WEBVTT - George Kittle Evaluates 49ers Rookie Tight Ends | Press Pass

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Don't all jump at once. It's crazy when you heard.

0:00:07.600 --> 0:00:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Brock had been cleared. You guys had some incredible chemistry

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>last season and this year.

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Yes, continue just happy for him.

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, getting hurt sucks, uh, spinning like an entire offseason,

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 3>just grinding every single day, showing up and doing like

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>all the little like and just like focus on rehabbing

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 3>and not like being able to improve your game. It's frustrating.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>But you know, he did a great job. Our training

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 3>staff did a great job. And the fact that he's

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 3>cleared now and available to us, and I think he

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 3>gets to practice tomorrow. Hey, that's awesome for the Niners.

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, I thought our quarterbacks played well to day,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 3>so you throw another good quarterback in the mix, and hey,

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 3>now we had a plethora of quarterbacks.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Can't wait.

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Look like he's improved from the offs from last year

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to this year. What have you noticed specifically about his

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>improvement or where.

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Is he improved?

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 4>In your mind?

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Just today in this one practice. I know I'm dumb

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 3>teasing what I've seen since you know, last season throughout

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Otias today. I mean, you can just he has a

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 3>confidence to him, like he doesn't look at second guessing himself.

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't look like he's you know, thinking about the

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>plays at all. Plays call. He knows what it is.

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 3>He steps in the hall with confidence. And if you

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 3>can just do those things just gives you, you know,

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity to go be great because you're not thinking

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 3>about anything else.

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>So he steps up there. He has some good balls today,

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:21.279
<v Speaker 1>threw them a well.

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.639
<v Speaker 3>I loved on a third down pocket broke down, Escapes

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 3>gets the first down with his legs, Like, that's what

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 3>we wanted to do. We wanted to, you know, use

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 3>his athleticism to make plays. And you know, it's just

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 3>what he's doing. And I said, having fun. Confidence makes

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:34.279
<v Speaker 3>me happy.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>You enjoy talking about quarterbacks. Answer your questions analyzing quarterbacks.

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>That's great, Grant. Hey twenty twenty three, we're back, baby.

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh you know, I just had a quarterback controversy since

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I think my whole career. So yeah, no, I'm great

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 3>at it. Talk about him as much you guys want to.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll say nice things about everybody.

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>That's just what I do. Just keep him coming. You're

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna get the same damn answers.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I was talking about.

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>It was funny. I'm sorry that was funny.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Practice, and he doesn't want people to be too eager

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>protect against injury, that kind of thing. How does that

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 2>sick with you know, players like yourself, livers that want

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 2>to just get out and get after it.

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, for me, I've realized that it's hard to play

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 3>football though shoulder pads on. So these first four days

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 3>it's I'm pretty held back. I mean, like I'll go

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 3>run routes and stuff like that, but like I can't

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 3>really you know, run block the way that I want

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 3>to run block. Like you can get you know, you

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 3>do the fundamentals. You can step well, you can get

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 3>a good hand placement, but you can't throw your shoulders

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 3>into people and stuff like that. So songs we're practicing well,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 3>but you know, once your shoulder pads get on, I

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 3>think that's kind of more so when you got to

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 3>like really be reminding yourself that it's not a live game,

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 3>because you're gonna be so eager and so excited because

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, we had a great football team last year

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 3>that played at a high level, we practiced at a

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 3>high level, and which we want to get back to

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 3>that as quick as we can, so we you know,

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 3>don't start off slow. This season, and so everyone's you know,

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>eager to play football. But I think we're doing a

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>good job so far without the pads on. You know,

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 3>we'll see the next coming days. But you know, once

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 3>those pads come on, it'll probably be a bit more violent,

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 3>which is what I'm really looking forward to.

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 4>What was Kyle's I guess overriding message and the first

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>team meeting of camp, what he wanted to convey to

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 4>you guys about what you need to get done.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>We have a fantastic roster. You know.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Everybody tells us that we're a really good football team

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.119
<v Speaker 3>doesn't really matter right now, you know. So we got

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 3>to go out there and work really really hard every

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 3>single day, and you know, hopefully we can take a

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.079
<v Speaker 3>really good roster and make it a really great roster

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:35.839
<v Speaker 3>by our work ethic.

