WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>For holding Bradford back that you know, you're good, You're

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:12.799
<v Speaker 1>right whatever you want. I really don't care what you

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>guys right, to be honest with you reason because I

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>said I held him back. I just answered that question.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of guys showed up, a lot of

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>first year guys. You know, Hicks had a nice block

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>on the front return. Can you just talk about the

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>contribution you might see from the you know, the worldies

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>this year. The previous two years didn't see a whole

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>lot from a lot of guys. You know, the one

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>thing you don't know about any of those guys or

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>what are they gonna be like when until you get

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>him into a game. And that's the encouraging thing. Sometimes

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the guys stand out in practice, um that's been history,

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden you get in the

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>game and they're not the same player. And then other

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>guys that weren't so good standing out in practice stand

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.160
<v Speaker 1>out in the game. But I you know, just from

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>before you get a chance to look at the film,

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>some of those guys I thought really stepped up and

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>made some players. Eric Row had a big fumble cause

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>on one of those receptions on the crossing. Now came

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in from behind, did a great job of stripping him.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>So um Nelson made it, you know obviously big catch

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>on our bench and on their bench and you know,

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>turn it into a touchdown and we had another catch. Um.

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, So we're excited about those guys. Uh, it's

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>just one step force. But we feel like we've got

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of really good film to teach off of,

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, officials, legitimate down and distance, all those things,

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good situations that we can Uh, we

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>can get a meeting room with those guys when they

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>come back on Tuesday and and and really start to

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>grow this team. Would the starting secondary, I mean they

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>give up it's everything it's not. And again it's not

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>just a secondary, it's what type of rush should we have?

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, did we generate Russia on on them on

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>those plays. There's a lot of different combinations when it

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>comes to past defense. But we'll look at everything generally,

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>look like the pretty quickly Matt, Yeah, Tim, you know

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>ran for a touchdown. Yeah, is there one particular set

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>of skills that you know they got to be able

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it all? But you also have to look

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>at who's in with who, you know, what I mean,

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I think there's different set of receivers that we're in

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>where Matt than than when Timmy used than Timmy had

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, really a different line at times.

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>So there's you know, you gotta have to take some

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>of that into there's a couple of those where Timmy

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>held the ball and it looks like, why is he

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>doing that? Well, the receiver in the wrong route. You know,

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>he's looking for a receiver to run a shalla across.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get any show across, so you know, we

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>don't we don't get that a lot in training sessions

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>where if the receiver doesn't run the right route, now

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:15.679
<v Speaker 1>what do we do. So there were a couple of

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>bus out there. We have some young receivers that we

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>think are going to be good, but we three of

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>those guys just got here about a week ago. So

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>there were a couple of mental mistakes. Um whether it

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>was up front or at the receiver's plot who thought

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, uh, he did a real nice job. You know.

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>We screwed up a little bit on that one naked

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>where it ended up getting tipped, but that guy should

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 1>have been blocked. You know, our tight end was lined

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>up too tight. We should have had a pin block

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 1>on him and got him to the corner and giving

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.239
<v Speaker 1>him an opportunity to throw it. But I thought, I

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>thought he did a really nice job out there. Uh

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>hit a couple of high throws. You know, I think

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he's got to get his feet set a little bit.

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>But I thought we played with good tempo um. You know,

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>as a group, we were all on the same page.

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, guys were clicking and guys were hitting. But uh,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he'd want too a couple of those throws

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>back just because they were a little high. Bring the

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>game now. I did not talk with Cody during a guy.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I just talked to Flipper and now I would I

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>will see the film and gets straightened out, you know,

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>playing a different player this year, I could this uh birthday.

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's a year older. I think it's it's

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>not all new for him. I think he's you know,

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>been there, done that. This isn't this isn't his first

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>preseason game, this isn't his first training camp. I just

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 1>think there's a you know, there's a kind of a

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>common sense around him. I think, you know, he's he's

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>got a better grasp of what we're trying to do

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>um and he's really showed up in our training sessions

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.119
<v Speaker 1>and he showed up today, so we're encouraged with his growth.

