The Right Time with Bomani Jones — Episode Summary

Episode Title: Kyle Shanahan Mystery + Aaron Donald’s Potential Return | 7.28
Release Date: July 28, 2026
Host: Bomani Jones
Guest: Jason Goff

Episode Overview

This episode dives into two major stories in the sports world:

• The puzzling secrecy around San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan’s serious car accident.
• The potentially landscape-shifting NFL news about Aaron Donald’s possible return to team up with Miles Garrett.

Bomani Jones and returning guest Jason Goff, in their signature conversational and incisive style, break down the odd lack of transparency from NFL power players, the ethics of sports journalism, and what happens when second-chance stories come full circle. The latter half brings lighter but sharp reactions to LeBron James’ move to Philly, his fit with the 76ers’ new superteam, and wraps with classic football talk and sports culture moments.

Main Segment 1: The Kyle Shanahan Accident Mystery

Timestamps: 05:35 – 27:21

Key Discussion Points

• Delayed Reporting of Shanahan's Accident (05:35–10:48):

  • Shanahan’s accident, resulting in broken ribs and a severe concussion, occurred July 14, but became public only 11 days later.
  • Both hosts are bewildered at how such significant news involving “one of the 10 most famous people in your region” could be kept quiet so long.
    • Bomani Jones (06:42): “He got fucked up in a car accident… The 49ers got to tell us about this. What level of shenanigans are we talking about?”
    • Jason Goff (07:47): “Not a chance [we wouldn’t know]. The hospital, the cops, somebody always leaks it—unless you got real connections.”

• Media Complicity and NFL Journalism (09:46–15:58):

  • Speculation on what’s really being hidden—Was this a cover-up? Why did media wait so long?
    • Bomani (09:46): “...inclined to believe there are shenanigans at play. I don’t know what, but this is the beginning.”
    • Jason Goff (12:37): “PR vs. journalism... Are you the PR arm or are you reporting stories fans have a right to know?”
  • Discussion about differences in national vs. local news coverage, shrinking independence in sports journalism, and the NFL’s tightening control over narratives.

• Structural Issues and The ‘Fixer’ Theory (15:58–17:16):

  • Musings on the institutional power to keep stories buried, describing the “fixers” who intervene with media and even authorities.
    • Jason Goff (16:13): “Somebody is really good at their job in the Bay as a fixer. There you have it.”

• Small Town Loyalty and Law Enforcement (17:21–18:18):

  • Explores whether smaller NFL cities shield their local stars more than “big media” towns.
    • Bomani: “Some college towns send you to jail... not all treat their football heroes the same.”

• Surprise Interim Coach: Chris Foerster’s Redemption Arc (18:35–27:21):

  • The 49ers’ interim coach, Chris Foerster, is infamous for having been caught on video using cocaine in his office (back when he coached in Miami).
    • Bomani (19:54): “This man... is most famous for all the things I just told you is an NFL head coach... Just how good is it to be white? My God...”
    • Jason Goff (21:37): “Chris Foerster... sent a video in the office, on the desk, with the rolled up dollar bill. Because I'm a real player. This ain't no new money here.”
  • Extended riff on second chances, sports’ selective forgiveness, and how quickly certain scandals are buried—especially for white coaches.
    • Bomani (25:38): “You gotta have a path back for people... He did something extremely stupid... went to rehab... But Kyle done come through for the brothers too.”
    • Both marvel at how “clean up” jobs work differently for various people in sports organizations.

Main Segment 2: LeBron James, The Sixers, and Philly Fit

Timestamps: 32:45 – 52:09

Key Discussion Points

• LeBron’s New Look & Culture Fit (32:45–37:05):

  • Lebron’s “bald head and Philly beard”—jokes about Philly’s signature look.
    • Bomani (32:45): “He all the way, you know, leaning in on... the Philadelphia beard. I saw somebody say the Beijing supply in Philly gonna go through the roof with LeBron.”

• Team Chemistry and Leadership Dynamics (37:05–41:23):

  • Can LeBron, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid make it work?
    • Jason Goff (37:05): “This is three dudes you’ve competed against. I’m interested to see how LeBron lets things happen.”
    • Bomani (41:23): “It's Embiid where you hit there. I don’t know if there’s any way to play with Embiid other than a world where Embiid is the center of everything.”

• The “Baseball Lineup” Theory & Bench Depth (39:37–41:36):

  • With 76ers’ stars’ health risks and personalities, the key to a deep run is handling shifting leadership game-to-game.

• Nick Nurse as ‘Great Coach’ vs. ‘Good Coach’ (41:36–41:54):

  • Comparing current and past NBA championship teams’ need for top-level coaching to handle superstar egos and rotations.

• LeBron’s Commuting & Reputation (41:55–47:16):

  • The rumor: LeBron will live in NYC, helicoptering to Philly for games/practices.
    • Bomani (45:13): “I think he would ingratiate himself so much to that market just by getting a spot in Philadelphia and being there... you kind of just big timed him.”
    • Jason Goff (46:46): “The way you introduce yourself to a fan base is so important.”

• Joking About the Philly Introduction (47:21–48:35):

  • Imagining Nike’s marketing campaign: Rocky steps, Meek Mill soundtrack, running with locals—all the Philly signifiers.
    • Jason Goff (47:21): “You think Nike on it?... That’s how y' all would have found out.”

• Kyrie in Philadelphia Hypotheticals (49:40–51:19):

  • If Kyrie were in Philly: “He’d become a legend and also talk himself right out of the league.”
  • Lamenting the lost era when ex-NBA players became local color commentators; now the money's too good for most stars to stick around post-career.

Main Segment 3: Aaron Donald’s “Return” & Defensive Domination

Timestamps: 52:09 – 61:22

Key Discussion Points

• Aaron Donald + Miles Garrett = Mayhem? (52:15–58:32):

  • Rumors fly that retired Rams legend Aaron Donald could join Miles Garrett, forming the NFL’s most intimidating defensive line.
    • Bomani (53:14): “If they put Aaron Donald next to him... I feel like you gotta let the other team have 12 people.”
    • Jason Goff (54:01): “What army you getting ready to fight, fam?... He’s still colder than 85% of defensive tackles.”

• NFL Defensive Philosophy: Pressure with Four (57:14–58:32):

  • Bo invokes John Shoop and Dan LeBatard: the single most valuable asset is getting pressure with four men. With Donald and Garrett, even three might be enough.

• Prediction & Roster Talk (58:32–61:22):

  • If both stars stay healthy, a “30 sack” season isn’t off the table.
  • Rams could mount another deep run if their core stays upright, despite unknowns at other positions.
    • Jason Goff (58:32): “If Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett are healthy... Not farfetched to think 30 sacks.”
    • Bomani (57:20): “There’s no more valuable ability in football than the ability to get pressure with four people.”

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On NFL Secrecy:
  Bomani Jones (10:48):
  “When I’ve not had an explanation until there was no other option, it’s because I was desperately hoping there would be another option. Because it was some shenanigans at play on one level or another.”

