Speaker 1: Um Garoppolo won't practice, Christian McCaffrey won't practice, Calf Elijah
Speaker 1: won't practice, growing Trent Williams will be full. Um devot
Speaker 1: limited ankle, Charles limited oblique, Ambery limited ankle. There's a
Speaker 1: team that you look at, Eagles in terms of the
Speaker 1: way that they were built. I mean you mentioned that
Speaker 1: you know Sirianni a little, but not that much. I
Speaker 1: don't know how close to John and how we are,
Speaker 1: but I think you've got the same amount of draft
Speaker 1: picks that are on your team. You've go both gone
Speaker 1: out and made key trades. Are they built similar to
Speaker 1: you and Wayne that you see in terms of the
Speaker 1: things they espouse and want to do? Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've never I haven't really thought about it. I think
Speaker 1: I don't think we're real similar. I think we look
Speaker 1: at things a little bit different. But UM, I like
Speaker 1: to say most teams built it that way. UM in
Speaker 1: the league with the Garoppolo, did he have a setback
Speaker 1: and the X ray reveals something where he's not going
Speaker 1: to be on the field this Weeker, No, It's just
Speaker 1: it's just been an outside chance the whole time, and
Speaker 1: that was an outside chance. So concerned now about Cafrey
Speaker 1: Mitch Will not being able to practice. May are you
Speaker 1: still same concerns add yesterday? You know, the most kind
Speaker 1: of rock kind of guy. But you know you have
Speaker 1: developed a culture here that's in love for a lot
Speaker 1: of success. Aside from the talent that you guys have
Speaker 1: on the roster, kind of what else has been a
Speaker 1: key for that foundation and success here? Um, I mean
Speaker 1: getting good players, Um, I think holding everyone accountable. UM,
Speaker 1: just focusing on as simple as putting people together that
Speaker 1: do as good as they can, know what they're talking about,
Speaker 1: and always try to just do what's right. Um, not
Speaker 1: worry about outside perception, not try to worry about draft status,
Speaker 1: and not try to worry about anything but just what
Speaker 1: makes sense from a football decision. And UM, I'm in
Speaker 1: as good of a building as I've ever been in
Speaker 1: that allows everyone to focus on that in all areas.
Speaker 1: Decision is that an organizational decision? I mean the ownership
Speaker 1: and get involved. Yes, everything starts with them on decisions
Speaker 1: like that difficult. Um, I mean you can ass that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we have to talk about all that stuff hard.
Speaker 1: You like to obviously look at the opposing defense. It
Speaker 1: kind of figure out where the areas to attack them are.
Speaker 1: But is it more difficult with a team like the
Speaker 1: Eagles that have good players at every level of that defense? Well,
Speaker 1: what's the what's the challenge that that you face in
Speaker 1: the coaching staff faces and putting together a game plan
Speaker 1: to beat them? Anytime you play a team with good
Speaker 1: players in a good scheme, Um, it's just sound defense.
Speaker 1: And when you play sound defenses, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of holes schematically. Um, you just so you try to
Speaker 1: put guys in position to beat their players. And um,
Speaker 1: they got pretty good players too. And on top of it,
Speaker 1: when you have a real good pass rush with good
Speaker 1: back end with all seven of those guys, that just
Speaker 1: combines for making everything more difficult. DN. Um, that's usually
Speaker 1: what you see this time of year. I think that's
Speaker 1: exactly how our defense is. And um, they'll come after you,
Speaker 1: they'll do what it's needed to keep you off. But
Speaker 1: anytime you have a team that doesn't have to do
Speaker 1: that because they can cover with good players, have seven
Speaker 1: guys verse four guys, keep people into help protection. Then
Speaker 1: you have um seven guys verse three guys. Um, all
Speaker 1: that stuff becomes a factor and just makes lows teams
Speaker 1: to be more sound, which makes it a lot harder
Speaker 1: to get big explosives. We really have time to ease
Speaker 1: Brock into anything, just because of the nature of how
Speaker 1: he first came into the starting role. Um, now that
Speaker 1: you've worked with him for a while now, like, how
Speaker 1: would you assess his ability to handle just the multitude
Speaker 1: of your offense and everything that you've been able to
Speaker 1: throw at him. So far? He's been great. I mean
Speaker 1: he um, he just tries to soak it in throughout
Speaker 1: the week. I mean it's always harder on Wednesdays when
Speaker 1: you get so much and you're not gonna get it
Speaker 1: right then. And he doesn't seem to overpanic about it.
