Speaker 1: Right injuries for today. Jimmy Garoppolo will not practice. Ambry
Speaker 1: Thomas now practice, John Jennings limited ankle, Sampson Um limited ankle,
Speaker 1: and kin Law limited knee. Go ahead, Williams and most arresting.
Speaker 1: UM another good Greig green Lawn had to come out
Speaker 1: of the game. Briefly, What was the upshot of that? Ah,
Speaker 1: he's good now? How what were your impressions of just
Speaker 1: watching the Cowboys on Monday night and where they're coming
Speaker 1: in offensively? UM? I mean that they're a good team.
Speaker 1: They've been at all year, probably looked at their best
Speaker 1: on Monday night, Um, which you expected him to UM,
Speaker 1: just with atmosphere and everything, But I mean they've been
Speaker 1: good bye for a while and just watch him this week.
Speaker 1: It's reminds me of their team from last year and
Speaker 1: only improved. When you think back on that game last year?
Speaker 1: What um, when it was a big win for us,
Speaker 1: I mean, I hated how it ended, how close it
Speaker 1: got at the end. You know, I thought we made
Speaker 1: a few mistakes that um made it closer than needed
Speaker 1: to be at the end. But UM, not much. Don't
Speaker 1: don't related much of this year? What stands out about
Speaker 1: their defense? Um, I think starting with their D line,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just Dan Quinn jumps off the tape
Speaker 1: to me there, Um, the way he gets those guys
Speaker 1: to move. I mean, they got some real good rushers.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows about Lawrence and Parson, but I mean there's
Speaker 1: not one bad one there. Um. The way that they stunt,
Speaker 1: the way they can create one on ones. Um, there's
Speaker 1: a reason their number one and getting into the quarterback
Speaker 1: with sacks and pressures and um, it does jump off
Speaker 1: the tape or is every matchup? No, I think everyone's unique.
Speaker 1: I don't think that matters much. I mean, if you've
Speaker 1: been coordinated and coordininating in the league for a while,
Speaker 1: you whether you know someone personally or not, you've got
Speaker 1: an idea of what game days like with them just
Speaker 1: from film. Um. I mean I think Dan's did a
Speaker 1: great job just suggin like you always us and UM.
Speaker 1: I mean they've evolved a lot coverage wise, and they
Speaker 1: used to always do their three deep similar to ours,
Speaker 1: and UM, now it's more of a match three deep,
Speaker 1: which is a little bit different. But um, coaching the
Speaker 1: front that same way and getting them to play and
Speaker 1: just mixing coverage is a little bit differently. He goes
Speaker 1: a long run and just a lot of the big
Speaker 1: chunk plays and in particular Brandon, I you was leading
Speaker 1: away with it some of his block What makes him
Speaker 1: such a good blocker position? UM? I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it always helps when you have length and size, and
Speaker 1: I think he does have that. UM. I think it's
Speaker 1: the mindset of all our guys, though I think we
Speaker 1: we do have a lot of good players. What I
Speaker 1: like to say separates us from most from other teams
Speaker 1: with good players is, um, are good players really blocked
Speaker 1: to UM? Whichever one of our five guys has the
Speaker 1: ball to other four blocking as good as anyone, and UM,
Speaker 1: Brandon does that as good as anyone. But I think
Speaker 1: all our guys do also effective. Aren't after the cash?
Speaker 1: How much do you consider that as you're making play calls?
Speaker 1: And because I'm not just to get again all but
Speaker 1: getting the same yeah always. I mean, it depends on
Speaker 1: your personnel. What guys are better at, UM depends on
Speaker 1: how people are playing you. UM. I think we're pretty
Speaker 1: balanced from a personnel standpoint that you've got guys that
Speaker 1: are good at underneath stuff, guys that are good at
Speaker 1: over the top stuff. Guys are good in zones, guys
Speaker 1: are gonna man so, UM, we do that schematically and
Speaker 1: and then teams play us a lot of different ways,
Speaker 1: so you kind of just let them pick their poison ways.
Speaker 1: But how much is that sort of make him even
Speaker 1: better than most any time that, Um, you're a threat
Speaker 1: on zone checkdowns and you're a mismatching man coverage. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's ideally what you want from all three of the
Speaker 1: positions who catch football's tight ends, receivers, running backs. We
Speaker 1: were Nick talking about when you kind of ding him
Speaker 1: a difference line of my end of game and you
Speaker 1: laun from him. You've talked about like showings in which
Speaker 1: rends bad ways sometimes? Is that creep? I mean obvious
Speaker 1: some of it's pretty planned, But how much are you
Speaker 1: doing it fewer motivation? How much of it is just
Speaker 1: kind of happens in the moment. How how do you
Speaker 1: go about that? I think most of it just happens.
