1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Why receiver like Juwan twitch his positions midway through the season.

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: What's the challenge for you when it's a different person

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: playing spot where you had a good chemistry with the

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: former player. What do you have to do with those instances?

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, I don't think really much. I think

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: just when it comes like man coverage and stuff and

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: how you know BA moves compared to JJ, Like, those

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: are some things that are a little different. But I

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: think JJ's you know, frame and playing X receiver like

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: he fits the mold pretty well and he's done a

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: great job of going in there and and doing everything

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: that we ask of him within our offense, just like BA.

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: But obviously I think they're slightly different just how they

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 3: run and everything. So I guess that. But outside of that,

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: I think we do, you know, scheme up plays that

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: are similar to what you know he was doing at

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: the F position, and so I don't know. I think regardless,

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: JJ's a competitor and anytime you know, he's in a

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: one on one matchup, I can always give him a

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: shot and a chance and he comes down with it.

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 3: So I guess maybe that So.

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: How like he hit that one where he caught it,

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: they double caught it, the defender almost caught it. That's

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: the fact that he'll go get it for you, He'll

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: fight for it.

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: I mean, how much do.

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: You love that? Yeah?

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: I mean as a quarterback to know, you know, if

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: it's not always a perfect situation, but you have complete

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: trust and the guy that you know is going to

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 3: fight to the end of the whistle and do everything

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: he can, obviously for the team and for the ball itself.

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: Like JJ's done that. He's time and time again, has

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: fought to the end and when he catches the ball

35
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: it gets more yards, or when the ball is up

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: in the air doing what he can to come down

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: with it or make sure the defender doesn't get it.

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: So as a quarterback man, I got complete trust in

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: him and he's done that over and over again.

40
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: So love playing with him.

41
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: Well said that it was you, Demo and Kittle. It

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: spoke to the team where things just clicked.

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Do you still feel that same clicking going on, the

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: consistency that was sparked ahead of the last game flowing

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: into this game on a short week.

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean it's our first day back,

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: you know today, But I think just the mood within

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: meetings and in passing and we'll see here at practice.

49
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: But it's you know, I feel like we do, you know,

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: have some momentum right now, but we definitely got to

51
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: continue to earn that over and over again. It's not

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: going to just be a magical thing. We got to

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: put in the work, we got to study, and we

54
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: got to go out and prove it and continue to

55
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: have that. So that's been the case, you know, in

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: the past couple of years, and that's that hasn't changed since.

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: So it's where we're at.

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: Scoring thirty points represent a target mark for every game,

59
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: no matter who you're facing.

60
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously it'd be nice to be able to

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: do that every game, and you know, I don't even

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: know if that's necessarily a goal for ours, but you know,

63
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: our goal is to be the best that we can be,

64
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: and if we are doing that, then that's just the

65
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: result that comes from it. So I think, I don't

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: know really what our record is when we do score

67
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 3: over thirty, but you know, for us, you know, it's

68
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: how can we put the best tape out there for

69
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: ourselves and feel good about us playing together as a team,

70
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: and then when we look at the scoreboard. In those situations,

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: it's usually good like that.

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: So thought process on the deep past to Derndo, you

73
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: were under center, it looked like there was a switch

74
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: to the line. He went back into shotgun and then

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Isaac obviously got past the linebacker. So I was just

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: curious what you saw at the line of scrimmage on

77
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: that play.

78
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just got into a play where basically JJ

79
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: and Isaac were in one on one situations and I

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: liked really just the match up with him on a

81
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: backer and then he slipped him inside and went Obviously

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: there was a guy in my face, so I sort

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: of had to, you know, throw it up pretty early,

84
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: similar to like the Tampa Bay one with Christian, so

85
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: similar route there.

86
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: But that's just what happened.

87
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: I put the ball up and he went under and

88
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 3: got it, and it was a big game man to

89
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: man coverage, and it was a situation that we wanted

90
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: to be in.

91
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: So a lot of you guys have talked about just

92
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: kind of the desperation that you need to have here.

93
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: How different does it feel when we're in this situation

94
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: as opposed to the previous years. Not that you didn't

95
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: want to win every game, but where.

96
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: You need to win every game.

97
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's it just comes back to,

98
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: you know, competing and you know, the last couple of years,

99
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: all we all we cared about was just week by week.

100
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: We didn't care about where we were at going into

101
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: the whole playoff thing. We wanted to get in. We

102
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: wanted to win our division and what that took was

103
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: to win every single week. And uh, you know, worth

104
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: where we're at now, it can't be what is the

105
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: end going to look like?

106
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: It has to be.

107
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: We have to take care of business today and then

108
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: tomorrow and then when the game comes, take care of

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: each play and drive and quarter. It's just being in

110
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: the moment man, and not looking too far ahead. And

111
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: so with that comes, you know, playing together as a

112
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: team and playing desperate because we don't have room to

113
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: lose or anything like that.

114
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 2: So it's just where we're at. Put on the tape

115
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: from from Sunday. Could you see that desperation. Yeah, yeah,

116
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: you could feel it, you know, definitely.

117
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: I think just across the board as a team, everybody

118
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: had just another you know, bit more of sense of urgency.

119
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: And I think we executed and played together as a

120
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: team man and and we didn't let off and so

121
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: I really like that. But you know that was last week,

122
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: so now it's onto this week, and how can we

123
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: do that again?

