1 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: All right, ready, keen. What's the significance for this group 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: to set a franchise record in scoring and also lead 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: the NFL and scoring this year? I think certainly contributes 4 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: to UH or attributes to all the guys who contribute, 5 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: I mean, defense, special teams as a part of that 6 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: scoring points. Obviously, they did a tremendous job of contributing 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: to this. We have a lot of guys who've been 8 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: involved throughout the year, guys who've had different opportunities as 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: the season's progressed, and so it's an awesome collective thing 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: that all those guys achieved together. And so obviously we 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the things about points. 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: It's not about yards, it's not about really any other 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: statistical things now ground, there's some ones that benefit you 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: usually lead to lead to winning, but ultimately it's about 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: scoring points. And so you know, collectively, as an entire team, 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: all three phases, I think everyone contributed to help that. 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: Do you feel good about where you are just from 18 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: an efficiency standpoint and an explosive to standpoint going into 19 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: the postseason? Offensively, certainly we feel good. There's always things 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: to improve on throughout the season. You're gonna be going 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: through a playoff time of year, and you're soon going 22 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: to be wanting to improve on things, and that's part 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: of the process of this thing. We feel really comfortable 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: with where we're at. We got we feel fairly healthy, 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: fairly you know, available as far as the guys that 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: can go in there. We can play multiple ways, whether 27 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: it's running, passing, and different personnel, and so we feel 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: like we've got great opportunities ahead of us. On the broadcast, 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: they talked about Dan helped you preparing for the interview 30 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: with Jackson. Bill can just talk about that relationship and 31 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: how that helped you and how do you handle now 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the interest from Yeah, No, Dan's awesome. Dan grilled me 33 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: for like four hours, not just kidding, so h no, 34 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: I mean Dan, Dan's awesome. He's he's obviously been through 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: this process a number of times, and so he's a 36 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: great resource for me. I feel fortunate to be in 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: the situation I am to have Dan, to have Mike, 38 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: different guys who've been in these situations, and so they're 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: great resources and I'm able to have conversation with those 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: guys as things pop up, and you know, they've been 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: great for me and as far as you know moving forward. 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we just focus on this thing. I'm smart 43 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: enough to know that while I'm honored and you know, 44 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: feel very fortunate to be recognizing those conversations, you only 45 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: get those when you're around really good people. And that's 46 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: what we have here. We got we got a really 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: special group and really special opportunity ahead of us. It 48 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: wasn't four hours, about three hours and thirty mood. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 49 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: Dan's getting me, getting it all for me, Kellen forgetting 50 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: the whole slump conversation or not. When Dak has a 51 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: week like last week, but the last time you all 52 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: scored fifty points, the next week you chat, you struggled, 53 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: what can you take from this Philadelphia game into the 54 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: plaff for momentum and how do you make sure that 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: you understand the relative competition when you have a success. Certainly, 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: we just wanted to go out there and play really 57 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: clean football, kind of balance, be able to run the ball, 58 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: be all throw the ball. You know, obviously Philly played 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: a little bit different circumstances and so you know, we 60 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: understand that that part of it. But you know, it's 61 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: all about execution, all about just playing clean football. We 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: felt like we accomplish those things out there, hopefully carry 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: some of that momentum and kind of the the mojo 64 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: that may come with that hopefully carries through the playoffs. 65 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Have you seen Dak and Cedric's connection grow? And I 66 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: guess really big, consistent, pretty much drop the career and 67 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: and what does he ad to y'all's offense? Cedric has 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: just a tremendous feel for the game. I think he 69 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: does a great job. He just finds his way, He 70 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: finds his way to get open, He understands defenses. I 71 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: think he has a great feel and recognition, recognition of coverages, 72 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: and you know, he does a great job. He's very reliable. 