No, So they're talking about what happened after practice. 14 00:00:31,068 --> 00:00:33,268 Speaker 3: You guys are doing conditioning and I haven't seen that 15 00:00:33,628 --> 00:00:36,908 Speaker 3: from a team ever where everybody split up and was 16 00:00:36,948 --> 00:00:39,468 Speaker 3: doing a little bit different conditioning. Talk to us about that. 17 00:00:39,708 --> 00:00:41,868 Speaker 1: Yeah. So they gave us four options of what kind 18 00:00:41,868 --> 00:00:43,868 Speaker 1: of conditioning drills we want to do, based on you know, 19 00:00:43,908 --> 00:00:46,068 Speaker 1: how you feel and whether it's acceleration, whether it's you know, 20 00:00:46,108 --> 00:00:49,668 Speaker 1: straight cardio or long distance riders. It's just picking something 21 00:00:49,668 --> 00:00:51,028 Speaker 1: that you feel that you need to work on and 22 00:00:51,308 --> 00:00:52,388 Speaker 1: giving us that opportunity. 23 00:00:52,468 --> 00:00:54,108 Speaker 2: And what is the thing that you like to work on? 24 00:00:54,508 --> 00:00:57,588 Speaker 1: Cardio? So you're running twenty five yards and backing it's 25 00:00:57,668 --> 00:00:58,548 Speaker 1: just long drives. 26 00:00:58,588 --> 00:01:00,748 Speaker 2: We're thinking long drives, heating up a lot of clock. 27 00:01:00,788 --> 00:01:02,148 Speaker 2: You got to have your cardio up, yep. 28 00:01:02,188 --> 00:01:03,468 Speaker 1: Got to be able to run the ball, you know, 29 00:01:03,588 --> 00:01:05,228 Speaker 1: get back to the side, do everything we can. 30 00:01:05,308 --> 00:01:07,628 Speaker 3: So I've had a lot of conversations, like I said, 31 00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:10,548 Speaker 3: with a bunch of teammates, some people in the training room, 32 00:01:10,788 --> 00:01:12,948 Speaker 3: and they said, justin that you are on a whole 33 00:01:12,988 --> 00:01:15,988 Speaker 3: nother level. Khalil Mack said himself. He's like, Bro, I've 34 00:01:15,988 --> 00:01:18,268 Speaker 3: been in this league for a long time and I 35 00:01:18,308 --> 00:01:21,188 Speaker 3: have never seen somebody this locked in. Look this way. 36 00:01:22,028 --> 00:01:24,948 Speaker 3: What switched for you? Justin? What was that turning point 37 00:01:25,068 --> 00:01:27,148 Speaker 3: for you? Where now you have guys around you It's 38 00:01:27,148 --> 00:01:28,548 Speaker 3: like Bro's he's on a whole another level. 39 00:01:28,828 --> 00:01:30,508 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I appreciate that, you know, And that's awfully 40 00:01:30,628 --> 00:01:32,508 Speaker 1: nice of Khalil to say. And I think it's really 41 00:01:32,508 --> 00:01:34,108 Speaker 1: easy for us to take a look at that him 42 00:01:34,148 --> 00:01:36,548 Speaker 1: because we've got guys like Derwin James and like you know, 43 00:01:36,628 --> 00:01:39,268 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack leading the charge, and you know, there's nothing 44 00:01:39,308 --> 00:01:41,508 Speaker 1: but to be locked in like that. They demand that 45 00:01:41,548 --> 00:01:43,988 Speaker 1: from everyone, and you know that's my responsibility as a quarterback, 46 00:01:43,988 --> 00:01:45,508 Speaker 1: as the leader on this team, you know, to give 47 00:01:45,548 --> 00:01:47,988 Speaker 1: everything that I have. Obviously didn't go our way, and 48 00:01:48,188 --> 00:01:49,988 Speaker 1: you know, no one feels worse than I did last year. 49 00:01:50,668 --> 00:01:52,788 Speaker 1: But we had a great opportunity to come back this offseason, 50 00:01:52,908 --> 00:01:55,708 Speaker 1: put on put in all this work, another chance to 51 00:01:55,708 --> 00:01:56,428 Speaker 1: go play football. 52 00:01:56,668 --> 00:01:58,708 Speaker 2: We got an opportunity to talk to your head coach 53 00:01:58,748 --> 00:02:01,588 Speaker 2: today and always an enlightening conversation when you talk to 54 00:02:01,668 --> 00:02:07,388 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, What are some you know, Justice says, take 55 00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:18,388 Speaker 2: my microphone saying after practice as all nice, it's justin's face, Carol, 56 00:02:18,628 --> 00:02:19,468 Speaker 2: you want us to ask. 57 00:02:19,388 --> 00:02:20,308 Speaker 1: This person a question. 