1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: On a three point win. Let's start with the negative. Obviously, 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of focus on the Kibbots. That usual 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: why it's not. 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: A terrible player, But over kind, what was your. 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: Assessment about overall? 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 3: The offensive line didn't play good enough as a whole. 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 3: Mckivots and Burford, Jake, Banks and Trent everybody could have 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 3: played a lot better. So as a hole we need 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 3: to play better. Obviously we did enough thing as well 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 3: to have some production on offense, but it's not to 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 3: the standard that the guys want to play to, and 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 3: we play against a good front on the road and 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 3: the game got the way he got. But it's still 14 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 3: our guys. We have to play. We have to play 15 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: a higher level and play better. And first game of 16 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 3: the year, you don't until you get out there how 17 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 3: you're going to be. So we obviously have to play 18 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 3: a little bit more consistently is the key. There were 19 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 3: some really good snaps, there's some really good things. There's 20 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 3: times where all of them were playing at a very 21 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 3: high level. There's other times where each guy would take 22 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: their turn and have just a little bit off, you know, 23 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 3: some more than others. But at the end of the day, 24 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: it wasn't a consistent enough performance by the offensive line. 25 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: Colton, When you go out to practice for the first 26 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: time on Wednesday, what are the points of emphasis for him? 27 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: Same things as always. There's no change. There's no change, 28 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: nothing's changed. So same reason you get beat on Sundays, 29 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 3: the same reason you get beat on in August, the 30 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 3: same reason you get beat in April. They're all the 31 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: same things. There's no there's no oh, oh gosh, this happened. 32 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 3: Now we'll fix this now, it's the same points of emphasis. 33 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: And during the course of a game, a guy can 34 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: fall back off and h and fall back into bad habits, 35 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: or a guy can, uh, just in the course of 36 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: a game loose sight of it. He seems to set 37 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 3: a little bit deeper or set a little bit wider, 38 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 3: or he's pulling back his outside hand too quickly. Whatever, 39 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: there's a there's one hundred different things, but it's no 40 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: different than you just look said, this is what's wrong. 41 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: And it's that simple. 42 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: It's it's simple, but it's not easy to do and 43 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: to perform when you're in the heat of battle against 44 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: a great rush or silent count all the things that 45 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: went into the game, but no excuses. 46 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: That's what we have to do. 47 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: We'll be doing it this week, and we'll do it 48 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: every week for the next seventeen hire man weeks are left, 49 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: and if we get to play after that, then we'll 50 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: have to do it then. So but really there's nothing 51 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: like there's no oh hey cool, now we'll go out 52 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: and now that will never happen again. Shoot, no, it's 53 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: going to happen again. The same things that when Trent 54 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: struggles with something, it's the same stuff. It's it's all 55 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: the same. It's very rare that a guy stops having 56 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: whatever that whatever his achilles heel is bad analogy after 57 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 3: the Monday night game. But whatever that is, that guy 58 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: definitely you have to it's going to kind of stick 59 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: around for his whole career. 60 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: It's hard to finally put it to bed. 61 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: You're always going to have something in you that that 62 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: you have to continue to address and sometimes new things 63 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: crop up, though, is what. 64 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: The mistakes that he made were. The easy fixes are 65 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: the difficult faces. 66 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: You know, they're they're all They're all the typical when 67 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: a guy runs around the corner on you, there's you. 68 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: There's a lot of different reasons for it. Sometimes it's 69 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: because you don't sit deep enough. Sometimes it's because you 70 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: lean at the point of contact. Sometimes it's because you 71 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 3: don't use your outside hand properly. Sometimes it's because you 72 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 3: you do something with your footwork sometimes that you reach 73 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: across with your inside hand to I mean, I could 74 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: go down a list of fifteen things, twenty things that 75 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: that all of them could lead to a guy turning 76 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: the corner and spinning at the top and getting getting 77 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: the pressures that he got from that, which is how 78 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: he rushed the which is what you work on, which 79 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 3: is really hard to replicate during the week. But as 80 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: the game goes on, you would hope that it would 81 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: get better, and it just didn't. It didn't get We 82 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 3: just didn't make those steps during the game that you 83 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: hope to make. But a great learning experience for him 84 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: and for our team, and obviously it's got to be 85 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: better and we'll keep working to make it better. 