WEBVTT - Fred Warner on the 49ers Mindset Heading into the Bye | Press Pass

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:03.559
<v Speaker 1>And even though he's.

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.680
<v Speaker 2>You don't need to say no, I mean, come on now, Like,

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 2>the thing is is the quarterback is always going to

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 2>receive the blend, like the the brunt of the the criticism.

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>But Brock is like the least of my worries. Brock

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>is made of the right stuff.

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, can he protect the ball better, sure, but he's

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 2>the reason why we have a chance to win games

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 2>and every single game that we're in, like right now,

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I can't like the The common denominator right now is

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>that I haven't been able to say in the in

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the last three losses that man, the defense had our

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>best outing.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>We just happened to lose. We're not playing good football.

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 2>On our side, and that's the reason why we haven't

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>won the last three games. And that's got to get

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 2>figured out, and it will get figured out. The Bible

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>would be great for us. You know, people wanna say,

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>oh man, it sucks like we can't just get the

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>taste out of our mouth after a quick turn around,

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Like we had that opportunity this week and we didn't.

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:56.639
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get it right.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna look at it as you know, a

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>good reset to be able to go into the buy

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>and figure this thing out and get back to playing

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>forty nine or defense, because right now we're not.

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>What you just said about the defense is the most

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 1>of your worries right now. What specifically are the things

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>that are going wrong with uh?

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Just inconsistency across the board. Uh, I think tackling has

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>been an issue when it hasn't been in the past.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, players have got to execute at a higher level,

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>including myself. We gotta play more as a unit. There's

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 2>gotta be more hunt to the football at all three levels.

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 2>There's gotta be more penalty free football. Like I said,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>execution gotta be higher. We think that we're we're preparing hard.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>We think that we're putting a lot of work in.

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Obviously we're not doing enough. You know, there's gotta be more.

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>There's gotta be more there. You know, it's just what

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>it is.

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Seen character your defense. What do you see from the

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>past coverage or the past defense and change out? Yeah?

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>No, we uh, we we were gonna keep a simple

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 2>as game and and rely on our execution to uh,

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, play play our coverage and with our.

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Uh with our rush. And it just wasn't enough today.

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh, playing complimentary football, and uh, I have to look

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>at the tape to see exactly where we where we

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 2>were wrong in that in that face.

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Defensively, how damaging do you think that that verse third

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>down was? Uh? What were you have? Two defensive line?

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I missed that sack and rolls out?

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I we gotta be we gotta be

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>better on third and long, Like that's gotta be automatic

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>off the field, you know, when we get 'em backed

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>up in a third and long situation.

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I think back to back weeks.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>We had one last week where it was about a

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>third and twelve and we gave up a checkdown for

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>a first down in the in the beginning of the game.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Same thing this game.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, Like that's not

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>back breaking, Like I think we gotta we gotta be

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>better at bouncing back, you know, off of adversity, Like

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>who cares if they get a first down you know,

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>backed up in that situation early in the game, Like,

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>but how are we gonna respond?

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>You know? Like it is what it.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Is this last week. That's something that's game rights still

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Like me, I mean, we haven't shown that we can

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>play from behind and come back and win a football game.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's something that we gotta address in and get

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>better at.

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh. We can't just be a team that can only

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>win when we're up, you know what I'm saying. So

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that's why I'm sure that something will look.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.839
<v Speaker 1>At really over confident after we think that was part

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty two, not at all, I don't think so. I think.

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I think after we won that game and we're going

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 2>into the Browns, I mean, I think every single week,

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the mindset is just to go one and know, like

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>give ya all to like just just win one game,

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's like to say that them.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>The mindset shifted after that after going starting five and no,

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't thinks.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I I really don't think so it just isn't enough.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 2>And the easy thing right now to do is to

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>is to say, you know, I'm s it's to tuck

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>away somewhere. S. Stuff is hard, you're down three to zero,

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of hide in the corner. But I promise,

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 2>like that's that's not the type of guys that we got.

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>That's not who I am. I know, I'm gonna stand tall,

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna continue to rally the team I'm gonna continue

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to show up and put the most work.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>In I can. And words are great. You know, I'm

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>not I'm not.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Trying to sit here and just give you a speech,

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 2>but like I'm actions obviously gotta lead first. So uh

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 2>that's just what what we're gonna do. So he's got

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>some prism Steve Wilkes, you know, you know, you know

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>he's the coach's that's kind of that's the likely lead.

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>But what do you think about the way he's coordinated.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>He said that he's kind of learning the defense. He's

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>think there's an adjustment period's still going on.

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's the least my words. Honestly, I think

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>players win games, not coaches. I think uh, I think

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>he's done a great job. I think right now. The

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the issue is, I mean there's there's gonna be ebbs

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>and flows in the season, especially with a new defense coordinator.

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 2>I think the offensive side is has gone through that

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 2>as well when we lost mc daniel.

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, like even though Kyle is a play caller.

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Like when you lose a coach, there's gonna be adjustments

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>being made throughout the season. So we gotta continue to

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>work on that. But At the end of the day,

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 2>players are gonna be the reason why that we win games.

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.799
<v Speaker 2>We gotta execute at a higher level. Uh, player wise,

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>attack this year.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Had been much year at all. Since you get here,

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 1>what can you put your finger on miss your west

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>for me? Uh nothing, I'd really put my finger on.

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not gonna make excuses for while we're

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>missing tackles. You gotta gotta tackle betterers of the defense?

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>What what and you say? What did you say to

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>your defensive teammates?

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>And today I said to the defense and to the

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 2>entire team, it was I mean, this is it? Like

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have a a game after this after like

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>this was our season right here? For there's one game,

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, obviously knowing that we had

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>a boy going into the next week, just just emptying

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the tank, uh for one game, and uh it obviously

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't enough, right, I got
