Speaker 1: It's up, guys, am I calling them people.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Kyle, how's the practice fields? Where the conditions?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: That you could have a normal practice without any adjusting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we had a normal practice and we didn't practice there
Speaker 2: the rest of the week.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we're not going to change our whole schedule.
Speaker 4: We'd have to go too early in the morning, mess
Speaker 4: everything up.
Speaker 1: So this is the best choice we got.
Speaker 2: Are you satisfied with that choice?
Speaker 4: We're here, we're practicing on it. I mean, everyone has
Speaker 4: their preferences and wish things were better, but we'll deal
Speaker 4: with the.
Speaker 1: Field how it is.
Speaker 5: Hi Kyowa aj Ross with CBS Sports, can you talk about,
Speaker 5: you know, just the game planning you already started last week,
Speaker 5: the opening script, how that communication flow has been with Brock,
Speaker 5: what he's liking, and how that continues into this week.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we put in a lot last week.
Speaker 4: Today was really the official time we make it official.
Speaker 4: I mean, we cruckt some things from last week. Something
Speaker 4: we didn't like. We took out a few things we
Speaker 4: didn't have in last week that we had more time
Speaker 4: to look at.
Speaker 1: We put in and now we'll run it back. Today
Speaker 1: was Wednesday.
Speaker 4: We'll do two more days of it, and then we
Speaker 4: work on the openers Friday night and Saturday morning, and
Speaker 4: one saw the Saturday night.
Speaker 6: Hey Kyle, you were around the forty nine ers organization
Speaker 6: when you were a young man a young boy. How
Speaker 6: much did you absorb of the mentality of those players
Speaker 6: of the Super Bowl or bust mentality that was always
Speaker 6: with that team during the dynastic years.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'd like to say it was from hanging
Speaker 4: around the team, but it probably wasn't.
Speaker 1: I was just a ball boy.
Speaker 4: Who got that in training camp for a little bit,
Speaker 4: But just being around my dad my whole life, I
Speaker 4: think definitely helped you understand the urgency of everything.
Speaker 1: I remember going to.
Speaker 4: Three Super Bowls before sixth grade when we were in
Speaker 4: the AFC and he was a coordinator, and I think
Speaker 4: the closest one of those they lost by I want
Speaker 4: to say nineteen, which are seven first one versus Giants
Speaker 4: and then last fifty five to ten versus nine Ers
Speaker 4: in the last one. So I kind of got used
Speaker 4: to that growing up just being over in the AFC,
Speaker 4: and then went to the Niners and waned and that's
Speaker 4: what's so cool. Going back to Denver and then one
Speaker 4: in that my senior in high school versus Green Bay,
Speaker 4: I think the first time in thirteen years that they
Speaker 4: had see had won. So I'm just going through that
Speaker 4: and knowing how your dad is.
Speaker 1: Perform after them.
Speaker 4: All that stuff, you just you get the even though
Speaker 4: you don't realize you're learning it. But those are your
Speaker 4: life experiences. You got a very good idea of how
Speaker 4: it works. And I've been fortunate enough to be in
Speaker 4: a few of these on my own and not much
Speaker 4: different than how they were.
Speaker 1: And I remember growing.
Speaker 7: Up Hello Coach Vittordia, from touchdown back to before the season,
Speaker 7: there was question about how injury could affect your team
Speaker 7: and finally you will arrive at the Super Bowl with
Speaker 7: a very scy team. Did you change anything in the
Speaker 7: physical preparation this year compared to previous years?
Speaker 1: You said, with injuries.
Speaker 4: And we always tweak stuff, and then we got group
Speaker 4: of guys who they look into the science and everything
Speaker 4: as well as anyone. I don't think there was anything
Speaker 4: drastic this year. We've been doing that pretty consistent for
Speaker 4: the last five years. But it's a week to week thing.
Speaker 4: Depends how your players feel after a Sunday game. It's
Speaker 4: what they tell me on Monday, it's what they tell
Speaker 4: me Wednesday before practice. Not every player is in the
Speaker 4: same situation too, so you adjusted for individuals, but not
Speaker 4: too much different.
