Speaker 1: Just help you guys out.
Speaker 2: Some players that we anticipate starting on the pup list.
Speaker 2: Ricky Purcell uh injured his hamstring away from here, he'll
Speaker 2: start on the pup list. Drake Jackson coming off the
Speaker 2: plateleton and surgery, Drake Greenlaw with his achilles, and Taalnoa
Speaker 2: all tracking well. But we will start training camp with
Speaker 2: those guys on p up and after that open up
Speaker 2: for questions.
Speaker 3: Righton that you will be report Are you reported.
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: The actual they still have another hour and change, you
Speaker 2: know until so. I don't know if he is here,
Speaker 2: but we expect all our players to report and be here.
Speaker 3: Any understanding with him that you will continue to negotiate.
Speaker 2: We've had great communication. You know, we started this really early.
Speaker 2: We made it a priority to try to get done.
Speaker 2: We've had excellent communication throughout. You know, really don't want
Speaker 2: to characterize we we haven't been able to and that's
Speaker 2: that's a shame. But uh, you know we're we're Brandon's
Speaker 2: a big part of our team and uh we expect
Speaker 2: that he will be this year.
Speaker 4: Is there possibility you do some sort of restructuring like
Speaker 4: you did with Hiems turned back in the past.
Speaker 1: Everything's a possibility.
Speaker 2: You know, we uh are not gonna not gonna get
Speaker 2: into negotiations and and you know there's a Kyle says,
Speaker 2: there's no absolute, so we're open to anything. And you know,
Speaker 2: like I said, Brandon's a big part of this team
Speaker 2: and we expect that he will be going forward. Yet
Speaker 2: whether he'll practice.
Speaker 1: We expect all our players to practice.
Speaker 5: John, last year, you gave us an absolute that would
Speaker 5: not be traded. You make that same statement about Brandon.
Speaker 2: Well, Kyle and I always you know, we kind of
Speaker 2: I did say that with Bosa and I felt that way,
Speaker 2: but you know, I I I think again, no absolutes there.
Speaker 2: We fully intend on Brandon being a Niner moving forward.
Speaker 2: We're always open to listen to things. But like I said,
Speaker 2: we expect Brandon to be an integral part of our
Speaker 2: team like he has been, and excited about that.
Speaker 3: Well, post have mentioned last year that he thought maybe
Speaker 3: obviously really long negotiation that did affect him during the
Speaker 3: season clause numbers go down. Deebo Aways mentioned, you know
Speaker 3: during his contractual offseason that that kind of threw off
Speaker 3: his season that followed. Are you concerned that this could
Speaker 3: happen with ayuk or anybody, but specifically ayuk Oh.
Speaker 6: Anytime you I mean don't get a practice like you're
Speaker 6: used to, and I mean the NFL season real hard,
Speaker 6: so anytime you don't really get to prepare the right
Speaker 6: wing in training camp. It's a challenge for all those players,
Speaker 6: and the tons of players have gone through it. Some
Speaker 6: have bigger challenges than others. Each one's different. You know,
Speaker 6: I don't remember Deebo missing much. I think we got
Speaker 6: him done the first couple of days.
Speaker 7: From what I remember. Bosa just you.
Speaker 6: Know the way a D lineman is. I think it's
Speaker 6: a little bit different. But then getting in football shape,
Speaker 6: no matter how hard you work out, it's tough. It's
Speaker 6: tough to catch up throughout the season. So both of
Speaker 6: those guys have their individual experiences with it.
Speaker 7: It never helps, but it's something that's not a new thing.
Speaker 7: Something I deal with people requested to trade.
Speaker 8: A couple of years ago, you were asked why you
Speaker 8: were confident would work yourself out, and you said that
Speaker 8: you have a personal relationship with him and you hadn't.
Speaker 1: Even talked to him yet.
Speaker 8: Why are you confident that you can work things out
Speaker 8: with if things get well?
