Speaker 1: Hello, we all have to warm up.
Speaker 2: Obviously, you know Trent not here yet. You know what
Speaker 2: kind of impact is that having the room here in
Speaker 2: the early days of training.
Speaker 3: Camp, just to you know, other guys have step up.
Speaker 3: Jalen gets his reps, which he would this time of
Speaker 3: year anyway, Trent would usually take a day off and
Speaker 3: off season program. Usually Jailing gets all the work. So
Speaker 3: unfortunately it's always been a problem for Jalen. He hasn't
Speaker 3: had a chance like to compete other positions because he's
Speaker 3: always kind of filled in for Trent in this time
Speaker 3: of year. So obviously you're worried about the guys that
Speaker 3: are here, and Jay and the guys are working really hard.
Speaker 3: It's been a good start to camp. First couple of
Speaker 3: days have been good and it's been good to see kind.
Speaker 1: Of warm up.
Speaker 2: Does a guy who's played fourteen seasons like Trent really need?
Speaker 2: I mean, when would you want to see him come
Speaker 2: in to get ready for the Jets.
Speaker 4: As soon as possible?
Speaker 3: I mean the reps that he takes now are valuable.
Speaker 3: I mean I think he usually practices two of the
Speaker 3: We do everything kind of in three day blocks and
Speaker 3: before we take a day off and usually he practices
Speaker 3: two of those three.
Speaker 4: Days, and he usually takes the full amount of the reps.
Speaker 3: I think maybe one of the three, one of the
Speaker 3: two he's practice one of me doesn't do individual whatever
Speaker 3: the routine was the last few years, knock on wood
Speaker 3: for him, he's remained relatively healthy through the course of
Speaker 3: the season, has been pretty fresh at the end of
Speaker 3: the season.
Speaker 4: So, but these reps are all important.
Speaker 3: I think it has been with him for years, has
Speaker 3: been you know, yes, as a fourteen year vet. Any
Speaker 3: player I've had that gets up and up in years.
Speaker 3: They still need work. Everybody does. I mean, you just
Speaker 3: the great every position. You know, great basketball players still
Speaker 3: go out to shoot free throws. They still practice practice.
Speaker 3: You still have to practice. You just have to limit
Speaker 3: the amount of exposures you give them and the amount
Speaker 3: of pounding that their body takes.
Speaker 4: And that's all we try to do.
Speaker 3: Does it ramp up more with once pads come on,
Speaker 3: that's where you really kind of get going. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: obviously the ramp up has value from league standpoint as
Speaker 3: far as getting guys, you know, transitioning back in.
Speaker 4: I think it has value to the less you do
Speaker 4: in the off season.
Speaker 3: The more you need to do pre There's just a
Speaker 3: lot of there's it's a like, as our strength coach,
Speaker 3: it's a moving target right now as far as how
Speaker 3: how to actually do this thing because it's changing, and
Speaker 3: then if they go to the two preseason games, it
Speaker 3: changes the whole dynamic again.
Speaker 4: So there's just a lot. There's a lot to it.
Speaker 3: So as far as getting up any of the guys ready,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's everybody.
Speaker 4: It's unique. It's really cool.
Speaker 3: It is cool because it's different, right all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: Now John Fliciano versus Dominic Pooney versus this guy. You know,
Speaker 3: you have all these different guys and how do I
Speaker 3: get them all ready to go and and give them
Speaker 3: what they need to be able to be ready to play,
Speaker 3: yet keep them healthy which is our number one priority,
Speaker 3: which is to make sure you have availability of players,
Speaker 3: but at the same time prepare them to play a
Speaker 3: style of football that's very physical, fast the way we
Speaker 3: do things, and it's a challenge that Jordan Mason has
Speaker 3: improved a ton since the Christian first got here.
Speaker 4: We've always seen that Jordan's a good ball carrier, but
Speaker 4: there's so much more to play running back where have
Speaker 4: you seen the improvements?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all those, all of the above. I mean he
Speaker 3: has become a better ball carry. He was just such
Speaker 3: a hard running, strong, physical, tough guy that you know,
Speaker 3: he gained yards. Sheer willed himself in the yards. Now
Speaker 3: he's understanding the playbook better. Bobby Turner coming back into
Speaker 3: building has been not that everything was wrong with a
Speaker 3: it's just he and he, the two guys have clicked,
Speaker 3: you know, and so that's really helped. And then he's
Speaker 3: just matured as a player. He's had a chance to
Speaker 3: run more routes. He's had a chance to watch Christian
Speaker 3: run routes. I mean, it's a huge benefit to not
Speaker 3: only be coached well, but then have a guy.