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Our intent every single day.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>And as long as we get out of this thing

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>healthy with a lot of hard work, we have the

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>ability to take that good, great roster and do some

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 3>really special things with it. So just get after it

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>every single day and just attack one day at a time.

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 4>One thing he didn't say the word sy did a

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 4>couple other guys.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Is that a word? That phrase that doesn't want to

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>be mentioned. You know, I'm gonna focus one day to

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>just win one game at a time, but you know,

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>win to day.

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 3>We just got to walk through left and I'll focus

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 3>on tomorrow and to markets. Here we are like two

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 3>hundred one days away. But you know, no one's counting

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 3>the new.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Ways of this roster. You guys have been so close

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and happen. He'll be how much.

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 4>Do you openly think about, like, hey, we need to

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 4>get this done with with this group because you don't.

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 1>Know how much how many more opportunities you can't get.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think that's something that our team is

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 3>very aware of. You know, we have a guy like, uh,

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, we have a lot of highly paid players

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 3>on this team who have earned that money and you

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.719
<v Speaker 3>can only pay so many guys, and we know that,

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, some of those guys are kind of at

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the end of their contracts, the end of the guarantees,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 3>and that's when kind of you know, things start to move.

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>So yes, we're very aware of that.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's something that you know, Hey, we

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 3>have a team meeting where we're like.

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, like this is it. But like our vet guys.

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>We understand that, you know, something we kind of talked

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 3>about no tas it will be mentioned throughout training camp.

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>We're aware of that. We know that, you know, we

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>have a fantastic team. We need to win games.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 3>It's on us, you know, it's on our amazing coach staff,

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 3>it's on our amazing players. Like we have to go

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 3>out there and win. So, uh, we're you know, we're

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 3>focused on that. But really we know that we just

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 3>work really hard, great effort. Uh, we can really you know,

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 3>take this roster the next level and that's all we

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 3>really focused on we get out of this. You know,

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 3>we feel like if we're healthy and working hard that

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, we can go toe to toe with.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>Anybody about it. Hey, what's up? How you doing.

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Something?

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>You talked about you among players.

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Like, it's just it's yes, we're we're aware that there

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>have certain guys that are maybe whether it's at the

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 3>end of their contracts and like the team might be

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 3>you know that happen until was a nine team. We

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 3>lost some key players, you know, they they had to

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 3>go to different teams and stuff like that. We're where like, yeah,

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 3>the business side of it, we understand that we have

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 3>a fantastic football team. We have a great core guys

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 3>and really important positions. We understand that some you know,

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 3>the whatever, the window whatever that is, could be closing.

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're gonna try our best to keep that

0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 3>window open as long as we possibly can. But we're

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>gonna try to sneak out some uh, you know, while

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 3>that window is still open according to everybody else, Like

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 3>we're aware of that now. I'm not going to say

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 3>like we didn't have a leadership council meeting. You know,

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 3>we're all just saying, hey, focus in. I think we're

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 3>pretty focused last year. I think we're pretty focus in

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one. I think we're pretty focused this year.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 3>And you know, hopefully our work and our intent are

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 3>reflected this year. And Deevil talked about the naturation process

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 3>of Brandon and I you and just how much he's progressed.

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a good that's a good phrase, maturation process.

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I learned a few.

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, what have you seen personally from him that's really impressed.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.559
<v Speaker 3>You know, our offense is really big on it's built

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 3>around like all of our routes and our concepts are

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 3>built on steps, the quarterback drop, and it's all timing

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 3>stuff and if.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>You're a wide receiver.

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 3>You see other wide receivers are out the league, like

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 3>they have a lot of freedom to a bunch of

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 3>crazy stuff in their route. Stuff that's not really our offense.

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>It is.

