WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Play somebody would be pulling and a defender would just

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>go right by his backside and pull up the play. Yeah,

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>we didn't do a great job on our down blocks

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in the sweep game, you know, so there was obviously

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:19.799
<v Speaker 1>too much penetration, whether it's from the defensive end of

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>the defensive tackle. Do you think the plays before they

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>were sacking. No, people like they're picking up on one

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>tendencies in the run game at all them as I

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>hadn't attacking them. Now. I mean we didn't run a

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of plays, but I mean we ran sweep from uh,

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>running back on one side of the quarterback. We ran

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.400
<v Speaker 1>sweep from running back on the same side as a quarterback.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>So we ran sweep with motion, you know, a couple

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>of three different ways we were running it. But we

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>still didn't block them up front. So I don't think

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that's how we were handing it off or what in

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the formations we were running them out of him. I

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>think we're you know, they were all varied, but we

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>still didn't. The biggest thing is we didn't stop penetration

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>all night, all night long, especially in the ring games.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey and the two guards right out because you're getting

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>defenstration against you old day. Yeah, And it wasn't all them,

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, there were some times where it was the

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>defensive end, you know, that was up the field, but

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>no one on the offensive side of the ball grant

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>it out very well. So it's that harder to watch

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 1>today that it was seeing you in person yesterday. Now,

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty hard yesterday in person. So, I mean

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a today. When you watch a film, it's

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>just you're you're analyzing what went on, what was the situation,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>where's the breakdown, why was the breakdown? Um, So it's

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different than watching it in person. Do

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you feel like it can be fixed? Yeah, I feel

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>like it can be fixed. You know, we've we've we've

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of games here since since we've been

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 1>here where we haven't run the ball well. But we've

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>we've rectified that. You know, we didn't run the ball

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>well against San Francisco a year ago. You know, I

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>thought that was it. That's a game that kind of

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>stood out that we didn't. We didn't do a very

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>good job running the football in that game. Um, but

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>we straightened things out as it went along. So in

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>that particular game, I couldn't. I'll go back and look

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>at our notes. You know, I think a lot of

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to fundamentals. You know, I think it's

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's still you know, it's a fundamental football game.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I think the blocking, throwing and catching aspect of things

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>are the ones that you know, we didn't catch them

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>all very well last night, um and at times we

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't throw it very well. So you know, I think

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a it's a combination of all those things,

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and unfortunately one of them would rear tuggly head, you know,

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>on a particular play. So it wasn't one specific person

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>or one specific scheme. Um. But a lot of that

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>just comes down to fundamentals. I think maybe overthinking things

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit too much and I'm just going out

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 1>and playing. You did do different things last year in

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>the Giants game, which was two weeks after this four

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>nurs game, but the rand game before they tinkered with

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>a few things, and the Giants team he didn't the most.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>You didn't done differently to your run game. Do you

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>have to go back and look at games like that

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what you're doing game planning? Well, now

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>we game plan versus specific defenses. So you know, what

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the Jets present us coming up with Todd is not

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>anything close to what the Giants played asively, So I'm

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>planning any changes on the old line versus r No.

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>You've you've made a lot of changes this all season,

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>and everything in the preseason looked like it was going

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 1>okay with Bradford and Bury and everyone else. How much

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>do you have to look in the mirror at yourself

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>at all the change and say, you know what, this

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>may or may not work the way it's gone the

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 1>first two games. Well, the guys we have where the

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>guys were playing with for the remainder of the season.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it's not about a change thing. It's

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>about putting in a game plan that will be effective

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>against the Jets. And that's really what we're focuses on.

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>What second of the now we're putting We're talking about

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>putting in a game plan to get ready and focus

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>for the Jets. So that's what we're talking about. Peters

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>left like both games. You know, for players, I guess

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>an injury or something, No, I don't, I don't know.