Speaker 6: I mean, I remember exactly and knowing you, I don't
Speaker 6: know exactly said that, but I don't remember, but you know,
Speaker 6: I have a personal relationship with all our players, and
Speaker 6: you'd like to be able to talk with those guys,
Speaker 6: and usually when it does get close, it can work out.
Speaker 6: And I would feel the same with Brandon. Brandon here
Speaker 6: for four years. I'm going in our fifth year together
Speaker 6: and got a lot of love for ba. I think
Speaker 6: I'm close with them and hope that can't help, but
Speaker 6: only can help so much. There's also business side to it,
Speaker 6: but when you do have relationships with people, it helps.
Speaker 4: People have been able to work at these huge contracts
Speaker 4: for the star players like both and deep in the past.
Speaker 4: Has it's been one of the more challenging ones that
Speaker 4: you've since you've come, since you've.
Speaker 2: Come to Santa Clara, you know, I think, first of all,
Speaker 2: I think it's important to note we're fortunate to be
Speaker 2: in this position where we have a lot of talented players,
Speaker 2: so you have to have these conversations. This one has
Speaker 2: been challenging. As I said, we set it out, we
Speaker 2: started it earlier than we have in the past, made
Speaker 2: it a priority, and there's a lot of dynamics I'm
Speaker 2: not going to get into all of them, but there's
Speaker 2: a lot of dynamics as to why it's been challenging.
Speaker 2: And you know, uh, the fifth year option is something
Speaker 2: we all sign up for when you have a first
Speaker 2: round pick, and you know that's been out there. But
Speaker 2: we've tried diligently to get this done. We haven't been
Speaker 2: able to get there. That's you know, what I've learned
Speaker 2: from my past experiences for the last seven years going
Speaker 2: into our eighth is that sometimes when you think there's
Speaker 2: no way this thing's going to progress, they do. Sometimes
Speaker 2: when you think there's all right, this thing's done tomorrow,
Speaker 2: it's not. So you just keep keep going, You stay
Speaker 2: in communication, and you know, you understand that it's a business.
Speaker 2: I've been in their shoes. I know where they're at,
Speaker 2: I know the challenges. I take a lot of pride
Speaker 2: in having things done so that our team can focus
Speaker 2: on the job at hand, and it hurts me when
Speaker 2: that's not always done at this time of year.
Speaker 1: So I understand that.
Speaker 2: But again, I think we're in a forts We've We've
Speaker 2: got a lot of talented players and we've rewarded a
Speaker 2: lot so that it does become more challenging in time
Speaker 2: when you've when you've.
Speaker 1: Rewarded so many players.
Speaker 2: So but those that's also why this is a very
Speaker 2: good team that has such high expectations. Definitely be outside
Speaker 2: it would seem like the amount of receivers that have
Speaker 2: signed around the league.
Speaker 7: Would maybe make it easier.
Speaker 1: Has it? Has it in fact actually made it harder?
Speaker 1: And is there concern that this is pushing the price
Speaker 1: to a place.
Speaker 9: That you you aren't willing to go?
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't say that, and I you know, again,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into the specifics. I think
Speaker 2: there's a privacy that has earned and and you know
Speaker 2: I always go back to I didn't like my business
Speaker 2: being aired out, So I'm not going to get into
Speaker 2: the specifics. There's certainly markets that happen, in developments that
Speaker 2: happened that effect. But you know, we also have our
Speaker 2: own roster, and like I said, we've rewarded a lot
Speaker 2: of players, so things do get more challenging. You know,
Speaker 2: we we've put our best foot forward, but you know,
Speaker 2: both sides have to come to great we haven't been
Speaker 2: able to.
Speaker 1: Do that yet, and so where that goes, we'll see.
Speaker 7: It's a good timeline to be for Ricky with that hamstringing.
Speaker 2: You know, I think we feel pretty confident he's in
Speaker 2: a good place. We kind of work in blocks. Our
Speaker 2: thought is that he go, he misses the first block
Speaker 2: and then you know, on that second block.