• On Chris Foerster’s Coaching Path:
  Jason Goff (21:37):
  “Chris Forster... shout out to the fellas out there who can't turn their horny down... I'm gonna send you a video in the office on the desk with the rolled up dollar bill. Cause I'm a real player... This ain’t caught. This is for the love of the game type vibes.”

• On Race, Scandal, and Second Chances:
  Bomani Jones (19:54):
  “Just how good is it to be white? My God, the fact that he could get any other job, any other job, let alone working his way up to the top.”

• On LeBron Fitting Into Philly:
  Bomani Jones (45:13):
  “You too big for Philadelphia. I gotta be in New York. And that doesn’t matter as long as you play well. But your old ass might just come out here and be old.”

• On Defensive Dominance:
  Bomani Jones (57:20):
  “There’s no more valuable ability in football than the ability to get pressure with four people... They might be able to get it with three, they might be able to get it with two.”

• Jerry Rice, Marketing Missteps, and Nostalgia:
  Jason Goff (60:23):
  “Not only did he bite the chicken, he had a drumstick on a face mask... He called it a taste mask. Telling you to go down to get some chicken with a taste mask—and it was Jerry Rice smiling in the taste mask. That shit hurt me as a kid, man.”

Signature Tone & Moments

• Both hosts riff freely, frequently referencing classic sports controversies, racial dynamics in sports, and the day-to-day absurdities of professional athletic and media worlds.

[Beaumont Jones]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Right Time a Wave Original. My name is Beaumont Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe like, rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only give us four stars, I'm inclined to believe you are a hater. It is that time of week where we have a guest join us coming to us live from Chicago, Illinois. And I got, I'm, I can admit. Me and my man went to the Sphere in Vegas and watched the wizard of Oz together. Jason Goff, what's going on?

[Jason Goff]

So excited. Both. So immediately this morning, I was like, I wonder if I will stay away from the wizard of Oz experience or let it build the way it did. Kid on a cab ride.

[Beaumont Jones]

Oh, my God. So the thing was, man, like, want to go check out the Spear? Okay. And so me and golfer riding sub talked about it. Yeah. We about to go to the, to the Thomas and Max center to watch. To watch summer league. And we, we passed by the Sphere and we talk about it. And it reminds me of, like, when I was in college and somebody was trying to break the seal about enjoying the Golden Girls. You just didn't necessarily want to go first, but then once you did, you realized the whole crew was down. And I was like, hey, man, you know, they, they show the wizard of Odds at the Sphere. I was thinking about going, me too. Boom. So we, we. Let me tell you this, man. They charge 100 something dollars for the goddamn wizard of Oz at the Spear. And, and that, and those was the, the not expensive tickets. I mean, not, not mean they were not as expensive.

[Jason Goff]

That is as expensive. Right. Relatively. Right. I, I, I re certain moments in a, A, a budding friendship where you realize, oh, this. This your man. Yeah. Because when you sent it to me, I was like, okay. And, you know, like, I wanted to see what was next. I know you got a lot of bread. You know, I'm sitting there like, all right, what we do next? And then we there. And you know me. I, well, you didn't know me, but I told you I'm not a big fan, like, roller coasters and shit like that. So immediately I'm like, ooh, if he, you know, if we out. And we just told the cabbie, and the cab was like, yeah, y' all should do it.

[Beaumont Jones]

Oh, my God. The cab driver was, like, so into it. She was like, yeah. So I'm like an edible and sit down. Oh, my God, it's so good. I forgot to send her a text and let her know how it went.

[Jason Goff]

So to me, the pressure was being put on from that moment. Cause I'm like, is it roller coaster vibes? Because I'm thinking the Sphere is going to be all around. It's surrounding us. It's Going to be like a wild ride. Next thing you know, boy, I went down to the hotel lobby, grab that. Driving me real quick. I was like, no, no, no. I'm not going to let Bo's 100 and something dollars go to waste. No, no, no, no. We out here. And then we sat down and it was the wizard of Oz. Steep viewing, you know what I'm saying? Had the old Comiskey park kind of, you know, 300 section. No, but it was okay. And the best part is seeing the people who did the research like you did. So shout out to you. I appreciate this.

[Beaumont Jones]

Hey, man. All good. So, yeah, we did that last time I saw. So we had a moment here. I hate it when we do the show before the show. We almost did the show before the show. Golf. Can't golf. Can't help himself. Golf. You bring something up. Golf. Ready to do the show. Oh, you.

[Jason Goff]

You.

[Beaumont Jones]

Are you. You the guy that, like, you get excited.

[Jason Goff]

I get excited, man.

[Beaumont Jones]

So it's like, yo, you gotta stop. You gotta stop. You gotta stop. You gotta top. Okay, so there's a wild NFL story right now that is actually wilder than I realized that it was. And I just want to get to the baseline level of wild. Off the top. We'll talk about LeBron and other stuff later, but this here, right here. Okay, so we got news. Was it Sunday that Kyle Shanahan had been in a terrible car accident? We talking broken ribs. We talking severe concussion. He's still recovering from the concussion. But the important detail, the accident we learned about on Sunday, it didn't happen on Saturday. It happened 11 days prior. And somehow we did not find out about this until the day that we found out. 11 days. One of the 10 most famous people in your region. Okay, Like a name that everybody knows. Where you at. One of the few unifying things around there, the San Francisco 49ers. The head coach doesn't get into a fender bender, right? He didn't even get caught for a dui. Maybe that. Oh, actually, no. I don't know how that slips through the cracks. He got fucked up in a car accident, right? Things where there must be public records and nobody reported this. The. The 49ers got to tell us about this. And what level of shenanigans are we talking about? Okay, because to me. And you tell me if I'm wrong. And look, you work in a city. City, right? Like, what I mean by that is you work in a city with not just a bunch of media, but a particular stripe of media. It's some go getters up where you at. Can you imagine the circumstance under which 11 days pass and Ben Johnson having broken bones and a severe concussion, doesn't get out?

[Jason Goff]

Not a chance. Not a chance. Because that means the hospital. You ain't got nobody at the hospital. You ain't got nobody on the police force. Or if you do, Kyle's been your man. Kyle's, you know, helped you out or John. I remember when Shout out to Boogie Lance Briggs got into a one car accident on the expressway late night in Chicago and left the ride. People knew about that joint an hour and a half later and an hour later. And that's, that's a, you know, a Pro bowl linebacker, I think, dude who's, you know, on the cusp. Hall of Famer. But that's my Bears bias. We knew about that immediately. This is like, we talk about John lynch, right? Because, you know, he's the. He's the guy, he's the architect. That's Kyle Shanahan's organization seemingly, and has been for a while. So for this to happen, it was there. There are two things that, that are so quiet that they're loud for it to happen and us, you know, know, to be in the relative sphere of news, no sphere, pun intended here sphere of news of bad accidents in the media. Like, immediately you think of the recent one that you heard of is Matt Miller losing an arm. So when I hear really bad car accidents, the antenna goes up and then you, oh, this wasn't 72 hours ago. This one, this one, 40. Like, who? If it's that quiet and that bad, then you come out and say, hey, man, roll over. Something happened. But if it's quiet and bad and something happened and nobody's still talking about it, like now you got dudes on the Internet, on social media, who are now fighting about covering up for certain people and making sure the relationships stay pure. You got like, you know, Florio and Glazer sending the shots to each other. Like, this is. It makes you wonder, after all the athletic and Diane Rossini stuff and Mike Vrabel, it makes you wonder, like, how close is too close? And is that happening on a different scale in the NFL than it is on any other level in any other sport?

