It. We hear from Comcast sports net Matt Mayo go how are you today Matt. I'm doing great yeah he equally -- just. Really want to be there with you guys the same time. I know the opinion -- for the Bay Area would prefer that I'd be either an Atlanta. Or about a. Or. Looking at -- torn up turf at candlestick. Well we got so many questions Matt let's start with this and we realize nobody necessarily knows for sure your best guesses. Who kicks this week for the 49ers. Best guess that the guy who is ticking on that torn up -- about two days ago. Billy Condit went out there. Now with a long snapper Bryant getting the ball holder -- -- couple special teams coach is -- David -- did not make that trip up to Candlestick Park. Billy Condit talks the I think denied that you're down by -- him. Either very confident guy. He's definitely kicking the ball a lot better -- the strong -- and have everything I can tell you. I can tell you one thing pressure that Billy and that would be better kick -- David -- that last game jets didn't look like he was hit the ball well. He definitely looked like a competence what's in there and maybe more important when they showed shots of Jim Harbaugh on the sideline. It didn't exactly look like he had a whole lot of confidence in David Akers either so. Right now I would think did that Billy Cundiff -- is that guy in the lead. But -- I still think they would carry both guys and maybe as a hedge against something gone wrong or maybe. It's kind of struggles but they when they elected acres. Well I'll bet they're -- typical guys there's no doubt there's no reason for the cut one of the guys that are you talk about. I'm beginning to you after. I can't see that I I don't understand why it. They would -- -- that it's special when you have a deep sense of what it -- who's going to be starting in you don't know how long you'll be able to play. Also if you have a major decision. Going into the game. And why would you want to complicate matters in the end be forced to make another decision. Based on every kid you know who's gonna be your guy I think he would. And I don't pattern -- hit. -- say they they called build on this number. I don't know that does it would do that -- that kick -- a whole lot from it might get. Also look over there keep David -- in uniform. So that's it's I think added pressure added complications that they would need. What do you think some of the other personnel wrinkles for Saturday might be whether it's AJ Jenkins upper downer. Some of the decision just to make a special teams. Well I think to AJ Jacobs will be up to -- the number three receiver he had been given them anything yet. So he think he give them my guess would be about it. I don't know that there are a whole lot of of wrinkles that that need to happen I mean. It -- -- -- and I just posted the story on -- in the area dot com week lion. Obviously they knew who played a lot of time in debt and instead. Parish Cox. Was on the field locked in place of Patrick Willis. In the -- because they put bearish Cox. On -- Randall -- in that game. Well I think a lot has changed since then he had the 49ers typically put it. Carlos Rogers. On the other team's slot guy so I think that that's one change that -- concede this week -- I don't think you're gonna beat their stocks smacked. Against Randall -- every snap. Did jacking caught up cut the other night passes thrown culturally he can't call nine. I think at this time. You'll see Roger's on concert that would be one wrinkle I think his defense -- -- You've just got to change things up -- terror Rogers fifty laps slowly pick you apart if you become predictable. -- they'll go with a -- -- five point semi game are forty niner insider from Comcast sports that Matt what is your best guess of of how effective Justin Smith is gonna be you think -- be eighty. Fifty column certainly brought it out to be on -- what we have anyway have even importing a guest here has hitting a gas. You know lightly I don't think eighty but I don't think justice that. It's not like they're going out there -- He's going on your person and he's tested -- are. I'm happy a lot of ways they're just trying to seek immunity given to the start line elated at the great. Did deadly once told me when you're training for a marathon 95%. Of it is getting it getting to the starting on healthy. That's correct yeah. And even if you don't make the starting line healthy he's lived through 26 and change of. Bill and so I think that in the big market tested about I don't think it beat the medical -- there -- -- -- it. This victory India the court that he does it still consider it doesn't only. It's did not -- to the starting line to help but he. In the end. See how things go. I can't imagine he's going to be the got -- commitment that we grown accustomed to it but just how. But he can he can play it and be effective. I think that's going to be on it and it's been a basis -- That's pretty clear when Jim Harlan made the switch to calling happening that what he wanted was that ability to break more plays make more plays. May be create things on the run. It does that idea start to tighten up a little when you get into a playoff game like this against the Packers. Well I think it's safe thing. It is for him to make plays well with his life. I think that that had to -- -- if if he can pick up a couple purse being out. He'll break -- at fifteen yard run scramble them at all or whatever might be I think that's -- this safe way to look at it. I think what it would -- have to do is speak after reading room. -- whatever the 49ers need from him that's what he got to deliver he he's got a you know might speed up the defense is playing well. Didn't you don't take those chances that you may be usually a little bit more you don't you'll force the ball into tight windows. There's. If the -- dedicated to a situation where they're -- have to score points. That maybe that changes a little bit of -- mindset. -- -- advocates may be -- did indeed help he's gonna need help from more than just Michael Crabtree. It would Vernon Davis have to make some plays. Frank Gore have to run the ball into the get at they have an other wide receiver stepped up until Brady must have been catching six passes for 200 and art. But you know two or three catches for sixty yards and a couple twenty yard receptions he didn't need a lot of help on both sides of the ball and -- special things. -- last one for you here I think this is the biggest 49 a mystery of the mall you mentioned Vernon Davis. What is your best guess a -- Vernon Davis is not caught as many passes this year. I just don't want that -- and it is that a problem because it's in the deep end. Really what Alex Smith was quarterback to -- I don't think he's open like he had been in the past didn't whether it's teams. That you beauty bracket coverage on and doing certain things. I think -- I have a difficult time believing that that he never open. I also think there's an issue even when he does hit the ball up. The York after the catch up there which would lead me to believe. -- he's he's not real cultural catching the ball he's not a great he has catcher is mortal body catcher. And I think Herbert and I think it's everything he can do just to catch some of those laser like -- and that's what he's CE. A lot here in this year is Burton had a lot better yards after the catch with Alex Smith who who -- -- more catch or ball. -- easier catch you know caught -- and the Catholic and we whip with -- can just look at some of the numbers and reviewing some of those games. I mean he pretty much catches the ball flat footed can get tackled immediately so. And a lot of issues there are good. You'll last year he started to peak at the end of the speed and really carried that over to play elsewhere as just an absolute force in the point out. This year had to go the other way that they immediately. Took -- kick start -- -- and and become a factor again in the passing game. Very interesting -- Mayo go for the latest on the 49ers. -- check out his stuff that Comcast sports net thanks that we'll talk to -- we appreciate it. Yeah -- never does not open as much and he's having a harder time with the trajectory. And the velocity of the -- company we.
