1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Um Garoppolo won't practice, Christian McCaffrey won't practice, Calf Elijah

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: won't practice, growing Trent Williams will be full. Um devot

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: limited ankle, Charles limited oblique, Ambery limited ankle. There's a

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: team that you look at, Eagles in terms of the

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: way that they were built. I mean you mentioned that

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: you know Sirianni a little, but not that much. I

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: don't know how close to John and how we are,

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: but I think you've got the same amount of draft

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: picks that are on your team. You've go both gone

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: out and made key trades. Are they built similar to

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: you and Wayne that you see in terms of the

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: things they espouse and want to do? Um, I don't know.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I've never I haven't really thought about it. I think

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: I don't think we're real similar. I think we look

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: at things a little bit different. But UM, I like

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: to say most teams built it that way. UM in

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: the league with the Garoppolo, did he have a setback

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: and the X ray reveals something where he's not going

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: to be on the field this Weeker, No, It's just

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: it's just been an outside chance the whole time, and

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: that was an outside chance. So concerned now about Cafrey

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: Mitch Will not being able to practice. May are you

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: still same concerns add yesterday? You know, the most kind

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: of rock kind of guy. But you know you have

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: developed a culture here that's in love for a lot

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: of success. Aside from the talent that you guys have

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: on the roster, kind of what else has been a

28
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: key for that foundation and success here? Um, I mean

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: getting good players, Um, I think holding everyone accountable. UM,

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: just focusing on as simple as putting people together that

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: do as good as they can, know what they're talking about,

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: and always try to just do what's right. Um, not

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: worry about outside perception, not try to worry about draft status,

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: and not try to worry about anything but just what

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: makes sense from a football decision. And UM, I'm in

36
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: as good of a building as I've ever been in

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: that allows everyone to focus on that in all areas.

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Decision is that an organizational decision? I mean the ownership

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: and get involved. Yes, everything starts with them on decisions

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: like that difficult. Um, I mean you can ass that,

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, we have to talk about all that stuff hard.

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: You like to obviously look at the opposing defense. It

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: kind of figure out where the areas to attack them are.

44
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: But is it more difficult with a team like the

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: Eagles that have good players at every level of that defense? Well,

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: what's the what's the challenge that that you face in

47
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the coaching staff faces and putting together a game plan

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: to beat them? Anytime you play a team with good

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: players in a good scheme, Um, it's just sound defense.

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: And when you play sound defenses, there's not a lot

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: of holes schematically. Um, you just so you try to

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: put guys in position to beat their players. And um,

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: they got pretty good players too. And on top of it,

54
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: when you have a real good pass rush with good

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: back end with all seven of those guys, that just

56
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: combines for making everything more difficult. DN. Um, that's usually

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: what you see this time of year. I think that's

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: exactly how our defense is. And um, they'll come after you,

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: they'll do what it's needed to keep you off. But

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: anytime you have a team that doesn't have to do

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: that because they can cover with good players, have seven

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: guys verse four guys, keep people into help protection. Then

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: you have um seven guys verse three guys. Um, all

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: that stuff becomes a factor and just makes lows teams

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: to be more sound, which makes it a lot harder

66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: to get big explosives. We really have time to ease

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: Brock into anything, just because of the nature of how

68
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: he first came into the starting role. Um, now that

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: you've worked with him for a while now, like, how

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: would you assess his ability to handle just the multitude

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: of your offense and everything that you've been able to

72
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: throw at him. So far? He's been great. I mean

73
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: he um, he just tries to soak it in throughout

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: the week. I mean it's always harder on Wednesdays when

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: you get so much and you're not gonna get it

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: right then. And he doesn't seem to overpanic about it.

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: He takes each rep walk through the meetings. Every clip

78
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: we show you can just tell he has locked in

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: and just building up information all the time. And um,

80
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: that's what you want players and coaches to do. It's

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: never a final product on Wednesday, but um, you work

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: your butt off throughout the week and usually by Saturday

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: night is pretty clear. And that's what he's shown. He's

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: been able to handle the pressure throughout the week, because

85
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: sometimes it's you want to go out there and look

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: great for all your teammates, but you don't always know

87
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: that on Wednesday and Thursday, and you just keep reviewing

88
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: the tape, keep going through the looks, and you make

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: sure you're there Saturday night so you can sleep comfortably

90
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: and wake up extremely confident. You're watching film the regular season,

91
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: how many games do you typically go back? And do

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: you watch more games when you for postseason power? UM?

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: I mean I do the same every week, UM, and

94
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, just game orders and stuff when you go

95
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: from play one to the last play. I mean you

96
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: probably pick like six or seven games and UM. But

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: then whatever they have on the year or into all

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: of our cutoffs, So we watch everything UM at some

99
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: time and how it's cut up, whether it's just formationally

100
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: or personnel wise. And if we don't have any games,

101
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, about halfway through the year, we start stop

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: using the year before. UM. So we try to get

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: as much tape as we can. Every team ever talked

104
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: about the importance of turnovers, and you guys are fifteen

105
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: and oh and you either win or tie the turnovertal

106
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: oh and four. When you know, how how have you

107
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: been able to be so consistent in that regard? UM?

