WEBVTT - Steve Wilks Recaps Win Over the Denver Broncos  | Press Pass

0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Start out by saying, man, it was great to get

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>a win on Saturday, all right, to see the guys

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:11.639
<v Speaker 1>bounce back. One thing we never questioned is physicality and

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>our effort. We felt like we had better execution on Saturday.

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 1>Still some things we need to improve on, need to

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>work on, but very pleased of how we started the

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>game with our starters and then most importantly, how we

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>finish with the backup guys.

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>And with that, I'll take your questions.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Who were your standouts from Saturday's game?

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Up front, when when you look at across the board

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>with the starters playing, when when they left out you

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>saw t Y, I thought he did a trend his

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>job doing some things, had a sack, Marlin had a

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 1>sack coming off the ball.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>They hit us with a lot of perminive screens.

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And to see those guys retrace, as we call them

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>stack monsters come out of the pile and make plays

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>with the premier trying to force it back inside, I

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>thought was very pleasing and that's our style of play.

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Middle linebacker Jalen continued to stand out for us doing

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.639
<v Speaker 1>a great job playing the mic, great job communicating, getting

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>everybody aligne uh. The physicality continue to show up each

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and every week playing downhill and then on the outside.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I think you got to continue to look at Jayra Brown.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he made a critical play with at biting

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>on the double move, giving us an opportunity chance right

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>there to line up and play again. Of course they

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get the snap off, so uh, that was a

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>big play of the game.

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Did Russell Wilson look different this year to you than

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>what you saw last year?

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I know his later I think he's still, you know, again,

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>another offense, just trying to learn the system. I still

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>think he has a lot in the tank. I still

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>think he's a game changer. You saw that with the

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>early third down mishap on our part, not standing in

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>our rustlings, he was able to escape and you his feet,

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>so you know he didn't play long, neither did our ones.

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>But I still think he has some juice in the tank.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>What does the composition stand for?

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Your nickel back position?

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>It's open, just like every other position. I'm very pleased

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>with where we are, And just to indulge a little

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>bit of information and don't get it, don't get don't

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>get in the habit of listening to this or or

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>thinking that I'm gonna do this every time. But we're

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>very pleased with where Oliver is. We brought him in

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>for a reason.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>This leads all about matchups. So I never been a

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>part of anything like this to have this kind of depth, right,

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I've been on teams where we're waiting to see exactly

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>in the last preseason game and who gets cut and

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>everybody's looking at this particular team trying to pour from.

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>So to have the options that we have not only

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>have the nickel position, but across the board lineback as well.

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>As D line is a luxury.

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.519
<v Speaker 1>And again with the matchups that we're gonna face, Oliver

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be in there, youve may being there based

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>off who we're playing.

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh. We continue to just trying to find a perfect mix.

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>So I think that's the key thing, and that's the

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>reason why you saw DMO on that last week. You look,

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>he had like five or six snaps in there. Uh

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>look pretty good, look good all week. Uh, doing practice,

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>very natural in there. Uh, great vision, H. Understands concepts H.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>And most importantly, he gives you that ability to be

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>able to still match up in the slot with with

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>quicker receivers.

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 2>He Haw's Walmart cloking outside to you. He almost a

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 2>chance to pick six.

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Very disappointed he didn't get that one, Uh, particularly with

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the next play being what it was. But we gotta

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of those opportunities. I think and he's I

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he's playing well. You know, he had some

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>critical uh plays in the run game, stepping up, making

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>some good tackles. UH. So I'm excited to where he is,

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>but most important right here, he needs to take advantage

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of those opportunities he see out of UH kind.

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Of hard grave this camp and last game. He had

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 3>a nice tackle on Russell Wilson stop him short of

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 3>the first down.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>So does how's he come along?

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he's everything that we and we saw on tape,

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>everything that he's been in this league, uh the last

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of years. UH, dominant force up front. You know,

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be hard for them to single block him.

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh. I think he.

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Probably had double digit tacks last year inside, So I'm

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to him being at that force inside.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>He did make a critical tackle right there when Russell

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>stepped up again.

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>He was one of the guys that I talked about

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.559
<v Speaker 1>on the primitive screens coming out of there making another

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>good play as well as t Y. So UH very

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>pleased where he is right now and how he's playing.

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>How often do you ask about Bosa.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Out of my play pay grade? Out of my pay

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>grade so I don't bring it up.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Are there things he's missing that that would be helpful,

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 3>that that you would like to get him in there for?

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Or is it as easy as just kind of plug

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>and play when he gets back.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you guys been around here longer than I have,

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and I've seen it from Afar.

0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll be fine when he gets here.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 3>When you say you're pleased with all Oliver, I guess

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't you like a nickel corner to be able to

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 3>just handle big small and just han handle that position

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 3>regardless of who is there?

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Think about think about the league and highs made up.

0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Ye, it's no utopia, So for us to be able

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to have balance right there is critical.

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, I wouldn't put Demo on a tight end.

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>We may wanna go nickel with uh twelve personnel, I'm

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 1>not gonna put Demo on the tight end. All of

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>us gonna be on that other tight end, you know, Uh,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be certain matchups in the slot right there

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>based off Uh, who that.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Guy may be.

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna put all of in that situation. Demo

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 1>may be that guy. So there's teams that don't have

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>this flexibility.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a luxury.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. The two games, he probably didn't have his best

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 3>game against the Raiders. Who didn't miss the tackle against Marcus?

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean other things heap.

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh, I think, uh yesterday, excuse me, Saturday. I think

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>we all missed a lot of tackles. I know you're

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>going back to the Raiders game, but that's something that

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>we all need to improve on. H He did have

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>a critical one on that third downplay, But it's tackling

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.720
<v Speaker 1>is something that we emphasized, we talk about. You know,

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>we gotta continue to work it as coaches and continue

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that we improve on that first week

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of the season. That's what you're gonna see, all right,

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>A lot of fundamentals and technique is the reason why

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>teams lose the football game, all right. We gotta do

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a great job with our fundamentals, and we got to

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>do a great job communicated to make sure that everybody's

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on the same page.

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, WEA Davis was back in practice today.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Where have your impressions been of him? And know he

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 2>hasn't practiced for a.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Lot, but going back to when he was in there,

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was doing a great job.

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:45.359
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Again, it's a lot of competition inside. I know we

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 1>talk about hard Graves, we talk about Eric, but I

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 1>feel very confident when Ken Law and Kevin Gibbings come

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>in the game that we're not missing the beat. So

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Kd's done a great job as well. He had a

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 1>up plays in practice today, so it's good to see

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:03.599
<v Speaker 1>him back out there.

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>They played it in they kind.

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Of showed off as U what he can do athletically

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 3>from from Braun.

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I know he missed a little bit of time with

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 2>a nick of some kind, but have you seen the

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>study progress from him? You wanna see?

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I saw it all off season, saw during the summer

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 1>when he was here dedicating himself uh to be here

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>all summer, and unfortunately he did get nicked a little bit.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>But he's back. Uh.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>That's just I mean a hell of a play that

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>he made the dam in practice. As you mentioned, just

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>his athleticism and his length uh allows him to be

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>able to do things like that.

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>You talked about his pad level. Coaches talk about his

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 3>pad level. Where where is he his gigging that right?

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, Number one your life for players to be able

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>to uh self correct themselves and see where they need

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>to improve. So, uh kudos to him on that. Uh
