WEBVTT - Kyle Juszczyk Talks Christian McCaffrey's Impact on 49ers Offense | Press Pass

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that's focus of ours is if we do

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 1>get out to me is keeping that did you did

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you see the clip? You had a blog where you

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>ended up on somebody's back. Yeah, I think I think

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody saw the clip. I definitely did whatever. I came

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>around to sip and I thought I needed to hit

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Trent's guy. Last second he tugged him out of the

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 1>way and I just unfortunately I got caught his shoulder him.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>What do you say that? Uh? He didn't say anything

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>in the moment. It was after the game. Uh, he

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>was pretty hard on me, said we weren't cool anymore.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But we plugged, We plugged it out, and uh, we

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>still have each other. The biggest guy you've ever knocked over?

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>I think. So. Yeah, what sleep's been this year, It's

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 1>been great, man, It's been true. Home field advantage has

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>been loud. Um, It's energized us on offense. It's made

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>it hard to communicate for other offenses. Uh. And I

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 1>think this last week was, um, the loudest has been

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>all season. And it's a testament to the fans because

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I know it wasn't great weather. I'm sure, um not

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>everybody want to be sitting out in the rain, but

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>they definitely brought the heat. So Sunday was that Saturday

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>was that environment. What do you expect the Sunday with

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 1>no rain and the Cowboy? Yeah, I think I think

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be even louder. How much is the

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>history of this rivalry a point about psist for you

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>guys are just like an extra layer of something you're

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>thinking about. I was just talking about this not honestly.

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, maybe it's part of it, but like none

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of us are around for that. So the rivalry is

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.199
<v Speaker 1>really what we've done recently, and you know, we played

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>him last year in the playoffs, So UM, I think

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that is more of our fuel as opposed to the

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>previous decades. How much do you guys talk about yards

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>after the catch? I mean, that's a big part of

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>your offense a ton. We talked about it the time.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it every single day, probably every offensive meeting. UM,

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that's really kind of our identity is yards after catching.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>UM taking pride in turning those what may look like

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>a four yard game into a nine yard game or

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that's six yeard game in eleven yard game. You know,

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to be in second and one. We

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>want to be in first and ten. And that's something

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that we just really stressed. Why why do you think

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys are so good at it? The obvious speed

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and elusiveness and all that. I mean, what about this team?

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean we talked about, um were talking about drop

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>steps all the time, catching the ball, getting in your shadow,

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>turning up field. Um, we talked about finding too split

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>into never taking the defender head on. You're trying to

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>find edges on people. UM. So that's that's really that's

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.519
<v Speaker 1>ingrained in us from day one, and I think that's

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>just it becomes natural after what if that was your identity?

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Then getting McCaffrey enhanced that, I mean exactly. I mean

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>you take a guy who I think already led the

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>league and miss tackles and yards after contact, and you

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>throw them into this environment and he's just gonna thrives

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>down feel feeding to back you guys say again, the

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>blocking down fields, It's it's incredible because, um, you know

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>when you when the play is extended, when you when

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>guys are making people miss, when they're breaking tackles, and

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you have blockers that are extending the play. Um, if

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you can get past that first guy. Usually there's just

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>one guy left. Well, if he's blocked, that's just gonna

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>get to your speaking of the block, you know you

0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, it makes himself a good block or

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>not the biggest guy in the world. It seems pretty

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>physical out there and clear some molds. Really it's it's

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 1>his attitude and his commitment to it. He enjoys doing

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it like he loves being physical. Um, he's just such

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>a complete guy and you know he uh, I feel

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 1>like he takes just as much pride and the route

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 1>stid he runs that are incredibly crisp as he does. Um,

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, blocking a big defensive ends and linebackers at times,

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like receivers when they come in here

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 1>a little bit surprised by how harshly I guess Kyle

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>challenges Definitely, I definitely, because I don't think anybody is

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>challenged that way is or receive anywhere else, especially not

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>in college. So I think it's a little bit of

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>a surprise early on, but I think they all buy

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>into it and they see what a difference that can

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>make for the team, and um, generally speaking, the guys

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>that make it here are they they end up being

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>some of our best blockers. And I think you've seen

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that with Debo, with Jawan, with Brandon Um, all those

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>guys are not scared to mix it up. In the

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>very ring game, when you said that, Kyle, go after

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>some deep one team meetings or whatever, what's one of

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the funniest encounters you've had, or at least the most recently.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't you putting me on the spot. I don't

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>think about see on it that that mindset that you're

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about. It doesn't just apply to other receivers that

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.839
<v Speaker 1>plays offense for line or two and that's something they're

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>coached to do, but not every team does. What is

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it about this kind of culture here that makes guys

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>willing to do that little extra I think it's because

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>we emphasize and we celebrate it. Um. When Jake Brendall

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>gets down the field on a reverse and makes a

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 1>block thirty yards down field, like that doesn't just go unnoticed.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>We don't just like pass that by like we're loving

0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>him about that. We're heaping him with praise, like because

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're looking for. And uh so, I think

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that just encourages people to do it than Yeah,