Speaker 1: I mean it's UM, I think maybe how you do
Speaker 1: it can sometimes be to get a reaction from people,
Speaker 1: But I mean it's it's very simple with me because
Speaker 1: it all just goes off with what I see on tape,
Speaker 1: And UM, I'm pretty consistent with that. You know, if
Speaker 1: I if I see something good or bad, I just
Speaker 1: start coaching. And so it depends who's in the room.
Speaker 1: Defense guys aren't always in the room. I get that
Speaker 1: the most on Saturday nights. I get it on our
Speaker 1: team meetings on Wednesdays and Fridays. The offense gets it
Speaker 1: all the time. Um. But I am pretty consistent with that.
Speaker 1: And but when you don't get talked about much in
Speaker 1: front of the whole team, guys do. It's crazy. I mean, guys, Um,
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of grown man that they hear
Speaker 1: their name in a big room and it's just they
Speaker 1: get real nervous, which is crazy. You asked them to
Speaker 1: break down that they talk NonStop, and then you asked
Speaker 1: them to break down the team one day, and it's
Speaker 1: just like crickets. It's so it's Um, I think it's
Speaker 1: good practice for everybody to be in those situations the line.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you said posts names specifically. Okay,
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna lee to fire under um. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I mean it's also with everybody's human nature. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've been we won a lot of games in a
Speaker 1: row and done some good things, and UM, I think
Speaker 1: it's easy to look over things, but that's that's your
Speaker 1: your goals and just to win those games. Your goal
Speaker 1: is to be the last team standing, and you've gotta
Speaker 1: get better each week at that. And um, sometimes human nature,
Speaker 1: when you've won so many games in a row, people
Speaker 1: stopped looking at how to get better. They think they've
Speaker 1: they've arrived, and you just you need to show them
Speaker 1: on the tape and you need to speak it because
Speaker 1: players aren't always seen it that way. They watch their
Speaker 1: assignment what they're doing, but they don't always see the
Speaker 1: big picture. And it's our job to show them that, um,
Speaker 1: what what they need to do to carry out their
Speaker 1: job at the highest level. And I want every single
Speaker 1: person to play the top of their ability. And um,
Speaker 1: nobody's perfect, So I'm always striving to get guys play
Speaker 1: better Saturday they play Monday night. How much is having
Speaker 1: advantage as far as timing a little ut your time
Speaker 1: and you guys don't have to um, I mean I
Speaker 1: think it can be advantaged. Sometimes it could be a disadvantage.
Speaker 1: So I know the obvious ones. Um that you know
Speaker 1: you get less rest less time to recover. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I love having more time and stuff. But and sometimes
Speaker 1: you feel like you can't play those Thursday night games
Speaker 1: and you get to it and your team is just
Speaker 1: off the wall because um, they just they haven't so
Speaker 1: down at all and um by this time. And I
Speaker 1: don't think it is about recovery. It's about detail, and
Speaker 1: it's about executing, and it's about playing at a high level. Um,
Speaker 1: once you get to games, especially in the playoffs, that recovery,
Speaker 1: I mean people forget about pretty quickly. And just watching
Speaker 1: the Rams last year, I mean they beat the Cardinals
Speaker 1: as good as anyone, and then they flew all the
Speaker 1: way to Tampa and I think they were up zero
Speaker 1: at halftime. So um, I don't think it means anything.
Speaker 1: Challenges defending, he's had coming up and down season, but
Speaker 1: he looked really good. Yeah, Dak has always been a challenge.
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak is when you're a pure pocket passer
Speaker 1: who can make all the throws in there and read
Speaker 1: the defense real well and get the ball to the
Speaker 1: right spots and do it accurately. Um. That's why he's
Speaker 1: had the career he has. And when things do breakdown,
Speaker 1: he's got a knack for how to get out of
Speaker 1: that pocket. Makes some off schedule plays and um, that's
Speaker 1: why he's had such a successful career so far. The
Speaker 1: fung season, he had some real flash plays early in
Speaker 1: the season, and you know, popularity going and want to
Speaker 1: be in probole and all that. How do you think
Speaker 1: he's played throughout the course of the year. Um, I
Speaker 1: think he's. I mean, he's had a hell of a year.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why he's gotten everything he deserves. But
Speaker 1: but just like that question when Nick earlier, like he's
Speaker 1: plays on the number one defense, has made a number
Speaker 1: one a lot of plays for us. Um, but in everything,
Speaker 1: we're challenging to get better and things and all those
Speaker 1: guys go up and down through some stuff. I thought
Speaker 1: he had a good game last week. Um, but I
Speaker 1: still want to see his best football, and I think
Speaker 1: that's ahead of us challenges. Is there tight end? I
Speaker 1: mean two touchdowns on last game and not just yeah, no,
Speaker 1: he's he's he's a good player. Um. He does a
Speaker 1: really good job of stretch stretching the defense vertically, gets
Speaker 1: down the seams very well. And DA does a really
Speaker 1: good job of hitting him when he's open. So um,
Speaker 1: when you have the route running ability in the hands
Speaker 1: that he's got in the quarterback he's got it's he's
Speaker 1: a problem. A lot of your offensive players talked about
Speaker 1: they are being more meat left on the bout. How
Speaker 1: much more progress have you gotten towards that. I think
Speaker 1: we've got a lot more, um, But I mean still
Speaker 1: solid a ton. I mean last week it was it
Speaker 1: was a good game, you know, just on eight of
Speaker 1: the nine possessions and stuff. But um, sometimes you've got
Speaker 1: to make some big plays to overcome some things that
Speaker 1: we should have done a lot easier. And I think
Speaker 1: we did that a number of times through the games.
