WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Here. Cody got a hurting pre game a little bit yesterday,

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>so just precautionary measures. He did play in the game

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>for us and kicked well when he was in the game,

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>But um, I haven't gotten anything from today in terms

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of in for treatment and what's going on with him,

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 1>but we'll see. I think it's a new injury in

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>his leg, so it's uh said he felt the pain. Obviously,

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>he didn't get his kickoffs. Kind of just sad how

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>he was kicking the ball off. Didn't get his kickoffs

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>where where we normally get the kickoffs. But I thought

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>he did a good job of that and then obviously

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>was consistent in the kicks that we asked him to do.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Master move with a kicker, not give it it. Just

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody's precautionary, just make sure. We'll see what Cody Satis says.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I Again, he obviously played in the game and was

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>good in the game, so we'll just see where he's

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna we'll go from here. So yeah, but we usually

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>do that, so we usually have workouts on today. So

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>last week we had a couple of guys in the

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>week before we had a couple of guys in, so

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Kiko went for a second opinion. Now see just just

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to get a second opinion in terms of what our

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>doctors saw, and then what usually what most players most

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>players here to do good to go good to get

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>a second opinion. So I have no idea why I

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>haven't had any response back from what happened there. So

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the first opinion that he had a sprained knee possibly

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>come back to now. It was always it was he

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>had a sprain knee and they were going to evaluate itself.

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I got nothing on any injuries, so they all go.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I meet with the trainer after this, So I know

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he went out of the game, and we'll see what

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>happens when I get back and meet with Christian doc

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 1>after this. If you have to use what you're thinking,

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>he seems to be better on the left side. That's

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>not our thinking though, So and we haven't discussed anything

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>because we don't know what Gardner status is. So game

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>at pointe Coup put out for a little bit, but

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>he came back in. So yeah, so I didn't I

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't get anything after the game about Coups, So what

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>were the offensive second? You know, we just really didn't

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>convert on a couple of those second and third downs.

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I think sometimes we had success on the first down,

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>but second and third down, um, we were just we

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>were close, but we didn't you know, just didn't convert um.

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>And it was a different breakdown on various things. A

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 1>couple drops, you know, I think some of the drops, uh,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>we need to clean that up because obviously drives can

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>really get extended on some of those Uh, some of

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>those plays where um, we're not getting our hands on

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the balls. But there was they were kind of varied

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>in in the situation the second half. Yeah, I've been

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>pleased with really with both Walter and and Malcolm. You know,

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm's versatility to be able to come down and play

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>nickel at times in certain looks or to cover slot

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>receivers has been really good for us. But Walt has

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.239
<v Speaker 1>that ability also. Um, they were interchangeable. It's kind of

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>what we've always wanted to get. But uh, I think

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 1>both those guys are playing really well right now. Sam

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Bradford giving you enough right now. Yeah, I think Sam's

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>doing a good job. You know, again, there were some

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>throws Sam probably wants back, you know, there's a couple

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>in there that he missed. But there's also some drops

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>too that I think that could have really extended some

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 1>drives for us. So, um, but we're pleased with Sam

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.519
<v Speaker 1>right now. None of your why we see it was

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>other than Jordan had a cash yesterday. I don't think

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>anyone has more than forty yards huge three games. He

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>is that a concern? Is that just a product of

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? We didn't play very well against the Dallas,

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>so that doesn't I mean, it is what it is,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the in the we obviously moved the

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>ball we thought well in the Falcons game, and then

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>moved the ball well again, um yesterday, So it just depends,

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. Obviously there was a matchup out there with

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Rivus and Commardi at the outside spot. So really part

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>of our game plan was to attack the inside and

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>really to get our backs isolated on linebackers, which I

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>thought we did and I thought we were successful at that.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>We like winning. We don't care who does it or

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>how it contributes to it, as long as you you

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>come out with the victory. So in terms of where

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>are you lying your quarterback up getting the shotgun versus

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>what the running back like, perhaps if he liked the

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>quarter back Understenter like, for instance, like the manning bolts

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>to shotgun. Do you have to balance that when you're

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>when you're calling place. No, we don't. We don't talk

