    even not released because banged up he was is a 100% best. Andrew Bogut could go back in the game. Consulate consistent and they understand that they kind of big mountain this year and they were they'd pick -- to -- -- and since so you have to look at the whole context. -- this season and put -- all in there and you know when -- -- -- the person here that it went 47 game that they would win six games here it's still a -- it would put San Antonio the six games. People who apparently it's a you have to look hotel wage and particularly with the use of this team knowing that there going to only be better next year. And for the years to come. Yeah but the one thing that I'm Phil and this morning Jim and I felt today after the game -- -- even more so after watching the game back. -- was a winnable game last night even though Bogut didn't play down the stretch San Antonio was not that sharp last night. If the warriors just add a little more last night Jim they would won that game. Without question but -- habit and they did not have a physically but more importantly did not have a mentally. There there are elements -- -- -- -- gave the end but. They biggest conceded I told you great at San Antonio not at their best last night. And and again the word got out rebounded a missed both it and there it is just presidential -- been helped -- even with all the other. Do circumstances. Had quite -- had a big night and gotten 48 and current shuttle but the percentage. Border problem. Because San Antonio kept the middle of the whole country I mean just a few minutes ago it was 92 to 89 in the course
    of here we're we're here and Barnes. And I was here for Andrew Bogut yeah right now stepped barriers are not. On the hot seat there and I'm not talking you guys here but a decider
    for at least a month. So loved. You know -- I know Andrew Bogut to keep not just -- can -- -- And he just you know you can play -- -- some kind of pain that evidently just got too much for. It was interest in which is said earlier gem about other warriors were almost. -- -- say glad but relief was the word you used that that it was over. And I I totally sense that stuff I -- was real loose last night after the game for the first time like a pressure. Was taken from him and you said that they lost four you know. Lost to physically and mentally I go back to what steps said at the end game five in San Antonio and I know -- there with me every part of both of our ears perked up when he said. I lost focus.

Crazy for football is always the baseball to a baseball guy because I know when your Detroit the -- are taken on the Detroit we ever a baseball bank. Yeah I looked a little bit puzzled sports and I love to play to watch. Haven't I can see now with the not enough action -- -- -- Still I'd still go out still go out potent batting cage Justin. Just take a few cuts to -- I love that's what my most affordable stomping export steady -- and hit some -- -- should hit the ball. -- -- critical Matt Millen is doing this your wheel house tonight a 57 again. It curators try to here's -- -- just are the raiders. Last week they get beat up by a Peyton Manning pretty good and the thing -- we've been talking about a lot this week is. I think the team we got to hang your hat on something and I don't know what the raiders are -- do keep in. You know how to create plate and -- always you know that's one of the things did you say okay we're gonna play whoever picked two can play. Got to stop tips or. But they're trying to do -- what they do and and right now. Yet they don't they are bitter kind of trying to figure out exactly what they are offensively -- operative lightest. You know which in transition they need to figure out the -- has -- not played very well acting essentially front the front seven. Last week I want secular and there were -- -- just flat awful. End of an expense. That shouldn't do it with a personality. So they -- need to figure couple weeks ago. Matt I'm wondering how long does it take before -- GM settles into his job I know. When you're out there in Detroit -- hale and I know you are great mind out there but sometimes. It doesn't always show based on the product on the field with Reggie McKenzie going to his first season as the GM. What should be the fans experts expectations form this season and how long does it take for a -- to say all right I'm comfortable with this job now on. I'm very good with the moves on the ultimate. Well and you know it depends on on which you -- -- -- first that so if you walked into place and you have. You know you have a lot of pieces in place in Italy during which in and that you just can't add to. Or take away for whatever you. -- to a place where it. Whether you're old or because tricks that -- -- you have to be taken care of war you have guys who. People perceive as being not very good. They've got problems stint so in the post it to our particular -- probably three years and in other cases I think to come. You know you're Smart justly being sent historically shop track or include defense. That's largely intact from when they seek experts like all that. In an important points and and he's been great at just adding tweaking just things can also. Obama continental -- comes in and you know he had according to pretty soon you