WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan Discusses Preparations for Super Bowl LVIII | Press Pass

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>It's up, guys, am I calling them people.

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Kyle, how's the practice fields? Where the conditions?

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 2>That you could have a normal practice without any adjusting. Yeah,

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>we had a normal practice and we didn't practice there

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the week.

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, we're not going to change our whole schedule.

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.639
<v Speaker 4>We'd have to go too early in the morning, mess

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 4>everything up.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>So this is the best choice we got.

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Are you satisfied with that choice?

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 4>We're here, we're practicing on it. I mean, everyone has

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 4>their preferences and wish things were better, but we'll deal

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 4>with the.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Field how it is.

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 5>Hi Kyowa aj Ross with CBS Sports, can you talk about,

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, just the game planning you already started last week,

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 5>the opening script, how that communication flow has been with Brock,

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 5>what he's liking, and how that continues into this week.

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, we put in a lot last week.

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 4>Today was really the official time we make it official.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we cruckt some things from last week. Something

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 4>we didn't like. We took out a few things we

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 4>didn't have in last week that we had more time

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 4>to look at.

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.839
<v Speaker 1>We put in and now we'll run it back. Today

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>was Wednesday.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 4>We'll do two more days of it, and then we

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 4>work on the openers Friday night and Saturday morning, and

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 4>one saw the Saturday night.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 6>Hey Kyle, you were around the forty nine ers organization

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 6>when you were a young man a young boy. How

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 6>much did you absorb of the mentality of those players

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 6>of the Super Bowl or bust mentality that was always

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 6>with that team during the dynastic years.

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'd like to say it was from hanging

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 4>around the team, but it probably wasn't.

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I was just a ball boy.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 4>Who got that in training camp for a little bit,

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 4>But just being around my dad my whole life, I

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 4>think definitely helped you understand the urgency of everything.

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember going to.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Three Super Bowls before sixth grade when we were in

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 4>the AFC and he was a coordinator, and I think

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 4>the closest one of those they lost by I want

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 4>to say nineteen, which are seven first one versus Giants

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 4>and then last fifty five to ten versus nine Ers

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 4>in the last one. So I kind of got used

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 4>to that growing up just being over in the AFC,

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 4>and then went to the Niners and waned and that's

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 4>what's so cool. Going back to Denver and then one

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 4>in that my senior in high school versus Green Bay,

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 4>I think the first time in thirteen years that they

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 4>had see had won. So I'm just going through that

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 4>and knowing how your dad is.

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Perform after them.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 4>All that stuff, you just you get the even though

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 4>you don't realize you're learning it. But those are your

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 4>life experiences. You got a very good idea of how

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 4>it works. And I've been fortunate enough to be in

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 4>a few of these on my own and not much

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:33.079
<v Speaker 4>different than how they were.

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>And I remember growing.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 7>Up Hello Coach Vittordia, from touchdown back to before the season,

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 7>there was question about how injury could affect your team

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 7>and finally you will arrive at the Super Bowl with

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 7>a very scy team. Did you change anything in the

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 7>physical preparation this year compared to previous years?

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 1>You said, with injuries.

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 4>And we always tweak stuff, and then we got group

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 4>of guys who they look into the science and everything

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 4>as well as anyone. I don't think there was anything

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 4>drastic this year. We've been doing that pretty consistent for

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 4>the last five years. But it's a week to week thing.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Depends how your players feel after a Sunday game. It's

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 4>what they tell me on Monday, it's what they tell

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 4>me Wednesday before practice. Not every player is in the

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 4>same situation too, so you adjusted for individuals, but not

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 4>too much different.

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 8>Kyle, your offense has been the most copied in the

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 8>league each year.

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 1>You continue to shrink the field.

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.679
<v Speaker 8>No team has run more condensed formations than the forty

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 8>nine ers this year. At what point in your career

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 8>did you start to realize the game would be played

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 8>like in between the numbers and maybe even in between

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 8>the hashes, and can you recall a play that made

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 8>you think, like, Yeah, the game's going towards this way.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 4>I just remember when I started and went to Tampa

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Bay has a quality control and I was drawing everything

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 4>in books and stuff, and everything was.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Drawn out from wide splits. Nothing was from tight splits.

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 4>And then I always looked at everything when I first

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 4>started through a receiver standpoint. That's what I played most

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 4>of my life growing up, and it was so cool

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 4>to watch how it helped people get open. How it'd

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 4>look one way out here, look totally different in here.

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Some people wouldn't even bump you back then.

