WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan Talks Making Adjustments Heading into Week 10 | Press Pass

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:03.559
<v Speaker 1>All right, injuries from this for this practice, Aaron Banks

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>is out, Trent Williams ankle, won't practice, Ray Ray Sick

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 1>won't practice, Drake Jackson knee will be eliminated limited. Everyone

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>else will go.

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 2>On Wednesday. Do you expect him at practice tomorrow?

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope so. I know you can't today though, Well,

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I think your initially said it was a low ankle sprame.

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything more going on? Yeah?

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I think obviously there is. I mean, just when you

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>have he's got a lot of history in there with stuff.

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>It didn't show up as a high or anything like that,

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>but when you've had that over your career, there's a

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>number of things that, with how it's taken longer than

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>expected to heal, it's more than a low. Sorry, go ahead,

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna talk too much.

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>You've talked in the past about looking at each week

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>as a one game season, especially in the years where

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 2>you guys had started a little slower. How important is

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>this week to really get in mind?

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.959
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important every week, but especially you've lost

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>three in a row. You got to get back to

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the part of that's all that ever matters, and it's

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>always a one week season. And it's not about going

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>on a run or anything like that. It's about trying

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to beat a really good football team this week.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Of the chase, Ben And how do you see him

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>fitting in here right away?

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he's going to jump in right away. First

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>time we saw him was Monday. We had a slight,

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>small practice and we'll see him out there today really

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>for a real practice, and hopeful you'll pick up the

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>stuff throughout the weekend. I'm get to be out there

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a good bit on Sunday, yes, hope.

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So ask about Looter and Robert Beale. What what's the

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>hope for them? I know that neither of them practice much.

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>In the summer that they can show that they can

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>help us. I mean, the little that they did practice

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>this summer, we saw two really good players we're excited

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to have. They didn't get to go through a lot.

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>They got hurt pretty early, but what we saw with

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>them in college and what we saw in them in

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the first practices, we're really excited to get him back.

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're healthy now. It'll be their first time

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>getting into football, but hopefully they can get a number

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>of practices in just so they can get used to

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the NFL how we do it, and but there are

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>guys that were looking forward to being.

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Here, given that you thought they looked tired in the

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Bengal game. Is there anything you can do to conserve

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>energy with this.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Team or or things like that, Yeah, definitely haven't. Bye

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>week really helps. We conserved a lot of energy. Yeah,

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.519
<v Speaker 1>you always do once you get through the halfway point

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>of the year. I mean we always change the reps

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>up as we go, we change up walk throughs of

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>as we go. Eventually we change up our full speed stuff,

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>which is coming real soon. So there's always an adjustment

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>throughout the year. Sometimes you change a week to week

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>based off how your team is, where they're at, but

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>just always it's always evolving.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Back to what you said about a one game season.

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>As much as this is a veteran team and guys

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>understand that what things go so well as they did

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>for five weeks, that do you have to kind of

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>remind everybody every week that you still have to show

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>up every single week?

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course. I mean I think you get reminded

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that almost every week in the league. I think we

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 1>went a while without getting reminded that, which I think

0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>it's good to get reminded, But I always tell guys,

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, getting a pat on the back or getting

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Hayden on it is all the same because none of

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>it matters and both affect you. So you need to

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>not let those help you or hurt you because they

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>really have nothing to pertain with what we do on

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the field and things like that. So you always got

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to focus. Whether you've won fifteen in a row, whether

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you've lost three in a row, nothing changes. It's it's

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>about how you play and the intense you play with

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and how well prepared you are.

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>You were doing some self scouting last week. What topped

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>out of you? I guess offensively, either what you guys

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>were doing or what defenses were doing to you.

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's everything, and defenses do everything, and we

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>do everything. Each quarter is different, each week's different. I

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>think we've done a lot of good things, you know

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>when you just look at it, numbers wise and stuff.

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>But I think we've got to really eliminate some of

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the times we kill ourself. You know, you don't ever

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>want to take stuff away from other teams because other

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>teams always make it harder. But I do feel the

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>times we've struggled We've just made some key mistakes that

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we're capable of not making, and I think

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 1>we're the ones who have slown herself down. I mean,

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think when you look at how little we've

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>punned and things like that, you should have points to

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>match with that. I don't think we have the last

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>few weeks, We've gotta get more points.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Your team look fatigued and slow after the Bengal game.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Is there is slow an off season type of thing?

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Is there any area on either side of the ball

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>you can inject some speed before the off season?

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you have anything I can inject? I mean that

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>makes one person faster, but no, it's overall team speed,

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's not just one play. It's for a overall game.

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that happens several one through the season.

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it showed up more on our tape in

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati than it had the other in a while, which

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>was concerning. So I was glad for the break, But

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I also think the trip got to us a little bit.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, those are all reasons slash excuses, which are

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>the exact same thing to me. But yeah, our guys

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>are a lot fresher, right know, they look good to

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>go and hopefully ILL have a good week of practice,

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>play the right way on Sunday and keep it that way.