58 00:02:20,428 --> 00:02:28,668 Speaker 2: Instead, we spoke with Jim Harbaugh and he's just so 59 00:02:29,028 --> 00:02:31,148 Speaker 2: high on what you bring to the team. But I 60 00:02:31,188 --> 00:02:35,428 Speaker 2: am wondering about how you yourself have changed the way 61 00:02:35,468 --> 00:02:37,508 Speaker 2: you've tried to push your teammates. You know, you're trying 62 00:02:37,548 --> 00:02:40,028 Speaker 2: to get everybody lifted to a point of a playoff win, 63 00:02:40,188 --> 00:02:42,748 Speaker 2: of pushing into the playoffs. How have you maybe changed 64 00:02:42,748 --> 00:02:45,268 Speaker 2: the way that you are approaching your teammates to make 65 00:02:45,268 --> 00:02:47,908 Speaker 2: sure that you guys are the new standard in the league. 66 00:02:48,068 --> 00:02:49,788 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it starts with what we did last year. 67 00:02:49,788 --> 00:02:50,868 Speaker 1: You know, I thought we did a lot of great 68 00:02:50,868 --> 00:02:53,188 Speaker 1: things last year. And you know, there's still so much 69 00:02:53,228 --> 00:02:55,788 Speaker 1: room for improvement for us and especially me at quarterback 70 00:02:55,828 --> 00:02:58,068 Speaker 1: and everything that I can do offensively, and having a 71 00:02:58,068 --> 00:03:00,908 Speaker 1: second year in this offense, you know, we're already steps 72 00:03:00,908 --> 00:03:02,628 Speaker 1: ahead of where we were last year, and now it's 73 00:03:02,668 --> 00:03:05,068 Speaker 1: just fine tuning that, really understanding exact actually what Greg 74 00:03:05,148 --> 00:03:07,708 Speaker 1: Roland wants when he calls a certain play. And I 75 00:03:07,748 --> 00:03:09,468 Speaker 1: think we've done a great job of that in OTAs 76 00:03:09,508 --> 00:03:12,108 Speaker 1: and heading into camp so far, it's just building off 77 00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:12,268 Speaker 1: of that. 78 00:03:12,548 --> 00:03:14,108 Speaker 3: Just so, what are your goals? What are your goals 79 00:03:14,148 --> 00:03:17,308 Speaker 3: for this year? Because I'm pushing with GMFB, we just 80 00:03:17,308 --> 00:03:19,548 Speaker 3: had a segment yesterday Orre, I'm pushing for you as 81 00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:21,708 Speaker 3: a candidate to be the MVP. That's how much of 82 00:03:21,708 --> 00:03:24,028 Speaker 3: a fan I am of Justin Herbert. But what are 83 00:03:24,108 --> 00:03:26,348 Speaker 3: your goals personally going into this year? 84 00:03:26,468 --> 00:03:29,228 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've always tried to stay away from statistical goals. 85 00:03:29,268 --> 00:03:31,788 Speaker 1: You know, I think if you want to include wins, 86 00:03:31,828 --> 00:03:33,828 Speaker 1: I think wins are our number one priority, winning as 87 00:03:33,828 --> 00:03:36,268 Speaker 1: many games as we can and scoring touchdowns. And if 88 00:03:36,308 --> 00:03:38,028 Speaker 1: we're doing that as an offense, and if I'm doing 89 00:03:38,028 --> 00:03:39,628 Speaker 1: that as a quarterback, then we're gonna have a lot 90 00:03:39,668 --> 00:03:43,628 Speaker 1: of success. You know, whether it's passing yards, you know, touchdowns, completions, 91 00:03:44,388 --> 00:03:46,188 Speaker 1: you know, it really just comes down to wins and 92 00:03:46,228 --> 00:03:47,028 Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns. 93 00:03:47,028 --> 00:03:50,028 Speaker 2: We were marveling at the sheer size of the line 94 00:03:50,308 --> 00:03:53,508 Speaker 2: on both sides the ball during practice. Is this the 95 00:03:53,508 --> 00:03:55,868 Speaker 2: most proud you've been of the group in front of you? 96 00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:57,788 Speaker 2: Maybe just from the fact that you're like, I got 97 00:03:57,788 --> 00:03:59,188 Speaker 2: some guys that are going to protect me. 98 00:03:59,428 --> 00:04:01,788 Speaker 1: Yeah, they've done such a great job. And what makes 99 00:04:01,788 --> 00:04:03,948 Speaker 1: it even better is they're great guys, you know, hanging 100 00:04:03,988 --> 00:04:06,148 Speaker 1: out and out offensive line room. Uh, you know, they're 101 00:04:06,188 --> 00:04:08,868 Speaker 1: they're they're really close. You know, they communicate really well. 102 00:04:09,268 --> 00:04:11,268 Speaker 1: Bose the scene every single front that there is the 103 00:04:11,308 --> 00:04:14,188 Speaker 1: see and I just feel comfortable back there. You know, 104 00:04:14,268 --> 00:04:15,788 Speaker 1: I have a really tough time see over the right 105 00:04:15,828 --> 00:04:19,308 Speaker 1: side of all. That's a good problem to have though. 106 00:04:19,348 --> 00:04:22,268 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well we'll ended off talking about your head coach. 107 00:04:22,308 --> 00:04:25,268 Speaker 3: He loves you.
