Halloween at the WesseTHINGS: TNF Recap Cardinals 49ers

Kiddle on the secondary heads over a man touchdown. Sad fred sis go, what can you say about George Skittle and his toughness in his mind setting that it's on unbelievable six seven toropotol process on for board and Kendrick Board will roll over and make the catch. Took down. Say shits gown, what a catch by Kendrick Board. Happy Halloween from the Westlands. I'm Lakisha Westling. I'm here with my husband Chris Westling. Hey, Hey, we're you know here

at West Wing. I guess we're calling that right now, it'll change. I always call it NFL uncorked Headquarters. I like that. Well, we just got done watching the forty Niners beat the Cardinals. It actually ended up being a really exciting game, especially the fourth quarter. Both quarterbacks played really well. I was so impressed with the Cardinals even though they lost this defense. The Forts defense had given up twenty three points combined in the last four games.

Cardinals put twenty five on them tonight and moved the ball pretty well. Kenyan Drake, a big man, big acquisition, huge pickup, just landed with the Cardinals after a trade, and he had a huge game. I tweeted, like a month ago, somebody needs a trade for this guy, because you could see that he had the juice. He had lateral agility, playmaking ability, explosiveness, and it was going to waste. And in Miami they were only playing him, you know, half the time ten twelve snaps a game and there

wasn't much room to run. But you could he in this offense. I think Cliff Kingsbury has a really running back friendly offense. We've seen that with Chase Evvans lately,

and Kenyan Drake looked really good. Kyler Murray I thought, really was under pressure quite a bit but made some big throws like they I was really really impressed with them because there were times where he was like, you know, getting out of the pocket and just escaping you know the forty Niners defense, which is, you know, really really good. So I just I was, I was really impressed with him.

And then and then on the forty Niners side, Jimmy G not only the best game maybe of his career, but he's doing things no forty Niners quarterback has done in twenty years. They said, since two thousand, no forty Niners quarterback had four touchdowns at three yards. And it wasn't just the numbers. It was great pocket presence, pocket movement, standing and hanging in, tough hitting. You know, to Kyle

Shanahan's credit, a lot of wide open receivers. To Jimmy G's gotta be living the dream in this offense with Kyle Shanahan's gaming, players open so often, the offensive line is deep, the running game is strong. And then you know George Kittle on top of his game. That battle with him and Boodha Baker tonight was really fun to watch. And then and George Kittle like left a game for

a little bit because he suffered um a left knee injury. Yeah, he was out for a little bit, and and we saw him standing on the sideline at the end of the game on a really important drive. So he was on the set with Colleen Wolf, our friend Colleen Wolf after the game, just live loving the limelight. You can see how confident he is and he's on top of the world. Um, so I don't it doesn't seem like that's a serious injury if he's doing the interview and

he's that upbeat about it. So I'd imagine maybe maybe he'll miss some practice time, but but it doesn't look like he's trigger Traders is gonna go hand out some candy. We've had a lot of forty Niners fans coming out tonight. We had the TV set up in the back so we would see forty Niners fans asking about the score, wondering how they were doing. We even had somebody asked if we knew Henry Hodgson, that would be handsome Hank

of the Damnit Check podcast. We've had roving bands of youth coming through here and I don't know what this new trend is with kids wanting to grab like six candy bars. I feel so bad sometimes I have to say, like, please just take one, like a five bags of candions, Like take one, not a whole handful of you guys. I hate to be old man. You known at the clouds, but in my day we knew you only take one. Oh yeah, everyone kept saying like, I love your setup,

especially the like adults. They were happy to come back and take a peek at the game while we were. While we were covering it, several Niners fans. So the forty Niners moved to eight and oh and it wasn't their most dominant defensive effort. But I think you see, we've been saying, oh year that Jimmy g doesn't have to do much because of the running game in the defense, and you see him Deny play like this. They get

the offense on track, clicking on all cylinders. Emmanuel Sanders, you know, as Troy pointed out during the game, he was in Skangs' offense with the Broncos Rich Gangarrello, who you know worked under Kyle Shanahan. So he's picked up this offense really quick. And you see it tonight in a hundred yard game that this offense looks really good. Now. Yeah, like you said, the Niners are eight and zero. This is the first time since nineteen that they've been eighting though, yes, well,

we we always hear Mark Cessler the highest compliment. He gives a team as those like late eighties Niners teams that were so Denfiditt confident and dominant. But this this defense is on top of the world. The offense is going well, and I don't I think you have to love them as they've got to be the favorite in the NFC. We got to talk about that huge play from UM rookie Andy Isabelle from the Cardinals eight yard touchdown,

Like that's when the game like really got lit. It was a great pass by Kyler Murray and then Isabella. He's got that. You know, they drafted him in the second round because of that run after catchability and we saw it there. You know, I don't know what. I didn't figure out exactly what Richard Sherman was so upset about on the sidelines, but he was miffed about that one. Did not like that one at all. Yeah, Buddha Baker,

we you know, shout out to him. Thirteen tackles, two tackles for lost, three pass defense flying all over the field, and you're you're seeing, you know, like I said, the Cardinals lost, but you're seeing like they've got some ingredients on offense with Kyler Murray playing well and seemingly getting better by the week. And then on defense, you know, Buddha Baker, Kyle Shanahan says, we don't have a tackle who can block Chandler Jones. There's a couple of building blocks.

Drell Sucks has played pretty well. And then Byron Murphy, the rookie cornerback, he tackled well too. He's not just a cover guy. So you've got a lot of ingredients on this team. And from where we started last year and then and then preseason wondering if the Cardinals would be any good. They are competitive and West is I mean, that's I would say it might be the toughest division. That's just me. Yeah, that's a tough one. Yeah, I mean the Rams feel like an afterthought almost Sorry you

want to talk about that right now? Not at all. And the Forts have the Seahawks next week, right, so you've got sort of the clash of the Titans in that division coming up, big game for them, Um, do you have anything else? Can then they play the Cardinals again, and then they these two teams face off against each other. I think we covered quite a bit here is anything else you George Kittle. I think maybe we didn't praise him enough for that that play where he shoved Buddha

Baker to the treaters coming scored a touchdown. Oh, and we've got more tricker treater? Time is it right now? It's not o'clock, it's not clock. Get hi. We've got a fire man o his back is broken. We've got a Hawaiian le god Day of the Dead I think across the street, and a dinosaur crossing the street. But that is pretty much it that we have right now. Great game surprisingly ended up being way more fun than we thought. We pulled the short stick because we don't

have kids. So that's why it's a little crazy. Because I was passing out candy to the trick or treaters while Chris was really, you know, watching the game and taking notes and stuff. I took some notes to shout out to our neighbors bringing us tortilla soup during during the game. Is that a marshmallow man? And we've got some kind of glowing eyes and a monster in a dinosaur. This looks like a goon. He's outfit. Oh you got a glowing mask? I heard you I heard you out

there with the just one. Well they asked this time. You know, I love them when they asked. Let it's polite. You're like a kids, right, You're like a gentle school teacher. Just just one, just one, just one. All right, let's wrap it up. Keep you. I'm right Happy Halloween from the West LANs. I don't know. Is this the first time that the married couple did around the phone. Absolutely, it's history is made. History is made, and that is

till Sunday. Oh yeah, the flagship show coming out. All right, have a good night.