86 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, over the last four years, eight times or 87 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: nine times, you've seen him? 88 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 4: How many different places that you've seen him? 89 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: Every spot, all five spots I've seen him. I've seen 90 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 3: him even saw him off the ball. I think at 91 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: one point in our game a couple of years ago 92 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: when Mack was here. We were looking at it the 93 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 3: other day. But I've seen him on all five spots 94 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: across the line, and they just put him in a 95 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: position where they think they can get him in a 96 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: one on one matchup without somebody helping trying to create 97 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: one on one rushes for him, and you se him 98 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: everywhere everbody's gonna see him. 99 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: I I think he'll. 100 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: Favor our right side, and based on how we set 101 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: things up too, because they they kind of know what 102 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: we're trying to do to them, so when we show 103 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: a certain formation, they may put him somewhere else thinking 104 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: that's where the one. 105 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: On one is going to be. 106 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: Nineteen when Debo got here, those kind of when Kyle 107 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: John shifted more receivers, and particularly as it relates to 108 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: the run game, how have you seen that commitment to 109 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: getting physical guys, especially on the edges in the run game. 110 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I know one thing in this offense 111 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: since I was involved in twenty ten with coach Shanahan 112 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 3: and Washington, is that receivers are required to block. Receivers 113 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: are required to be physical. Receivers are required to be 114 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: the guy that is a that they're not going to 115 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 3: be say well, that's acceptable. Everybody blocks everybody. Everybody's held 116 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: to Iice center, and he takes all eleven guys to 117 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: run the football. And if we don't have all eleven 118 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: doing it, we're not gonna be a EFFECTI running the ball. 119 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: That's always been the expectation here. So the physicality and 120 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: the blocking, I think those guys have done a phenomenal 121 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: job as far as the physicality and running. We're drafting 122 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 3: receivers to be receivers if they happen to be Deebo Samuel, 123 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 3: who's a running back and receiver whatever he's called himself 124 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: the wide back or something like that, but he is 125 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: a tremendous at both. 126 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: And we've got physical guys. 127 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: Whether that's the I don't I think if you asked Kyle, 128 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 3: I'm not sure he'd say that's the mold that we're 129 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: trying to fit guys into. We're gonna go get good 130 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: receivers and then whatever they can do from there, they'll 131 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: do them. 132 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 4: Setting it to guys like Debo and Juwan, you know 133 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 4: when when other younger guys come in where they're setting 134 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 4: it tall. 135 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: Though, in terms of absolutely our guys are asked to 136 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: block linebackers on a lot of plays and and uh 137 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: and because of that, they're not They don't turn it down. 138 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: They do a nice job. It's a challenge for him too. 139 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: They've blocked defensive ends in our Toss Crack game and 140 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: they take it as a challenge and they work really hard. 141 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: To do it, and I'm very proud of the way 142 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: they execute it. 143 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 3: So yeah, it shows the other guys that, well, if 144 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 3: Debo's doing it, if I was doing it, if JJ 145 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 3: is doing it, then I need to do it. 146 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: So Brandall yesterday he said that what makes Donald so 147 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: hard to block is that he's small, but strong and fast, 148 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: so he doesn't give you a big target. You guys 149 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: have had some success against him. How would you describe him? 150 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: What makes him the special player that he is? 151 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: In your Jake nailed it. 152 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: I mean he's he's a guy that's by no means uh, 153 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: you know, he's just he's hard to get your hands on, 154 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 3: which that's the key to protection. If you can get 155 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: your hands on a guy and keep mona guy. Have 156 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: a guy like Alden Smith who is tall and linear 157 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: and slippery, you just could never get your hands on him. 158 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: Right this guy's shorter and stock, you're and hard to 159 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: get your hands on. What's funny is you can put 160 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 3: together a highlight reel of some players that you probably 161 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: wouldn't know who they were blocking him at times because 162 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: when you do the right things against Aaron, he is 163 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 3: a smaller guy, but getting your hands to that spot 164 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: are almost impossible, and he makes it impossible to do it. 165 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: Even when you do, he has the counter moves to 166 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 3: take it off of him. So he's just got a 167 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: complete package. There's just not a lot of surface to hit, 168 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: and he's so strong and sol o to the ground 169 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 3: that once he gets an edge, once he gets something 170 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: on you, you don't recover from it. 171 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: It's over. 172 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: It's over when it's over, and so you've got to 173 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: make sure you make it not be over as long 174 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: as it can be. 175 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, guys,
