Speaker 1: Only start out by saying, we had a great practice
Speaker 1: today and we haven't gone out yet, so guys are focused,
Speaker 1: guys are locked in. Short week. It's all about fundamentals
Speaker 1: and technique.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The great thing about playing Tampa last week, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of carryover to Seattle with the coordinator
Speaker 1: being from Seattle. So a lot of things that we're
Speaker 1: doing this week is carry over for us. And my
Speaker 1: point of emphasis to the players has been, you know,
Speaker 1: fundamentals and technique and short week, taking care of your body,
Speaker 1: making sure we're fresh and ready to go.
Speaker 2: So with that, I'll take your questions.
Speaker 3: When you prepare for a team like this where the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers are so familiar with Seattle, do you
Speaker 3: rely on people who've been here to say, you know,
Speaker 3: what's worked in the past, what hasn't worked. Do you
Speaker 3: start kind of gauging the room as far as just
Speaker 3: you know what your first steps are when you implement
Speaker 3: the game play? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you always do that.
Speaker 1: Anytime you have a team that plays one another twice,
Speaker 1: I think you have a perspective of of who they
Speaker 1: are and what they do.
Speaker 2: You know, we played Seattle last year.
Speaker 1: I was in Carolina, But uh, being able to play
Speaker 1: these guys, you know, twice a year. If they understand you,
Speaker 1: you understand them. Uh, you understand personnel. So uh, we
Speaker 1: definitely talked as a staff and uh have gone back
Speaker 1: and looked at some of the things that we've done well,
Speaker 1: some of the things that hurt us and uh so
Speaker 1: therefore we can anticipate uh what may be to come.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about the.
Speaker 3: Way Jaire Brown played last week and this is his
Speaker 3: first start?
Speaker 2: What do you want to see from him this week
Speaker 2: in preparation?
Speaker 1: Well, I I I first of all, I want to
Speaker 1: acknowledge the mere facto, well Huff a captain. Uh. Uh
Speaker 1: of when I say a captain, I'm talking about a
Speaker 1: leader in the secondary, all pro player.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: We're definitely gonna miss him, you know. And for JayR
Speaker 1: to step in uh at that particular time in the
Speaker 1: game and perform the way he did exciting. But Uh,
Speaker 1: he and I talked last week and his preparation each
Speaker 1: and every day. You can see the growth, uh from
Speaker 1: when he got here back in the spring.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He's playing with a great level of confidence. And I
Speaker 1: think the guys back there with Gip uh Fred and
Speaker 1: all the guys that's gonna he he's gonna be surrounded
Speaker 1: with I think he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3: He talked to before the Tampa game.
Speaker 2: Uh, yes, we talk every week.
Speaker 1: I always talk to those young guys and just trying
Speaker 1: to give them a beat on where I feel they
Speaker 1: are and their progression and how they're doing. And Uh,
Speaker 1: he indeed winners.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I think I've made major strides since they've been here,
Speaker 1: and guys that we feel very confident in the situation
Speaker 1: if they had to go in unfortunately he did that
Speaker 1: they were gonna step up and perform.
Speaker 3: On the play where you did get beat or was
Speaker 3: he not count for the wide receiver speed or.
Speaker 2: What was the him on that? Uh?
Speaker 1: Initially I think he's he saw Evans looking back for
Speaker 1: the ball cause we was all out pressure, so he
Speaker 1: assumed that it was coming quick. Uh and it was
Speaker 1: really an out and up so so uh he was
Speaker 1: able to recover, Uh just from you know, being as
Speaker 1: athletic as he is and put himself in a great
Speaker 1: position to make a play on the ball.
Speaker 2: He would wisdom to be honest years worth been your
Speaker 2: impression or just how he carries himself.
Speaker 1: I just think he you know, he he's serious about
Speaker 1: the game and he puts a lot of time and
Speaker 1: effort into it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: UH we met as a staff today defensively early and
Speaker 1: you know, Daniel Bullet wasn't in there cause he was
Speaker 1: meeting with him and he wanted to come in and
Speaker 1: to get some extra work. So Dave does a great
Speaker 1: job with all those guys.
Speaker 3: See how important are unimportant are sacks and evaluating the
Speaker 3: effectiveness performance of AUH of.
Speaker 2: An aed dreaser like that.
Speaker 1: You know, I've I've dealt with this all all year
Speaker 1: in regards to UH lack of production you know out
Speaker 1: of our front and I tell people all the time
Speaker 1: you have to really watch tape and understand football. It's
Speaker 1: a combination of things, but most important, you have to
Speaker 1: compliment one another. We have probably one of the highest
Speaker 1: percentage as far as pressure and hits on the quarterback
Speaker 1: and they're there times you don't see that effect for
Speaker 1: it's getting sacks because there's certain things that goes in,
Speaker 1: you know, along with that. But as you saw this
Speaker 1: past week, we're able to compliment one another with you know,
Speaker 1: different coverages out of disguise UH or even playing tight man.
Speaker 1: So Uh, A lot of things goes into that, but
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pleased where we are. I think we're progressing
Speaker 1: up front and uh doing the things we gotta do
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 3: Just how disruptive was Armstead this week? It seemed like
Speaker 3: he was getting, even for his standards of a lot
Speaker 3: of pressure.
Speaker 1: I I I I agree, I agree completely. I think
Speaker 1: when you go back and watch the tape his one
Speaker 1: on ones, we always talk about it, you gotta win,
Speaker 1: you know, uh collapse the pocket inside and try to
Speaker 1: make the quarterback, you know, being unable to follow through
Speaker 1: with his throws, and you saw Baker quite a bit
Speaker 1: of times that he could not do that. So uh,
Speaker 1: Eric played a great game and looking for him to
Speaker 1: do it again this week.
Speaker 3: Sharbonay the rookie from UCLA probably gonna get a lot
Speaker 3: of run in this game.
Speaker 2: What do you think and and how's uh your challenge
Speaker 2: this week?
Speaker 1: Well, I g I I think all those guys are
Speaker 1: gonna be a challenge, particularly on a short week.
Speaker 2: I look at you.
Speaker 1: Know, their their their running back corps, their receiving corps.
Speaker 1: All those skilled guys are phenomenal, and I think Pete
Speaker 1: does an outstanding job in his preparation of getting those
Speaker 1: guys ready to play. Uh. I know the run game
Speaker 1: is something that y uh point of emphasis for those
Speaker 1: guys and trying to create themselves to be a little
Speaker 1: bit more balanced. We got to do a great job
Speaker 1: in stopping to run and hopefully trying to make these
Speaker 1: guys one dimensional to where our front can be effective
Speaker 1: on the quarterback.
Speaker 2: That's alright. Appreciate you guys. You didn't have anything to do.
