1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: First of all, you know on behalf of Kyle, our

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: family is our organization. Just wanted to let the folks

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: in LA. I'm a Southern California guy. I know a

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: lot of people down there and people who've been directly

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: affected already, and I'm sure there's going to be more.

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 2: So our heart's too.

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: We've been sitting and you know what we call our

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: mind meetings talking about all our players on a close

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: out and your mind keeps strifting because man's that's that's

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: rough down there. So our thoughts and prayers do go

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: to the folks and people of LA and that things

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: calm down. So start with that and then we'll open

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: up for questions.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 3: Can you talk about your decision with Nick and kind

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: of what the overall plan is now for the defensive

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: coordinator position.

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, First of all, it's a real tough decision. I

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 4: love Nick as a person and I love him as

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: a coach. Still trying to hope to keep them on

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: board and another capacity because he's a guy I don't

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 4: want to lose. But just where we're at really as

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: a team, where I think we need to go. Uh,

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: there's a lot of big decisions ahead for us and

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: as hard as it is for me to come to

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 4: this conclusion, but I feel there's some options out there

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 4: that can end up being a better option in the

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: situation that we're in for our team. And when really

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 4: it comes down to that, you know, in the position

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: I'm in, regardless of anything else, that's always the stuff

30
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 4: I gotta go with.

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 5: So it was a real.

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: Tough decision for me, and I'm still hoping that we

33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: can keep a neck here, but I do feel there's

34
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: some other avenues that in the long run, will be

35
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 4: better for the forty nine ers.

36
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 6: I know candidates for both of those coordinator spots.

37
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: There are candidates, yes, internal one. I'll give Stalei a

38
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 4: shot just talking to him. You know he's been here.

39
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: There'll be a lot of guys outside the building too.

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 7: Back to back years, you fired your defensive coordinator after

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 7: one year?

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 8: Do you have to go back through the process of

43
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 8: this house. I know both different situations.

44
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 7: Were there things that went wrong in the process to

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 7: find these last two guys?

46
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 5: I don't believe anything went wrong in the process.

47
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: I think I'll tell you what it's It's a I

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 4: think more opportunistic or easier process.

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: Talking about her.

50
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: Right now and whatever the date is today, it's a

51
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: little bit harder in February, which on the last two

52
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 4: are in. Just you know, being the last team to

53
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: finish last year and before that, being the second to

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: last team to finish makes it a lot different. So

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: there's more opportunities out there and planning and looking into

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: all of them.

57
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 8: We experience being a defensive corner of being important to

58
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 8: you this time.

59
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think some of the stuff that you know,

60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: just where we're at, you know, some of the decisions

61
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: that we got to make in things like that, I

62
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: think having the experience of going through this before, building

63
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: things before, I think is what is definitely a bonus

64
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: for me.

65
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: It helps me with some stuff. So that's stuff I

66
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 5: will look into.

67
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: But again, you always, regardless, you don't want to put

68
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: just any handcuffs on your decision. You're gonna always try

69
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: to figure out the best one, and so you've got

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: ideas going into that. But just being so early, I'm

71
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: gonna have an opportunity to talk to a number of

72
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: guys too, so we'll see what that leads us to.

73
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 9: Lily, you've always kind of stuck to this is who

74
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 9: we want to be defensively. Is that still the scheme

75
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 9: you want or are you more open to.

76
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 5: Potential changest I mean, I love the scheme that we've

77
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 5: had here.

78
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 4: I mean I think it's one of the hardest things

79
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: to go to when you got the right guys in

80
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: the right spots. But I do think people adjust the schemes,

81
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: and I think you have to adjust too, depending on

82
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: your personnel, and I think that was a tougher thing

83
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: for us this year. Just going into the season was

84
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 4: a little bit harder than past seasons, and some of

85
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: the injuries we had I think made a really tough

86
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: for Nick, and I thought he got better trying to

87
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: adjust and do different things. But I do think that's

88
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: something that definitely, I'm not saying you got to change schemes,

89
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: but you have to have the ability, the the history

90
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: and the knowledge of how to change some stuff up

91
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: when you're in some certain situations.

92
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 5: And I think that we do need that more going forward.

93
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 9: Under consideration for that special teams coordinators.

94
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nick would be in consideration.

95
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 8: Yes, he's been let going or hoping to bring him back.

96
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: I just I just told him he's not gonna be

97
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: the defense coordinator. Yeah, So I mean, he's under contract

98
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: still and I'm really hoping that he'll come back, but

99
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: that's got to be something he and his family feel

100
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: good about too. And the exact role that we end

101
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: up carving out for him, which I'll work on here

102
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: over the next few.

103
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 10: Weeks, challenging is that for him to go from being

104
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 10: the defensive coordinator to being and I'm not saying just

105
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 10: another assistant, but I'm going being the defensive coordinator to

106
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 10: moving back into a different role.

107
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 4: I don't know, I haven't done it before, so it's

108
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure it is a challenge. It has

109
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: to do with is that something that you want to do.

