WEBVTT - Juszczyk Talks Bobby Turner's Coaching Style, Highlights Rookie Players | Press Pass

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Put on this morning, let's roll.

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, Chris McCaffrey running to the NFL rushing

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>title last year maybe not an overlooked because you guys

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>were in the midst of a Super Bowl run. Yeah,

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 2>And how is that celebrated internally with you guys?

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And just.

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 2>How much of it is an effort to repeat that

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>because I don't reflect team's success.

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I think a lot of accomplishments of

0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 3>his might have gotten overlooked last year. You know, he

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 3>had the touchdown record going on, the rushing title, he's

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 3>in the MVP race, All.

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Pro Pro Bowl.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 3>You know, when when you got so many accolades going on,

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 3>sometimes it's hard to acknowledge all of them. But we

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.559
<v Speaker 3>try to. We try to appreciate everything in that room.

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's something Christian and I talk about every day,

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 3>even even now in training camp, just appreciating, uh, the

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 3>opportunity that we have to be out here with one

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 3>another and to all work towards a common goal and

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 3>just you know, be the absolute best at we can.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 3>So we try to try to really appreciate that and

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 3>not take for granted what, you know, what we've done

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 3>and what we can do with him, you know.

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Not practicing for last week or so. I mean, he's

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>freshening up, getting ready for the season.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Still.

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess what's his mindset DC going into this year.

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>He always is super determined. He's always striving for more.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, it really is never enough for him. And

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 3>you can see, you know, it's killing him not to

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 3>be out there. Uh, he's always chomping at the bit.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 3>And uh he makes sure to remind me every day

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>that he's getting a little bit closer and he's gonna

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 3>have cleats on that grass here at no time.

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know he's gonna be Christian McCaffrey.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna go do his thing and do one of

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 3>the best players in the world.

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 1>What why is Bobby turning?

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Because he's the best in the world of what he

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 3>does and he loves it. I don't I don't think

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>there's anything else that he would rather be doing. You know,

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 3>he tells us all the time. He'll he'll wake up

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of the night, he'll just he'll just

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 3>chuckle to himself about a joke that we've had in

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 3>our room and all of us laughing together, and just

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 3>how tight of a group we are and how much

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 3>success we've had together. And I think that's just what

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>drives him. And uh, I think he truly truly loves

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the game, and he loves coaching.

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>You know that room. I mean Christian, I mean he

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>coaches everyone. He's a Christian either you does it sometimes

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>take guys like rookies, guys that just get here a

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>second to as to it seems like a very old.

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 3>For sure, It definitely does, you know, because not everybody

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 3>coaches the same. And like you said, he coaches very hard.

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's he's gonna be very strict. He's gonna

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 3>be making sure you're on top of every assignment. You know,

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't even he doesn't let Christian and I, you know,

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 3>loosen up at any point, like you know, we got

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 3>to be on our stuff.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>We're still my eighth year with him.

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I still do a running back test before every game

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>and those are a good eight pages. And and that's

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 3>just you know, that's how he is. But I, I

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 3>really truly have grown.

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I've always I've always loved Bobby, but I.

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Each and every year I appreciate him even more because

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 3>it is easy sometimes when you've done things for so

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 3>long and you've done the same things to let up

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>a little bit, to get just a little bit lackstaysical,

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 3>but he makes sure that can never happen and that

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 3>you are on top of it. And I've never gone

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>into a game feeling unprepared. He is make sure you

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>are always feel prepared.

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>And confident in everything you do.

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you gotta you gotta turn it in the day before,

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 3>the night before the game. It is a printed out,

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 3>written test, typically right before we go on the plane

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 3>when we travel, or Saturday morning and were at home.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>You know what, you don't get it back.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>You turn it in, but if there's anything alarming, he'll

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 3>be sure to let you know. Yeah, having said all that,

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>I realized there's injuries in cold But as a veteran,

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 3>how much preseason time do you think, you guys that

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 3>first team offense needs just to kind of feel comfortable

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 3>going into week one. Yeah, you know what, it's a

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 3>case by case basis. I really think that really is

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.919
<v Speaker 3>kind of like a player by player thing. I know

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 3>it always, you know, it feels good for the first

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 3>group to go out there and have a successful drive

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 3>under your belt, and it just you know, you have

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 3>that confidence that you already did it.

