HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- My guy Brandon Aiyuk joins me on this week’s episode. He has had a crazy journey to the league from grinding his way through JUCO to taking off at Arizona State. Why did he turn down an offer from Nick Saban and Alabama and decide to stick with ASU? Who does he think are the top Wide Receivers in the NFL and why does he deserve to be in the top 5 conversation? This guy has had an immediate impact since he joined the 49ers so we discuss his relationship with Brock Purdy and what his mindset is when he takes the field? We also break down some plays together and talk about when he first realized he could compete in the NFL at a high level.

Aiyuk has been such a gift to us fans see grow and become truly great. So cool to see Purdy and Aiyuk blossom. This team’s management is unbelievable. Finding athletes who are great AND symbiotic to the team is beautiful to see. We need a Lombardi this year!
Facts
Whoa so many likes! Glad I’m not the only one!
And you're a gift to society but don't know it yet my man.
Such an underrated reciever. His route running and seperation is S rated
His combination of route running and hands remind me of Isaac Bruce. I've really enjoyed following the Niners the last couple of years and he's a big part.
Arik is having a huge year. 13 pressures by himself last game!! Wild. Keep ballin big dawg
As a 49ers fan, respectably, Aiyuk is one them. I feel like every year he inches closer and closer into the top 5 best WR in the league atm and I am glad that he's realizing it as well.
He’s not top 5, he’d have to be the number 1 guy on his own offense. He’s been playing good this season but I can tell you right now that defenses aren’t worried about their CB2 being on him.
@@MotherViksChaati disagree, he is clearly the number 1 receiving option on the team, and he is top 10 in yards this year with like 2/3 of the targets as the rest of them
Facts
He would of been a household name on a passing first team .
@@MotherViksChaatand those teams that aren’t worried get fried by him 😂 he saying be my guest
I can see Arik Armstead being a defensive coach in the NFL later on after he retires. Smart dude
Facts he can be the perfect line coach to teach pressure
His first year in the league.. I said yeah this dude is special. And each and every single year he's progressively gotten better. His route running is insane. BA is so underrated. BA will have 2 TDS TODAY!
Bro I remember watching his game against the eagles his first year and he hurdled over the defender that when I knew he was gonna be a problem
crazy to hear from BA’s perspective of how a QB like Purdy gives guys opportunities that isn’t expected, especially that Steelers clip that was supposed to just be a “clear out”
😊😅😢
And now that Seahawks clip that was supposed to be a check down
This kind of content is great for NFL players because it puts a personality in the mix. Some people have no idea what a player even looks like outside of uniform.
Aiyuk is definitely a story of a guy being drafted by the team and progressing every year, and here we are, in the 4th year, showing he's ready to be the top WR
Thats whats up Aiyuk! i know people from reno who root for other teams that are rooting for you dawg! everyone out here in Reno watching you champ!
Aiyuk gonna be a top 3 niner receiver of all time when its all said and done
Damn never thought 🤔 of it like that but you could definitely be on the money with that one!
That’s if we are able to resign him 😢
We cant afford him. We gave Deebo a contract last season and we have too many other more important stars we need to keep. We could do without him as long as Jennings and Bell progresses. He's only doing good because we have a lot of weapons the defenses are more afraid of, such as McCaffrey and Deebo.
Aiyuk has grown into one of the best receivers in the league. After starting out a little shaky, maybe relying a little too much on his natural ability but needing to ramp up his work ethic, he’s certainly come through. Shanahan and his coaches have done a great job helping him succeed, and that’s basically what a coach’s job is.
Brandon. As a 49er fan who lives in Reno.. you make us so proud!!!
38:00 Jimmy took some shots here😭
I was about to say that 😂
Damn arik you got bosa and aiyuk interviews I've never seen neither of then do it. Keep it going purdy trent
Super stoked
Love Brandon praying we get to keep #11
God is good🙏🏼
We should be able too. Franchise tag him at worst . The thing I Liev most about niner stars they all are team guys
Aiyuk!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷
I didn’t watch football really until 2020 with a buddy who’s a diehard. It was Aiyuks rookie year, I didn’t know it, but he INSTANTLY became my favorite player. AIYUK the reason I’m a football fan and niner for life
Arik if you read the comments, these shows where you bring on team mates are fire, love them. For me these shows are a must watch, I see them and I click immediately!
It is so hard, as a 9ers fan, to pick one receiver to like, but BA is hard not to love. Hands down the most underrated WR in the League.
Great to hear some Reno love. Brandon went to high school with my son. It makes us all so happy that he is achieving success.
Aiyuk has absolutely one of the top 5 in the league. He has left nothing on the table. His ability to separate is second to Chase. Top 5 by PFF all season; he's been insanely efficient and I hope Brock feeds him more. He's even getting away with OPI pretty frequently; he's top tier at basically every facet of being a receiver.