110
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 4: Is this something you're comfortable with. I know our building

111
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: would be comfortable with it. I know our players would

112
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: be comfortable with it. There's you know, this was a

113
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 4: tough year, but no, Nick didn't lose any respect or

114
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: anything like that for many of our players or our coaches.

115
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 4: And I think if you talk to anyone, whether it's

116
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: with you guys in the media or it's just one

117
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 4: on one, he's got a lot of respect for people

118
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: from people here, and everyone does think he's a good coach.

119
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 4: You know, I spent his last two days having exit interviews.

120
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: That's been you know, to go through these two days

121
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: where all I do is just talk to people and

122
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 4: you talk to everybody. Lots of good feedback on Nick

123
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: and I think the guys would be real excited it

124
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: if he was here next year.

125
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 11: Is there any uncertainty about Trent Williams him playing in

126
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 11: twenty twenty five.

127
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: Uh, Trent, Trent's doing well. He's uh, you know, he's uh.

128
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: He had a bruise in the you know, in the

129
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: ankle joint and it probably took a little longer than

130
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: anyone anticipated, but sometimes that happens.

131
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: And the good news is it's taken a positive turn.

132
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: Trance's Trent's mindset is where where it always is, and

133
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: he's still very interested in and being a great player

134
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: that he is, and I think he's still got a

135
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: lot lot left in the tank. So Trance committed as ever,

136
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: and we love having Trent Williams a part of us.

137
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 12: Mentions out there for the DC's bought also special teams coordinator.

138
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 8: What are you looking for for both spots?

139
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm looking for a guy who I think

140
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: will fit with our team the best. I'd like to

141
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: send and talk to you guys about our personnel. I

142
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 4: want to obviously talk to someone about their plans schrammatically

143
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: and what they like to do.

144
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 5: But that's all great. What are you planning to do

145
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: with our team?

146
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: And that's what it involves certain people, I mean in

147
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 4: terms of when they look at what we have, what

148
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: they think we need going forward, what we got to

149
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: go get And so it's I want someone that kind

150
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: of messes with what I believe in and but I

151
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: also believe in that you got to fit to come

152
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 4: up with the best thing possible that fits our situation

153
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 4: right now. So that'll be talking about our personnel, the roster,

154
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: think a lot of things like that, and what their

155
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: plan would be with it.

156
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 8: Someone running a different scheme from the past seasons.

157
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't open anything.

158
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 13: Brock talk the other day about wanting to get an extension.

159
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 8: Done as soon as possible.

160
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 13: All right, do you have that same optimism that it

161
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 13: can get done by mid April when spring praying, spring

162
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 13: workout start.

163
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I think what we know about Brock is

164
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: that he's our guy we've got. You know, we have

165
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: interest in Brock being around here for a long long time.

166
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: He's done so much for our organization. He's won big

167
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: games and you know, had a little tougher task as

168
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: we all did this year with some of the things

169
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: that happened throughout the course of the year.

170
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: We just never could string games where we were all together.

171
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: And through that he continued to lead, he continued to

172
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: play at a high level. So we have every interest

173
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: in him being around, you know, the way this thing goes.

174
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: These these press conferences are necessary, but always kind of

175
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: silly because Kyle's coaching. We spend time together all the

176
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: time and there's big issues that affect the team.

177
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: But he's just getting off coaching.

178
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: He's had his door shut for two days doing exit interviews.

179
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: You know, we were just up but we were talking

180
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: about our players.

181
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 1: We'll have some time here in uh in the coming

182
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: weeks to sit together and put put our whole plan together.

183
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: That's obviously a priority that position, and you know we'll

184
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: give it that attention.

185
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 8: You guys last sat up there in camp.

186
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 13: One of the priorities you said was we have to

187
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 13: have finishers this year.

188
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 8: And you guys got outscored i think one sixty five

189
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 8: to eighty eight.

190
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter. So what does that tell you

191
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: about this team.

192
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 13: What went wrong is a physical staminas at mindset? Is

193
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 13: it the personnel schemes? What what do you put your

194
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 13: finger to?

195
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I, I you know, you don't want to. You

196
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: don't want to have excuses. A lot of our finishers

197
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: weren't out there, you know. And then on top of it,

198
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: we still had opportunities, We still put ourselves in good

199
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: position and we couldn't get it done. So we have

200
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: to own that as a team. That's why we're six

201
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: and eleven. We have a high standard. We had high expectations.

202
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: We fell short of that, and it's our job to

203
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: fix that. And Uh, I know that Kyle and I

204
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: are are committed as we've ever been to doing just that.

205
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: We don't plan on being in this place. Don't like it.

206
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: It's terrible to sit home and watch something that you

207
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: expect yourself to be in the tournament. And we're going

208
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: to go about the work. Uh, And we're excited about

209
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: the work to do just that. But I do believe

210
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: we have finishers on this team and got to continue

211
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: to add to that.

