WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Tony Dune, Tony Sarah'll talk to the team this afternoon,

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and what's the purpose of that. Anytime I can get

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Tony to talk to anybody I have, then we will

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of that. So he's around. He had a

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>game in New England. He's going to New York. So

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>his son who played for me, is up visiting, so

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>he came down to see Eric. And then he's obviously

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>really close with Josh and Kenyon and uh a couple

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>other guys we have here, So I just a chance

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 1>for us to catch up and see him. And he's

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>always got um a unique perspective that I think he

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>shared with my team when I was at Oregan, and

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for him to share with our guys and

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff in it changed to watch the game last night

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>at all. Now we work, so we were in the

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>alphae s I didn't see any of the game. So

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you're one of the few teams the singles who plays

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>for the sidelines. You obviously had thinking percautions to have

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.639
<v Speaker 1>teams from trying to decode that, But are you concerned

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>ever about that and what kind of moneys had to

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>go on to to take that? Now we got a

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty good system in place, so we're not worried about that.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>The other broadcast your radio, broadcasting your headphones during a game.

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I've heard a lot of things in the headsets. I

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>think there's a lot of frequency issues in someplace. I've

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>heard air traffic control and a lot of different things.

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it happens the silent account. Did the green baying

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>help with that at all? Or is this really the

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>first time you guys had it? Yeah? I mean yeah,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty loud. I mean for a preseason game.

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I think the one thing about going to Lambo is

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>there's an unbelievable crowd there. You know, no matter what

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>time you play the game or um who's playing them.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've just got great crowd support. So we

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>work on silent account every other day here, so I

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's an issue for anything that we do.

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So you could answer, there's not a lot going on today,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's my loss, is it red? It was understandable

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>why he had subtributed actions the preseason, but this is

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be quite different. I mean, do you have any

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>are you doing anything special this week or do you

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>have any concerned about him picking sixty snaps instead of

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>fifteen or whatever. Now we're real confident in Sam's conditioning.

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>We want to throw our guys every day. Did a

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>great job. He was in great shape when he got

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>here in August past the conditioning tests. So not concerned

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 1>at all with m the amnest snaps. Sam will take

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>all about the fecting teams. White can test him earlier

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of bringing a lot of heat. Is

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 1>that's something that you factor in, and it's just they're

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna do what they're gonna do. What we're gonna do,

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna do. I mean, we have answers when

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>people blitz us and part of protection pickups how we

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 1>call things, get the ball out of your hand quick.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>But I mean there's risk rewards on both sides of it.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a statement that when you blitz the

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 1>band plays, it's either our band or their band. So

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you can say, hey, let's go after him.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>If you do, but then you expose yourself on the

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>back end. It just becomes a mathematical game. How many

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>guys are gonna have in coverage, how many guy you're

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring, you know, and if you do do that,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>are you ready to match up with all the five

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>vulitable receivers. So that's the game that goes on within

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the game the offensive line, like beyond you know, the

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>starters and and bes with the top backups. I mean,

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>you kind of said that you wanted to get like

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>young you know, pipeline. I guess young players coming up

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 1>like you since that with Guyl, Malcolm Munch and John

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I guess you told yeah, we hope, so,

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's something we'll continue to address as

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>we move forward here. But UM, you know, I think

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the one thing you have to look at is you

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>can't address every area every year. You know, you only

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>have so many draft picks. So, UM, we put a

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of our draft picks this past year into our

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>defense because we felt like that was the real area

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>we had to um show up. So, I mean, it's

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>something that we're conscious of having Josh here. Matt Tobin,

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.839
<v Speaker 1>who came in on the first year, was an undrafted guy,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>UM that's made our team and been on our active roster.

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Um Dennis is a relatively young guy. Um, you know,

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and then you add the two practice squad players along

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>with those guys. But it's something we need to address

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>as we move forward, how do you bounce keeping the

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>guy that think it's better and where do you can

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>shoot it right away versus like planning four down the

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>road and perhaps you got to maybe see something to

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>some potential line. Yeah, well we get to this point.

