Speaker 3: Thank you, Thank you for having us.

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Both of you guys are new faces to the forty

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: nine ers at fifty three man roster. How have the

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: faithful already embraced you five weeks into the season.

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you really see it in the

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 4: home games and stuff when we go out for warm ups,

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 4: just how excited and crazy all the fans are so

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 4: obviously I'm from the area, so I've just gotten as

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 4: soon as I figured out that I made the fifty three,

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 4: I got, you know, fifty hundred texts just like so

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 4: fired up for me.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: So I was really excited about it.

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 5: I mean, you always see the people waiting outside the

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 5: gates here for autographs or just to see us, you know,

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 5: and that goes a long way. It speaks to the

21
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 5: the level of dedication that the faith will have for

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 5: us as players, and we do appreciate that.

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: So especially for you, Jake, being a Bay Area native.

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything you've seen on game day that is

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: a very uniquely Bay Area?

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I think some of the music they play

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: just in pregame warm ups and stuff, it's a lot

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 4: of Bay Area music and stuff like that. And when

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: I was at Cal, they played a lot of the

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: same stuff. So I certainly think that, you know, football

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: fans in the Bay Area are extremely passionate, especially when

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: you're winning games. So, I mean, it's been a great

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 4: experience so far.

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't always happen this way, but your Los Gatto's

35
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: product played at Cal. Now you get to play for

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: your pro career here.

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: In the Bay. Like, what's that like for your family?

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean my mom has just been so excited

39
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: every step of the way, because I mean I left

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: for a year and went to Chicago. She was so

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: and then I got signed back here and my mom

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: was just you know, over the moon because she got

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: to get to see more.

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: So who was the first person you called when you've

45
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: foud out you made that fifty three?

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: I think I called my dad and he was with

47
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: my mom, So they were just they were over the

48
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: moon and they texted all their friends and you know,

49
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: all my all my friends, dads and families and stuff,

50
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: and everyone.

51
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: Was just super excited.

52
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the spot here because you

53
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: did grow up a Cincinnati Bengals fan. But since you've

54
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: made the fifty three, how many of your family members

55
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: have you converted?

56
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think everyone in the immediate family.

57
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: I've converted my brother. I'm still working on a little

58
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: bit because he's a pretty passionate, you know, Cincinnati Bengals fan.

59
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: So we're still working on him.

60
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: But he obviously supports me, and he's met all the

61
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 4: guys and stuff, so he's he's really rooting for the

62
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: tight end room and he's just wishing the best for us.

63
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: So he's a tough cookie.

64
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: He's though, like he doesn't know anyone on the Bengals.

65
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: That's true, that's true. That No, he we're working on him.

66
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: We're working on.

67
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: Him, chipping away, all right.

68
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: Eric, you're a Drake alum played in Iowa at the

69
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: same time as George Kittle, were also in the same

70
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: draft class. Did you have any relationship with him prior

71
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: to coming here.

72
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, we we met a few times, like through

73
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 5: the draft process. I met at the Combine a little

74
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: bit Uh, we kind of just stayed in touch. We'd

75
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: game together every now and then, we'd meet up in

76
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 5: Nashville every now and then, and uh, finally year eight

77
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 5: we're on the same team together. So it's been it's

78
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 5: been cool, just kind of regrouping and you know, becoming

79
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 5: better friends.

80
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: Word gets out that you've signed with the Niners. What's

81
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: the first communication you have with George?

82
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 5: With George, I said, I was coming your way, buddy,

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: can't wait to see you.

84
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: How do you welcome you?

85
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: You know, you know how George is. He's he's almost

86
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: friendly and open guys out there, so with with open arms,

87
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: I would say, he, Uh, he's been great for me,

88
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: he's been great. I think Jake kind of speak said

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: the same thing for everyone in the room. You know,

90
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 5: he he just embraces you and and helps you and

91
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 5: is all you can ask for in a teammate.

92
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: Both of you have spent time with other organizations. How

93
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: does the culture and just overall feel of this team

94
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: and tight end room compared to the others you've been

95
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: part of.

96
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 4: I would say, I mean our tight end room, we like,

97
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: we have a lot of fun together and we.

98
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: All get along extremely well.

99
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: And coach Flurry is very detail oriented and we get

100
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: all of our work done. But I mean, I've said

101
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: it before and like this training camp for me, and

102
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: like this OTA is leading up to training camp has been.

103
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: The most fun I've had in a tight end room.

104
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: So I'm super appreciative of that.

105
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would echo that this room is great just

106
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 5: to be in, right. We we do have great times,

107
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: but we also work. You know, it's a room of

108
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 5: grinders and everyone gets what we're trying to do, what

109
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 5: we're trying to accomplish. So I think that combination just

110
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 5: makes it a special room as a whole.

111
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: How do you strike that balance right taking care of

112
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: business on the field, but then you've got a personality

113
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: like George Kittle always bring a little fun to the room.

114
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think it's pretty you know, like

115
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 4: if you have a bad day out there at practice

116
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: or something's pretty evid what needs to be fixed, and

117
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: I guess, you know, it's just us supporting each other

118
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: and you know, through mistakes we've made, pushing each other

119
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: to be better. And I think that's something that we

120
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 4: did extremely well for each other.

121
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: Dur in training camp, Eric, You've made a name for

122
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: yourself in part because of your blocking abilities.

123
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: When did you hone in on that part of your

124
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: skill set?

125
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 5: I always say that's something that we're always working on.

