WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.360 No, it didn't did not look better the second time around. 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.680 And fortunately for us, we've got a game on Thursday, 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.919 so we've got to move on and get ready to 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.560 play Detroit right now. Practice today, we'll see what happens 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.360 when it goes out on the field. I'm done by 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.080 the update, so you guys will see him on the field. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.120 You guys can get it. Then. I gave you an 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:33.599 update last week. I was wrong, so I don't want 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.159 to be wrong again. So well, you have to head 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.199 coaching team since you're starting quarterback. We'll see what he 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.880 can do on the field today. Yes day he said 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.320 that you guys weren't ready to play on defense this 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.960 morning on the radio, said you didn't remember whatever whatever 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.680 I said, We just didn't say we didn't play well defensively. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.960 That's that's exactly what I meant. So whether I said 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.160 we weren't ready, however, it was we didn't play well defensively. Uh. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.520 And obviously it was reflected in what Tavin Day did 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.800 do us off something? Why does he go on to 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.120 the line before snaps. That's the rotation we have at 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:09.479 the inside linebacker spot play a whole game, and I'm 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:14.160 not sure about that what's that moment? Let's still think 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.840 we're bringing him along in terms of his uh him progressing. 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:19.640 The same thing with Demko too. I don't think Demco 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.200 can play a full game right now down at this 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.520 point or no, there's no thought at that level. How 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.480 was a decision made that Peters will play? What's that? 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.080 How was a decision made it computer? He went out 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:31.679 and worked out early before the game and felt like 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.920 he was good to go when it was cleared by 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:37.440 the doctors final Ultimately, I make the final decision on 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.480 who the in actors and actors are. So you make 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.640 that decision, and then how about it in the game. 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.560 Who decided that he would no longer play? We all 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.280 did talked about where we were. Yeah, because I get 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.360 input from him on how he feels, so we have 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.600 a discussion. We have a discussion on how he feels. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.360 But I'm not going to make a player go play 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.880 if he tells me he's hurt. So that's Bill. Bill 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.280 was very hard on beause and the way he coached yesterday. 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:07.200 His calls um your confidence, that tremendous confidence in Billy 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.679 did so I think as a help football coach, Josh 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.639 was only tour we did one time, and that was 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.480 on the thirty nine yard touch John. Did he have 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.120 some sort of injury during the game or is there 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.800 any other explanation? Not now, just kind of Howard expressed it. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.440 The game, what coverage dictates how they're doing it. They 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.080 played a lot of cover two against us, so they 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.040 had guys up in the face over outside receivers too, 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.560 safety high over the top. Um, you know, so obviously 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.160 you're gonna work the ball inside a little bit more 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.639 against that coverage. Yeah, when a guy has a big 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.120 play like that to getting involved later, well, they were 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.840 playing man coverage on them. We didn't see much man 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.600 after that. We saw a lot more cover two after that, 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.040 and I think maybe that was the reason for that. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.280 So UM, to make a concerted effort to throw a 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.280 ball to an outside receiver and cover two is not 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.800 very smart. So to say that they did that on 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.720 that specific player, we caught him in man coverag Josh 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.640 Man were good slant route. Mark put it on and 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.360 we didn't see much man after that. We saw a 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.960 lot a ton of Cover two in that game, which obviously, 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.560 by the score, I think people do that. You know 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.239 they're gonna play back a little bit. They're gonna play 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.600 more zones, try to keep the ball in front of them, 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:00.880 and they did it very good job of doing it. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.320 When when you're struggling to make bigger plays and you're 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.400 struggling to gablement him, any thought to move him around 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.919 in the offense, movement to the inside for him in 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.679 the backfield. Just give different as, have a practice in 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.040 the backfield side of to U gam day to say, hey, 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.840 let's move a guy to a position he's never played. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.600 That's that's just that's just not good football. He only 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.360 got steam snaps yet thirty I thought either more than 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.760 I'll look at the numbers for rot he was rotating 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.000 with Nelson on the other side. Again, a lot of 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.240 its coverage dictator. So if you if you watch tape, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.680 it's we didn't get much man free after that snap, 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.240 you know, and specifically it was a lot more cover 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.280 to two high safeties and guys rolled up on the 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:43.080 outside receivers. We need that. We thought the matchups, you know, 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.080 and talking to Billion Corey and what they wanted to 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.080 do the matchups and trying to get bigs on the 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.800 field and keep keeping Miles, I mean, keeping Malcolm at 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.600 safety Is this where you expected to be ten games 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.080 into your third season. No, not at all. I mean 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:56.840 no one's happy about what our record is right now, 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.240 and um all we can do about us preparing and 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.840 get ready to play too. Wasn't having Malcolm in the 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:08.120 spot game to suggests every time we play Nickel we 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.880 determine what the matchup is like and who's the best matchup. 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.000 If you look at Biggs, Biggs has done a nice 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.440 job when he's been matched up there and some of 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.040 the things we did in this going into this game, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.359 that was the game plan going in. We felt the matchup, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.200 We felt up the matchup with with Biggs in there, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.680 I don't think the matchup was good for anybody on 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.160 our defensive side of the ball. So why why why 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:31.680 do you play thirty times this season? We have a 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.960 rotation that goes on on our defensive line in terms 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.120 of who's in and who's out, and that's the way 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.560 they've always rotated. It's been like that most of the season. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.120 I would think the numbers are pretty close where they 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.320 are most this season. Respect to Jason and making the 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.039 calls to whether he's going a player or not, how 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.960 much consideration do you have to give to Lane and 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.040 the fact that he would have to switch. I give 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:50.880 it to the injury of the player, so that that's 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.680 not a consideration. And I think the question keeps coming up, 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.480 but if a player tells me he can't play, I 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.560 don't have the trump card to say you can play. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.320 You know what I mean. That's just it doesn't work way. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.520 So you know, in terms of in terms of where 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.960 we are, we have great confidence and how we do things. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.040 What Jason gets and walked through and how many times, 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.280 how many reps he got, he did get practice out 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.920 of him last week, and we feel real confident. He's 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.360 been in the league for a long time, so very 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.920 confident in him and playing that Lane has the ability 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.080 to go outsides. Lane is more comfortable playing actually on 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.800 the right side because he's got more experience on the 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:24.800 right side. Why are these intersectings? Um? Again, as we 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.240 said all the time, every everyone's an individual throw you know, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.800 and I think, um, you know sometimes as expected coverage 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.960 what he thought? Um, and then you got a chance. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.480 You gotta get a chance, as you know, as a 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:36.520 quarterback coach in the coordinator, head coach sit down with 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.400 the film and go through all that with Mark how 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.279 the interception that before they happen, we were just squeezed 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.000 on the tight end, you know, and uh um, I 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.280 think he thought he could have got it in there, 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.520 not throwing at Tampa Bay. Yeah he did. If you 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.200 guys were number three in the league. Un he's just 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.600 going into Carolina, you know, you number twenty five. Now 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.120 after four weeks, when you look at film, what do 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:01.920 you see having that wasn't that? I think when you 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.800 look at the game specifically, and I'm now just go 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.920 back to the other games. But it was four runs, 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.840 you know, four runs I think fore I know, but 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.080 those four runs were the big and we've not done 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.839 that before. We've been people have have hit us for six, seven, eight, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.680 but we haven't had runs break and get out the backside, 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.040 you know, and go for the distance that they went for. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:24.880 And that's ah, you know, that was the thing in 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.200 terms of that, we we got to do a better 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:27.600 job tackling. We've got to do a better job in 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:28.880 our fits, in terms of where we're going to be 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.640 in gap defenses. Said after the game, Almost immediately after 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.680 the snap, he knew the screen was coming his way 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.599 on the pick six. Is there any concern. How concert 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.359 are you about the predictability of your offense right now? 