212
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: We've got to continue infuse youth and good football players

213
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: to this team. And we'll do that.

214
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 14: A couple of off seasons have had a lot of

215
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 14: trauma and maybe kel can address this too, and a

216
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 14: lot of it, you know, there's social media posturing or

217
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 14: maybe some of.

218
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 8: It has already begun.

219
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 14: Just is there any as the organization that you can

220
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 14: do to kind of mitigate that, calm it down. It

221
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 14: just seems like it's heated up times in the last

222
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 14: of couple of seasons.

223
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think every team has a certain measure of that.

224
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: I think we've got to We have a lot of

225
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: good players, you know, and one of the things that

226
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: comes with having a lot of good players is it's

227
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: hard to feed everyone, you know, and you've got to

228
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: make tough decisions. And we're certainly at it at a

229
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: point where we've had a five year run with four

230
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: NFC championships, two Super Bowls, and you know, you have

231
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: to go back to the fundamentals of really building a thing.

232
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: The life blood of your organization needs to be strong

233
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: drafts because it gives you young players that you have

234
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: on your contract for and so we I think we

235
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: had multiple I think seven players that were starters off

236
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: that draft class. Whether we expect them to be, they did,

237
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: and they gained really valuable experience. I even had free

238
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: agent guys like Evan Anderson who contributed, you know, a lot,

239
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: and so I think we're really excited about this rookie class.

240
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: In that movement, we've got to continue to add to it.

241
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: We have ten probably right now, nine draft choices. We

242
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: think we'll have ten with a compick. But you know,

243
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: we need to continue to add to it in that way.

244
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I hope we continue to have hard

245
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: decisions because we have a lot of great players.

246
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: Here is the first year the special teams have struggled

247
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: here and wildly noted you don't take a real detailed

248
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: interest in special teams.

249
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 8: Does that need to change?

250
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 7: Little con Can you get more involved?

251
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 8: Do you need to get more involved?

252
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: I mean, what do you mean by I don't take

253
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 5: interest in special teams?

254
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 7: You know you're not watching the kicker tryouts.

255
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: And that kind of Let me let me help Kyle there,

256
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: I would.

257
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I would tell you Kyle spends an ordinate amount of

258
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: time with all phases of our team. Special teams is

259
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: extremely important in the way we construct our rosters. We

260
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: can you know, the time is there now and kicking.

261
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Neither of us are kicking specialists, So we don't sit

262
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: here and profess to know everything about kicking and things

263
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: of that nature.

264
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: But the time issue.

265
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to interrupt, Kyle, but no, I spend plenty

266
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: of time there.

267
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 5: I just don't be as you guys. Yeah that's it.

268
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: Well you turn it around on me there, But no,

269
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 4: I just don't be ask you guys with that stuff.

270
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: But to say, like, I mean, we spent some heavy

271
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: draft picks on special teams players, which I think is investment.

272
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: We spent some salary cap on guys. I mean, bringing

273
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: guys like George otom haven't played againstouls here these last

274
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: couple of years. I mean that's bringing back. Those are

275
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 4: special teams decisions. Spend a third round pick on a kicker,

276
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 4: making special teams changes is why special teams is important

277
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: to me, because if we do work at it, but

278
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: it's you know, it wasn't good enough this year.

279
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 5: I don't put that just on Brian by any means.

280
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 4: I mean losing your kicker, losing your punter. When injuries

281
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: do affect the roster, especially offense and defensively, what it

282
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: did affect the most was special teams, and I think

283
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: that was unfair to Brian in a tough situation to

284
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 4: put him in, But I do think it's an avenue

285
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: we can get better in and you can't change the

286
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 4: whole thing out, And so Brian ends up being the

287
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: fall guy for that, and I really appreciate him, like

288
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: he did have a real good three years here and

289
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: worked his tail off and was very loyal to us,

290
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: and it was a very good coach And he'll bounce

291
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: back on his feet and we'll be going against some soon,

292
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure. But no special teams is part of football

293
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 4: and everything part of football is extremely important to us.

294
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 15: A couple of years ago that you wanted to find

295
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 15: something to make when it comes to guys that would

296
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 15: just period looking forward, you have some hard decision to

297
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 15: make when it comes to roster changes and coaching changes. Right, So,

298
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 15: there was some video circulating on the internet from the

299
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 15: families of a couple of players that would lead some

300
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 15: people to believe they Drake Greenlaw knows whether or not

301
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 15: he will be here or not. Have there been any

302
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 15: conversation where he's been given a dependentive answer of his

303
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 15: future as.

304
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: At ninety No, we don't even know, guys. This is

305
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: we haven't spent much time together yet. I've had two

306
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 4: plays with two days with excellent interviews with players and coaches.

307
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 4: But I mean players don't know either. And that's what's

308
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: hard for players. It's they they're under contracts. They know

309
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: when their contract's going to run up. That's an emotional

310
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: time for players, for their families, for wives, girlfriends, whoever

311
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 4: it is kids, just like it is for coaches. When

312
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: I can't always tell them exactly what their future is

313
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: going to be the day this season ends.

