Last year absolutely. I definitely do. Theres definitely decisions and things to be made that would be better for our team. Just finishing the season strong, might be possibly messing up anybodys situations but just getting it done this weekend and finishing the season strong. Reporter expectations. Nearly lost in the wreckage of the raiders last sunday night versus dallas when carr coughed up the game, Marshawn Lynch started yelling at the official which you see here. Didnt make any sensing. The play was going to be reviewed. So theres no sense in arguing. They would have been penalized. Lynch is fined 24, 309. Unsportsmanlike conduct, no suspension and Marshawn Lynch will be in the lineup of course in philadelphia. Meantime for the 49ers i think youre going to get your first look at true adversity in the Jimmy Garoppolo era. They are not going to be playing any pushovers. Tennessee is a good team last week. But the jaguars are one of the best. In fact, their defense many think is the best particularly in the afc. They are 4point underdog the 49ers at levi. You always wonder, what is going through a quarterbacks mind when he steps out of the huddle and up to the line of scrimmage, particularly against such a ferocious defense . And jimmy g was asked just that at a press conference yesterday. My family asked me this all the time, what are you thinking about . And i mean, youre literally looking at 11 guys and your ten guys and its kind of like a chess game that happens in six seconds, i guess. Are you a chess guy . You play chess . I know how to play. I wouldnt say its one of my hobbies. He is an easygoing personality. I think he fits in well obviously. Like i say, thats going to be a real test. I think you can safely say the electric vibe that comes when steph currys there and draymond green, that is missing for the warriors right now. And its going to be a while before stephs back in there. But you know what . How about ten straight victories replacing the electric vibe . They get it done. Other people contributing. Like Patrick Mccaw last night taking iggys role off the bench. First guy off the bench and he had the highlight in the win over memphis last night. Take a look at it again as he gets up on the offensive board. Second year player with a spectacular follow dunk. But as is his way, always very low key. I didnt really even know i could do that. So my reaction is i was kind of surprised in my head. I didnt know i could jump that high. But the reaction was way better than a dung for sure. [ laughter ] for sure. What do you mean, you didnt think could you do that . Youve done it before, have been you . Nah. First time ever . Yeah, that was my first time ever. A very low key guy. You know . Thats part of what makes them so good. Sorry. I cant make it. Its just my eczema again, but its fine. Yeah, its fine. You ok . Eczema. Its fine. Hey hi arent you hot . Eczema again . Its fine. I saw something the other day. Eczema exposed. Your eczema could be something called atopic dermatitis, which can be caused by inflammation under your skin. Maybe you should ask your doctor .
