WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>He's been out here for two weeks, done a really

0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>nice job. He'll get his first work against the Ravens

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>when we get a chance to train with him for

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days before we play, and he'll play

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>in the Ravens game. So Mark Mark will start the game.

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>It's just he's been out here just for two weeks.

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I think the other guy's got a little bit of

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>base and I just feel more comfortable putting him in

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens game. So a physical element haven'thing to do

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.159
<v Speaker 1>with it. He can he I think he can go.

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's I know he's disappointed, but it's just

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>my call, you know. I think there's a fine line,

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, and then I part of it. You look

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>at what happened to Niles Paul last night, you know

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>for the Redskins, who's a tremendous football player who's done

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>for the year right now. So there's that fine line

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>in in uh preseason games where you are so um,

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, his first eleven on eleven was two weeks ago,

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and now going out against a team. It just my decision.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I've we've been back and forth around it, but I

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>made the final call that we're just we're gonna sit

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>in this game and he'll be ready to play against Ravens.

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>So Marcos start the game. Um, that's the only position

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we've really done right now is just quarterbacks. The rest

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>of it we'll all be determined based off of today's

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>training and tomorrow's training on what's going to be available.

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But Marco's start, Um won't play very much, and then

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>it'll be a lot of Matt, a lot of Tims,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>so we would chance to see those guys in some

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>extended play. So you're balance between you know, getting the

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>guy out there that has not played a lot over

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the last two years, getting you comfortable one pass rush

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>to Sina, and also of course trying to make sure

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>that he stays healthy for the lot of Yeah, that's

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the decision I had to make. And I think with

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the training sessions with the Ravens next week, I think

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>we'll help, you know, because we'll get two real good

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>days with them in pads with with uh you know,

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>with John's team, and then then we have the game

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>against the Ravens and you got the Packers. So um,

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we had some more opportunities for it.

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>So Marco and injury, I gave one more time. Any

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>other position besides quarterback won't be determined until after training tomorrow.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>So to Marco's gonna go today. Um, he'll go tomorrow

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll make determination on all those guys. So

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Sam try to talk you out of not getting anywhere.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>He didn't talk. You know, Sam understands, but I did

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>think he's disappointed. But I think he understands. So there

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a debate out there yesterday. App Yeah, Zach has

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a core muscle injury and he's probably gonna be out

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of weeks now. No, I think he'll

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>be back for a week one. But I think right

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>now he's out. So Um, he's with doctor Myers today.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So um it'd be to be a couple of weeks

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>with him. Um, but he won't. He's not going to

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>play in the preseason. The opportunity, said to him, gives

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you from a schematic standpoint, because of his skill set,

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>if you were to make the team, would it be

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>fair to say that some of those things that you

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>might want to employ him to do, we wouldn't necessarily

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>see in the preseason anyway. Now, I mean that's part

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>of our offense and what we do. So you know,

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I think when Tim gets in there, you'll see him

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>and run the ball a little bit, you know, that's

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>part of what he Uh. We have the ability to

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.079
<v Speaker 1>call plays depending on who's in there, so you'll see that.

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We're not trying to hide anything. I think people know

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>we can run zwn me plays in. The quarterback has

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 1>the ability to carry the football, So I don't think

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that would surprise anybody if we didn't do that in

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the preseason. A sudden Tim at an opportunity to played

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>during the season and we sprung it on him. So

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.519
<v Speaker 1>like a gadget standpoint, but you wouldn't show gadgets in

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>pre season. Yeah, but Tim's not a gadget guy. I

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>think Tim's a quarterback and I think he's proven that

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>so far when he's been out here. And um for

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>all those guys though, and I've said it to begin with,

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>they they're in red jerseys. It's a different game when

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>we get to Sunday, and I'm excited, you know, we

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 1>really as a coach chef, I want to see Matt

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>play awhile and I don't want to see Tim play awhile.

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>And we'll see what happens to those guys. Yeah, yes,

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Jamarco will go, Demko's going, Kendricks will go. Um. The

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>only guy who's not going is Arts and Brandon Hepburn

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>has an ab a domino. Um, so he's out. I

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>don't we don't. I don't have the extension on Brandon

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Hepburn and d J McBride hurt his foot, so he

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>won't go. But all those other guys will be back. Loa, No,

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Kiko is out me Yeah, No, he's coming along. He's

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>done a lot of different things. We're trying get him acclimated.