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got twelve We got three games in

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>twelve days, which doesn't help. So that's a little bit different.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>But I look, and then you get three days off

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>after that Thursday night game to kind of recover and

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the run. You get to practice two

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>minute drills in late game situations where you're down a

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of scores. During the season, I know, practice time

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>is extremely limited. Never no one, No one does. Yeah

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't just say you're down two scores and just scrimmage,

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>but everybody runs a two minute drill. We always run

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it on Wednesdays. Uh.

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 2>You guys made a decision, or as Steve Wilkes made

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>a decision where he's gonna be game day.

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna put him on the field this week. Something

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about for a little bit. Uh. I think,

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 1>uh some there's pluses too and minuses to it. But

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what we like about this week.

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>What what is your personal feeling on it?

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Uh? I love being the box. I think that's the

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>best spot. If I feel like you guys would judge

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>me too hard if I went up there never gets

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>cold enough, I might be I just I like a

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>chair in a desk and a lot of stuff write

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>down and things like that. And but you know, I

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>was had to do this for nine years before I

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>got here. I was only the box one year, my

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>last year, so I was eight on the field before that.

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>There's pluses and minuses to both. So yeah, you usually

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 1>go with your preference.

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Why move Steve.

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Just because of some of the stuff you do in

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the box. You know all the advantages to it, which

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>are great. But I kind of wanted to be down

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and be near our players a little bit. They've had

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>that more just with the linebacker communication in the past,

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and I want him to be down there so you

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>can talk to guys a little bit more.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Red zone scoring for you, guys is up for the league.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>It's down.

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.479
<v Speaker 2>There are something happening league wide tendency that you're.

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>See global warming, No, it's it's all. I'd see all

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that stuff, random and everything, even I mean, the league

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>always evolves. I think defenses. I think offenses have so

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>many things that they do these days, not just a

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 1>couple teams or half the teams, all the teams. I

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 1>think it makes defenses have to be a lot more sound,

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>not take as many risks, and stuff gets tighter down there.

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>And when you're not taking as many risks and you're

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>extremely sound, there's not as many freebies. And if you

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>try to make a living off throwing jump balls or

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>just running into loaded boxes, that's really tough too. And

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>then when you sit back and you drop back when

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>people are being sound, there's seven to eight guys in

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a tight, tight area, and there's only three to five

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>offensive guys in a tight area. So I think defenses

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>are getting better in that area, and offenses they just

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>they catch up, and you've got to get creative or

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you got to get guys who can run it in.

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I forgot here. Deebo's production has been kind of off

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 2>and on a lot of its injuries. What would it

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 2>mean to get him back full strength and get them

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>both going at the same.

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Time, I think be huge. I don't think we've really

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>had that. You know, Christian came in the middle of

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>last year. Deebo was banged up throughout almost to all

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 1>last year and hasn't really had his exact role or

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>been healthy since the year prior to that, and I

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>thought Devo started out great this year with how healthy

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it was, how good he was playing, and then he

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.840
<v Speaker 1>got some bad injuries which have kind of set him back,

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think he's about ready to get back out

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>there full and hopefully we can keep him that way.

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>In Chase's relationship with Nick, they benefit him in a

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>transition like getting every solemn money I practice. They're obviously friends.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>So how does that maybe help the player who's traded

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of season. I think anytime you go

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>to a new place, that's always a little weird for people.

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Football players just like anybody else, and you want to

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>go in there and meet everyone and stuff. But I

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>think it's always nice to have someone of your known

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>prior to kind of show you the ropes and understand

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>who you are, let other guys know, and it's just

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>an easier transition for people.

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.719
<v Speaker 2>How does Trevor Lawrence look compared to the guy you're

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>prepared for the last time you play?

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean very similar. I mean I think Trevor's on

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the more talented quarterbacks in this league. He's

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>a problem at any time. He's the height, he has,

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the size, he has in that pocket and he can

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>make any throw and what he can do with his

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>legs on any type of play, whether it's a design

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>run for him or just getting out of the pocket

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and doing off schedule stuff us. He's always a problem.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 2>With Colwell's defense. They held Pittsburgh two hundred and sixty

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 2>yards or whatever.

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's the best. I mean, them and

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland are definitely the best two defenses we played this year.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I think they're playing at extremely high level. They're not

0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.719
<v Speaker 1>giving up yards. They're one of the hardest teams in

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the league to run the ball against. I think they're

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>number one and getting turnovers. I think they're number three

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and giving up explosives, So they're a ben But don't

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>break defense because they're not giving up explosives and it's

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>really tough to run the ball against them. Man, they

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 1>lead the league in turnovers, so they're it's not surprised

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>if one five in a row. Thanks guys.
