so here's good news Trent Williams who I think we can mostly admit even if you're a a non 49er fan best left tackle in football and what we've been saying on this show I love Brandon iuk you better get Trent Williams back because it's not the same team this offense is Shanahan Trent Williams and Christian mcaffrey in any order he's coming back he's signed a deal he's back in the bay so the noisiest off season in the NFL is suddenly getting quiet uh and I mean the ners off seon made the Jets noisy off seon feel like a monastery it was baggage it was noise Christian mcaffrey didn't play Brandon iuk had that horrible Ricky peol uh shooting incident he is now out of a hospital prayers to him and his family now the ners are an older team and they're facing real pressure because Christian mcaffrey George KD and Trent Williams have a lot of wear on those tires and you know who doesn't three of the best challengers in the NFC the Packers the Lions and yes the Rams are really good have six and seven-year runways the ners plane is about to take off it's got the heaviest cargo ever it may only have one great liftoff yet and I'm not sure I like the landing gear now we're going to see a team that is facing real pressure Kyle Shanahan I need a trophy I need a trophy the Jets don't have a trophy either to the ners a lot of regular season wins so that Jets ners matchup the baggage Bowl you've had noise you've got Stars you got no trophies and both think it's their time so I can't wait for that on Monday Night Football which is six days away but the ners are interesting now because we've sort of been let's be honest we we kind of know who the great quarterbacks are in the NFL and we've sort of been coddling Brock pie but this is the year that the York family owners of this franchise Shanahan and John Lynch will make the grown-up decision do we pay this kid real money they'll know by Thanksgiving but the schedule's tough I think the the division it may not be the AFC North or the NFC North but I think the division's still really good keep your eye on Seattle um I think we're going to learn a lot about this team a lot of noise a lot of baggage a lot of cargo very expensive and older players Debo gets hurt McCaffrey Trent Williams KD this is the best roster in the league it is absolutely the best roster one of the older ones but the best roster Detroit may be close Philadelphia good like the Chiefs to this the best roster in the league and if Stafford Joe Burl Mahomes were the quarterback they'd be heavy overwhelming favorites to win a Super Bowl and they're not now they're in the top three but now they're pressure isn't just on everybody else not name Brock pie now it's on Brock pie too so let's stop the coddling let's get this party started Trent Williams back in toe Brandon iuk back in Camp the noisiest team in the NFL suddenly got quiet and I can't wait for the opener against the equally noisy and high expectation Jets all right so um I watched a lot of col college football this weekend and the college football season got great ratings for a lot of reasons get into that later but I was reading a uh a a takeaway an article this morning that said the headline reads 10 takeaways from an eventful college football week one and instead of going with 10 I'm going to slim that list down to one Lincoln Riley can coach yeah he's really really good at coaching the same people who banged on Lincoln Riley for years tried to convince you that Jim Harbaugh couldn't coach either do resumés matter anymore I watch Lincoln Riley with less Talent on a neutral field and a younger team out coach Brian Kelly out execute LSU one of the top three SEC football programs this insatiable need to think you're smarter than everybody and you see something the rest of us don't that har and Lincoln Riley can't coach give me a break USC was a dead program four wins 30 division one players and they won 11 games the next year but like Harbaugh at Michigan they weren't really nearly as good and they're still not as talented as Ohio State Georgia b or Texas USC does not have this morning that kind of talent and they may not have Oregon either and the criticism of Lincoln Riley that did to me that was fair and that made sense and was reasonable was okay okay he's won games we know he can design plays we know he's pretty damn smart offensively and man what he does with quarterbacks all of them is Magic but there was one question and it was reasonable is can he build his own culture because Oklahoma's always good not much of a rebuild in Oklahoma a down year at Oklahoma is like nine or 10 wins top five program ever so that criticism can he build his own staff and his own culture was fair and his first try at it the defensive staff was terrible but now he rebooted deanon Lynn is now the defensive coordinator he'll be in the NFL in two years this defensive staff is the first time it wasn't that USC won USC's been scoring points forever they scored him with Clay Lincoln Sark kein Pete but it was the first time since Pete Carroll that you watch the USC staff and you see other head coaches on the staff beyond the head coach Lincoln riy that you literally felt they were going up against an SEC team with a $10 million a year coach and they out executed they outcoached they outsmarted they outplanned they out adjusted that's been missing USC could have won 37 to 34 and you wouldn't feel the same way that you felt winning narrowly in a lower scoring game because USC with Caleb Williams and you'll see how good he is in Chicago had to put on the cape to beat teams like Arizona now they can go toe-to-toe coaching execution quarterback secondary they look like a real team again are they a 12 team playoff team I think they are um I don't think they're Ohio State I don't think they're Georgia Bama I don't think they have that kind of talent but it's not that they won it's how they won people all over the country on social media were saying look at the tackling which is like loving a carpenter because he's good with a hammer and a nail shouldn't he be isn't that the isn't that the foundational piece all construction guys are good at no that's how bad it's been at USC so Lincoln Riley I know I know you're trying to tell us that you're magical you can see stuff the rest of us can't with harbon Lincoln Riley you also try to sell us on nfts which are now worthless and that was pretty good maybe not great it was pretty good and LSU is going to run the table the next four or five weeks and blow people out go look at their schedule so stop telling me LSU is no good LSU is almost always good they wanton a national title with that orer on they got Brian Kelly they'll be fine hi