Speaker 1: But we're not going to put him out there.
Speaker 2: That's on our trainers, our performance staff, and we won't
Speaker 2: put him out there too early, you know. On that note,
Speaker 2: you know, Ben Peterson moved on to the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 2: We thank Ben for all his contributions. Well, we'll announce
Speaker 2: formally what their titles are and all that, but Dustin
Speaker 2: Little are head athletic trainer and Dustin Perry will be
Speaker 2: taking that kind of in a dual, dual role, and
Speaker 2: we're excited about that.
Speaker 1: Those are good people that we've got a good.
Speaker 2: System in place, and those guys will be taking the
Speaker 2: reins these extensions.
Speaker 8: It seems like you are comfortable taking your time with
Speaker 8: them as long as as it takes.
Speaker 7: Other teams seem to be doing them as as soon as.
Speaker 1: A player becomes eligible. Well, why do you like to
Speaker 1: take your time with these extensions? I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm impatient, you know, And that's h I like going
Speaker 2: and I think again, we've had a lot of really
Speaker 2: talented players, and it's you know, I think, you know,
Speaker 2: put our track record against anybody in terms of getting
Speaker 2: players signed. I wish it could happen quicker, you know,
Speaker 2: and you know, but I'm proud of our record.
Speaker 7: During now season.
Speaker 4: Was Christian McCaffrey. How important was it for both to
Speaker 4: make sure you have him around?
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good football player.
Speaker 7: Very important, you know.
Speaker 6: It's it's always tough with all this stuff, just any
Speaker 6: everything that the question guy has asked and pertaining contracts
Speaker 6: and stuff, and there's that's the whole challenge that you
Speaker 6: got to understand the market and how that works in
Speaker 6: the league, and you also got to understand what works
Speaker 6: for our team and how to build your own team
Speaker 6: with it. And there's two things that you're constantly weighing,
Speaker 6: and it's not easy to figure out. And there's never
Speaker 6: an obvious right way or wrong way. You tried to
Speaker 6: figure out the best way, and that's a lot of
Speaker 6: stuff goes into that. And to be able to get
Speaker 6: Christian here, with what he's done the last couple of
Speaker 6: years and what we plan on him doing for the
Speaker 6: next few years, we're really excited to get that done
Speaker 6: and felt great about it.
Speaker 10: From the outside, when a guy makes a trade of
Speaker 10: requests and.
Speaker 1: Comments, it's like.
Speaker 10: Oh, this is not going well. There's a real huge
Speaker 10: impast the fact that he appears to be going to
Speaker 10: be showing up and maybe just in that at least
Speaker 10: assigned to you, that is an optimistic sign where he
Speaker 10: might be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always want to be optimistic. Eric, You know
Speaker 2: that this has been a tough one. I think it's
Speaker 2: been been hard to find that coming, evidenced by us
Speaker 2: not not having a deal in place when we both
Speaker 2: have tried. You know, so I guess I'm you know,
Speaker 2: we're going to continue to work towards finding resolution and
Speaker 2: you know, not optimistic, not pessimistic, you know, just going
Speaker 2: to keep attacking it and trying to find the right
Speaker 2: the right endpoint for for each of us. And you know,
Speaker 2: leave it at that.
Speaker 1: Here's all you said, is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, treated the same way as but because he did
Speaker 2: it away from here, ni fi?
Speaker 11: And how long is it?
Speaker 9: Block of prat It's really like the first four days
Speaker 9: everyone in the league has to do four days and
Speaker 9: then you get a day off and I'll be in
Speaker 9: there hopefully we'll be in there in the next three
Speaker 9: at least ease him into there.
Speaker 1: Our kittle uh travous word and Brendle coming. Will they
Speaker 1: have any restrictions of any.
Speaker 7: Kind, We'll be smart with them.
Speaker 6: But I mean, they're all one hundred percent healed and stuff.
Speaker 6: You just got to be careful how you get them
Speaker 6: back in and but they'll have some days off and
Speaker 6: stuff like that, but they're all good to go.