[Beaumont Jones]

So here's why I'm inclined to believe that there are absolutely some measure of shenanigans at play. I don't know exactly what the shenanigans are, but here's why I believe that there are definitely shenanigans at play and that this is simply the beginning. Like, every now and then you come across a story. For example, when they said that Tiger woods was seriously injured in a car accident in his driveway, I was like, no, no, no. You can't build up enough speed to be seriously injured in a car accident in your driveway. We gonna find out something else. And then obviously we found out something else, right? Here's my thing with this. As severely injured as Shanahan was in this accident that happened on July 14th, we are recording this on July 27th. So who's to say by the time the streets get this, who's to say some other information don't come out?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Right?

[Beaumont Jones]

He had that concussion and he had all those broken bones. And in between the 14th and the 25th, they knew that he had a bunch of broken ribs, right? They knew that he was messed up as he was. Which is to say they knew that either, A, he was not going to show up to the press conference or the first day of training camp, or B, he was going to show up in that motherfucker looking like Wile E. Coyote or somebody, right? With the. With the neck brace on, with. With crutches, with the shit wrapped around his head. You know what I mean? Like, or I should have had. For all I know, he might be in traction. Like, we. You knew that it was going to be one of those things. I guess I'm saying all that to say you knew that by the time training camp came, you were going to have to explain what was going on, right? Yet and still you, instead of getting out in front of this early, hey, Kyle was in a car accident. It could have been worse. Thank God he's still here. And we'll have more information when we begin training camp, right? No, they didn't do that. They literally were like, we're not going to say a word until we have no other option. And I don't know about you, brother, but when I've not had an explanation until there was no other option, it's because I was desperately hoping there would be another option because it was some shenanigans at play on one level or another.

[Jason Goff]

You would hope that things the issue. And Yahoo did some of this reporting, too. They made the statement on Saturday. And then a minute later, the national NFL guy makes a statement and the report is out. And then another minute later, the local guy for that network makes a statement and then puts the report out. So what you're hoping here is one. You're hoping that Kyle is okay, you know, hoping that there weren't anybody wasn't anybody else involved in this situation, that's first. And then you get to, all right, why did this need to be covered up? And two, how much stuff doesn't get out because you got control over. And this is the conversation that we all knew was gonna have to be had about the NFL Network and the ESPN merger, right? Like this is it PR versus journalism. Are you, are you looking at, are you a PR arm or are you, hey, these are the stories that the people who consume this and invest in this product should know about, right? Speaking truth to power. That whole thing, if you got it like that and you could flex it that brazenly. Ten days is not, is. It's unconscionable in a non social media news environment. And that's what we grew up in, right? We grew up in the next day, you knew that, you know, somebody was gonna be talking about it or, you know, Bernie Lincergoom was gonna be writing a column about it or this person was gonna. Like, I knew, you know, I knew certain people were going to be all over these things. And as we have gotten further and further away from that and more access is involved with social media. People had like, nobody's got a screenshot, nobody's got a camera. Like, you know, the shit that you got to shut down to keep something like this quiet.

[Beaumont Jones]

Well, like, I think there's a, I think there's, there's the access question, right? Which by the way, is a level of shenanigans, right? Like that, like that, like the access question.

[Jason Goff]

Multi layered shenanigans.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that's a level of shenanigans. What Kyle Shanahan was or was not doing, potential level of shenanigans. Because there's, it's irresponsible for me to say the, the examples that I have that make me think more of what it might be when there is a car accident, but car accidents can mean many things is simply the point that I will make. Right? But I think there's also, this is perhaps a structural institutional question about journalism and just how many people are there to do the job? And I say that because in this way, yeah, there's the ESPN don't want to lose access, you know, or the NFL Network doesn't want to lose access. Or I would even go so far as to say an institution like the athletic, which only does the sports, right, doesn't want to lose access. Hey, man, this is a Metro desk story, right? Like this is the story for the people who every day go, look at those reports, Just hoping to see that maybe, just maybe, somebody famous got popped. Right? Yeah, like, that's the question. I can't believe nobody gave this to tmz. Just be worth some good money to them.

[Jason Goff]

And that's the thing either. Well, not either. Somebody's really good at their job. Put it like that. Somebody is really good at their job in the bay as a fixer. There you have it.

[Beaumont Jones]

Just to be clear, that job.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah. Somebody makes sure that. Hey, outlets, you know, if something comes across your desk, this is the bread that we got for you. And I'm not speaking of this situation right now, but I'm talking about, like, generally, we know about these things and we hear about these things where it's like, all right, you go. Like you said, you go to tmz. You go to this place. You go to this place. You go to the local paper. Hey, you know, I've been giving you news for years. Hey, if something comes across your desk concerning my guy or my girl or whoever this is, how much bread will be on the table for you when it comes back out? Oh, by the way, I gotta call the hospital, because if you got other. This ain't. This ain't old school godfather days where you got the doctor just pulling up to. Or you may just have the doctor pulling up to the crib. Like, that's the other. You talk about shenanigans. How far are you willing to go to make sure that this 10 days gets. Gets completed?

[Beaumont Jones]

You also gotta call 5O because 5O. 5O has to pull on the scene for this, and 5O has to do a report.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah, but when 5 volt pull up, you know, blast and bang, bang. Nanny gang.

[Beaumont Jones]

Well, yo, that's. Now that's the thing that I feel

[Jason Goff]

like, especially, you know, the police officers love football.

[Beaumont Jones]

Well, no, I was about to say, especially in these situations where the team is not in the city city, but is in one of the smaller ones. And I didn't check exactly like the municipality that Kyle got caught up in, but the city that might as well be a college town, Wherever they got the facility at, for the most part, that right there, that's a college town. You know, they can. You know. But here's the thing. As. As the University of Georgia will tell you, not all college towns are the same now, are they? Right. Some of them sent you to jail.

[Jason Goff]

I was astounded when I got down to Atlanta and found out that the university of Georgia in Athens and the football players and the speeding issues don't really go the way you would think it would go. If you watch these, these cliche ass movies or you go to any other SEC powerhouse, maybe, like, they get down there, it's like, hey, you were doing 51 and a 50, homeboy. Yeah, it's time for you. I don't care if you starting on Saturday, you know, bring your ass down.