314
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 5: It's tied to a lot of other people.

315
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: And I know I've been on that side. I know

316
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: wives are texting you all day asking what the deal

317
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: is and they don't believe that you really don't have

318
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: an answer yet. And I know what they look like

319
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 4: when you walk home through the door and they're like,

320
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 4: what are we doing with our lives? And you're like,

321
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: I don't really know. There's a lot of things that

322
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 4: you want to solve so fast for people. That is

323
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 4: stressful for people sit in our in our chairs, but

324
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: you can't solve everything at once.

325
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 5: A lot of things are tied together.

326
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 4: And when you hear things like that are green law,

327
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: like we're doing everything in the world we can to

328
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: bring green law back and We're not into losing really

329
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: good players who are unbelievable people. So we're going to

330
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: do everything we can to never lose really good players

331
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: or good people. But that's also a very hard challenge,

332
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: very hard, and that's something that you don't just talk

333
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: about in one meeting. There's too many things that connect

334
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: to that draft, free agency, roster years, all that stuff,

335
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: and that takes weeks months to decide.

336
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: And I think the only thing I'd add to that

337
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: the communication with the players what's most important. And I

338
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: know I sat with Dre and always have great discussions

339
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: with Dre.

340
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: I know about his want to be here, and I

341
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: know our want to have him here.

342
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: And like Kyle said, there's realities and there's tough decisions

343
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: and so many factors to all those things.

344
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: But believe me, the desire on both sides is there.

345
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 8: You mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you wanted

346
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 8: to gonna go ahead.

347
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 16: You mentioned that the scheme because of personality, it was

348
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 16: harder on Nick. When you look at the defensive line,

349
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 16: I think the wide nine is coming to scrutiny. How

350
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 16: much do you view, especially in the run game, the

351
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 16: struggles there being being schematic and how much of it

352
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 16: is personnel.

353
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit of both.

354
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: I mean it's I mean, first of all, like I

355
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: don't regardless of injuries or anything like, this year is

356
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: most disappointed to me because regardless of injuries, I feel

357
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: we should have been a playoff team and then you

358
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 4: never know what happens in there. But when I go

359
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: back to the hardest thing for me this year was

360
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 4: those three games I've talked to you guys about first

361
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: one versus Arizona, first one, versus LA first one versus

362
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: Arizona second one verse Seattle. I thought we did I

363
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: thought we should have won those games, and we lost

364
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: them at the end, but I thought our own mistakes,

365
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: which means we would have been eating too going into

366
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: week eleven. And that was the hardest thing because and

367
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: then we hit some real bad injuries, which we're gonna

368
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: be tough, but that's to me what made it steamroll

369
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: where we didn't have a chance to make the playoffs.

370
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: So when I look at that stuff like that's the

371
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: stuff that I feel we've got to mix it fix

372
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 4: the most. And is that scheme is that personnel? I mean,

373
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: that's that's football. You got to adjust I mean, your

374
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: scheme changes when people are getting hurt, when you can't

375
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: do exactly what you want to do.

376
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 5: It's happens on offense all the time.

377
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: You guys are going to see I hear it from

378
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: you guys, but I mean the offense looks different when

379
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: a different quarterback gets in there, it looks different, when

380
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey gets in there. It looks different all the time.

381
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: And that's how defenses can be too. But you have

382
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: to build it that way so you because it's really

383
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: hard to just change something up and three days of practice.

384
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: You got to have that foundation of how you implement

385
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 4: it and where you think the season can go. And

386
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: that's what you really truly try to build in the

387
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: off season and then in the training camp. And you know,

388
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: that's something I think will be better at building this offseason,

389
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: having a little bit more time to do it, being

390
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: a little more prepared for it because we saw where

391
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 4: it went last year. And that starts with getting a

392
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: coordinator in here who can help us map that out.

393
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: And once we do map that out, it goes right

394
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 4: to free agency and how to make sure we can

395
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: get the best possible situation that we have out of

396
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 4: the situation that we're in, and then it goes to

397
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 4: the draft, and when that's over all the guys are

398
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: here and then you get to work the same lines.

399
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: You mentioned a couple of weeks ago that you wanted

400
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: to find the root causes for the down season beyond

401
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: the injuries in your mind, what do you feel those

402
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: root causes work? Yeah, you know, I think my point

403
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: there was you don't just want to say it was injuries,

404
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, because like Kyle just mentioned, how we had

405
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: games within our control in spite of it, Despite those injuries,

406
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: we were in position to win a lot of games.

407
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: So I think you just want to dig deeper and

408
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: you want to look at everything, and that's what we'll do.

409
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: That's part of our process, that will always be part

410
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: of our process. We can go more in depth this year.