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>But I'm quite confident either route that we go.

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 3>If the starters play a little bit, great, If we

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 3>don't take a single snap, great. It doesn't make too

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 3>much of a difference to me. I think preseason that

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I think the biggest thing is for young guys, but

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 3>there are there are veterans that needed to So it's

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 3>very much case by case.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Brandon's contract status.

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>But Trent isn't here at all. What are you missing

0:04:58.720 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>with him?

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Not only on the field but in.

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>The locker room? Yeah, I mean, Trent's an incredible leader.

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, He's got this this aura around him that

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, obviously we all think so highly of him,

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 3>and he's so talented, and you know, people love just

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 3>people seem to gravitate to him. So when he's around,

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 3>it just it builds a camaraderie. It definitely pushes other

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 3>offensive linemen just you know, to meet that standard. But

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I really am confident that he'll be here soon and

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I think we'll get things figured out.

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Your mindset as a return guy with the new rules,

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>and what do you think of like Grenda and Debo as.

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Returners it seems are Srader and Debos. Yeah, I think

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be a really interesting play. I'm quite excited

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 3>for it once the regular season starts. I don't think

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna see too much in preseason. Nobody wants to

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 3>show anything, especially because it's you know, never been done.

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:58.559
<v Speaker 3>But guys like Deebo, like Grendo, like Schrader, they're gonna

0:05:58.560 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 3>fit that role very well.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it's very much like a wide.

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.479
<v Speaker 3>Zone run play in that you're kind of you know,

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 3>you're catching the ball close. You know, those are almost

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, those are your offensive linemen. And when you're

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 3>you're pressing it like a wide zone and you're kind

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 3>of making one cut and those what That's what those

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 3>guys do every single day. So I think they fit

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 3>that role pretty good.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Again, told us that he had a little bit of

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 2>a rough start with him.

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Was there a turning point that you saw, Go ahead

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and give an example. I'm not.

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna put too much out there, but you

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.799
<v Speaker 3>know we talked about earlier. Sometimes it takes some getting

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.679
<v Speaker 3>used to, uh, you know, a certain style of coaching.

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 3>And when JP came here, Bobby t wasn't here. He

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 3>was on a little leave of absence, and he showed

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 3>up I think around like week four or five that season,

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 3>so you know, he hadn't Bobby T hadn't been JP's

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 3>coach yet, and so he was kind of you know,

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 3>he's being coached in a different style, and so it

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 3>just took time for him to adjust.

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they've done a phenomenal job.

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>I think what stands out with these rookies for me

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 3>at least, is their intelligence and their understanding of the playbook.

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 3>I think they do a really good job, especially in meetings,

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 3>just understanding their assignment. And when they do make mistakes,

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 3>which we all make mistakes we're in the heat of battle,

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>even when you know what you're supposed to be doing,

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 3>they do a great job of Like when we're watching

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 3>the tape, before Bobby T can even get to the corrections,

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 3>nine times out of ten they'll say exactly what they

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 3>did wrong. And that's good. If if you make a

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 3>mistake and you don't know you made a mistake, now

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 3>you're you're in trouble. But if you make a mistake

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 3>and right away you know, shoot.

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't supposed to do that, I was supposed to

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>do this, it's a lot easier to clean up and

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>move on. From there.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:08:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Is a rookie, this guy and the other guys if

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But is he is that grown more?

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, does he have more advantage.

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>To him or is he kind of stayed the same

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>as far as.

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I think.

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it's kind of stayed the same because it was,

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.239
<v Speaker 3>you know, it was a pretty high bar from the beginning.

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I just love his understanding of the playbook has has

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 3>really grown where he can point out when other.

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>People make mistakes very very quickly.

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 3>I love, like, you know, a third down, I'm in

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 3>protection in the in the backfield, like he'll let me know.