Speaker 1: So I think we overcame a lot of stuff. But um,
Speaker 1: I still feel the same way you broke down into
Speaker 1: the offense this. Um, is there one player from that game? Um? No,
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of place. UM. Sorry, rating after
Speaker 1: we're watching, there's like seven of them probably tied. Um
Speaker 1: I really I really wanted to hit that post or
Speaker 1: across the middle. Um. There's a couple of things on defense,
Speaker 1: one on special teams, but I'm not gonna get any
Speaker 1: more detail than that. It's hard not to but a
Speaker 1: very good ker regardless of regular season preseason, but he
Speaker 1: playoffs in his career, and I think thirty five extra points.
Speaker 1: Does that tell you anything more about him that you
Speaker 1: know when the pressure is the highest? Oh? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean right. Also, he's been one of the best kickers
Speaker 1: of in our generation. I mean he's been extremely consistent.
Speaker 1: You see how long he's been doing it, And UM,
Speaker 1: when it comes to the playoffs, that's the most important thing.
Speaker 1: And I feel like he's always gonna make it regardless
Speaker 1: of what game it is. Um, that's how he's He's
Speaker 1: given us that feeling in these six years. And UM,
Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense that I even feel stronger
Speaker 1: in the playoffs about it. Spencer started in the game
Speaker 1: this year is how has he grown? And see at
Speaker 1: this point we're just we're excited with how he came
Speaker 1: in and really UM tried to get that spot, especially
Speaker 1: with some guys heard you got a ton of reps
Speaker 1: at it back to O T A S and training
Speaker 1: camp and he's come in and been thrown into the
Speaker 1: heat of battle. Had one setback with the ankle injury
Speaker 1: I think about a month ago. Um, but he's also
Speaker 1: had a real good guy behind him and Dan and um,
Speaker 1: every time Dan goes in he does a good job too.
Speaker 1: So he's been pushing him throughout the year. And I
Speaker 1: think it's been great Spencer to make it through all
Speaker 1: this year. How long it is for these rookies, um
Speaker 1: to do it at a high level. And I think
Speaker 1: he's continued to get better and uh, I still think
Speaker 1: he can get a lot better than also from the
Speaker 1: nineties with Cowboys and Niners now get to play the
Speaker 1: back to back years in the playoffs and sort of
Speaker 1: rekindle that. Yeah, I mean, I think that's how rivalries happen.
Speaker 1: And you guys knew it from the eighties when it
Speaker 1: started out, And I mean I did remember so much
Speaker 1: in my childhood from sixth grade to ninth grade because
Speaker 1: I was here to ninety four. So it was the
Speaker 1: biggest rivalry in football to me growing up. And then
Speaker 1: usually that goes away when you don't meet in the
Speaker 1: playoffs a bunch. And um, we had a big game
Speaker 1: last year, We've got a big game this year. So
Speaker 1: the more you do that, the bigger it gets. Again generally,
Speaker 1: what have they shown you this year? Um, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think the pride they've taken in everything. I mean,
Speaker 1: those guys, Um, those guys are the hardest on themselves
Speaker 1: out of any position. Group we have, UM, they always
Speaker 1: are looking to get better. They're always any time they
Speaker 1: missed something. They're they're hard on themselves. UM, the way
Speaker 1: that they practice, the way they do individual UM, that group.
Speaker 1: You know, Chris has done an unbelievable job with that group.
Speaker 1: Trent being the older guy and um, you know, the
Speaker 1: superstar of the line position, He's been an unbelievable leader
Speaker 1: just by how he works and practices and plays, and
Speaker 1: and then all the guys to me, just every time
Speaker 1: that they've struggled with something, they've corrected it the next week.
Speaker 1: And um really just focused on football all year and
Speaker 1: they've played at a very high level. All Right, thanks guys,