[Beaumont Jones]

It was like when Jameis got caught up at Florida State. And the obvious conclusion that many drew was that, you know, the local hometown police was coming through for the football program. Let me tell you who didn't feel that way. Football players, they're like, what are you talking about? They be trying to deal with these people in jail all the time now. Who knows, right? But I'm just saying, like, not every place is just like, cool, I got you. We'll just let this slide. I don't know what's going on there, but I tell you what I didn't know is going on there. The interim coach for the 49ers while we wait for Kyle Shanahan is. And. And this is where Goff almost did the show before the show. And I had to make him stop because I didn't want to ruin his energy because I didn't understand what he was talking about. And then I figured out what he was talking about. And then I was like, no, we got to stop. The interim coach is a man named Chris Forester. And golf starts explaining that the interim coach is the coach who got caught with some cocaine. And I have no idea what golf, I say, but golf say something. It's correct, right? Like, golf is a dude that, that he has his information lined up. So he said it's some coast that got caught up with cocaine. And I'm like, dude, I don't know anything about what you're talking about. And I'm like, but wait a minute. The only story I can think of involving a coach getting caught up with cocaine was that white man who was the offensive line coach in Miami. And wasn't he dealing with, like, some thicked out black girl, right? And I can't remember if she was a stripper or like a pro, but it was. She had a very Miami job. I just, I just put it there. And community services. Yeah, yeah, he got caught, like, didn't get caught snorting, blowing the drive through line or something. And then they found out that he was like, in the office, had her on like, FaceTime and was snorting blow, talking about, I wish you was here. And it's this guy. And look, I understand that. That happened nine years ago. But he's worked his way back to being a head coach in the NFL. Even if he's only a head coach for a couple of days, though, as I saw somebody put on Twitter, was interesting about concussions. NFL, by the way, the only place where people come back for a concussion after like two, three days. But they said 10% of people suffer severe concussions and they fine in a week. And then there's 10% who suffer severe concussions and they're not fine in a year. Right. We don't know where in this continuum Kyle Shanahan is going to go, but as long as Kyle Shanahan is out, this man who is most famous for all the things I just told you is an NFL head coach and golf. Can't answer my question, but. But maybe some of the rest of you can. And maybe you need to call with some voicemails. They going to infuriate us, but we need to hear it. Just how good is it to be white? My God, the fact that he could get any other job, any other job, let alone working his way up to the top. He only had to sit out for one year. He been with the 49ers since 2019.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah. Clean your name up. And I want to go back to something you mentioned. And I'm going to take Umbridge with it, though. You said caught. To be caught, someone has to say you did something and then present you with the evidence. Chris Forster. And listen, man, shout out to the fellas out there who can't turn their horny down. Chris Forster sent a video. Not just the FaceTime, hey, baby, let's do this, you know, lying together. Let's get, you know, let's take it back to the 80s and 70s. No, no, no. I'm gonna send you a video in the office on the desk with the rolled up dollar bill. Cause I'm a real player, you know what I mean? Like, this ain't. This ain't no new money here. Rolled up dollar bill snorted the line and then told her, I wish I was doing this off of you. I wish you were here. Like, we talking about a man who is true to the game and romantic. Okay? This ain't caught. You know what I'm saying? This is for the love of the game type vibes right here. You know what I mean? Ways you can get caught either doing something outside of a relationship you're supposed to or just doing something illegal. For he went the pooh shiesty Gucci mane route of bringing cameras to the crime. And not only does he get to lay low, do his thing. I'm sure he's an exceptional unit coach, a position coach, wherever he at. I'm not even sure that. I'm just sure he got peoples, right. Kyle Shanahan, you know, you rock and roll. Amen. San Francisco was the scene of the crime. I was in Miami last time. That's the other thing. I think this was a San Francisco domestic product that he was going after in that video. So you come back to the spot, you know, your family like, hey, no,

[Beaumont Jones]

he was in Miami when that happened.

[Jason Goff]

I noticed. But it was. The thing was in San Francisco, like, what he wanted was in San Francisco, right? Yes, yes, right. So that's. That's what I'm saying. Your family. Hey, Big C, back on this. You know what it is? When Pookie come to the family union, you got a job. Hey, man, you got a job. You're doing well, right? Like, Big C. Hey, Big C, doing well. He put that. He put that boogie sugar behind him. You know what I mean? Don't worry about the big booty broads in the Bay. We ain't got to worry about, all right? He got. Got a job in the Bay, everything would be cool. Now, all of a sudden, you talk about pressure, talking about a man who ain't showing that he could really, you know, engage with pressure the right way. Your coach break three ribs, his nose, his hand in an accident that nobody want to talk about. All of a sudden, I got to be the head coach of a squad whose window is. Is. Is. Is. Is. Is closing by the day, man. Chris. Hey, Big C. You know, if. Don't nobody love you, we love you because it's going to be. It's going to be a ride. Because that's the other thing he has to hear. Like, certain things you think are buried. He has to hear about this now for the next, what, few weeks of training?

[Beaumont Jones]

I don't know, man. It sounds like only me and you figured it out. And I just pulled up an article, and it's not the headline, but it's the. In the URL. Coach snorting Assistant coach Chris Forester gets job with 49ers. And. And. And hold on. I want to make sure people understand that. I believe that, like, you know, you got to have a path back for people. And Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanahan said in 2020, when they gave him this job, he started off, Kyle looked out for him because he used to be this. The line coach for the. For the Washington, when Kyle was there and he said, we're trying to ease him back in. I understand how big a problem he did have. I. I also understand what he's doing and committing to fix that problem. We're trying to give him a chance to get back on track. He did something extremely stupid. And since then he has hit rock bottom. He went to rehab for 60 days and then he was in a 90 patient out a day outpatient rehab. And for the last two years he's been in a 12 step program. And look, Kyle, Kyle done come through for the brothers too. You know what I mean? So like, we gotta, you know, we gotta get.

[Jason Goff]

Oh, he's doing it. And listen, it's respect. It's just if I'm him, like, hey, Kyle, why would you throw me in. In the ringer like this?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

Like now, now all of a sudden it's like, all right, you know, hey, we all. Hey, you, you, you know, somebody who gets past something or just dealing, you know, addiction is a daily battle for people. Right. Putting the screws to me now though.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. I'm just, look, I'm just. He, he. He came all the way be over

[Jason Goff]

here teaching a bucket step.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah. By the way, apparently he wasn't the one that got caught snorting at the. In the drive thru line. That was somebody else, I think.

[Jason Goff]

No, no, he's the desk dude.

[Beaumont Jones]

I thought he was the. I thought he was the desk dude and the drive in dude. I forget who the driving dude was. My bad. I don't mean you got to get your court snorters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got him, I got him. I got, I got them mixed up. Also, he was sending that video to a woman named Kiwana Tijuana with a K. Listen, listen.

[Beaumont Jones]

Hey, man, look, that man know how to talk across.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah, we know the vibes. Come on, man.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, he need to.