Speaker 8: Kyle, your offense has been the most copied in the
Speaker 8: league each year.
Speaker 1: You continue to shrink the field.
Speaker 8: No team has run more condensed formations than the forty
Speaker 8: nine ers this year. At what point in your career
Speaker 8: did you start to realize the game would be played
Speaker 8: like in between the numbers and maybe even in between
Speaker 8: the hashes, and can you recall a play that made
Speaker 8: you think, like, Yeah, the game's going towards this way.
Speaker 4: I just remember when I started and went to Tampa
Speaker 4: Bay has a quality control and I was drawing everything
Speaker 4: in books and stuff, and everything was.
Speaker 1: Drawn out from wide splits. Nothing was from tight splits.
Speaker 4: And then I always looked at everything when I first
Speaker 4: started through a receiver standpoint. That's what I played most
Speaker 4: of my life growing up, and it was so cool
Speaker 4: to watch how it helped people get open. How it'd
Speaker 4: look one way out here, look totally different in here.
Speaker 1: Some people wouldn't even bump you back then.
Speaker 4: It's like they only could bump outside the numbers, you
Speaker 4: could get the bump off every time you could get
Speaker 4: leveraged with people change stuff up.
Speaker 1: And I think it.
Speaker 4: Started that way just from seeing how you could help
Speaker 4: people get open, and then you start to learn the
Speaker 4: run game, You start to learn how safeties fit, how
Speaker 4: leverage is different, and things like that, and then it
Speaker 4: just evolves to a lot more. Kyle, what are some
Speaker 4: of the challenges that play calling head coaches face in
Speaker 4: game management and how have you evolved in handling both
Speaker 4: since you became a head coach. I think since I
Speaker 4: became a head coach, I mean I think offensive coaches
Speaker 4: you're always thinking about the time and stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean play callers.
Speaker 4: Just being a coordinator, you know, being ale call plays
Speaker 4: for the nine years before becoming a head coach, I
Speaker 4: think gave me a lot of experience. I mean, you
Speaker 4: never call a play without having an idea of what's
Speaker 4: on the clock, on the down, and distance, the score,
Speaker 4: all of that stuff. So it's always in your mind
Speaker 4: every time you watch football, every time you do anything.
Speaker 4: And I do think though, once becoming a head coach,
Speaker 4: it's you from game management and stuff. I mean always
Speaker 4: the clock issues are usually the same, but how to
Speaker 4: win the game becomes a little bit different. I think
Speaker 4: when you're calling plays and painting that stuff attention. As
Speaker 4: a coordinator, it's more about how do you score? How
Speaker 4: do you get points? How do you all outscore the
Speaker 4: other team? Because you don't watch the other team's offense,
Speaker 4: you don't have a good feel of your defense. You're
Speaker 4: not watching the game as it goes. You're just getting
Speaker 4: ready for your series. And I think becoming a head coach,
Speaker 4: you realize how to call plays, how to use the
Speaker 4: time and stuff, not just to get points, but really
Speaker 4: just try to help you win the game.
Speaker 3: Hey, coach, In the Lions game and throughout the regular season,
Speaker 3: Brock would throw over his body over into the middle
Speaker 3: of the field. Do you ever get nervous when he
Speaker 3: does this? And do you ever tell him to stop?
Speaker 4: Yeah, when he makes a bad decision, do it doing it?
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 4: And if he did that a bunch, then then it'd
Speaker 4: be something that we had to put a stop to.
Speaker 4: But usually when goes across his body, I think he
Speaker 4: usually makes the right play, and quarterbacks do.
Speaker 1: Make that here and there.
Speaker 4: But if that's something you're just doing a bunch and
Speaker 4: make mistakes, you got to end that pretty fast. You
Speaker 4: gotta have a reason to go back there, not just
Speaker 4: hoping you're getting lucky.
Speaker 3: Hey, Kyle, you know you and several of the players
Speaker 3: have suffered through, you know, heartbreaking losses like we've talked
Speaker 3: about over the years. How do you think those callouses
Speaker 3: that were developed helped in the last couple of games
Speaker 3: with you making those second half comebacks.