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 4>It's like they only could bump outside the numbers, you

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 4>could get the bump off every time you could get

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>leveraged with people change stuff up.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>And I think it.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 4>Started that way just from seeing how you could help

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 4>people get open, and then you start to learn the

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 4>run game, You start to learn how safeties fit, how

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 4>leverage is different, and things like that, and then it

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 4>just evolves to a lot more. Kyle, what are some

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 4>of the challenges that play calling head coaches face in

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 4>game management and how have you evolved in handling both

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 4>since you became a head coach. I think since I

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 4>became a head coach, I mean I think offensive coaches

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 4>you're always thinking about the time and stuff.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean play callers.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Just being a coordinator, you know, being ale call plays

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 4>for the nine years before becoming a head coach, I

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 4>think gave me a lot of experience. I mean, you

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 4>never call a play without having an idea of what's

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.799
<v Speaker 4>on the clock, on the down, and distance, the score,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 4>all of that stuff. So it's always in your mind

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 4>every time you watch football, every time you do anything.

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 4>And I do think though, once becoming a head coach,

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 4>it's you from game management and stuff. I mean always

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 4>the clock issues are usually the same, but how to

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 4>win the game becomes a little bit different. I think

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 4>when you're calling plays and painting that stuff attention. As

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 4>a coordinator, it's more about how do you score? How

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 4>do you get points? How do you all outscore the

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.239
<v Speaker 4>other team? Because you don't watch the other team's offense,

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 4>you don't have a good feel of your defense. You're

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 4>not watching the game as it goes. You're just getting

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 4>ready for your series. And I think becoming a head coach,

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 4>you realize how to call plays, how to use the

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 4>time and stuff, not just to get points, but really

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 4>just try to help you win the game.

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 3>Hey, coach, In the Lions game and throughout the regular season,

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 3>Brock would throw over his body over into the middle

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>of the field. Do you ever get nervous when he

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.039
<v Speaker 3>does this? And do you ever tell him to stop?

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when he makes a bad decision, do it doing it?

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I do.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 4>And if he did that a bunch, then then it'd

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 4>be something that we had to put a stop to.

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 4>But usually when goes across his body, I think he

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 4>usually makes the right play, and quarterbacks do.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Make that here and there.

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 4>But if that's something you're just doing a bunch and

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 4>make mistakes, you got to end that pretty fast. You

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>gotta have a reason to go back there, not just

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 4>hoping you're getting lucky.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Kyle, you know you and several of the players

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 3>have suffered through, you know, heartbreaking losses like we've talked

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 3>about over the years. How do you think those callouses

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 3>that were developed helped in the last couple of games

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 3>with you making those second half comebacks.

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Not much at all.

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean had a lot of comebacks before those callouses too.

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 4>It's I mean, I think just the more you coach football,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 4>the more you go through, the more you don't You

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.799
<v Speaker 4>don't try to make any absolute answers or philosophies in anything.

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 4>You understand there's so many variables, there's so many different situations,

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 4>and it comes down to one game. So you don't

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 4>just sit there and be like, man, I learned this

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 4>last game. I'm not going to do that the next game. Well,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 4>that might be the right answer the next game. It

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 4>might be the right answer the next quarter. I mean,

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 4>everything you got to take into account. This isn't just

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.919
<v Speaker 4>a plus a minus game. You have to evaluate everything,

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 4>and there's a flow with how those twenty two people

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 4>move in the situation, and that's stuff you got to.

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>That's why you're never done.

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 4>You're always continuing to work and continue to try to

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 4>come up with whatever the decision is that gives you

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 4>the best chance to win. But I promise you there's

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 4>no consistent automatic answer.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 9>The often coach, how do you manage your players pressure,

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 9>mainly those players who played four years ago against the Chiefs.

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 9>Do you practice any special execute, any special dynamics for

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 9>these players.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 4>The guys who played in the super Bowl last No,

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 4>we're just getting ready for this game. I don't think

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 4>last super Bowl has anything to do with this game,

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 4>just like last week doesn't have anything to do with

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 4>this game. What's good about guys who have been here before,

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 4>especially the younger guys who came here, You know, they

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 4>can talk to the younger guys are coming now and

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 4>kind of tell them how they felt at that time

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 4>and then how you feel after. I mean, it's a

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 4>cool week. You get caught up in a lot of stuff,

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>but I mean, you don't remember all this stuff. You

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 4>remember the game, and people for the rest of their

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 4>lives remember that game if you won that game, and

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 4>that's really all that matters. And you can say that,

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 4>But it's cool when people have gone through that, so

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 4>people tend.

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>To listen more. That is the truth. That's how it goes.

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 4>And all this stuff's fun and neat, but you forget

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 4>all this stuff.

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>It all passes what you remembers. Who want to loss that?

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 10>Hi coach over here, Hi Kyle. Only two head coaches

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 10>for this great franchise have had more wins than you

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 10>and the Super Bowl era, You've had what many would

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 10>consider great success in recent years, with four NFC Championship

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 10>of Game appearances in the last half decade.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>You have your own coaching tree.

