WEBVTT - Nick Bosa Talks Playoffs Readiness | Press Pass

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>With your process when you have the buy week, just

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to get ready and make sure you're sharp for the

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>first round of the playoffs for your first game. I

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:12.159
<v Speaker 1>think Kyle kind of set it up well for us.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>We had a couple of days off to get feeling good,

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and then the game obviously wasn't too much for me.

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I had like five plays, so yeah, I

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>got a little time there, and then we have two

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>solid practices to felt good and fresh. Today, just work

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>on our stuff a little bit, and then tomorrow will

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>be pads and then we'll have another.

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Two days off.

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's a perfect perfect mix of getting

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>fresh but also staying sharp.

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Watching the games this weekend. Will you have any rooting

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 3>interest maybe for Tamiko or any other teams?

0:00:53.000 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely for Damiko. Only talk to McDaniel a couple

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of times.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>No Other than that, just see who we're playing.

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 3>An early scouting at all when you're watching the game

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of as a fan.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I've seen a lot of these teams already,

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>especially the NFC, so uh now just watching and enjoy

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>not beating my body up for a week. I could

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>get a bigger role here in his first couple of

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>playoff games.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen a change in him, just, you know, as.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 4>He's gotten more accustomed to the defense since he's gotten here.

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's gonna have to play more. All the ends

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>are gonna have to step it up for Cleveland, whether

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>he misses one game or whatever it is. But yeah,

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>we just have to hone in on the technique of things.

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes towards the end of the year you lose it

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but now it's there's no excuse. You

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>got to get fresh and and uh and really play

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the scheme the way it's supposed to be played. And

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>we're really focusing on that as a D line group

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and D N group. So yeah, I'm excited for him

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>to have this opportunity.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.239
<v Speaker 3>Got all the starts this year and he's sort of

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 3>the base down guy.

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>What what did he do well to sort of earn

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that role And what what does Chase need to do

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>to kind of shill those shoes.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just the having a camp here and being in

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the scheme and and just understanding the aiming points and

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff that Chris preaches.

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>And it's tough to come in and get it right

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>right away.

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>And Randy and Chase are still learning, so they're gonna

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>have to kind of learn quick on the run.

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>And be ready to fill those shoes.

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>And Cleveland brought probably the best effort of anybody on

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the team, So I think that was one of the

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>biggest things he brought.

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Eric being back, give you guys run, It'll be huge.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I was really happy with how Javon and

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Kevin played last game. So having Eric back and then

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>those two playing well and kind of back to their

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:32.079
<v Speaker 1>role of not taking fifty snaps but taking twenty five

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty will be better for everybody.

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 4>What's your I guess playoff goals going into this trying

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 4>to in terms of making sacks and pressure and quarterbacks

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 4>maybe more than you have in past playoffs.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I just want to help my team win and win

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>three games.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>That's that's my focus for sure.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 4>With Steve Will's guy here, he said he's kind of

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 4>a unique spot where he was learning the defense here

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 4>and trying to kind of implement stuff with it rather

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 4>than you know, putting in his own system. How have

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 4>you seen him maybe grow more comfortable through the course

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>of the year and how has it kind of manifested

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 4>on the field.

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he was trying to figure it out

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit with what kind of defense are going

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to be And at the end of the day, we

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>do we do what we do, and we've done it

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>since I've been here. Zone coverage and rushing for and

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's tons of different levels to doing it, and

0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>we need to be at the highest level possible of

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that, and if we are, then we're going to

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>be really good defense.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 3>He said that he.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 4>Feels more relaxed now that he's on the on the

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 4>field and having more fun. Have you have you noticed that?

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 4>How has that shown up?

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was stressful in the beginning of the year.

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 1>It seems like everybody was coming after him. But I

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of felt for him just because it's not one

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>guy's fault ever in football. So I'm happy that it's

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of calm down and we've figured out our recipe

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and we just need to get fresh and be flying

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 1>around when time comes.

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Longstanding coaches have stepped down the last couple of days.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Now Kyle's here for a seventh year now, fifth with you,

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 3>how have you noticed him keeping things fresh? I mean,

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 3>to get consistency, but at the same time, maybe change

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 3>the message up enough just to keep everybody interested.

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Has he changed over the years. That's a good question.

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Actually, he's very unpredictable with how he's going to approach things.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>And but yeah, his system is his systems. He's kind

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>of old school with new school stuff to him. But

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he's just consistent in the sense

0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that he's he's always looking for ways to improve, and

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>he knows that you can't stay the same in the NFL.

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>You have to keep improving, and especially when we've been

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 1>so close, there has to be some other amount of

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>of uh like improvement that we could reach. And I

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of see him looking for it, and I think,

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>hopefully this is this is the year we find it.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>You guys have played you know, he could be four opponents.

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 2>You've played three of them.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Have you spent any time this week looking at Green

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Bay's up with their tackles Walker and Tom?

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I have not.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Some times brock Berdy has not had one of these

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.279
<v Speaker 3>great games, most recently against the Ravens. When he talks

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 3>to us, he's not at all defensive, never even tries

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 3>to settle.

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.239
<v Speaker 2>It playing, and he's like very openly.

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Oxby his mistakes, like what he did wrong what. It

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 3>seems unique the way he does that. What does that

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 3>say to you about him just as a leaders a person.

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's definitely unique.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>In today's game, people feel attacked and uh, I want

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to be defensive about certain things, but shows his maturity

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and his understanding that.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a reason things happened on the.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Field, and and being honest is is.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>A good way to go about it.

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And you almost every play you could explain exactly what

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>went wrong, and I think there was I find it

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>interesting when when Kyle explains the offensive stuff to us,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's simple stuff, simple like like motion stuff that

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe was a little bit late and threw off the

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>play or somebody missing one block.

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 2>So I think just being honest is a good way

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 2>to go about your life.

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And he's kind of mature beyond his years.

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Brandon the offense won the practice today, but Fred.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Said, I feel like it was pretty even. Ye