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Hey, quarterback is a five step, he's a five step

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 3>with a hitch. Your route is seven steps. You need

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 3>to hit seven steps on this landmark instantly. And and

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 3>so then when the quarterback throws a ball, like he

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 3>can look this way and when he turns, he doesn't

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 3>have to see you. He can just throw it and

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>he knows that you're gonna be right there. And younger

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 3>receivers in our offense, it takes him a while to

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 3>figure that out because they're like, oh, you know, I'm

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 3>just going out there to play catch, and it's like, no,

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 3>that's not our offense. Our offense is precise, Like that's

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 3>what you have to do. And it takes guys a

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 3>while to realize like the work ethic and the practice

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 3>and the attention to detail that goes into that. And

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 3>you can figure that out like going into you like

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 3>year three and then when he figured that and like

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 3>he's a great football player before that, but he figured

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 3>out like all the details that go into this offense

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 3>and then what he's done great at is he's figured

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 3>all that out, he's learned all that and now he

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 3>gets to add his own sauce on top of all

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>that stuff. And so now you see those cool plays,

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 3>a cool catches where he's ripping it away from people

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 3>and you just taking another step. And it's because he

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 3>has his foundation that this understanding, this awesome offense that

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 3>gives him the opportunity to go out there and just

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 3>wrap people up and look like a superstar, which is

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 3>what he is.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>George Cameron lost you and Gradon Willison along.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they're doing a great job talk about the

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 1>maturation process. Thank you. You know, I think they're both.

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 3>They took ot as they came back a week early,

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 3>spent some time with my Titans coach. You know, I

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 3>think Flury's done a great job with them. Eagerly harps

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>on them all the time. But you know the details

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 3>of the offense, understand it exactly what you have to do,

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 3>so you don't have to think about you know what,

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to think about it once you get

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 3>out there. And I think they both had a good

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 3>day today. They had some good OTAs practices. They started

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 3>stacking days. You know, it's easy right now, we don't

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.559
<v Speaker 3>shoulder pads on It's day one. We had sixteen reps

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 3>a day. I think most guys had like six to

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 3>eight reps, you know. So hopefully they just keep stacking.

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 3>They have good days, they stay in their playbook, and

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 3>they keep going.

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>They're both good football players.

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 3>They're both run good routes, they're both strong, they both

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 3>have they have great effort. So that's what you wanted

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 3>a football player. I think that's there.

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 1>So let's just see if they can be consistent with it.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 2>They remind you about your first time when you went

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 2>through your first training camp and you were talking to

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>you guys about that and where you were, like you're

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 2>asking the elements.

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was actually in the middle of the ocean,

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>hold on to a life raft. That's about where I was.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>No, I will say, I think the way that we

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 3>install now is a little bit easier. I think we

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 3>figured that part out. I think Kyle has done a

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:12.640
<v Speaker 3>really good job with that part of the offense, like

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 3>the how fitting everything together, and like we do a

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 3>really good job now, like, hey, these are our favorite

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 3>plays that we ran last year, and so we're gonna

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>focus on them and build out our playbook through them.

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 3>And so the way we install I think is yeah, No,

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 3>if it's Kyle, I think it's more efficient now than

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 3>it was seven years ago.

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, I think Flurry.

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's really good at instilling the details, installing

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 3>those details, and so I think they have this great

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>foundation to go off of it. So I think, you know,

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 3>my two rookie tight ends, they're definitely probably farther along

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 3>than I was on day one. And but like I said,

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 3>it's day one is easy. Day two is kind of easy.

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Day three is pretty easy. Get an off day, you

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 3>come back. Day four is not that hard. Day five,

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 3>first day pads. Everyone's excited. You get into day six, seven, eight,

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 3>that's when you figure out, you know, who wants to

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 3>play the game. And so, hey, I love all my teammates.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 3>I hopefully hopefully everybody does a great job. You ask

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 3>me again in a week.

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>To keep the window the window. Yeah, we'll go back

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>to back. What's up you guys?

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 4>Keeping the window open as as possible leadership something you've

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 4>always kind of taken pride in, But is it tocourage you?

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 4>They're like, hey, you know, helping younger guys can help

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 4>us achieve that, you know, getting guys up to that

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 4>level to make sure that windows.

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.080
<v Speaker 3>How many guys on the team, like after the fifth cuts,

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>like sixty sixty nine, right, I need all those guys,

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Like I mean, I don't care if you're on practice squad.

