WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Because en run around yes year might be a little practice. Yeah,

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.399
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be the case. We'll see what he can do.

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, he did run around a little bit yesterday

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and then they'll monitor as he goes through today. So

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any other update. That's exactly what he

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>just said self. We'll see what he can do. Are

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you're spoking about how highly you've got a oldell and

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>last year was a trade cosslit all in the interpet

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>getting up. You know it's something store there was no trade.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 1>He's not practicing again today. You know what's the the

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>approach from from your standpoint? And you have gotten sure

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>it happens every week. Where have the kind of monitor

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>whether he's got a player or not. Yeah, our approaches

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:50.160
<v Speaker 1>he's playing, that's our approach. We'll see thirteen on Monday night.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Very competitive player, know him very well. He's gonna play

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>against us. You've you've left players um in the past,

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.319
<v Speaker 1>players very significant injuries taught for that whole last year.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>What's your theory and changing that when sometimes player maybe

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>don't push themselves from coming from any come back and

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no theory with mine. It's all done through the

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>athletic training room and our doctor, so I have I

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>don't weigh in on any injuries or that's not my

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>expertise and that's all up to those guys, So I

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>don't weigh in one way or another round any of

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>that suns down to that and it never comes down

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to the head coach. Never should come down on the

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>head coach. I'm not in charge. I'm not a medical doctor,

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>so I don't never get cleared anybody to play, and

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>never will clear anybody to play. It's between the player

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.839
<v Speaker 1>and the trainer then to decide or the doctor. The doctor,

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>not the trainer. It's the doctor. The doctors say who

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>plays and who doesn't play. I think Barr has played

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>well in the last couple of weeks, you know, getting settled,

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>getting an understanding of um, you know what we're doing defensively.

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 1>But I thought he's played well in the last couple

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. I know we said that news handles all

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the running back rotations, but Ryan Matthews playing really well.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>You guys as a team haven't made a concerted that. Again,

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>we just work on a daily basis here, so I'm

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>not concerned with you know, we'll see you have no idea.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm never a hypothetical guy. Ryan could be

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the only healthy back in the second quarter tomorrow night

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 1>on Monday night. So there's we don't ever have conversations

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>about what happens, if this happens or that happens. It's

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>just gonna take it as it come. So Friday question

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.399
<v Speaker 1>it sufficient. You only have to shave once a week,

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>so later in the week we have more time. So

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>George miss pleased. I think we're STAPs than any other

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>side linebacker. For you guys, how much has there been

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>instances where he's been in charge of kind of running

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the show getting the signal? Yeah, there has you know,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>he gets to um you know when Demiko's out. Really

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>he's the guy making the calls when when we're in

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>uh in a lot of our packages, and he's done

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a great job of that. I mean, he's really in

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>tune to the game plan every week. He's you know,

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I've said it, and I say it as a compliment.

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>He's never since he got here, he's never acted like

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a rookie. He's just been really mature in his approach

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and his understanding of what we're trying to do. And

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, billion wreck the extreme confidence in him. So

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>if he's in charge calling everything and making any calls,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>and he can certainly do that and has done that.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 1>We've heard the term before a good route runner or

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a wide receiver, but I'm not really sure exactly what

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that means and what makes a good receiver a very

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>good route runner. I think how crisp and clean they

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>are on their routes. You know, it's not sloppy. You know,

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>if he's supposed to get sixteen yards and break at

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>a forty five degree angle, he gets to sixteen yards

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>and breaks at a forty five degree angle. He doesn't

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>start rounding his cut at thirteen and kind of lean

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>into it or kind of give the route away in

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>terms of you know, some guy's peak. You know, all

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, I got to run a comeback, but

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 1>at thirteen I start looking back. Now you've given a

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>clue to the defender. You know, you want the defender

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to think that you're going vertical and you're running a

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>jet route when you're running a comeback route, so to speak.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>So the guys that can do that, not everybody can

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>do that. Not everybody can run full speed through sixteen

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>sync plant driving come back out of the cut. At

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>some point in time, they got to give a telaway

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to the defensive back to slow themselves down. So the

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>guys that are the real good route runners make you

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>think you're doing one thing when they're actually doing something else.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Miles were as good at that. I just think in

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Miles situation, he's got such a vast experience in terms

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>of where he was and I know he spoke to

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>me about it in terms of, you know, he came

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>into the league as an undrafted free agent, said he

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>learned a lot, you know when when he was an

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>undrafted guy, just studying the guys and one on ones

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>that were getting open when he was a rookie. He

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>said it was Terry Glenn that he watched a lot

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>when he was at Dallas, watched a lot of what

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Witten does in his routes and has really just became

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>a student because he knew he had to be a

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>great route runner, great guy with releases for him to

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>make it in the league and understood what it took

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>for him, so spent a lot of time studying releases,

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of time studying the different techniques and

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>how to run routes so that he could perfect himself.

