1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: Unfortunately.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: I think that I got like thirty people. Yeah, I

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: saw another another like local media guy had the same thing.

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 2: What's his name A Cash? Yeah?

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 3: Is it true? Yesterday was your first Veterans Day.

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 2: Off ever, it's my first one. It only took twelve years,

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: but I embraced it. It's strange a little bit. Yeah,

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: I had to. I had to ask Christian for tips.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: He's uh, he's well versed in him. But yeah, No,

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: it was. Uh, It's something Kyle and I had talked

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: about before training camp, about mixing a few in this year,

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: and you know, I think it was. It was good

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: for me. I felt fresh today.

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: Branch Night was just in here talking about kick return stuff.

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: We've seen you and Deebo kind of working together. Yeah,

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: what's your what's your take on just kind of the

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: new rule and maybe.

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah and be involved in Yeah, I think it's it's

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: super interesting and just my gut feeling is that I

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be like a much bigger play than

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: a lot of people anticipate. There's like some real opportunities

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: for big plays and I think I think I could

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: I could help in that. I think Debo could definitely

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: help in that. I think we could be a good

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: combo back there because there's a lot of moving parts

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: and uh there, there has to be kind of a

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: natural feel for those returners back there and and sometimes

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: it's just you know, things that you just have to

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: be able to play off each other well. And I

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: think we do that good. But I'm I'm really excited.

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: I think this could be a really big deal and

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: could really change field position.

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 3: What a natural feel? Is there an element of just

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: like it feels like an offensive play, particularly with you

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: and Debo.

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: It really is a lot it's it's basically a wide

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: zone play once you get the ball in your hands.

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: But I think that's gonna be one of the hardest

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: thing is is getting the ball in your hands. I

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be kind of a game of keep away.

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: I think the the kickers are really going to try

42
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: and mix it up with different balls and make it

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: hard to field and all that kind of stuff. But

44
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: once you get that ball, it's really like a wide

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: zone where you know you're you're pressing your gap and

46
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 2: cutting off of people. And yeah, I do kind of

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: see it like an offensive play as.

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: Far as days off, do you and you know the

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: team in general have to look ahead to January and

50
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, possibly playing deep into January, And are you

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: sort of looking at that now and sort of kind

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: of gauging where you'll.

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: Be right right, Like yes and no, Like I'm not

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: necessarily like thinking specifically about January and all that, but

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: I do think we're all very conscious and more aware

56
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: of how long of a season it is and how

57
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: long of seasons has been for us the last you know,

58
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: four or five years, and you do need to like

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: think about that now in pacing yourself. It's so like yesterday,

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: you know, it's our first day in pads, and I'm like,

61
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: even it's my off Dave, but I'm like, I'm itching

62
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: to get out there because you're just natural competitors, your

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: football players. Like first day of pads is like a

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: kind of a ceremonious day. But you got to remind yourself, like,

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: all right, me going out and proving myself here on

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: the first day of pads, what are we doing like that,

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: That's not the goal. The goal is to be healthy

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: throughout the season and deep into the season, and so

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: you know, managing those reps early on will help that

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: down the road.

71
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: And you look back at last season. Is there any

72
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: thought that the way that you began the playoffs, which

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: I think everybody agrees wasn't quite your peak against Green

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Bay and early on against the Lions. Did that have

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: anything to do with season long fatigue or was it

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the Week seventeen game or I.

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: Don't know, honestly, I don't.

78
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: There's Uh, it's tough to say yeah, because we you know,

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: we kind of had that Week seventeen where not everybody

81
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: played and we had a bye week. But you're always

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: you're always juggling health versus rhythm, and you know what

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: to do in those scenarios. But I think you guys

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: can tell me for sure, But I think the math

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: would say that health and like people who have that

86
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: bye week typically the math has said that they're they

87
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: have a better chance of making the super Bowl. So

88
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: I think it's smart to to rest guys and have

89
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: them healthy. But you know, you're always playing that game

90
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: at rhythm versus freshness.