411
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: I think you always try to look for the positive

412
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: in situations, and they're and a whole lot of positive,

413
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: not being the playoff run. You have to make it

414
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: a positive because we have this time, how are we

415
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: going to use it? And I think we can focus

416
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more on where we want to go,

417
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: where we want to evolve in both personnel, scheme, all

418
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: these things, and that's what we'll do.

419
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: We'll take advantage of the time.

420
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: In a sense, it kind of energizes you to come

421
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: back and have this time to really put our minds

422
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: and our staff's minds together to come out with the

423
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: best to give us the best opportunity to compete going forward.

424
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 6: You've been doing this for a while now and drafted

425
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 6: green Law and Jennings and Purdy and guys that are insane,

426
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 6: insane competitors. Did you know going into the draft those

427
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 6: guys were insane competitors? And how do you find more

428
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 6: guys like that?

429
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: I can't say you always know like Juwan Jennings you could,

430
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't spend a lot of time watching

431
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: like highlight tapes of off the off the Internet, but

432
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: up in the draft, meaning someone said you should watch

433
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: this highlight tape and so we did that.

434
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 2: With Jawan and it was and say it really was.

435
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: It was.

436
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: So you kind of had an idea of the type

437
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: of competitor. And I smile when I talk about you

438
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: on because I love the way he plays, I love

439
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: the way he competes. You know, you don't know on

440
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: every player, but I think the process and the way

441
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: we include everybody the way we we you know, we

442
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: pair personnel staff with coaches and the thorough process we have.

443
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: It's a good process.

444
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: So you find guys like that, and uh, I think

445
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: we're going to rely on that process and challenge to

446
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: continue to get better. What we know is when we

447
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: have consensus up there, we do really well. And you

448
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: know we've done that and we need to continue to

449
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: do that.

450
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 9: I want to make any changes to the offensive staff.

451
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 9: And related to that, I don't clay. You let him

452
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 9: call plays in the last game. Was how did he

453
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 9: do there? And and do you expect his role to

454
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 9: grow or shift within within that structure.

455
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 5: I thought he did an awesome job.

456
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: And Clay's roles going to be the same as it's been,

457
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 4: which has been the offensive coordinator. He just hasn't had

458
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: that title yet. I mean, Clay's done as much as

459
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: anyone no offense for these last two years. So this

460
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: was his second year doing that, and he gets better

461
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: and better each year at it just hasn't had the

462
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: official title yet. And now he'll get the official title,

463
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 4: which he more than deserves. But it's it's more about,

464
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: you know, recognizing what he's already been doing and doing

465
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: at a high level.

466
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 8: Call plays or where you delegate that sometimes.

467
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, yeah, I'll continue to call plays,

468
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 4: but it's I mean Clay and I have done everything

469
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: here the last two years together kind of hand in hand,

470
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: and we'll put the game plan in together. Yeah, I

471
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 4: call it. Only one person can speak to the quarterback,

472
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: but I mean him first or Flurry. Those are the

473
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 4: guys that rely on through play calling throughout the game.

474
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 4: It's not like I'm just in silence there calling every play.

475
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 4: You know, I'm disgusting them with the guys who've prepared

476
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: for within the week, Disgusting what the guys are talking

477
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 4: with their players and.

478
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: What they see.

479
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: And it's the same thing we all did for Clay

480
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: versu Arizona.

481
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 12: Ricky went through. How do you both judge the season

482
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 12: he had?

483
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 4: I thought Ricky had an unbelievable season. I mean, I

484
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 4: know the gunshot wound is the biggest obviously, but I

485
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 4: just I've never had a rookie player miss all of

486
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: OTAs in training camp and have much of a successful

487
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: rookie year. It's tough to do that. For him to

488
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 4: do that and then get into Week one, which I

489
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 4: knew he would be way behind because of that situation

490
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: and then get a gunshot wound kind of made me

491
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: think that we were gonna get nothing from him, and

492
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: just in terms of how could we and how hard

493
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: that would be on him, but how quick he came

494
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 4: back from that, and then when he did, just to

495
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 4: watch him go through rookie things and alive NFL game

496
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: and stuff and then have them to watch him come

497
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: back from that stuff throughout the year and still hit

498
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 4: a rookie wall without a foundation of an offseason and

499
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: stuff like that, I thought it was a huge success

500
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: from this year.

501
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: I'd agree.

502
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, you have these exit interviews and you always

503
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: take away impressions and the coolest thing some of these

504
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: rookies are typically they're just done. You think about it,

505
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: long college year, right to combine training, you get drafted,

506
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 1: you go OTAs all that Ricky one thing. He said

507
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: to me, mister Lynch, I just want to keep playing

508
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: because I feel like I'm just getting my feet underneath me.

509
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: So that's really cool that he has that excitement and

510
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: he's going to use that. I said, Now, the key

511
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: is you use that to motivate you through this offseason,

512
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: and the best players they don't ever take a rest.

513
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: They shut her down, the intensity and things like that,

514
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: but they never rest, and so his mindset, I can

515
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: tell's right.

