1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, coach. To open up with questions,

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: We'll start with Mike Reeese follow by Alex Bark Good morning, Bill,

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: as we talk today, are things looking good for a

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: regular week of practice for you guys? Day to day? Mike,

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: we'll go day by day. Yeah, and along those lines,

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: a couple opportunities for I our guys to potentially come

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: back this week. Any sense on where David Andrews is

8
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: in that regard day to day? We are day today

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: on everything? Yea. And Carl Davis. We haven't had a

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: chance to really ask you about him. I know he

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: hasn't even really been in the building, if or maybe

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: he has been, I don't know where that is. But

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: what what sort of drew you to him in terms

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: of UM, I know you guys had some personnel shortage there,

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: but what does he what traits does he have that

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: makes you want to work with him? I guess yeah,

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: he's got some experience and he's available. Next question Alex Barnes,

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 1: followed by Philip Perry, Hey, Bill, good morning. I think

19
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: you've talked about this before in the past, like five

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: or six years ago, but I was trying to go

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: back and find it out how much prep do you

22
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: guys do week to week in terms of the officials

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: and their tendencies and things like that. Is that something

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: you guys look into specifically when it comes to challenges?

25
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, with these officials every week? Thanks. Yeah, I

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't say it's something that you know, we

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: spend like five hours a day on, but we look

28
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: at him every week and we talk about going into

29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: the game what we know. And obviously each game is different,

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: but you know, I think there's some genre all things

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: that we can make our our players and coaches aware of.

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: As far as replay, I mean, I'm not really sure

33
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: you're talking about there. Um, you know, I mean a

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 1: lot of those calls end up back in New York,

35
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: so it's the same guy. I don't know what really,

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what we're doing there, not all of them,

37
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: but you know, in the end, you know, it's Al Riveron,

38
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: so it's done a really the same person. Next question,

39
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Phil Perry. I've been born Bill. I know you mentioned yesterday. Um,

40
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: the way teams have sort of played Kim's running ability

41
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: has opened some other things up for you guys. Um,

42
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: have you seen it open things up for you? All

43
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: in the passing game, and how have you felt about

44
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: the team's ability to maybe take advantage of those things. Yeah,

45
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: well we'll say I mean it's you know, that's a

46
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a week a week question. You know,

47
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Cam didn't play against Kansas City and then you know

48
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: last week was different kind of weeks. So we'll see

49
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: how it goes going forward. Next question been gone felled

50
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: by Chris Ryan. Good morning, Bill, Two quick ones for

51
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: you today. Given what you guys have been through the

52
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: past few weeks, is there any thought to just doing

53
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: away with like in person meetings, doing virtual meetings as

54
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a full time policy, just staggering guys in like going

55
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: to those more intensive protocols just as a full time thing. Yeah,

56
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: we looked at a lot of different options and we've

57
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: been through different scenarios. So yeah, ultimately we'll try to

58
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: do it with feel is best in all areas. So

59
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: that would be a combination of things and we'll well

60
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: as we that. As I said, we'll just take a

61
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: day by day. Are you guys hoping to do more

62
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: in person this week or are you planning on more

63
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: virtual stuff? Right now? We're day by day. We're Tuesday,

64
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: so We'll see where things are today on Tuesday, and

65
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: I make decisions on Wednesday. Well, we know more on

66
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday and so forth. It'll just be day by day.

67
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: All right. Quick question about your opponent. I got the

68
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers coming to town. Obviously, you know the

69
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: quarterback very well, Jimmy Garoppolo. What have you seen of

70
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: him on tape in the few years that he's now

71
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: been in San Francisco? Do you see as very similar quarterback?

72
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: Has he worked on somethings? What are you seeing at

73
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: a Jimmy Garoppolo? Yeah, well, I think we all know

74
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: Jimmy's you know, a quality player can do all the

75
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: things that a good quarterback needs to do. Yeah, led

76
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: a forty nine Ers NFC championship last year. Yeah, that's

77
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: really you know, we saw a little bit of him

78
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the year last year in preparation

79
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: for this game, and and of course the two thousand

80
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: and twenty games that he's played in. So I don't

81
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: think there's any question about his skill level and um

82
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: and what he's been able to accomplish and what their

83
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: teams have been able to accomplish. So we'll be ready

84
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: for his best. I'm sure, we'll get it. And he's

85
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: got a lot of does a lot of things well,

86
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: looks like two final questions Chris Ryan and Mike Giardi

87
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniels has started in Michael's room. Morning Bill.

