WEBVTT - Kyle Shanahan: ‘We Do Whatever it Takes to Win’ | Press Pass

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>From the game. I'm sure we'll have some stuff tomorrow.

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:03.400
<v Speaker 2>But the only one that checked out from the game,

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Feliciano had a concussion never returned.

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, Well, did you talk to Rock about that

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:11.319
<v Speaker 3>one incompletion that he threw today?

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 4>And he could do better?

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's why we punted on that one drive.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.240
<v Speaker 2>That's I'm just joking.

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>He was great.

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 2>He was almost perfect, but I mean that was a

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>third and twenty something anyways, but he was great, hung

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>in there, made some big throws a lot of times.

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>That defense is real. They don't give you the big throws,

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>so you kind of got to pick him apart. And

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>he was very efficient at doing that.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 2>And when he had his opportunities for the big ones

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and he saw it right, made the right throws and

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>our guys came down with it.

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.599
<v Speaker 3>Christians had a bad game for you, But could you

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 3>tell something was special with it early on that you

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 3>want to hit the.

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Not really, I mean, he's the same to me as

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 2>he always is. I just there was there was space

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>out there, and you know, you know, Elijah being down,

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, Debo kind of not practicing all week gave

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 2>him probably a few more opportunities didn't have to split

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>it as much. And then when they're playing the zone

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, you never know what's going to go to

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the back. But uh, a lot of those he's last

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 2>in the progression and he's a hell of a checkdown option,

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>so worked out very well.

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Did you give him touchdown there at the end?

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I honestly, I had no idea until I just came

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in here that he had four touchdowns. I never know

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>that type of stuff. I was actually shocked, and now

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel kind of bad about it.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>I wish I tried, but.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes i'd snap at people and they tell me that

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 2>stuff in games because it it shouldn't matter until the

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>game's over. But he would have got five if if

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>we gave a chance to but did won for Juice,

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>then we had a they gave his quarterback sneak look

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and Brock took it, and but I wish I got

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>him five he deserved.

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>It seemed like they did well. I mean, you know,

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>all the fronts that they run.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>We got four guys in the line, five sometimes six,

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>and I thought we were able to stay balanced and

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>do well in the run game and in the past game.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>For the most part, I thought they protected Brock pretty

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 2>real good and I was real happy out there.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll see when I watch tape tonight.

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 3>You don't have a vote, and I know you don't

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 3>really care who the MVP is, but Ronny bets On

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 3>was never get it. But could Christian be the MVP

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:19.079
<v Speaker 3>of this league right now?

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I mean I don't.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure in the whole rest of the league

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>right now, but I thought he played like it last

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>year when he was here. So you know, if Christian's

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>so awesome, he helps us win every time he's out there.

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>But when you got a guy who can do everything,

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>you can always have unbelievable stats. But he shares that

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of other guys and we do whatever

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>it takes to win. So that's, to me, the thing

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>that would make it the hardest for him, just stats

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:45.399
<v Speaker 2>and how it works out.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 3>What do you think of your defensive performance tonight?

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought they had a couple of lapses. You know,

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 2>they started out real strong. You know, we had that

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>miss kickoff. I think they got him at the forty

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 2>their first score. It's on a short field. They got

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>that three. That was more penalty on the kickoff. The

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>most disappointing part was that last drive of the second quarter.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>We had a couple of chances to get him off

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the field and for them to go ninety nine and

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>all that time hurt. And then the next drive that

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.040
<v Speaker 2>they got, So they had about two drives in a

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 2>row that they we need to get better on. Besides

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 2>those two drives they didn't. They kept the mouthains on

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:19.839
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the game.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Did you have the should you have the defensive unit

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 3>out there?

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe?

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean we were ready for the fake punt. We

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't have all the defensive guys out there. I thought

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>our guys played it pretty well. But I thought that

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 2>guy ran hard. Uh, he ran hard. I thought we

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>had him stopped for about one one and a half

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it was fourth and two and he fell forward.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>We knew there was a chance of it, but you know,

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>we obviously you know they're gonna do it. We put

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>defense out and hopefully have a better result. But that

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>was a hell of a job by them, real risky

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>call and it paid off for him.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 3>What you say, you always call them as if they

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 3>might score. Is there a different confident So when you're

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 3>calling them mccaffery's.

0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Number, yeah, you just I mean, it's.