516
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: He's a really good football player.

517
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: Proud of the way he handled a lot of adversity,

518
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: things that nobody could anticipate and work through it. And

519
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I think we're going to have a really good football player.

520
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 8: I would On that note, behind behind the scenes.

521
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 16: We talked to Mooney Kinna for the first time yesterday

522
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 16: since what happened in the trend and Chris, Chris Firster

523
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 16: and Ricky. I mean, you guys had a lot of

524
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 16: things that are not typical, pretty brutal mind scenes.

525
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 8: How hard that? How hard was that behind the scenes,

526
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 8: and how did you both navigate?

527
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 4: I mean, that's it's that stuff's always tough, and I mean,

528
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: and the football season is so intense for everyone. I mean,

529
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 4: that's that's why anyone who's really been my friend over

530
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: the last twenty years realizes these you're not going to

531
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: know anything about them for about seven months because we

532
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: kind of go into a hole and you get caught

533
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: up in the season and all that stuff. But we

534
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: all do have families and stuff out and that it

535
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 4: does weigh on people, but like you still got to

536
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: come and you got to do your job. But like

537
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 4: that stuff is hard, and you watch guys go through it,

538
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 4: and it's you know, I think it. You know, you

539
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 4: don't like to watch anyone go through some something tragic,

540
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 4: but you really watch how impressive people can be going

541
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 4: through that stuff.

542
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 5: Like it's when you watch.

543
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 4: People really grieve and things like that, it's you realize

544
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: that's the hardest thing all humans have to deal with.

545
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: But then to watch people who are grieving so badly

546
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 4: and you still have to come into a room and

547
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 4: then go perform at a high level, which is a

548
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 4: whole different type of pressure, and to watch them handle

549
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 4: it and get through it, you realize how much stronger

550
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 4: some of this stuff makes those guys and then inspires

551
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: guys around them, and it does make you closer at times.

552
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: But like I think our stuff was pretty documented this year,

553
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 4: but there's stuff like that every year, maybe not as big,

554
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 4: quite as big, or as many of them, but a

555
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: lot of teams deal with that stuff and we've been

556
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: through a number over these years. And just what going

557
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 4: through with Chris Firster and his wife last year, just

558
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: her passing away a week before the Super Bowl and

559
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: things like that, and going through it with Johnny over

560
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: the years, when him battling his cancer and things like that,

561
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 4: Like it's everyone has those tough moments in life, but

562
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 4: when you have to do it through this, it's it is.

563
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: It is unique. But when you go through it, I

564
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: think it does make.

565
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 4: People a little bit closer and a little bit stronger

566
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: for going through some of those moments.

567
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: And that's the you know, this is a you know,

568
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: it's a production based business and we're paid to win games,

569
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: compete for championships. The one thing I will say acknowledging

570
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: that we fell short of that standard. I am proud

571
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: of this team, the way we hung together. Like Kyle said,

572
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: there's always things and there's things behind the scenes that

573
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: no one hears about. Frankly, one of the craziest things

574
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: about this job. As a player, I prided myself with

575
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: really knowing my teammates.

576
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: There's so much stuff I never knew that.

577
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed that I didn't, because now as I sit

578
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: in this seat, so much comes to you the challenges

579
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 1: people are going through. But I will say that this

580
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: season I've never had anything like it in terms of

581
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the amount, the severity, the unique circumstances, and I was

582
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: proud of the way our team stuck together, had each

583
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: other's backs and stayed together. And I do believe we'll

584
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: be stronger for that.

585
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 9: It's really tough to find instant impact offensive linemen. Does

586
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 9: Dominic Pooney's success this year help you identify or further

587
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 9: crystallize the blueprint what you might be looking for.

588
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it shows that our process worked there. And

589
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, but I would say he really exceeded our

590
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: ex spectations. We thought we got a good player. I

591
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: think he showed us a little more than that. And

592
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: we were just talking about it upstairs. Everyone saw the

593
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: real strong play, the consistent play. I think there's more

594
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: in the tank, you know, where he can grow. I

595
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: think the toughness he dealt with some you know, he

596
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: had an ac joint one week and you know, we

597
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: were really questioning whether he could play on Sunday, and

598
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: he practiced on Wednesday. And I've had that same injury.

599
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: I always prided myself on having a high pain tolerance.

600
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: That stuff hurts, and he didn't miss a practice, So

601
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got the right mindset to and uh, yeah,

602
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: we got to continue to to find guys like Tom

603
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be a good player for us.

604
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 6: How about you guys, assess, how would you assess brocks

605
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 6: performance this year and how important is it.

606
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 13: For you to have him back, you know, in time

607
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 13: for ts just given that he's the quarterback to throw

608
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 13: that process.

609
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely it's poor to have our whole team back

610
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 4: for Otas's that's actually it's you know, last year, you

611
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 4: know our are it was like eight weeks after our

612
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: last game that our guys needed to be back for

613
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 4: voluntary work and stuff, which I think is real important.

