1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Julian, Good afternoon. I wanted to ask you. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: You've been around a long time. Obviously, you guys have 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: scored one touchdown in the last two games. You've lost 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: back to back games. Those things don't happen very often 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: for you guys. Can you give us a sense of 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: sort of what the level of urgency is like in 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: the locker room right now and in the offensive meetings? Oh, 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty urgent here always, especially after a 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: loss and then doubling down and having two in a row. 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: So you know, what has happened in the past a 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks has happened in the past couple of weeks. 12 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: What we have to do is try to focus on 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: what we can control and what we can learn from 14 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: those things and try to really hone down on our 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: preparation process and our practicing and build our confidence through 16 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: that and go out and try to play our best football, 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: you know, in these upcoming this upcoming weekends. So, I mean, 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: that's that's how it goes. You know. It's it's not 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: the first time we've ever lost a game here, um, 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: and yeah, it definitely sucks, and it is what it is. 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: But you got to put that in the past, have 22 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: a short memory, and really go out and try to 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: focus on what you can control. And that's that's our 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: preparation process and practice. And just as a follow up, 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Josh was talking last week about sort of there are 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: certain plays that you're not playing now, and he made 27 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: it seem like, look, we're kind of keeping a big 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: picture of you here and we're trying to reduce wear 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: and tear on on Julie.

It's been the last couple of weeks. 55 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: It's certainly been a rocky ride for you guys to 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: try to get ready for an opponent. So what was 57 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: it like this week for as a team? You know, 58 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I never thought it would come to this, but I was. 59 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: I was pretty excited to go out and practice and 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: have a normal week. Um, you know, it's it's it's 61 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: it's a huge part of of how you build confidence, 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: especially with the young unit and a young team, and um, 63 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, when when you go out and you can 64 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: see yourself do it on film. You could see the 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: guy next to you doing the right thing on film. 66 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: In practice, actually getting a you know a bit of 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: experience doing it. I think it helps everyone be able 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: to go go to bed at night and sleep comfortable, 69 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: and it makes you you're most confident. Um now, you 70 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: know it's it's definitely a tricky year with twenty twenty. 71 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: Uh and uh, you know that at any time you're 72 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to be ready to adjust and adapt to 73 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: whatever we got going forward. But uh, you know, it 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: was nice to get on the practice field and you know, 75 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: kind of go out and and uh, you know, work 76 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: on things on the field instead of being you know, virtual. 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: So it was it was nice. As you said, in 78 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: your career, you've actually been excited for practice or this practice, 79 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: whether it be college, high school, or on the pro level. 80 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: How many times you had that opportunity to say, Wow, 81 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: I can't wait to practice. Usually when it's taken away 82 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: from you for some odd reason, off injury or something 83 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: going here, you know what I mean, or u or 84 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: under these circumstances where you know we're shut down and 85 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, trying to fight a different battle, 86 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: So you know, I guess they'll say, you know you 87 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: always want you can't have.

Thanks only 118 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: I've heard some guys talk sometimes about practice is what 119 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: builds a foundation for a particular week, and also as 120 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: the season goes along, that foundation become stronger. With the 121 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: kind of disruption that you have had. I'm wondering if 122 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: you notice when you got back to work this week 123 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: that the foundation maybe was eroded a little bit, And 124 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: have you noticed that it's built back up a little 125 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: bit this week and toward the future. You worry about 126 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: that for this year? You know, I'm I'm no earth 127 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: dynamics type person. I don't know you know about erosion 128 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: or any of that. You know, I'm kind of focused on, 129 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, just going out and trying to continually improve 130 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: and being able to take advantage of the time that 131 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: we do get together on a practice field and really 132 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: trying to hone down on fundamentals and skills and in 133 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: our scheme for the week. So you know, of course 134 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: it's it's better to go out and have a week 135 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: of practice. So, you know, I don't know why, but 136 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: I just thought of what was a liquid faction building 137 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: on like a sandy surface and the earthquake same for instance. 138 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, you just made me think of some 139 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: like straight earth dynamics two thousand and six circa class 140 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: at Kent State learning those things. But I don't know 141 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: anything about the erosion or anything. But I just do 142 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: know it's nice to be able to go out in practice. Thanks. 143 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: I'm glad to be able to make you think back 144 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: to your college days. I ask question, Bob Socie.

I wanted to follow up with a 149 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: question about the forty nine ers and you were. You 150 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: mentioned your daughter, Dwight and Montana. Of course, another key 151 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: piece of that team at that time was Jerry Rice, 152 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: and I know there was somewhat a relationship with the 153 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: Rice family during your high school career and now as 154 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: a professional there you are with Jerry Rice one two 155 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: in postseason receptions, postseason receiving yards. What kind of relationship 156 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: have you enjoyed with him? And how much did you 157 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: admire not only the player he was, but the worth 158 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: at work ethic he had and has that been in 159 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: some ways a model for you? I would I would 160 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: definitely say Jerry Rice has been a huge inspiration on 161 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: me as a football player and work ethic. Him and 162 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: my father. I mean, you know, growing up in Redwood City, 163 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: you know they had Edgewood Park and there was Jerry 164 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: Rice Hill and it was the folklore and it was 165 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: known that Jerry Rice used to go out and run 166 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: that hill. And everyone knew about his work ethic, him 167 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: going out and catching bricks and out working people and 168 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: never taking time off and really taking his craft seriously.