Speaker 4: That's premier doing it.
Speaker 3: Go like, oh, I can see how that's done a
Speaker 3: little bit better than It's a guy that I'm right
Speaker 3: here with and I know the guy. So it's helped
Speaker 3: him in every facet. He's really really taken off. It's
Speaker 3: really exciting to see.
Speaker 4: You get one on one, which is, you know you
Speaker 4: all make a ton out of it. How much do
Speaker 4: you actually make at one on one? Adult? I get
Speaker 4: really mad at one on ones.
Speaker 3: Not that I don't guys don't like him because they're
Speaker 3: saying like, it's unfair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it's unfair.
Speaker 3: I get mad because I didn't realize that front office
Speaker 3: and media, like in Miami in two thousand and four
Speaker 3: three when I was there, I remember what year was,
Speaker 3: four and all of a sudden it be a tally
Speaker 3: in the next day's paper of who wanted who lost
Speaker 3: the one on once and the guys were furious and
Speaker 3: I'd put him out there. If I threw somebody out
Speaker 3: there for three extra reps, you need to work on X,
Speaker 3: Y or Z, and they get beat and they go
Speaker 3: coach you just.
Speaker 4: You know, and now we're yelling it. It was ugly anyway.
Speaker 3: My thing is you go there to work on something
Speaker 3: that the one on ones is a great opportunity and
Speaker 3: a huge disadvantage for you, a huge say this date,
Speaker 3: I don't care if you get beat every day for
Speaker 3: three weeks.
Speaker 4: You're working on something, right.
Speaker 3: Certain guys have weaknesses and they're gonna go work on
Speaker 3: that weakness and that they may get just get pounded
Speaker 3: for a while because they can't get and then they say, well,
Speaker 3: I have to survive the drill. That don't survive the
Speaker 3: drill get better. Who's keeping track of Oh, Bosa beat
Speaker 3: Trent or Armstead killed this guy or Banks can't block
Speaker 3: anybody in one on ones. And you know, some guys
Speaker 3: aren't very good in one on ones, but yet in
Speaker 3: the within the setting of an offense.
Speaker 4: Or protection, they do a heck of a job.
Speaker 3: And yeah, they may show up every now and then
Speaker 3: in one on one, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: it's a it's more of a thing for me to
Speaker 3: work on it. It's hard to get the rest of
Speaker 3: the building to understand that. Not gonna understand is that
Speaker 3: it's the only really live work that you get to see.
Speaker 3: So you should place some sort of you know, stock
Speaker 3: in it.
Speaker 4: But it isn't.
Speaker 3: It shouldn't because you have no idea what I've told
Speaker 3: the guy I wanted to work on that day, and
Speaker 3: you're like, oh god, he stinks, and yeah, he stinks
Speaker 3: because he's working on it. Yeah, he's got to get better.
Speaker 3: So that initial plan, if you look at the two
Speaker 3: guard situations you mentioned first stringer, he wants his job,
Speaker 3: But how do you how do you look at that
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 2: As far as what you want to see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you you can tell me. It's great.
Speaker 4: It's great, and it's hard.
Speaker 3: It's not like we're gonna be able to just I think, say,
Speaker 3: this job belongs to you know, John, or this job
Speaker 3: belongs to Spencer, or this job belongs to Poony or
Speaker 3: or whoever you know. By the thing this all shakes out,
Speaker 3: who knows maybe the right or left guard at the position.
Speaker 3: I think Banks has set that right guard spot. I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna say it's like a wide open competition, but
Speaker 3: it's gonna be interesting to see because there's three good players,
Speaker 3: all with different different things that they do well and
Speaker 3: different dynamics to the whole thing. I mean, do you
Speaker 3: really want even if Poony is the best player. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's Poony or Puny, I don't remember, but anyway, Poony,
Speaker 3: I'll say Poony, it sounds better.
Speaker 4: Is that the guy?
Speaker 3: Do you want him out there opening day Monday night
Speaker 3: football against the Jets?
Speaker 4: You know, if he's the best player, you do. But
Speaker 4: like that's a that's a bright those are.
Speaker 3: Bright lights, right where as opposed to Spence and and
Speaker 3: uh and and John have done it. Uh.