614
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 5: In the year before that, it was it was like

615
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 5: nine or ten weeks.

616
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 4: So these last two and then when we all got back,

617
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: it was like you could tell we all were back,

618
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: but you know, we wish we had a little bit

619
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 4: more time.

620
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 5: And when I look at a calendar and now.

621
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: I realize we have fourteen weeks until we need to

622
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: get back.

623
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 5: Like I expect everyone to be.

624
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: Ready to go, and you know, excited to really get

625
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: this going and play some football, and that starts with Brock.

626
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 4: Like Brock is the leader of our team. I've loved

627
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 4: these three years with Brock. I plan on being with

628
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 4: Brock here the whole time I'm here. So like Brock's

629
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: been a stud. He's a guy got a lot of

630
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: confidence in and just as a human. But it starts

631
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: with what he's down on the field these last two

632
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 4: and a half years and capable of winning a Super

633
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 4: Bowl with them. We just almost did. And and I

634
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 4: know he's capable of getting the Niners Super Bowl in

635
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: the future.

636
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 8: Five year run for that the champion cips.

637
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 7: I know he wasn't saying that's it, but do you

638
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 7: do you think, you know, you need to kind of

639
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 7: set the stage for another kind of error or another

640
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 7: refreshing kind of what's been going on, Like what went

641
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 7: on there was really good and now it shifts a

642
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 7: little bit.

643
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it shifted in that time. Also, I

644
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 4: think we went to Super Bowl in nineteen and the

645
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 4: next time we went, we had you know, we went

646
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: in nineteen, we had a rookie receiver and a veteran receiver,

647
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: you know, and Debot and Emmanuel.

648
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 5: You know, the next time we went, we had ba.

649
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: You know, first time we had a different quarterback, and

650
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 4: four years later it's Brock. I think we did have

651
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 4: different guys on defense, you know, I think we look

652
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: at I don't remember the numbers, but I feel like

653
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: there was like eight guys who played in the nineteen

654
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 4: Super Bowl. So I think we have already done that,

655
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: and I think you got to do it again without

656
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: a doubt. I think when you do come up short

657
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 4: like we did on February eleventh last year, I do

658
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: think in the off season, when you know how close

659
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 4: that could have been and it just comes down to

660
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: a couple of plays, and everything you want to think

661
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 4: about is how to make that up because you do

662
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 4: believe this, You do believe you can do that again.

663
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 4: And I think that's when people talk about windows and

664
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 4: stuff like that. And I think that's how we did

665
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 4: spend our off season trying to look at how we

666
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 4: could come back and make that game up and get

667
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 4: to that point this.

668
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 5: Year and pull it off.

669
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 4: And we took our best shot at that and it

670
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: didn't go right, and now we're going to do it again.

671
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: Does that mean like every thought us to try to

672
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 4: get to that right now? I think whenever you think

673
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: that way, you're selling your organization short. You got to

674
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 4: always think right now, but you got to think big

675
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 4: picture too, which to me, and football is always on

676
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: like a two to three year timeframe, and I think we've.

677
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 5: Been doing that really since we've been here.

678
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: We've never fully sold out for that year, but we

679
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 4: always want to be competitive and feel like we have

680
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: a chance to do that, and we felt that way

681
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 4: about five years in a row, and we've gone to

682
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: it twice and I feel like we had very good

683
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: opportunities to win both of those games. And that's the

684
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 4: thought process we're going to have every year Florida.

685
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 12: As a coach at GM, about yourself, about the team,

686
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 12: with the whole Devandre Campbell episode.

687
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 5: What did We Want? Was the first thing about.

688
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 8: Yourself as a coach in the GM.

689
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 5: What I already knew.

690
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: That's something that we don't roll with and it was

691
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 4: hard to stomach, and once we saw it, we were

692
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: done with it.

693
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 6: You guys, he guys been doing this a while together now,

694
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 6: and you guys know the way football is. You know,

695
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 6: when you lose, it's it's.

696
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 8: A brutal game.

697
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 6: And and yet you need you guys don't point the

698
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 6: finger at each other. The discussions always do we have

699
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 6: enough talent? Was it coached well enough? How do you

700
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: resist the urge to fracture? How do you stay united

701
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 6: through the pressure of this whole thing.

702
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: I think that's that's why I really wanted him to

703
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 4: be here with me. I mean, John got in this

704
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: for the right intentions. It was to try to put

705
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: together a team to win a Super Bowl, and that's

706
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 4: what he's committed to. That's really the simplest way that

707
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 4: everyone says. You know, but like in this business, you

708
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: always go through hard times, but it's it's never just

709
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: coaching and it's never just personnel. It's everything. That's why

710
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 4: there's never a quick answer. Like on anything of football,

711
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 4: there's twenty two variables out there every play. There's a

712
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 4: long season, there's lots of scheme that's involved, there's lots

713
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 4: of talent that's involved, there's lots of just random stuff

714
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: with injuries, referees, like schedules, weather.

