Start the San Francisco 49ers won their first regular season game against the New York Jets 32 to9 we talk about the stats from that game and we look forward to the next game against the Vikings in this edition of 49ers uncover [Music] Host Introductions hey how's it going everyone my name is Mace you can find me on Twitter C King 4917 is with me as always on 49ers uncovered my co-host Chris how you doing brother I'm doing good how are you great that week one win really feels good um WK1 Recap had some Monday scaries though at CMC last second scratch wasn't feeling it so uh Shanahan did say though that if it was a playoff game he would have win in what are your thoughts on that yeah I mean it's normally not good to have him out there but JP Mason going all the way back to training camp has been a stud so you know he's if you're gonna have to have somebody fill in for CNC he's the one that's going to do it yeah for sure um did a lot of offseason work got a j machine we were kind of talking about him um not breaking you don't want to say a player breaks out in the preseason but he really showed his stuff and he runs people over gets those extra yards fights um had a great catch too a couple of them actually I really I mean no one can be CMC CMC is in his own league right but Jordan Mason was a pretty good pretty good showing of what a running back can and should be in a Kyle Shanahan offense what are your final thoughts on his 147 allpurpose yards spectacular I hope he keeps it going in week two man yeah for sure that'd be really nice to see um do you think they should hold CMC out week two I know at the beginning of the game that was kind of like the thought like the Niners turn around they have a 10 a.m. game Pacific time next week the game is in Minnesota though so if you were the head coach if you were Kyle Shanahan would you put CMC in or after the emergence of Jordan Mason would you kind of roll with him I mean maybe I'm just running on the high of what Jordan Mason did last night but I think you probably got to keep CMC out until he's a WK1 Starters 100% you know take no chances yeah no I agree with that as well um bring him back kind of fake it till we make it I guess you could say the starters for the offense for the 49ers Brandon auk was in there um Trent Williams Aaron Banks Brendle Poney who had a really good showing mckivitz not so much KD Samuel perie yusek and Jordan Mason on the defensive side of the ball Bosa Collins harra Floyd with your front Campbell Warner and Flanigan fouls at the third linebacker Ward Lenor odm and brown and then we saw a little bit of yam but yam did not officially start um we'll talk about the scoring plays Moody had six field goals and Sam dvo Samuel had a two-yard touchdown run Jordan Mason had a five-yard touchdown run what is that kind of how you envision the backfield um going for the ners we didn't see I think gendo is in for like a play or two yeah so do you think Who is the RB2? Samuel's the the rb2 going forward or what what do we think about that possibly I mean it's it's hard to say what they're going to do on that from game to game but yeah with Jordan Mason in there you're not going to need much behind him probably yeah um also Trent Williams did have a couple little mental stuff but he had a fairly good game overall uh he also had to go into the locker room and scared everyone for a minute not really sure why he ran in there but he ended up just needing Ivy came back and finished the game out uh what are your thoughts on the line um not too bad mckivitz did have a couple little things that went wrong I think he had a penalty or was it two yeah it was one or two he was yeah he didn't have his best or maybe that was his best showing who knows yes so the best pass blocking grade for PFF was actually Jordan Mason number two was berford and then puny and then Trent Williams but all of the Niners starters aside from Banks um had a 70% or higher Banks had a 57% so um no sacks allowed uh let's see two pressures from brindle two from mckivitz I kind of feel like if you know you put the line down you actually look at it analyze it that's kind of where you would think that the pressures would be coming from puny had one pressure as well but to come out as what third round pick and just be you know the the sack Street continues or the anti-ac street continues here to say um you got anything else on that line no I mean Trent Williams going back into the locker room and getting an IV after not play playing the whole pre-season no you kind of gotta give him a little bit of a break he'll get his stamina yeah no it was just more scary than anything I'm just like wait they're not saying anything why is he like he's jogging he looks fine of course he does comat okay um so before the game we text each other and we're kind of asking each other what our keys to the victory were yours were no turnovers make Rogers Pass to beat us no crazy Bree Hall