Speaker 11: And you said getting defensive lineman ready is a little
Speaker 11: bit different, how.
Speaker 6: Sor I mean, I think I think each team's differently,
Speaker 6: each team's different.
Speaker 7: But I would say, like I mean, i'd say a
Speaker 7: kicker if you.
Speaker 6: Want to worry about it all, because they're not tied
Speaker 6: to many other people. I think a D lineman especially,
Speaker 6: you know, with the four down scheme and the way
Speaker 6: we play it, it's a little.
Speaker 7: More individual based and stuff.
Speaker 6: Now you've got to get back into football shape and
Speaker 6: the movement and stuff.
Speaker 7: But as a as far as.
Speaker 6: An O lineman, when you're moving in combination with the
Speaker 6: guy next to you or sometimes both guys next year
Speaker 6: three people, you have to zone stuff off. It just
Speaker 6: it takes longer to build guys together and things like
Speaker 6: that at other positions, D line, not that any of
Speaker 6: them are good. I would say is I'd put probably
Speaker 6: behind kicker at that.
Speaker 8: John, do you have a date a time when you
Speaker 8: you would like to have brandon situation resolve?
Speaker 1: No date? You know, yesterday?
Speaker 2: You know, uh you know, but uh, you know, we'll
Speaker 2: continue communication and you know, keep working.
Speaker 7: As a coach.
Speaker 8: How does it affect to have a piece like Brandon
Speaker 8: not you not knowing if you're going to have what day,
Speaker 8: what to what capacity to see?
Speaker 7: I mean, it's a question mark. How does it affect
Speaker 7: you and your planning?
Speaker 6: I mean it's tough, I mean, especially a player like Brandon.
Speaker 6: But that's something like I mean, if I just found
Speaker 6: that out today, you probably see me a lot more
Speaker 6: of a panic. But it's something that you you understand
Speaker 6: what's going on. You've understood that the whole off season.
Speaker 6: It's something I hope that we don't have to deal with.
Speaker 6: But if you do, that's you got to deal with it.
Speaker 6: So you prepare for that and how you think, how
Speaker 6: you plan, and it's not something that you can.
Speaker 7: Let surprise you.
Speaker 6: In my situation, so it's definitely not ideal situation, not
Speaker 6: at all what you want, but it's something that you're
Speaker 6: prepared for as a coach and you playing your team accordingly.
Speaker 3: How you're going to split the quarterback rep or Bobs
Speaker 3: and Allen going to split the twos?
Speaker 7: Yeah, they'll keep splitting those reps compete for the two spot.
Speaker 4: A year ago, Brock was entering training camp not fully healthy.
Speaker 4: How different is the experience now coming with him full
Speaker 4: off season?
Speaker 2: Good to go?
Speaker 7: It's cool. I mean, it's nice. It's just there's a
Speaker 7: lot more uncertainty. You know.
Speaker 6: I felt good about him last year and just talking
Speaker 6: to him every day and watching his rehab that looked great,
Speaker 6: but it's still a scary injury and you got to
Speaker 6: be You're nervous when he comes back this year. Just
Speaker 6: being able to go through an off season that just
Speaker 6: wasn't in the film room that was the film room,
Speaker 6: and the football field was great. I know he had
Speaker 6: a good forty days away. Awesome that he got married,
Speaker 6: and I think he's in a great spot in his life,
Speaker 6: great spot physically, and I'm just pumped to start tomorrow
Speaker 6: with him.
Speaker 8: How was this off season different than the ones you
Speaker 8: had when you were so close? When you can you can.
Speaker 1: Win the win.
Speaker 6: It was a lot shorter last time that after the
Speaker 6: Super Bowl, you know, we got three weeks off and
Speaker 6: then you come back in and I think I came
Speaker 6: back in for two days before the whole world shut
Speaker 6: down and I went home and stayed in sweats and
Speaker 6: hung out with my kids for the next four months
Speaker 6: because of COVID.