126
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: It's really hard to do at the NFL level. I

127
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 5: got to give credit to, you know, previous coaches, the

128
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 5: coaches here, George I had a mentor in Logan Paulson,

129
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: who actually played for the forty nine ers a couple

130
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: of years back. So a lot of people. It's been

131
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 5: a culmination of a lot of things. But like I said,

132
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: we're always continually continuously improving on that because if you

133
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 5: think you've got to figure it out, someone will humble

134
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: you real quick. Like the guys on our defense, they're

135
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 5: really difficult to block. And you could have you know,

136
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: quote unquote perfect technique, but they'll expose you. So you

137
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: just got to figure out ways to adapt and keep growing.

138
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 5: And that's got to be the mindset.

139
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: One of the things Kittle always says is it's very

140
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: fun to pancake successfully pancake block somebody. Do you have

141
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: a celebration for when you're able to do that?

142
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm just like a big like you'll

143
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 5: see me on a film. I'll hit it like a

144
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 5: flex of me now and then if I'm happy about

145
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: the play. I'm not super outspoken, but just your standard,

146
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 5: you know, getting really happy with my teammates.

147
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Jake, for you, you really showed off your past

148
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: catching abilities during the preseason nine for nine, caught every

149
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: ball throw in your way. How were you able to

150
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: build that chemistry with Brock over the summer.

151
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I we really did get it.

152
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: You know, he was here for for all of OTA's

153
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 4: which was really nice. So I mean we've just you know,

154
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: run a lot of routes, thrown a lot of balls,

155
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: and you know, I just always want to focus on

156
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: catching everything that gets thrown my way, just so the

157
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: quarterbacks trust me and they feel like it's kind of

158
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: like a safety net they can come back to if

159
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: they're ever in trouble or anything like that.

160
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: So, off the field, have there been any unique tight

161
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: end bonding experiences you guys have been a part of.

162
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, we Uh, George took us to Jelly Roll concert.

163
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: That was really nice. I think that was like right

164
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: after training camp or right right after training camp.

165
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: We had a little time off.

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: So George always does a really good job of you know,

167
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: getting us together, whether at his house or at a

168
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: concert or doing something, and so I was really appreciative

169
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: of that, and it was.

170
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: A lot of fun.

171
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: So and he's good friends with Jelly Roll, so we

172
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: got to meet him and hang out with him.

173
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: I think they lived near each other or something in Nashville.

174
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: But it was a lot of fun.

175
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 5: Tight End. He was always fun.

176
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I missed it this year.

177
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: I went last year twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three.

178
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 5: It was a great time and is kind of the

179
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: spear ahead of that as well.

180
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: So, yeah, George, he was a little upset with me

181
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: that I didn't go this year.

182
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: But what is the meeting of the minds that happens

183
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: at tight End? Do you like what trade secrets get

184
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: shared or like, what's the best.

185
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: Part of it?

186
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the best part is, you know,

187
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: getting to meet other guys and tight ends that you're

188
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: just kind of building your network, right, And then you

189
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: also have like guys you've you know when I was there,

190
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: like you know, Rob Gronkowski was there, and all these

191
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: guys you grew up watching and you get to hear

192
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 4: them talk about, you know, how they see things, And

193
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: I thought it was it was super beneficial.

194
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, exactly the same. I think for me seeing

195
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: teammates I've played with, you know, in the past, and

196
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: learning from guys like legends like that, you know, Rob Rucossi,

197
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 5: Greg Olson, it's invaluable in an experience like you wouldn't

198
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 5: get it any other time. So it's really cool that

199
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 5: he does that.

200
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: Obviously, select group of quarterbacks get invited to tight End You.

201
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: Is there anyone that you didn't expect to be catching

202
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: a pass from?

203
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 5: Josh Allen? Was there less too?

204
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Josh Allen was there the year I went.

205
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 4: That was surprising, But then I think everyone else was

206
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: Niners quarterbacks for.

207
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: The most part.

208
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: That makes sense.

209
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 4: It wasn't Brandon Allen, Brandon Allen can this year was

210
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 4: Josh there, Dobbs Doves.

211
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 5: Who's not there?

212
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know there's a headliner for tight End You

213
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: at the end when it all wraps up. Do you

214
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: have a dream headliner you hope to see at a

215
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: future tight End University?

216
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: I had, like a performer artists.

217
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: I think travs should bring Taylor Swift.

218
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that seems like the logical, logical conclusion,

219
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: but uh, I don't know. Just some of those you know,

220
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: country artists out there, maybe like Cody Johnson or something

221
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 4: like that.

222
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,959

00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: I think I got that when I was like nineteen.

260
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: My favorite tattoo, though, I've got a wolf on my forearm.

261
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 5: It's all been done by the same guy. Shout out

262
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 5: Stanny from Atlanta. But yeah, I know the wolf is sick.

263
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: I got an angel on her.

264
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: He has an affinity for wolves.

265
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 5: I have heard that he always makes fun.

266
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: Of me for your spirit.

267
00:11:59,679 --> 00:11:59,880

00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: When did you decide that?

269
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: I mean he had to be at a young age,

270
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: long ago, long ago. He also has a husky, which

271
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,720

272
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Jake, what is your spirit animal?

273
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,439

274
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: very resourceful, good with his hand, you know, building things, grinder.

275
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: You know, a beaver can take down an entire habitat,

276
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 4: you know, with the dam it can really change the ecosystem.

277
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,840
