WEBVTT - Shanahan Shares Updates on QB Situation, Player Injuries from #LACvsSF | Press Pass

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:00.480
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Injuries from the night Zaane Goazalez, Peter's right calf and

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:09.399
<v Speaker 2>pregame warm ups, never was able to participate. Chris Conley shoulder,

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 2>he had to leave. Aj Parker pulled his hamstring. Taylor

0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Hawkins we think broke his hand, and that was it

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 2>from today.

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Can you talk about the just the logic of getting

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 3>rid of trade for a fourth round pick, like why

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 3>was that a good.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Move for the organization. Well, we decided our two were

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be that we were going with.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 2>We'll see our fifty three works out to see if

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna keep three or not. And when we told Trey,

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>when we told him that he wasn't the two, I said,

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>we'd like to keep him here as the three, but

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:44.480
<v Speaker 2>we also want to do what's good for him too,

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 2>and we'll see how this plays out.

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>When we looked at other teams and he told us

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 2>that he would like another opportunity to go somewhereere we

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to be the two. We thought we

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 2>got some good deals for him. There's a number of

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 2>teams involved. To end up getting in the fourth was

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>a little better than we anticipated and clears up a

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of money and allows a better situation for him too.

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Did he request the trade and was it a situation

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 3>where it was unrepairable to the point where if he

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>wasn't traded you would have had to release him.

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it was it was never unprepared on what

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you just call it.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>We could always fit. I mean we were good and

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 1>like trading it.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Actually had a great conversation with them today, had a

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 2>tough conversation when I told him he didn't win the

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 2>second job. Today was much easier just going through it

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 2>for the last couple of days with them. But no,

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing to fix it was.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>It was what it was.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>And I told him when we told him that he

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>was going to be the three, if he could find

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 2>another other opportunity that was good.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 1>We'd allow him to do that.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>And he did, and we feel he'll be better for

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 2>it and think we will too. Why do you end

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback competition after before the third season?

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Because I knew it. I thought it would take longer.

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to go through this game, but I knew it,

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and I think a lot of guys knew it.

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think he had an idea.

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>It was more about my relationship with Trey that you know,

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm in meetings with him every day and stuff, I'm

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>on the field with them every day, and I could

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 2>get a sense that he was starting to feel that

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>we felt that way, and it was the truth, and

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be sham so once I thought

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>that he once we knew, and once I could tell

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 2>he knew that we knew. I remember the night before

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I realized, you know, I'm gonna come in the morning

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>and tell him. I don't want that between us. So

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I did. Didn't expect it to get out right away,

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>but it did. But that was something I thought I

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>owed to Trey, and I told Trey right before a

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 2>team meeting that we had I didn't get a chance

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.399
<v Speaker 2>to even tell Sam or anyone else on the team.

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 2>That was just a personal thing between Trey and I,

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and it obviously got output.

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>That's why I thought it was important to tell him.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 4>You on Wednesday, you didn't tell us that you want

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 4>to tell the players first?

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>What was your reason to mean?

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>My reasoning was, yeah, I would love to tell the

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>players first. I'd love to tell Sam first. We were

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.399
<v Speaker 2>hoping that Tray was gonna come to prac to still

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and I totally understood why he didn't.

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>He asked if he could have it off because.

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was a little emotional and stuff. Didn't

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>want to be around the players like that. And totally

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 2>understood that, but we're still hoping he would come. And

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>then by the time he did it, I wasn't have

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a meeting on the field to tell the players who

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 2>he announced as a second string guy, and I had

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>not to mention. Practice ended up one forty three, and

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I had a radio show at one forty five, and

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>so I got on a radio show and I talked

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>about it for twenty minutes there, and that's what I

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>felt good with because I thought if I talked about

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>it there, you guys would get that information. Unfortunately, I

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>found out that that radio show is delayed because of

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>a baseball game they win its extra ending, so you

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>guys didn't find out till four thirty. So if I

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>would have had it over, I would have told you

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>guys right away. But usually when I do a radio show,

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>you guys get that stuff pretty fast. So I thought

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>you guys had it, and I realized that you didn't

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>until about four thirty.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Today find darnold, did you tell Trey this could be

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 3>the backup.

