Speaker 1: George walked us through what you what you saw the
Speaker 1: first touchdown?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was just a normal keeper that
Speaker 2: we had up, you know, I got I got the edge.
Speaker 2: Just felt like I had a lot of time. The
Speaker 2: smart decisions probably just you know, continue to run, try
Speaker 2: to get as many yards as I can instead of
Speaker 2: you know, putting the ball up like I did. But
Speaker 2: I saw Ba in the back of the end zone
Speaker 2: sort of run the space George as well, and I
Speaker 2: was I just put it up towards the back and
Speaker 2: BA came down with it. But yeah, I'm not necessarily
Speaker 2: proud of that play, honestly. I mean, yes, there's a
Speaker 2: touchdown and everything. Great. BA made a great play, but
Speaker 2: I gotta be smart with the ball and and if anything,
Speaker 2: I sh I should have ran the ball.
Speaker 1: So among your worst decisions, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: I agree. So yeah, indic that you like.
Speaker 1: Were kind of doing this with your head to try
Speaker 1: and throw the defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just felt space on the left side, so
Speaker 2: I sort of nodded like going right, and he literally
Speaker 2: went right. I was trying to, like, you know, get
Speaker 2: the defense to think I'm gonna throw back right, but
Speaker 2: then have him go left. So It's just something that
Speaker 2: you know, we gotta get in the same page about.
Speaker 1: So decisions are probably happy about the touchdown to kill
Speaker 1: How can how much do you feel that pressure that's
Speaker 1: kind of coming.
Speaker 2: Around and what does it take to stand in there
Speaker 2: and deliver that ball knowing that you're probably get hit situation? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean just what they're they were they were playing man,
Speaker 2: So I knew George just needed some time to get outside,
Speaker 2: you know, one on one with that backer, and so
Speaker 2: knowing that and then you know, seeing the safety sort
Speaker 2: of cut and take Ba over the middle, I was
Speaker 2: all right, this is George one on one. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I had some pressure and stuff, but I just gotta
Speaker 2: get George a chance. And George did a great job
Speaker 2: getting underneath it and going all the way with that
Speaker 2: sweet bron.
Speaker 1: How big was this win for me? As just how
Speaker 1: much did.
Speaker 2: You do this? Yeah, it's huge. You know, when you
Speaker 2: you lose three in a row, obviously it's like, man,
Speaker 2: you want to get back on track. But honestly, we've
Speaker 2: taken every single game, you know, very seriously, and and
Speaker 2: we come come to work. You know, we never got
Speaker 2: complacent or anything. There's some things that haven't gone our
Speaker 2: way a couple of plays within the last game, last
Speaker 2: couple of games. But for this one came with the
Speaker 2: right mindset of you know, backs against the wall in
Speaker 2: a sense, and you know, let's play like hungry again.
Speaker 2: So I think that was the mindset. But overall, man,
Speaker 2: we're just trying to play Niner football.
Speaker 1: What do you feeling in any way coming off those
Speaker 1: three losses?
Speaker 2: What do you mean feeling it? What are you feeling dated?
Speaker 2: A little bit more pressure, a little bit more on you. Uh,
Speaker 2: I guess a little bit. You know, when you lose
Speaker 2: games in the NFL, it's like, you know, there's a standard,
Speaker 2: especially with this organization. You know, we all demand a
Speaker 2: lot out of ourselves. And so I was more, you know,
Speaker 2: feeling the pressures just within myself, like, man, I need
Speaker 2: to play better because of you know, how I've played
Speaker 2: in the past, you know, And so that's where I
Speaker 2: was at with it. But you know, I came into
Speaker 2: this game with the clear mindset of, Man, I got
Speaker 2: dudes around me, got a great defense, be smart with
Speaker 2: the ball, and make plays, you know, sort of play
Speaker 2: free in terms of cutting it loose, but also playing
Speaker 2: within the scheme and being smart with the ball. So
Speaker 2: that's where I was at, and you gotta keep playing
Speaker 2: like that move forward.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like this was the offensive best performance
Speaker 1: of the season. You guys didn't have a single turn
Speaker 1: on you didn't turn.
Speaker 2: The ball over.
Speaker 1: I mean, was it the best performance of this team
Speaker 1: so far the season offensively?