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Today was suppressive. I just think there's just a different

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>he's carrying himself in a different manner. You know, he

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was excited about going out and playing in the football

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 1>game today, So you know, we're excited to see where

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>this goes, bringing into competition for Cody. And it's not

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>why now we're not. I mean, he was an All

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl kicker last year. He missed in his first

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>exhibition game, he missed an extra point in a field goal.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So he's hit three from forty two. So I wouldn't

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't put the panic button right now. So there's

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of peoples practiced. Is he battling anything mentally

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>right now? He made a mistake in practice. I mean,

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>let's not go crazy. Now. He's pretty good kicker, So hey,

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a Pro Bowl I've seen Pro bowlers miss kicks.

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I've seen Adam Adam's a Hall of Fame kicker. I've

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>seen him miskicks before too, So let's let's just not

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>hit the panic button on coded right now. When we're

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the first preseason game down. You know, a great catch

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and a great run after. Is that what you've seen

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Dorian Camp? Yeah. I mean the one

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>thing with Nelson when he gets the ball in his hands,

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>he's real explosive, you know, so you're you're you're anticipating

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>run after the catch with him, and that's what, um,

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of the things we knew about him

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>because you could see it when you watch him playing college.

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>He did that a ton in college. He was also

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>a great returner in college, so you can see him

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>when he has the ball in his hands. He's a

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a dynamic player. And I think what you saw

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>today is kind of what one of one of the

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>reasons we drafted him so high. From the first team

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.919
<v Speaker 1>defense when they were up there against you just a

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit. I mean, I wouldn't put way too much

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 1>into it. You know, just how many series you know,

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Andrew came out I think actual in the middle of

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that second series, and Matt came in, So, um, there's

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>there's tape for us to coach off of, and that's

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.919
<v Speaker 1>really what we're looking at. But we're not you know,

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>making any predictions or you know, any lofty goals in

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>terms of coming out of this. It's just it's just

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>one step. It's our first preseason game. Was a good

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to go against another team. You get the live

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>tackle to the ground. Um, we did miss a couple

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>tackles on the defensive side of the ball, and we

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>need to clean that up. You know that one touchdown run,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>we should have had the back down, you know on

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.919
<v Speaker 1>the on the long third down that they ran in

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>for the touchdown. But um, you know that's those are

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>things that um, you know, Corey and the other coaches

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>will get a chance to get into film room with

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>those guys and and coach him up off of it. Yeah,

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>he was, Yeah, what about this progress? I thought I

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>thought he showed up today. You know, he showed up

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>not only these two interceptions, had a big kick on

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the big tackle on the kickoff return after that late

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>in the game. I think he's he's uh, you know,

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy that's pushing to to to make the

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty three man roster and I'm happy for it right now.

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he's, you know, part of it. The big

0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>We put a big emphasis and how you playing the game.

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not just our training sessions. Is how

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>do you play when it's live, full go and let's go.

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>And I thought it did a nice job and put

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>him put himself in a pretty good situation coming out

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of game one. So we'll see how he grows from

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the spot. He's obviously you for graduated the important one.

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>If you have one of those seats, he's go down

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>into the nickel. Um, how do you see that? I mean, woof,

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't playing, and um, how do you see who's

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>ever plays? Are the guys we evaluate? So that's that's

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>what the deal is. You know, we've got a deadline

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.279
<v Speaker 1>coming up when um, you know, right after that Packers

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>game that we got to make our cuts, and then

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>we got another deadline coming up immediately right after the

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Jets game. We've got to make our cuts. But it's

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>got to be based on who's playing, and who's out

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>there and who's who's who's uh, who's putting on tape

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>for us? So Ed's Ed's had a really nice camp.