He went the JC route and is playing like this? That's really impressive. The Niners GM is great at finding hidden gems.
So did chad Johnson and Steve smith
A lot of teams wanted him, I think we traded up to get him. But yes, John Lynch is amazing.
@notfromhere8889 Yes, the 49ers traded up to draft Aiyuk.
My best friend went to ASU and he said when Aiyuk got drafted that we got an absolute baller
@@chocolateicecream3150 Right out from under the Packers' nose. They were piiiiiiiissed...
Aiyuk showed himself as Atleast top 5 as a 49ers fan compared to the league right now. I don’t know how they going to pay him with Deebo salary. It’s like how they chose Armstead vs Buckner. Buckner is Better. Hope they don’t make the same mistake.
Purdy & Aiyuk compliment each other extremely well.
broooo wtf 😂 i woulda never pictured 91 looked like that 😂 threw me for a loop
So glad we went up to draft Aiyuk! He's definitely a great WR & I love his chemistry with Purdy. Thanks for having him on the show. Was nice to hear from him. Sometimes he seems reserved with the media (don't blame him at all), but this felt like he opened up more. ❤🏈💛
Aiyuk is my fav player on the niners. Most underrated player on the team!😈
BA is talented. He's getting better and better the more he plays. He fits right in with the niners. The offense and his teammates, really makes him play lights out at times.
Stayed up til 5am watching this 😅 BA, keep doing what you do. Special player & person. I love the calm demeanor off the field but a true pit bull on it. Living in oregon & Arizona I definitely remember you cooking D Mo that game 😂 Arik keep ballin your playing some amazing ball. Love the podcast go 9ers ❤️💛 QF6!
Tow amazing underrated leaders on this team we wouldn’t be any where as near good as we are with out both of these young men the silent G crew right here
Notice how Aiyuk said he realized he was that good near the end of the season and this year. That was when Purdy was qb(Not Jimmy and Trey)
Let’s go! Happy thanksgiving! Arik please get Warner Trent and kittle on!
BA is 🔥 this season! So excited to see what else he does for our team the rest of the season!
Watching this from my couch at 5AM, Thanksgiving Day! From my Hometown Reno, 775, giving me chills! BA definitely got the chill vibes. Happy For you Brotha!! #BangBang💪🏽
Love this conversation. Thanks much! A player interviewing another player and both on the only team I really care about. Great to hear Aiyuk's history from his junior college to college. The Niners had their training camp at Sierra College in Rocklin from 1981 - 1997.
Love you guys. Thank you for your time. Love to hear from you.
Good to see more 49er content for the fans! Thank you so much for sharing and posting!
Happy Thanksgiving, Arik and Brandon ! Thanks for all the great game memories! 🙏🦃🍗🎉🌈💪🔥
🎉 Hey BA! Please know not only Renoites support you to the limit, all of Northern Nevada cheers and supports you. I hope you feel the love from here.
I liked this episode alot Both Armstead & Aiyuk are two of my favorite players to watch every sunday. Enjoyed the part of the show when Aiyuk broke down film & his thought process while cookin opposing DBs. Definitely looking forward to seeing what both these guy's do with the rest of the season & into the Playoffs. Go 9ers!!! ❤️💛
Thanks for the great content I was waiting for someone from our team to start this Arik you a beast out there! Aiyuk so glad we drafted you let’s go bang bang niner gang!
Thanks! Love BA and Arik choppin it up!
Brandon was Born in Rocklin CA and that is serendipity. Niners use to hold training camp out in Rocklin at Sierra College, My dad would take me and my brother out to see Niners training in the summer. They Practiced there till 1997, Then Brandon was born one year later in 1998. The football gods answered and delivered. Brandon absorbed the blood and sweat that was left on that field from the great Jerry Rice.
bruh he just said he was born and raised in reno SMH
@@puffdc His wiki says he was Born in Rocklin CA and raised in Reno.
@@scruffynerd84And Aiyuk himself said he was born in Reno, what’s your point other than Wikipedia isn’t a reliable source?
This was 🔥. Two of my guys just chopping it up. Hour went by fast. Loved the show.
I really appreciate this pod and thanks for letting us get to know the players and their personalities. You’re doing a great thing and reminding me of the camaraderie I miss with my “mates” as a former combat marine…the similarities of football and military is what draws me to this sport…Semper Fi for the niners!
We need more of these 9er interviews🙏🏾
Trent, Kittle, Fred, Deebo, Purdy, Greenlaw, Hufanga, Ward, Hargrave, Chase.
Arik your Podcast 🔥 we need that Philly week podcast gotta have it team mindset going into game etc thanks for what you do
Good interview. I’m thankful for you guys. It’s been nice to see the niners grow strong and united. Thanks for making us proud!
Such an amazing receiver who is still far from reaching his ceiling. I knew from his rookie season that he would end up being a top 10 receiver in the league.
