Speaker 1: How are you enjoying your forty nine Ers experience so far?
Speaker 2: Uh, it's been pretty cool so far.
Speaker 3: Uh. My teammates are great, the coaches are great. I'm
Speaker 3: just taking it all in one day at a time.
Speaker 3: At this point, with with.
Speaker 1: All your experience in the league.
Speaker 2: How how has that helped you?
Speaker 1: I guess adjust to the scheme, and it's kind of
Speaker 1: what you're doing out there.
Speaker 3: I played in a similar scheme in Atlanta, so I
Speaker 3: ain't s I wouldn't say the the.
Speaker 2: Scheme is completely new.
Speaker 3: It's really just learning the terminology and you know, the
Speaker 3: way that they wanna play things here. So I mean
Speaker 3: there's always that adjustment period. But I'm starting to get
Speaker 3: better and better every day and just pick up a
Speaker 3: little small things daily.
Speaker 1: What are you what are you gathering extra playing extra
Speaker 1: Fred Warner?
Speaker 3: I just take everything and that I can. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm just a silent watcher. I don't really s talk
Speaker 3: a lot. I just kind of sit back and watch.
Speaker 3: You know, Fred's probably the best in the game right now,
Speaker 3: so I just try to take in and all the
Speaker 3: information I can from him.
Speaker 1: How familiar were you with the Fred winners game before
Speaker 1: you came here?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: I've I've always watched Fred. You know, like I say,
Speaker 3: he's probably the best in the game. So I've always
Speaker 3: been a fan of him even before I came. And
Speaker 3: we you know e even when we compete against each other,
Speaker 3: we always chop it up after the game, So I
Speaker 3: was always familiar with Fred before I got here.
Speaker 1: Andrew, why why is this scheme a good fit for you?
Speaker 3: It's a scheme that I've played in before, so, like
Speaker 3: I said, I'm familiar with it.
Speaker 2: But there's just a lot.
Speaker 3: Of great, uh great players here, so this ain't gonna
Speaker 3: be much attention on me and I can just play free.
Speaker 1: What were the first timon you were looking for in
Speaker 1: your next team and what about this.
Speaker 3: Place attracted you to I'm in the later part of
Speaker 3: my career, so I just wanted to go somewhere where
Speaker 3: you know, they were winners and you didn't have to
Speaker 3: go through the process of wondering if you were gonna
Speaker 3: make the playoffs or not. And you know, the the
Speaker 3: rest resume here speaks for itself, uh five straight years
Speaker 3: basically either in the NFC Championship game with the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: So the resume kind of speaks for itself in terms
Speaker 3: of what Kyle and uh, John and everybody else have
Speaker 3: been able to accomplish over the.
Speaker 2: The past five or six years.
Speaker 1: Early impressions of Nick Sawnson as a defensive.
Speaker 2: Coinertor uh Nick played the game.
Speaker 3: So he's very relatable, He understands and I mean that
Speaker 3: just goes a long way, especially being a player and.
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley's role. What have you seen from him?
Speaker 3: Uh, I've funny story about that. I've known him since
Speaker 3: I was in high school. He actually recruited me to
Speaker 3: uh go to junior college. So I've always had a
Speaker 3: great relationship with him. Just it's pretty cool to kind
Speaker 3: of everything comes full circle.
Speaker 1: It's it nice to get back together with him.
Speaker 3: And yeah, his uh, his football like has always been
Speaker 3: super high. That's one of the first things I've noticed
Speaker 3: about him. So I think he's a huge addition for
Speaker 3: our defense. Uh, especially for a lot of the younger guys.
Speaker 3: I think they can learn a lot from him, as
Speaker 3: well as myself and everybody else.
Speaker 1: You've known him for so long, how how has he
Speaker 1: changed from that time to now?
Speaker 2: N He hasn't changed at all. Just I guess age.
Speaker 1: Really, I know you mentioned you had a good relationship
Speaker 1: with him since since high school? Have you kept constant
Speaker 1: communication with him?
Speaker 3: SI, I wouldn't say constant communication. You know, I've always
Speaker 3: watched from afar and you know, like when I played
Speaker 3: against him, when he's been coaching all other teams, you know,
Speaker 3: we always talk, But I wouldn't say like we kept
Speaker 3: consistent communication. But you know, it's one of those things
Speaker 3: once you know somebody and you see him again, it's
Speaker 3: just like you've never left.
Speaker 1: You've obviously been going against Kyle Shanahan offenses in practice.
Speaker 1: Uh since you got into the league. Have you seen
Speaker 1: those offenses sort of proliferate across the league since in
Speaker 1: that span since then? I mean.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't necessarily say proliferate that. The thing about Kyle
Speaker 3: is he's his mind is insane.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's probably the best best in the
Speaker 3: game in terms of like being able to get guys open.
Speaker 3: And that's something I've always respected about him ever since. Uh,
Speaker 3: I've known him as a rookie in Atlanta, like his
Speaker 3: his his mind is insane, and just being able to
Speaker 3: see him from a like I've only knew him as
Speaker 3: a OC, so actually getting to see him as a
Speaker 3: head coach like, he's taught me so many things in
Speaker 3: such the short time that I've been here on how
Speaker 3: to how they're trying to attack us as a defense,
Speaker 3: and it just helps me know how to play certain things.
Speaker 2: You know more, if any. Thank you
