WEBVTT - Kyle Juszczyk Breaks Down Veteran Training Plan | Press Pass

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately.

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that I got like thirty people. Yeah, I

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 2>saw another another like local media guy had the same thing.

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>What's his name A Cash? Yeah?

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Is it true? Yesterday was your first Veterans Day.

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Off ever, it's my first one. It only took twelve years,

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 2>but I embraced it. It's strange a little bit. Yeah,

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I had to. I had to ask Christian for tips.

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>He's uh, he's well versed in him. But yeah, No,

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>it was. Uh, It's something Kyle and I had talked

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>about before training camp, about mixing a few in this year,

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I think it was. It was good

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>for me. I felt fresh today.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Branch Night was just in here talking about kick return stuff.

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 3>We've seen you and Deebo kind of working together. Yeah,

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 3>what's your what's your take on just kind of the

0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 3>new rule and maybe.

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and be involved in Yeah, I think it's it's

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>super interesting and just my gut feeling is that I

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna be like a much bigger play than

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people anticipate. There's like some real opportunities

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>for big plays and I think I think I could

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I could help in that. I think Debo could definitely

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 2>help in that. I think we could be a good

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>combo back there because there's a lot of moving parts

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>and uh there, there has to be kind of a

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>natural feel for those returners back there and and sometimes

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just you know, things that you just have to

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>be able to play off each other well. And I

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>think we do that good. But I'm I'm really excited.

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I think this could be a really big deal and

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>could really change field position.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 3>What a natural feel? Is there an element of just

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 3>like it feels like an offensive play, particularly with you

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 3>and Debo.

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>It really is a lot it's it's basically a wide

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>zone play once you get the ball in your hands.

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's gonna be one of the hardest

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>thing is is getting the ball in your hands. I

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna be kind of a game of keep away.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I think the the kickers are really going to try

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>and mix it up with different balls and make it

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>hard to field and all that kind of stuff. But

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 2>once you get that ball, it's really like a wide

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>zone where you know you're you're pressing your gap and

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 2>cutting off of people. And yeah, I do kind of

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 2>see it like an offensive play as.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Far as days off, do you and you know the

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>team in general have to look ahead to January and

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, possibly playing deep into January, And are you

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.399
<v Speaker 1>sort of looking at that now and sort of kind

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of gauging where you'll.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Be right right, Like yes and no, Like I'm not

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>necessarily like thinking specifically about January and all that, but

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I do think we're all very conscious and more aware

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>of how long of a season it is and how

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>long of seasons has been for us the last you know,

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 2>four or five years, and you do need to like

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>think about that now in pacing yourself. It's so like yesterday,

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's our first day in pads, and I'm like,

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>even it's my off Dave, but I'm like, I'm itching

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>to get out there because you're just natural competitors, your

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>football players. Like first day of pads is like a

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of a ceremonious day. But you got to remind yourself, like,

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>all right, me going out and proving myself here on

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>the first day of pads, what are we doing like that,

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>That's not the goal. The goal is to be healthy

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>throughout the season and deep into the season, and so

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, managing those reps early on will help that

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>down the road.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.839
<v Speaker 1>And you look back at last season. Is there any

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>thought that the way that you began the playoffs, which

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody agrees wasn't quite your peak against Green

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Bay and early on against the Lions. Did that have

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with season long fatigue or was it

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the Week seventeen game or I.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't know, honestly, I don't.

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>There's Uh, it's tough to say yeah, because we you know,

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>we kind of had that Week seventeen where not everybody

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 2>played and we had a bye week. But you're always

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you're always juggling health versus rhythm, and you know what

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>to do in those scenarios. But I think you guys

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>can tell me for sure, But I think the math

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 2>would say that health and like people who have that

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>bye week typically the math has said that they're they

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>have a better chance of making the super Bowl. So

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's smart to to rest guys and have

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>them healthy. But you know, you're always playing that game

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>at rhythm versus freshness.

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 3>You were pretty uh eloquent. I thought after the super Bowl,

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 3>talking to meet the immediate aftermath about the need to

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>come back and try again. And then you go through

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 3>an offseason that as a contract thing that couldn't have

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 3>been real fun for you to go through while other

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 3>guys are cashing in the opposite direction in terms of money.

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 3>What what was your thought process and in putting all

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 3>that together and coming.

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Back, Yeah, I had a lot of thoughts and and

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>and it it it changed as the days went on,

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, obviously, Like I wasn't too happy when I

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>was first presented with that, but it's one of those

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>things that you kind of have to work through it.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>And at the end of the day, like I feel

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 2>like I have the best opportunity in the world to

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>play here for the Niners, and and I do think

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>that I'm still I'm being I'm being taken care of,

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, in a good ways as a fullback on

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>this team, and I'm I am happy with my role

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>and uh yeah, like you know, my ego took some shots.

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, I want to

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 2>be on a team that all these superstars are getting

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>paid that this, you know, more money, because that means

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 2>they did something pretty good the year before, and I

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 2>feel part of that. So all in all, you know,

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm just happy to be on this team

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and have another opportunity to go win a Super Bowl.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Does it feel like business issues are sort of hanging

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>over this team in a way that it hasn't in

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the past seven years? No, just because I feel like

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>every year there's kind of been someone in that position.

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 2>So honestly, I feel kind of well versed in it,

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's it really is something that like in the

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 2>locker room, we don't take personally and we understand, like,

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, guys go through that stuff and a lot

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>of guys have gone through it ourselves, So I think

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>there's a good understanding in the locker room of it.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>When you know, rock Cat four of his final five

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>passes intercepted today.

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>The one he did it was to you, But yeah,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>they what's his demeanor like and because this is camp

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 2>where you should try.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>To fit things into windows? Does he dismiss it? Does

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>he does that competitive rage come out of him? It

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.359
<v Speaker 1>just seems like he understands his camp.

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Quite Honestly, I didn't really observe him after that,

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.840
<v Speaker 2>so I can't say exactly, but just kind of going

0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>off of just Brock, you know, the three years that

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I've been with them that, I mean, he's a super

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>competitive guy and he expects a lot of himself, but

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>he always seems to handle those things well. You know,

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 2>he's not throwing a temper, tantrum or anything like that,

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>but he's still hard on himself and and generally stays

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty positive. So I didn't see him exactly, but that's

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>what i'd expect.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of the new guys in the

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>room with Taylor and Grendo?

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 2>And been impressed, Been really impressed with those guys. I

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 2>think we have a really special running back room. I

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 2>quite honestly, I think this is the best running back

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 2>room I've ever been in, from top to bottom. I

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 2>think we got some really good players and been particularly

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 2>impressed with Cody Schrader. He's works his absolute tail off.

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>He's very intelligent, and he goes out there and just

0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 2>plays a good, consistent, clean game, and we've really enjoyed

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>having him. But all those guys have been impressive. They're

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 2>all very smart, do things the right way, and I

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>love our room.

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 3>It was it was a little tough day for Brock,

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 3>but it's really his first off season being in training

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 3>camp but getting all the reps. Where do you see

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 3>him compared to what he.

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Was like last year?

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just I think I've seen improvement even you know,

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>if if if he had a few picks today. In general,

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Brock has has improved.

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, the confidence seems to be there more. The

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the arm strength seems to be there a little bit more.

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>I think, you know, putting the pads on the path,

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the pass rush starts to get a little more real.

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>So it may take a day or two to adjust.

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not here to make excuses for Brock, so

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure he'll speak on that. But uh, I expect

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 2>only good things from him.
