Klint Kubiak and Joe DeCamillis Presser - 10.30.26

Klint Kubiak (0:00)

All right, so JPJ is questionable, and Patrick Johnson is out. I'll take any of your questions.

SPEAKER_2 (0:06)

All right, in regards to Jack Fesh, are you anticipating, activated him this week?

Klint Kubiak (0:10)

Yeah, we got till tomorrow. So we'll see who it's going to be.

SPEAKER_2 (0:14)

Also, as far as Dante, you think there's a chance for him to get any playing time on Sunday, or is it still TBD as well?

Klint Kubiak (0:20)

TBD, yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (0:23)

With Patrick down, is there a chance that you're going to elevate?

Klint Kubiak (0:26)

Thank you.

SPEAKER_3 (0:27)

I'm talking about. Happy Halloween.

With Patrick down, is there a chance that Keon gets elevated again?

Klint Kubiak (0:34)

We'll see tomorrow.

SPEAKER_3 (0:35)

You named Ashton, Max, and Dylan as captains. What did you see from them in particular this week?

Klint Kubiak (0:42)

It's really a body of work. And every week we name new captains, and those are guys that have been great leaders for our football team, doing things the right way, and excited for Max, excited for Ashton, excited for all three of those guys, and gotta go play, gotta go perform.

SPEAKER_2 (1:02)

Jalen, the other, like Phil, he's getting separation, he's getting open down the field. What's it gonna take for him and Cousins to turn those things to big plays?

Klint Kubiak (1:11)

Yeah, I think it's time on task as it continues to go, and those guys have really developed a really good relationship, and we're expecting Jalen to make plays, Trey, and others in there, gotta get open and Kirk's gotta go through his progressions.

SPEAKER_5 (1:26)

You talk about the competitions every week at certain positions. How did you see the guys respond this week to competition?

Klint Kubiak (1:33)

Yeah, well, when you're fighting for playing time, there is no better motivator. So that's something that we're always doing. We got a young roster, and we gotta see who's gonna be a big part of us moving forward.

SPEAKER_6 (1:45)

I know you highlighted at times Trey Tucker's conditioning. When did that show itself to you for the first time? And when did you gauge how unique that was?

Klint Kubiak (1:54)

I think that's what a starting NFL receiver has to do. You have to be in great shape. You gotta be able to run. You gotta go play 70 plays a game at full speed.

So that's the expectation for that room, and he really sticks out. He's stood out since April.

SPEAKER_6 (2:08)

What kind of weapon is that for you guys that he can have a finishing kick in the fourth quarter with his speed because of his conditioning?

Klint Kubiak (2:15)

Yes, yeah, that's again, that's the expectation. It's really good that he's in great shape, but we got to all be in as good a shape as him.

SPEAKER_7 (2:23)

You mentioned switching some things up on the offensive line and Trey Zune having more of an opportunity. You talked about him being a Swiss Army knife. What have you seen from him this weekend? Do you see him getting an opportunity this Sunday?

Klint Kubiak (2:34)

Trey had an injury a few weeks ago. He's battled back through it, getting healthy. And I just see a guy that's working hard, a guy that is accountable, and a young man that has a bright future ahead of him, and just got to keep getting better.

SPEAKER_7 (2:47)

You're interested in getting any playing time on Sunday?

Klint Kubiak (2:49)

Could be.

SPEAKER_2 (2:51)

Do you like operating between areas? You can house that quarterback already. Are you hoping one of those guys kind of like solidify that position at some point?

Klint Kubiak (2:59)

Yeah, well, you know, it's a good thing to have, to have guys that, many guys that can play. And, you know, whether it's at any skill position, receivers and defensive backs, you know, you are going to rotate guys. In a perfect world, yeah, you want two guys that are going to play every snap.

But, you know, every situation is different. We got multiple guys that can play.

SPEAKER_3 (3:19)

After you talked about needing to trust himself a little bit more in running the ball, just what does he mean by that?

Klint Kubiak (3:26)

You know, we just got to go perform. We got to go produce, go produce on Sunday. So that's what it's about for the entire offense.

SPEAKER_6 (3:34)

Outdoor game, early kick, is there anything you can take away from New England, you know, to prep for this experience in similar circumstances?

Klint Kubiak (3:41)

Yes, yeah, absolutely. Just the importance of getting up, getting out of bed, and getting ready to roll, and getting ready to start fast.
