WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan Reflects on Team’s Week 16 Performance vs. Ravens | Press Pass

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>All right. The guys who won't practice today, Eric Armstead

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>foot knee, Juwan Jennings concussion, Aaron Banks tow, Jaylen Moore concussion,

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and then one of you guys didn't get from yesterday.

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I believe Jay R. Brown has knee spring he won't

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>practice today, and Deebo has a neck which will be limited.

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>The other guys who are limited Javon Javon Hargrave hamstring,

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Orrin Burke's knee, Ambry Thomas knee hand, Trent Williams growing,

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and Debot neck.

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, so clarified, Deebo's won't practice, he's limited.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>Sorry if I said that confusingly. Trent his listed his

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>limited encouraging sign for his availability percent. I hope so

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>he will.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 3>He won't take today off.

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're gonna walk through. We're just gonna go

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>out there and walk through some stuff. So, I mean

0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>most of people can do that.

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 3>With your is their concern that it's long term?

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>There's concern. I mean we're not ruling them out this week,

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>but there's concern. So I can't go today.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>What about impactless Chase Young had.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>On your defense, I think he's had a great impact thing.

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>He's played the run well. I think he's played the

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 1>pass well. It's helped with their rotations, just keeping everyone

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>out there effective and fresher. And I'm real happy to have.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Them, Kyle's specially with Joseph Day practice today. And do

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>you feel fortunate to get a player of that caliber

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 2>week seventeen?

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.199
<v Speaker 1>We do. I mean, especially some of the injuries we've had,

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, waiting on arms Stead to hopefully

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.919
<v Speaker 1>be able to come back. You know, we've been banged

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>up there and he's caused us a lot of problems

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>over the years playing against them. So it's nice to

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>give in our building now, and especially at a time

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>where we need some depth and how we need some players.

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 4>Have two real big regular season games coming up that

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 4>will determine seating, and you have the playoffs coming up

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 4>after that. It's high stakes football.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you find this time and gear of fun?

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I find it about the same as everything else. It's

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>it's all fun. But I mean, do you enjoyed it

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>in the moment? You're just you're grinding, you're working, You're

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>so locked in it's you. I think you enjoy the process.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>You enjoy competing, and you enjoy accomplishing, accomplishing things together.

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's fun to go through all this stuff. We

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.799
<v Speaker 1>all enjoy what we do, but there's nothing easy about it.

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's I think that's what when you get to

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the off season, people are ready for it. But I

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's why after a little time off, everyone's got

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that itch to come back, because it's this is the

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>part of the sport. I think that we're all addicted

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 1>to just that collective grind of working together to accomplish

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>someone bigger than yourself.

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I suppose with Brock they're going to always say, you know,

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 4>little moments where you have to move beyond what happened

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 4>in the past. But but for a guy was still

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 4>a relatively short sample size to have what would arguably

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 4>be his worst game, where is he mentally? What does

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 4>he have to do looking forward?

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>He just got to move forward and treat it as

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>a game. I mean, we review the game. He does

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>it on his own before I see him. I got

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>it some time to watch it with him yesterday. I

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>know it's always tough when you have four picks no touchdowns,

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>especially when you have four of them by two minutes

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>another third quarter, but you also look into all of them,

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you talk to them about why they happened, what happened,

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and when you look in that game, it's it's not

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a hard thing to him to bounce back from and

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>get to work this week. There's a couple bad plays,

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the first one in particular, but when you get a

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>look at the tape, there's nothing that It's very similar

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to coaching the what we do every.

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 4>Week, Kyle.

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>The Ravens had struggled against two backs defending the run.

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Did McDonald give you guys different fronts or different looks

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>that you didn't anticipate, or in hindsight after watching film,

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.119
<v Speaker 2>do you wish that you had run it with two

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>backs at them a little bit more in that first half.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>No, it's that's just how it goes. It's never that

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you plan on not doing something. It's first two plays

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of the game where it passed. The second two game play. Actually,

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the next three plays are going to be a run

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 1>if people buy our openers. But the first two plays

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>only got his three yards, So then it's third and seven.