715
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 5: There's so many things that goes into play.

716
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: And when if you're an organization where people's number one

717
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: concern is surviving, which that doesn't mean they're a bad person.

718
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people who don't like to move

719
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: their families and there's a lot of pressure on people

720
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: in that way. But when you know you know the

721
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: character of a person and why people get into it,

722
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: like John's not ever going to do something or talking

723
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: away just to survive, and anyone who knows how I am, like,

724
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: I'm not like that either, Like you're not going to

725
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: make a decision just to escape goes someone or just

726
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: to survive. That's it's hard to win this business because

727
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 4: it's throw business and it's hard to tell your.

728
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 5: Family to move and things like that.

729
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 4: But that's to me what that's why John is who

730
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 4: I wanted to work with because I knew why he

731
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: was getting into it, and those are the things. And

732
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: I also knew what we were gonna have to go

733
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: through for a little bit, especially the first couple of years.

734
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 4: And anyone who says they're going to be a certain way,

735
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: and when you go through those hard times, it's human nature.

736
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 4: It's a little bit tougher to be that way. And

737
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 4: that's why I feel so fortunate, And just the situation

738
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 4: I am in with someone like John, with someone like Jed,

739
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: with how his parents are, like, it's just I've never

740
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 4: sat like I've had to. I can always just tell

741
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: what I think from a football standpoint, and I know

742
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to get from John what he thinks from

743
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 4: his football standpoint, it's not always the most fun answer.

744
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 5: You got admit a lot that you didn't.

745
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: Do right, but that's the truth of it, and that's

746
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 4: the only way that you can consistently overcome things and

747
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: find a way to consistently be successful.

748
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I would just say it's it's respect and

749
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: respect is earned. And you know, we felt a lot

750
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: flignment when we came in here and that's only strengthened

751
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: since we've been here, and that that doesn't always that's

752
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: not always the case, and it's not just blind loyalty

753
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: and blind trust. It's it's earned every year. It's earned

754
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: every But what I know about Kyle, he's a good person.

755
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: I know he gives us I say it all the time.

756
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: He gives us an advantage I think every every year,

757
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: every week, and he's obsessed with always continuing to evolve

758
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: and press the And I think when you have that,

759
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: you have his natural instincts as a coach, you have

760
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: the staff, people want to work with him, people want

761
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: to work with us, and you know, it's you got

762
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: to you got to come to grips with the successes,

763
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: with the failures, but never lose lose what the ultimate

764
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: goal is and I think we've been able to do that.

765
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: And we challenge each other, but we have each other's

766
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: backs and that's a that's a good feeling. And you know,

767
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: we got to keep forging ahead and get done what

768
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: we came to get done here.

769
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: Uh, John with with the contract reworking for Jamon Hargrave

770
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: kind of setting up the post June one, what have

771
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: you expressed him about the plan and what you would

772
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: except from him or whatever the case?

773
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: Maybe, Yeah, just that, Matt, it was a you know,

774
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: we had some some salary cap challenges and and that

775
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: was something that you know allowed for the post one

776
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: you can early designate it. And what I told Javon

777
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: is he's a player we really like, the same reason

778
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: we went out and signed him. That hasn't changed. Uh,

779
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: He's an impactful player. We did we did. We do

780
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: have some challenges and so this doesn't mean we can't

781
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: compete for his services.

782
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: It allows him though, rather than waiting.

783
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: Until post June one and being being soo because free

784
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: agency already happened, it gives him an opportunity to go

785
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: see what is market and that may include us.

786
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 2: So we'll get into our plans. We know Jayvon who

787
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: he is.

788
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: He's on there, on a good track coming back from

789
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: his injury, and you know, would we be interested in

790
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: having them?

791
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: Of course?

792
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: Is that something we can come to an agreement on

793
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: and is it something that fits in our plans?

794
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 2: We will see.

795
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: And that's that's the exact conversations I've had with Jamar.

796
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 3: Started free to see you're free, yes, yes, depots situation.

797
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: Debot's under contract, yeah back.

798
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, a good player and has done a ton for

799
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: this organization. And uh, you know we're not in the

800
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: business of letting good players out of here.

801
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 11: So you just took my question. I don't want to

802
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 11: waste anything. Uh, you had to with Armstead and Juice

803
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 11: last year. Obviously different results, but you know that was

804
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 11: something you had to do with the finances.

805
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 8: Do you expect to have to do more of that

806
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 8: this offseason?

807
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 2: You know, we will see, you know you we'll see

808
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: we do we do?

809
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: Uh, there there are realities, there's challenges. Like I said,

810
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of really good football players. Uh,

811
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: the York family has been really good to letting us

812
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: reward our players, and we've done that in a number

813
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: of instances. That becomes tougher and tougher to continue to

814
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: do so. We'll look at every avenue to become a

815
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: better team, and we'll see where that takes us.

816
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 2: Appreciate thanks, thank you,