[Jason Goff]

He out here listening to Rick James fire and Desire doing.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, I want to know, did he get down like that before we got to Miami? Because I done seen cats in Miami turn into the. You see some. You see some interesting white men with some interesting sisters just randomly at the Icebox Cafe on the beach?

[Beaumont Jones]

Yes, yo, but no, this, I mean, this is a lot for the 49ers and this is. We got. I just. There's more. That's, that's just what seems clear to me is that there's more. And we know that even a little bit of the more is they put coach, Coach Kane in charge of the shop until Kyle Shanahan comes back. When he comes back. If he comes. I'm just telling you, I don't, I don't think it's just going to be Kyle. Shane Hamilton in a car accident. This, this, this smell like something else.

You know you and I have sent our text around. You send me the text of Lebron who appears to have gone to the bald head Lebron with the bald head and the Philadelphia beard, right? Like he all the way, you know, leaning in on the I tell you Jaylen Brown now Jaylen Brown. I saw somebody who said something about how the, the, the, the Beijing supply in Philadelphia gonna go through the roof with Lebron. But I think they both gonna have to come home because for Jaylen Brown this is like this has been destined for him. He gotta go ahead and just come home and you know, and get himself a freeway. And LeBron if he do the same, you know what I'm saying? That go a long way toward ingratiating yourself to the locals.

[Jason Goff]

He know what's up. He should have been, came home. I'm talking about LeBron. You know, Jalen. Jalen is still in that. I'm young enough to let this rock because I'm paid and you gonna love me no matter what. Like it. You know, we've all got. I had a friend who was like, hey, man, you know, I, I was. I was looking down from up top and I saw you down there and I'm like, you know what? You're right. You're right. Right. But when you got a quarter of a billion, you know, you could. You could move a little bit different. Nobody's.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Beaumont Jones]

And you're six, nine, up top.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Beaumont Jones]

I was about to say nobody with it.

[Jason Goff]

Well, Kevin don't care.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, but he's also 7ft tall. Like, we don't siege. Every now and then you get a picture and you're like, oh, man, it's a problem.

[Jason Goff]

It's happening.

[Beaumont Jones]

But you don't really. But you don't see it on a day to day basis with LeBron. We saw his problem on a day to day basis because it was. He was. It. They was. He was getting bull rushed. It was coming like. Like, I think they were sending them dudes off the corners, but it was not a. It was he. He was not getting zone dog. Yeah. He may have been getting hit at all from all flanks, but you are right, it was a zone dog. That was exactly what it was.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah, yeah. And free blitzer is on your eyes, right?

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yes.

[Jason Goff]

You know what I'm saying? Like, your eyes gotta block somebody. And the fact that you keep doing this shit up top the do rag troll for a very long time, it's like, hey, you got bad eyes. You know what I'm saying? You got bad eyes nobody really wants. Now you go to Philly where the AK wars, the. The. The little versus Big Ock. I just, I'm. I'm interested in seeing how LeBron, with Austin and Luca there was. Yeah, I'm riding. Oh, you need me. All right, cool. Playoff series this time. This is different. This is. This is three dudes who you have competed against. I mean, I know Tyrese is early in the game, but Tyrese is somebody now, right? And Jaylen Brown, you've gone up against him and in battles, joy and bead, same thing. And on top of that, you played in the Olympics with Joel Embiid. Like, I'm. I'm interested to see how LeBron lets things happen. Like when there's a slide or when there's panic. Does LeBron make it about him? Does LeBron shift it to hey man, you know, young guys been through this before because let's face it, for the last two, three months we've watched LeBron golf and hang out with his boys. So if this is the vacation tour, then cool. But then you come back on top of this, hey, by the way, I'm doing this strictly for championship run and to, to you know, still give something back. I love grinding. Like I'm wondering this is now two franchises ago that he was the most important thing happening because let's face it, during the bubble thing when Anthony Davis was acquired, like he, he played with Lonzo and he's like, this can't happen no more. Covid hit us, right? And then you get the, the bubble ring that is discounted by a lot of people like this. It's been a, it's been a long time since LeBron and, and we, we get the, you know, oh look, LeBron might be turning it up or look at this week that he's had or look at this series where he's playing all these minutes. But it's been A While since LeBron has been the, it's, it's, it's not only my franchise, but there are championship level outside of it's a Tuesday in, in February kind of conversations, right? Like I don't know that these dudes think they can win a championship. And depending on which leader slash player LeBron they get like Jaylen Brown ain't going there to be nobody's backup, right? He ain't a pip, you know Jon Embiid when I don't give a what you say. Watch those 76ers games from last year where Joel felt okay. Hey, tyres max again. 28 again. Hey young fella. Hey. Go right down left hand. Throw it up there. I, I still these mitts still soft. These knees might be putting and these feet might be strangling, but he's, he still think he can go get 31, 32. So I'm, you know, the whole one ball thing, cool. But a lot's going to depend on where LeBron sees himself night to night. And last these last couple of years with Austin and Luca is a totally different vibe. You see what the Lakers going for now then being here in Philadelphia where there is not a light skinned man in sight. They signed Kentavious, Caldwell Pope. They are out here, bro.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, they, yeah, they already got Jeremy Kade out of there. You're right, they out here. They out here. They out here looking like the Washington football team on Tecmo bowl

[Jason Goff]

like, damn. Dexter Manley cold.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, like damn. Like, they, they, they. They look like they. They look like they had the red jersey. They had them dudes. They look like the Road warriors, you know, they look like the lod.

[Jason Goff]

It's like me thinking Georgetown was a black school until I was like 13 years old.

[Beaumont Jones]

Like, if you're an 8 year old

[Jason Goff]

Philadelphia 76ers fan right now, you're like, so. Okay, okay. We a French team. Bet. All right, let's roll.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Y' all out here looking like mo better blues out here. You know what I'm saying? Like, we completely changed the paradigm. So I think it's much more an a LeBron fitting in question on the floor. I never worry about that. It's Embiid where you hit there. Because I don't know if there's any way to play with Embiid other than a world where embiid is the center of everything. Because the criticism that I think there's always been to have of Embiid as a basketball player, no matter how good he was and this became a thing in the playoffs, is he doesn't get the ball and do nothing quick, right? It's get it. Maybe hit the dribble a couple of times, maybe do a couple of jab steps, whatever it is. Like, he's one of the greatest players ever, but with the kind of lineup, they gonna try it out there, that ball gotta move. Like, to have five guys of that level of skill, you kind of gotta make it somewhat democratic about the way that it goes. And Joel is not a democratic basketball player, right? He the king. This is how it's been. He never forget. He made himself the process. The process was not him. He decided I'm the process. He hyped, by the way. I wouldn't have wanted my name on that shit personally, but he. This. It all revolves around him. That. That is my question, basketball wise. And really, what happens if he only plays 30 or 40 games again, but he gets in there at the end and it's like, yo, we got Joel. Here we go. When you maybe are better off being like, nah, homie, why don't you just. Because all you're doing is just buying time till he get hurt, right? You need it. You need it. You need him. He and Porzingis are similar, right, in this regard, in terms of health. But when they won that championship of Por Zingis, they just brought him in at the end, right? Like you, you maybe. Maybe that's the way that you do it, because you're gonna have him a little bit. And ain't no way Joel Emb playing two months of playoff basketball without suffering an injury that's gonna derail them. I don't know how much LeBron's gonna be able to. To do all this without suffering an injury that is going.