73 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: We were fortunate to have the receivers we have that 74 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: when a guy like Michael goes down that we have 75 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: a guy like said available to us, and we feel 76 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: very fortunate we can keep this thing going calling this 77 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: being your first playoff game as a play caller, do 78 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: you ask Mike Dan anybody else, like what changes now 79 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: that you know a little bit like a player going 80 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: into his first playoff game, Like, what, what's what's different 81 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: about this stuff? I don't know, I don't know if 82 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: I certainly hope we're not drastically changing our personality, you know, 83 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: once we get there. Uh, you know, I think obviously Mike, 84 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Mike and I as we as we go through the week, 85 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: we'll we'll talk and have conversations about how we anticipate 86 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: this game going kind of our our approach, and and 87 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: we'll have those conversations throughout the week, and we have 88 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: those each and every week, and so, you know, we'll 89 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: see how this goes. I think it's more focused on 90 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco than is the fact that it's a playoff game, 91 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: I think. And obviously they present us with a lot 92 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: of challenges. They are really really good defense statistically, uh, 93 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: and obviously they have the talent talent to back it up. 94 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Certainly starts their defensive line and working there all their 95 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: way all the way back. They do a really really 96 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: good job. And is there anything can get from last 97 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: year's game against these guys or are you so different 98 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: and they so different? Bit just on personnel and scheme. 99 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: I think definitely from a personnel standpoint, obviously there's a 100 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: lot of differences between the two. Structurally, I'm sure both 101 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: sides can get a little bit out of it, just 102 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: because you know, there's some similarity from the structure from 103 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: the scheme standpoint, But obviously, you know a long time ago, 104 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: over a year ago, and you're probably you're probably gonna 105 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: see a lot of different players on the field. How 106 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: would you assess what you are in the Running game? 107 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: Obviously you didn't have Paullo in that last game, and 108 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: who if you're gonna have them on set on Sunday? 109 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: What do you stand for the run game right now? Yeah, 110 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: we feel like we're making steps from making progress. Every 111 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: week's a challenge in the Run Game, and uh, you know, 112 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: there's just there's talented defensive lines in this league and 113 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: and there's definitely challenges each and every week. I feel 114 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: like we're we're excited with where we're going with the 115 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: opportunities we have. Obviously, getting Tony back in there will 116 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: be great for us. Uh, you know, we'll continue to 117 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: be able to play Zeke, Tony, Corey when we need 118 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: and we feel very comfortable with where we're going. As 119 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: a play caller, when you know that the playoffs are coming, 120 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: do you care for certain things to have in your 121 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: pocket leading up to it? When the stakes are such 122 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: as they are, certainly you're playing every game to win. 123 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: Bottom line, I don't think that ever changes even the 124 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: last few weeks. You know, now, is there some things 125 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: maybe you know that you think may favor a particular 126 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: opponent as the season progresses. Maybe if I think we're 127 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: always trying to focus on you know, we're playing Arizona win, 128 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: We're playing in Philly to win. Last few weeks, you know, 129 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: certainly there's there's things that build throughout a season schematically, 130 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: and so there's always benefits to that. And what's on 131 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: film is what's on film, and we got a new 132 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: opportunity ahead. Kind of a twist on Todd's question about 133 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: the first playoff game, what do you anticipate the emotion 134 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: being like for you? Will it be any different or 135 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: did all that kind of get taken care of when 136 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: you were a quarterbacks coach in twenty eighteen? Uh? Certainly, 137 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, hopefully this game is uh, 138 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure it'll be you know, the energy 139 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: and eighteen t will be great and that's what playoff 140 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: games are. They always do have a little bit more 141 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: energy to them. But yeah, I think hopefully you know, players, coaches, everyone, uh, 142 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, there's a routine and there's a there's a 143 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: rhythm to each and every week, and hopefully we stay 144 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: fairly consistent with that and uh, you know, approach this 145 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: game very similar to how how we have in the 146 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: past throughout the last seventeen of these Yeah, that's my 147 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: goal and that's my hope. How much of an asset 148 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: is doc as you get ready for this run. Dak's 149 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: played in these games, He's played a lot of football. Um. 150 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we feel very very strongly about the 151 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: player that Dak is and around some great opportunities ahead 152 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: of us. We got a lot of really talented players 153 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: on offense, but we feel great about played a lot 154 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: of football, played a lot of football together, and so 155 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, this is the time. Go execute game plans 156 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: each and every week, take care of business, and we'll 157 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: see where it takes us. Hey, Kellen, I know you're 158 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: not game planning for Kyle Shanahan this week, but just 159 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: as somebody who keeps an eye on the league and 160 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: what other teams are doing, and just curious for your 161 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on some of the stuff they do, particularly with 162 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: their running game.
