WEBVTT - Nick Bosa Reflects Shares Excitement for NFC Championship Game | Press Pass

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.160
<v Speaker 1>This might be the best line you guys go against,

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and Sewell is considered the best rest right tackle. What

0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>do you think of Decker and Sewol when you watch them?

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 2>They're really good, played good all year. Decker has been

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>doing it since ten years plus now. He used to

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>watch him battle my brother in camp and at Ohio State,

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and then Sewell has gotten better each year, really good

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>in the run game.

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 3>So it'd be a good challenge.

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>You heard just Fred talk about, you know, as soon

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>as last season ended, the goal was to get back

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to where you are right now. Do those past experiences

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>do they have any impact on what's.

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 4>Going to happen on Saturday Sunday night.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to say if it's going to impact what

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>goes down for three hours on Sunday, but definitely is

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>good experience for us. Been here a lot so, but yeah,

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>it's it's really a new year every year, so gotta

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>play good.

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Extremely familiar with Jared Goff.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Is he the same guy in Detroit that he was

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 5>in LA and was the keid to defending him?

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I think he is the same guy.

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying he's played great in LA and he's

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 2>played great with Detroit. Uh, but the key is obviously

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>getting pressure on him. He's got a really good O line,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>so it makes it tough. But you you cover up

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>his first couple of reads and and you get after him.

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Hit it hit him a few times. It changes things

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 3>a little bit.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>What was your assessment of you guys in the run

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>game the other night and what kind of challenges Detroit's

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 1>run game.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we definitely got hit on a on a lot

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 2>of cracked tosses weren't fitting him great. But it's a

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>play that we're gonna see with them for sure with

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. So we're gonna emphasize that this week, hopefully

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 2>put it out early and and but overall, I think

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>we played really physical. I think the the Edge guys

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>are starting to get a really good feel for this team, Chase,

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Randy and Rob and I was happy to see Eric

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>out there feeling good, feeling healthy. And I think JK

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>had one of his best games. So yeah, we're gonna

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>need another one difference in terms of.

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, setting the edge. You mentioned like the guys

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.399
<v Speaker 1>that are maybe playing more rundown, specifically without Clee out there.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you feel a difference in terms of the guys

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>having to kind of, you know, get into that mode

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of setting the edge a.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Little bit more. Yeah, not so much.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, losing Clee is tough, but just overall, I think

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 2>we've gotten better at edge just getting the scheme down.

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Having new guys who haven't been here for a camp

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 2>is takes some time to really just take your seatbelt

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 2>off and and penetrate like we're coached to do.

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, it sounds if you as a defensive line

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 4>didn't affect particularly some key moments like in the game

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 4>when you look at the end of the game is

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 4>zero sas do you guys say this is unaccepted?

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Not when the scoreboards in our favor. So, uh, we

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>affect the game in different ways. Uh, sacks are good.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I talked about this a lot. I

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>wish I didn't have to, but uh, that's what we're

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>paid to do. So, but affecting the quarterback in different

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>ways could be just as valuable as sacks. They're hard

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to come by lately, but we're gonna keep working our

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>ass off to get get them as many as we can.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>The key to getting a pressure on Jordan Lovely, He

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously had a lot of really good rows early on,

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>but obviously the interceptions later in the game. What was

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the key to getting more pressure on him as the

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>game went on.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't think much changed it was.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>It was, uh, definitely a game where they stayed in

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>their offense. They were able to keep running the ball,

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>stayed on the field for really long drives. They kept

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the chip protections in almost all day. So we didn't

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>really get them where exactly where we wanted them, but

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>just keep on trucking and some some key pressures pressures

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 2>towards the end, and yeah, dre Drey got under one.

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Chases. Seemed to fit in pretty well since he's been here,

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>but the numbers haven't necessarily, you know, shown up. Do

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you get the senset that he's ready for that kind

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>of breakout game that with so much attention on you,

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that that he can kind of have the performance that

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>can make game changing plays in this way.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he has the ability, that's for sure.

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>And you see it in pass rush on certain plays

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 2>where he's beaten guys quick.

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 3>The other night he had a couple where the ball

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 3>was out but he was winning.

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 2>And we're gonna need it if they're gonna slide a

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>certain way and ship a certain way, whether it's my.

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Side or.

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Eric or Grave or whoever it is who they're focusing

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 2>on on a certain play.

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 3>Uh, those one on ones have to come alive.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 1>You line this year more five minute front of a

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of games. The Giants game comes to line. How

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>does your role in mentality stretch from a four man

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>line to a five min front?

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.559
<v Speaker 2>The bearefront is definitely a change up for our run

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>stuff stop the run if we need it, But uh,

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't change my mindset as an edge guy very much.

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 4>On Jones's fifty three yard run, it looked like five

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 4>six yards bend line that you had a shot at him.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 4>I caught in between steps or what.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Happened on that Yeah, I definitely felt like it was

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 2>a weird I was running my ass off all game,

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>trying to hit anything that moved, and I think Logan

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>flashed on my inside and I didn't dive for him.

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 2>And I was definitely not happy about that play. It's

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>hard to say in real time, especially on when a

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 2>guy's moving that fast, and but yeah, thank god he

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>missed that field.

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 3>All of you know, Closs had that stop on Jones

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 3>in Green Bay. Did that you know, tackle by Charvari's

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 3>remind you of all of that. But yeah, similar that

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 3>you've been through this a few.

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 5>Times, do you talk to some of the younger guys

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 5>on the team just kind of to try to tell

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 5>them what you expect in terms of the level of

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 5>competition in a championship game or is that something that

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 5>you just expected kind of absorbed throughout the season.

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I definitely talked to some of the

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 2>guys who haven't been through it. We have a lot

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>of guys that have been through it, so it's kind

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of like a whole culture that they've been.

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Been around for a while now.

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 2>So but yeah, I think I've I've talked to the

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 2>new guys chase being a big one, just how you

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>need to step it up a notch. And I think

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw that as a d line, like the physicality

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 2>and the effort. I think we did take that step

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>last week, and we're gonna have to take another one.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you get I don't know if

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 5>you get pregame butterflies until that first hit, But are

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 5>your emotions different this being your NFC championship game in

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 5>the last five years.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's definitely different. In the playoffs, you kind of

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 2>have that mentality early in the week that that.

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 3>You're just ready to go.

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it takes till game day to get going, but

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs, you're ready to play on Wednesday.

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 3>So thanks,