[Jason Goff]

It's a baseball lineup. This is a baseball lineup. Like, where you gotta get. You all right, we can ride this dude for a week. All right, now, you know, six through nine. Hey, bottom of the lineup, we need y' all to do some shit. You know, them big boys up top, tired, tired. Setting the table for y' all bum asses. I need. I need the bench. Now that. That is, you know, gonna be making $7.22cent. I need the bench to carry us forward or, you know, can a bench steal a game in the playoff series? Like, these are the questions early. I think. I think the first. The first team that we saw of the Miami Heat, where they had all those dudes and Joel Anthony was expected to be something other than Joel Anthony. With this new NBA, you are expecting and need these other cats to be something else. Because, like you mentioned, if you get 45 games out of Joel Embiid, that's a plus. Right? You got Tyrese Maxey gonna be going, you know, 100 miles an hour every single game because he's young and he's, you know, he's energetic and athletic and all. And then you got Jaylen Brown. Like, we.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

We.

[Jason Goff]

You know, sometimes the comments and sometimes things that people say about him and. And have conversations around him. Jaylen Brown. If I'm not. How old is Jalen Brown? John Brown? 28.

[Beaumont Jones]

Right. Jaylen Brown should now be 29 or 30.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah, he's not. This ain't no 24 year old. So he's. And he's a champion, right? So this is going to have to be a baseball lineup kind of vibe where it's like, all right, this week and a half, LeBron's feeling good. We going ride him. All right, Jalen, you could do it any night you want to do it, but don't you like this kind of help? Don't you want to get to. Because let's face it, Jaylen Brown wants to face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals and be fresh enough to show that he's better than Jayson Tatum and he's better than Peyton Pritchard and Derrick White, whoever y' all thought could replace him, right?

[Beaumont Jones]

Yes.

[Jason Goff]

So it's up to. And this is the Crazy part about having all these guys on one team usually you know where the narrow, the, the, the, the, the arrows are coming from. Nick Nurse. Nick. It's a lot of quills out there, boy.

[Beaumont Jones]

Buddy. This is a job for a great coach and I think Nick Nurse is a good one. And I'll give you an example of this. I think Stan Van Gundy was a very good coach.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah.

[Beaumont Jones]

It was time for a great coach to bring that particular team in 06 across the finish line. That collection of players required a great coach. That happens from time to time. I want to hit something a little non basketball and I want to be very clear. I'm not saying this is the biggest deal in the world. Right. Man. Won't save me from the aggregators necessarily. But they saying that LeBron looking at like living in New York and commuting to Philadelphia, taking a helicopter. Now, first golf. I'm going to send you my thought on that. It's a little crass, so I can only send it to you on the text message. Cause I kind of appreciate you.

[Jason Goff]

I appreciate you.

[Beaumont Jones]

You see it? Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

This is the first thing that I thought. Yeah, yeah.

[Beaumont Jones]

But I don't know if you thought about it like I thought about it.

[Jason Goff]

No. Yeah. Yeah.

[Beaumont Jones]

Oh.

[Jason Goff]

Oh, yeah. You know, I got you.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

I mean, it's going a little, going a little far, but dog, it's. How can I put this? So when Nipsey passed away, the game did quite a nipsey impression. And people had to be like, hey, we don't listen to you for that. And he had to get back in his, in his, you know, in his bag. Like, you don't have to, you don't have to do these things.

[Beaumont Jones]

Well, Well, I think this is, this is my thought on it. Right?

[Jason Goff]

Like, does LeBron not know how cool or how awesome? Let me ask you this. Do you think LeBron realizes what, whatever you might believe, the majority believes about his career? You know, I think, I think I suffer from a lot of the things that I sometimes think he goes through where it's like you always trying to make sure it's understood who you are and what you've done, even though you don't want to say it. I think he goes as far as pushing the envelope to make it be like, hey man, we know how cool you shit. Hey, if you are in the argument conversation for the top two or three players in the game of all time is you, you. You're amazing. Right? Like, there's certain dudes who move like they're not aware of how people feel about them. And I think in this social media time, LeBron's always aware of what people don't like about him, apparently. And there's always these, like, the living in New York part. To me, just from a, a family and business standpoint, you know, there's not a lot of retired dope dealers out there. Like, you're always one move away, right? Like, you living in New York probably poses more business opportunities, but it poses more liability as well than just living in Philadelphia or living wherever the players live. And I don't know if the 76ers as a group, you know, commute, do the 45 minute thing, but like taking a helicopter to practice and all this other, like, I understand you want to be quick, you want to be efficient, but it's just, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what LeBron has left to, to really prove to himself, even though it feels like he's still trying

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

to do some of that.

[Beaumont Jones]

So this is my read on that. And like, for example, I know JJ Redick, when he played with the Sixers, he had a place in Brooklyn and he made the commute in one way or another. And here's the thing, man, that's JJ Redick, right? I think for LeBron, and apparently these aren't things that he finds to be important, and I can't make it important to him. I think that he would ingratiate himself so much to that market just by getting a spot in Philadelphia and being there, right? Like, look, this ain't the old days where Willie Mays live in a brownstone on 100 and whatever, and he, he live in the neighborhood and the kids outside playing stickball. And then Willie Mays come out here and play a little bit with y', all, right? Like, no, I get it. That part is never going to happen. And if LeBron was in Philadelphia, he probably wouldn't be nowhere that's, like, accessible. But I do know a little bit about that town. And you kind of just big timed him, right? Like, you too big for Philadelphia. I gotta be in New York. And that doesn't matter as long as you play well. But your old ass might just come out here and be old, in which case, I don't know. I think that kind of sort of, no matter how this goes or no matter how this spins, he would be better off just doing those people a solid. And they'd be like, man, you remember that year LeBron was here, you know, like, he used to hang out with us here. Like, you remember that. That would be dope.

[Jason Goff]

People don't make a. Like, people made a big deal about the Blaze pizza thing. Like, the way you. The way you introduce yourself to a fan base is so important. And the people that didn't get inside the pizza place and then didn't show up or whatever the. Whatever the hubbub was with that entire situation started a relationship that didn't have to be started on a bad note. On a. Not a bad note, but an unfortunate note.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

With this, like you mentioned, you ain't gonna be jogging up to the Liberty Bell and doing the Rocky and all that, but.

[Beaumont Jones]

Oh, boy, I bet you they cutting that video as we speak, though.

[Jason Goff]

You think Nike on it?

