WEBVTT - Chris Foerster Evaluates Performances of 49ers Players | Press Pass

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>On a three point win. Let's start with the negative. Obviously,

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of focus on the Kibbots. That usual

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>why it's not.

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 2>A terrible player, But over kind, what was your.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Assessment about overall?

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:16.080
<v Speaker 3>The offensive line didn't play good enough as a whole.

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 3>Mckivots and Burford, Jake, Banks and Trent everybody could have

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 3>played a lot better. So as a hole we need

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 3>to play better. Obviously we did enough thing as well

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 3>to have some production on offense, but it's not to

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 3>the standard that the guys want to play to, and

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 3>we play against a good front on the road and

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 3>the game got the way he got. But it's still

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 3>our guys. We have to play. We have to play

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 3>a higher level and play better. And first game of

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 3>the year, you don't until you get out there how

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 3>you're going to be. So we obviously have to play

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more consistently is the key. There were

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.520
<v Speaker 3>some really good snaps, there's some really good things. There's

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 3>times where all of them were playing at a very

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 3>high level. There's other times where each guy would take

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>their turn and have just a little bit off, you know,

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 3>some more than others. But at the end of the day,

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't a consistent enough performance by the offensive line.

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Colton, When you go out to practice for the first

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>time on Wednesday, what are the points of emphasis for him?

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Same things as always. There's no change. There's no change,

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 3>nothing's changed. So same reason you get beat on Sundays,

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 3>the same reason you get beat on in August, the

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 3>same reason you get beat in April. They're all the

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 3>same things. There's no there's no oh, oh gosh, this happened.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Now we'll fix this now, it's the same points of emphasis.

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 3>And during the course of a game, a guy can

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 3>fall back off and h and fall back into bad habits,

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 3>or a guy can, uh, just in the course of

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 3>a game loose sight of it. He seems to set

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 3>a little bit deeper or set a little bit wider,

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 3>or he's pulling back his outside hand too quickly. Whatever,

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 3>there's a there's one hundred different things, but it's no

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 3>different than you just look said, this is what's wrong.

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's that simple.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 3>It's it's simple, but it's not easy to do and

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 3>to perform when you're in the heat of battle against

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 3>a great rush or silent count all the things that

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>went into the game, but no excuses.

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>That's what we have to do.

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 3>We'll be doing it this week, and we'll do it

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 3>every week for the next seventeen hire man weeks are left,

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 3>and if we get to play after that, then we'll

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 3>have to do it then. So but really there's nothing

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 3>like there's no oh hey cool, now we'll go out

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 3>and now that will never happen again. Shoot, no, it's

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 3>going to happen again. The same things that when Trent

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 3>struggles with something, it's the same stuff. It's it's all

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 3>the same. It's very rare that a guy stops having

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>whatever that whatever his achilles heel is bad analogy after

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 3>the Monday night game. But whatever that is, that guy

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>definitely you have to it's going to kind of stick

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 3>around for his whole career.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to finally put it to bed.

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.800
<v Speaker 3>You're always going to have something in you that that

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 3>you have to continue to address and sometimes new things

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 3>crop up, though, is what.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>The mistakes that he made were. The easy fixes are

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the difficult faces.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, they're they're all They're all the typical when

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 3>a guy runs around the corner on you, there's you.

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of different reasons for it. Sometimes it's

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 3>because you don't sit deep enough. Sometimes it's because you

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 3>lean at the point of contact. Sometimes it's because you

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 3>don't use your outside hand properly. Sometimes it's because you

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>you do something with your footwork sometimes that you reach

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 3>across with your inside hand to I mean, I could

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 3>go down a list of fifteen things, twenty things that

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 3>that all of them could lead to a guy turning

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 3>the corner and spinning at the top and getting getting

0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 3>the pressures that he got from that, which is how

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>he rushed the which is what you work on, which

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 3>is really hard to replicate during the week. But as

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 3>the game goes on, you would hope that it would

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 3>get better, and it just didn't. It didn't get We

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 3>just didn't make those steps during the game that you

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 3>hope to make. But a great learning experience for him

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 3>and for our team, and obviously it's got to be

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>better and we'll keep working to make it better.

