WEBVTT - George Kittle Recaps Win Over the New England Patriots | Press Pass

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.320
<v Speaker 1>And that was the best catch.

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Your touchdown catch was the best that he probably had

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 2>ever seen with his own two eyes.

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Did he feel like that to you?

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>That's coming, that's saying a lot coming from Trent Williams.

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 2>He's played a lot of football, so uh, yeah, it

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 2>means a lot.

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, he's played a lot of football.

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 2>So if he says that's really good, it makes me

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>really happy.

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh dear, it felt fantastic.

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm just uh, wasn't really confident in the play call, uh,

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 2>because that was something we had called originally from like

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 2>way farther out, and when he called it from the ten,

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I had a double chat with Brock to make sure

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 2>it was the right play.

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, all right, man, just throw it.

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>And he just threw it. So it was pretty fun.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Bronk's always been trusting you guys, but he's

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 2>even putting more trues, Like I was gonna put the

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>ball up there and let my guy make.

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Him happening more.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think just watching like I mean the

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>deep boy threw to Juwan, like he just has trusting

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>us to go out there and make plays. And I mean,

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>we have a lot of really talented football players. Some

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>we've said for a long time, whether it's deebo a

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Yuk Juwan Me McCaffrey, jew, we have a lot of

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>guys who can catch a football. So for him to

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>go out there and have that trust, I think just

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 2>reinforces that fact that we have a lot of playmakers

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>that he just trusts interceptions or the offense. He's pretty good,

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 2>isn't he? Goodness gracious, I was just bumped. I was

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.479
<v Speaker 2>actually frustrated at first because he had as many points

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>as the nine Ers offense did to start the game.

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'm glad that we got some more points on

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the board. But yeah, just a heck of a play.

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully he hit like seventeen miles an hour. H. I

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he did, but I'm pumped for him

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>that that was an amazing play. I'm sure you need

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to see a couple of replays. But where would you

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>rank your catch on your career?

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Websins dumb. I might have to get back to you

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on that. I have no idea.

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll call it top five though probably I have no idea.

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I just finished, man that that play is usually further out.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>What was your doubt about just being too crowded. I

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>mean it was it was like an out and up

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that we had originally called from like the forty yard line,

0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>and so I thought it was gonna be a much

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna run it from farther out. So running an

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>out and like a twelve yard out and up from

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>the ten yard line is a little aggressive, But what

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 2>a great play call.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>When it works. Man. As you know, Brock's very humble. Brock.

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the way he signs his autographs and takes up

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the entire football every single time doesn't really make it

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 2>seem like that.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Someone quote him on that when he was talking about

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>his athleticism. He hasn't better ten yards but the depot

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>and Christian.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So he didn't say me exactly, thank you. I mean

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that the fact that he you know, I think.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 2>You know he does, but I mean, I think he

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>constantly proves that he does have that athleticism, whether it's

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 2>the NFC Championship game or today, like when he can

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>scurry that the is that that's a right word, right,

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 2>when you can scurry for a first down on third down.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean I love that because most of the time

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you have one of our you know, skilled players getting

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>double teamed and then they're trying to take away everybody else.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>And if you just let Brock run, it's really good

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>for the Niners just to keep us on the football field.

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I feel like you're playing with extra focus after the

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>tough two losses.

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes and no. I thought we started off well.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, I want to score touchdowns, so like getting

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>two field goals to start the game, we're leaving points

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 2>on the board, you know. Then obviously Fred had an

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>amazing play to you know, get a touchdown, and I

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>think we were rolling there for a little bit. But

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in the second half, I think we have a lot

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of things that we need to clean up. We had

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>like three drives that weren't great. We were on the

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>field for a while, but you know, they weren't fantastic,

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and those are things that we have to execute and

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 2>stay on the field and you know, not fumble it not,

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, whatever it was.

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't watched the tape, so I don't really see it.

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>But I just felt like we were playing from behind

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit there in the third and fourth quarter.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>So we need to clean that up, especially when we're

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>playing like very dominant teams that have like really good offenses.

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Not saying the Patriots don't, but our defense was playing

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>very good against in the day.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>George say, all right, start over the defense that.

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>The offense feel that you guys can understand, go ahead and

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 2>do what you want to do the.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Rest of the game.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I love it when our defense plays well. It makes

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.679
<v Speaker 2>it takes a lot of the pressure off the offense.

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Off the offense, that's funny. It just takes pressure off

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 2>us when our defense, you know, you know they're gonna

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>go out there and get a stop, get a turnover,

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>which they did a lot of that today.

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>So it gives us.

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Confidence in them that they're gonna get stops and allows

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>us to just not feel that pressure as much. I

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 2>would say, let you guys were as good as anybody

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and better than anybody in the red zone.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 1>Ye anything you put your being on. Maybe why that

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>hasn't clicked so far?

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 2>No, not necessarily. I like running the ball when we

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>get in the red zone. I'm a huge fan of that.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I think I think teams are doing

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a good job about countering a lot of stuff we

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>want to do on offense. I mean, you saw the

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Pages do a lot of six on the line today. Uh,

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 2>kind of daring us to throw and sometimes we guess

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>right and sometimes we didn't. But you know, just with

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>whether it's a runner or pass, and just things that

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>we need to look at clean up. And I know

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that coach Chanahan is gonna do a really good job

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>of being brutally honest with us about what we need

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 2>to be better at. Went for five years to carry,

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but it seemed like you guys were blocking.

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>It up for him up front.

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I felt really good about it, you know, I thought,

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>are our outside guys, whether it's tight ends or you know,

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 2>juice was really good. I thought we were flowing really

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>well today with a lot of stuff with the wide

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 2>receivers kind of bluffing on the ends too.

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>I thought they did a great job.

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 2>And when you have like a hat on everybody except

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>for a safety, the JP is a good enough running back.

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>He's playing great, but he's a good enough player to

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 2>see that and like set up blocks and then cut

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 2>back inside. And he's just done a fantastic job of

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 2>that in every game this season. Might be a little

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 2>bit questionable. Do you go up to Kyle afterwards? Absolutely not, no, no,

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 2>absolutely not. I'll you know what he's in the zone.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to take him out of that zone.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 2>He can talk to party about it. I'm not questioning

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>to play a colle just like yeah, it's more like curious,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>like interesting, but I mean it is what it is.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 2>It was ended up being a touchdown, so a great

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>play call.

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>How are my ribs? Why says who?

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Who is the rumor from?

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>You?

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Guys are just incredible fantastic, Thanks guys,