[Beaumont Jones]

Let me tell you something. That have been the first thing. That's how y' all would have found out. Y' all would have found out, except LeBron, like, Nah, man, I'm playing golf today. But no, that's. That's how y' all would have found out that I was even doing this. It'd be, you know, it had been with. With the old music or something. All right. It just been like, look, man, you know what I came here to do. Rising up to the challenge of our rivals. There it is, the thrill of the fight.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah. Meek Mill in the background. Or Meek Mill, like, jogging with him while he performing. Dreams and nightmares like, yes. Philadelphia Freeway getting ready to do what we do in the background.

[Beaumont Jones]

Like, that's the.

[Jason Goff]

That's the Philly national anthem.

[Beaumont Jones]

J. Wright somewhere on the route.

[Beaumont Jones]

Nike, AI and Doc, meet him at the top. Ooh.

[Jason Goff]

And then. And then Joe Frazier at the end.

[Beaumont Jones]

Well, well, well, well, well, that's AI. That would require AI. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, yeah. I was just like, oh, God, I

[Jason Goff]

can't break it to you.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

I don't.

[Beaumont Jones]

I don't like. I hope. I hope you're not a big fan

[Jason Goff]

because this is gonna.

[Beaumont Jones]

This is.

[Jason Goff]

I got some battle. I'mma fuck up your day.

[Beaumont Jones]

This is gonna Ruin your day. This is going to ruin your day. I know.

[Jason Goff]

Joe Frasier. God bless Joe Frazier and his family. I know they're not alive. I know he's not alive. I'm talking about at the years.

[Beaumont Jones]

We're good now. We're good now. I didn't, you have to admit that in that moment, I was, I had not been. I didn't have enough information.

[Jason Goff]

All right, my man. My man. All right, bro. LeBron. Hang out. Hang out with them kids in the front yard. Shoot some hoops, man.

[Beaumont Jones]

That's right.

[Jason Goff]

Do something for the city, baby.

[Beaumont Jones]

That's right. That's right, that's right. That's right. Show up at the mosque. You know what I'm saying? Kyrie will come with you. In fact, how jealous is Kyrie? Like, damn, you get to play in Philly?

[Jason Goff]

Or, you know, is Kyrie on the phone, like, you know, hey, you got a couple of dudes who ain't really about, you know, that life.

[Beaumont Jones]

Honestly. Let me, let me tell you this. If Kyrie played for Philly, he would at once talk himself into being all time Philly legend while completely talking himself out of playing in the NBA.

[Jason Goff]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But then by that time, he would have, you know, transitioned. Like, don't you miss a time where NBA. This is gonna sound crazy, and I apologize to nobody. Don't you miss a time when NBA players were a little less rich where you kind of like had to see them after their playing career? Like these cats who have, like some of these real personalities and like, oh, shit, that's what you believe. They get to just sail off into the sunset with a quarter million.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yes, they do.

[Jason Goff]

What if Kyrie Irving had to be like, all right, so. Or like the post game show for the Dallas Mavericks for the next 10 years and you just finding shit out like, oh, that Amazon tweet was a lot. It's a lot more there.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah. Like, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. That's over. Like, I was thinking about this. The player that is like the color, the color band for local television. Like, Keith Hernandez does that for the Mets. It ain't gonna be no Keith Hernandez type of dude doing color. You know what I mean?

[Jason Goff]

Them cats are done.

[Beaumont Jones]

Keith or Dan Dance would have like $500 million.

[Jason Goff]

What? What you talking about? Like, all time met. You don't have to do anything else in this city. Pay for everything. And on top of it, my numbers. Right? Yeah. Now, cat, like, you think about the dudes who are going to be in that Position. Years from now, it's gonna be cats who were at the end of the beginning bench, who we don't really recognize because one, they been studying the game and probably made some real, you know, acquaintances in the industry. Nah, man, these cats like Kyrie Irving in Philadelphia on his swan song, and then being the face of, like, Philadelphia sports, like back in the day when you had some NFL offensive lineman be your. Your Channel seven at night sports news, dude. Like, that ain't happening no more. And it damn sure ain't gonna happen in the future. Cause, you know, the bread is up. And God bless it.

[Beaumont Jones]

God bless these brothers. Hey, last thing before we go, man. People done talked this up.

[Jason Goff]

What's happening?

[Beaumont Jones]

It just feels like Aaron Donald looked up and saw that the Rams had Miles Garrett and was like, oh, this will be comically easy. Compton and Long beach together now. You know you in trouble. So Aaron Donald, who never. We never saw fall off, Right. Aaron Donald, one of the few people in the history of this league with a claim to being the best player ever at his position. Right. A claim for being the best defensive player of his era. In fact, I think that one might be, like, incontrovertible for the time he came into the league. Miles Garrett, probably the best defensive player in the league right now. If they put Aaron Donald next to him, it doesn't even. Man, I feel like you gotta let the other team have 12 people,

[Jason Goff]

get an extra tight end, widen out that line, make Miles have to go around three people instead of two. Yo, to me, the greatest part about this is. Well, the best part for the Rams is that he's still great. Because I gotta be honest with you, if Aaron Donald say there was a little bit of a tail off like you expect after a decade of dominance, who gonna tell him he can't? Aaron Donald has been working out, like, real workouts, too. Yes. And just happened to have a phone around him. And you're like, that's crazy. Why the. The James Harrison workouts where I'm like, who.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Who?

[Jason Goff]

What army you getting ready to fight, fam? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't need.

[Beaumont Jones]

I would.

[Jason Goff]

I'm whispering this now because I don't want him to hear it.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Right.

[Jason Goff]

Aaron Donald is doing this damn near across the street from your facility. His crib is still his crib in la. He just pulled back up to the office like it's the cat who pulled. I used to do this every once in a while at the place I used to work at, the radio where he'd be like, hey, what's happening? Hey, y' all want to talk today? Cause I ain't got shit to do. I just dropped the babies off. I got a segment in me. I'm make y' all better, and walk in. This dude did that with an NFL franchise. Like, hey, by the way, I'm thinking about coming back, and what's Sean McVeigh gonna do? So. Yeah, come on through. You can't tell Aaron Donald no. And. And he probably still colder than 85% of the defensive tackles or defensive ends in the game. After a year. It's been a year or two. It's been two years.

[Beaumont Jones]

I think it's been two years. So he's healthier than he's been before. But you right, he's still out there working out. They probably got a sled in his backyard, right? Like, he kind of like. He kind of like people.

[Jason Goff]

He ripped people to push around.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, he. He kind of like Jerry Rice, where Jerry Rice's body obviously couldn't hold up, right? But Jerry Rice, if you called him in to go do the conditioning work for your team, he could do it. Cause you know what Jerry Rice did this morning? I know exactly what Jerry Rice did this morning. You know what Jerry Rice did this morning.

[Jason Goff]

You want me to say you gonna say it?

[Beaumont Jones]

You go ahead and say it.

[Jason Goff]

He ran that goddamn hill.