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.480 I don't think that. I mean, we're we're talking the 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.479 seventy eighth snap of the game or the sixty eight 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.719 snap at the game, So you know, at that point 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.280 in time, they're playing deep zones. You know, usually when 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.200 we're in that long yardage, we haven't really thrown suff 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.080 with the two daggers we threw to Coup, you know, 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.960 we're trying to get the ball down the field, and 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.800 our most successful thing at that point in time we'd 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.839 hit a screen earlier for a touchdown. For a thirty 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.440 five yard game, we had another big gain on it. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.760 The one we missed with Darren I think would have 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.400 been another big game. We had an opportunity for it. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.320 So you know, I would say four times we were 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:07.680 right and one time he was right and he made 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.600 a great play on the play, So that's a credit 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:15.360 to him. I don't know Zax and the protocol right now. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:16.880 He's been clear to go to meetings and we'll see 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.720 where that clears is the week goes along here. I know, 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.200 we don't. We do know we're on a short week 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:26.560 though each other. When you now I mean, that's just 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.920 two guys, two two very competitive guys, and Darren and 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.080 Mark and they've patched it up. But I think they're 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.520 both frustrated. But I'm not I'm not worried about that 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.800 overall as a team. I think that happens, and you 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:37.840 look at it all the time. You know, it's funny 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.040 when you win and that happens. Everybody says those two 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.920 guys are really competitive. You know, when Tom Brady yells 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:43.840 and Julian Edelman and they win the game, it's what 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.520 a competitor the quarterback is. You know, if it happens 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.360 when you're losing, it's you know, there's in fighting. But 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.640 it was an isolated incident between two highly competitive players 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.720 and there's nothing else came of it. And those guys 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.720 have will both tell you the same thing. Because of 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.160 what happened, dude, players like Nage Good and Manuel Watcho, 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.640 maybe Merritts more playing time, were some rush with the 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.360 defense at all. Right now, I think with the short week, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:07.720 we're gonna go with what we had last week. You know, 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.040 we got to prepare and get ready to play a 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.080 game against Detroit, so there's you know, we're not making 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:12.800 any line up moves at this point in time, Are 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.680 you getting enough production your top two directors? Well, I 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.840 think Nelson's been hurt, so that's that's part of what 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.120 happened in terms of where he is. And then we're 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.480 starting to get Eric and there. He played outside for 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.040 outside corner for US and Dime yesterday. Really depending on 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:29.720 what packages Bill he's using on that side of the 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.160 all on how we match up with those guys. So 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.120 we'll see where that goes as we continue to go 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.920 through the season. Sure, you're kind of emphasis is put 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.760 on relationship building with the players and you feel like 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.040 you haven't played enough bund then to see through you. Yeah, 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.160 I think we I mean that's what this deals all about. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.560 We're with our players consistent when we spend a lot 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.160 of time with our players in individual position meetings, group settings, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.199 all those things. So I think, um, you know, we 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.640 lost a football game. I don't think it's time to say, 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.640 hey that we don't believe this is this. We just 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.439 we got outplayed, we got out didn't do a good 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.360 job um, you know coaching in that football game, and 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.679 that's what it is. But that's that's all it is, 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.439 you know, And we need to move forward. It's not 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.960 we need to change how we set up our day 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.040 or do anything like that. I think that's uh. You know, 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.960 we lost a game to a better team. We were 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.120 out coached, so she's gonna move on and get better 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.800 to play. You said you don't like to race your 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.120 voice to the players because they're grown man. But as 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.320 a head coach, you can make personnel decisions. I understand 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.079 it's just a short week, but over the last two weeks, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:33.160 have you contemplated anything about making personnel change. Why not? 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.400 Because I feel confident on the guys we have right now. 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.560 You should have a sanded it doing the same things 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.400 over and over again and getting the same I've never 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.640 heard that before. Okay, thanks for sharing that with us. 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.679 Well it's Einstein, so I'm joining Ekstein. So but do 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.160 you ever look I mean, you're we lost two games. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.360 I mean I think sometimes people panic and throw the 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:52.719 baby out with the bathwater. I think we have a 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.360 really good football team. I'm very confident those football paars. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.080 Thanks Zero,