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>What do you I just think he lies. It's his

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 1>second year in Ben McAdoo system, and you can see

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a comfort level anyliant in the whole system. He

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>not only has he only thrown two interceptions, he's only

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>been sacked four times. Um, you know, he's getting the

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>ball out of his hand quickly. He can recognize how

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>people are defending their team. You know, if coverage's role

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>one way, he's automatically going another way. He doesn't stay

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>on a receiver and say, hey, I got to throw

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball to this guy, so I'm gonna wait for

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>him to get open. He makes He's really going rapidly

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>through his progressions and putting themselves in a really good

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>situation offensively, and they're throwing the ball ton. You know,

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we had fair forty one completions last week, so it's

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>not like some guys aren't throwing a ton of interceptions,

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>but they haven't had a lot of attempts. He's had

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>a ton of attempts, so there have been opportunities to

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>pick him. There have been opportunities to sack him, but

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>those haven't happened Because I really think his comfort level

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>is is very very good in that offense right now,

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>especially being in the second year for FAM, A certain

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>style stands out of that now. I think he's a

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>good play caller, you know. I think Ben's got a

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>real good I think he understands his system. He doesn't

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 1>try to do things that are out of what their

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>system is. UM. You know, and there's a lot of

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>multiple you got to have good quarterback to run the system.

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But there's there's multiple guys on each out. I mean

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>there could be there's a lot of five out, so

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>there's five eligible receivers. And the thing that happens is

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>when you have a quarterback that can quickly diagnose that

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>this is the coverage and there they are. Then bang,

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm going over here, even though my initial read may

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>have started over there, and that takes you know, it's

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a special match between a coordinator in a system and

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback that can implement that stuff so well. Well

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>their second in the league in run defense, you know,

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>they've done an outstanding jab at stopping the rush UM

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in the first five games, you know, and they've they've

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>done it against everybody they played. Um. They're big inside,

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, with Hankins and Cullen Jakins in there. Their

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>linebackers are downhill, physical linebackers, you know that that are

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that are really geared towards stopping the run. Um, you know,

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think for that reason, I think a lot

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of people have tried to throw the ball on them

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more, just because you know, you may

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>be banging your head against the wall in terms of

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to run the football against that look. So um,

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the first thing. And I think a lot of

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>coaches on the defensive side of the the ball will tell

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you that, hey, we're gonna stop the run first, establish

0:06:58.960 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>what we can do, and try to make it too

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>one dimensional. And that's how they've been successful on the

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>defensive side. When you choose or when you let and

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>having go, Like, how much were you relying on guys

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>like you know, Peters and laying at Kelsey kind of

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, help whoever would be sorry at the guard position.

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean that happens all the time. Whenever you lose

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in experienced veterans like those guys, you rely on the

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>other experience veterans to to help out. And we felt

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>very confident in Jason and laying in in Kelse that

0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>that those guys could foster those the younger players that

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to come in there and give them, give him,

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, the experience and the knowledge that they have

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and share that with himself before ten position on your

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.239
<v Speaker 1>goals one of those thanks us football. Do you agree

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>with that? And why I think the entire field goal

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>unit itself is a thankless position because and why do

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe that is that basically your job is to

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 1>put your both hands on the ground, close your eyes,

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and let people take a running start at you. And

0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the only way you ever get noticed is if you

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>get knocked awards and the ball gets blocked. You know,

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>so no one ever says, you know, when someone hits

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a fifty two yarder to win a game, boy, what

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>a great protection by the right tight end on that play.

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't notice them. The only time you

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>do notice them is when the ball's blocked. So, you know,

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>those guys in those situations, whether it be the guards

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>through the tight ends, everybody in that front that's protected

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>on the on the on the field goal or the

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>extra point. You know, um, you know, it's really kind

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>of a thing. Not not a lot of guys want

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to sign up for that. You know, you put a

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>job wanted, you know, job want up there and just said, hey,

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:32.839
<v Speaker 1>here's a job. You get to put your hand on

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the ground and have someone three and twenty pounds run

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>full speed and knock you over. And if you do

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you can you're not good at it, you know, just

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 1>stand your ground. That's not not a lot of guys

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>want to sign up for that job. So but it's

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>necessary in terms of how our game is played. So

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you're not afraid to use starters on special teams more

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>than most coaches. Maybe I don't know about more than

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>most because we haven't saided that, but I think yet

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>with the with the roster you have to. Now we'll

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>never have a starter that's a four special teams guy.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But if if a Malcolm Jenkins can be a kickoff

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>cover guy and we can get one out of Malcolm

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Um or we can get something out of a Nolan Carroll,

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>or we can get something out of Walter Thumb, and

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you kind of share that through your starters. You know,

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Coope is playing wing on our punt team, you know,

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's I think just with the numbers at

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>forty six, you have to do that. Um if not,

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're going to be successful from a

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>special team standpoint. If if you're just continually using just

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the backups and always kind of thing, then you're going

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>to be worn down a little bit. You know. I

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>think we try to rotate those guys a little bit,

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it. You'll see we get different gunners

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>out there, just because if if you're putting a lot

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, you know, guys have covered

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>three or four kicks, you know, it makes it difficult now,

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>So you've got to be able to kind of rotate

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>and keep those guys fresh as you kind of go

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>through that. Yeah, it's been great. It doesn't miss to

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>kick this week. Yeah you haven't kicked yet, so has

0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a mess kick. So we'll go tonight. Seam