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't totally work that way where I just call

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>guys numbers. Just the way it all balances out. He's

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>a very good option in every single situation. I mean,

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>whether he's the first guy you're looking at and man

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>to man, or whether they're covering other guys and you

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>come to him last in zone. And when you have

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>a guy who can beat man coverage, when you've got

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 2>a guy who's got very good hands, and when you

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 2>get a guy who's extremely natural at finding the spots

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and zones, there's not many bad looks for him for

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>down in the first.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 3>Half that you went for it makes a pretty tough

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>throat to get it. You did that in week one. Also,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 3>how has he been able to earn so much trust

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 3>in you in such a.

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Short just your experiences with a guy, and he's extremely

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>consistent in practice since he's been here, and he's been

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the same in game. So what you guys see is

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>what we see, and it's what we feel, and it's him.

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 2>It's also the guys you're throwing it too, and those

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.559
<v Speaker 2>situations where you're on the field.

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 3>A lot of the players talked to about not wanting

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 3>a leaf points on the table. I know that was

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 3>the point of emphasis for you. So how encouraged were

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 3>you going five for five in the red zone.

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I was very encouraged. I mean, those guys are a

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>challenge down there.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what's so tough about them schematically, just how many

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>guys that they have and how much they choose to

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>drop into coverage, and especially with their personnel when they

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>have six guys in the line, So there can be

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 2>a challengeing spot to score. And we felt that going

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 2>into this game. So if you would have told me

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>we were five for five before, I would have been

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 2>extremely happy.

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 4>You acknowledged when you when you traded for McCaffrey and

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 4>I think it's nineteen nineteen days short of a year

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 4>rated four him ago? Did he that he and you

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 4>give him a lot of draft picks to get him.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 4>You knowledged that there's a risk always when you do

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 4>something like that. Could you imagine he would be this good?

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you hope? So, I mean you know he's

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that good of a player just watching him and stuff.

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think the whole league does.

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>But then when you get someone or when you're around

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>him personally, then you realize how much better he is

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 2>just because of the intangibles that he has and really

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>his whole makeup and how he works each week and

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>how he prepares for a season from what he's been

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>doing us with us and ot as all the way

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 2>to now. I mean, he's as much of a professional

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>as I've been around. And you know, trade you in

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>order to make trades, you usually have to give a

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>little bit more to get people, and then there's always

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a risk that they.

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Won't work out. There's injuries in this league. There's tons

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>of stuff.

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 2>But what you like to do is know who the

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 2>guy you're betting on. And he's a dude that I

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 2>think everyone would bet on so.

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Better. Yeah, definitely.

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, all all good players out there make their

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>teammates better. But my favorite thing about is it is

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 2>just how he carries himself too. That's when you're one

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>of the best players in the league, but you carry

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 2>yourself with the work ethic and the consistency of how

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.280
<v Speaker 2>important every little detail is. And he's harder on himself

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 2>than anybody is. It makes it fun to coach everyone

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>else too.

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Limited today, did you have to do it?

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, I mean he just he didn't really practice

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>all week, so it was a hell of him. Hell

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of a job just him getting himself ready to or

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>he could go out there and play. He didn't get

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>a ton of opportunities, but you know that it ends

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>up being a good thing because hopefully he's taken care

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>of more from this game. Can check out fine and

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll get a little better week next week. As a

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 2>former receiver, how amazed are you at the catch radius

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 2>of Ayuk and how it's grown this year? I mean

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I always look at Ayuk like he's one of the

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 2>taller receivers. I don't know if he is heightwise, but

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>his arms are what make him that way. He's got

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a great radius. You can put it anywhere around him.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And uh, Brock's got a lot of confidence in him.

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>And he took three shots to him down the field

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and he came down with all three of them. So Ba,

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>he's just getting better and better. And he's doing with

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>his quarterback too.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Can you imagine like if you didn't get mcgaffery.

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>No, don't ever say that.

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Almost didn't.

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's real close.

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's always especially when you decide on some

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>something and then there's you need a little bit more

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, man, we weren't going to do that?

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Should we do more? And it's it's always that huge debate.

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>That's why usually when trades happen with lots of good players,

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.119
<v Speaker 2>there's usually are one or two teams involved, because trades

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>are tough and there's always a huge risk, and when

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>those don't work out, it's not just how the player

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>don't work out, it's also you don't get those draft

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 2>picks back too, so there's always a gamble to it.

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>But no, life has been much better, all right, Thanks guys.