91
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: You were pretty uh eloquent. I thought after the super Bowl,

92
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: talking to meet the immediate aftermath about the need to

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: come back and try again. And then you go through

94
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: an offseason that as a contract thing that couldn't have

95
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: been real fun for you to go through while other

96
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: guys are cashing in the opposite direction in terms of money.

97
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: What what was your thought process and in putting all

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: that together and coming.

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: Back, Yeah, I had a lot of thoughts and and

100
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: and it it it changed as the days went on,

101
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, Like I wasn't too happy when I

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: was first presented with that, but it's one of those

103
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: things that you kind of have to work through it.

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, like I feel

105
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: like I have the best opportunity in the world to

106
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: play here for the Niners, and and I do think

107
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: that I'm still I'm being I'm being taken care of,

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: you know, in a good ways as a fullback on

109
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: this team, and I'm I am happy with my role

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, like you know, my ego took some shots.

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I want to

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: be on a team that all these superstars are getting

113
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: paid that this, you know, more money, because that means

114
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: they did something pretty good the year before, and I

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: feel part of that. So all in all, you know,

116
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just happy to be on this team

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: and have another opportunity to go win a Super Bowl.

118
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: Does it feel like business issues are sort of hanging

119
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: over this team in a way that it hasn't in

120
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: the past seven years? No, just because I feel like

121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: every year there's kind of been someone in that position.

122
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: So honestly, I feel kind of well versed in it,

123
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: and it's it really is something that like in the

124
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: locker room, we don't take personally and we understand, like,

125
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: you know, guys go through that stuff and a lot

126
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: of guys have gone through it ourselves, So I think

127
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: there's a good understanding in the locker room of it.

128
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: When you know, rock Cat four of his final five

129
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: passes intercepted today.

130
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: The one he did it was to you, But yeah,

131
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: they what's his demeanor like and because this is camp

132
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: where you should try.

133
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: To fit things into windows? Does he dismiss it? Does

134
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: he does that competitive rage come out of him? It

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: just seems like he understands his camp.

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Quite Honestly, I didn't really observe him after that,

137
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: so I can't say exactly, but just kind of going

138
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: off of just Brock, you know, the three years that

139
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: I've been with them that, I mean, he's a super

140
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: competitive guy and he expects a lot of himself, but

141
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: he always seems to handle those things well. You know,

142
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: he's not throwing a temper, tantrum or anything like that,

143
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: but he's still hard on himself and and generally stays

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: pretty positive. So I didn't see him exactly, but that's

145
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: what i'd expect.

146
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: What do you think of the new guys in the

147
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: room with Taylor and Grendo?

148
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: And been impressed, Been really impressed with those guys. I

149
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: think we have a really special running back room. I

150
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: quite honestly, I think this is the best running back

151
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: room I've ever been in, from top to bottom. I

152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: think we got some really good players and been particularly

153
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: impressed with Cody Schrader. He's works his absolute tail off.

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: He's very intelligent, and he goes out there and just

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: plays a good, consistent, clean game, and we've really enjoyed

156
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: having him. But all those guys have been impressive. They're

157
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: all very smart, do things the right way, and I

158
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: love our room.

159
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: It was it was a little tough day for Brock,

160
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: but it's really his first off season being in training

161
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: camp but getting all the reps. Where do you see

162
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: him compared to what he.

163
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: Was like last year?

164
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I think I've seen improvement even you know,

165
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: if if if he had a few picks today. In general,

166
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: I feel like Brock has has improved.

167
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

168
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: You know, the confidence seems to be there more. The

169
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: the arm strength seems to be there a little bit more.

170
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: I think, you know, putting the pads on the path,

171
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: the pass rush starts to get a little more real.

172
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: So it may take a day or two to adjust.

173
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: But I'm not here to make excuses for Brock, so

174
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll speak on that. But uh, I expect

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: only good things from him.

176
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Yep.

177
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: Thanks