Speaker 4: So there's that whole dynamic and it's.
Speaker 3: Just who's playing best who's playing well, how the how
Speaker 3: people are you know, you gotta look at John Fliciattle
Speaker 3: is an aging player to say what's best for him
Speaker 3: in regard to trying to make a tw week Hopefully
Speaker 3: there's a week, you know, eighteen nineteen twenty. You know,
Speaker 3: if there are those weeks at the end of the other,
Speaker 3: then how do you get him there? And and what's
Speaker 3: that look like this time of year and into the season.
Speaker 3: Same thing within you know, spencer and putting, it's all
Speaker 3: the same. So it's a kind of a fluid situation
Speaker 3: right now and it's good to have. Unfortunately, is not
Speaker 3: as much time to develop guys or have a competition,
Speaker 3: but I think it's good.
Speaker 4: What does he bring.
Speaker 3: He's a he's a he is a you know, he's
Speaker 3: a strong, big body.
Speaker 4: He just has a lot.
Speaker 3: You know, he's no bigger than most of them, but
Speaker 3: he's a he's a he's a very he'll set the
Speaker 3: pocket real well. He plays with great anchor. He's extremely intelligent.
Speaker 3: He's he's really really a good player.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: He's he's a special guy and he's just not done
Speaker 3: the position for very long. And with our system, it's
Speaker 3: a little bit of a change for him. So there's
Speaker 3: there's going to be a learning curve, but he's got
Speaker 3: some real stuff to work. A lot of our guards
Speaker 3: in our system, they tend to be quick. That's where
Speaker 3: Banks is a great advantage of those bigger guys inside.
Speaker 4: Do help.
Speaker 3: After the Super Bowl for missing the block or missing
Speaker 3: the assignment on Chris Jones, Well, what can a mental
Speaker 3: mistake like that do?
Speaker 2: Or how has he bounced back from that?
Speaker 4: What do you see from him?
Speaker 3: Oh it's brutal. I mean, you know one of my
Speaker 3: favorite lie. I remember when in coaching meetings. Sorry, here
Speaker 3: we go again, coaching means. Over the course of my life,
Speaker 3: we've had coaching meanings and you're.
Speaker 4: Like, uh, it's only it's trying, not gonna happen. Maybe
Speaker 4: one or two times it shows up. Oh well, I'm glad.
Speaker 4: You're okay it shows up once or twice. You tell
Speaker 4: me one it's going to show up, and I'll be
Speaker 4: okay with it.
Speaker 3: If it doesn't show up in a Super Bowl in
Speaker 3: overtime on second down with a play that could have
Speaker 3: been a potential big play, Right, you don't know when
Speaker 3: it's going to come, so it has when it occurs,
Speaker 3: has huge ramification.
Speaker 4: You know it weighs on you. I mean every.
Speaker 3: Single thing that I did the night before the game
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl, to talk to my players, to
Speaker 3: prepare him that week, to get him ready to go.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get choked up on the sideline. We picked
Speaker 3: this game to not play our best game, but it happens.
Speaker 4: It's a game.
Speaker 3: You go out and you roll it and you go
Speaker 3: play it. And we didn't play very well and he
Speaker 3: makes that mistake. I struggle with it. It's my fault.
Speaker 3: I prepare him to play. It's my job to get
Speaker 3: him to do it, and yeah, he didn't. It's my fault,
Speaker 3: and he didn't have it down. Banks missed a similar
Speaker 3: thing earlier in the game. Nobody talks about that one.
Speaker 3: It was a pressure and I think he got the
Speaker 3: ball out, but it wasn't covered good enough, or if
Speaker 3: it was, they didn't get it. Because if they don't
Speaker 3: get it, I can't just say their fault, not mine.
Speaker 3: Heck no, man, I'm responsible for those knuckleheads, and those
Speaker 3: knuckleheads don't do it right. I'm the knucklehead. I'm the
Speaker 3: guy that's not doing the job right. I'm the guy
Speaker 3: who's gotta get him to do it. But I can
Speaker 3: promise you as much as it weighs on me, it
Speaker 3: weighs on him more because he's the one with the
Speaker 3: bright light on him. Nobody took the camera to me
Speaker 3: and said, there's the idiot that didn't get ITIM prepared properly.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: That's that's so it's it's hard, and coming back from
Speaker 3: that has been hard. And the conversations with him, you
Speaker 3: know at the end when he came from office after the.
Speaker 4: Game, I mean it was it was hard. It matters.