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think he's he's a lot like Marcus

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>year two. You know, it's not all new for him. Um,

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 1>he spent the entire offseason here you know, it was

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>here every day, um, even when we weren't allowed to

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 1>be with him until April twentieth, but he was in

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the building working on his own and I think it's

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>showing right now. So this game a couple of mistakes,

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of miss assignments in terms of routes.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Thought Miles had a big catch. Air did nice job

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>bodying the receiver, showing you you know, whiley veteran, a

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys maybe would to outrun the throw. Knew

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it was a little bit behind him, so slow down,

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>let the defensive back kind of hang on his back,

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and then they made the catch over his shoulder. Jordan

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>made a big catch coming across the middle, so you're

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>happy with him. Nelson obviously was someone that kind of

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>showed up today. So um, I've been pleased with our

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>receiver so far in camp. We did have a couple

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>of drops today though there's a few there, you know

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that we that we wish we kind of had in

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Nelson Dad to drop in front of our bench. I

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>think Sprawlsy had a drop. We had a couple other

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>think Trey May had a drop. So, you know, a

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>couple too many drops for us, But um, we'll get

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that corrected. Separated Gardner and hearned him to start today,

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>he's just rotated. It wasn't a separation, it was just

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that's who had in there for the last

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>day or so. So, um, it could be a new

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna give all those guys an opportunity before we

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>make a decision on what's going to go on there.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>In the beginning, there was there was an aggressiveness about

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>your team. There was a sense of competition, energy, enthusiasm.

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Where did not all come from in this call game? Today?

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Death we got a lot of depth there and there's

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys fighting for spots. So um, I

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>think everybody's aware of that. You know, you don't really

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>when like we're getting big Rod Ross speach before we

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>went out in the the field, you know, but you're gonna

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>we put a lot of emphasis because of how we

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>train on what goes on. When you get a chance

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to go in a game and it's live, you know,

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>there's no excuses when you're playing in the game and

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you can't say, well, I would have had that guy,

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>but you blew the whistle coach too quick, coach or

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I pulled off because I didn't want to

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>have a big collision. It was you know, this is

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>this is live, this is real, this is going. So

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I think our depth has really um given us a

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>sense of urgency a lot of different positions. So um,

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>we're excited to see that and that's what that's what

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>we wanted from from those guys today. Corner into the

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>puzzle here, I have to performance, but we if he

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>continues to perform like that, we have to fit him in.

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So we'll you know, we're gonna find a way to

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>keep the best fifty three players here. But you know,

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>it's it's when you give you when you get an

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to do something, you step up and do it.

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's not a you know, well if I had

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>my chance, A lot of everybody gets their chance. A

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys played a lot of football today. So um,

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>he continues to play like that, then he's gonna put

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 1>himself in a mix. Last in the preseason, we got

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 1>heard of you talking about the difference between him last

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>year and this year. When you see last he did

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>well in the preseason. We did get him late and

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>then he got hurt in that last preseason game. So

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, we really it was. It wasn't a decision

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>we could make in terms of keeping him on the

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty three. He was hurt, so we waved him injured. Um.

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Then we had an opportunity after he got healthy to

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>bring him back and put him on a practice squad.

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>So UM, I think he's taken advantage of his opportunities now.

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.760
<v Speaker 1>So talk about the receiver drops where Shet Bailey seeing

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>the catch. Yeah, yeah, two tough catches and I want

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 1>to traffic just you know, we kind of had and

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>he's been really good. You know, that's the one thing

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>about Rashid. He's got outstanding hands. You know, I don't

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>he may not be as fast as some of those

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>other guys, but I think he's a really good route runner,

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you know. And you talk about the jump that he made,

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, coming from Rocksboro High School and playing at

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Del Valle and then all of a sudden he's playing

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in the link against the Indianapolis Colts. You know, that's

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a pretty big jump for anybody, and I was anxious

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to see what his response would be with you know,

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>if there was any kid or any player on our

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>team that could be a little story. It would have

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>been him, but he wasn't. He was out there. It

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>was all about business. We wanted to make plays and

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Um made a nice catch on our sideline on a

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, a key out route. And then that catch

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>he made coming down on the on the steam ball

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>from Timmy and I thought him put it the only

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>place he could put it because it was really good coverage.

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>But friend to come up with it was a was

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a big time catch on his part. So did you

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>watching tim tebo? I mean it seemed like he can

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's able to ron He was able to

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. I liked how Timmy threw it. You know,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know, that's the big concern with everybody

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 1>coming in is is has he really changed? And I

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>think is, uh, he's sequencing better. You know, he's got

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>his feet underneath him. And when guys ran the right

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>routes and he had an opportunity to throw the football,

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought he threw the ball really well.