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Was it clear to him? And if it was, what

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>was his reaction?

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Even like that, I told Trey the same thing I

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>told you guys. It brought since day one. So I mean,

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it's been everything we've told you guys.

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>We've told him.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>We said, if Brock was healthy, it was gonna be

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>hard for anyone to beat him out with what he

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>put on tape last year. If he's not healthy, Sam

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 2>and Trey were competing for the one spot. If he was,

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 2>we thought they'd be competing for the two. And so

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>we said before they got here. So they said when

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 2>they got here, O TAS and training camp, And that's

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>the way it worked out.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>They had OTAs together, they had all these.

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Practices and Sam won that competition.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 4>Let Sam show you during the practice and during during

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 4>camp to make you and the staff feel that he

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 4>was the better choice.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Just everything, the whole body of work. He got better

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>as it went.

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was tight for a little bit, and

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.679
<v Speaker 2>just over the last couple of weeks and stuff started

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 2>to separate himself each day, and just the more comfortable

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 2>he got, the more consistent he got. I think it

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>was pretty apparent for all of us clarified.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 4>Did he request the trade. Which day did that happen?

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 4>And how's that compete?

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>When Trey and I talked, we talked about all the

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>situations going forward, and I told him how much I'd

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 2>still want him here, to be the three and things

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>like that. I also told him that what I think

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>is best for Trey. I do think Trey needs an

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to play more the opportunities he's had here. When

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>he has had those two opportunities, he's gotten hurt in

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 2>both of them and kind of missed that window a

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit. Gave an opportunity for someone else to do it,

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>and that person did it and stayed healthy for those

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 2>seven games and showed us something that we're confident in

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and Trey kind of needs that again and he didn't

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>get that here, And so I told him that's what

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I think is best for him. If he can find

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 2>a good opportunity. If he doesn't and he wants to

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>be here, well we want him here. And Trey took

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of time to think about it, but

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>he came back and said he'd like to find another

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>spot if we can, and that's when we started looking

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>into it.

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>His agent us, and that came to fruition today.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 4>First conversation was Wednesday, and Thursday he came back and.

0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Said, I'd rather now. The first conversation was Wednesday.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 2>About an hour and a half later he came and

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 2>told me that he would like that. He'd also like

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 2>to not have to go out to practice and stuff,

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>just to get his stuff together and think about it.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>And that's what he did.

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>And the next day he came in and was at

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 2>our walkthrough, was at our meetings last night. We didn't

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 2>know if something would happen today. Him and I were

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>communicating about it yesterday. The possibilities of it told him

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 2>a possible some teams that were interested, So I was

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about those options last night. What I thought was

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 2>best what he did, and then today some other teams

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 2>became interested. And if they wanted of he would have

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 2>been out at that game and stuff, and we would

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>have tried to go with him as our three. But

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 2>some good stuff did come up, and some stuff that

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he's really excited about, especially tell him to day.

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I could tell he was, and some things we are too.

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Did give up a lot for him.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 4>He's still young.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 3>Was this a failure of evaluation? A failure of circumstance,

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 3>how would you characterize this move.

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously we took our shot and it didn't

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>work out, So I mean that's on us for that.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not going to say anything as in failure

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to I mean, that'd be too much of a negative

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 2>towards Trey. I get our deal. We took a shot

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 2>to go for that. We were hoping that he could

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>be our guy and that didn't work out. So I

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.119
<v Speaker 2>understand that from our standpoint. But I still do believe

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>in Trey. And you know, about three years ago, you know,

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 2>we had the twelfth pick in the draft, you know,

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>after that COVID year, but we thought we had a

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 2>really good team and we didn't think we'd have a

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>chance again to get close to that top area to

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>take a quarterback in the top ten. And when you

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>have the twelfth pick in the draft, we went into

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>a realizing it was a risk. But we thought we

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 2>weren't going to pick that high again for a couple

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>of years and we would never have a chance to

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>move from twelve to three. We tried to move up

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 2>to a number of spots before that, but three was

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 2>the first one that would do it. You know, we

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>looked in everything between twelve and three, and we got

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that and we took our shots something we believed in

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>in a person we believed in. I was hoping he

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>could play more's first year. We knew we wouldn't come

0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>in and just take it over from Jimmy, but we

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>were hoping to fix it in and kind of give

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>him some experience. But once he broke the finger and stuff,

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>it just got tough for him. As time went. We

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>knew we'd commit to him the next year, which we did.