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 1>about that, you see from Hagaware. So so so far, Nelson's

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.359
<v Speaker 1>that nice job, you know when when his opportunities have

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>come up, we just haven't had a lot of opportunities

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to get the ball out to him. You know, he

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>ran uh you know we missed him one ton a

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>day and then another on the backside post shout where

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>he did a good job round the routes and was

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 1>open where we just didn't get the ball to him

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>on on Sunday. But Nelson's done a really nice jobs since.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Has been a big quarter fansy game meater and he

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>sell it. Played forty six snaps, sister, they wasn't parting. Yeah,

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we ran the ball a little bit more and then

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what we were trying to do against that that

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>luck to try to run the ball a little bit more.

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>But I thought Zach contributed and made some big catches

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>for our sister guy. The way the game kind of

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.359
<v Speaker 1>on foldy yesterday, he had the big lead in the

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>first half Marches Smith didn't really get in with the

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>defense at all does that What does that say about it?

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 1>Does he still really have a future here? Can you

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>say that, Yeah, he does have a future here. I

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>just think each game expresses itself differently on how it is,

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know, he was a lot he spent

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot more time in base in base defense in

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>practice last week than nickel stuff, and we were in nickel.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, they kind of abandoned the run from their standpoints,

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>so we were in nickel and dime almost once we

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>got up. You know, it got to twenty four nothing

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and it turned into a nickel in the dime game

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 1>for us. Defensively, so teams last year, what big case,

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>what gets the flight ends to the bold just coverage

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>and how they're going to defend you. But you know,

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's an entirely new defensive coaching staff down there,

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.359
<v Speaker 1>so um, you know, it's a new defensive style in

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>terms of what they're doing. So I don't h you know,

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't look at last year. We don't we do.

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>We as a staff won't even look at last year's

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>game just because Joe Barry's a due defensive coordinator and

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>has been there, so you look at their preseason games

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>in the three regular season games. So we drafted Jordan Nicks.

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>You noted that he probably had more exposure to him

0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>than than anybody who pre draft process. Was that intentional coincidence?

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 1>What did you see when um, you know, as you

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>would take him through that product? Probably coincidence, I would say, um,

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 1>leaning towards intentional, you know, because obviously he he was

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>someone that caught our eye. But you know, um, when

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you sit out and meet with him at the combine

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and then your your coaches come back and say, hey,

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>we had a really good meeting with him. We think

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.119
<v Speaker 1>we really need to you know, the boy, he's pretty

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>sharp from a football standpoint, and you know that that

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>leads to you know, you want to dig a little

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>bit deeper and find out a little bit more about him.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>But um, you know, right from the jump when we

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>first started the interview process, just when you meet him

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and talk football with him, it's just he's a very

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>very intelligent football player. And and it showed and when

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>we we got a chance to sit down and talk

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>with him, and then it showed right when we got

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>here in OTAs and then in mini camp, and you know,

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>he's one of those guys and it's a compliment when

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>we say he never acted like a rookie. He's he's

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>got a maturity to him, and he's got and he's

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>got a real good football mind in terms of being

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>able to pick things up and diagnose things. So, um,

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I probably a combination of both, to be

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>honest with you guys. Obviously I know the lead. Obviously

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it's something to do with that, But was there something

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that you guys saw it, like, Yeah, it's what they do.

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're an empty They're one of their biggest

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>deals is that they're an empty you know, probably more

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>than any team we play. You know, they let Fitz

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>he sit back there and he's obviously really intelligent and

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>diagnosing and what they're doing, but they spend a lot

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of they spend more time in empty than any team

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we've played in the uh, you know, the last two

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>years and then this year. I don't know what's coming

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>up down the road from some people, but you know,

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>that's part of that was part of the game plan. Obviously, Um,

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, didn't get Ivory. You know, obviously they're probably

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different team with him, um in the game,

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and uh, maybe some more twenty one personnel. But it's

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>really I think we react to what they do. So

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>when we see what goes in the game for them,

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, defensively, we send in what what what what

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>we have And it's the same thing for you know,

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Todd sent in, he sees what's going in the game

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>for us, and he sends in, you know, if we

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>have two tight ends in the game, we're probably gonna

