Nick Bosa | 170 Mil, Sacks are overrated, Chase Young, His Top 5 Edge Rushers | Third and Long

My 49er teammate Nick Bosa joins us for this episode of Third and Long! This man is an issue on the field and deservedly took home last year’s Defensive Player of the Year Award. What is it like to sign a massive contract and how do you deal with the pressure associated with it? What is it like to play with his college teammate Chase Young and are Sacks an overrated stat? Nick also talks about some of the guys he thinks are the best Defensive Ends in the league and who he likes to watch. Not everything is about what happens on the field so we discuss Nick’s relationship with his brother and of course his new deal with SKIMS that went viral. To finish this one off we breakdown some of Nick’s recent game footage to hear what was going through his mind when he was out there on the field.

Damn it feels good to be a 49er fan. Throughout the ups and downs through the years we remain faithful.

[@BazookaTooth707]

It took a lot of pain and sacrifice to get to this point. Let's make it worthwhile

[@tysonmoose7618]

Amen brothers!

[@Yeslawddd]

And still nothing to show for it 👎. BUM!

[@Tonioeltorobjj]

4 nfc championship losses and 2 Super Bowl losses and 0 rings in the last 12 years. Doesn’t feel to good

[@elijahb3740]

Yes hermano, it sure does ❤️💛❤️💛

[@joseayala746]

This was such a smooth, not loud, not annoying, awesome podcast. Thank you both for it

[@RescueNW]

The mellow nature of these two dominant beasts on the field is such a whiplash and I love it.

[@buckbuckboom6241]

Word I get tired of some football podcasts because they be everywhere 😂 these fellas kno how to keep it entertaining

[@Nedmtb]

Been a Niners fan since my first game at candlestick when I was nine and I’m 53 now. This is the best group of guys we have ever had. Each guy is beyond solid and Erik is the perfect guys to bring out the unique character of all the amazing guys on our team. LFG

[@rafaelhenriquez3343]

Damn, Arik is such a good podcaster. The way he allows Nick to be comfortable and speak his mind is a skill. Getting people to open up on a live stream podcast is not easy.

[@BazookaTooth707]

It probably helps that these guys have been friends and teammates for a while, too. Not saying Arik isn't a great podcaster, I was thinking the same thing. Just saying the familiarity helps Bosa feel more comfortable.

[@mannypsf9593]

Bosa is a phenomenal guest very generous with his answers and Armstead has great interviewing chops. He should bring more players 49er or otherwise on. And Bosa should do more podcasts

[@stephanie1882]

Great interview - Arik was able to get Nick to talk a lot - even though it seems like Bosa is kind of an introvert. Please interview Brock Purdy - I love watch his interviews after games.

[@sheilaberlin4307]

Great show, thank you for getting Bosa on there and allowing people to see what a great person and athlete he is.

[@Playboityus3]

He definitely isnt a great person bro is a racist piece of shit…but athlete he is a great athlete thats facts.

[@dragshotking7776]

First time watching the podcast, and as a 49ers fan, it is good to see the players you cheer for on a family and "brother" chat not only talking about the game, but life itself and getting to know you fellaz. Awesome work Arik, and Bosa 👍🏻

[@brandonadam6838]

The low-key introverts of that DL🤣 Lovin it

[@maureenbrennan7485]

I've been a fan since the age of 6 when watching the game was the only way to get my dad's attention. Next year it will be 50 years of being faithful. Thank you for all the memories. You got me through cancer, a broken neck, dv and single motherhood. I will be faithful till I die. Btw love the show. ❤

[@sftheletters]

Man this was a phenomenal podcast by Arik. With so many sports podcasts being over the top or filled with clickbait stories, it was so cool to see both Arik and Nick be grounded & even vulnerable in moments. We already know Arik is a stand up dude with the stuff he does off the field but also seeing how level headed & introspective Nick is gave me a new perspective on him. Good stuff guys

[@MaliceEightEight]

Great podcast!!! First time listening to both you guys in a longer format.

[@IamHarry2234]

I’m so happy this came out! I’ve been wanting to hear more about Bosa

[@spindragon]

Really enjoyed watching this. Relaxed, laid back and personal. A whole different take than a sports reporter interview..