game right and then the o line needed to step up do you think that they hit your keys to Hosts Keys to Victory victory yeah I think so I I think they did a pretty good job at those yeah they um they definitely I guess you can't I don't want to say they stopped Bree Hall they put a nice damper on him was the first game he did to get a score in the beginning but uh not really much after that my key points to the victory where whoever Z line was going to hold up the most was going to be successful and I think that was true light and cmc's load and spread out the ball a little spoiler alert CMC didn't get the ball but a lot of other people did Jordan Mason showed out so that one I guess doesn't really count and then no big plays from Rogers and Company and I feel like the Niners really put a lid on that as well uh going over to the defensive side of the ball Lenor was targeted 10 times that's uh that's pretty crazy but he's the reason why we got that interception right he had the tit ball that ended up going over to flan fouls what are your thoughts on that do you think uh Lenor is here to stay do you think he's going to be tested a lot more throughout the year do you think people are G to look at what he did up against Aaron Rogers and go well maybe we need to start targeting the linebackers yeah I mean they might test him but I personally think he's good enough to pass the test yeah no he did really well um I before I thought that I'd mentioned that Yen was going to be more of an outside guy and Lenor is going to be in the slot but Lenor is looking like he's going to be everywhere regardless yeah um okay so Rogers went 13 for 21 167 yards one touchdown one pick he was sacked one time Jets total for 68 rushing yards and it was 16 attempts 54 yards and one touchdown in the beginning of the game for Hall which is really good for the ners defense um Alan Lazard was the leading Jets wide receiver who caught six of nine targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns what year is it right um one of those was from Tyron Taylor because Aaron Rogers didn't finish off the game I think with the last one or two drives uh Aaron Rogers is just like nothing thanks like four minutes left or something um yeah the offensive line on PFF they had a 9612 pass block win rate which is insanely good uh we'll look at the final Defensive Stats from WK1 defensive stats for the Jets Adams safety had a sack and 12 combined tackles uh Mosley had nine tackles he was kind of in and out of the game he got injured for a second I think it was his hander his wrist came back in um Williams had six tackles nothing too crazy couple pass defenses from the defensive backs actually Williams had one as well uh for the ners Fred Warner was everywhere all over the field uh seven combined tackles he had that Force fumble where he pretty much punched the ball out of Bree Hall's hand that was a really just phenomenal classic Fred Warner legendary play man um his side mate Campbell had five tackles as well the only sack in the game actually came from Leonard Floyd on the outside and boa had five pressures uh you want to talk about this defense anymore no overall it was solid man they were flying all over the field yeah so um Warner did have the fumble and then we talked about the interception by by F Flanigan fouls uh who played I want to say 44% of snaps only six defensive players played in 100% of snaps and that's Odum which was surprising for me but he showed out he did his job he did really well um him and brown both played 100% And they were I think one had 14 snaps in the box and one had 13 or one had 11 or one had 12 something like that but it was nice to see them going back and forth being interchangeable not so much for my fantasy team because I did start tyer Brown and expected him to have a big week excuse me Lenor Warner Campbell and Ward all played 100% you got any thoughts on those guys I like it man I mean it it was solid we'll see what happens in week two but I was very impressed by all of those guys actually yeah honestly I think brosa could have had a sacker too but um he was getting held by his throat on a couple plays one time he tried to spin and dude wrapped him up and was like literally in a reverse choke hold lit which was insane uh he played 48 plays which is 94% of snaps as well uh players who didn't play Players Who Didn’t Play as Much offense for us in week one Coen well not just offense sorry both sides Cen Rocky Taylor breun reonardo green second round pick uh Mustafa and Robinson but Robinson did have a lot of special teams plays uh you got anything on those guys um the one that surprised me was Rock yain um I've kind of since they picked him up always expected him to rotate in and out um but that didn't happen I don't know if we'll see that in week two but we'll see yeah so we had a lot of high hopes for these rookies especially as they went through preseason um they'll probably come in