Well welcome to try to -- extra on -- had -- CSF Bay Area back Cavendish finished up chronicle I have not done this course that they are we talk at all about the niners and Bears match up there we shall continue. For the next thirty minutes and actually kicked the game off until. About 535. So we'll keep you entertained -- -- ready for this pivotal game for both teams welcome Greg Papa joined by Lorenzo Neal longtime NFL fullback. And it JJ Stokes a former forty niner wide receiver eager to play the game a long long time so. Very simply. How big of a football game JJ is this too. The niners I mean it again after a great start loss for a row for three and five Arizona's two games ahead of them. If they don't win this game tonight it makes when the NFC west tough but would you put this game the night in a must win category for the niners. Absolutely a must win for the San Francisco 49ers their second in the division right now and the way that Arizona plays there up one week down another I still think that they. Number wise I think they have a chance to stay in it so this is crucial tonight that they get off I mean the second half of the season. No better way to start to with a victory. What do you think -- they lose again tonight will be very tough for them to make the. Playoffs without a doubt like -- it is and this is a very political game for those guys. Senses before and has got to come out tonight and play with some emotions for four quarters they have the finish the game. And they need this win -- stay you know stay pace with Arizona Cardinals was Arizona after watching this turning a little momentum going. -- Kurt Warner stern has been a ball around really well so how they -- for me bettors when the night. They are high power to get off to a bit of a slow start -- in order had that hip problem that they are humming it. Offers that it even have a Anquan Boldin active for the game last week they had enough from Larry FitzGerald and Steve Breaston do what to beat Chicago handily at Soldier Field what do you say OH wait a little bit here we are analyzed Iliad or we gotta be interactive with the audience that's an incendiary that -- First one comes from outfielder Kosuke -- NF. Guys what position do you think is the 49ers. Biggest need changes at quarterback there offensive tackle. He needs -- defensive ends slash outside linebacker. Type to rush the quarterback or they need more help on the back and it's safe. I like. The defense of -- I and I think they're leading. Sacker right now is Ray McDonald with three sacks in right now I think they need to put more pressure up front on the quarterbacks in. That'll allow the secondary to make more plays more interceptions I think it'll that allow the defense to. To enhance itself because right now they don't put any pressure while they all have mortars on the front line. Nobody really gets to the quarterback consistently so I would say the defensive line. And had. Second that you gotta -- When you have a good pass -- or he demands a double team in the and you have to have some other guys on the front. To you know to get the singles to win the singles if you have a -- man out there on the and in its gonna come around that corner and demanded doubles but other guys have to win so I would address you know those those outside without a doubt. Think -- -- -- to -- that you're getting -- the quarterback effect that they can -- shot marriage in the final -- do you think -- any negatives that. And it sounds like they're not gonna bring him back in San Diego I don't -- he'd like Shawn Marion and I wonder Shawne Merriman. In the offseason would -- -- the niners a free agent and. Did you -- that. I can see that happening cause definitely and I don't really think he's gonna come back to sending a lot of things I think it's the marriage is over -- so can be a great place weren't. AJ Smith has already assaulted him once too many times the question is. -- Shawne Merriman the player that he was earlier. Dwayne Davis -- and was so much coaching talent available can anyone say that coach saying it is safe after this season without. A big winning streak what Dwight is referring do. You have three coaches. Currently unemployed. That have won Super Bowls has had coaches that have ties. To this organization Mike Shanahan a former offensive coordinator Mike -- the former offensive coordinator. And Jon Gruden I think he got Mike Holmgren coffee when he got pressure did you -- your record if three guys so. Is it definitely no matter what they do the second half of the year JJ is this Mike Singletary is team next year or might they go after one of these big name coaches. I think Mike Singletary whose job is safe I think one thing that he's done this season still of the mindset. These guys they haven't. They haven't executed it every time but you can see that they're headed in the right direction they're aggressive they're physical they can eliminate the turnovers I think they can turn the second half -- their season around so Mike Singletary definitely has my vote. Because he's a guy that leads his team. Without a doubt a. Think Mike Singletary is safe. You know cause he'd like a genius and he's a motivated and if you look at the National Football