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we also carried the ball more than

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>anybody in the National Football League last year, so we're

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>just trying to integrate him into Yeah, we look at

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>everybody's and where they are from a body standpoint. I

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>think we manage every individual player here in terms of

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>where they are and what they are. And my job,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>or our whole not my job, our entire coaching staff,

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>training staff, sports scien staff, is to get those guys

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>ready to play in week one. So Malcolm j Malcolm

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>James is busting people's chops and I was laughing because

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>he asked me before he did it. Can we get

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>those guys, some Mahitos and maybe some fans because they

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>got a day off. But um, again, we every player

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 1>is dealt with individual here, so you know what works

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.919
<v Speaker 1>for player A may be different from player B. And

0:04:55.960 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's the way we've always done it. So he

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>goes fine. But I think it's again we know what

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>type of football player is, but that's not a position.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>That's not something you need to rush him back into

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>doing anything. I think he's he's his legs are healthy,

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you can run around, he can do all those other things.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>But I think and when you deal with an injury

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>like that, you're just gonna take your time. We don't

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>have a game to play until we play the Falcons

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on the fourteenth. So yeah, now we haven't even put

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>him through the protocol. He's where we're just taking him

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>along slowly, so why not put him Well, he's doing

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff in there, but we haven't asked to get him

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 1>cleared because right now it's not important to us. It's

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.279
<v Speaker 1>just let's just make sure that that he's in meetings,

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he understands everything, he's doing everything in there, and when

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>we get ready, he'll be ready to go play against

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Ravens hopefully, So what you meet so many changes this

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>all season has to be a point where you do

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>what you want to see your guys on the fields

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>this game and just closer, closer your part of you

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>guys as a fan of this football team and help

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>this game, and you want to see all these changes

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>how they come together out here. Now, my my job

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>is to make sure our team's ready play against Atlanta Falcons.

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not a fan of anything. My job is

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that this team is ready to play

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>when we go to play Atlantis, I'll say, but not

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 1>playing the streete we play against. We haven't. We haven't

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>gotten into that part of it. But you know, usually

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the damo is we're gonna play our Usually our ones

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>play eight to ten snaps in game one, it gets

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 1>extended in game two, you play probably a half in

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>game three, and then they don't play in game four.

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 1>So um, but a lot of that will depend on

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>how everything else falls into place. But Fridge a tight

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 1>ends and obviously with Arks being out for a while,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you over probably Yeah, I thought, well, it's one of

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>those where daily it's it's kind of a different guy

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>shows up, you know, Eric Thomlinson came on the last

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>two days, made some big catches for us in the

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>red zone. Um. All three of them have size. Uh,

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Andrew's a really sharp players, really pick things up very quickly. Um.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 1>And then justin Twoks is starting to really come along.

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 1>So excited to see those three guys. So one of

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the buy products is not being able to have Zach

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of games here in the preseason. We'll

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>give those guys an opportunity to show what they can

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>do because we we have three guys you know and

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>sell it, Urts and and Trey that we feel real

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>confident in. But you know, really trying to figure out

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>who that fourth guy is. And I think it's really

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a toss up. But all three of those guys have

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>at times getting like, wow, they got a legitimate show

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>of making this football team. Let's see how we can

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>do it on a more consistent basis. Offensive weapons acknowledge

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>when you signed this way book would be crazy and

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>tight end. Were you looking at all for guys who

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>were beating? Yeah, outstanding blockers along with maybe if you're

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>blocking more than receiving or didn't matter to you that.

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes when you get to the undrafted free

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>agents immediately after the draft, it's what's available, because you know,

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you say, hey, I really like that guy, and then

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>that it happens that everybody. Then someone takes him in

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the sixth and you're, God, I wish we were hoping,

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we get a chance to get him, you know,

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later in terms of where he is.

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>But um, you know, those are three guys we liked.

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>They all have specific qualities that you kind of like

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>in them. But it was just at that point in time,

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you're just what's available in uh and who are you

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to bring in? And with James Casey

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>not here, you know, I think they all felt that

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>it was an opportunity to compete and see the fourth

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>tight end could be on this team. Four guys are right?

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you four slash four? Was it alphabetical aphabetic or

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>numeracle alphabetical? All right? Are you looking forward to Yeah?