[Beaumont Jones]

He ran that hill. Jay Rice on that hill, right? Now, when they showed that they had Jerry Rice in that commercial with the old men, the only thing Jerry Rice did to betray that he was old was like, shake his hand, I think, after he caught the ball or something like that. But Jerry Rice is like, brother, I'm not old. You remember Jerry Rice had the. The cul de sac and the braids, right? With Jerry Wright, like, Jerry R. Nobody has.

[Jason Goff]

Was that the Raiders run? Was that the Raiders or the Bron run? Okay?

[Beaumont Jones]

Nobody's ever been more. More opposed to being old than Jerry Rice. Boy, Aaron Donald is like that. But Aaron Donald ain't even that old yet, right? And Aaron Donald's game is also powered by fury, right? Just like. Just rel. He's a rich man's John Randall, right? Like, it's that archetype of player, that Tasmanian Devil type of situation, right? Like, the only reason he got drafted where he did in the draft is he just didn't have the measurables. And you just had to be like, is he so intense that they don't matter? And the answer turned out to be, yeah, yeah. Like, he's in A draft with Clowney. And I don't care what people say, Clowney was good. Clowney did not turn out to be what we thought he was, but Clowney was good. Khalil Mack was in that draft. Khalil Mack was a. Is a Hall of Famer, a beast,

[Jason Goff]

All Pro, All Pro at two different positions in the same season, and is

[Beaumont Jones]

a clear step below Aaron.

[Jason Goff]

That's crazy.

[Beaumont Jones]

Back is still playing, which is to say, yep, Aaron Donald's gonna come out here and be next to Miles Garrett. I don't even know who else plays for them anymore. Let me go get a look at that. Cause you know what? I don't think that shit matters.

[Jason Goff]

Nah, they gonna put pressure on the quarterback. All they gotta do really is keep your boy, you know, Aaron, Matt Stafford upright.

[Beaumont Jones]

And that's the thing. Cause he's old. Like, we. We can. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Before we get to Stafford, I just want to throw this point out here.

[Jason Goff]

We didn't have to, by the way.

[Beaumont Jones]

I've barely heard of a significant number of guys on this Rams defense just throwing it.

[Jason Goff]

No, yeah, no, it's. It's. It's a lot of really young players who. Who they counting on?

[Beaumont Jones]

All right. They got Trey McDuffie back there. I forgot they made that trade. They got Trent McDuffie. All I'm saying is this. When I work with Dan LeBatard, he made a point once that stuck with me, and it's the truest thing I remember hearing John Shoop, former offensive coordinator in North Carolina and a bunch of pro teams and in colleges, made the same point where he was like, well, Shoop made it a different way. Shoop was like, the most aggressive defenses are the ones that rush four, drop seven, and just go get people, right? Those great Miami and Florida State defenses of the past, rushing four, dropping seven, and. But Dan's point was there's no more valuable ability in football than the ability to get pressure with four people. They might be able to get it with three, they might be able to get it with two. Like, remember when the. When the Eagles destroyed the Chiefs in that super bowl, it looked like they were sending 10 people. They were only sending four every single time. If the Rams can go a whole season rushing four and dropping seven, yeah, you go.

[Jason Goff]

You're going to learn dudes names. You know, Cam Curl, like you mentioned, is another really good player in that back end they have. I'll say this. If Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett are healthy for any period of time together, like, let's Say they both play 14 games together. It's not far fetched to think 30 sacks. Yeah, and not just sacks, but like, you know, Aaron Donald gets to the ball, Miles Garrett gets to the ball. Like these are the dudes who like, no, we want to disrupt everything and cause havoc. I just think, you know, when it comes down to it, that Rams team, as long as the quarterback is upright, as long as the wide receivers, you know, stay off the streams and stay healthy, that, that's another, that's another championship type run that they should be on because their five or six most important players are top of the NFL type of position dudes. And then you got Sean McVay who, you know, for whatever reason we don't talk about like we used to, but I think he's done some fantastic, some of his best coaching jobs over these last couple of years. I gotta get back to it though, because I'm gonna be mad at myself if I don't. You mentioned Jerry Rice and the Aaron Donald Compton always being ready and always running that damn hill. It's a damn shame that, that every time Jerry Rice is mentioned now, not only do I think of the 20 touchdown season was in like 12 games, some stupid shit like that, and him being the.

[Beaumont Jones]

And you know, and you know why he did that? Cause it was a strike season. And while all them cats was out here acting like there wasn't gonna be no football, what was Jerry Rice doing

[Jason Goff]

running that goddamn hill?

[Beaumont Jones]

There you go.

[Jason Goff]

But the problem is I also think of one of the most notorious moments in marketing history when it comes to Jerry Rice. And it's something that I hope Aaron Donald never.

[Beaumont Jones]

Oh, it's. What is the chicken?

[Jason Goff]

It's the taste mask.

[Beaumont Jones]

Yeah, I forgot about the chicken. Yeah, that was, that was a terrible look.

[Jason Goff]

That's one of those things where it's like, I'm. I'm Jerry Rice, man.

[Beaumont Jones]

You should. Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

You know what I'm saying? Like, we know, we like the newsletter that go out on, you know, every month with us is like, hey, if you're in a commercial, don't bite the chicken. You know what I mean? He not only bit the chicken, he had a drumstick on a face mask.

[Beaumont Jones]

He did.

[Jason Goff]

He called it a taste mask. Telling you go down to get some chicken with a taste mask. And it was Jerry Rice smiling in the taste mask. That shit hurt me as a kid, man.

[Beaumont Jones]

It wasn't even as a kid brother, that was as a grown man.

[Jason Goff]

That was child me. The Tecmo bowl. Me.

[Beaumont Jones]

Oh, got you. So it Was a retroactive situation.

[Jason Goff]

Yeah. The one who knew what Keena Turner was doing on the other side of the ball for them. I understand. I understand. It's tough guy, man in the taste mask, dog.

[Beaumont Jones]

He threw himself in the taste mask. That's the worst part. Like.

[Jason Goff]

No, no, no. Chris Forster threw himself in something now.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Jason Goff]

Now that this was placed upon him. You know what I'm saying? Come on.

[Beaumont Jones]

Chris Forster, man. Good. Good for him. Good for him. That's a. They gonna have a. They gonna have Tom Ronaldi talk about Chris Forester with the pianos in the back and like

[Jason Goff]

the saxophones.

[Beaumont Jones]

They gonna blame. They gonna blame everything on Kiwana.

[Jason Goff]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Beaumont Jones]

Everything. That's. That's the thing. What Kyle said. He made mistakes and he went to rehab. Was it to get off that? To get off to black or get off to white? What you think he need to get himself off of Kyle? What you think he was trying to fix?

[Jason Goff]

I'm gonna tell you something right now. It's one that he ain't gonna never get himself off of. Even if he get himself off of it.

[Beaumont Jones]

Jason Goff, my man.

[Jason Goff]

You.

[Beaumont Jones]