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>We knew he wasn't.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Fully ready in every aspect, but we knew we had

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 2>a skill set that we could put some stuff together

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>to give him the chance to compete and grow with

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the good team as he developed as a full quarterback.

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 2>And he got hurt in the first quarter of the

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 2>second game, which kind of set that back. And now

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>we're here in the third year, and you know, we

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>still got a good team and we thought it would

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>be Trey. I think we got pretty fortunate falling into

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.439
<v Speaker 2>still having a rookie quarterback in our third year that

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>happened to be the seventh round pick. And we also

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 2>looked back at it is we didn't think with having

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 2>the twenty ninth pick, which you know, those two first

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 2>round picks were ended up being the twenty ninth pick

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>in the draft, in the draft, which we're expecting it

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 2>to be late, and we were hoping it would be

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty two or something like that. But we knew, we know,

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>with two first round picks that are both at twenty nine,

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 2>you can never even consider to move up to something

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.439
<v Speaker 2>like that, And so we had to act then and

0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 2>we did. Didn't work out, which can be a huge challenge,

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>but so I feel pretty fortunate what we fell into.

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Was able to go over the options with you this

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 4>morning before you accepted the trade, and then how did

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>you convey that.

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>To the team.

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I just told the team that to just I told

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 2>them after the deal, just you know, anytime you trade

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback and things like that, I mean, all those

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.319
<v Speaker 2>guys are going through some similar stuff. I'm gonna have

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of tough conversations with a lot of guys

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>over these next few days. But I always told them

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>the circumstances are different when it's under this magnitude someone

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback position, someone who was drafted like him. So

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I just told them that's that's not a that's that's

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 2>up for John and I decide. I hope they trust

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 2>us with what's best for the team, but they just

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 2>got to be prepared for those questions and stuff, which

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to know much about.

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 3>With the status of Jay and Moody.

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>And how long that's week to week right now, or

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 2>we're hoping that he can have a chance for week one.

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>He ended up straining his squad last week in practice

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.319
<v Speaker 2>and we'll see how his body reacts to it.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Danegre does that mean you have to.

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Look at we most likely got to and we definitely

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 2>got to have a plan B for week one? You know,

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Zane could have been that, but you know he's probably

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be ready for week one too, looking at

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 2>what happened to him today.

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 3>You say it ten days ago, it kind of went

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 3>it really clarified. You go back ten days from that

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 3>that was a Raider game.

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 5>Was that kind of defining moment for this decision?

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>No? I didn't mean it that way. I mean I

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't I just throughout ten days today, I just said

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.599
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of weeks. You know, it's you know,

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 2>never you never make a decision off one day. You

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 2>never make it off a one preseason game or anything

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>like that. It's accumulation of work. Though it was a

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>lot tighter earlier on in camp. I thought the more

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Sam got comfortable, the more reps he got, the more

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>he started to separate himself.

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's been over the last few week, couple.

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Of weeks that you wish you had done differently.

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's I mean, I've I always feel like

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 2>I let trade down. I mean, I wanted him to

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>come here. I believe in Trey. I believed in him

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 2>before we took him. When I'm responsible for that. I

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to throw him into the heat of battle

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 2>right away, but I thought he needed to play, so

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>we tried to figure out every way to do that.

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if I can look back in hindsight, he

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 2>broke that finger on a helmet on that fourth preseason

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 2>game versus the Raiders.

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I wish I didn't put him in.

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>A play that had him break his finger, because I

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 2>think that really hurt him in his first year. And

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 2>not only did it hurt him not getting able to

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 2>mix in much, but it hurt him in the practice

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>time because he had to adjust how he threw and

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 2>things like that, which I think set him back for

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>a second year. We went into the second year, we

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 2>gave him every chance to do it. We were going

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 2>to make an offense that to me gave him the

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>best chance to be successful at that time, which we

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.079
<v Speaker 2>did do. And when you do that, you hope a

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 2>guy can stay healthy so he can stay out there

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 2>long enough. But that didn't last long first game and

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 2>after that, I mean, I always felt for him, and

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 2>we continue to work with them, but sometimes things don't

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 2>just don't work out.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Was there an internal struggle about when he's still a

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 3>young guy, he's three years old, he still has he's

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 3>only halfway through his rookie contract. Did you consider like

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 3>just keeping him here to just to give him a

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 3>chance to eventually be the guy that you thought you

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 3>were getting.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we do consider that.

