WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, through in a punt return drill and he uh

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>he literally it wasn't really a contact drill. He was

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>just getting fit up and kind of stepped the wrong way.

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think he knew it when had happened, just

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 1>because it's happened to him before. And you know, I

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's a real explanation for it, to be

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, just feel awful because we've watched him

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>through the whole process. He's been here the whole time.

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>You watched him rehab. I think all the players felt

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the same way because they know how much he's got

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.279
<v Speaker 1>invested in this and it's you know, as I when

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I talked to him and you know, on the field

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and then when we got to finally answer last night

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what it was is, you really can't

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 1>put it into words in terms of what it is.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>But um, he's gonna get operated on soon, you know,

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll they'll make a decision in terms of where

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>they're doing that, and then he's just gonna start the

0:00:55.240 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>rehab process again. So same thing. We're just one one

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>guy down. We have six guys there, we have five.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>We also have Brandon Hepburn. We'll move out there a

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit, and we did that in the spring, and

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the same with Brad Jones. Will take some reps out there,

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.479
<v Speaker 1>and we're looking to bring another guy in right now

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>there now, Brandon hepburn and and Brad Jones will be

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the first two guys that will go out there right

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>now to try to keep playing. Yeah, that that's exactly

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>what he expressed. I mean, the kids got a passion

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>for this game, and um, we're gonna do everything we

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>can to help him and support him. And um again

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I excited thinking last year I said the same thing.

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>This year, he wouldn't He would have made this football

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>team if he was healthy. We're out there that you

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>guys are talking to Sam Bradford again and not trying

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to get a possible extension. Maybe you shorter one done.

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that important for you guys to lock him up

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>beyond this year or would you guys be comfortable with

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>splitting kind of the play out. I never discussed contracts publicly,

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>but there was a report last week that we weren't

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>doing it. So believe what you want to believe. I mean,

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a for him for us to have a great

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>day today. So we're never going to talk about contract

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and I never will. So on Sunday, why didn't Mars?

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>That was our decision. There's a we do have a

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>hydration status test and he was a little bit high.

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And obviously when you see guys that are high from

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a hydration standpoint, then you kind of pull them back

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit because that's when they're susceptible for an injury.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>So that was a training staff coaching decision. Fire that

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>injuries and recurag um and now it relates to someone

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>like Sam Brown, you just say that this is not

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>not related or do you look at its further proof

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>that guys and having deals more prone to have this

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>injury together. That's probably a better question for doctor de Luca.

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>But in our talks with him, um the chances ten

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to twelve percent of re injury, So I would say

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Travis fell in that ten to twelve percent. So much

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>speculation of banter. But the change is grade to this

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>team with the season. Does that change your approach to

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>know that there's perhaps more of a microscope or more

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>commentary just the janesus for your roster being season more

0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of a microscope in Philadelphia? You know, all right, there's

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>not any press conference in the in the league with

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>this many people in it right now, we're all aware

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>of that. He made as much news as off season

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>as anyone could have with Yeah, we weren't trying to

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>make news. We're just trying to make a team better.

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So after it was two because the way it was

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 1>subscribed to us, jif do you play Radford like he

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>would normally play a quarterback, you do? They awareness, right,

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I may have the back off because were we monitor

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Sam just like we do just like the Marco every

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>player on a daily basis, So all decisions are made

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>on a daily basis. So there's not a plan hey

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>when we go two weeks from now where we are

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>because two weeks from now it could be different from today.

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So today he's full going, going to go out and

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>do everything you can, and we'll continue to monitor him

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>like we do everybody else in the team to practices.

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>But with Marcus Smith, can you tell at all where

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>he is from a mental standpoint compared to last year? Yeah,

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he's obviously way advanced from last year and

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>he's not a rookie. But you could say that about

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Josh Hoff and all those other guys that are in

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the second year that you know, it's it's neat to

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>see them taking the young guys and kind of explaining

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>things how they go because it's not there. This won't

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>be Marcus's first time going into the link. It's other

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>guys first time going to the link. But I think

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>he feels more comfortable. He came back in really good shape.

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Um did a great job in a conditioning test ran

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>around the last two days, so you know, we're excited

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>to see how that progresses and what goes on. You know,

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>with with the outside linebackers go along with Brandon and

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Connors of some raps outside. What's the thinking there that

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I understand the Bills were interested in that are well,

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>we're not the Bills. So um, he just got here

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and in uh is still learning our system as an

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>inside linebacker. So the first two days it's opening your

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>eyes more than maybe somebody else, just a surprise of

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the first couple days of camp. Surprises status is pretty

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody. Everybody has trained really well in the

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 1>last two days, so it's not that they didn't. I

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>think they've done a really good job in the last

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>two days. But that's where we expected out of them

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>years about how he came back to camp. What has

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>he done differently too. I just think he's and he

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 1>came in in the best shape he's come in his career.

