Speaker 1: Start out by saying, man, it was great to get
Speaker 1: a win on Saturday, all right, to see the guys
Speaker 1: bounce back. One thing we never questioned is physicality and
Speaker 1: our effort. We felt like we had better execution on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Still some things we need to improve on, need to
Speaker 1: work on, but very pleased of how we started the
Speaker 1: game with our starters and then most importantly, how we
Speaker 1: finish with the backup guys.
Speaker 2: And with that, I'll take your questions.
Speaker 3: Who were your standouts from Saturday's game?
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Up front, when when you look at across the board
Speaker 1: with the starters playing, when when they left out you
Speaker 1: saw t Y, I thought he did a trend his
Speaker 1: job doing some things, had a sack, Marlin had a
Speaker 1: sack coming off the ball.
Speaker 2: They hit us with a lot of perminive screens.
Speaker 1: And to see those guys retrace, as we call them
Speaker 1: stack monsters come out of the pile and make plays
Speaker 1: with the premier trying to force it back inside, I
Speaker 1: thought was very pleasing and that's our style of play.
Speaker 1: Middle linebacker Jalen continued to stand out for us doing
Speaker 1: a great job playing the mic, great job communicating, getting
Speaker 1: everybody aligne uh. The physicality continue to show up each
Speaker 1: and every week playing downhill and then on the outside.
Speaker 1: I think you got to continue to look at Jayra Brown.
Speaker 1: I think he made a critical play with at biting
Speaker 1: on the double move, giving us an opportunity chance right
Speaker 1: there to line up and play again. Of course they
Speaker 1: couldn't get the snap off, so uh, that was a
Speaker 1: big play of the game.
Speaker 2: Did Russell Wilson look different this year to you than
Speaker 2: what you saw last year?
Speaker 1: I know his later I think he's still, you know, again,
Speaker 1: another offense, just trying to learn the system. I still
Speaker 1: think he has a lot in the tank. I still
Speaker 1: think he's a game changer. You saw that with the
Speaker 1: early third down mishap on our part, not standing in
Speaker 1: our rustlings, he was able to escape and you his feet,
Speaker 1: so you know he didn't play long, neither did our ones.
Speaker 1: But I still think he has some juice in the tank.
Speaker 1: What does the composition stand for?
Speaker 2: Your nickel back position?
Speaker 1: It's open, just like every other position. I'm very pleased
Speaker 1: with where we are, And just to indulge a little
Speaker 1: bit of information and don't get it, don't get don't
Speaker 1: get in the habit of listening to this or or
Speaker 1: thinking that I'm gonna do this every time. But we're
Speaker 1: very pleased with where Oliver is. We brought him in
Speaker 1: for a reason.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: This leads all about matchups. So I never been a
Speaker 1: part of anything like this to have this kind of depth, right,
Speaker 1: I've been on teams where we're waiting to see exactly
Speaker 1: in the last preseason game and who gets cut and
Speaker 1: everybody's looking at this particular team trying to pour from.
Speaker 1: So to have the options that we have not only
Speaker 1: have the nickel position, but across the board lineback as well.
Speaker 2: As D line is a luxury.
Speaker 1: And again with the matchups that we're gonna face, Oliver
Speaker 1: is gonna be in there, youve may being there based
Speaker 1: off who we're playing.
Speaker 2: Uh. We continue to just trying to find a perfect mix.
Speaker 1: So I think that's the key thing, and that's the
Speaker 1: reason why you saw DMO on that last week. You look,
Speaker 1: he had like five or six snaps in there. Uh
Speaker 1: look pretty good, look good all week. Uh, doing practice,
Speaker 1: very natural in there. Uh, great vision, H. Understands concepts H.
Speaker 1: And most importantly, he gives you that ability to be
Speaker 1: able to still match up in the slot with with
Speaker 1: quicker receivers.
Speaker 2: He Haw's Walmart cloking outside to you. He almost a
Speaker 2: chance to pick six.
Speaker 1: Very disappointed he didn't get that one, Uh, particularly with
Speaker 1: the next play being what it was. But we gotta
Speaker 1: take advantage of those opportunities. I think and he's I
Speaker 1: I think he's playing well. You know, he had some
Speaker 1: critical uh plays in the run game, stepping up, making
Speaker 1: some good tackles. UH. So I'm excited to where he is,
Speaker 1: but most important right here, he needs to take advantage
Speaker 1: of those opportunities he see out of UH kind.
Speaker 3: Of hard grave this camp and last game. He had
Speaker 3: a nice tackle on Russell Wilson stop him short of
Speaker 3: the first down.
Speaker 2: So does how's he come along?
Speaker 1: I think he's everything that we and we saw on tape,
Speaker 1: everything that he's been in this league, uh the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. UH, dominant force up front. You know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for them to single block him.