Speaker 7: So it's different.
Speaker 6: And we weren't even sure if we were going to
Speaker 6: have a season, and then we just crammed in a
Speaker 6: training camp right before the season, so it was totally different.
Speaker 7: This one went a lot faster.
Speaker 6: I think that is the tough things about going to
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl and stuff, and whether you win or lose,
Speaker 6: how long it takes to deal with some of the
Speaker 6: things that you put off all the way to February,
Speaker 6: the recovery you need just mentally and physically. But when
Speaker 6: you get to this point, it all kind of feels
Speaker 6: the same. If you would ask me this forty days ago,
Speaker 6: I'd been like, oh, I need a little bit more time.
Speaker 6: But now that I've been away from this building and
Speaker 6: everyone really has and we've done forty days with our family,
Speaker 6: it's it's time to get back. And I know my
Speaker 6: family wants me back bad and here, and I'm ready
Speaker 6: to start doing some things besides going to the beach
Speaker 6: with them.
Speaker 7: What did you want and what aspect.
Speaker 8: About yourself as a coach, the season, the game? What
Speaker 8: did you learn these forty days about yourself?
Speaker 6: The forty days, I learned how much fun I can
Speaker 6: have before I need to go back, And it gets
Speaker 6: less and less each year as I get older. You
Speaker 6: start to realize how you got to balance more stuff
Speaker 6: out and did a lot more like going on morning
Speaker 6: walks and stuff with my family, which made me feel
Speaker 6: very old, but after doing it for about four days,
Speaker 6: maybe me feel a lot healthier. So like I enjoyed
Speaker 6: that stuff, got in a lot more routines. And it's
Speaker 6: really about I think as you go. I mean, it's
Speaker 6: my twentieth season, and you so know what it's about,
Speaker 6: Like you so know what you're doing every single day.
Speaker 6: You so know about the seventh month grind, and it's
Speaker 6: it's not at all coming back to the hours.
Speaker 7: It's coming back to.
Speaker 6: You're not gonna have a day off minus that by
Speaker 6: week until hopefully February, and so it's just you know
Speaker 6: what that takes. You know what you're going to go through,
Speaker 6: so you kind of know how to handle yourself the
Speaker 6: forty days away, you know, spiritually, mentally, physically, all the stuff.
Speaker 7: And players got to build their body up in a
Speaker 7: certain way.
Speaker 6: And guys who go to the Super Bowl, our vets
Speaker 6: who have been in the playoffs for the last few years,
Speaker 6: who always do that extra stuff. When you do that
Speaker 6: your first time, you're like, holy cow, I didn't know
Speaker 6: how hard this was. And then everyone kind of learns
Speaker 6: what it's like, and coaches, players, everyone. I think you
Speaker 6: kind of understand what you need to do for yourself
Speaker 6: to get through what you're expecting to happen.
Speaker 1: Facial hair experimentation.
Speaker 7: Worry, what the equation?
Speaker 6: I always experienced my off season because I'm out of boredom.
Speaker 6: But I got very used to it, and I liked
Speaker 6: it because my wife did. But I knew you guys
Speaker 6: would talk about it too much, so I had to
Speaker 6: shave it yesterday.
Speaker 4: You're going to create such a big store with it.
Speaker 6: Never know I thought it was gonna be more low key,
Speaker 6: and I'm as many people see, but that was probably
Speaker 6: dumb with me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you do it the first week.
Speaker 6: But because I've never worn a mustache before, but once
Speaker 6: you wear it for a week, you get used to it,
Speaker 6: and it's not a big deal until you see someone
Speaker 6: who hasn't seen you yet, and then they look at
Speaker 6: you very Weirdly's I learned to demands respect. Whether it's
Speaker 6: good respect or bad respect, no respect, it still makes
Speaker 6: someone decide.
Speaker 7: But I can't care anything.
Speaker 1: He inspired some people in the process.
Speaker 2: I think some nice stashes in the in the in
Speaker 2: the early check ins the.