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 10>Do you think about your legacy to the NFL and

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 10>in particular this organization, and if you haven't, what would

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 10>you like that legacy to be?

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, I could never find you not trying to not

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>look you in the eye.

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 4>But I never thought about the word legacy. When I

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 4>think of legacy, I think of my dad. I still

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 4>even though it doesn't look like that when I FaceTime anymore,

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:13.599
<v Speaker 4>but I still feel like I'm somewhat young and it

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 4>just doesn't really work that way with me. I don't

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 4>think that works that way with a lot of people

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 4>are just in it. You're just trying to win that game,

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 4>and that game is always the next one, and you're

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 4>finally we're in a game where this is the last one.

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Of the year and these are the ones that count.

0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, you understand that, you're aware of that, but

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 4>that's stuff that you don't really have time to spend

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 4>thinking about.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>It's nice.

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 4>Hopefully when a game's over, you can sit back and

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 4>think about that stuff and enjoy it.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's what you usually do. At the end of

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the year. You think about a lot of stuff and

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you go through that. That's why we all need to

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.959
<v Speaker 1>get away a little bit usually when the season ends.

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 4>That's why I'm very glad I don't have to go

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 4>on a recruiting trail or anything like that. And whether

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.959
<v Speaker 4>it's good or bad either way, you got to take

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 4>about a month to do that, and when you come back,

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 4>you get ready for that next year.

0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>When it's all said and done. Then I guess people

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 1>can talk about legacy a couple.

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 11>More and coach at peedback off what you were saying about.

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 11>Obviously the players that could talk to the players who

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 11>played in the Game of twenty nineteen. But obviously the

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 11>Super Bowl is an event, but having two weeks between

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 11>it when you're winning and going on Kasissey. Would you

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 11>rather have the game be one week after the championship

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.079
<v Speaker 11>games or do you like the two weeks in between

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 11>the games.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 4>No, I couldn't imagine it being one week. I mean

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 4>just the pressure that's on everybody once you win that

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 4>NFC championship that, I mean everyone. You don't realize how

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 4>many family members you have, so you have to count

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 4>up super Bowl tickets and then you never realized that

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 4>you had as many people like you until that Monday

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 4>when you have five hundred texts saying they've never been

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.719
<v Speaker 4>to a super Bowl and can you hook them up?

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>And then you realize that.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 4>You there's only so many people in that stadium, and

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 4>how hard it is, so like that's the most stressful

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 4>thing to me is watching players go through that who

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 4>have no idea and you have to say no to

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 4>your uncle who was always with you. Well, they don't

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 4>know how much that costs, and they don't know how

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.959
<v Speaker 4>much it gets. And I think that's the biggest thing

0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 4>to have just a few days to set all that

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 4>stuff aside, because that is important. It is a big

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 4>deal to all these players as families and everyone who

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.200
<v Speaker 4>really cares about them. But the reality is it isn't

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 4>everybody's event. We'd love to make it, but you can't

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 4>do that. And I think that's the biggest thing. Those

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 4>first two or three days that is stressful for guys

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 4>and for you, your wife, whoever it.

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Is who's taken care of it.

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 4>But when you can get that down before you come

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 4>here and now you're here and now you kind of

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 4>have a normal week.

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Besides all the media stuff.

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Coach George Kittle i Com said they both back up

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 2>practice this week after missing last week.

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>What's that again?

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>George Kittle and i Com said they both back at

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>normal practice routine.

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, they were limited today.

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>George and Eric are limited.

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 4>They got out there, got some good work in and

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 4>hopefully it'll be full go tomorrow.

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 12>How a lot of your players have talked about how

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 12>they approached mentally the twenty nineteen Super Bowl and how

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 12>it's different for them this year. Do you have the

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 12>same experience. Do you feel like your emotional state this

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 12>year is much to than twenty nineteen.

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's that much different. I mean, I

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.559
<v Speaker 4>mean the beginning of the week, it's always fun stuff

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 4>to get out here and everything, But I mean I've

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 4>always been pretty well aware, even before I got into coaching,

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 4>what the super Bowl was, and you're so locked in

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 4>and ready for that moment, I think, I mean, I've

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 4>learned it going to them before, but I do think

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 4>the players the biggest thing is for them to realize,

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 4>because I mean, yeah, you don't I don't take as

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 4>many pictures anymore, you don't film everything thinking this is

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 4>so special and stuff because you've never seen stuff like that.

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 4>I think those are the things you start to realize,

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 4>like all that matters is that game. You're not going

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.719
<v Speaker 4>to come back and watch that stuff unless you win

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 4>that game. And that's really I think it gets clearer

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 4>and clearer the more you go to them
