WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan: ‘We’re Ready for the Challenge’ in Week 13 | Press Pass

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Practice today.

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Mason hamstring won't practice, Ray Ray McLeod rib won't practice,

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Eric Armstead foot won't practice.

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Burford knee limited.

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Is Eric's foot injury something similar to what he deal

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 3>with last year?

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure exactly. Yeah, I know it's his foot. Sorry,

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:22.319
<v Speaker 1>how similar it is.

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 4>You don't want it.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 5>To rain today or other provisions you're doing to prepare

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 5>for what might be a.

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 4>Pretty rainy game.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't want it to rain today, and we'll

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 2>deal with whatever happens Sunday, but rather be dry out

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 2>there today, and I don't want to take our team

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 2>in the bubble, so I'm enjoy being outside today.

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you've ben asked about this Cleveland game. Definitely

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 4>seemed to be some slippery stuff for BROP.

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Do you think there's any changes made there, any preparation then, No.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean the web ball is makes it harder than everybody.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I think Brock. I've had some guys who really struggle

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 2>on the rain. I've been through some situations with Brock,

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 2>not just a game, but practice. But I think he's

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>as good as any quarterback I had in rain. He's

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 2>dealt with it a lot at Iowa State, and I

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>don't think there's much practicing and rain to doesn't get

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 2>less slippery.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>So we'll just try to have a fishing one a

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>day and deal with Sunday.

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 4>You make your quarterbacks practice with a web practice.

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>No you it's usually like that from how sweaty guys

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 2>are though.

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Anyways, you practice that just question.

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Might We're gonna do like ten live reps of it today.

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>See we've had anybody left after it.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>No, you don't practice it's to deal with that. It's

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>such a big you just you coach it up and

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>tell them where we want guys and stuff.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on it,

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>but we're gonna talk about it, show it, and do

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 2>as good as we can.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 4>What are the keys to stopping Jalen's he do?

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>You want to try to keep him out of those

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 2>situations first and foremost. I know it's possible to stop,

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's pretty proven that it's extremely hard.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>So you try to keep them out of those situations.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 2>And they do such a good job of balancing everything

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>out with the dropbacks, the play actions, the RPOs, the

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 2>quarterback run game, the regular run game, so it's really

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 2>impossible to stay ahead of them in terms of who

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 2>has the chalk last, and they got a lot of

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 2>answers in their run game and stuff which can put

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.519
<v Speaker 2>him in some pretty good situations.

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>So you got to be able to weather the storm.

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>When they get you.

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Let it be a first down and not a touchdown.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Play very disciplined, very sound, and when you get your

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to make plays, you can't miss them.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Dallas game, being proud you were how they stayed in

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 3>the moment and didn't make it bigger than it was.

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 4>That apply this week too.

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it applies every week, but I think

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 2>it's always tough for when the moment's a lot bigger

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>outside of the building, just because obvious ramifications and the history.

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>But that's the moment is exactly what it is every Sunday,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and you gotta make sure that's reality for our players.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 4>All you guys are the favorites going into this game.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 4>If they're the home team, they they've lost one game,

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 4>but you're the favorites.

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make a lot of sense

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 2>to me, but I don't really know how that stuff works, so.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know why it is random.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 6>You guys had some interesting cornerbacks at the trade deadline.

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 6>Does the way Ambrey has played the last I guess

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 6>three games make you feel any better about what you

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 6>have back there in that situation.

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh, yeah, we just looked at opportunities that were available.

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>But I think Ambrey he's gotten his opportunity here in

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the last month and that he's done a good job

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>throughout all of it. And I think he's gotten better

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>each week. So I've been really happy with him and

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>him being ready for this and how he's improven as

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>he goes about it too.

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 6>I guess a homework of his career is a little inconsistency.

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 6>Like you know, sometimes it was like, well, he's arrived,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, and then maybe it takes a step back.

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Do you see something in him that would suggest maybe

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 6>he's arrived.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I've seen him every day throughout this whole season,

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and I think even going back to training camp in

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>this offseason, I think a lot clicked for him.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's always tough.