108
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: And I think we're a good team and turnovers is

109
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: the number one thing that helps any team win. Um,

110
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: So I think when you're a good team and we've

111
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: been that way as good as we have with getting

112
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: turnovers and not turning it over. Um, it's I think

113
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: you should it should expect that. Have you ever in

114
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: a game seem him frazzled about anything, anything You've ever

115
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: needed to calm him down? Or as he's unflappable. Um,

116
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's a he's a human. So I mean

117
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: there's I mean, we have you misses something, he's frustrated, Um,

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: but he's not. He It's always temporary. I mean, just

119
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: like i'd like to think we all are. We can

120
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: all have quick reactions and stuff. But um, if that

121
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: clock is ticking, that that reaction ends pretty fast. Um,

122
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: it's by the next play. Sometimes if it's the last

123
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: play of the series, it lasts a little bit longer.

124
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: But by the time you go out there, it's always

125
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: feel the same guy. Is there anything? Was there anything

126
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that he did that gave you more

127
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: confidence that all his practice success would translate to the

128
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: game environment if he ever got a shot, which you

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: know obviously proved out to be. But I mean you

130
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: watch just how people carry themselves and um, so you

131
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: have guesses on how they're going to be in stuff,

132
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: but now you never know until they get in those games.

133
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 1: There was a lot of handwringing about Aaron Banks before

134
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: this season just because of his workie year. Did you

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, what level of confidence did you have? And

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where is he as far as the

137
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: recent past expectations? But hasn't we didn't play his rookie here?

138
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Did he have five snaffs? You guys don't like those

139
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: five staffs people? So how come he's not starting? Right?

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's you guys shouldn't have wrote that. People

141
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: were like, something must be wrong with the guy. He's

142
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: not starting. He's a guard, you know, second round pick

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: and so did you hear him? No, we had a

144
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: we had Lake and Thomason last year was contract and

145
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: aganting I think like a fourteen million dollar deal from

146
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: the Jets, and we had a starting right guard and

147
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: Dan bron Skill who he played with three years in

148
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: a row, and he thought he was doing pretty good,

149
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: and we thought we'd give Banks a little bit more time. Um,

150
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to the beginning. I answered

151
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: a question of it's really nice to be in a

152
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: place that just worries about their best football decision and

153
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: not oh my god, they're gonna think we had a

154
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: bad draft pick because you're not playing them right away. Um.

155
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes that ruins people. Someone who got hurt, we would

156
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: have been pumped to play him right away. We had

157
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: thought we had a pretty good guard. But it's really

158
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: hard to come in as a first round pick, second

159
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: round pick and just beat out solid NFL players who

160
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: have been doing it for a while. And if you

161
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: don't have to do that, and you gotta watch some

162
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: guys and not get thrown into the fire and struggle

163
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: for a few games, and maybe everyone could and you

164
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: could get your confidence killed. I think that could be

165
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: a benefit to a lot of people. But not everyone

166
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: has that luxury. And I'm glad that we had the

167
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: talent to do that, and I'm very happy I'm in

168
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: a building that allows us to think that way. I

169
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: think he's doing a good job. You stay over a

170
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: course of a career, you know, I'm not just weekend

171
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a week out. He has send faster than than you

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: thought he would to the NFL game. Um, I mean

173
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: we thought he had the right mentality and we know

174
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: we had the size and stuff. Um. Old ligne is

175
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: so different because it's you can look and have the ability.

176
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: But old line is about consistency and almost how many

177
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: times you don't mess up. Um, it's cool to have

178
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: all the highlight tapes and stuff. And you know, if

179
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: you have a couple of bad looks, um, that might

180
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: be all over social media and everything, and he might

181
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: that might be embarrassing for you. But bad looks are

182
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: bad looks. It's about how you play over a course

183
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: of seventy plays and um, you never really know that

184
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: till a guy gets in there. And sometimes they gotta

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: get their butts kicked before you even find out if

186
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: they are a real player, because you are going to

187
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: get that in this league. Get every position, especially at

188
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: a line. First the d linemen you go against and

189
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: no one's gonna notice you really until you get your

190
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: butt kicked. Um, and then it's how you respond, and

191
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: that's what's you know, we felt like we really believe

192
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: in the person and believed in the talent. But you still,

193
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: just like I said about Brock, you gotta put him

194
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: out there and watch how they do. And um, you

195
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: know I think it was cool to watch him. Even

196
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason, he had a couple of games where

197
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't great, and but once Week one started, I

198
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: thought he was better and we too better, And I

199
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: think it's improved that way throughout the whole year. It

200
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: was recently on the radio, Steve Kerr mentioned that you

201
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: guys play some golf this summer, and the other day

202
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: before a game, you staid forty niners fever. I wonder

203
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: about that golf session. When you meet with another coach

204
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: at a high level, do you guys talk about winning

205
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: or different mentalities, like what do you gain from a

206
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: relationship with Steve as far as maybe professionally that you

207
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: can apply to your football team. Um, I mean we

208
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: we weren't in the same forsom, so I didn't get

209
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: that whole four hours, but we all hung out after

210
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half, and UM, I think

211
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: it's it's just fun to hang out with cool people

212
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: who um are in similar situations as you are. I mean,

213
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: you just know the stakes that he goes through, and

214
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: you know some of the players and stuff that he

215
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: deals with, and just all that type of things, and

216
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: so just to have those conversations are fun. Um but

217
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: I mean there was a group of fifteen of us

218
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: and um, but you can tell each drink we had,

219
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: the more we realize that we're gonna get in trouble

220
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: because our wives expected us back two hours ago. So UM,

221
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: I would love to have more opportunities like that. All right,

222
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: Thanks Guts,
