AI GeneratedThe speakers discuss the San Francisco 49ers' defensive needs, debating whether to bring back former player DeForest Buckner or target an edge rusher like Khalil Mack. They evaluate the current performance of young defensive talents and speculate on potential trade targets and player fits within Kyle Shanahan's system.
Let's stick with the Indianapolis Colts.
They lost again.
They freaking stink.
Most teams in the NFL do.
That's something I learned when I covered the Niners.
It's just watching the Niners and I get, you know, zeroed in on them.
But then they have the day off and I watch the teams.
I was like, oh, you stink and you stink and you stink.
Indianapolis Colts, you stink.
And after the game, DeForest Buckner seems so disheartened.
So it's the same.
He's tired of the same old song and dance every year.
Yeah, I would, too, especially
if that's happening in Indianapolis, Indiana.
uh do you think that i mean he's got one year left
on his deal he's 32 years old you could
probably get him for like a fourth if it's
a fourth why not he's still really good like why
not a fourth i i want DeForest back that would
be so awesome if he came back like he i i'm on his
side imagine living in indiana
and after like it's every year the colts have been the same team since
i've been born like i don't remember
the colts ever being good buckner should want out i love
buckner he's a great player only thing
is though he's like he's 32 he's had some neck injuries
he's playing pretty well this year i just all
suddenly feel like defensive tackle isn't really
their biggest issue that's what
that's what you know what i mean like grayson halton's like
asserting himself and so is sebastian valdez
and you just traded for osa so if you bring in buckner
you're probably not going to play halton as much
which is fine but like no no i don't think that's
fine at all you got it yeah you have
to play Halton, you want to play Halton like he's hella
good, he looks like a star that that's actually I
was exactly thinking that because I tweeted like
come home DeForest, come home
but I was like do I want him to come to the 49ers because like
Haltons the future, he is dude
and so is Valdez, yeah how did he fall to the fourth round
how like I don't understand, I don't know, I don't it makes zero sense
because he wasn't big enough
the guy plays like he's Alfred Collins size, he's
better than Alfred Collins and he gets in the
backfield and he's good against the run
and the pass he's hella good yeah you know what do you
think Buckner would even want to come back here
I mean he wouldn't have a choice but I feel like
there's probably bad blood but we're five
and oh he'd be like dude I'm on a shitty ass team there was
bad blood with Dre Greenlaw and there wasn't five
and oh team and Cali like send me there right
now I actually think that I'm gonna change
my mind I actually don't want Buckner back like I
would rather us get someone else
at the deadline like we don't I really like Valdez and I really
like Halton like those two guys have been so impressive
and I think just keep keep rolling
with those guys to me I think they need
an edge rusher I think that's the spot like if they could
get Bryce Huff to come out of retirement
and be like prime Bryce Huff that would be a great
addition for them I think they need a guy
who can win quickly like when you're winning when you're
up six with two minutes left in the fourth quarter
and you know they got a pass and go hurry up down
the field it'd be great to have someone
who can end the game from the edge and that's what you're
paying Nick Bosa to do and I think
that they're still thinking that he will be able to do that
But, man, we're going to talk about Bosa later.
We got Romello Hope, though, man.
All this week.
We have Romello Hope, though.
People are really starting to hype him up.
I just don't.
I mean, he may have potential, but I'd like someone better.
The only thing I've seen from Romello is his club on his hand
and a spin move.
That's kind of all that he's been doing.
He does the spin move.
His spin move, hey, he loves the spin.
He does it all the time.
Who's your guy, Grant?
Like, except from the guy from the
Eagles, let's say he's not on the board.
is there an edge rusher that you like really
want would want the Niners to go after because I
just can't like you mentioned Bryce
Huff don't think Bryce Huff would
unretire and come play I mean it's going to be
Khalil if they trade for one it's going to be Khalil
Mack they've already been linked to him
George Kittle already said he went to
John Lynch they tried to trade for
Khalil Mack like 10 years ago
they love old players
they don't need a guy in his
prime really like they just need a guy
be here for one year and play on third downs
and fourth quarters.
So Khalil Mack would be great.
I think they could do that,
but I wonder if the Chargers will accommodate him.
It's week six.
Let's make some 49ers prize picks.
Brock Purdy, 17.5 rushing yards.

What do you think Khalil Mack would be worth?
Third, fourth?
Third or fourth.
Fourth.
I would do it.
He's old.
He's got one year left in his deal.
Same as Buckner.
I would do it.
I think if you told me if I had to pick between Buckner or Khalil Mack,
I think I'm picking Khalil Mack 10 out of the 10 times.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
But Khalil Mack's a future Hall of Famer.
He's a great player.
If Bosa doesn't come back, look, we'll talk about Bosa in a minute.
Hold that thought.
found it early says uh shits
and giggles are the Dallas wide receivers poachable
nah man the cowboys don't care they're
just gonna keep trotting out the same team
and telling their fans that they have stars
and then they'll go like 6 and 11 or whatever
wait does this guy say like Lamb could we
no why would they trade no like i was thinking do you
think Pickens could be someone the Niners would go after
in the offseason i don't think hell no
would because hell no he's good exactly
but nah not because of his attitude food facts every day
says Justin if man Herbert trade him for picks
no i'm like Jabotomy is a new member thank you
niner fan says Bijan would look amazing under Shanahan even
though i know the Falcons won't
do it yes Bijan would look amazing Jahmyr Gibbs
would look amazing people actually think Bijan
like i've seen tweets people like dude
the Niners should just send three first rounders for Bijan
dude Falcons would not do that they would
not they would not do that niner fan says did you
see that Kittle as Lynch and Niners trading for Mac yes yes
so that's the one i think they would
they would possibly do