Speaker 1: Not much at all.
Speaker 4: I mean had a lot of comebacks before those callouses too.
Speaker 4: It's I mean, I think just the more you coach football,
Speaker 4: the more you go through, the more you don't You
Speaker 4: don't try to make any absolute answers or philosophies in anything.
Speaker 4: You understand there's so many variables, there's so many different situations,
Speaker 4: and it comes down to one game. So you don't
Speaker 4: just sit there and be like, man, I learned this
Speaker 4: last game. I'm not going to do that the next game. Well,
Speaker 4: that might be the right answer the next game. It
Speaker 4: might be the right answer the next quarter. I mean,
Speaker 4: everything you got to take into account. This isn't just
Speaker 4: a plus a minus game. You have to evaluate everything,
Speaker 4: and there's a flow with how those twenty two people
Speaker 4: move in the situation, and that's stuff you got to.
Speaker 1: That's why you're never done.
Speaker 4: You're always continuing to work and continue to try to
Speaker 4: come up with whatever the decision is that gives you
Speaker 4: the best chance to win. But I promise you there's
Speaker 4: no consistent automatic answer.
Speaker 9: The often coach, how do you manage your players pressure,
Speaker 9: mainly those players who played four years ago against the Chiefs.
Speaker 9: Do you practice any special execute, any special dynamics for
Speaker 9: these players.
Speaker 4: The guys who played in the super Bowl last No,
Speaker 4: we're just getting ready for this game. I don't think
Speaker 4: last super Bowl has anything to do with this game,
Speaker 4: just like last week doesn't have anything to do with
Speaker 4: this game. What's good about guys who have been here before,
Speaker 4: especially the younger guys who came here, You know, they
Speaker 4: can talk to the younger guys are coming now and
Speaker 4: kind of tell them how they felt at that time
Speaker 4: and then how you feel after. I mean, it's a
Speaker 4: cool week. You get caught up in a lot of stuff,
Speaker 4: but I mean, you don't remember all this stuff. You
Speaker 4: remember the game, and people for the rest of their
Speaker 4: lives remember that game if you won that game, and
Speaker 4: that's really all that matters. And you can say that,
Speaker 4: But it's cool when people have gone through that, so
Speaker 4: people tend.
Speaker 1: To listen more. That is the truth. That's how it goes.
Speaker 4: And all this stuff's fun and neat, but you forget
Speaker 4: all this stuff.
Speaker 1: It all passes what you remembers. Who want to loss that?
Speaker 10: Hi coach over here, Hi Kyle. Only two head coaches
Speaker 10: for this great franchise have had more wins than you
Speaker 10: and the Super Bowl era, You've had what many would
Speaker 10: consider great success in recent years, with four NFC Championship
Speaker 10: of Game appearances in the last half decade.
Speaker 1: You have your own coaching tree.
Speaker 10: Do you think about your legacy to the NFL and
Speaker 10: in particular this organization, and if you haven't, what would
Speaker 10: you like that legacy to be?
Speaker 1: Sorry, I could never find you not trying to not
Speaker 1: look you in the eye.
Speaker 4: But I never thought about the word legacy. When I
Speaker 4: think of legacy, I think of my dad. I still
Speaker 4: even though it doesn't look like that when I FaceTime anymore,
Speaker 4: but I still feel like I'm somewhat young and it
Speaker 4: just doesn't really work that way with me. I don't
Speaker 4: think that works that way with a lot of people
Speaker 4: are just in it. You're just trying to win that game,
Speaker 4: and that game is always the next one, and you're
Speaker 4: finally we're in a game where this is the last one.
Speaker 1: Of the year and these are the ones that count.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you understand that, you're aware of that, but
Speaker 4: that's stuff that you don't really have time to spend
Speaker 4: thinking about.
Speaker 1: It's nice.
Speaker 4: Hopefully when a game's over, you can sit back and
Speaker 4: think about that stuff and enjoy it.