124
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: Adjustment is it for you to have a new starting

125
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: running back? Could have a fourth this week? You've already

126
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: had three and they're all different past blockers and catchers.

127
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: So what kind of adjustment do you have to make?

128
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I think our you know, our

129
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: offensive line has done a great job with just doing

130
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 3: their part in the run game. And then whoever's carrying

131
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: the ball behind you know, it's their job to hit

132
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: the gaps and do their thing. But you know, for me,

133
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: I trust in whoever it is, you know, when it

134
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 3: comes to the run game. And then obviously in the

135
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: past game, I think we have a really smart running

136
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: back room where they know you know where to step

137
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: up and fit into blocks and and they've given me

138
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 3: time and so I trust in all those guys.

139
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: So, uh, there's that.

140
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 3: But you know, I think, you know, not having Christian

141
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: or JP guys with a little bit more experience, you

142
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: know that that could always be a thing. But you know,

143
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: Aasac came in did a great job. Patrick Taylor he's

144
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: had experience. We could obviously have Debo back there as well.

145
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: So like we're you know, I'm very confident in the

146
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: guys that we got, so your.

147
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Progressions and letting that dictate where you go with the

148
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: ball and feeding George Kittle when he's having an All

149
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: Pro season.

150
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, I think you know, just how

151
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: we scheme it up and everything. For me, it's like

152
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: I trust in the game plan, I trust in our guys,

153
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: uh to go and make plays and and I just

154
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: try to take what the defense gives me. I don't

155
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: walk up to the line of scrimmage and a play

156
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: and go I'm gonna go here, here, here, just because

157
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: like there's a reason why I go to a certain

158
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: guy and it's per coverage, and I'm just trying to

159
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 3: get to my answer per play.

160
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: So George just had a great year.

161
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: I think he's done a great job of catching the

162
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: ball and then getting yards after and and uh, you know,

163
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: sparking us in that in that sense.

164
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: But you know, that's sort of just how I go

165
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: about it.

166
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: But definitely when you walk up and you see you know,

167
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: man coverage and situations, that's where they can be like,

168
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: all right, like, I like my my guy here in

169
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: this situation or matchup, and and I'm gonna do what

170
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 3: I can and get in the ball. I think that's

171
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: a little different. But when you're going through progressions against

172
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: zone and things like that, it's it's different. So on

173
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: the back end, they play decent amount of cover six.

174
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: What do you see from their defense?

175
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean I think they they they do

176
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: a lot, to be honest, like just coverages and and

177
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: how they play. They have a lot on tape, which

178
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: you know, as an offense and a quarterback, you know,

179
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: you just got to be on top of your stuff

180
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: per play. Sometimes there's those defenses where you walk up

181
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: and you you know what they're in and uh and

182
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: sort of expects them to do uh certain tendencies throughout

183
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: the game from what you've seen on film. But I

184
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: think these guys do a good job of switching things

185
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: up and and you know, you just got to be

186
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: on top of your stuff. Their front is really good

187
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: and explosive. They've gotten better throughout the year, and uh,

188
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: their secondary, the linebackers, everybody, they all tie together. Man,

189
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: They've they're they're playing the best football that they have,

190
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: uh right now. So huge challenge for.

191
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Us, and Cambier said that they chose you and demo

192
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: because you guys are gritty. We asked Kyle about he said,

193
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: you guys are authentic.

194
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: What was your message to the team Saturday night.

195
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not going to go into complete detail,

196
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: but I do think it was just important for you know,

197
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: our team to hear you know, I guess from a

198
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: guy on defense demo and then myself just what it's

199
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: going to take, you know, moving forward and where what

200
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: our mindset has to be, you know, and and at

201
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: the end of the day, man, just playing desperate football

202
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: with where we're at in the season, and and uh,

203
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: you know, we don't have room for air, Like now's

204
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: the time to to get up and go and to

205
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: create momentum and energy for each other both sides of

206
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: the ball, playing as a team. And I think just

207
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: hearing that from players and having it be player led

208
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: a player led team, it's important, man, It's huge, and

209
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 3: so especially with where we're at. So yeah, that's that's

210
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: what we said.

211
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: Production he's used to in the last month or so.

212
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: He said on social media yesterday. He's not struggling. It's

213
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: just not given me opportunities, it's the quarterback.

214
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: Or captains to talk to him, sir, you know.

215
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: Where his head's at.

216
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Deebo and I talk all the time, and

217
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: he's like one of my best friends on this team.

218
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: Like I absolutely love Debo and what he's done for

219
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: me and helping me out. We talk all the time,

220
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, I think he's right, Like he's he's

221
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: doing great right now with what we ask of him

222
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: in the offense, and he's not struggling or anything. Man,

223
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: It's just it's just like I've said before about you know,

224
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: like guys like Ricky or last year with Ayuk for

225
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: a little bit, Like there's just moments, I guess throughout

226
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: seasons where you know, guys just don't get the ball,

227
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: you know, just depending on like scheme or like what

228
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: the defensive scheme is, and you know, gout them taking

229
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: guys away. So I want to get Debo the ball

230
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: every play if I could. I want to have him

231
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: break all the records as best as possible. I want

232
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: Debo to do Debo things and we all do in

233
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: this building. So it's just how the games have gone.

234
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: But I love my guy and I'm gonna do everything

235
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 3: I can to you know, get him the wall.