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Our concern is this season. So if if we're not

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>going to keep a young guy that we think is

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 1>going to help us two or three years down the

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>road and sacrifice something that could benefit us right now.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>So um, you know, but each individual case, she'll look

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>at and kind of see where's where's the pluses and

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>minuses in terms of keeping this player. But it's it's

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>really our our main focus is this season. Um, and

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>especially with the turnover in the National Football League. Uh,

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, this team could look drastically different again next year.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>So as much as you can decide to kick backs,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>what do you see Quody Park Cody's been sharp, you know,

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>been right on as rhythm is there, the timing is

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 1>there between him and John and Donnie, and um, he

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>was good the other day we did field goals. We

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:16.840
<v Speaker 1>do field goals again today, So um, he's been good.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Banks two different spots, two different kind of guys, but

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>really for us it's a Jara two two replaces kind

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of the Brad Smith role that we had for Brad.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Um and Jonesy kind of replaced whether it be Nagi

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>or really James Casey, which however you want to look

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>at him fitting in there. So you know, we lost

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of good special teams players that were really,

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, really core players for us and Brad and

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>James and Naigi. So, um, you know that he really

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of Brad takes that size wise, height wise, speedwise,

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 1>he takes that. You know, he's a guard tackle on

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>the punt team. He's a he's a inside guy on

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the kickoff cover team. You know, Brad Smith was a

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>perimeter guy on the kickoff cover team. Or Jara two

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>two is a perimeter guy. Um. So it's kind of

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you traded out some good players, you know, and just

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>what happens with free agency and things like that. Um,

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>but we felt we had to replace those guys. So

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what we brought those guys in. Now they'll they'll

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>go just like I say, every week, we'll make a

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 1>final assessment after our last training session, which will be

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>actually Sunday now because we have a Monday game. They've

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>been good in practice. Um, we've limited them obviously, so

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>they're not taking every single rep and every single drill um,

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>but they haven't had any issues that were like, hey,

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>we need to back off of them. But we won't

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>make any determinations on those guys, just like we do

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>in every preseason game and everything until our final training

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>sessions over. So don't kind of see driving. Yeah, flex

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>loves playing football. I don't think there's any concern about

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>all the other things that go on outside of football.

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's been great out here in one of our

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>our better players when it comes to their approached everything

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>he does. You know, he fits in with all the

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>other guys we have here him and he loves probably

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>loves training. He does a great job with the great

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>obvious on page. What makes him so call it? Well,

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you just I mean it's not just a flat line guy.

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean he can do everything. Sometimes some guys are

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>they're six two, they're two twenty and they can run,

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>but they can't change direction. He can change direction. Uh,

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>he's got great range, he's got great ball skills. Um,

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you know he really he's a really savvy route runner

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in terms of setting up defensive backs for his move,

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's really the total package, you know, and it's

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>um that's the challenge that's presented, especially you know, with

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>such an accurate quarterback throwing the football, is that um,

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he can gain a little advantage because of his size

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and because of his route running ability, and even if

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>he has just a little separation, MAT's gonna put it

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.559
<v Speaker 1>on himself. You are what do you remember a value?

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>And I know that with the what was the first

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>part on this you are a story? What do you

0:07:54.800 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>remember a value? But the story I just threw a

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>softball up to me that I'm not gonna take. But

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>what do I remember? I just remember it was just

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I think a day that everybody was just kind of

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>stunned by. You know, you didn't really realize what was

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>going on when it was going on. I remember we

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>were I was in the football offices. I was at

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire at the time, and someone, I think our

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>secretary Nancy Brown, came in and said, I think a

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>plane hit the World Trade Center. And you know, at

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the time, I think you thought it was just one

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of those smaller little prop planes that was just kind

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>of vidoff target and didn't know that it was a

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>terrorist attack in our own country. So, um, it was

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>just a really tragic day that I think kind of

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>stunned everybody. So, um, date record home versus A way, Yeah,

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I think almost every team's home versus away is better.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Their home is better than their way. You know, I

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>think you're in your own environment. But um, I think

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>it goes more to the type of player that Matt is.

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a he's a really good football player. Um,

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and facing him, whether whether it's home orble way, um

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>is a tall task, especially with the weapons that he

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>has a receiver, But um, he does. You know, when

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>you look at it, he does have an outstanding record

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>at home. What you know, what are the particulars We

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:10.839
<v Speaker 1>don't really look at that. You know, we're looking at

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>what routes are they running on third down? How do

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>we defend them? And you know, what's what's our best

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>plan of attacks? Okay,