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>get more base. If we have one tight end or

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>no tight ends in the game, we're gonna get Nickel

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>or dime so Yan. But yesterday, regardless of the health

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the DeMarco Murray, does he deserve the bulk of the

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>carries next week? They have no idea. I mean, that's

0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>not a concern for any of us, so we don't

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>really think about it. I have two guys go down

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, so he may be one of them going down,

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>so he won't get any carry. So with the way

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.239
<v Speaker 1>he plays, is he better for the way this offense

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>is playing right now? No, de Marco fits him perfectly

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with what we're doing, and Ryan fits him perfectly with

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing, And so it doesn't sprowlsy, you know.

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 1>So I hope, if God willing and the Pope can

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>bless us again. All three of them will be available

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to us on Sunday against the Redskins. Seems like Ryan

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Matthews gets around the edge a little quicker. Okay, that's

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Howard Eskin's opinion many incorrect observation. I think I think

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>he played really well on Sunday. That's a very good

0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>observation on your part. After content, it should contact, breaking

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>tack and how how do you do there? He did

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a good job. He's a physical runner, he does he

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>does a nice job at the ball in his hands

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>and um can break contact at the line of scrimmage.

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know sometimes when there's not a real huge

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>hole there that you know anybody can get through, I think,

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's even you know there's an arm tackle or

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 1>something like that. You know, he's a he's a big

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>physical runner and uh obviously runs behind his paths really well.

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>It did a nice job after contact, just changes up

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the point of attack. You know, you're putting two tackles

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>on one side and then you have a tight end

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>on the other, So your passing strength is on one side,

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 1>but your run strength is on another side. When you

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 1>look at the offense, you had good good one, good

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>half second half in Atlantic, he had good first half.

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Um yesterday, I mean, do what has to happen. What's

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing has to happen? To play sixty good

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>minutes on offense? He consisted, do the whole game. I

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be a wise guy, but I would

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>say we need to play a good first half and

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a good second half. I mean, we just it's consistency

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>in terms of things that we do right in the

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 1>first half. We got to carry that over into the

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.839
<v Speaker 1>second half. And it's the same thing. Or if you

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 1>start slowly and then turn it on on the second half,

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 1>you just need to be more consistent over time. Why

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>do you think you guys haven't been able to put

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.199
<v Speaker 1>together a full game. Well, I think again it's inconsistency,

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's not one specific thing. It could

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>be a miss blocked by an offensive linement. So on

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>first and ten we now turn into second and fourteen,

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>so now you're behind the stakes. Or on third down

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 1>we have a great conversion, but we throw it and

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 1>drop it, you know, so then we don't continue and

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 1>stay on the drive, stay on the field for that

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and usually with this group, you get one first down

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>that leads to more for US downs. It's really those

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>opening you know, those opening first three plays and within

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>there there can't be any inconsistency in those three plays

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>when Sam is off target. And there's a couple of

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>times in that game where you look like he was

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>throwing behind receivers. Is that something technical that you're seeing, Yeah,

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>just setting his feet. No. I think on some of

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>those he had time to set his feet, but was

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>just off target with the throw. So that's just to

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of a fundamental thing. But then there's

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>some other times. You know, he made an unbelievable throw

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on the gut flushed and his zero blitz and hit

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Jordan on the on the crosser that got it down

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>to the half inch yard line, and then um then

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Sprows he ran and in for a touchdown. And then

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the one where they brought his zero blitz again and

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>he scrambles out of the pocket and hit sprowsing on

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a wheel row right in his hands, or you know,

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>two outstanding throws. So it's just again the same thing

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I just said. There's just has to be a little

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>bit with everybody on the offensive side of the bow.

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>There has to be just more consistency in terms of

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing and more controlled environment during the preseason

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and training camp. So what happens once it gets into

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the game, or what has happened if it's the same?

