WEBVTT - Foerster Evaluates 49ers Offense Ahead of #NOvsSF | Press Pass

0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>What was your evaluation of a poony in the game?

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Good?

0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 3>He's been He's played well. He's kind of been consistent

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.079
<v Speaker 3>throughout the way he started camp and has continued to

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 3>work every week. It's been pretty consistent performers. So he

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 3>did everything we saw him doing practicing did in the game.

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he pulled on that on the touchdown. I mean

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that's something that you do a lot with banks. I mean,

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>is he is he good at that? Is that something

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that's good?

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's got some I mean there's some things about

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 3>him moving to move inside.

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>There's some little things that he.

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Needs to work on, and pulling is going to be

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 3>one of them. But he's done a really good job

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 3>and everything he's developing in all his areas. He's very

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 3>diligent in studying and what to do next and listening

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 3>and taking coaching and he's doing a nice job. But

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 3>that is going to be something you have to work on.

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Chris Hubbard, how did he grade out?

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 4>And can he play comfortably both sides?

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Chris can play both sides.

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's where we're working him primarily on the left

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 3>because he's more he's uncomfortable there.

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>He's more comfortable on the right side in my opinion,

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>So we have.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Decided to dedicate those two guys kind of opposite where

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.959
<v Speaker 3>they're used to doing, he and Harker, and then if

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 3>we get to whichever, however the thing shakes out, when

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 3>if one of them is here to be a swing

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 3>or something like that, it would be they could go

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 3>back to working both.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>But right now it kind of I think they can.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 3>I can let them put their best foot forward working

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>in his position to get better where their weaknesses are.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 3>And also they'd stay in one spot every single day

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 3>he performed, he performed well, you know there was every

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 3>player would like a few plays back, and I think

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Hubbard would would like one or two back for.

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Sure, as Jalen played enough. At this point we're missing

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 4>that game for being ill. Is not that big a deal.

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean it the first pre season game he

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 3>was going to play the series, so it end up

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 3>play like eleven or eleven play drive, wasn't it. The

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.559
<v Speaker 3>penalty was the twelfth play, so he had eleven plays.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, for what that's worth, I think I shared

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 3>it last week. It is there's something to that full

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 3>speed work that, regardless of when you get it, you

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 3>do need it at some point. It's not like he's

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 3>what he did, whatever the date was, is going to

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 3>make a difference opening day, but it does in the big.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Scheme of things.

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 5>I got kind of a big picture run game question,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, last year with Christian winning the NFL rushing

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 5>title for the year, kind of goes under the raidar

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 5>when you're in the middle of a Super Bowl run.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 5>Is there a way that you guys kind of honored

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 5>it or celebrated it, and then how what's it going

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 5>to take to kind of repeat that.

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know if the guys did anything. We

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>don't do.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're congratulations all those honors because so many

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 3>guys that a lot of good players in this team

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 3>and want a lot of things.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 2>We don't do anything for that. Say, he went in

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>is a rushing title.

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 3>I know that he did take care of the guys

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 3>at Christmas or I don't know, there's something there was

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 3>a gift or something.

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so line coach didn't see it, but all the

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 2>players did. I don't do any blocking, so I don't

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 2>deserve any of them, but I don't like off so but.

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he definitely, Uh, he's we all obviously congratulations go around,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 3>But it's nothing big like that for for the individual merit, and.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 5>Then what's it going to take to just kind of

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 5>repeat that success, you.

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Know, I mean it's different. The cliche answer is a

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 3>cliche for a reason. I mean, every year it's a

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 3>brand new year. You have to get out there and

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 3>start doing things and and see where it goes. I mean,

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 3>how defenses play you. There's so many different things that

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 3>can come into it. That that how well your quarterback plays,

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 3>if your receivers are healthy, that you can throw the

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 3>ball and keep them off your running game, and there's

0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 3>just so many, so many things. I mean, you look

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 3>at the run we had to open in Pittsburgh. We

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 3>watched it the other day and the big fifty or

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 3>six yeard run start in second half, and it was

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>an incredible run with incredible Maybe maybe that guy tackles

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.519
<v Speaker 3>him this year and you have four or five of

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 3>those in the.

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Unit, it looks different.

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 3>You just don't know how it goes and and how

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>the season plays out. We were able to get a

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 3>lot of runs in the fourth quarter of games, is

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Shuel were a lot of games that we don't have

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 3>a lot of two minute drives. We sure have a

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 3>lot of you know, trying to kill the clock at

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>the end of the game.

