WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we had we had were the second time we

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>were on the play. The other time Jordan caught it

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and ran the ball kind of bounced down to like

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the five, and then we scored the next player on

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a sweep after that. So it was it was just

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 1>the same same play call. We had called it once

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and we're successful on it, and I felt like if

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>we got over midfield that I was gonna call it again.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Arguing for Jordan, Matthews has had so many jobs this year.

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>He's been really hard on him fu himself, especially after

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>that Carol M. I'm extremely happy for I'm like, I'm

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>happy for everybody though. I think it was a team

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>victory and um, I got a full confidence in Jordan.

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>So you know the great part about Jordan's he don't

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to it either, just like we talk about

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's been great. You know. I think if you

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>have a work ethic like he has, your work ethic

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>will help you get out of a slump. And he

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 1>did a great job. What do you think anybody offensive line? Uh,

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought they did a good job. Obviously,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>when you're down, Jason and we had to shuffle some

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>guys over Lane's first time playing on the left side. Um,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you know Dennis Kelly and the first time to start

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>for US since we've been here. Um out at tackle.

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, he had started for US at guard last year.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But I thought those guys did a really nice job

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>against a formidable front. We knew that going in that

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be a heck of the match up for US.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>You seem like a real up and down game, a

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of consistencies. Yeah, good football team. Um, we knew

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>going in it was going to be a battle. You know.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those deals where I don't think

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you could compare for prepare for everything. Um, playing at Dome,

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>we had a win. It rained on us. Uh, some

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>things that you didn't think would happen when you played

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the Dome. But you know, Caleb that it was a

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit more difficult kicking that way. So that that

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>kick he kicked for us, the fifty two or fifty

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>three yard or into a little bit of a breeze,

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>there was a win down there a little bit. So Um.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, then you see it at the end of

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the end of the game. Um, they go out for

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a field goal, it hits the upright. Usually when it

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>hits the upright, it doesn't go in. You know, it

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>hit the upright, came down in. Um. So it was

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>just kind of one of those games. But um, our

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>guys battle. They battled right to the to the last

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and uh, proud of them. I think they had a

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>great week. We talked about it. They had a really

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>good week this week, as good as we've had around here. Uh.

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>And it showed in our play tonight that obviously last

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>week was a little bit better than the week before.

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I think Sam is continuing to improve. Um. I thought

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>he was really accurate in his throws today. UM you know,

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>put the ball on guys in the right spot. You know,

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you look at the play with Jordan. It was a

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>heck of a throw. He threw it before the guy

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>fell down and then but it gave Jordan an opportunity

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to catch and run. You know, sometimes those throws if

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>they're not accurate and it's a tough route to kind

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of time up. You know, you may catch it and

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you know kind of turn around and you get a

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you got a good game, but you don't have a

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>chance to have a great game. And what you know,

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>so he gave Jordan an opportunity to run and get

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it in. So it's like we light on Sam Bore.

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>The longer the game, when you gaining more and more confidence,

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I've always had confidence in Sam. I just like it's

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>how the game played out. I thought we were pretty

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>balanced in terms of being able to run the ball

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>um and then once we kind of got moving, we

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of long drivees. There were a lot

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>of long fields for us. We didn't start. I don't

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>think we had any, you know, obviously, because they're so

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>good in the return. I mean in the kick game,

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have any kick returns. We didn't have any

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>punt return so there's there wasn't a real flip in

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the field. And then the one turnover we had that

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>we created, thank god, Jordan Hicks had actually brought it

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>all the way back for our score. So it wasn't

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>like we got to turn over and had a short

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>field or we had um, you know, a return that

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>gave us a short field. We had long fields to

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>go um. So on all of our drives, we we

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>had to kind of pound it out, and I think

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>we were pretty balanced in terms of doing that. So

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the first time again, I think we just executed and

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>blocked up front. You know, I thought, I'll give our

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>guys up front that did a heck of a job

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and um, now that was the challenge for him going in.

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought they handled their their defensive front for the

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>most part. You know, it's a very formidable front. They

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>actually had some new guys that we didn't face the

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>last time. I face you know, Hardy for the first time,

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>greg Uh Gregory for the first time. Um. But it

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>was you know, I really proud about how those guys played,

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>especially with you know, Lane bumping over and Dennis getting

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>his first started right tackle. So on the fourth down there,

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>did you think about not doing that a refunding the

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>report all the way? No, I mean I thought we

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>were gonna get it, so we were gonna go for it.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>On the final Cowboys drive, What did you think of

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that pass interference call? They made it? That's what I thought, Well,

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>what was range? He was kind of right on his

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>edge that way because there was a wind coming um

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that way. He probably had a little bit more going

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the other way, but he was really right on edge

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of what we could kick. We're stuck with him. After

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>early struggles, team talk about all he's the only kicker

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>we have so it wasn't like I was gonna bring

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>another kicker in. So for a team that has struggled

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>before the byether win like this after the bye, going

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch here, what can a win like this

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>do for this team? It's it's the same thing I

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>told him, the same thing I told him after Carolina game.

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>One down, one to go, and the same thing, the

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>same message in there. One down, one to go, we're

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna get back. We're gonna get back late. They have

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow off when we come back Tuesday, and we got

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to really start a good week of preparation for Miami.

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>We actually, um, someone told I don't know if it's true.

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna actually check where we actually were. We may

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>be able. We may have a game at one o'clock

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>on a Sunday. So um, our guys are kind of

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 1>excited about that. But you carry over into it, it

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>means absolutely nothing because you lose next week and it

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't carry over, So we don't talk about that, like, hey,

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 1>we had a good game last week, let's just ride

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the way. We got to come back, go to work

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>on Tuesday. So there's something about Sam you can only

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>learn and anything those those late game situations over time situations. No.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean I know Sam, and I got total confidence Sam.

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I've always had total confidence in Sam. So I didn't

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>learn anything new today about saying there was always something

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>about Murray in the passing game that he felt that

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of. We just some of the matchups with

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>the linebackers, and after Sean Lee went out, you know,

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>we thought we could exploit that and that's what we did.

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you see this as kind of game A man,

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't really concern. We're just trying to get wins

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>each week and then we'll figure out. We'll pick our

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>heads up and after that last game against the Giants

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to see if we're going enough games. But I've never

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>had a conversation with our guys about East NFC out

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of division. I mean, if that's the case, then we

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't even show up this week because it's an AFC opponent.

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>So we don't care, right, I mean, that's not our mentality.

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Our mentality is every single week we got to go

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>out and play and at the end, do we have

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>enough wins that are good enough to get us into

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, And if it is, it's okay. But we

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>never talk about who the opponent is and how this

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>game is more important than that game. Every single game

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>is important when it comes down to it. First, Apple,

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>what's the thinking in terms to the block management they're

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to get out of their end. I know they

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of time out, so if we didn't

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>get a first down there early, you know, all of

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, we're gonna turn the ball over and they

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity to go down to score. And then

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>they're getting the ball at the beginning of the second

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 1>half too, so you've got you're in that two score situation.

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure we could at least get

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it out of our end, not be able to give

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it back over to them, because they do have a

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>kicker that that's you know, got ranged close to sixty

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>so um, you know anything in terms of turning the

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>ball over, they just didn't want to make a mistake.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>We're content to go in a half time at seven seven.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea less. I want balanced, you guys,

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>there's most balance we work tonight. So that's