Speaker 1: And that's what you usually do. At the end of
Speaker 1: the year. You think about a lot of stuff and
Speaker 1: you go through that. That's why we all need to
Speaker 1: get away a little bit usually when the season ends.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm very glad I don't have to go
Speaker 4: on a recruiting trail or anything like that. And whether
Speaker 4: it's good or bad either way, you got to take
Speaker 4: about a month to do that, and when you come back,
Speaker 4: you get ready for that next year.
Speaker 1: When it's all said and done. Then I guess people
Speaker 1: can talk about legacy a couple.
Speaker 11: More and coach at peedback off what you were saying about.
Speaker 11: Obviously the players that could talk to the players who
Speaker 11: played in the Game of twenty nineteen. But obviously the
Speaker 11: Super Bowl is an event, but having two weeks between
Speaker 11: it when you're winning and going on Kasissey. Would you
Speaker 11: rather have the game be one week after the championship
Speaker 11: games or do you like the two weeks in between
Speaker 11: the games.
Speaker 4: No, I couldn't imagine it being one week. I mean
Speaker 4: just the pressure that's on everybody once you win that
Speaker 4: NFC championship that, I mean everyone. You don't realize how
Speaker 4: many family members you have, so you have to count
Speaker 4: up super Bowl tickets and then you never realized that
Speaker 4: you had as many people like you until that Monday
Speaker 4: when you have five hundred texts saying they've never been
Speaker 4: to a super Bowl and can you hook them up?
Speaker 1: And then you realize that.
Speaker 4: You there's only so many people in that stadium, and
Speaker 4: how hard it is, so like that's the most stressful
Speaker 4: thing to me is watching players go through that who
Speaker 4: have no idea and you have to say no to
Speaker 4: your uncle who was always with you. Well, they don't
Speaker 4: know how much that costs, and they don't know how
Speaker 4: much it gets. And I think that's the biggest thing
Speaker 4: to have just a few days to set all that
Speaker 4: stuff aside, because that is important. It is a big
Speaker 4: deal to all these players as families and everyone who
Speaker 4: really cares about them. But the reality is it isn't
Speaker 4: everybody's event. We'd love to make it, but you can't
Speaker 4: do that. And I think that's the biggest thing. Those
Speaker 4: first two or three days that is stressful for guys
Speaker 4: and for you, your wife, whoever it.
Speaker 1: Is who's taken care of it.
Speaker 4: But when you can get that down before you come
Speaker 4: here and now you're here and now you kind of
Speaker 4: have a normal week.
Speaker 1: Besides all the media stuff.
Speaker 2: Coach George Kittle i Com said they both back up
Speaker 2: practice this week after missing last week.
Speaker 1: What's that again?
Speaker 2: George Kittle and i Com said they both back at
Speaker 2: normal practice routine.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they were limited today.
Speaker 1: George and Eric are limited.
Speaker 4: They got out there, got some good work in and
Speaker 4: hopefully it'll be full go tomorrow.
Speaker 12: How a lot of your players have talked about how
Speaker 12: they approached mentally the twenty nineteen Super Bowl and how
Speaker 12: it's different for them this year. Do you have the
Speaker 12: same experience. Do you feel like your emotional state this
Speaker 12: year is much to than twenty nineteen.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's that much different. I mean, I
Speaker 4: mean the beginning of the week, it's always fun stuff
Speaker 4: to get out here and everything, But I mean I've
Speaker 4: always been pretty well aware, even before I got into coaching,
Speaker 4: what the super Bowl was, and you're so locked in
Speaker 4: and ready for that moment, I think, I mean, I've
Speaker 4: learned it going to them before, but I do think
Speaker 4: the players the biggest thing is for them to realize,
Speaker 4: because I mean, yeah, you don't I don't take as
Speaker 4: many pictures anymore, you don't film everything thinking this is
Speaker 4: so special and stuff because you've never seen stuff like that.
Speaker 4: I think those are the things you start to realize,
Speaker 4: like all that matters is that game. You're not going
Speaker 4: to come back and watch that stuff unless you win
Speaker 4: that game. And that's really I think it gets clearer
Speaker 4: and clearer the more you go to them