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it could be kicked in the shin and

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>how to go out for a play. But you know,

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't anything post game last night where there was

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>any concern from our training staff with Jason souls to

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>evaluate everything and you look, how do you evaluate yourself

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>and you what are some things you can do? We're

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>not we're not putting together a plan that's good enough

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>for us to execute offensively because we're not executing it.

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>So that that that kind of falls on the coaching

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>staff on the offensive side of the ball. And uh,

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>you know that's where we have to spend our time

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>on this afternoon. Eventually, we say towards the end of

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>the broadcast yesterday, so is this team should be embarrassed?

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel that way? You know, you see what

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>after Yeah, I mean I don't know the players. Well

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I was embarrassed. Yeah, and that's not the way we

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>were supposed to play football, and that's not what we're

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>all about. But we we didn't. Uh, we didn't play

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>well yesterday, and I was embarrassing how we played yesterday.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Samets have multiple options posting of both in the passing

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>the run. Those Packers played in the normal runs. Do

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you still run those options? I'm confused what you got

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a particular player or just in general, just in general. Yeah,

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>he has us is he is he making the right

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 1>reason that those plays? Yeah's a high level player for him.

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>What are you seeing in these two games? It might

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>be different than what he's done. Um, I think some

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of the things that are gone out product. We're just

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>overthinking things, trying to predict that. We think they're doing

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>this because they're doing that and not doing that instead

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of just going out and playing. And I think in

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of situations we're just kind of overtaking a

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>few things and just going out and playing fundamental football

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>is what we really need to be doing instead of

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>trying to outthink the opponent. Fire Maxwell Fire Maxwell twenty

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>two five team. And when we're talking about the touchdown

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>any game up, do you think that that was a factor.

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about Yeah, we are saying we uh,

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a factor. They were on the

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>field for eighty five snaps, you know, and I think

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>that's a byproduct of us not moving the ball offensively,

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>So we weren't on the field offensively, and that's a

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not a time of possession guy, but

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I am a snap guy. You know. You look at

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta game, he was sixty eight seven, and you

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>know that's an even football game both sides of the ball.

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Everybody played the kind of the same amount. But this

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>one was an eighty five sixty game. You know that

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that can't happen. And that's where our offense has to

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>be able to help our defense out by We we

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>need to continue drives and we can't go three and out.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>So is the only answer getting first downds though? I mean,

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if your offense is not going the way

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that you wanted to is isn't there a philost We say, well,

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>you pull back and do milk the clock more so

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not exposing the defense that play still three and outs?

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Still three and out. You know when they had a

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>day had a twenty three play drive. Um, Cowboys had

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a twenty three play drive. I mean offense going three

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and out, kid, do anything about that drive. It's our

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>defense has to get them off the field on third

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>down and we have to stay on the field on

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>third Downzo and tendered to hear anything I do I

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>do in the first shortening of games, there's still consideration. Yet,

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>are you changing off to try to shorten We're trying

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to get first down, So I think, you know, we

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>hold on to the ball and a couple of start

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>downs early in the game, then there's a different dynamic

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.359
<v Speaker 1>than we stay on the field for uh x amount

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>of players, and when we stay on the field, then

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>they're not on the field. Well, on thir third and

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>more thing the first quarter, Sam did take off. That

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>was a drop back pass. It was a styeah, what

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>do you what is your message to the fan base

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that is obviously very upset with the way the team

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>has come out and started this season. Yeah, we're as

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>upset too when we got to get it straightened out

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>this week when we go play against the Jets struggles.

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Does any of that have to do with the fact

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's been so long since he's played he's still

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, getting used to playing you know,

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>full sixteen in a game again, or anything like that.