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't care if you're a rookie. I don't care

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.439
<v Speaker 3>if you're the R five on kickoff. Like I need

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.880
<v Speaker 3>every single person. I'm very aware of that. We encourage

0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, me and Fred stand here in front of

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>the rookies right before you go to the forty days

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 3>away at the OTAs, and and we're very straight with them, like, look,

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.079
<v Speaker 3>some of you are going to be here, some of

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 3>you aren't. The guys that are gonna be here are

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.600
<v Speaker 3>going to participate. They're gonna help us win. Like I

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 3>can't win without you, guys. We can't win with thirty

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.439
<v Speaker 3>good guys and twenty bad players, Like I need sixty

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 3>nine really good football players that want to win. They

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 3>want to bring it every single day, intent effort, like

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 3>that's all I really give a shit about. And so

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 3>if they want to bring it, they have the goals.

0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 3>The high standards. That's what we want. And it's really

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 3>fun because I think we have a great roster. Like

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 3>I said, we have a lot of guys who want

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 3>to be on this team, and so the battles route

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 3>camp are gonna be really fun to watch. And hopefully

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 3>by the time we get to the fifty three plus

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 3>the fifteen sixteen practice squad guys, we have a very

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 3>great roster that has an ability to win and go

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.440
<v Speaker 3>out and get things done.

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>You talked about the evolution of this team. How has

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>it tightened you all? Ooh thank you? Yeah A sorry

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>one more time. You got me excited of tightening you

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>throughout the years.

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 3>And what did you get from it this season to

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>get your ready from twenty three?

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's see the evolution of it.

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 3>You know what kind of started out is this like

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>we wanted to get a couple of guys in town,

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, train and then holy shit, forty five guys

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 3>showed up that first one. Forty nine guys did at

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 3>a high school, did some drills, round some routes, came

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 3>back to next year, moved to Vanderbilt, had eighty five

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 3>guys and really, you know, the way the steps that's

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 3>taken is is we kind of like at the end

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 3>of every one we send out, like you know, hey,

0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 3>what can we do better? And guys were really big

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 3>on they want to know, like, hey, what's your mindset

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 3>going into a football game? What's your mindset going into

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 3>a week of practice? Or hey, we want to see Travis,

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 3>will you talk about running the same route versus four

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 3>different coverages? And so like that's the you've just sorry,

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 3>we've grown into like listen to the players of what

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 3>they want to see and know. One of my favorite

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 3>things was we got to see It was awesome, like

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 3>vocal speakers. You know, Travis talked about a couple of things.

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Gronk showed up, he got to talk about his mindset

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 3>and what it takes to win every single day, you know,

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 3>good decisions, bad decisions. And one of my favorites was

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Jordan Reid showed up and he spent like twenty minutes

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 3>talking about releases, which is one of the coolest things.

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 3>And on his he had all these old videos that

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 3>he had recorded on his phone on his iPad from

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 3>when he was at Washington and it's just crushing people

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 3>and it's making people look so stupid. On his releases

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 3>and He broke them down too, into like three different

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 3>drills that you can do to use his releases. No

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 3>matter how athletic you are, and no matter how tall

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 3>you are, short, you are strong, you are fast, you

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 3>are and he broke it down for all these tight

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>ends to look and read.

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And then he sent all those.

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Clips out back to them so they can take that

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 3>home with them and you know, study them. It's pretty

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 3>cool stuff. And like, those are releases. I spent the

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 3>rest of the off season trying. So hey, if you

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 3>see a Jordan's Greed type release from me, make sure

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 3>you give him a shout out.

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 1>But that you know, I gotta watch.

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 3>Travis Kelce talked about he runs a lot of these

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 3>high crosses, like fifteen to twenty yard crossing routes, but

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 3>it's paired to the sale route, which is same thing,

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 3>so you fake in break out and he just showed

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 3>how he runs it versus different coverages. You know, it's

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the exact same sin Like the first ten to twelve yards,

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 3>dB has no idea what he's running and then depending

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 3>on the coverage is what the top of the route

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 3>looks like. And just seeing him explain that and be like, oh,

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 3>that makes a lot of sense now, so when I'm

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 3>watching it on tape, it's not like, Huh, why did

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 3>he do that? I now know why he's doing those things,