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>We are, you know, and they'll they'll all get an

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to play. Um, but you're excited to see what

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>those guys can do when it's when it's live competitions. Yeah,

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 1>it shows out here, but it's I think that kind

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 1>of validates it when you get in the game. So

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>here I'm one wondering do you think that the place

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>for your advantage calling up play and then young I

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>try not to bust people's chops when I'm calling plays,

0:08:55.840 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>but not being able to I think it helps, I mean,

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>but what we end up doing because of I think

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the thing that helps the most is we've got so

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 1>many reps and we get so many more opportunities to

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>be in play calling situations, if that makes sense. So

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we've had a lot of trial and error in terms

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>of how we do it because we get so many reps,

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in terms of how we train. I think that's the

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing for us employees pick it right, sure, yeah,

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>But the key is if you run a lot of players,

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.679
<v Speaker 1>you can call crappy ones, you know what I mean.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.199
<v Speaker 1>So if you if you're a team that only runs

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>fifty to sixty plays a game, you almost have to

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>hit on every single one of your play calls. If

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you can get eighty five to ninety play calls, you're

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna you know, twenty five thirty not very good calls,

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 1>but they tend to forget about them because the next

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 1>play got your first down. You know what I mean

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>now book on game day is I think I just

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>think your retention during the week, you know you can

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>have That's the fine line I think for any staff

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 1>when you're putting together a game plan is how much

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>is too much? You know, we need to have this,

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>we need to have this, we need to have this.

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>And then for us, you want to have confidence because

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>they drilled it. You know, if you go into a

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 1>game and you know, you listen, people say, we have

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty plays up for this game, Well,

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>how did you practice them all week on? You only

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>have X amount of days. We're getting fifty snaps three

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>days in a row. That's one fifty. Did you run

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>every play once you know? And did you run it

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to the right, did you run it to the left?

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>You know? And did you run it against that defense

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 1>that you were anticipating getting. So that's kind of the

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>chess matchup when you try to pare down a little bit.

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Just so our guys when we call things, they're prepared

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>for more than one or two offenses. I mean one

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 1>or two defenses. So contract too long time us funny

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>bad because they had in your news year. But those

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>two guys are outstanding leaders here both you know, Todd

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>offensively and Trent defensively, and um economically, it's it's the

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>only reason they're on another sideline. But those two guys

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>did absolutely everything we asked them here. Um, they were

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 1>two tremendous football players, two great Eagles. UM. So I'll

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 1>be excited to see both those guys see them, especially

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>because you know they're both the sumilar situations. Yeah. I

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>both those guys again, I thought did a great job

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 1>because they were older veterans in here. Um, they accepted

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>our staff and immediately when we got in here. Uh,

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>we're both probably two of the hardest working players we

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>had and on our team. You know, both in the

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>classroom and in the weight room. You know, it was

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>evident when you play that many years in this league,

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a reason for it, you know, And I think

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>it's their dedication. But there you know the quote unquote

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.719
<v Speaker 1>what everybody's looking for, two professional football player in terms

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>of how those guys approached it, and I think it

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>it really rubbed off on our younger guys. You know,

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you could ask BG, but I know how much he

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>looked up to Trent, and Trent kind of took him

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>under his wing and trying to bring him along. And

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing with Lane being next to Todd

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 1>for such a long you know, for the two years

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that he was with him, how Todd kind of taught

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Lane the rope. So they were both real good mentors

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to our younger players. Here we're saying, at does he

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>have limitations at all coming off his injury or seeing

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>he's been full going everything. The only limitation as a

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>head coach. Yeah, obviously you would rather he'd got some

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>game reps in the preseason. How does that set him

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>back in terms? You know, the biggest thing for us

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>in this situation, to be honest with you, is that, um,

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>it's something that we wanted to get cleaned up. So

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it's the reps weren't really important. I think it's in

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.839
<v Speaker 1>a long term thing. He's going to be a lot

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.719
<v Speaker 1>better for it. So we just wanted to get it

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the way. I don't know, but we just

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted whatever it is. Doctor Meyers said, it's gonna be

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks and things. He'll be fine by

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>the opener. So I said, if we got to shut

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>him down now, I'd rather shut him down now then

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>have to shut him down sometime in the middle of

0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the season, so thanks ro