[@christynavarro3863]

Thank you for another amazing show. And an another great season. Keep at it, one week at a time. ❤️💛❤️

[@user-yu6yf3kp3c]

Awesome Podcast! Great to hear the players we love to watch on Sundays talk about life other than football. Appreciate the insight on what a grind the season is! Go 49ers!!

[@MarcosCreations96]

Love seeing the closeness of this 49ers team, great job Arik with the podcast; I would love to see some more teammates on upcoming podcasts! Keep up the great work fellas! Go niners!!!!

[@May-nl9fv]

That was a fun watch! We don't often get to see Bosa for too long so it was interesting to learn about how he's been dealing with the pressure, how he unwinds offseason, his hobbies, childhood, his relationship with Joey and simply just more about the person behind the uniform. Thanks for that one ☺

[@charlesjacobson7948]

This is such a bad ass podcast we're you see how they actually are and no narrative spin from media. Also insightful and motivating in the life aspect. 👏 Glad you made this podcast and keep it up. Hope yall get that ring this year...

[@laurenceccclarke]

Just happened to see this pop up. Well done! Been a niner fan since 1976.

[@user-fr2ik3sj8h]

I got to say Armstead you have gotten better and better. I remember watching your first KZbin video and Damm I'm loving what you're doing, keeping it real getting to know the inside from each game and now doing an interview with BOSAAAAAA . This one has to be my top #1 on my list, Two dudes, just chilling talking having a normal conversation loving it. Sometimes in life the simple things are the best. GODBLESS yALL... can't wait to for future interviews with the whole team this should be good future and present content. With that said RED AND GOLD 49ERSSSSSSSS LET'S GOOOOOO #QuestForThe6's

[@jum8381]

this is so awesome, that these two guys vividly embrace their roots ( in spite of their status now )!

[@greenanddan]

When Nick says “I’m excited” 😅 We feel it lol Dope podcast. Super chill vibe

[@user-cj2ix6eq2v]

This is so fantastic! I love hearing the depth of conversation and the primarily under discussed topics of health (both mental and physical), family, relationships, the journey, etc. I'm a huge Niner fan, obviously, but for real this is a very unique and meaningful podcast. Great work!

[@drewking9117]

We need more 49ers podcast man, y’all got so many fans that wanna be tuned in with everybody on the team and learn more about the players we root for

[@rohanvinil6176]

man what an enjoyable podcast.. arik such a soft spoken dude, so damn humble and really just a guy whose looking to improve themselves both as a football player and just as a person.. nick's been one of my favorite guys on the team and to hear him come out and and offer us a piece of his mindset was just great to hear and it was clear to see how much these guys support and rely on each other to become better people everyday.. thanks to both of y'all

[@richardgiles5608]

Loved this Arik, your at your best on the podcast talking about what you know and love and bringing in other dline men like Nick is fantastic. Would love to hear from someone like Kevin Givens. Would be really interesting to hear his perspective on his career as a successful NFL linemen, how is it being at the top and yet having to fight every year to get into an incredible d line rotation. What his journeys been like?

[@nikoli7231]

I had the Niners winning the SB this year. Put 5 hundo on 'em. After watching the pod cast and feeling the vibe I feel even more convinced. Great pod Arik! Go do it boyz!

[@rome_sports]

Thank you, the content is appreciated. Learned some things from a personal aspect - sometimes, quite is better than loud!

[@michaeltran8668]

Good to hear both Chase Young and Bosa Talked about their brotherhood and the fun that Chase has with his brothers, your guys are great athletes that you sacrifice other fun things to train and be disciplined so that you can get to this level please share that with the young peoples, you have God given body, statue but you also get in programs to help yourself achieve good goals .

[@harrydhatt9242]

This was a very calming podcast. I enjoyed it lol 🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@caribbeanchica4747]

Was great seeing Nick in such a chill setting. Different from his normal media interviews.

[@worldofheidi23]

Great interview/conversation. The respect and admiration for each other shows.

[@jayennjr]

Arik, I was at the Jax game Sunday. After the game you had some jerks ragging while you were with your family. Your poise and patience was impressive man. Eff them and anybody like them. #faithful #ninergang

[@samworlock1987]

Love being able to hear more from Arik I feel like he’s always been so well spoken on the game like so many other niners (probably because it comes from the top down) but it nice because I feel he doesn’t always get the credit or airtime he deserves, much love to Bosa and the whole team BANG BANG NINER GANG

[@marcuslittle9506]

Kinda nice to hear a longer form piece on Bosa and get to know him a little better.

