WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I got to worry about. Yeah, and that's not what happened.

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>He sat next to mister Lurie on the plane on

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>the right home, they both sitting in first class, and

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>talked about the game and what happened with him. And

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>then I've talked to de Marco since then. Did he

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>talk to you? You know, if he was sitting next

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to mister Lurie on the plane, that's where I don't

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>he didn't go and request a meeting with the owner.

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where that came from or home it was.

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>But all of our players sit in first class, you

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>know when we traveled, and mister when mister Lourie travels

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is he sits in first class. So they were sitting

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>next to each other. So it went to ESPN and Edward.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think that occurred? And what was the

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>desired result? Why do I think stories go to the media?

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that got you know, and and I

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>really gotten the owner to complaint about his role. That's

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:02.279
<v Speaker 1>a great question. I don't have an answer for that.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>That he I've had a meeting with DeMarco. Yeah, I

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>mean he's he's frustrated because he didn't get the ball out.

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>On on Sunday, which most running backs are frustrated from

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that aspect, but he's not frustrated that we beat the

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>New England Patriots and we had a big win in

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>New England. So, um, I think everybody's at way. Every

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver wants the ball, every running back once at ball,

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>every quarterback would like to throw every single time we

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>have an opportunity. But um, the one thing I know

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>about DeMarco, he's about winning. So this week here those

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.559
<v Speaker 1>frustrations with you. Are you disappointed that he went to Yoder.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>He did not go to the owner. He sat next

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to the owner on the plane we sit. All players

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>always sit in first class, and when mister Lorry travels

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>with us, he sits there next to him. They sat

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>next to each other on the plane. So he didn't

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>specifically go to mister Lorry and say I need to

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>request a meeting. And disappointment, however, came out to the

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>owner before he did to you. He expressed disappointment to

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>me that he before that and he wasn't happy with

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>his amount of carries, and rightly so, I think everybody

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>wants to carry the ball in every game, So that's

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>not a I mean going forward. No, we we we

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.839
<v Speaker 1>said the same thing. He knew going into the game

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that we were going to play and we we had

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>a plan. We knew exactly what we were gonna do.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>We were gonna have Darren and uh and ken Ye,

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna play more, and he knew that going into

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the game. So it's it's you know, I think Deuce

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>does a great job with those guys. Every one of

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 1>our position coaches explains our rotation in terms of where

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>we are based at the end of the week, when

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>we understand who's healthy, who's who's going to be part

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>of the forty six if the game goes the way

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>it goes. The game didn't go the way from an

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>offensive standpoint, the way we wanted to go. It was

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>an outstanding third quarter, but we didn't have any really

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 1>snaps in the third quarter, so we were it was

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a different game from that aspect. We had an interception

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>return for a touchdown, so our defense goes back out

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>on the field. We had a part return for a touchdown,

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 1>so our defense goes back out on the field. So

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>there was a limited number of reps. We were in

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the fifty snaps on the offensive side of the ball.

0:02:53.280 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>So I knew it was frustrated. Yeah, I wanted to

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>talk to him after the game. I mean, when you win,

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>when you win a big game like that, we want

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.399
<v Speaker 1>to make sure everybody's on the same page. So, yeah,

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to talk to him. Yeah, I saw him out.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 1>What comes out in the meetor I don't really care about,

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you, So and it's not the

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>way it was. He didn't request a meeting with the

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>owner and sit down and talk with the owner, and

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't care. We got ten minutes, we

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>can talk about whatever you want to watch. I'm gonna

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 1>be out the practice field when we start stretched. So

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>when you signed, yeah, he yes? Is he the person

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you expected when you signed? Yeah? I think we've had

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>We've had uh different moving parts. Jason Peters has been

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>out for part of three games and missed it and

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>missed a game, you know what I mean, or came

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>back and you know, there's a We've had some moving

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>parts at UH. Gardner started the year force he was out.

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>We've had some there. Sam's missed some games. We haven't

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>had everybody on the offensive side of the ball in there.

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>We've had some drops at the receiver spot. Um, I

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>think everybody's contributed. We're not exactly what where we want

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to be offensively from many aspect. I don't think we're

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>running the ball. And I finish my answer before you

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>ask me the next question. Or do we could just

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>let you take the podium if you'd like. There we go,

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>great question. I don't think I think anybody offensively, we're

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>not where we've been offensively. I'm frustrated, all right, But

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>when you look at that game, it was a unique

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>football game. You score fourteen points in the third quarter

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>with an interception return on a put return. But we're

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>not having success on the offensive side of the ball.

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>But so be it. I'm pretty jacked up about that

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>because we just scored fourteen points against the New England

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Patriots in New England after being down fourteen. So sometimes

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that a game expresses itself in a lot of different manners. Offense,

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Matthews is still averaging take us yards

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>per carry, Darren's had successives in their environers in there,

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>why did that affected them? Well? There, it's all by game,

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>so you kind of look at it where we had

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.719
<v Speaker 1>success as a group in the Jets game. Um, the

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 1>ball didn't play in the Jets game, But there has

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 1>been times when Demarcos played really well for us. So

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>it's the same thing, the same message I've told our team.