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I go back to him a lot his first year

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>when guys get thrown in positions their first year and

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>stuff because injuries and things are not quite ready for

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and then they still have some success. I think it's

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>always a little harder for the reality the next year,

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>and I think he hit that step back. But I

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>thought talking about this last year, he learned so much,

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 2>and you could see him this offseason how improved and

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 2>how much more mature he was in terms of just

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 2>day in and day out and consistent. And I know

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't got all his ops throughout the year, which

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>could be frustrating, but that's what's been so cool about

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>him is he never felt bad for himself or anything.

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 2>He's just kept working like he did in camp, and

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 2>that's why he's a better player each and every week.

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>How much Gamador handles, you know, kind of back and

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 4>forth a little bit, and then you know just the

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 4>way he's kind of accepted that challenge.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't say enough about Demo. I mean, Demo has

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 2>been so good on the outside, and when we asked

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 2>him to go inside, he goes in there. Aaron plays

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 2>the exact same way. Wherever Demo stays at. He always

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>gets really good at it. And we need them in

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>both areas, which puts a lot of stress on them.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 2>But I can't tell you how happy I've been with

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 2>his style. Of play, and I know we've had to

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.679
<v Speaker 2>switch them for some key situations, but he keeps getting

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>better and better at those spots.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Like his reps inside.

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>And out similar as everyone else's.

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you get have the plays at Nickel as

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>a starter in our backup gets about half and so

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>it's probably like four to two.

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 4>So it's such a difficult thing to do. Play outside inside.

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Just totally different positions. One's basically a linebacker, another one's

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 2>a corner, which is and when I say that, I

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>mean one's inside all the time and the other ones

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 2>usually outside. And there's just a lot of different combinations

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you can deal with. I mean, there's nothing different than

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>a nickelback and a linebacker. If we take Juice our

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 2>fullback and in the I formation and we move them

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>out to the slot, you'll watch Dre or Greenlaw go

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:57.679
<v Speaker 2>out with them.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>And that's exactly what a Nicholas.

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 2>If we took Juan and brought them back to the eye,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>then you'd see our nickel playing inside linebacker and so

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>just the gaps and all the run stuff, and it's

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>just a huge difference for them.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.479
<v Speaker 5>Can you go back to last January at all or

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 5>do you just throw out whatever you were doing that

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 5>game plan and.

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 4>Start from scratch.

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>You throw it out and start from scratch.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean you would if it's early in the year,

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>but when you have this much tape, you don't like

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>to watch what they were into last year. Or we're

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>just both different teams, different styles. You evolve all the time,

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and you evolve each week, and I think a lot

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 2>of that stuff can in my history, it hurts you

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 2>more than it helps every challenge. I mean, they're both

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 2>true number one receivers. They're both huge threats on the

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>outside outside of the numbers in every route. They both

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>can run a go route and a comeback. They both

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 2>can run by you. They both can go up for it,

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 2>and when they can do that vertically and drop their hips,

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>that's tough on the outside. And they also can run

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 2>slants and go over the middle. So the two of

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>the better receivers in this league.

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 5>Sure, when you guys lost your quarterback, they ran it

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 5>forty four times that you guys, do you like have

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 5>pushed around a little bit? What do you think about

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 5>the way your defense looks run defense wise on film?

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I think we've I don't think we've done a decent

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>job this year. I think we're ranked wise pretty good.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 2>But I really, I really think we've been going the

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>right direction here these last few weeks, just getting better

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 2>each week. And Philly is as big of a challenge

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>stopping the run as anyone in the league, not just

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>this year but over the last few years. So we're

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>ready for the challenge, excited for the challenge, and it's

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 2>definitely a challenge.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 5>I know you were impressed with Rock from the beginning

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 5>of OTAs.

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 4>Last season and in the training camp, but in scout sessions,

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 4>was there anything that stood out about him?

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 5>Did you like say, Okay, there's something happening here while

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 5>he was running his scout team.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's when guys, I mean the same

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>things that happened when he got three reps in OTAs.

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>It's like you talk about all day, It's like, man,

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 2>those three reps were pretty decisive and good and kept

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>throughout training camp, and then you got him on scout

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 2>team and you're doing other stuff. But at the end

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>of the day, you're like, wow, did you see those

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>couple of players that Brock made on scout team? And

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of how he's so I've it's always been

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the same with them. It was just everyone always players, coaches, personnel,

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>guys like everyone always had good things to say about them.

