unspecial teams today.

0:02.9

There it is. Can't make a kick.

0:21.0

2014 and 2021. Unspecial teams. I want Bessaca and McManus' heads in a platter, not on a platter. You're an amazing person. You know that, don't you? You guys, I was thinking about this earlier. You remember last year in the offseason there was rumors that Bissacha might retire. He might step away.

0:36.4

And then I remember them asking Matt LaFleur about it in the off season. He said, yeah, he's kind of thinking about making the decision or whatever. And he decided to come back. I think Bessachio will probably, I don't know if he'll hang it up for good, but I think he will step away. I've just got a vibe there. I don't know. I could be wrong.

0:39.3

Did I make that up in my mind?

0:53.7

Or was there something there last year where he was kind of like. Yeah. I think they were going to say that they might, you know, venture to that at the end of the season kind of thing and talk about it. But he was, he's, you know, had focused on this season kind of thing. that one.

0:56.8

All right, guys, Mac, again, thank you for the unspecial thing. Do you guys think that there is nothing there, though, with the special team stuff? Like, just, I'm playing devil's advocate right here. Like, so. What are you trying to say, Jacob? I'm just saying, if God smack over here, he keeps paying us money. I mean, we might as well.

1:14.5

I'm just saying, though, today we did have some special teams stirrups, right? Like, it did not,

1:21.6

it wasn't the amount of money that we're paying necessarily the guy to we get what our money's worth um

1:30.3

i don't again i'm probably in a minority here i don't put macmanus smith and phil goes on

1:36.0

on besotcha and i've made my opinion pretty pretty clear that i think it's how

1:41.9

brian good against builds the roster.

1:45.7

Special teams is not a focal point.

1:46.2

It's not.

2:00.9

They don't treat it like one-third of the game. And I'm not saying you necessarily should treat it like one-third of the game. But it's obvious there needs to be more emphasis on that aspect of the roster. And again, could you clarify because you did this earlier with the – Basically, it means that when you have a West west coast offense you have to build your roster to basically fit what you want to do well you know what i'm trying

2:07.2

to say right you don't have to but history has shown us that the bill walsh tree right when you've got a

2:14.9

west coast offense head coach they typically the bottom of the roster

2:19.9

those and it's more of a general manager tree an executive tree from a west coast like for example

2:25.6

you know rome wolf comes in right and he brings in um essentially that's where ted thompson

2:31.6

came from he was in ron wolf's tree right well ron from, you know, the West Coast offense kind of approach, right? So it went down to Ted Thompson. Yeah, exactly. Like so they, they treat the bottom of the roster like, man, we could go get this undrafted free agent. I would rather carry a six receiver that's got a nine plus RAS and whatever

2:51.7

their athletic score grading system is rather than let me go get this stumper that he,