Speaker 2: Man's stuff to say. I haven't really watched the film
Speaker 2: or anything yet, but I think there's still, you know,
Speaker 2: some stuff left out there, you know, that we could
Speaker 2: all learn from. I mean, I think the Dallas game
Speaker 2: there was a couple of drives where we were off,
Speaker 2: but I felt that one was pretty good, and so
Speaker 2: this one too, Like yeah, once we're once we're clicking,
Speaker 2: you know, like today we felt good, you know, putting
Speaker 2: points up on the board, defense, getting stops, turned the
Speaker 2: ball over. It was just really good team football. We
Speaker 2: felt that today. But still there's some drives out there
Speaker 2: that can be made, and you know, we'll learn from it. Still.
Speaker 1: So you guys talk about complimentary and the team football
Speaker 1: like you just did. Is there a tangible boost that
Speaker 1: you feel when the defense had that stop to three
Speaker 1: and out to start the game offensively? Can you feel
Speaker 1: to have that momentum with your own unit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean especially you know, coming and starting off
Speaker 2: the game with some momentum. You know, defense gets a stop,
Speaker 2: three and out, boom, and then we are moving, you know,
Speaker 2: from the get go with some the first couple of plays,
Speaker 2: we just felt the momentum. It's huge and so our
Speaker 2: defense has done a great job with that. And anytime
Speaker 2: we've had success, you know, defense is always you know,
Speaker 2: the side of the ball to really you know, start
Speaker 2: something up. I feel like, you know, getting a turnover,
Speaker 2: getting the three and out and then it you know,
Speaker 2: encourages us to go out and do our things. So
Speaker 2: very blessed to have our defense.
Speaker 1: Positive spin on that for positive because it was a touchdown.
Speaker 1: But the throw to you, the fact that that was
Speaker 1: one of your first throws. You have been scrutinized, like
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful with the ball. I mean you
Speaker 1: know that. But the anyway, the fact that you obviously
Speaker 1: weren't scared and you still flunging it. I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess that show your mindset is still Yeah, I gotta
Speaker 1: be careful, but I'm not gonna lose that mentality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the biggest thing is I think just
Speaker 2: playing within our scheme, how you know, Shanahan's calling plays,
Speaker 2: how Greasey's coaching us up with just our reads, our footwork,
Speaker 2: progression and everything playing within that, and then there's opportunities
Speaker 2: where if Steff breaks down, all right, now let's go play,
Speaker 2: you know, so backyard football esque type of plays. But
Speaker 2: to say I'm searching for those kind of plays, that's wrong.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, going into this game, you gotta play
Speaker 2: like that. I still, you know, I play football and
Speaker 2: then I'm aggressive with what I do and how I
Speaker 2: throw the ball, and but I still have to learn,
Speaker 2: you know, time times in the game and situations where
Speaker 2: I gotta be smart with the ball. So that's something
Speaker 2: I gonna continue to learn. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: you know, they do a good job of not just
Speaker 2: handcuffing me. You know, they let me play play quarterback
Speaker 2: in an aggressive way and get the ball to our
Speaker 2: guys when they're open.
Speaker 1: Car was on you, Christian was about to maybe score
Speaker 1: the eighteen. How about the family Tournament?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, after the touchdown of Juice, I sort
Speaker 2: of felt bad. I was like, we came off the
Speaker 2: sideline and guys were talking about it. I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 2: I'm like, dang it, like I was mad, sort of
Speaker 2: obviously scored a touchdown, it's the biggest thing. But you know,
Speaker 2: then the next drive, we're like, let's drive for Christian
Speaker 2: and try to get them a touch This is huge,
Speaker 2: and so yeah, at the end, man, it's like we
Speaker 2: all wanted it for him. Every guy on this team
Speaker 2: wanted it for Christian. And then obviously I think Christian
Speaker 2: wants it more than anybody, Like he's a humble guy,
Speaker 2: wants to win, so he puts the team first. But
Speaker 2: in that moment, everybody wanted it for Christian, so it hurts.
Speaker 2: And but at the same time, he's got a long
Speaker 2: career out of him, and I told him we'll be
Speaker 2: able to do it again, so all
Speaker 1: Yeah,