Speaker 1: He takes each rep walk through the meetings. Every clip
Speaker 1: we show you can just tell he has locked in
Speaker 1: and just building up information all the time. And um,
Speaker 1: that's what you want players and coaches to do. It's
Speaker 1: never a final product on Wednesday, but um, you work
Speaker 1: your butt off throughout the week and usually by Saturday
Speaker 1: night is pretty clear. And that's what he's shown. He's
Speaker 1: been able to handle the pressure throughout the week, because
Speaker 1: sometimes it's you want to go out there and look
Speaker 1: great for all your teammates, but you don't always know
Speaker 1: that on Wednesday and Thursday, and you just keep reviewing
Speaker 1: the tape, keep going through the looks, and you make
Speaker 1: sure you're there Saturday night so you can sleep comfortably
Speaker 1: and wake up extremely confident. You're watching film the regular season,
Speaker 1: how many games do you typically go back? And do
Speaker 1: you watch more games when you for postseason power? UM?
Speaker 1: I mean I do the same every week, UM, and
Speaker 1: you know, just game orders and stuff when you go
Speaker 1: from play one to the last play. I mean you
Speaker 1: probably pick like six or seven games and UM. But
Speaker 1: then whatever they have on the year or into all
Speaker 1: of our cutoffs, So we watch everything UM at some
Speaker 1: time and how it's cut up, whether it's just formationally
Speaker 1: or personnel wise. And if we don't have any games,
Speaker 1: you know, about halfway through the year, we start stop
Speaker 1: using the year before. UM. So we try to get
Speaker 1: as much tape as we can. Every team ever talked
Speaker 1: about the importance of turnovers, and you guys are fifteen
Speaker 1: and oh and you either win or tie the turnovertal
Speaker 1: oh and four. When you know, how how have you
Speaker 1: been able to be so consistent in that regard? UM?
Speaker 1: And I think we're a good team and turnovers is
Speaker 1: the number one thing that helps any team win. Um,
Speaker 1: So I think when you're a good team and we've
Speaker 1: been that way as good as we have with getting
Speaker 1: turnovers and not turning it over. Um, it's I think
Speaker 1: you should it should expect that. Have you ever in
Speaker 1: a game seem him frazzled about anything, anything You've ever
Speaker 1: needed to calm him down? Or as he's unflappable. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean he's a he's a human. So I mean
Speaker 1: there's I mean, we have you misses something, he's frustrated, Um,
Speaker 1: but he's not. He It's always temporary. I mean, just
Speaker 1: like i'd like to think we all are. We can
Speaker 1: all have quick reactions and stuff. But um, if that
Speaker 1: clock is ticking, that that reaction ends pretty fast. Um,
Speaker 1: it's by the next play. Sometimes if it's the last
Speaker 1: play of the series, it lasts a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: But by the time you go out there, it's always
Speaker 1: feel the same guy. Is there anything? Was there anything
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that he did that gave you more
Speaker 1: confidence that all his practice success would translate to the
Speaker 1: game environment if he ever got a shot, which you
Speaker 1: know obviously proved out to be. But I mean you
Speaker 1: watch just how people carry themselves and um, so you
Speaker 1: have guesses on how they're going to be in stuff,
Speaker 1: but now you never know until they get in those games.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of handwringing about Aaron Banks before
Speaker 1: this season just because of his workie year. Did you
Speaker 1: I mean, what level of confidence did you have? And
Speaker 1: I don't know where is he as far as the
Speaker 1: recent past expectations? But hasn't we didn't play his rookie here?