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 2>In the past, sometimes rotated guys at a position. One

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>are the benefits of that for a young guy. Oh,

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 2>it's huge job. And I don't even know why.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how I prepare, how I decide to

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 3>do it. But you can kind of tell I even

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 3>did it. Uh with Feliciano, who I didn't think. I

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>didn't think Burford I don't think is going to play

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 3>as much in the in the it was a Green

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Bay game in the playoffs. But also I noticed, I said,

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>ninety seven was giving him some issues. So instead of

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 3>getting in a routine of rushing John Feliciana, he puts

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Burford in there and the defender has to deal with

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 3>a different guy. For young players, that that was the sidelite.

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 3>It can help anybody. For a young player, what is

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 3>is those plays start mounting up where you start doing

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 3>some bad that you get out and just take a

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 3>step away. It stops whatever's going on and you get

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to go back in and restart. That guy then has

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 3>to deal with a different player, and over the course

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 3>of time. Usually what happens is you have a veteran

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 3>player and a younger player. The younger player who you

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 3>think has more talent. That's why you're alternating. He's just

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 3>not quite ready to play sixty plays a game, and

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 3>our position is won. Like some other positions on the field.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>That defensive line, for example, you can get a rookie

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 3>twenty thirty forty plays because they rotate so much. That's

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 3>what starters do. Offensive lineman, you can't. People think it's

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 3>you shouldn't. I know you can do it, and it does.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>That's a great way to work a player in just

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 3>because he doesn't get exposed. Analytics was were they would

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 3>say every time we took him out, they were saying,

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 3>that was about the time his play was starting to

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 3>do this. Now, I'm not saying I did it because

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 3>that I kind of had a in my mind.

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Two serious three series.

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 3>But you can kind of feel that, and you talk

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 3>to theimut the sidew You feel that things are getting

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 3>little loose.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's bring them back over here.

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 3>And they stand for a minute, catch their breath, and

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 3>they can usually get back into a rhythm.

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I just preached the continuity.

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 3>When did you first maybe do that with the figuring

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 3>out how it was worth well.

0:04:59.440 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I saw.

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I saw and when I was with the Vikings, we

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 3>drafted a rookie tackle that I watched him be completely destroyed,

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 3>like just day, week after week, game after game. He

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 3>wasn't quite good enough, he wasn't quite ready, and by

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 3>mid to the end of season he went an ir because

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>he just was he was beat up. He was just

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 3>hanging on for dear life. And we didn't have somebody

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>to rotate, but we talked to it. We did have

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 3>somebody that would have helped him.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>You know. When I went to.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 3>Tampa, we drafted ah we had a veteran player there

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 3>at right tackle that came from another team, and we

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 3>had a right tackle that I thought could be as good,

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 3>and we just started we just started rotating. That was

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 3>the first time I did it, was back and I

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:35.679
<v Speaker 3>think we were an Orange. I think it was nineteen

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 3>ninety six. I did it, and then I did it

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 3>again in Baltimore, and I did a couple of different places

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 3>where it's been managed through it. We've been lucky, you

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 3>know that it's worked out, but it does. It's worked

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 3>out that way that you can help the development.

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Where do things stand at backup?

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Shenna well, right now, it's you know, you have Barti

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.840
<v Speaker 3>and Sekel that are batting out with Nugent there as well.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>You got three guys there.

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 3>They can do it, and that will work the backup

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and we'll see how it plays out as the year

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 3>goes on. Sekel obviously took the starting reps. I would

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 3>say that if you looked at him and said what

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Cekel's strengths and what barches are I think that Sekel

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 3>is probably playing a little bit better. Center suited him better,

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 3>and guard probably suits barts better and not the other

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>one who plays. That's the first game Sequl's ever played

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 3>in a game center and it was that was it

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 3>uh in college anywhere?

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>So and I'd stayd that. So I give him the

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>edge right now.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 3>But they're both right there because then if he moves

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 3>to Kel to guard, Bart's the center.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>It just depends on what you're looking at.

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 3>You look at, say, okay, one of those guys will

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 3>be your third or fourth guard, backup center. It's just

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 3>it's a lot of pieces board moving there. But right

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 3>that's what it sits.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Right now, you decided who's going to play what in

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>against the Saints.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean, we kind of I briefly talked about it.

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I think some of it leads up to discussions on

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 3>the last game. Because you have a small window of

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 3>time between Sunday and Friday. Is you have to be

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 3>careful how many guys you want to playing. So you

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 3>look forward to that game and you work back and say, okay,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 3>if we have a lot of a lot of players

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 3>playing in that game, then maybe not as many. This

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>week is a short turnaround. You don't want to give

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>him a dag up a short week in the preseason

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 3>if you can help it.