League even in college. The trend is going Connie younger coaches because these guys can relate to the players they're out there they can move around with these players. They don't over bear these these guys they treat them like -- and sometimes the older coaches I mean. Feel old school mentality sometimes a star and a you know go away with and I see that you look at -- Josh McDaniels in the game but look around the national probably there's a lot of younger coaches so I think deterrent. For that many coaches it's still in right now. Are we just received word that Vernon Davis is in a pregame. Altercation. I don't know exactly what they what happened but they get after each other with out of Wally Ogunleye the one guy that he actually said he liked. He said the rest of their front seven they shot but a lot of Bentley has a good player of the former. Adulthood and bear it so they did they're just doing a lot of jog a friend again the guys -- flag to kicked out of the game before they even kick it off but. I don't wanna add here that at that they'd thought process here of what Vernon Davis is doing because football is an emotional game. And when you rile up a defense like that you play with more emotion on defense and an offense is more cerebral. Defense is just run of the round while the trying to kill people why would this guy try to light up their defense JJ by saying I don't think they're very good from watching film. I understand that there 28 against the run I understand all those things when it comes in this defense. Brian Urlacher down I mean they're not the same defense but you know never wanna give a team ammunition. Going into the week's play I think. He if he could take give back I think he would rephrase that -- give them. Given the benefit of the doubt but at the same time realize where they are ranking and why they're in that position but know that you can exploit that defense I would never give a team ammunition going into the week because they're gonna use as fuel and like you said tonight's gonna be an emotional game you don't want any added emotion. They you know what Bob my dad always told me hungry bear -- that's so but today you you give those guys -- -- fired they're gonna you know has been on the billboards all week. But you have to look at its full book after the -- to get hit in the mouth after the first place you've got to play football for sixty -- right. So I think the idea right now on the Jones -- -- but after the first quarter and hey it's about X and o's it's about executing so I don't think that that's gonna have a huge bearing. If there in Chicago with that in Soldier Field with a loud crowd noise I would say oh watch out. But I think tonight in San Francisco at home you have the crowd the crowd loves it you've got the team fired up let's -- I love it. Yeah definitely happily -- I'm still not put me in the game could always definitely and it went after -- I would think for Tubby Harrison that. But it is Alex Brown other great defensive end is the guy that he's calling out so we'll see how this one. Unfolds little watch -- what -- asking barber to better play well tonight but think what march we're here for Brandon. What makes this team out of four game losing streak the one to defy precedent. They go to the Super Bowl and they actually that there was watching the 2002 Oakland Raiders lost four row. Went to the Super Bowl that year they won four in -- -- Open your loss for the ones that they've won the Super Bowl wound up losing to Tampa Bay but she can't go to the Super Bowl with a four game losing streak but probably not a five game losing streak changed. Absolutely not and by the way I wouldn't get ahead of ourselves as far as talking about the suitable I would give it time they are definitely -- -- -- this year but yet they're trying to get over that hump right now they got to eliminate that. The minor the minor. Turnovers they had offside penalties I mean they need to be more detail oriented I think. Mike Singletary is plan is now for them to be there this year obviously I think you know you gotta take it in steps in this year's just not. Quite ready for the San Francisco four and as -- take it to a Super Bowl left. Now but they're excited they're there there are they're excited they're the niners -- fans want to see them go to -- but we'll we'll see like like JD San. We we gotta look at this look at this team and say this team right now doesn't seem like you're doing because they're not executing. You know good teams find a way to win bad teams find -- -- And right now. They're bad team they have Tomlin here and there in these games they're close they're so close but -- -- find a way to finish it and they're not a dorm that if they wanna be good team they got -- finally -- -- brand is Harken back to the days when he played wide receivers they were the they're pretty gathered they were stacked of. Yeah as I let her you know -- defeated Andy Murray did a great job yeah Jackson lofty expectations has won five Super Bowls I don't think we gotta make the playoffs for the first types and so to a that they can. We gotta wanna Super Bowl for the first time since we crushing Diego way back when when Steve threw six and five -- --