got the best defense Italy. And a and it's great for traffic I think the raiders' situation is a little bit different. Rescue blocking in the -- but having said that let me just say. The general manager of football team it is in its its job. But it's not the most important job most important shop is the head coach. Touched a guy. He's the guy who pulls all the strings to make that thing works in and it got to beat. Coach can overcome. A tortilla. Matt Milledge good enough to join us every Friday -- -- us John Money under -- on 957 again. It ain't easy then you got you have a rookie GM and they've done what they've done but now they have a first year head coach it is that a difficult match. And be in any you know just to pay the actors I I think. It depends you know and sometimes -- the first time coach and when he knows the first time at -- he's been there and he knows that. Experience. Maybe collegiate level so our ball or you know. There's just so many different factors. It's it's one can work in which one can all part apps but. I don't think there's any one answer for. Let's -- over the niners I'm calling cabinet last week broke got a little bit with a five carries for fifty yards. You watch a lot of college football. At how long until he can do you think until he can transition to a full time quarterback. Well -- -- for the running part of which saw he's there you can easily do that but to be. You know tipping full time quarterback to come radical back purchased want to quote -- a did you guys a year ago did a lot of great young running quarterbacks. -- -- -- -- And he was right it was -- 35 years ago and he's still right. And so if you're going to be a full time guy and -- sleek especially now. You have to be if for our and you have to be accurate thrower and a great decision maker under pressure and you have those qualities plate for a long time. Hey -- you think Randy Moss is gonna be happy throughout the year he continues they have this reduced role. I'd say Randy Moss knew going in what is rule would be. Think Randy Moss understands. That. They were going to be limited and and when he gets that is to make the most from and I also say that Randy Moss is highly competitive. And win tickets here keep you want to play. And if you take that away from then he marketed pretty it is you know what Randy Moss it is so I -- One of the few Randy Moss ran its sound like I'm I won't stop the Randy Moss despite all stop on the periphery. -- lost one impeccable player and rhetoric he wants all the music I work part Beechcraft. And so he might be a little ticked off about it but you -- -- in each -- have to look at. Here -- one target though last week Kapanen tried to answer the throw the ball into triple coverage to on down the field. Do you think that his role expand you think it deserves to expand. Yeah I mean you know it's just there's a lot. You know sometimes that happens is one of the profits and that's we do agree earnestly pray they have a lot of guys to cubic plates. And profit declined to keep the quarterback time to make the plates. And so I was ready when I play more yes absolutely on the other hand you also have to look around and say OK he looked. What does history have the potential to do -- I've never been able to do and that's -- a suitable. And so. That team if you can do that then you know what sometimes you just. Just suck it up and win the super bull that you have to take a. Matt village that is as he does every Friday here and -- -- of the game. The bills this weekend they went out spent some money defensively especially Mario Williams is there anything to fear for the 49ers this -- it was those dominant. Now you know -- actually. Buffalo's got a couple problems. And it's on the defense decide they haven't been generate much of the past must continue in portion down on the field. -- -- -- -- I think it would seek to expose you to run the ball pretty darn well not a bad offensive line. And I do think that. The court back from drum. Kit yet it's that -- He proposes opera doesn't come back to the outside pretty well. I also think that it's -- -- our defense is way more than they can handle. And I think offensively they'll be run ball old ball so. But this is dictating that -- the 49ers. To what they're capable delete they play their best and both will play the best -- which -- the -- What do you got going this week any U. You did some college -- up. I'm appeared organ. Bowed out in the -- again and this fascinating -- from the Chip Kelly. I should really really good picture Kelly is is one of those guys. Which are really. Really good thinker. And I also say. At its core why their teams are good is their fundamentally sound he preaches fundamentals notes on being watched -- particular play Washington. I think so at least that's what the best play callers -- football back. What do you to pull on what I mean what it has seen a lot of people were looking at him because he gets. Its going to. And Nokia. That'll be in nights nice matchup because I think Turkey and got a good external brain -- Chip Kelly has the same thing. Absolutely it should be a good -- but as always thanks for talking next Friday. Art what you tightly pop chips whatever. -- -- thanks management does -- -- Matt Millen brought debug inference.