midseason you know be certain spots obviously they're all special teams hitters so that's good to see that we have a youth movement there and kind of can incorporate incorporate them into the game um but I think the biggest not surprised but like the biggest thing for us was having someone be able to step in for funga and odm has done done a phenomenal job in that um let's see here okay so real quick we both play Fantasy I write for RPO football and do rankings at fantasy pros so I just want to touch on the top Top Fantasy Performers fantasy performers and these are all from points from fantasy pros as well half Point PPR our boy Jake Moody was the leader of the game he had 26 fantasy points uh Stellar amazing game joint one off the uh cross air or the cross right oh my God I can't talk right now bumped one off across and ended up going in so that was really cool to see uh JP Mason 21.2 fantasy points wide receiver SL running back I guess again Debo Samuel with 13.7 points and Brock py only had 10.3 but he really didn't have to do much because the game kind of was I don't know he just kind of had to manage it right and that's what he does best so um for the defensive side Fred Warner 13 points he had the fourth fumble at seven combined Leonard Floyd with a sack and some tackles FL and fouls with interception a couple tackles and Nick Bosa had five pressures but only umis 2.3 fantasy points I wouldn't say Don't Panic if you play ADP and yosa that's just kind of the nature of the Beast he'll have a couple multiat games he'll have a couple where he doesn't get much but he's the number one target for defenses when they're looking at their pass and run I think outside of Fred Warner obviously so um yeah okay so we'll move on to injuries here how long CMC Talk should the Niners keep CMC out um I'm gonna say until he's 100% the way JP Mason's running there's no reason to rushing back I mean I know he's he's a top player in the NFL but if JP Mason keeps running like he is don't rush him back yeah do you think our linebacker room is good without Dre Greenlaw right now are you worried about it at all um not too worried obviously he is a step up from what they have so it will be welcomed thing to get him back but you know I'm not too worried yeah F fouls actually he has a really good uh the way that he kind of reads the defense and goes and gets into the back field he's super good at that it's just finishing that play or taking that right angle at the last minute last night I think twice Bree Hall kind of got him broke him off uh one time and another time he just flat out Miss a tackle so you got to finish those plays but um that'll be green law out there in a couple weeks doing that with Campbell and Warner and as we said before that is going to be a scary sight for opposing offenses okay so on IR um Clea Davis 49ers Injury Report defensive tackle Drake Jackson still and then Amry Thomas with a forearm Ricky piol was shot in the chest so he's on he's not gonna be able to play till at least October 6 he's on the NFI list um let's see I just oh yeah Drake green law as well with the Achilles not going to be back till at least October 6 Joshua dos was out just because he was the third rotational quarterback uh darl Luther yeah Daryl Luther was out as well coach's decision CMC with the calf injury as we stated D winter still has the ankle injury so he was out um hunga might come back next week who knows do you think hunga should come back next week or are we okay with what we got there I doubt that he will um that's just my gut feeling yeah but so is it concerning for you with uh Mustafa with both those safeties getting 100% of time and then the Niners rotating more yach him in in the slot then bringing in another defensive back do you think odm Safeties Talk stays in the game when huanga comes back or do you think that it's just going to be 100% for him and brown um I think he'll get he'll rotate in and out probably yeah I mean like 30 40% of snaps maybe on certain packages in certain weeks but I I don't think he'll have like a full on drop off to like zero and just be a full-time special teams guy again I think he's playing well enough and he's kind of grasped the defense enough he's been there long enough to um show that he's just I mean obviously he's more than just a special teams guy so um moving it over to our next segment we'll talk about the game ahead or do you have any other thoughts on this game before we move on no I think we covered it one thing that I totally forgot that you text me about before the game that we need to talk Aiyuk looked Rusty about is Brandon auk's gorgeous dive of a drop that was in the end zone he had some issues did you expect this would happen are you worried for the future a little bit it's always kind of shocking to see it happen with the play Brandon IU but when you've been out you know he's been holding out for months so didn't really see the field so