Speaker 2: Uh. I think he.
Speaker 1: Probably had double digit tacks last year inside, So I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to him being at that force inside.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He did make a critical tackle right there when Russell
Speaker 1: stepped up again.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He was one of the guys that I talked about
Speaker 1: on the primitive screens coming out of there making another
Speaker 1: good play as well as t Y. So UH very
Speaker 1: pleased where he is right now and how he's playing.
Speaker 2: How often do you ask about Bosa.
Speaker 1: Out of my play pay grade? Out of my pay
Speaker 1: grade so I don't bring it up.
Speaker 3: Are there things he's missing that that would be helpful,
Speaker 3: that that you would like to get him in there for?
Speaker 2: Or is it as easy as just kind of plug
Speaker 2: and play when he gets back.
Speaker 1: I think you guys been around here longer than I have,
Speaker 1: and I've seen it from Afar.
Speaker 2: I think he'll be fine when he gets here.
Speaker 3: When you say you're pleased with all Oliver, I guess
Speaker 3: wouldn't you like a nickel corner to be able to
Speaker 3: just handle big small and just han handle that position
Speaker 3: regardless of who is there?
Speaker 2: Think about think about the league and highs made up.
Speaker 1: Ye, it's no utopia, So for us to be able
Speaker 1: to have balance right there is critical.
Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't put Demo on a tight end.
Speaker 1: We may wanna go nickel with uh twelve personnel, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna put Demo on the tight end. All of
Speaker 1: us gonna be on that other tight end, you know, Uh,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be certain matchups in the slot right there
Speaker 1: based off Uh, who that.
Speaker 2: Guy may be.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put all of in that situation. Demo
Speaker 1: may be that guy. So there's teams that don't have
Speaker 1: this flexibility.
Speaker 2: I think it's a luxury.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The two games, he probably didn't have his best
Speaker 3: game against the Raiders. Who didn't miss the tackle against Marcus?
Speaker 3: I mean other things heap.
Speaker 1: Uh, I think, uh yesterday, excuse me, Saturday. I think
Speaker 1: we all missed a lot of tackles. I know you're
Speaker 1: going back to the Raiders game, but that's something that
Speaker 1: we all need to improve on. H He did have
Speaker 1: a critical one on that third downplay, But it's tackling
Speaker 1: is something that we emphasized, we talk about. You know,
Speaker 1: we gotta continue to work it as coaches and continue
Speaker 1: to make sure that we improve on that first week
Speaker 1: of the season. That's what you're gonna see, all right,
Speaker 1: A lot of fundamentals and technique is the reason why
Speaker 1: teams lose the football game, all right. We gotta do
Speaker 1: a great job with our fundamentals, and we got to
Speaker 1: do a great job communicated to make sure that everybody's
Speaker 1: on the same page.
Speaker 3: Well, WEA Davis was back in practice today.
Speaker 2: Where have your impressions been of him? And know he
Speaker 2: hasn't practiced for a.
Speaker 1: Lot, but going back to when he was in there,
Speaker 1: I thought he was doing a great job.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Again, it's a lot of competition inside. I know we
Speaker 1: talk about hard Graves, we talk about Eric, but I
Speaker 1: feel very confident when Ken Law and Kevin Gibbings come
Speaker 1: in the game that we're not missing the beat. So
Speaker 1: Kd's done a great job as well. He had a
Speaker 1: up plays in practice today, so it's good to see
Speaker 1: him back out there.
Speaker 2: They played it in they kind.
Speaker 3: Of showed off as U what he can do athletically
Speaker 3: from from Braun.
Speaker 2: I know he missed a little bit of time with
Speaker 2: a nick of some kind, but have you seen the
Speaker 2: study progress from him? You wanna see?
Speaker 1: I saw it all off season, saw during the summer
Speaker 1: when he was here dedicating himself uh to be here
Speaker 1: all summer, and unfortunately he did get nicked a little bit.
Speaker 2: But he's back. Uh.
Speaker 1: That's just I mean a hell of a play that
Speaker 1: he made the dam in practice. As you mentioned, just
Speaker 1: his athleticism and his length uh allows him to be
Speaker 1: able to do things like that.
Speaker 3: You talked about his pad level. Coaches talk about his
Speaker 3: pad level. Where where is he his gigging that right?
Speaker 1: Well, Number one your life for players to be able
Speaker 1: to uh self correct themselves and see where they need
Speaker 1: to improve. So, uh kudos to him on that. Uh
Speaker 1: he's a tall, massive man, so pad level of some
Speaker 1: uh consardic emphasize and talks about all the time. You
Speaker 1: see them in individual period working on that, so I
Speaker 1: see the improvement.
Speaker 2: Gotta have consistency. So thank you guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yah,
