played in his NFL career since at least 2014 Travis Kelce told me that no coaches have approached him about potentially being on a snap count against the Ravens on Thursday night he also added even if they did I probably wouldn't listen to him I just love coming in here man it's it's kind of I mentioned St Joe as My Sanctuary I just love football and how it it takes me away from life and uh it gives me something I can feel genuinely uh happy about I I enjoy coming in the building working on my craft getting to understand a new game plan and perfecting that for the people around me uh gives me a purpose to kind of go about my day and and to live my life and I just uh I have so much excitement doing it it's exciting it's the first uh first game of the season everybody wants to come out and you know show how explosive they are show how great they or how much better they got from last year this going to be a great challenge for us but um I think everybody's just fired up to to get out in front of Arrowhead and get this season started fired up he said that he feels physically great which of course is a Far Cry from week one of 2023 when he didn't play in that game against the Lions because he had a knee injury now this is of course a big national game all the attention is going to be on the Chiefs and the Ravens and if we know one thing about Travis Kelce it's something about these big moments right where he's able to find another gear and he told me when it comes to week one when it comes to the 2024 season he is quote ready to rock Laura I saw him with that ESPN hat too we like that teammate good job Travis uh the Chiefs had one of the worst wide receiving cores in the NFL last season they had 25 drops seven more than the next closest team Kansas City decided to make wholesale changes this off season trading up to draft Xavier worthy in the first round and then bringing in Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith Shuster so they've made so many improvements on a team that already won the Super Bowl Marcus when you think about this how do you think the wide receiver changes impact Kansas City especially in a rematch with the Ravens yeah I I I thought about Andy Reid first Boogie and Dan can relate to this and the creativity with the speed that he has but also not letting that speed take away from the fact that these guys are really polished wide receivers Xavier worthy especially I know a lot of people got excited about his combine numbers and the things that he was able to do there but more than just being a speed guy he's in an offense where he's going to be used and space is going to be created for him regardless of how fast as you are and Maris Brown as well known as another speed guy but true to their wide receiver roots that is what I love about these additions obviously we know that Travis Kelce will be man in the middle of the field finding those one-on ons and being huge in this passing game but now you have significant speed but you also have polished receivers and I think that's something to pay attention to as the season goes along with Andy Reid and his creativity offensively and how he will deploy these guys being true wide receivers that just are out of their mind fast Patrick Mahomes has got a rookie protecting him at left tackle that's probably a storyline that we haven't talked enough about this off season could you imagine the pressure the young man that they drafted out of BYU Kingsley Andy read in the creativity that Marcus is referencing and the speed it's great but they got to go into this game on Thursday night to kick off this season with a rookie at left tackle and I know Patrick can mitigate it a little bit but Patrick's a very unique quarterback to protect VAR because the amount of time that he's going to hold on to the football and the kind of the movement within the pocket I think that's like a fascinating storyline for Thursday night is how much does Andy Reid think he has to protect him Matt naggie their play caller do they have to protect him can they cut him loose how does he do tackles was a massive issue for this football team last year we talked about how much they helped them those offensive tackles now with the rookie is it the same story or they do they kind of like take the Band-Aid off and hey go protect against or you know protect for the best quarterback in football we're going to have to pay attention to that for sure and how does the [Music]