I been havin Aiyuk back from the start!! He the best in the league 💯
Just came across the Chanel. Love it Arik. Will be joining in every episode from here on out!! ❤️💛
He’s one of my favorites receivers and he’s playing on my favorite team. He is at the top because he is a well rounded player with blocking and running his routes. I really hope he stays a 49er for a while and also hope he gets a ring with the 49ers
Yessir Arik. You got my boy on. Giving you props before I watch the interview!!
As a niner fan but obviously works alot i dont know about all the content, but im glad i got to watch and hear some of the players i root for being awesome humans. Love❤
Great interview!
BA is the most underrated receiver these past 2 years glad, he really coming into his own. Definitely a top 5 receiver
Lmao man how everybody miss the shot he took at Jimmy. But he was not lying. Brock can read thru every option fast and make his decision.
I didn't miss it bro BA don't miss 😂
BA my guy one of the most humble dawgs ever keep grinding fellas
Y’all are great! Keep it up. Faithful!!
Yesssssss my 🐐🐐 Aiyuk!!
great episode
another fire episode airk
Love that Armstead is a UO boy! Love that you came to my favorite NFL team too! I’ll continue to watch all of your videos. Keep being amazing ❤️
Also, love the catchphrase “That’s Dope”. Make the apparel
Love Aiyuk!!!! 🙌🏻 hes awesome! Hope he stays a niner forever!!
Been a pleasure working with BA!!
Another awesome pod Arik, the Faithful appreciate you.
From sac to the both of y’all, y’all both great athletes and key into our defense and offense so fasho y’all are taking us to the bowl this season, go niners 🌁
AA91 killing the podcast game!!! Glad you’re our leader.
best pod out !!
Ayeee!! My dawg BA
I was thrilled when we got Aiyuk. He made an immediate impact. He's about to go off in Philly.
Dope! BA is my favorite player on the team
“In the past we might call this play, you have no chance to get the ball. But when you play with a guy like Purdy you have a chance to get the ball. In the last 3 years this a clear out and someone else is getting the ball.” If that doesn’t speak volumes about Purdy I don’t know what does. We have a QB.
GO BRANDON ! 💪🔥🔥🔥
He's become the best route runner in the league IMO. Dude doesn't just get open, he leaves defenders looking foolish trying to cover him. I love the player on player interview. We don't get to hear much about you guys beyond the field and post game podium stuff
So proud to have Aiyuk on our Niner team. He’s awesome!!!
You're awesome as well
Shootout to Reno! I won my first poker tournament there. Wasn't a big tournament, but still, I will never forget. Won it with a pair of Jack's
Aiyuk is the best receiver in the league! He is gonna brake out later in the year! Don’t worry you’ll get 1500 yards and some more TD’s baby! I see you!
His Son is Adorable!!!! ❤️💛❤️💛
This is a great GREAT podcast if you really want to get to know the players, their mindset, their football IQ....AWESOME!!!
Another great episode. Arik and team, thanks for bringing us some great material. Arik, you joked with Bosa in your last episode if he will have Bosa book club. How about you? Do you have any books that you read and had influenced you? Perhaps you can recommend? Thanks
Man, I forgot BA was from SAC town! It's a true ride-or-die for the Bay Area One Luv BA!
Best regard
408!
arik i love you bro and love this show alot so you need to know i say this in the most loving way possible: you gotta work on your guest intros my guy😂 great convo tho as usual
Arik you got to keep the screen view on the play while y'all breaking it down. And run it back a few times. Love the pod. Niner Gang
Both of you are badasses. I think BA needs to get paid. He fits perfectly in this offense.
BA repping the 775! Appreciate the love.
Ba is so good everything he does for our team goes crazy
Aiyuk gets better and better every year excited to see him keep tearing up defenses for years to come.
GO ARIK ! 💪🔥🔥🔥
Yezzirrr🙏🏾🤝
Glad to hear they like Cali. Might be a chance to keep Aiyuk when he’s up for a deal.
Question for BA do you have to wear glasses/contacts during a game? Keep grinding sir 🫡
Great episode and I love you both representing the Sacramento/Reno area. Which player on the team has the oldest kid(s)? I've got two in college and most of my coworkers have young ones, which is pretty fun for sharing experiences.
Brock Purdy next !
One of the best route runners in the league. I hope the he stays with the 49ers his whole career. Brandon so chill, low key looking like Taye Diggs
It’s great to realize that there are a lot of Christian guys on this team! I am realizing that most of the players are of Faith and it really shows in how the carry themselves with a lot of class, and how they play!
I think this is an intentional focus on the part of management, aka Shannahan and Lynch!! And it is very inspirational! I left the sport during the kneel down nonsense, but these classy athletes and management have re-inspired me to follow the team again!
10 pressures in one game seems pretty dominant....Keep having those games
Let's go
Aiyuk is the greatest 49ers receiver since TO
He needs to be re-signed, even if it means someone else or two is traded.