88
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: You're effusive of your praise of George Kittle, uh yesterday

89
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: with the San Francisco Media, and I'm curious as to

90
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: how you've seen the tight end position evolve over the

91
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: years and what role do you think Ron had in that?

92
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: And also Mark Navarro in your time with the with

93
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: the Giants, as you ranked him as good as anybody, um,

94
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: you've ever seen in regards to Kittle, Yeah, well I've

95
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: got a lot of great tight ends through the years,

96
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: and UM, I would just say Kittle is is very impressive.

97
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: He does everything well. UM. You know, it's hard to

98
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: compare his career with other players, um that you know,

99
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: I played ten, twelve years and so forth, But what

100
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: he's able to do and what he's done, um, and

101
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: and our exposures to him is pretty impressive. He's he's

102
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: very good at everything. Passing, game running, game run after cash, blocking,

103
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: um effort, big playability, you know, you name it. He's

104
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: he pretty much excels in every area. So um, you know,

105
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: I think when you look at complete tight ends, um,

106
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: you know he would. He's certainly stu up there to

107
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: this point from what he's been able to do with

108
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, just about anybody. And I certainly put uh,

109
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, guys like Bavaro and and going back to

110
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in pro football sixties, seventies, eighties, where

111
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: tight ends did everything. There was no receiving tight end

112
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: or blocking tight end. Those guys, um, you know, they

113
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: they lined up there for every play, the John Mackies

114
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and then Mike Ditkah's and and great players like that.

115
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: They're in the Hall of Fame. They lined up on

116
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: every play and blocked and ran and caught and made

117
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: their plays and block defensive ends and everything else. So um,

118
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, you don't see as many of those type

119
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: of players these days. Um. Let's certainly Kittle looks like

120
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: he could, you know, do everything that you would want

121
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: to tight end to do. Is that the type of

122
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: player that you can prioritize in terms of talent acquisition?

123
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: And what have you seen from from Izzo in that realm? Well, again,

124
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about some of the players that I mentioned

125
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: are you know Hall of Fame players, um, And again

126
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: I would don't think it's it's definitely you know, tour

127
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: they'd talk about Kittle in that range. But again, based

128
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: on what he's done in his career to this point,

129
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: I think he's as good as anybody I've seen. Um, So,

130
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe not as good as Mackey, but I mean,

131
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can put him up there with with

132
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: just about anybody you want to put him up there

133
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: with in terms of blocking, receiving, everything else. Um. You

134
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: know Bavaro was, you know, it was a great, great blocker, UM,

135
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: and a top receiver. But I would say Kittle's ability

136
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: in the passing game is pretty pretty special. So you know,

137
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: he's he's a great player, you know. But we'll get

138
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: a chance to look at him in person on Sunday. Thanks.

139
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Final question Mike Tiard Bill, when you're preparing for their

140
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: running game, how much of an eye do you have

141
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: to keep on Samuel and I who can They're willingness

142
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: to hand it off to them multiple times from multiple

143
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: different formations. Yeah, they get everybody involved in the running game. Um.

144
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: They handed the tight ends, receivers backs, they run multiple

145
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: personnel groupings, with the fullback, with no fullback, with three receivers,

146
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: two receivers, so they give you a lot of different looks.

147
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: They're very well coached, they have a good scheme, their sound.

148
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: They're fundamentally very good. And uh, coach Hanahan does a

149
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: great job of attacking defenses by you know, creating formations

150
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: and conflicts that are hard defensively, and and he could

151
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: take advantage of men a number of different ways. And

152
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: then of course they make some big plays in the

153
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: passing game as well, you know, by by setting up

154
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: those things in a running game. So they're well coached. Uh,

155
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: they're very good fundamentally. They have an explosive group of players.

156
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, they put pressure on the across the board.

157
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Certainly the receiver's carrying the ball, is you know, something

158
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: that you've got to you've got to defend, But um,

159
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other things you got to defend too.

160
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: So it's that's the whole problem with San Francisco's It's

161
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: not about stopping one guy or one player or one player.

162
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: It's it's about you know, being able to play good defense,

163
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: good team defense, and you know, everybody's got to hold

164
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: up and do their job. And that's that's a challenging

165
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: at all the positions quarterback, tight end, running back, wide receiver,

166
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: um and a good offensive line and as I said,

167
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: very very well coached. So it's uh, that's you can

168
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,239
Speaker 1: see why they won the NFC last year. And offensively

169
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: they've they've got a they've got a strong group. All right,

170
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone. Yep,