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean you look at the Packers game. He took

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>three or four shots with unblocked eyes in his face

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and put the ball on on players. So, um, it's

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's it all comes back to with everybody fundamentals, um,

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what you're doing. And sometimes Sam reacts

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>better when there's distress. You know, some of his best

0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 1>throws or when he's moving you know, and and uh,

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>people are coming on him and he has to do

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>something to get out of things. But he's still consistent

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>with his his arm action and where he's putting the football,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>so you know with earth and when he naturally rolled

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to his right him yeah it was a scramble. Yeah,

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>So how do you bounce that? What are he's doing

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a team? Like? Is he have more success out out

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of the pocket than he used in the pocket or

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>is that just the product all? No? I mean the

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>ball he throwed to Matthews for a touchdown was a

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 1>great throw. They was in the pocket, So I mean,

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.839
<v Speaker 1>I you can't look at two. You got to look

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>at the whole entirety of how the game goes on.

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Because he had two when he was flushed out of

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, you don't say, wow, we need to get

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>him out of the pocket all the time. You know,

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>re the best tracks player and you guys in around

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>what is he doing just every day? I mean, there's

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>one speed with Darren. It doesn't matter. Every time he

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>catches a punny scores a touchdown, and then when he

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>goes out on the field, every time he gets blocked

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>up pretty good, he's going to score a touchdown. I mean,

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a very consistent going back to what we

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>talked about, there's a consistent approach to darren sproles and

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I've talked to our players about it. We pointed out

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>all the time as coaches, I've never been around a guy,

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and I've been around a lot of guys that practices

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>as consistently as hard as Darren does every single day.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.680
<v Speaker 1>In walkthrough, We're done telling him to slow down and

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>walk through, because he's going to slow down and walk through.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He goes full speed and early. You're trying, Hey, you

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta do this don't matter. You know, if we have

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 1>a walk through punt, he's going to catch a punt

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and run sixty yards with it and try to score

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. And the guys we have to stop, to

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, And you can ask Donnie Jones.

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I've stopped Donnie from trying chase him because I'm afraid

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>Donnie poor hamstring, you know. But there's just that's just

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>the way he's built and the way he's wired. And

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, we always talk about you sink to a

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 1>level of training, and what you see on Sundays from

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Darren is what we see every single day. Whether it's

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a walkthrough or whether it's a practice, that's just you know,

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's an amazing thing to watch. Um. I wish

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 1>more players would emulate it because it's, you know, it

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>seems like a pretty good formula that's working. Imagine you

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>guys keep traveling all yeah. I don't know if we've

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 1>seen more, but I just think it seems like they're

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 1>at critical times. You know, it's a third and three

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's the you know, the the third down's going

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to convert and then there's a drop, you know, those

0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>it maybe it's just magnified a little bit that way.

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, drop on third down is a little bit

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>more magnified than a drop on first down. But i'll

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>drop is still a drop. I mean a couple of

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>those big, big place. Yeah, we know that, they know that,

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I know, it's it's uh. Consistency is probably

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the word that keeps coming up today. There's a lot

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>of different factors involved in it. So in terms of

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the received, are they getting open or you see separation

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>they need to get, Yeah, certain spots, but I mean

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>there's some spots that we're you know, you're talking about

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Reevers is a little bit different than you know,

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>going against other corners in the league. But Nelly a

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of times had them. But you know, over three

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>games now, I thought they've been pretty good without guys open.

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you guys uber one and rush defense three

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>quarter one yards through three games, nobody's really running on you.

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>What do you see and that's with some different Brussel yesterday.

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>What do you see from that group against the run Consistency.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's there's been great effort um. You know,

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I think on our base defense, we we we've got

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>we've got guys that can set edges. We have guys

0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>that really do a good job at two gaping and

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Benny and said, and um, you know, and Fletch and

0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>then Brandon Barret has played well. Taylor Hart when he

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>was in there's played well. We've got, you know, a consistency.

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Even though we're rotating players along the defensive line, We've

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 1>got consistency there. Um, I think our linebackers know exactly

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 1>where the ball is going. Um, so you know, Jordan's

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>really adapted and it's fit in really well there in

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 1>his first extended playing time. So, um, we're you know,

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we're getting a lot of consistent play in terms of

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>what we're asking our guys to do. They're doing on

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the on the defensive side of the ball, And um,

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it forces people to be one dimensional,

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>then you know, you you hope you have a little

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>bit of advantage because you kind of know what's coming.