you kind of got expected yeah him and or auk and Trent Williams both kind of felt the suck for a minute right but uh they definitely I think pending um the circumstances of them not playing or whatever I think they did all right but as Brandon iuk being paid like you know he want to be paid like he was a top five top 10 top 20 guy um top 10 guys at the wide receiver position make that catch perie is getting paid not enough to be throwing dimes like that for to be good in 30 a year and dropping it so hopefully that can uh switch up and I feel like in the postgame presser or not the pressor they're kind of asking him next to his locker I think and he was kind of like uh yeah I definitely should have caught that right so okay um we'll WK2 vs Minnesota move forward to this game in Minnesota the Vikings won last week it was against the Giants but they put it on them pretty heavily um what do you think about the Minnesota beating the Giants 28 to6 last week and do you think they're going to be a good match up for the Niners um I mean it was a good showing but the New York Giants are not you know one of the best teams in the NFL they've struggled for quite some time yeah no for sure they're like um them and the Panthers are probably going to be in the running for the worst team in the NFL or at least they definitely have a bid for it after week one I believe so okay so Sam dra Revenge game this week maybe uh hopefully not I don't really think so but uh he did go 19 for 24 208 yards two touchdowns one interception uh their key players on offense obviously jeda Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison they have uh Jones at running back van gekle Matt Tellis Cashman Pace Harrison Smith and cam bam on defense so they do have some good players it was really I think the preseason questions were is Sam darnold Vikings Injury Report a QB won and JJ McCarthy is out for the year correct yeah okay so let's take a look at the Minnesota Vikings injury report so the only the only person that's on the report right now that I'm seeing that is questionable and not on IR is Jordan Addison for his ankle uh got an injury in week one they've got Blackman who's a corner he's on he's out for the year T.J Hawkinson is going to be out for a couple weeks this he's on the pup for the ACL MCL injury JJ McCarthy for his knee miniscus out for the year and then H defensive end Murphy and Corner Thompson so nothing too crazy there do you do you think that the lack of all if Jordan Addison can't play do you think that really hinders their offense at all for Sam darnold um I think what we saw from Sam darnold last week is probably about as good as you're ever gonna get from s not trying guy but I think that's just a reality yeah so that's the good news for the 49ers yeah for sure they got probably some good tape on them um I I didn't get to watch that game but Sam Dar catching Strays here on 49ers un cover um okay so the players that played the most on the field were the safeties Vikings Key Players Cameron bham Harrison Smith Josh matelis for Minnesota so that's showing that they keep a lot of secondary guys on the field Blake Cashman is their primary linebacker that wears the green dots he had five tackles and was targeted five times the pass game last week Josh matalas a strong safety was targeted nine times Brian Murphy Jr outside corner targeted eight times and gave up six receptions if my mouse would work here uh none of them though gave up a touchdown and not sure if that's because of them or that's because of Daniel Jones Daniel Jones did throw a touchdown though to a player on the Vikings van GLE was one of two pick sixes that week I don't know if you saw that play it was it was on a screen literally ranking got a great jump went outside uh kind went to assess the play and Ball's like right there he just grabbed it it was I think it's like a five or seven yard touchdown because the Giants was so backed up um at least it was inside of the 20 it was pretty bad but uh with that said on offense Minnesota was only three for 10 on third down they had two or yeah two turnovers and four punts they didn't kick a field goal game um are you I know I guess are you surprised that Sam darnold is having trouble converting on third down um not really yeah I think it's going to be a lot harder to convert on third down against the ners so that's kind of like a a glimmer of hope there maybe something they can take in not a lot was working for them on third down against one of not the best teams in the NFL um though they do have a pretty good pass rush between thibo and burns or yeah Giants te I'm sorry um so they would have disappeared though but that's just IDP and me talking here um Okay so let's see yeah they run primarily one linebacker sets um Ivan Pace Jr is a secondary linebacker in Minnesota he played 55% of snaps in week one what do Keys to A WK2 Victory you think the keys to Victory should be for the ners