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>But it was how's it going to be when he

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>gets in the game, And it's been just like it

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>is in practice.

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Last year in the.

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 6>NFC Championship game going back this year, is there any

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 6>management mentally potential trauma?

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Not to be dramatic, but is there any of that

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 4>with him?

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I mean, I'm not no, I

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:34.719
<v Speaker 1>want to think so at all.

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's I think all that stuff for guys when

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 2>have big injuries, I think once I think the first game,

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>the first hit, things like that. They're a little bit

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>vulnerable too with post traumatic stress. But I think once

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 2>you get through that stuff, I think it's over for

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the most part.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Playing Jalen Hurts on scout team.

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>This week, Sam Darnold, Brandon Allen, let think our quarterbacks

0:08:59.040 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>are over?

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Said, yeah too?

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Is Eric arm said? Has he been? He and Hargrave

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 4>played off each other better in these last few weeks too,

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, how has that hand up kind of developed

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 4>over these ten games?

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think they've played really well off each other.

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of what I've been trying to. I know,

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>are our production. Everything's gone up huge with our d line.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of what I just mean by just the

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 2>whole group has been doing really well together. It's never

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 2>just one guy, and it's been one guy a lot

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 2>here and there, all different guys, but all of them collectively,

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:31.839
<v Speaker 2>I feel like out of the top of their game

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>right now. You go through EBB and flows throughout the year,

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like they've been at the top of

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>their game last couple of weeks and get better worse.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully we can get that keep that going.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 4>Specifically about hard Grave, that's kind of jumped out.

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think Hardgrave's I think I think he's

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>been real consistent all year. I thought, you know, I

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 2>think the game he's struggled in the most was the

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati game, and I think that he was a guy

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>who looked like he needed rest more than anyone just

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>at that time. And I think he got that. And

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I think he's looked is every other game since.

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 3>Caris in here for the practice squad. He's got a

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 3>lot of special teams experience. He's been a personal protector

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 3>I think before and is he an option for the

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 3>ODEM spot and now significant loss.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a huge loss. I mean, George is one of

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the leaders on our.

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Team, one of the best players in the league to

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 2>me on special teams, and he gives us great depth

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>of safety because he was the next man up to

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 2>help us out of safety, which already down with Hugh.

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>So who's down special team is a big deal and

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 2>our depth of safety is a big deal. So that's

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 2>stuff we do. Got to be creative with a little bit.

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Everyone does have an opportunity. Hopefully we'll see how his

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>practice week goes to who can help us out on

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>special teams the most and who also do we feel

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with that safety?

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Kids, there's injuries.

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 5>If you score the touchdown, the camera pan to your

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 5>father in the end zone. He looked very pleased. He

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 5>obviously was a great play scheme or play designer. Do

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 5>you lean on him in any official capacity in big

0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 5>games like this to watch film or do anything and

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 5>help you prepare.

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, my dad for a lot more,

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>just not real schematically or anything like that. He he

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>knows how much you got to put into that to

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>give suggestions. I mean, anyone can give a suggestion if

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>they watch one thing and that might be good for

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>that one thing, but oh my god, it's gonna screw

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you for the other things that you watched for three days.

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's he's very careful of that stuff. But he's

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>been through a lot and real close, so I mean,

0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I just I get advice from him on everything.

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Moon.

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.280
<v Speaker 6>He said he was traveling with DK and it was

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 6>your and John Lynch's, you know, suggested to the defensive

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 6>staff that that happened if that attack. Is that unusual

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 6>for John to weigh in on something like that.

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, John and I talk about everything, so it's

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>not really like that. John just knew how I felt

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 2>about something, and he just relaid something to me that

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I heard about, and so I just went and talked

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>about it and fixed it.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Just that he wasn't sure if you were doing it every.

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Time, and which I understood why, and but I just

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>wanted to talk about it, and that's I think.

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>It was overblown a little bit.

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>But I had an opinion on how I wanted to

0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 2>start it out, and so I just shared that with

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>some of the guys and they agreed, and once the

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 2>mooney was on board and made it pretty easy.

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.199
<v Speaker 1>All right, Thanks guys,