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Donald, over the last four years, eight times or

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>nine times, you've seen him?

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 4>How many different places that you've seen him?

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Every spot, all five spots I've seen him. I've seen

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 3>him even saw him off the ball. I think at

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 3>one point in our game a couple of years ago

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 3>when Mack was here. We were looking at it the

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.359
<v Speaker 3>other day. But I've seen him on all five spots

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>across the line, and they just put him in a

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>position where they think they can get him in a

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 3>one on one matchup without somebody helping trying to create

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>one on one rushes for him, and you se him

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 3>everywhere everbody's gonna see him.

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I I think he'll.

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Favor our right side, and based on how we set

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>things up too, because they they kind of know what

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>we're trying to do to them, so when we show

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 3>a certain formation, they may put him somewhere else thinking

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 3>that's where the one.

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>On one is going to be.

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 4>Nineteen when Debo got here, those kind of when Kyle

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 4>John shifted more receivers, and particularly as it relates to

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 4>the run game, how have you seen that commitment to

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 4>getting physical guys, especially on the edges in the run game.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I know one thing in this offense

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 3>since I was involved in twenty ten with coach Shanahan

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 3>and Washington, is that receivers are required to block. Receivers

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 3>are required to be physical. Receivers are required to be

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 3>the guy that is a that they're not going to

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 3>be say well, that's acceptable. Everybody blocks everybody. Everybody's held

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 3>to Iice center, and he takes all eleven guys to

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 3>run the football. And if we don't have all eleven

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 3>doing it, we're not gonna be a EFFECTI running the ball.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 3>That's always been the expectation here. So the physicality and

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 3>the blocking, I think those guys have done a phenomenal

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 3>job as far as the physicality and running. We're drafting

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 3>receivers to be receivers if they happen to be Deebo Samuel,

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 3>who's a running back and receiver whatever he's called himself

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 3>the wide back or something like that, but he is

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 3>a tremendous at both.

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>And we've got physical guys.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 3>Whether that's the I don't I think if you asked Kyle,

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure he'd say that's the mold that we're

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 3>trying to fit guys into. We're gonna go get good

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 3>receivers and then whatever they can do from there, they'll

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 3>do them.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 4>Setting it to guys like Debo and Juwan, you know

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.559
<v Speaker 4>when when other younger guys come in where they're setting

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 4>it tall.

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Though, in terms of absolutely our guys are asked to

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 3>block linebackers on a lot of plays and and uh

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 3>and because of that, they're not They don't turn it down.

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 3>They do a nice job. It's a challenge for him too.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 3>They've blocked defensive ends in our Toss Crack game and

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 3>they take it as a challenge and they work really hard.

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>To do it, and I'm very proud of the way

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>they execute it.

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, it shows the other guys that, well, if

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Debo's doing it, if I was doing it, if JJ

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 3>is doing it, then I need to do it.

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>So Brandall yesterday he said that what makes Donald so

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>hard to block is that he's small, but strong and fast,

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 2>so he doesn't give you a big target. You guys

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>have had some success against him. How would you describe him?

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 2>What makes him the special player that he is?

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>In your Jake nailed it.

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's he's a guy that's by no means uh,

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, he's just he's hard to get your hands on,

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 3>which that's the key to protection. If you can get

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 3>your hands on a guy and keep mona guy. Have

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 3>a guy like Alden Smith who is tall and linear

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 3>and slippery, you just could never get your hands on him.

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Right this guy's shorter and stock, you're and hard to

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 3>get your hands on. What's funny is you can put

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>together a highlight reel of some players that you probably

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't know who they were blocking him at times because

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 3>when you do the right things against Aaron, he is

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.799
<v Speaker 3>a smaller guy, but getting your hands to that spot

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 3>are almost impossible, and he makes it impossible to do it.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Even when you do, he has the counter moves to

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 3>take it off of him. So he's just got a

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>complete package. There's just not a lot of surface to hit,

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 3>and he's so strong and sol o to the ground

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 3>that once he gets an edge, once he gets something

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 3>on you, you don't recover from it.

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>It's over.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 3>It's over when it's over, and so you've got to

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.599