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think in all instances, just like with the

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive line or with the receivers on a drop of whatnot,

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I think they're all specific to we look at it

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that specifically. I don't look at it as he's missed this,

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, because he was extremely sharp in preseason, so

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.559
<v Speaker 1>it's not like he can say Hey, he's been rusty,

0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>so we got to knock some rust off. I mean,

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I was as sharp as anybody in the how we

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>threw the ball in the preseason. But we're not doing

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that right now. But some of that drop, some of

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that's protection, some of that Sam, you know, it's a

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>combination of all three. Sam's only thrown it deep something

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>like five times in the first two games. How much

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.960
<v Speaker 1>of that is him just tentative to throw deeper, the

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers just not getting over. I think it's a

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of times it isn't. I think if you look

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>at everybody has played us with a big, high post safety.

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>We try to take a shot with Nelson, but Wilcox

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>was really deep. The one Sam held a little bit,

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>DeMarco got tackled in the flats. We tried, we took

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>a shot. Nelly did a really good job a getting separation,

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>but there was a free safety deep in the middle

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>of the field. So I think people are defending us

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to not allow us to throw the ball over the

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>top right now, to the defense, rather than haven't dictate

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to you, how do you change it? Starts with the

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>run game, you know, and you've got to establish a

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>run so that that they have to commit more people

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to the run right now, Right now, we haven't done

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>anything in the run game where a lot of times

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw it we saw all single higher two high safeties,

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and those safeties were not involved in the run game

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>at all because they didn't have to be in the

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>run game at all. So I think, you know, it

0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of goes hand in hand. When you start to

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>run the football, well you need to now take people

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>from deep and bring them up a little bit closer

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to the the line of scrimmage. When that happens, now you

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity to throw the ball over the top.

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>But we haven't had the opportunity to throw the ball

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>over the top because we haven't established a run game

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 1>and and blocked well against a fourman you know, for

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>two bocks basically is what we're seeing right now, two

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>linebackers and for defensive linement, people get hurt. I did not,

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking at the film today, we don't You

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.719
<v Speaker 1>really couldn't tell what player it was on. Um, so

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that there wasn't a specific play at least from us

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>watching it. And I haven't talked to Kiko today, so um,

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll we'll see when when he gets back

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 1>here tomorrow, season end or not. I don't have any

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>sense at all that, and I don't think the doctors

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have any sense at all either. It would have changed

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. But one that fumble on his staff, he

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't then it dead ball foul and in the play. Shoot, yeah,

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that's not how it was explained to us. So I

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>was explained that the ball was snapped, so it was

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a live ball. But do not sense. I'm just telling

0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>you how it was explained to me. I'm just that's

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I was how it was explained to me. It's how

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 1>it was ruled. So well, how disturbing are the drops?

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I think Georgie's got a great You guys have eight

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to two games. Yeah, they're there are a problem, but

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>it's no different than an offensive linement, not blocking, you know,

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>missing a guy with on a slant or whatever. It's

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>just it's there are things we need to continue to

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 1>work on. There are guys that we know are really

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>sure handed, guys that have done it, made some outstanding

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.319
<v Speaker 1>catch us here so far, and um, but it's it's

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>one thing that that adds on you know that we

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>do put ourselves in a situation and convert it third

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>down then we have a drop, you know. So it's

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those where, um, you know we need

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to continue to to to drill it, to work on it,

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to get our feet set to secure the catch all

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the way through the tuck. Um, they're important, but it's

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's uh, it's hurting us on the offensive side

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of the ball wheel when you feel what's that go

0:10:56.160 --> 0:11:01.439
<v Speaker 1>down thirteen? Nothing? Um, well there was because there was

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 1>plenty enough time at that point in time we needed

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>we needed points, so we're just trying toccumulate points at

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that point in time. You know, there was enough time

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>left in the clock where knowing how many drives we

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>had left, we felt well we had an opportunity. Are

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you confident with Sam going forward as you're starting quarterback? Yeah,

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm confident in Sam. How do you what is your

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>message to your players to avoid them, you know, getting

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>into a run here you guys have lost five and

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 1>six d eighty back to last year, is there a

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.599
<v Speaker 1>message to your players kind of keep this going so

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't get into Yeah, well I don't think we