[@MSaldivar81]

This was very insightful and chill, I liked the vibe🫶🏻 Also, I’m looking forward to that #BosaBookClub 👀

[@bud6681]

Don’t think anybody has ever heard Bosa speak that much since he’s been a pro. Couldn’t have picked a better way to bring him out to us fans. Been a Niner fan longer than you guys have been alive but as a fan we’ve never had real life exposure to the men behind the face masks so this is appreciated and needed more than y’all know! Now go get that ship!!!!

[@genore1993]

Great to have a guest on. Trent would be wild to hear his side of ball. Also to get to know the best left tackle in the nfl better.

[@Ek.650]

The media definitely takes a toll on our perspective of the players. Glad I came across this genuine podcast.

[@nikolastalia5772]

This is really good, please bring on more guests!

[@rexysuperman]

This is dope. Hope more players come out and show their off the field side more. Bosa Book Club baby!

[@trisheezy]

I need the bosa book club!

[@marcusalanizEST.1946]

Amazing podcast fellas, the Faithful appreciate both of you.

[@lafiYO]

Dope podcast.. two of the best..

[@ceejay5226]

Great podcast! Love hearing you all's insight

[@213rmateo]

Awesome interview!

[@Manie720]

Excellent podcast honestly and just a good inside look that you're normal people trying to be a better person everyday. Keep it up and as always go 9ers!

[@jazzkween]

Great show coming from a player himself not from a bias journalist. Learning the real take on what's happening not caught by the camera

[@LizR003]

Love Bosa! You both were fantastic in this!

[@Hitch_49]

The mindset of a guy that is obsessed with being great and just cause he got the bag he doesn’t wanna let anyone down. Love u nick. Go niners

[@MLChannel100]

Awesome podcast. This is how mature and confident athletes converse. No cockiness.

[@HuromAmerica]

Awesome work👏

[@joebaer1358]

It’s so striking that the biggest, strongest, guys known for on field aggression are such gentle quiet chill dudes in person.

[@chad.dhaenens]

BOSA BOOK CLUB! I too am trying to read more and struggle with it. Reading alongside my boy Bosa would be great!

[@BazookaTooth707]

Heads up to the production team: first of all, great setup. Everything is great. Although, there seems to be some sort of technical error/glitch I noticed around 27:18 behind Bosa on the left by the hallway. Thought I would point out that out. Not trying to nitpick, just thought it would be helpful. Love the podcast.

[@alexsalinas4301]

Love having these beast on my team! Bang Bang

[@goober7039]

Great ep

[@jameslittles4998]

Love the vib of 2 men, who millions want to have like qualities but, these “football players” are mellow and have insight, in a violent game, highly simulating war.

[@jonathanpearman1816]

This was a great show!!!!!!!!

[@danpaul7857]

Great show guys keep it up. You guys are gonna dominate. Go Niners

[@Goonbodyjay]

I think Bosa is supposed to look at Arik as they are having a conversation lol 😂but man this was a gold episode getting Bosa on the pod was perfect to kick start

[@jasoncuyno1917]

Awesome podcast just amazing

[@thisiskirkdesigns]

Love your content sir. Keep balling.

[@anaramos8102]

They knew what they were doing with that camera on his profile 😊

[@tankerslut]

I wonder if Chase is crashing at one of Bosa’s pads.

[@imisssurfing]

I saw Chase said he got an apartment during the bye week.

[@salspataro9389]

Great Stuff! The 49ers draft some exceptional Athletes and they are also good People...

[@NinjaVan1sh]

Lets go Niner Gang! Bosa and AA being those pillars of this defense!

[@michyg587]

Loved it!! #teamBosa

[@Toddkelley74]

Love the 49ers been a fan since 1st grade. 1981 Bang!Bang! And awesome job from last Sunday.

[@Toddkelley74]

Ps. Need to get Fred warren on my dude. Would love to see you guys chop it up about Niners football 💪💪💪🏈

[@josemarquez5914]

Love the big bro story brought back flashbacks 😂

[@davidcampbell4174]

Great interview, but the frequency and length of ads got annoying. I like how Arik doesn’t just ask question, but also talks about his perspective on questions he’s asked. Thanks guys.