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's at the best way when you talk

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to him, I think he feels the best. He's worked

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>extremely hard on the strength and conditioning aspects, taking care

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of his body. I think, which as you start to

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>get older in this league, you know, that's the key

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of it is. You know, sometimes when

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you're twenty one, twenty two, you can do whatever you want,

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to get as much sleep, and

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you can do all those things. But as you start

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to get a little bit older, he really got to

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>be conscious of everything you're doing. And JP's been great

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with that. And I think he's in the best shape

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>coming into camp as he's been this being year three,

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>better than year one and better than year two. So

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>we're excited to see where he goes. It's only been

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>two days. Can you assess Tim Tebow's performance? So more

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 1>but see what you like. Yeah, again, it's been two days.

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>I thought he threw the ball worly well yesterday. You know,

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a couple stretches in there where he's it seems

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like he's got a little bit more zip on the

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>ball than he did when he was in the springtime.

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we'll see how that manifests itself. But

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>for those guys, especially them wearing jerseys, you're not going

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>to know anything with those guys. So you get him

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>into a game and there's a chance that you know,

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>with contact coming and all those other things. So Tomhouse, now,

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't to scout him. That was just to gather

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>information on quarterback play from Tom. So it wasn't had

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with him at all, regular currents that

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>we've done that before, you know, it was I mean,

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you see, guys are we monitor guys you know in

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different ways, and there's a reason we

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>do it. So if I guys we feel like isn't

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:37.239
<v Speaker 1>hydrated enough, which puts him in a more susceptible situation injury,

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're trying to do. That's part of the

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of what our sports science thing is is we're

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to prevent injuries instead of saying afterwards, you know,

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Joe Jones just pulled his hamster and what was the

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>hydration level? It was he was really dehydrated. Well, why

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't we know that before we went out the field.

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's why we do what we do. So

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it's just to checks and balance system so that you

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>can prevent things, because once it happens, you can't really

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>get it back. So it's now it's just it's a day.

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a daily, it's a daily basis, so your hydration

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 1>is a daily thing. So it has nothing to do

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 1>with six weeks on six weeks off. He's probably the

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>most conditioned athlete on our team. But if if you

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>don't drink the requisite amount of water and electro lights

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and have him in your system, it doesn't matter how

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>how fit you are, and especially the weather that it

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>was a big factor for us too. We had fed

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>back to back going into three ninety degree days, so

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, just being real conscious of if you don't

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>want to lose a guy in the first day. So

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>just a medical staff, coach and staff decision just to

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>held amount. He went through individual so he started out

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>in practice and then and we would do the same

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>with anybody. It's not that just we're treating him different

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>than anybody else, but we have full monitors on everybody

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.559
<v Speaker 1>that's why we have GPS systems and heart rate monitors

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and all those other things, so we try to we

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>can try to prevent injuries before they happened instead of

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>after the facts say that probably happened because he was dehydrated. Well,

0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>we should have done something about it. On the front end.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>What's up now, they're only on the training field. And

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>then your car actually because you had a really bad

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>parking job when you come in here. Correct. Yeah, see,

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>so the biliary about big brother because he's everywhere. Did

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>you see his parker job by the way, Oh my

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>God of changes. There's obviously somewhat of a learning curve.

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And when you have a lot of new players, as

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you guys put on the pads today, do you feel

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 1>like everyone's at where you want this team to be

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>at this point? I do know. We think they're ahead,

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think what Billy put in defensively and we

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>put in offensively, we're way ahead of where we've ever

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>been from an installation standpoint. But I think it's because

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of the amount of reps we get in the spring,

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and we go pretty hard in the spring. But there's

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a reason for that so that when we come back, Um,

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not starting over again, you know, it's it's it's

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>picking up where we left off. So we look at

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that break from June eighteenth to July thirty first, like

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>we just had a long weekend off and our guys

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>picked back up. And you know, the the the limited

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>amount ofmental areas we had in those first two days

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is really for us as a coaching staff was impressive.

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 1>So I think we got a group that studies hard,

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and they spent a lot of time and if they

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't take six weeks off, I can tell you that

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>just from a conditioning example point and seeing what they

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.760
<v Speaker 1>did in the first two days from a mental standpoint,

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>was John so far I mean, you know, meaning two

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>two years away. Yeah. The one thing that was interesting

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>with John is how quickly he's picked things up. He's uh,

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 1>he's intelligent, you know, and stout will tell you the

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>first thing. And now for those guys, we haven't had

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>pads on, so to say he can do this and this.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>He looks good moving around in individual drills without pads on.

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>So today will be a better chance to evaluate him.

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think the first thing that kind of stuck

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>out to me, stuck out to us as a staff was.

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>You know how quickly he's picked things up. He can.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>He's been in a couple of different systems in the

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.479
<v Speaker 1>National Football League, so it's it's a matter of transferring

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>it into how we call it. But he's done it before. Jones,

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you liked them and inside outside guy, he's done it,

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you know. And I think there's there's tape out there

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>when he was in Green Bay. He did both. So

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not teaching him a new it's putting it just

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>like I was talking with John, putting it into his

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>our terminology. So he understan ends what the call is.