Speaker 5: Off season, you said to us, hey, you know, we
Speaker 5: really want to add some finishers.
Speaker 7: How do you define that?
Speaker 5: And now looking back at the off season, did you
Speaker 5: were able to add some finishers?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we always want I mean that's that's one of
Speaker 2: the things we are always talking about, adding finishers.
Speaker 1: And what is finishing meaning? It means finishing the day.
Speaker 2: It means finishing a meeting, a finishing that game, finishing
Speaker 2: a series, finishing a season. That's important in this league
Speaker 2: because this league is a grind and you need people
Speaker 2: that can close things out. And you know, I think
Speaker 2: as close as we come, I think you just keep
Speaker 2: adding those type of people and you give yourself a chance.
Speaker 2: Kyle and I I think kind of raised the same
Speaker 2: way my dad used to say in life. All you
Speaker 2: want is a chance and you have to earn that.
Speaker 2: His dad used to say that as a head coach
Speaker 2: all the time. I remember hearing that in my years
Speaker 2: at Denver. We have a chance. This him as a chance.
Speaker 2: It's a it's an awesome opportunity that we have going
Speaker 2: into camp. I'm really excited. Uh it's uh, I'm fired up,
Speaker 2: and uh I think, Uh, that's that's why you need finishers,
Speaker 2: to h to close everything you do, to finish everything
Speaker 2: you do, John.
Speaker 11: Agents, that's the best time to have your player pulled
Speaker 11: out is when you're playing for a team that is
Speaker 11: on the verge or close to winning a championship.
Speaker 10: That's the most pressure on its.
Speaker 7: How do you react to that on the other.
Speaker 2: Side of it, Well, I guess I understand that narrative,
Speaker 2: but you know, we we're trying to have success right
Speaker 2: now Jason first and foremost, but always keep in mind
Speaker 2: of out into the future, and so that's what we'll
Speaker 2: continue to do. That's that's our charge, that's our our
Speaker 2: that's who we are as an organization, and we're going
Speaker 2: to push each year to compete for championships and do so.
Speaker 2: You know, I think in a responsible way, and that's
Speaker 2: what we try to do.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's been good. It's been good to us.
Speaker 2: We've got to find a way to be a little
Speaker 2: bit better, and I'm excited for that opportunity.
Speaker 10: John, have you guys had.
Speaker 5: To watch the Netflix Receiver and did you learn anything
Speaker 5: from Debo and Kiddle watching it, or even just about
Speaker 5: the team in general watching it from them.
Speaker 2: I haven't watched it, you know, I hear a lot
Speaker 2: my kids have watched it. I don't have anything against it.
Speaker 2: I think there's great programming. You know, during those forty
Speaker 2: days away, I try to really, you know, embrace my
Speaker 2: family and embrace some of the things we're doing, our
Speaker 2: kids and all that.
Speaker 1: So I've shut it off.
Speaker 2: Maybe I get to it as we're traveling this this season,
Speaker 2: but I have not. I've heard great things about the content.
Speaker 2: It's the world we live in, and I think some
Speaker 2: of those things are exciting. I think back to I
Speaker 2: think I was the first player, me and Jerry Rice
Speaker 2: and Super Bowl thirty seven to wear a live mike
Speaker 2: the game, and that was such a foreign concept then.
Speaker 2: It just it was unheard of, and John Madden tucked
Speaker 2: me into it because he said you'll have this for
Speaker 2: your kids someday. I was most concerned about my mom
Speaker 2: hearing my language on the field. Nowadays, I think people
Speaker 2: are accustomed to it. It's just kind of what you
Speaker 2: what you know, and they're they're going even further. I'm
Speaker 2: in some of this stuff hard knocks during the off season.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like, all right, those guys can have that. We
Speaker 2: like doing our business the way we like doing our business.
Speaker 7: So I'm the same.
Speaker 6: My son has told me everything about it, but I've
Speaker 6: personally watched it.
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Thank you, guys.