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>But um, I think we've been really consistent in our

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>in our rush defense, and um, you got to stop

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the run, you know. So if you can make teams

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 1>one dimensional, then all of a sudden the things can

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>change a little bit for you. So defensive game ability

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>did blitz did blitz Mutsum We use a lot of time. Yeah,

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I said that yesterday. I think just because FITZI gets

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball out so quickly, you know you're not really

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 1>sure getting blitzing is going to get to him. So

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to get more eyes and vision and on

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback. UM rolled a lot of things to Marshall,

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>even though Marshall still had I think ten catches for

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a hundred yards or so, but we still tried to

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>roll things to him because there was there was definitely

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a lead receiver in that defense, I mean in that offense,

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and things were kind of dictated off of him. So

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to vision a break on the football more

0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>disrupt the throwing lanes with our pass rush. Obviously, Brandon

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 1>bart did a great job with that, getting three tips.

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Benny Um BG had had a had a had a

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 1>hit on an arm that got caused an incomplete pass.

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 1>So I think we kind of got him flushed a

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit and kind of off off Mark a little

0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>bit Um. But we wanted to be able to vision

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a break on the football so that UM we kept

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the ball in front of him and they did a

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>good job of that. You can get that Byron Maxwell,

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>how did you see his day? Um, you know, there

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>were some ups and downs, and there are a couple

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of times when he was isolated. There were some plays

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>there and he had I know, we had a penalty

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 1>at hold in front of our bench, But there was,

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>um a little bit more. There was more consistently out

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 1>of Byron's game here as we've gone on to in

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 1>week three. So I thought, Um, he's improved as the

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>season's going along. Did Eric Grove kind of show you

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>something because obviously when he came in the Jets count yeah,

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>which which you anticipate, you know, when you got a

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>new corner in the game. But um, you know, he's

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>he's been bounced around a little bit, you know, in

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>terms of where he's been playing. Been inside, been outside, Um,

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>been been at some safety what you have to do

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're not the starter. But I think he's he's

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>been consistent when he's been outside a corner, um in

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks and felt comfortable if we're

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna put him in the game at corner did a

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>good job and um, Devin Smith, who was the receiver

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 1>he was covering, can run. You know, he's a real

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>speed guy that that they took um high out of

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Ohio States. So we kind of knew, Um, that was

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.199
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a good challenge for him, and I did it.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:44.719
<v Speaker 1>He had two passes. Strowing on on one of him

0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.159
<v Speaker 1>was a real good break up on him. In the

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>second one was you know, he did a good job

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 1>of flipping his hips and kind of shielding the receiver

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>towards the sideline and made it made a real good

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>play on the ball. So Um, hopefully for Eric it's

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>what we felt. You know, he just he'll continue to

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 1>grant some confidence himself because we believe he be a

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>really good corner. We'll see how I mean, I say

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>this all the time. I have no idea. We could

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:11.640
<v Speaker 1>have seven guys get hurt on Friday and then he's

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.639
<v Speaker 1>going to start for So for us to come in

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 1>today and say Eric row is going to play more,

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't. We wait till we get all the injury reports.

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Who's gonna practice, who's gonna be ware, and then we'll

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>start it out towards the end of the league. Kind

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 1>of a tough game up there against the Jets in

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 1>the preseason. Um, how did you see him respond to

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>that practice? And just his he's been. He's been really

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 1>really good. You know. I think he understands that that

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 1>if you play that position in this league, you're gonna

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>get people are gonna catch a ball in it. You

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:37.639
<v Speaker 1>know you're not. No one's gonna shut it down for

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 1>every No one's gonna shut anybody down for every single play. So, um,

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought he really handled it very well and has

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 1>has really trained at a real high level since since

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.159
<v Speaker 1>that game, and even up until that game. He just

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't play very well in that game. But he didn't

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>let that affect him. He doesn't hang his head, doesn't

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mope, doesn't go around here um carrying the

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>weight of the world on him. He's like, Hey, it's

0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity for me to learn from what I did,

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 1>and how do I can I improve and how do

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I how do I get better moving forward? So where

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 1>do you be ready to be that, say, Americus, I

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:15.560
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. Thanks you, hyeah.
