WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:12.520 She's not even said that Dallas all offense is different 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:17.320 without right, that's a good question. Um, obviously as talented 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:21.120 there as there is in the league. And it's um, 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.160 you know, anytime you lose a player like that, it's difficult. 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.360 But saying that, it's not like they don't have other weapons. 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.800 You know, they have Jason Whitn and Cole Beasley and 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.560 Terrence Williams and and one of the better I mean 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:33.000 the way he's playing right now, one of the best 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:34.960 quarterbacks in the league, you know, running the show. So 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.159 you're going to lose a player because it does is 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:39.720 you know, what a dynamic football player is. But it's 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.479 not like there's a huge discrepancy. They don't have other 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.159 people in there, so we expect him to operate. You know, 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.360 the key to that offense is a quarterback and he's 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.800 playing at a really high level right now. How does 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.360 it look run a game? Look different with gout de Marco, 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.160 there's a similar place. You know, they're still trying to run, 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.400 stretch and uh and get up onto the linebackers and 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.840 get the ball to the perimeter. And um, you know 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.400 that the scheme hasn't changed. They just used to have 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.280 used multiple running backs with Randall and McFadden in with Dunbar. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.840 The narrative and the offense, anybody can run behind that 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.399 offensive line pulled up when you look at the film, 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.720 I don't, I'm not in the narratives. They had a 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.800 good running game against the Giants. Mark what happened to him? 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.640 And tours a septendent on a field goal or an 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.240 extra point, whichever one. I'm not sure exactly which one 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:30.560 was on, but I think it was the last one. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.920 And so he tours by septendent. So it's a three 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.880 to four month recovery. So he's uh, he's been put 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.000 on I R And Julian Vanderbilty has been brought back up. 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.520 Julian and Josh she would be most likely the backups. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.560 We're gonna let the we go out. Yeah, I mean 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.920 we just Julian just got back. So we'll see how 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.720 it plays out and see how that we handle it 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.880 here through our training sessions and he balance in the 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.360 running game, backsteading, carries to get into a rhythm, and 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.240 also it's not working, and other stuff is working. Just 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.960 going with the other stuff. I think you're you're you're 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.840 are always trying to get what moves the offense, you know, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.080 and there are going to be times when we run 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.840 the ball sixty times, and there's gonna be times and 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.400 we have to pass the ball sixty times. And I 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.200 just think it's it's how the game expresses itself, you know, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.359 and and where you are, you know, you don't know 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.639 if you're going to be up twenty to three or 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:19.400 you down twenty to three. I think a lot of 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:20.760 that is is that you got to let the game 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.320 play itself out. So that's always been our approach, and 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.320 I had success with what defense sort of clogg in 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.960 the middle a little bit and keeping you underneath. Are there? 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.040 Is that a template that also matches up to what 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.480 Dallas is good at and that we're their strength defensive well, 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.840 Dallas is a very good defensive line um and they 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.880 do a good job of mixing and matching both man 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.880 and zone on the back end of it. And then 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.799 obviously I think it's a little bit different look now 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.880 with Sean Leeback at linebacker, who played really really well 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.679 against US two years ago, can really run and play 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.799 sideline to sideline who wasn't there last year. So you know, 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.800 they've got a couple. They've got a little bit different 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.680 defense than Atlanta, but um really talented at all three levels. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.680 Does look to say, as he did two years ago, 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:07.639 he himself being ready. Unfortunately, Yes, how are you? How 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.239 are you? Hope? Was expect everybody it sides moulk everybody 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.160 should be out there to except for two. Two is 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.280 going through with Uh the concussion protcol you mentioned yesterday, 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.520 I got the guard play. Um. When you think of 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:23.959 how the tackles played the outside, Um, we got beat 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.160 on on a twist once, you know, and I just 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.839 think it was a pass off deal. Um, But those 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.400 guys did a decent job. And you know in the 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.400 opening game, both Lane and and jpre and beating you 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.400 on your own field exactly. The players think about that 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.760 as at talking point going into this game with the 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.200 guys who were year last year, we've been there going 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.800 into year three. They've beat us on our field and 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.280 we beat him on their field. So we hope we 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.680 can change that because we're playing on our field this time. 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.240 So we haven't really we haven't talked about you know, 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.160 I mean, it's every game is a must win, so 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.920 it's not added motivation. Hey, we're at home. We gotta 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.880 play harder. It's you know, we gotta go out and 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.800 play a really good Dallas team. And whether it's whether 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.720 it would be in Dallas or here, you know, we 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:13.160 we gotta play a good football game, Marcus. Marcus says, yes, 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.880 So we'll see what you know, he's been. They said 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.520 he's gonna go full. We'll see how long that goes. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.440 But um, that's where participating. What level of control the 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.240 quarterbacks have, UM in terms of the audibling at the 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.960 line here just seeing that, Like, guess, it depends on 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.080 the play. But they can change things. You know, our 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.920 protections change all the time. But it's a combination of 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.960 the center and the quarterback. Um, the quarterback can trump 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.200 the center. The center can trump the quarterback. It just 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.360 depends on how we're doing it. You know, there's certain 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.200 looks for war changing things in the run game too, 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.240 So there's either wars in there. It just depends on 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.320 how the play call goes in. I guess if you're 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.640 running Temples, we're difficult. Now. We can still change things 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:55.600 in Temple too. Did the Falcons just dominate the offensive 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.720 line when it came to the running plays or did 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.880 they seem to have a pretty good fix on what 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.400 you were doing at a certain formation. No, I think 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.240 part of it was we got away from it. I 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.200 mean we called a ton of passes in the second half. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.400 Pitch you're down twenty to three, so you know it's 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.880 a three score game at that point in time and 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:13.760 you're trying to get back into the game. And we 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.920 also felt our matchups inside, whether it be our tight 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.200 ends are running back or our inside receivers, were a 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.599 really good way for us to move the football. And 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.600 so to us running the ball or throwing the ball, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.520 it doesn't matter. We're equal opportunity ball movers. So you 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.400 want to let us give us an opportunity to throw 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.280 the ball in front of end and we can get 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:35.960 the ball and we still got it in Darren's hands 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.039 and we got you know, run after the catch. You 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:39.360 know a lot of those times where are back come 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.800 out of the back. So that's just a toss. We 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.640 equate that to that's a long handoff, you know, so 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.159 you get the ball to the back of the flat 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:46.800 and he turned it up the field. For a game 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.200 of ten, that's still the the same concept toss. So 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.960 they weren't They didn't have like an extra guy in 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.600 the box again to defend the run. And they play 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.400 the same defense that they always played. So two inside 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.719 linebackers are strong safety and a nicke guy, so third 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.840 and one player, and he came in on blocked. We 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.560 should have zoned the whole thing across the front and 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:08.799 we were a man in a little bit. We should 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.560 have been in a full zone. A lot in the 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.880 NFL where a player goes to another team like DeMarco, worry, 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.000 especially with the indiddition and there is a human emotion 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.479 element of it, how do you monitor it, manage it 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.320 with a situation like this, in a game like this Demorco, 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.760 I think it just depends on the player, you know. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:31.359 I think Demarcos are very grounded, uh individual, you know, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.640 and he's he's pretty you know, there's consistent in his 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.039 approach every day that he's here. You know, he's not 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:38.960 an up and down guy. You know. I think sometimes 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.440 I just think it depends on the individual. But he's 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.960 he's been fine. You know. We'll monitor him just like 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.560 we monitor all our players this week, but I haven't 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.279 seen any change in him because of that. It's Dallas 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:53.680 week and he played four Dallas. The run distribution side snacks, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.000 you want him go on the field more for that 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:04.120 depends depends on how the game gets expressed. So yeah, yeah, 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.039 there's some interesting things that Darreon brought to us in 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:12.200 that game so well, but it's just out today, so okay, yeah, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.920 I don't know. I mean, he could be back tomorrow. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.520 So again, we'll address it like we normally do at 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.160 the end of the week. You know, everybody will get reps. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.400 But if he's out, then we'll make a decision later 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.760 in a week. Uh. At gunner, I think it was 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.960 Huff and Row. At that point in time where we 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:29.840 were rotating four gunners, we had Huff Row, we had 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.040 Biggers and two too, so it was one of one 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.880 of those. I don't know if we punted after that though. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.560 Up the good Atlanta and Chris coming into play the 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.280 same spot. Is that formation we're happy with you a 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.280 fan of Yeah, Malcolm did a really nice job and 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:46.880 Chris did a really nice job. But again, a lot 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.080 of it was because of what Atlanta did. A lot 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.400 of times Julio ended up in the slot, so we 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.560 wanted a bigger, physical guy in there. Um, So it 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.920 can change this week depending on how you know, we 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.040 think they're going to change, And if and is Dallas 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.240 gonna change with this being out? Are they going to 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.640 move some of their guys around the top five defensive 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:09.400 backs there? Do you crossing? Now that was a game 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.320 plan for Atlanta, So to say he's not one of 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:18.239 our top five defensive backs, well, we'll have a different 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:23.640 game plan this week. We cross train everybody. So once 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.560 we get into the season earlier on days, How does 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.840 a player like that, even the equation change the bath 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.800 for you guys to chang change the what change the math? 