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.600
<v Speaker 2>First, what does Kingston look like to you?

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 3>He's getting better all the time, He's improved. I ring

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 3>out of love about these young guys. John Lynch and

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I were talking about this morning. Is these guys are

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 3>really they're working hard to improve and they've made they've

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 3>made some good strides. It's not it's a tribute to them,

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 3>not to me, and we just do what we do.

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 3>We go out there to do the same thing every day.

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 3>But these guys have grabbed onto it and he has

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 3>gotten better. The things that we saw that were limitations

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 3>with him were we felt were fixable, and so he's

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>been able to fix some of them. It's still not consistent. Uh,

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 3>but it's gotten better. So they were things that were

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 3>they get addressed, you know, and we addressed him and

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 3>he's he's address him.

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Which is good.

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it's hard to break a habit, and we've talked

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>about it in here before, where you know those those

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 3>in a game when you start creating bad habits.

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Are hard to break.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 3>And these guys, over the course of their college career,

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 3>have some bad habits that you have to break. And

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 3>the things he had wrong he's really fixed. And so

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 3>that's helped elevate his game. Every week guard or more

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 3>tackle more guard. He's played tackle out of necessity and

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>uh and and can still in the pinch. But he's

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 3>really he's a guard, although he's got to he's got issues.

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 3>He's got to work on his anchor and things like

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 3>that inside because he doesn't you know, there's pluses of

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 3>minds that both positions for him.

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 2>So he's got to make up some space at guard

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to get better there.

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 4>You ran the ball so well with Mason on the

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 4>opening series and then it was considerably tougher for Schrader

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 4>and and Brita. Was that just being behind a second line,

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 4>were there things they didn't see that Mason did see.

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>No, we didn't block. We didn't block. We didn't block

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 2>well at all. We didn't block.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 3>We all and and I and I want to get

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, I would tell me it's no, it's look,

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 3>we're we're down, and it's not. These aren't excuses, it's

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 3>an explanation for me. I'm looking at saying why, holy cow. Well, really,

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.079
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the day, when you take Trent

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 3>uh Jalen, Feliciano and Burford of the equation, you've taken

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 3>four or five people that really started caliber players. So

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, your starting group becomes a little

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 3>bit more of a second tier group, and then you're

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 3>the next group becomes more of a you know, later

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 3>in the game group. And so by that point, that

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>second third quarter, they we weren't. It was a good

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.559
<v Speaker 3>challenge for those guys. It was good to watch against

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 3>that caliber player they probably wouldn't see in the fourth

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 3>quarter of the game when most of them would have

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.439
<v Speaker 3>been playing. Everybody's been pushed up to play at a

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 3>little bit higher level than what they would have if

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 3>our starters were here, all healthy in there in playing.

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.679
<v Speaker 2>So it's been a it's huge.

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 3>It's benefit, but the drawback is they're put in there

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 3>in situations and we didn't give the backs enough good looks. Fortunately,

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 3>and we'll see how this week's a whole different thing.

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 2>We'll protect it. We protected decently.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was decent that the last and the

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 3>fourth quarter got a little bit looser the two tackles,

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 3>but but we protected good enough, which then at least

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 3>we could do that, you know, because we weren't running

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 3>the ball very well.

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It used to be that defenses didn't do a lot

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>of blitzing in the preseason. I guess that's changed somewhat recently.

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about that? I mean, are you

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of glad that the Titans blitched quite a bit

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>just to give your guys?

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do.

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I remember I was in Baltimore with Rex Ryan and

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Brian Billick. There was always discussion in Rex Ryan was,

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, he'd throw the kitchen sink at everybody, and

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 3>they always have a discussion do we show them what

0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 3>we do or do we not show them?

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Hold it till the season, and Brian was like, you know.

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Do everything in the preseason because that means everybody has

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 3>to prepare for everything. Sometimes you realize in the fourth

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 3>course some of these games defense courters are calling things

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.559
<v Speaker 3>just they know you're going to play them in two

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 3>weeks that you have to prep for, not not in

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 3>the regular season, but in the preseason because you don't

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:16.839
<v Speaker 3>have a lot of tape on them, so you're scouring.

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna work on all these blitzes and then may

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 3>never do it again that all year. So sometimes it's

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.719
<v Speaker 3>a prep time some people. Every defense courding uses different things.

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 3>My philosophy is, I want to see everything we can see.

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 3>I want those guys to be prepped in In other words,

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 3>if Poony, if whoever these guys are that we're trying

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 3>to evaluate, If they just see one front, one defense

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 3>all the time, what evaluation are getting other than their

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.359
<v Speaker 3>physical This gives them a mental challenge.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, guys,
