The questions to Kelly may be paraphrased.
What do you think about when you make that long flight back from Atlanta?
CK: "We were working because we have a short week this week because we play on Saturday. Obviously grading the tape from Atlanta and then moving on to the Rams so there was a lot of homework on the plane."
What did you guys see while reviewing the film?

There is a theory that injuries tend to mount more during tough seasons. Have you taken note of that?
"I haven't looked at anybody else. I just know that we are a little banged up right now."
Do you have to make moves before Saturday's game to bring in more bodies?
Practice squad or free agents?
"We haven't met. I think it's a combination of both, to be honest with you."
What are you leaning on to get you through each day?
"You've got to get up each day and go to work and try to be better than the day you were before. We've got a good attitude. We control our attitude. We control our effort. And those are the things that you worry about. Don't worry about the things that you don't control and just keep moving forward. The guys that had to play yesterday, some guys were really forced to play out of position. You can't fault them for that but I thought they gave good effort. It's tough sometimes when you've got guys playing out of position."
"No. We discussed it as a group. That was the decision that we made. That's about it."
When you say "we," does that include any players?
"No."
Just the coaching staff?
Do you agree with Colin Kaepernick's comments that the culture with the 49ers needs to change?
"I know that winning needs to change to a degree. I don't know what the cultural part of it means. I know we need to win football games and part of being in a winning culture is winning. It's tough to say you're in a winning culture when you're not winning."
What was your reaction to the comment?
"I don't have a reaction to that. I'm not anything on that. I don't think anything of it. I think Kap's like everybody else. He's frustrated. Kap goes out and prepares each week and competes each week. I love the way he prepares. I love the way he competes. So I don't really think about that, to be honest with you."
"Yes."
Would you ever consider playing Christian Ponder to see what he has?
"We evaluate our players every day and get an opportunity to see them every day and we believe Kap gives us our best chance to win on Saturday."
In your mind, what is creating a winning culture?
At some point, you have got to have players though, right?
"Yeah, I think everybody controls what they can control. We all have a mindset that we have to show up with and that's what we can control so don't worry about the other things."
Is losing contagious and is that something that you will have to work through going into Saturday?
"No. I think people that say that are just making excuses for why they lose."
What is your relationship with Trent Baalke like right now?
"I have a great relationship with Trent. We work every day. He's got a great group of guys that he works with. Tommy Gamble, Ethan [Waugh], Matt Malaspina, the whole group up there. They're working as hard as anybody in this organization and trying to put together a football team. I have a great working relationship. Just a relation, not a working relation, but a great relationship with Trent."
How involved is Jed York?
"Jed's around all the time. We have weekly meetings."
What is your reaction to Christian McCaffrey saying that he will not play in Stanford's Bowl game some he can prepare for the draft?
"I would try to gather more information. Is he hurt? Is there something that's lingering with him? There's always things that aren't reported or that you don't understand. The 'behind the scenes' part of it that weight into the decision. That's the first I've heard of it. I've watched him practice. I've been up there for spring ball. I know, talking to David [Shaw] and watching them, he has to pull him out of stuff in spring ball when the kid's chomping at the bit to practice. every interaction that I've had with him has been very, very impressive. It would be very presumptuous for me to make any opinion on something I just heard about."
Let's assume that he is 100-percent healthy.
"That's hypotheticals and I don't deal with that, Murph."