in this matchup in Minnesota I think basically do what they did in week one Jordan Mason um that's got a high percentage chance of working yeah um yeah okay um so yeah I think the big key here is going to be exactly do what we did last week don't show off too much of the Playbook if we don't have to do you think that the ners should open up with another secondary running back do you think we bring up someone from the practice squad are we G to sign someone is gendo the real deal what what is the move here because I feel like putting Debo Samuel back there though he is nasty you don't want to put him out there consecutive weeks and do it and give the looks um you want to keep that guy as high or as close to 100% as you can and it's a long season yeah um I'm not sure what they're gonna do they still have Patrick Taylor on the death chart and gindo it looks like Patrick Taylor is listed higher on the dep chart right now okay from what I've seen but yeah yeah he did have a he had a pretty good last game in the preseason yeah so I'm looking at the Giants defensive backs last week and outside corner Banks was targeted five times secondary middle linebacker sorry lb2 uh masasu I probably butchered his name Darius he was targeted three times uh slot Corner was targeted twice as well as a bunch of other players I think the Giants um just got kind of rolled over and I don't really know if we could look at that and take anything with it it's such a small sample size but to know that at least the outside quarterback was tested that offense that probably comes from Justin Jefferson what do you think the Niners have to do to kind of put a lid on that man's game because he is the best if not one of top three wide receiv receivers movie on who he is it's hard to say that you could really put a lid on his game but you know double teaming that's about it right yeah you got to do that just kind of hope that uh the ners front guys um can set the edge and contain Jones because we've seen Jones kind of go off in the past when he's a packer he's got that ability to just rush for four touchdowns out of nowhere right just so you got to put a on that guy as well um I think the key of the game though is going to be getting to darnold making him see those ghosts and kind of making him feel like he cannot beat the ners because that is a hard thing to do especially with that defense um your final thoughts how big was the week one win did the Niners get any momentum and what is your outlook for week two um it was a big win you know most people came into that game knowing that the Jets were very solid on defense and you know they're offense isn't bad either but yeah yeah um how great would it be to start off two and0 oh it' be nice and I think they're going to do it I would hope so as well uh we just got to stay away from the Trap game but I think coming away from week one we saw something that maybe we haven't seen from the ners in a while um not not a while but you have a player like CMC who is the best in the league at his position and you have a guy Jordan Mason who kind of struggled last year a little bit not really sure about him and he comes in he almost puts up 150 All Purpose um on top of the line we had the worst of auk I think that we've seen in a while last night and Trent Williams though he played well he was still a little rusty uh mckivitz didn't play that great either and Brock py kind of had to find himself so I think getting away with the win as big as we did like that was really good I got some of the cobwebs off but uh you know it's time it's time to roll I guess somewhat shortened week so if the ners can do that uh with the backup running back still that'll be good to go do the Niners change their game plan at all or do you think they should just roll out the same exact way yeah I don't think they do you don't change success you know with with Minnesota's 49ers Gameplan in WK2 defense especially the Niners on offense it's you got to roll with what happened last week yeah so Debo had nine targets Jan Jennings five k five auk four auk only had 28 yards Jan Jennings was perfect five for five the only perfect wide receiver Kyle yuse cheek want to give him a shout also he had that nasty little looked like an out and he kind of wheeled it up it's one of those training camp plays they run a lot um in drills and prie and Juice are like the best to do it I love that play he kind of gets sneaky out there so first couple games in the season at the beginning the middle and the end where juice kind of has that showing he was getting filthy with it and blocking too so good to see that uh you got anything else for us before we close us out shout out to Jan Jen man that guy he just brings it yeah third third and Jawan he got hurt brushed it off came back in was a stud great big Target man that guy can do it all um I'm mace that's Chris we'll see Outro you next time on 49ers on cover thanks for stoping by