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.160 I think they still have eleven, so I would say 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.560 it doesn't change the math much. I mean, they're still 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.640 going to have a guy that takes his spot, So 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:48.320 you know, I don't think the difficult playing them is 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.760 that they have other weapons. So it was, you know, 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.680 you're worried about that, but you're worried about Whitton, but 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.439 you're worried about Beasley. It's you know, you have to 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.600 be worried about Terrence Williams also, so um, you know 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:00.400 it's it's uh. I don't know how much it changes 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.200 the math um in terms of their in terms of 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:04.920 how they're going to deploy their guys, And you won't 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.000 know until you see what their game plan is. You know, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.640 how what are they gonna do? Are they gonna play 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.520 with two tight ends? And is it going to be 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.080 Escobar and two receivers most of the game. So you 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.800 can't sit there and say, well, Dez is out, they're 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.920 gonna do this because we don't dictate what they do. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.000 We have to react to what they do. So is 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.599 it a second tight end? Um? You know Escobar is 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.559 another really good football player. Is that we're going to 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.840 see more twelve than we planned on seeing, So we 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.600 still have to plan on you know, eleven twenty one, twelve, 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.200 you know, in terms of playing these guys and then 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.320 see how what their game plan is, how how the 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.760 game starts to express itself, because then that's the that's 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.280 the one thing with their depth that can make it 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.720 difficult for you. It's not just Dez is out. The 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.360 other receiver comes in the game. They don't have to 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.600 do that. They can move Beasley outside, or they can 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.440 play with Terrence Williams and and uh still and then 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.199 just play with two tight ends and then that becomes 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.920 a different game for us. And that that aspect. So 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.680 last week and did you see the giants change the 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.960 way they play in the game because Jess wasn't been 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:07.079 there anymore, No, I didn't. I think the one thing 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.319 about Tony, um, besides having the skill to make all 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:14.480 the throws, is he's just so intelligent. Um. Very rarely 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:15.920 are they in a bad play. I mean a lot 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.559 of times he's using the whole play clock. Uh, it's 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:22.040 changing protections, he's changing runs, doing a lot of different 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.640 things there because he has some so much experience there 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.200 and been around so long. So um, he just so 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.240 smart at playing the position. Um, very rarely does he 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.880 get caught in a bad playing. Are you saying that? 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.640 Like who you use Nickel? Change game the game based 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.960 on who you're playing a game playing exactly necessarily Malcolm, 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.800 exactly what kind of factors were going too, how they're 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.080 playing it, you know, what what are they doing? And 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.439 who is that guy? You know obviously is it Escobar? 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.480 You know, is it Beasley? Depending on how they're deploying 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.800 their guys, is really will dictate how we deplore our 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:06.600 guys for example, could be in the mix. Yes, it's 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.400 better for them to have DOZ and you know how 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.520 to prepare. We're not have DOZ and you're don't have 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:16.800 to compare. I'd say the latter yesterday, he's really good. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.920 So just put a little bit more onto coaches and 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.560 a little bit less on covering. Does I think we'd 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.720 we'd out for that. We can figure out what they 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.160 said in the game because we get a chance to 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.160 match it. So, um, we just know he won't be playing. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.120 So yesterday you talked a little bit about technique, and 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.120 I know that's what Corey Enland has been talking since 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:42.040 he came here. Was it alarming to have technique problems 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.360 in the secondary? No, I think you have technique problems everywhere. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.240 In game one, you know, it's something you have to 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.800 constantly work out. We had technique problems on the perimeter 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.599 of blocking. We have technique problems up front. We have 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.680 technique problems I think at every position. I think every 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.720 team is the same. You know, it's not just hey, 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.440 we covered that in camp, we're good to go. I 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.160 mean it's a it's an ongoing process of of honing 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:09.440 your fundamentals. He goes ability to cover tight ends. I 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:15.200 mean like the matchup of him against people like Witten. Yeah, well, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:17.880 anybody match up with Whitten is going to be a 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.200 handful just because of how talented he is. But you know, 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.040 one of the things about Kiko is he's a true 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.200 three down linebacker like Michael. And the fact that when 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.120 we're in our nickel right now, we can leave two 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.280 linebackers on the field because of how athletic those two 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:30.840 guys are has really been a big help for us. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.080 You know, last year we featured a little bit more dime. 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.960 Um this year we haven't run as much dime right 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.800 now just because of what Kiko and Michael can do. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.079 They both have the ability to run and they both 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.600 got some some size to him, so they're not going 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.880 to get bounced around a little bit in there. He's 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:50.360 played really well for us, you know, in the in 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.160 the Best Players Play. I thought he played well for 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.640 US again on against Atlanta, and Um, you know, I 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.240 think he's just he's gotten stronger, he's gotten more technical. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.000 I think he's you see him coming and developing. His 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:11.520 player had a really good preseason for US. Excess h