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I just think that was hard for us to do

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>that with where we're at as a team, how much

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:42.200
<v Speaker 2>time we have given them, and the situation here where

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>we gave him every chance to beat out Sam and

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.599
<v Speaker 2>it just didn't happen. And when you look at it,

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 2>in that case, there's not much opportunities you can do

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 2>on that practice field. There isn't a there's not a

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 2>developmental league. There's not a whole field on the side

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>where we can get our players just a practice to

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 2>give him reps. You got to get the one ready

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.599
<v Speaker 2>to go, and when you're not, it's hard enough to

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 2>get the two ready to go. The three as usually

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>a guy who never gets a rep till he randomly

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 2>gets out there. And that wasn't what I felt was

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>right for Trey and with how much we had done

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 2>so far, and that was gonna be what was right

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 2>for our team either. I thought it was time to

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 2>move on for him and for us. And I'm well

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>aware of everything that happened, and unfortunately it did happen.

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>But I like where our team's at to right now,

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and I feel very good about that. And I also

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>feel very good that despite all that, just you know,

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 2>you'd love to keep a third guy to develop, especially

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a guy that you really really love and believe that

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>he could do it someday. But to do that for

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>seven million dollars over two years with places where we

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 2>are in the cap, when you can't provide those reps

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 2>and stuff for people, and you got other things with

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>our team where we're doing that, to me, doesn't make

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>much sense for the Niners.

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I wish it would, because.

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Hell yeah, we'd love to just keep them until eventually

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.719
<v Speaker 2>it works out. But that clock ran out, and that's

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.360
<v Speaker 2>why we had to make a real tough decision when

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 2>we didn't enjoy doing one we didn't want to do,

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 2>but we try to do what we think is best,

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and this is what we thinks best.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Came down to the fact that where you guys were

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 4>as a team didn't align with what Trey needed to

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 4>get where he.

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Was trying to go very much. So I mean, I

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>do think there was a chance. We thought we were

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 2>aligned as a team to win right away when we

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 2>did it with him.

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>We knew it would take him time.

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 2>But we also had to make a decision where we're

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>going to go with our team over to year window,

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 2>and we felt that our We felt if we could

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 2>get a rookie quarterback or a guy and a rookie

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>deal who could help us win Man, we could put

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>a good team around him, and we took a shot

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>with Trey because we believed he could. We knew it

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>would take some time, but in the meantime, we're gonna

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 2>have a pretty good team. And the time that we

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>did give him. When he had his ops, he miss

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>us and those weren't his fault, they weren't our fault.

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 2>They were just those are just what happens in football.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And when you take a risk on someone who does

0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 2>need to develop and does need some of that time

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and then he misses that time and we are where

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>we're at right now. It is kind of what it is,

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and I think we are very fortunate that we did

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.760
<v Speaker 2>find a guy. We still are on We still have

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 2>a rookie quarterback or a guy and a rookie deal

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 2>that has helped us put together a good team. We

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>do have a guy that we believe can win with

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 2>on that deal, and we also feel we have a

0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 2>very strong backup, and that's where we're at.

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>It's good possibility.

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure everyone's everyone's a possibility, but that's stuff we

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 2>haven't discussed yet.

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 5>Thanks right, Well, My question was last week when uh

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 5>Trey had a game winning opportunity, you had him down

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 5>the ball and hid the field goal. Do you think

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 5>that was a missed opportunity? What's that last week when

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 5>Trey was on that last drive and then you had

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 5>him down the ball and the field goal stead of

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 5>him going in for the touchdown. You think that was

0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:54.080
<v Speaker 5>a missed opportunity.

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Miss opportunity for what we evaluate?

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 5>What do you can do in that situation?

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>No, we evaluate him every day. I should have done

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that for you, but no. But we are.

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 5>Good, alright, I guess.

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Thanks
