I'm here with John Dickinson from K&B R 49ers reporter. We found ourselves a little spot right here to talk and there might be some beeping or other stuff that happens, but JD, let's talk for 15- 20 minutes before the nighters go on the field.

But there's so many different ways to go, but I will say, so today we just saw Fred Warner and

Nick Bosa talk and Kyle Shanahan. And I can't imagine there's been a Super Bowl participant like we have here

stake if you win it, it's just the box that's supposed to be checked and then you move on to the next.

But when you look at that, I think, you know, that makes it more difficult to get up.

It makes it basically like an October game or a November game right

but to be warned by the fact that you almost got beat and then not be able to come

back and play with an effort level that you think is standard when you're a

franchise that basically from Jump has been trying to win a Super Bowl this season.

That was pretty incredible.

Yeah.