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.840
<v Speaker 1>an't talked about last year because a lot of these

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>guys weren't even here. So you know, our message is, um,

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>we felt like we've pared well and played well in

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the preseason and now we've and uh, we didn't play

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>well in the first half against Atlanta, we played well

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>in the second half against Atlanta, and we didn't play

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>well at all against Dallas. So, um, that team that

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>played in the second half against Atlanta as a team

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>that we need to show up this week against the

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Jets defense. Back to back games on the ground, how

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>do you think that defense? I think our run defense

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>is has actually been pretty good, you know. I think

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 1>for for for what people are trying to do to

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>us and what those guys have done out there. Um,

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know some of those runs at the end of

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>those games because they were up, you know, and I

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 1>think we got worn down a little bit. But I

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.319
<v Speaker 1>think when they were trying to run the football, I

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 1>thought our our run defense had a good job. Last

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>yesterday innocent branding. So you had rainage starters on the

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>interior of the line and were cod fund right that

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>So so that was a line. Now you had your

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>five starters, personnel, podingteam, you get the pushing the Yeah,

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the personnel is good enough, but the execution isn't good

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>enough and the two guards and what gave me the

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>confidence this off season that issue st I've seen them perform.

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Andrew played last year and eight games for US, and

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>we've seen Allen performed since um, you know, going back

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>to Green Bay game a couple of years ago when

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>he when he filled in. And I've seen Allen every

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>day in practice and in training. So you mentioned the

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>new faces a lot. Do you rely more on your

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>core leaders that have been your throughout the process to

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>keep on board? But what's happening is like slow stars Now.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I think all of those guys, um are really good leaders.

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 1>That the new guys that we brought in, and I

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>think they've they've been vocal in the locker room along

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>with Connor and Malcolm and Demiko and the guys that

0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>have been here for a while. Soative place and the

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 1>third quarter six and then next ninety two comes in

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>between Peters and Barbara. You just take us through those

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>two places, and it was fist and half. The first

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:32.719
<v Speaker 1>play was a sweet play. We missed the defense of

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.560
<v Speaker 1>any signed inside caused penetration, and then we had a

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>combination block between Allen and uh Jason Peters on the

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.439
<v Speaker 1>on the one where he signthed inside. Marco was pretty

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>hard on himself, laid himself for the issues in the

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 1>running game, which is a classy thing for him to say,

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>But did you really see anywhere for him to go?

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And you put blame on him as well, And in

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>most situations, I don't put the blame on the running

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>back because it was just too much penetration for those guys.

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>But there was times there were some things blocked up

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and we could have probably hit it a little bit better,

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 1>but by and large we didn't. We didn't block it

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>very well. There needs to be more. I guess more time,

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, with all the new players brought you, you

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, maybe overestimated. No, I think that's overestimated.

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean we played two years ago and everybody was

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>brand new. I mean, coaching staff, players, everybody was new.

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no, they're not going to give you more time.

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean we all have the same amount of time

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to prepare us. So I mean as far as the

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>expectations didn't preseason, yeah, we don't talk about expectations. We

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about executing. So you know, I know the team

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>we played in Game one was that was a brand

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>new coaching staff and they had all new faces right

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta. So you know, I think one on the

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 1>play we have to talked about in particularly the defensive

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>end lined up out wide and then slanted across his face,

0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>so you know, mishandled a slant you know, not knowing

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and it was a single block. It wasn't a combination blocks,

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't getting any help from the inside. So, um,

0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it was really just some of the movement things. What's

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that um In terms of our determination whether he was

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>active or no, I think he's he's probably back healthy,

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>but he hasn't practiced a full week, so I think

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>there's probably some stamina issues with him in terms that

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>could he play a full sixty minutes And then, um,

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>whenever we make the decisions on the guys that aren't

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the starting linebackers, which would be Connor and uh in BG,

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>it all comes down to special teams and in Brad's

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and integral special teams player for us right now,
