0:00.0	Hey guys, guy here. Coming up on the show today, some reactions from OTAs and a guest, the defensive coordinator from Texas Tech, one of the best in the country.
0:10.2	He was nearly, he was up for the award for the best assistance in the country, the broil's awards named Sheel Wood.
0:16.7	Defensive coordinator of Texas Tech, they had a great year last year, had a bunch of guys drafted, had a bunch of guys' first team all Big 12. Among them, Romello Hyde, who the Niners drafted in the third
0:24.6	round, and who it feels like the Niners want to be able to rely on immediately this year on defense.
0:33.2	And so that's coming up. That's what we'll talk to him about. First, some thoughts now that
0:39.0	OTA's, the Niners' Offseason is concluded. Things I'm thinking about coming out of 49ers,
0:43.3	OTA is number one. Brock Pretty has a special environment around him. He starts this year at
0:48.5	26 years old, 26, 27, 28, 29. This is that primo time. This is when you make a multi-year leap. And, you know,

1:25.4	To me, that's a thing this year, is like Poonie had so much

1:34.4	You didn't have to, you weren't replacing him. But could he step into that? Could he be your
1:40.4	second or third best offensive lineman, like clear cut? Could he be, maybe ranking offensive linemen is not the way to do it, but tier, right?
1:47.5	Tier one is Trent.
1:48.8	Tier two is clearly McKivitt, the way they talk about it, Brendel.
1:52.6	Can Poonie be clearly there for the whole year?
1:57.6	Anyway, you run the ball a little more efficiently.
2:00.3	You look at some of the, like,