Speaker 1: Did he have five snaffs? You guys don't like those
Speaker 1: five staffs people? So how come he's not starting? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean that's you guys shouldn't have wrote that. People
Speaker 1: were like, something must be wrong with the guy. He's
Speaker 1: not starting. He's a guard, you know, second round pick
Speaker 1: and so did you hear him? No, we had a
Speaker 1: we had Lake and Thomason last year was contract and
Speaker 1: aganting I think like a fourteen million dollar deal from
Speaker 1: the Jets, and we had a starting right guard and
Speaker 1: Dan bron Skill who he played with three years in
Speaker 1: a row, and he thought he was doing pretty good,
Speaker 1: and we thought we'd give Banks a little bit more time. Um,
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to the beginning. I answered
Speaker 1: a question of it's really nice to be in a
Speaker 1: place that just worries about their best football decision and
Speaker 1: not oh my god, they're gonna think we had a
Speaker 1: bad draft pick because you're not playing them right away. Um.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that ruins people. Someone who got hurt, we would
Speaker 1: have been pumped to play him right away. We had
Speaker 1: thought we had a pretty good guard. But it's really
Speaker 1: hard to come in as a first round pick, second
Speaker 1: round pick and just beat out solid NFL players who
Speaker 1: have been doing it for a while. And if you
Speaker 1: don't have to do that, and you gotta watch some
Speaker 1: guys and not get thrown into the fire and struggle
Speaker 1: for a few games, and maybe everyone could and you
Speaker 1: could get your confidence killed. I think that could be
Speaker 1: a benefit to a lot of people. But not everyone
Speaker 1: has that luxury. And I'm glad that we had the
Speaker 1: talent to do that, and I'm very happy I'm in
Speaker 1: a building that allows us to think that way. I
Speaker 1: think he's doing a good job. You stay over a
Speaker 1: course of a career, you know, I'm not just weekend
Speaker 1: a week out. He has send faster than than you
Speaker 1: thought he would to the NFL game. Um, I mean
Speaker 1: we thought he had the right mentality and we know
Speaker 1: we had the size and stuff. Um. Old ligne is
Speaker 1: so different because it's you can look and have the ability.
Speaker 1: But old line is about consistency and almost how many
Speaker 1: times you don't mess up. Um, it's cool to have
Speaker 1: all the highlight tapes and stuff. And you know, if
Speaker 1: you have a couple of bad looks, um, that might
Speaker 1: be all over social media and everything, and he might
Speaker 1: that might be embarrassing for you. But bad looks are
Speaker 1: bad looks. It's about how you play over a course
Speaker 1: of seventy plays and um, you never really know that
Speaker 1: till a guy gets in there. And sometimes they gotta
Speaker 1: get their butts kicked before you even find out if
Speaker 1: they are a real player, because you are going to
Speaker 1: get that in this league. Get every position, especially at
Speaker 1: a line. First the d linemen you go against and
Speaker 1: no one's gonna notice you really until you get your
Speaker 1: butt kicked. Um, and then it's how you respond, and
Speaker 1: that's what's you know, we felt like we really believe
Speaker 1: in the person and believed in the talent. But you still,
Speaker 1: just like I said about Brock, you gotta put him
Speaker 1: out there and watch how they do. And um, you
Speaker 1: know I think it was cool to watch him. Even
Speaker 1: in the preseason, he had a couple of games where
Speaker 1: it wasn't great, and but once Week one started, I
Speaker 1: thought he was better and we too better, And I
Speaker 1: think it's improved that way throughout the whole year. It
Speaker 1: was recently on the radio, Steve Kerr mentioned that you
Speaker 1: guys play some golf this summer, and the other day
Speaker 1: before a game, you staid forty niners fever. I wonder
Speaker 1: about that golf session. When you meet with another coach
Speaker 1: at a high level, do you guys talk about winning
Speaker 1: or different mentalities, like what do you gain from a
Speaker 1: relationship with Steve as far as maybe professionally that you
Speaker 1: can apply to your football team. Um, I mean we
Speaker 1: we weren't in the same forsom, so I didn't get
Speaker 1: that whole four hours, but we all hung out after
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half, and UM, I think
Speaker 1: it's it's just fun to hang out with cool people
Speaker 1: who um are in similar situations as you are. I mean,
Speaker 1: you just know the stakes that he goes through, and
Speaker 1: you know some of the players and stuff that he
Speaker 1: deals with, and just all that type of things, and
Speaker 1: so just to have those conversations are fun. Um but
Speaker 1: I mean there was a group of fifteen of us
Speaker 1: and um, but you can tell each drink we had,
Speaker 1: the more we realize that we're gonna get in trouble
Speaker 1: because our wives expected us back two hours ago. So UM,
Speaker 1: I would love to have more opportunities like that. All right,
Speaker 1: Thanks Guts,
