WEBVTT - Steve Wilks Analyzes the 49ers Defense Before #NYGvsSF | Press Pass

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Trying to get ready for this Thursday night game facing

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a good football team that just came off a very

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>impressive win with Arizona Cardinals.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Just showed really their.

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Resilience and how they fought back. Got a lot of

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>respect for the coach known them for a long time.

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>He's definitely gonna have these guys prepared and ready to play,

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>as you saw what they were capable of doing last week.

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And again, quick turnaround, We get ready go out on

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the field now just a second, trying to get the guys,

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, acclimated to some of the things that we

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>know we're gonna see Thursday night. But I always say

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 1>this particular week is all about us fundamentally and what

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>we can do with a quick turnaround and just making

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>sure that we take care of our business and be

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>in detailing the things that we asks the guys to do.

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>And with that, I'll take your questions.

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>How challenging is it to face Daniel Jones and the

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>zone read in particular on a quick turn around.

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>He's very challenging.

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh, extremely athletic, does a great job, uh with that

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>format of that offense. They love to you know, run

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>his own readers. You mentioned, uh that's part of day

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Bo day Ball's uh offense. He did the same thing

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo of aalence, So it's definitely something that we're

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna see. It's definitely something that we put on tape

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>during pre season, so we definitely gotta be prepared for it.

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 3>Been like for you to just you know, be up

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 3>in the mood calling the past two games and just

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 3>getting a feel for your guys and what positions to

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 3>put them in, which which buttons to push.

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Is it just a.

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Year long process or do you get more kind of

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.919
<v Speaker 3>in the focus of what you expect.

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Out of your guys.

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, Uh, I think it's it's gonna constantly be evolving

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>throughout the year. But I don't think it's gonna take

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>if I'm following your cor uh question correctly. Uh uh

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a season uh to to get a feel for what

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>we want to do. I think you get a feel

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>throughout the course of the game. And I think, uh,

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you saw it at the second half and the adjustments

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that we made when we came out, uh with with

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>our defensive line.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I try to allow those guys to settle in and

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>go play and try not to do a lot. But

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it turned into a game that Stafford was getting rid

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>of the ball quickly. Uh, So you didn't really see

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the effect of what we were capable of doing up

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>front because they didn't have an opportunity to do that.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>So uh, I had to adjust to be able to

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>get those guys time. And the only way you can

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>give them time is to get stickier and coverage on

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the back end.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 3>The fact that you did him to dial up more

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 3>butzes which as ideally want to just get pressure with.

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 3>For I mean, Stafford one of the few quarterbacks in

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>the NFL that can force this defense to make that

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 3>type of adjustment.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he's he's a season vet. I think he

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>understands in those where where he wants to go with

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the ball.

0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>He does a great job and getting the ball out

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>quickly and uh does a tremendous job and looking you

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>off at times. So again I think, you know, we

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>can do a better job as we did in the

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>second half and tightening things up, and that starts with me.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And then also I think when you get a guy

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>that caliber, you can't show your hand all the time.

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You got to make him guess post snap by showing

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the one thing pre snap do.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 3>You prep for Barkley or and do they look the same.

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Do you think they'll look the same with Bragwell or

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Gray or Brita those I mean, I think the offense

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>and what he wants to do is gonna be consistent.

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Barkley is disappointing that you know for him that he's

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>not out, that he's out. But I think all those

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>guys are capable. But when you really look at their offense,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I think the question started earlier with his own read.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that to me is their run game

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and and what he's capable of doing, not only from

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 1>that point, but also just scrambling, you know, buying time

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket and doing things with his feet.

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Oliver, do you feel on Sunday that he took a step?

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I think all you guys can answer that question.

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>And in the place that he made out there, particularly

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>that third down tackle, I think it was phenomenal. We

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>open field tackle, and uh, that was huge at that

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>point in time of the game. Uh, he came up

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>with an interception. You can see just his length and

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the way he grabbed the ball out of the air,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and then the fourth down play where he shot the gap.

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't I couldn't be more proud of him and

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>how he's uh stayed the course. You know, we moved

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 1>some things around. He didn't waiver, he didn't blink. Uh,

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>kept working hard and it paid off for him.

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Up the coverage.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it m M just getting them outside coverage a

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>little tighter or is it other? O?

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>No, it's it's different.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You know when we play certain zone coverages and and

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>the receiver splits are tight, you know, Uh, we don't.

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 1>We don't get down impressed because a lot of times

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.479
<v Speaker 1>if you sit here and run the ball and now

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>they getting two for one, they got edges on you.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's a give and take and it's a flow

0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of the game that you gotta get a feel for

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>or and that's what I did. And uh, once I

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>got a feel for the game, I adjusted on the

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>back end. It will allow our guys to have the

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to get a little stickier in coverage. So, uh,

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it's mostly with the corners. Has had a bit of

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>an issue containing scrambling quarterbacks for years, expending multiple coordinators.

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>What's the key to containing a scrambling quarterback? What makes

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>it so difficult? Uh?

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh? I think number one, we just gotta maintain our

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 1>rush lanes. You know, I think sometimes that uh, our

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>guys and that that position itself is just so aggressive, right,

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden you're trying to tell those

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>guys to slow down, and uh, that's not what they

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>do naturally. So we just gotta be able to again, uh,

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>with our different stunts that we wanna call up front,

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>allow us to be able to clog through rush lanes.

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>So he has nowhere to step up and then once again, uh,

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>just trying to be tied on the back end to

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>make them hold the football, Oliver, as.

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 3>You just said in the locker room. But obviously, as

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 3>a competitor, you want to be known as the first

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 3>train that we and so he wasn't amused. Maybe that

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 3>wasn't you know, quite quite the case. It seems like

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 3>he has handled that process well. I mean, is he

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>very professional about Uh?

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>Total class, total class guy handled the right way.

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>That was the first thing I said after the game

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that you know, it could have gone differently, but you know,

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>uh didn't complain, just went out each and every day

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 1>did his job, and when the opportunity came, he stepped

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>up and made play.

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>So very proud of his performance. The defensive ends in particular,

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 2>start with the mobile quarterback.

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you have to remind them like don't rush past

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback or.

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Does that go without saying It somewhat goes about saying,

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we always use the term, you know, the

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>depth of the QB, you know, and being able to

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 1>step up and come underneath.

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>So again, you know, Daniel is extremely mobile.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>He does some great things again with his own reading

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>and buying time getting outside the pocket, you know, big

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>boot team, you know, trying to give him the option

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>to get on the perimeter. If it's not there, then

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>he gonna win with his legs. So we gotta do

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a great job containing him.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 2>This week.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 3>I want to read on on Bosa and how how

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 3>he feels he's done the first two games, and I

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 3>guess how hungry need to go after him?

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think you probably have to ask him and

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.760
<v Speaker 1>he'll tell you he's definitely not satisfied with with where

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>he is. But as a coach, understanding that he wasn't

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>here all off season and and to come in and

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>take thirty two snaps in the first game, I believe

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 1>it was uh and play last week, so uh, it's

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna come.

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh. You saw the effort there. Uh.

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>You saw the push across the board with those guys.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh again, Stafford was getting rid of the ball so fast.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's only a time on a maoutter

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of time question.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Base in LA. Can you talk about that? Say that

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>one more time, Base in in in l A.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh, I can talk about then when they came to

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Carolina last year, we travel well.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Thankish