[@johnford9070]

Having a dad and then your moms bro as 1st round d lineman is a good equation to making more 1st round d linemen

[@brandensneed6166]

Good to hear from the big Dawgs!

[@nicoleharoldgillenwater1663]

Armstead Your very very much appreciated on the D-Line like everyone else we see you dominate like everyone else. Next Interview Chase Young plz would be cool also would be cool to get your perspective on Game and one of these days you got to interview the best player in the NFL (League) and Greatest LT in NFL history (Silverback) Big Trent Williams those would be badass interviews. Stay Healthy Stay strong 💪🏻 God bless. #49ERSEMPIRE #FTTB #BANGBANGNINERGANG

[@415KEYS]

Great podcast Arik keep it up

[@christopheredwards6275]

My Guys!!! I like it!!!!!! #bangbang 💯💯💯💯

[@sbaldos]

Arik that chi chi story had me laughing and gave me PTSD from growing w/a big brother good shit bud

[@davidoswald5749]

It's crazy seeing Nick be so calm and soft spoken, but on the field we know who comes to work.

[@TheQuestforSix]

Your pretty good at this arik I can’t wait to watch you grow in this space. Now can you interview Kyle Shanahan next ???? 😂 *cheers*

[@savvyzmommy2006]

Love this love ya'll!! Go Niners ❤💛

[@danielcopley3645]

Listening to the little brother bullying was amazing!!! 😂

[@subversivevegan]

Awesome interview. And the only stat that matters is W-L!!!

[@BangBangNiner]

Cool podcast! Arik and Fred both have cool podcasts. Am I missing any other Niner player who has a pod?

[@curtthechameleon]

Beasts. This was cool.

[@einarjuel]

This is big time, Arik! Keep reading back, it’s the way forward Deep ecology

[@srstanleythomas9952]

Big brothers! I have three of them, well two passed on r.i.p. Man they roughed me up for a long time, well up until they saw me fighting. 😂 The rule was no Thomas man was allowed to be a punk. My younger brother was tougher than all of us I think. He's gone too r.i.p but my second oldest and myself still here. Thank God but I'm the only 9ers fan my little brother was, but my daughter was born on the same day as him, and she's a 9ers fan. 😂 At times she reminds me of him the tough side of him.

[@Hector34562]

Great podcast

[@DOMM3R]

Nick bosa seems such a shy person but on field do always hype 🤣🤣

[@rockerchic8144]

So proud to be a 49er Faithfull my whole life and Northern Cali woman! Bang,Bang 49er Gang!❤️🧡

[@WretchedDrummer]

Two silent assassins! The Kim Kardashian part had me laughing.

[@jesusfrocha2581]

Go Ninersssss!!!! Go Faithful!!!! Let’s go get another W this Sunday!!!! Let’s go D line let’s get more sacks !!!! Let’s go

[@oldfart2962]

Lmao I wanna know what the fuck Trent was calling Arik about

[@rawmeseesoundsavvvy170]

Yeah I'm curious now too 😂

[@WretchedDrummer]

Wait what did I miss 💀

[@chriseddis]

Just shows you how much those guys respect Trent. Dude is literally recording a podcast, but if Trent calls, you gotta answer.

[@RunYourRaceTL]

Stay tuned yall 👀

[@chriseddis]

@@RunYourRaceTL Trent next podcast guest. Calling it now.

[@Oneklickmedia]

Fred Warner show is great and now Armstead! Dude is a beast and good human! Sacramento proud

[@bdizzle52o]

You guys are both very well Spoken. Go niners !

[@BBaker916]

I'd say that David Lombardi is the only 49ers beat writer who understands how much you guys deliver for the defense even when it doesn't show up in the stat lines. Honestly, Bosa should give you a piece of that DPOY title. He was definitely a different player when you were out for a bit last season.

[@iimRose]

Two Pillars. Would love to see Bosa, Fred, Armstead on a episode!

[@BazookaTooth707]

I want to see a roundtable of players on both offense and defense chop it up. That would be dope

[@lamarg101]

14:58 i hear ya bosa but keep doing what you do my dawg

Love you Guys!!🩷🩷
