WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:09.760 Throw the ball, and it was just good to see 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:11.119 him get back on the field and throw the ball. 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.680 The thing that we'll see as can he is there 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.119 residual effects of him throwing it, how much, where's the 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.040 soreness level and things like that, and we'll find that 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.160 out a little bit more today. So it gets bigger 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.240 as a week goes on. Chip Malcolm Jenkins talked about, 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.000 you know, after these two back to back blowout losses, 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.840 maybe it's better it would be better to slow down 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.160 a little bit this week and talk things over and 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.680 get some things corrected. What was your take on that, Well, 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.400 that's what we do every day. I think when we 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:41.240 meet individually and position meetings are coaches, we'll go over 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.800 every single play that was run against us in the 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.720 in the past game. So part of our schedule on 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:47.800 Tuesday when they get backer is the first thing we 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:49.960 do is we address the game that we just played 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.840 and we go over that in detail and in each 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.560 position group as a group and they go over everything. 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.720 So Corey runs a defensive back meeting and goes everything 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.520 with them. Then we transition and everything from a special 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.480 team standpoint. Then we come back and start the next 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.520 meeting after that about our insertion in terms of getting 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.880 ready to play the New England Patriots. So that's addressed 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.920 every Tuesday. We're not doing it in a team setting. Well, 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.160 I don't understand that. I think that was Malcolm's a 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.959 point was that in New Orleans they did it in 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:22.520 a full team setting when they went over reviewed film. Yeah, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:24.520 I think that why don't I do that? Because my 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.520 right card doesn't really care what our free safety does, 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.000 so it's not really efficient for map tobin to listen 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.280 what the instruction is going on with the free safety. 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.319 So I think when you want to get detailed in 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.840 terms of making corrections, it needs to be done in 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.880 the position group because those guys are paying attention to 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.200 what goes on at their position. So there's a lot 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.760 of different ways to do it to do it, but 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.200 for us, in our opinion, and I do it in 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:47.680 a lot of places. So I think everywhere I've been 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:49.960 it's been done that way. It's all been done in 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.240 the individual position room to the individual position player, because 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.920 it doesn't help a guy in this sport, unlike any 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.280 other sport, it's very not related. You know, goes on 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.080 for an offensive lineman. It's totally different than what goes 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.760 on for defensive back about defense, defense and offense, like, 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.320 I'm sure something that. Yeah, well we start every cornerback half. Yeah, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.040 when we do that, Billy, we start everything. So we 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.639 go from a team meeting and then we split into 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.079 offense defense. So then Billy runs, Billy has ten or 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.960 fifteen minutes with a defense, Pad has ten or fifteen 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.760 minutes with the offense. Then we split into individual position groups. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.760 He was saying that maybe it creates more accountability if 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.920 someone is getting called out in front of in front 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.760 of the entire team. I don't that's just not I 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.840 don't buy that. I mean, I think Corey does a 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.880 great job and calling out our guys in the dB 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.760 rooms and then not calling it out. It's instructing on 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.320 on what they did right and what they did wrong. So, um, 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.760 you know, if you need to get called out in 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.120 front of a group, then you're not getting things accomplishing 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.080 your individual position meeting. And that's not the case. Brought 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.600 that to your attention of other players voice concerns about 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.400 the way things are done around the meter or no, 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.080 and and what we do around here. It is kind 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.560 of what Pat did when he was in Cleveland. It's 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.400 what Billy's used to. You know, we've got a lot 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:55.799 of input from a lot of guys that have done 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.240 at different places. So um, you know, I haven't been 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.600 part of that. I don't under I think the efficiency 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.400 of time it doesn't Again, it doesn't help. You got 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.040 separate positions, and there's individual things. If a defensive lineman 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.639 doesn't place his hands right, how does that affect what 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.639 the corner's doing. I think our corners need as much 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.880 work and much instruction. I think our d line needs 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.520 as much work and as much instruction. I think he 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.520 can be more specific in doing it in terms of that. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.720 And everywhere I've been, I think it's been done that way. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.560 I think everywhere Billy has been, that's why it's been done. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.000 I think we're talking to Pat. I think that's why 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.239 it's done where Pat's been in his career. So I 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.000 think it's similar to what Andy did when he was here. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.600 So you know, that's just what we choose to do. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.160 Many you address the point that he made that he 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.840 said it was hard for him to be the leader 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.360 that he obviously likes to be without the accountability coming 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.720 down from the coach, because then he can't be a fact, 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.600 but I think when you ask him it does. So 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.880 our linebackers are being held accountable by coach Miner and 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.040 Demiko Ryots. You know, I think it's all done in 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.960 an individual position group, so, you know, I think everybody 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.200 should worry about their job and do their job. Then 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.120 to say, you know, I'm not doing this on my aspect, 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.760 but how come this guy's not doing that? I think 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.560 that's where you get into kind of fingerpoint and that's 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.920 not that's not conducive to being successful. I think everybody 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.600 needs a stretch and everybody needs help out. Um, we 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.560 all do. And I think the more you can get 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.560 specific with the individual player and detail that for the 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.600 individual player, it's better. But to be in a group 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.920 setting to say that I don't think the left the 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.440 left tackle made a mistake here, and I want everybody 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.040 in the room to know that that's doesn't help the 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.120 right corner. I mean, the right corner is gonna go okay, great, 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.240 that's good. Good. Let's I mean, I'm worried about playing 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.800 press man? Why am I? Why am I listen to 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.080 what I've had to going on? In a pass rushing 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.520 like this, when you're struggling and a team's going through 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.640 a rough time. How do you deep down stay within 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.960 what you truly believe in and say, I know this 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.160 is gonna work. I know this is gonna get us 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.159 out of this well, because I've seen it work before, 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.240 and I've seen these players be successful before, and I've 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.800 had that questions. I've seen us play really good football, right, 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.120 you know, up until the last two games, I thought 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.480 we played really well on the defensive side of the ball. Um, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.279 I think those guys have done a really good job. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.240 You know. That's where kind of the Tampa Bay game 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.120 was surprising. And we hadn't had their ball run on 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.600 us like that since we've been here, the three years 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:04.359 we have been here. So so I've seen the successful 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.800 them and then I've told those guys that I believe 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.600 in them because I've seen it. I's not believing them 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.120 because it's fake. I've seen them all play at a 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.120 really high level. We just need to play at a 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.479 high level consistently as a group. A lot of what 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.159 you've done here in terms of practices in the structure 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.320 of the day is about being efficient with your time. Um, yeah, 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.680 why why why don't you want you know, Is it 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.640 just you digital one guy's wasting time not getting as 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.760 much out of the day, or are you ever worried 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.920 about ending to day early for the players? I don't 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:34.880 think we ended. I mean they're here from eight to five, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.479 so that's kind of prototypical of what goes on. And 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.960 why is efficiency so so big to you? Well, I don't. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.920 I don't think anybody's a big fan of wasting time, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.640 do you. No? I mean no, so I guess I'm 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.080 not into wasting time. So yeah, that's the first time 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.240 I've ever heard anybody critique efficiency. So I'm asking you 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:57.200 why you I mean, why you've gone to such lengths 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.560 to I don't think we've gone to such lengths. I 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.200 think I think your job is to create an environment 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.000 where you have an opportunity to be successful. And you 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.760 can just say, all right, let's how long do we 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:08.040 want to meet for? I don't know. We got from 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.440 now till midnight. I mean that's not really efficient. What 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:11.840 do you got to get accomplished? I mean, I think 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.520 everybody has to have parameters. You have deadlines, right, I 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:15.960 mean you got to get a story in. I mean, 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.240 if you're if your editor said, you know, get me 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.360 a story sometime. You know, Okay, you're going to be 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.240 doing something that's probably not efficient. You know, if he 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.479 tells I need a story in by noon, I'm probably 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.560 gonna take care of the task at hand. And so 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.640 I mean not so okay, I hope that answer it 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.760 the two summers with the Patriots. What did you get 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:44.120 from from that? Besides obviously the typical preseason work. I 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.719 think that's what we got from it. I think people 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.200 try to read too much into it. You know, I 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.120 don't think we looked at it is. Hey, you know, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.560 I know when year three we're going to play them, 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.880 So let's try to figure out what they're doing or 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.320 how they're doing it. Because the rosters change and turn 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.080 over so much much that you can't say, hey, they 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.760 did a you know, watch what they're doing here with 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.120 this and in these schemes? Are those schemes because one 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.000 thing Bill does, it does a great job of is 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.040 implement a scheme that what players are available to him. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.280 So even if I mean, if we had a great 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.520 an understanding of what Julian Edelman does, that's great. He's 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.920 not gonna play against this, you know, So we when 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.600 we go to those sessions. It was just to get 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.200 quality work against really good um, a really good team, 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.800 you know, in an environment. I think we spend a 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.400 lot of time, myself and Coach Belichick and putting those 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.320 times together, and I think they were very, very efficient 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.440 in terms we got accomplished, a lot of great situational work, 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.880 got a lot of really good on good work. UM. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:40.800 We did a lot of things on separate fields at 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.960 the same time, so that again we were actually being efficient. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.239 You know, we didn't have you know, guys standing around watching, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.200 you know, their guys were working. Our guys were working. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.280 I really in those sessions, I didn't haven't much interaction 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:53.880 with Bill because he was on his field and I 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.640 was on my field. So it was, you know, we 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.160 thought there was great efficiency in that work, and it 0:07:58.200 --> 0:07:59.480 was really the good on good and that's what we 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.520 were trying to get of those things. Why do you 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.360 think it was important for you to tell the team 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.120 that you're not going anywhere? I didn't, And I think 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.040 that was what I was. I was actually having to 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.160 talk to him about the difference between perception and reality. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.560 And I used that as one example of the difference 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.560 between perception and reality. But I didn't have a team 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.840 meeting to say, let me tell you what's going on 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.440 with me. I mean that that was just an example. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.760 I've never been leading, and it's been reported. So that's 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.320 my point is that the difference between perception and reality 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.880 is that the reality is this, the perception is this, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.600 And here's a couple of examples of reality and perception, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.040 and that's all it was. So it wasn't a team 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.720 meeting to address anything, because that again, for me, to 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.240 have a team meeting to address anything would be inefficient. 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.640 Were some of the other examples? Were some of the 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:45.280 other examples. You gave a lot of reports that are 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.960 put in the media Michael Kendricks that we don't like 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.240 Michael Kendricks, he doesn't fit our prototype of what we're 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.120 looking for in a linebacker, and then all of a 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.320 sudden resigned Michael Kendricks. Well, what's reported is the perception. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.640 What the reality is is we think Michael's a great 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.520 fit in terms of what we do. So there's a 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.360 litany of them. The problem is, I think a lot 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.720 of people can get sidetracked with what perceptions are and 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.520 we have to really focus on the reality. And the 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.120 reality for us is the Lonegan Patriots and let's dig 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.320 into this and let's get after it and prepare for 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.720 playing against a really good football team. When the decision 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:19.640 to release Um last year myst offseason, just where we 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.040 were in the secondary and what we were trying to 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.440 get accomplisher, was it anything with us schematically in terms 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.880 of him fitting in in terms of what you guys 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.840 do back there, Now, I wouldn't say it was it 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:31.679 was that much. I just think we're billion and what 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.120 they wanted to do in a secondary and where they 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.160 were going, you know, and I think pat understood when 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.960 you look at when you look at the Patriot secondary, Um, 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.240 you know, they lost a couple of marquee guys during 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.400 the offseason and everything, like just the way they've been 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.480 able to like plug in and keep going, I mean 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.319 about I think there's some growth there. I think if 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.439 you watch Malcolm Butler play, you know, he started last 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.520 year as an undrafted free agent. Obviously he had the 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.000 maybe the play ever in the Super Bowl in terms 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.240 of what he'd done. But he's taken great strides as 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.440 a corner, and they've had him matched up in a 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.640 couple of games against Beckham, against some of the really 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:08.360 top receivers that they faced, and he's a competitive, aggressive 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.200 and has done a really nice job. And I think 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.040 maybe their decisions to let guys go because they felt 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.040 like their depth provided them with someone like that. I 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.120 think Logan Ryan on the other side, is someone that 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.960 has done a really, really good job, is another quality corner. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.520 And then I think McCardy may be one of the 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.160 best free safeties in the league. So I think they've 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.240 they've got some quality depth. They may not be the 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.240 name depth, but when you watch the tape and you're 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.000 evaluating players and you look at how Malcolm Butler's playing 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.400 right now, it's whether it's whether he has the premier name. 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.240 You know, some of the top corners in the league, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.839 but he's playing like that right now. So have you 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.760 seen enough from Sam Bradford to know that you know 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.000 he can be effective? He can be efficient in this 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.360 league for a long period of time. And I'm concerned 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.319 with the New England Patriots game, so I'm not looking 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.320 at that. I know Sam is a really good quarterback 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:56.880 and was playing really really well for US before he 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.679 got injured against Miami, and I'm excited to see how 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:00.920 he broke US is this week so that we can 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.240 get them back out on the field. Thanks, thank you, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:10.839 m H.