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>There's been times where we haven't played very well this year.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>There's also times where we played really well this year,

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's why I always believe we have a good

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>football team. When we all play well, we're a pretty

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 1>good operations. So I've got confidence in all those guys.

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>You'll see all those backs again this week. They're all

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna if if Ryan makes it through the week and

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>can play, then he marriage playing time. Darren Merrit's playing time.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Can y'all marriage playing time? They all merritor playing time?

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>When you signed, then why give that contract to a

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>players playing fourteen snaps a game? He played fourteen snaps

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>in this last game, because again we had fifty snaps overall,

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have the third quarter that we normally have

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>when we go in every other game we've had, he's

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>been the leading ball carrier. So we're gonna make game

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>plans this week that's going to help us win the

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills game. And that's not much else I can

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>say about that. I believe with a player that has

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty or more carries in this season,

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>he is last in average yards were run. Why is

0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>that the case? Because we haven't been successful overall offensively

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the way we'd like to be should kind of run

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>place that DeMarco had success within Dallas and have any

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>been implementing here. They were a stretch, they ran some

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>counter counter sweep, which we run some of that. Um

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I know he had forty two carries from the gun

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>for two hundred and six yards or for a four

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>point eight yard average, so he's he had success running

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>out of the ghan, he had success running from under.

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they were they were a good football team,

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>lusher and they were They did a really nice job

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what they were doing offensively. But it's

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a different dynamic. You got a double we got a

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver outside that's gonna get doubled done every play

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>because he may be the best receiver in the game.

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And Dez Bryant, you got a Hall of Fame tight end.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a it's a different dynamic in terms

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of how people defended Dallas in terms of how people

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>defend us. So that's just to compare what he was

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like in this to where he is now. I mean,

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>it's you've got so many different moving parts. I don't

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.559
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not a I don't think the comparison fits

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 1>in any aspect of the amount of under center as

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 1>opposed to in the shock. And I think the stat

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>was that he ran from ninety one percent just when

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback was under center as seventeen percent now and

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>he seems you look comfortable with the quarterback under center. Yeah,

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but in college he ran from the gun every single snap.

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>So how many snaps did he have there? And he

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>knew coming in, just like we knew coming in what

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>we were gonna do. We never had any discussion that

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>we were gonna change our system, you know, the only

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>discussions we had. This is why I like De marco Is.

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>We all talked about winning when he came here on

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>his visit, and Ryan Matthews was here on his visit,

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>when when De Marcoka, they both knew exactly what we

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>were trying to get accomplished here, so exactly it will help,

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think that the one thing he may

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>be the most explosive one we have there. You know,

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>when you watch the run against the U you know,

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>with the growing the run against the Carolina where he

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>hits the home run from from sixty, you know, and

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, he's got that kind of extra gear.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I think then all all of those guys, you know,

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that that helps. But we also know, you know,

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.559
<v Speaker 1>you can't saddle him up and go with him because

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>he's been out for an extended period of time and

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>we're we're using him back into kind of where he is.

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>But anytime you can get a player of Ryan back,

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it should help us on the offensive side

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.120
<v Speaker 1>of the ball. We just had it. We were trying

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to get another guy in here. We're an outside linebacker.

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>We decided we really liked means. We had him in

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>here for a workout. Um, we were afraid Houston was

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>going to put him up, uh, and then we wouldn't

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>get an opportunity to get him. It's kind of that

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>time of year where people are kind of looking at

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>practice squad players and which guys actually go up, which

0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>guys come down. It was about this time last year

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>we ended up getting Joe Coupling from Detroit kind of

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in a similar situation. Um, he's a guy we kind

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of coveted, and then we had to have a roster's platform,

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>so we were over at receiver. We had seven receivers

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>on the fifty three and we usually carry six on

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the fifty three. Sought Tyrod Taylor the way he's played

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>this year, and what does it duel for quarterback too?

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>For an offense obviously can run the ball, but the

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>overall offense, what does he do. It's it's a different dynamic,

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, And it's similar to playing not that he's

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the same player as Cam because Cam's obviously different body type, whatever.

0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>But when that quarterback has the ability to run, you know,

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's it's different. It's different and how you cover because

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>now if if he's if you play a lot of

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>man under too deep man under where the defensive backs

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>have their backs turned to the quarterback and it's third

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and ten, if they're all covered, he can tuck the

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>ball and run for the first down, and you can

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>start to you know, now you're rush lanes. The rush

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>lanes against Tyrod are different than the rush lanes against

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 1>the Tom Brady just because you're not worried as much

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 1>as Tom taking it and tucking it and run for

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a first down. But you really have to be concerned

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>with Taylor in that situation. They do have some design

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>quarterback runs um you know, similar not similar, but it's

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>like facing Carolina because they have design quarterback runs. They'll

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>run some zone read um where you now have to

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>do you tackle the back. If you tackle the back,

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback is a threat on the perimeter. Other teams

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>run some of that, but the quarterbacks not as much

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of a threat. So you feel like you can tackle

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the back and then rally to the quarterback. So it

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>makes you play a little bit more assignment defense on

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>going into a game like that because of his ability

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>to run the ball, and he can really hurt your

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>run in the football bas