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 1>But he actually has NFL experience of playing both inside

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and outside linebackers. So he rotated more players at the

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>right guard to Gardner yesterday. Yeah, well literally, And I

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 1>say this, and I'm not of those guys roll them.

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>The position coaches are in charge. I don't care who's

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>at right guard with the first group. I don't care

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 1>who's at right guard with a third group. I don't

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>care the quarterbacks with the first group. I just we

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>want to get reps in and we want to get

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>taped down. We're going into training session three. You know,

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we've got a lot more before we even get ready

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 1>to go play the Colts. But from now until we

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>play the Colts, you're going to see a lot of

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>different guys in there, and um, you know, we'll figure

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>out who it's going to be as we get going.

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>But we also have four preseason games to evaluate him

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>and and the games are the most important thing. You know,

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this is training them and preparing him to get ready

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to go playing the games. But it's live and for

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>real when you get in the game, and that's where

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the emphasis from the evaluation standpoint will

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 1>come from. Year. Yeah, well we've got four times to

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>tackle tom So against the Colts and the Packers and

0:10:54.920 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the Jets and whoever lume techniques who Zach. He's done

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a great job from a technique standpoint, has worked extremely

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>hard on it. But we've never had pads on, so

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, to his footwork and hand placement and things

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>like that have really improved. But now when you get

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>to days like this is now we'll be hopefully be

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>able to take the next step with them. But I

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.959
<v Speaker 1>think he's really worked extremely hard at it and what

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>we could get accomplished from a blocking standpoint, we just

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>helmets on in the offseason program and in the last

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>two days, I think he's done a real good jobs

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.719
<v Speaker 1>in that secondary and so much change in the secondary.

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you need to accelerate the process of communication and

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 1>getting guys or to do reps? Just take care of that.

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the reps is what the key is because

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you can talk about it all you want at at

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>slowed down rate, but that's not how the game is played.

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 1>So the way we've structure our walkthroughs, in the way

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>we've structured our training sessions, I think it's it helps.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>And then all the three on twos and formation periods

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and all that. And then if you just watch I

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>know some of you guys because Billy's in front of you,

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're doing in those teach periods of changing

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>formations and it's really that communication, and you know, it's

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>really key for those guys in the back end. They've

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 1>done a good job, but that both will continue to

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>train that way between now and the last time you

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.599
<v Speaker 1>spo publicly. Brandon boy getting expanded on his jo initially

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and kind of break away from race and put it

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>more on just you relating to players and head his

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 1>expressive concern, is there any concerning your part about that perception,

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>eat your locker room, and and do you need to

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 1>address it in any way now said, they talk to

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the players we have in our current team, but we

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>have an open door policy. I had a long talk

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>with Brandon last spring. Then he came in and sat

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>down and talk with me. You know, you can come

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to me whenever you want to come talk to me.

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>But we also have a pretty structured day where guys

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>are in meetings and you know, I don't just sit

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and walk around and say, hey, let me go grab

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>him and we'd sit down and let's have a coffee together.

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean when they get here, they're doing stuff, and

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.719
<v Speaker 1>especially in the offseason, we're limited with our time. You

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>got guys for four hours. There's not a time where

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're all sitting around holding handsing and come

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>buy all together. I mean we're in a meeting rooms,

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we're getting stuff done. They're in a wait room getting

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff on, there on the training field getting stuffed one

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>and then they're out of there. So, um, you know,

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe if they expand our time or we

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>could spend more time, but I don't think it's any

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>different than any other head coaches in terms of where

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you are. I think position coaches. That's one of the

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 1>things I miss about being a position coach. You get

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to be pretty close to your players because you're with

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 1>your players all the time, you know, and that's a

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 1>great bond to have. But as a head coach, you're

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>not in those meetings on their personality. I'll treat everybody

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 1>just like I I think I treat everybody how we

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>should be treated. I think, you know, we respect everybody. Yes,

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>some guys talk more, you know, I mean you I

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>could sit with Kiko for three or four hours and

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>we may not say where do we each other? But

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Kiko doesn't talk, you know what I mean, That's just

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the way Kiko is. But I mean I talk. I mean,

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I've coached those guys I coached organ I've been longer

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>conversations with Kenyon, but that's because that's what Kenyon was like.

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Keiko doesn't really talk to people, but that's what their

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>personalities are all about. So that year ago, back come

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>back to the team. I wonder you in some of

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:09.439
<v Speaker 1>the comments that back way, and now that I think it,

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Riley made a mistake and I think, you know that's

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>part of it, and we all packed him. Michael backed him,

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Jason Avant backed him. I think that's part of being

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>in an organization and the team, and that's you know,

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I look at that as a specific incident, and he

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was one hundred percent wrong, and it's those are things

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that should never be said. And I hope he learned

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>his lesson, you know. And and I think he regrets

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>what he did that day every single day. I mean,

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I see that in him. But do I regret what

0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I did in terms of how we handled Riley? No,

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we don't. Connection. There could be, but I don't literally,

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't spend a lot of time trying to figure

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>out how to connect X to his why do Z

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and all those other things. We have other things that

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>we need to take care of. So thanks guys,