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I think we got a fifty four yarder that got

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>us to the twenty eight yard line. We had a

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>top call in the twenty eight yard line. That's a

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>different area from our openers. So we went right to that,

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>got another I think thirteen yarder, and we had a

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>top call in the fifteen yard line that's different than

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>our opener. So you end up opening the game up

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>with five straight passes. Then I think we went to

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>three straight runs after that. Then we had a couple turnovers,

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, So it just plays out that way. There's

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>no we decided to go less, two back or one back.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>It's what happens when you don't go on drives.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 3>As a season goes on, I think everybody looks to

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 3>me outside and sees how much Christian's been playing, and

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 3>I think, well, maybe they might have to back off

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. You never have and with seventy snaps either,

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 3>and he looks as good as he did several weeks ago.

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Are you surprised? Impressed? Was in your observation on his

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 3>durability and how hard he's been able to play for

0:04:58.680 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 3>this long?

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Definitely, I've been impressed since he's gone here. I mean,

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the way the guy is insane and how hard he prepares,

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>not just in the season, but I saw him like

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a week after the season last year, and he had

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a drink with me, and he had actually a second one.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>He's like, well, they got like four more days left,

0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>so I'm gonna have a couple for the next four days.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, did we just finish like five days ago?

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And he gives himself like twelve days off and he's like,

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>right back to preparing in every aspect he goes through.

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>And he also made it very clear to me when

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>he got here his injuries aren't because of wear and tear.

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>They're because they're freak things that happen. And I'm not

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>saying that for us, but that's that's how he is,

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and he strongly believes that he strongly prepares that way,

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>and he's proven himself right and everything I've dealt with

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:43.160
<v Speaker 1>him on.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 4>How scary is a team like Washington that has absolutely

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 4>nothing to lose when you guys play them?

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I mean, I think all teams are scary, but

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>especially in that situation. I mean, when people have nothing

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to lose, there's everyone first of all, always has things

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>to lose. Because usually when people say there's nothing to lose,

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>that's there's a lot of guys playing for their jobs too.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 1>And those guys know that and even veterans who don't

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 1>think that they are, they usually find out the end

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>of the season that they were. So you always got

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>guys who are playing hard. And I know they're playing

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback who's won a lot of games in this league.

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>I know they got some players on their defense, so

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>they have just so good a chance to win every

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>week as any other team.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 4>Rock learned from a performance like the wind a characteristic one.

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought the biggest thing for Brock was the way

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of winning the first half. I thought, you know, just

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 1>between Brock and I just talking, where I thought he

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>struggled the most was after the four picks. You know,

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I thought his first pick was a bad mistake. I

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 1>thought the next three were unfortunate ones that you don't

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>make excuses for. There's just tough football plays, and they

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>made some good football plays, but it's it's tough to

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>play with a lot of football after you have four

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 1>picks and stuff, especially when you're down versus that type

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of defense. And I think that was the best experience

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>for him, how to feel that, to know what's happened,

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to know why it's happened, and still have to go

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>out there and singing around play and I think that's

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the best experience you can get from that game with Banks.

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 4>When you hurt a few weeks, you're expecting something similar

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:08.799
<v Speaker 4>this week.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Or this time.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping not. What did I say was not practicing,

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But he's not ruled out this week, so hopefully we'll

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>be limited the next day, which basically I'm saying it's

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>not quite as bad as last time, but last time

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>was pretty bad, so we got to see how how

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it goes in these next couple of days.

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 4>What are your options at safety?

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we got someone on practice squad. We've moved other

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>positions there at nickel and corner to have some depth there,

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>so we got some options. But Oliver's possibility. Anybody who

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>says they're a corner or safety is a possibility. And

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>if those guys go down, then I would say a

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>linebacker's a possibility. It was good Lynch will be after that,

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, Thanks guys,