Speaker 3: This guy doesn't just go, oh, miss my assignment. No,
Speaker 3: I mean, so once in a lifetime opportunity, you don't know.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, it.
Speaker 4: Was tough on all of us, and tough on him
Speaker 4: in particular. But he's been great.
Speaker 3: He's come back, bounce back well and done Really he's
Speaker 3: done a good job and I love the guys. He's
Speaker 3: doing everything right to hopefully fix a lot of those
Speaker 3: those those things that went wrong.
Speaker 2: What you mentioned last year. Sometimes you don't know what
Speaker 2: a veteran can do in your system until you have
Speaker 2: him in the system, and then you figure it out.
Speaker 2: Hubbard run In is like an eleven year guy. He
Speaker 2: was doing tickets, some left tackle riptures, big, what is
Speaker 2: do you think he can make the transition here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say this is that. Okay, it's a typical
Speaker 3: I've said to you before. I think that there's you
Speaker 3: see things on tape. There's little tiny things you'll see
Speaker 3: that you'll see the transition. You'll say, oh, I can
Speaker 3: see this in him, or I can see this in
Speaker 3: this guy, and you'll say, those are things that translate
Speaker 3: to our system.
Speaker 4: Now will he do it consistently in our system? Right?
Speaker 3: I saw things with Feliciano in a certain part of
Speaker 3: his game. Hubbard, you see it too, because Tennessee did
Speaker 3: have some similarities. There were some similarities. You could see
Speaker 3: more of what we do in Hubbard. And then here's
Speaker 3: the catch all. Just Is Brunskill was there, and Dan
Speaker 3: Brunskill's a Kyle Shanahan favorite. And so if Brunskill gave
Speaker 3: him the check and say this guy can do it
Speaker 3: for you guys, Kyle was like, yeah, Bronskill says we
Speaker 3: can do it.
Speaker 4: I don't care what you say. This guy's playing for.
Speaker 3: So Danny said the guy was actually really good at it,
Speaker 3: and he felt was a good transition. Even though he
Speaker 3: didn't exactly coach him in Tennessee like we coach him.
Speaker 3: Dan felt like the guy could make the transition, and
Speaker 3: so whatever I thought went back seat to brunskill.
Speaker 4: But we think the guy.
Speaker 2: Can do it. You've been doing this for a little while.
Speaker 3: When you come in a training camp.
Speaker 4: And you so kind a little while.
Speaker 3: I'm in the camp and you see this group of guys,
Speaker 3: what do you see that's different from the groups that
Speaker 3: you've coached in the bast Every year is different. That's
Speaker 3: what's so great about it. No matter what, we are
Speaker 3: building this thing towards year. You know, Kyle always talks
Speaker 3: about previous years, and I'm always I get it. There
Speaker 3: have been a lot of people who have been here
Speaker 3: a long time, but a lot of these guys have it.
Speaker 3: It's just every year is a new dynamic. What I
Speaker 3: like about this group of guys is I think we've
Speaker 3: got a couple young guys. These guys have been fringe guys.
Speaker 3: It's really exciting to see how Zi Kel BArch, Poony Kingston,
Speaker 3: you know, not the other guys down the line, how
Speaker 3: they're going to develop. What happens with our veterans, you know,
Speaker 3: how does Brandon Parker, Do we get a squeeze, you know,
Speaker 3: a little more out of him or out out of Hubbard?
Speaker 3: Does Jake Brendle continue, Does mckivitz take a step and
Speaker 3: become mean, there's just so many little things within this
Speaker 3: Banks is coming into a huge year for himself and
Speaker 3: his future, and all these things weigh on a guy.
Speaker 3: That's why it's a different dynamic all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: you know, Feliciano's They're all in a different place than
Speaker 3: they were a year ago, so each guy presents a
Speaker 3: different channel.
Speaker 4: I'm excited because I like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, on the upside, there could be a huge,
Speaker 3: great group of guys that we that we got out
Speaker 3: of from really not you know, from kind of humble beginnings,
Speaker 3: and then there's a chance they don't. So all that
Speaker 3: puts a lot of pressure, but it's really exciting to
Speaker 3: be able to do to see how they all play out,
Speaker 3: and it's really fun to watch them all develop and
Speaker 3: see the pace with which they do it. And it's
Speaker 3: what makes my job cool because it changes, it's constantly
Speaker 3: changing every single day.
Speaker 1: So thank you guys,
