00:00Here's Kyle Shanahan, Carver High.

00:08What's he up to?

00:09Because it sounds to me like he's playing shenanigans.

00:13Well that's what he's best at and he's unfortunately for him he's had to do it all year because

00:18he's had star player after star player after star player be injured whether it was McCaffrey

00:24earlier in the year then Aiyuk and Debo now he's on to Nick Bosa and Trent Williams and

00:31the question is are they going to play this week?

00:33Well they might and they might not.

00:36He definitely could be good for Sunday and he definitely could not be good for Sunday

00:40so that's why I don't think about it yet and similar to the Tampa week when you got guys

00:45who are hurting I don't ask them how if they're going to play I don't ask them after the game

00:50on Sunday I don't ask them Monday when they're too hurt to practice on Wednesday and you

00:55know when it's a guy who hasn't done it before and they're a part of the game plan and you

00:59know sometimes I'll tell guys you got to start to get out there we're going to rule you out

01:03but when it comes to a guy like Bosa when it comes to a guy like Trent their position

01:07the veterans they are how they play I mean those guys have all the way to kickoff for

01:10me so I just look at it just like Tampa and towards the end of the week I'll have a better

01:15feel and that's when he'll have a better feel and we'll discuss.

01:20No, what it really means in Portuguese is if they make enough money they can do whatever

01:24they want.

01:27You can absolutely say that that factors into it as well.

01:31I look I get part of it and Williams is one of those guys Williams has always got something

01:37going on with him but he does play the majority of the time either way and I get it you can

01:43let him tell you all the way up until an hour before the game all right I'm ready to go.
