1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: What did you think about the defense as a whole,

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: And it seemed like you guys can throw the live

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: scrimmage and stop the run pretty quickly, even though they

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: they kept trying.

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm really proud of how we came out

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: with energy and Fred making that play early kind of

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: set the tone. But yeah, if we could stop the

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: run like that, we'll obviously clean up more things and

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: we'll have a lot more rush ups in the future.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Guys, but against the run particularly, you've been five top seven.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: What what drive?

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: Well, that's just our main focus every year because if

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: you can make teams one dimensional, it's it's huge. And uh,

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 2: it's always a number one focus every single year, especially

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: with our d line scheme and the way we play

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: our linebackers. So so yeah, we take a lot of

17
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: pride in it. And last year we weren't as good

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: as we needed to be, so we had to improve.

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: How many yards was it tonight? You know I stopped it.

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: It was it was like thirty one late quarterly fourth

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: before those last two drives.

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: So under one hundred for sure.

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: I think it makes his team to outside influences and talk.

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: I mean, you have you know, you held out Last year,

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: you guys hit the ground running and find you get

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: two holdouts. This year, stuff's going on deep. Maybe it's

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: kind of a bad vibe this year, and you come

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: out and play like this.

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, our our ownership really takes care of us,

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: and you have to when you have really good players,

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: and we have really good players at every position. And

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: when guys aren't there, I mean, we have their back.

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: We know that when they get back, they're going to

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: work their butts off, so so it doesn't change when

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: they when they're not here, we're working, and when they come,

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: we're working. So it's a good day.

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: I said that you guys are just really sketching the

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: service of what the potential of this defensive line could do.

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: How did you feel out there with that?

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: I agree? Yeah, I think having him on the other

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: side is going to open up a lot of things

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: for for all the guys rushing and and Malik played

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 2: an awesome game in the run and and he's he's

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: a great vet to have and he me and him

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: are gonna are gonna work really well together on the

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: left there.

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it about the changes? I mean, because

48
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: obviously you lost record was such a main stay here

49
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: and you got a couple of injuries with Drey and

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: your it sounds like you're you're topping and comfortable with

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: the new new faces.

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: I guess yeah. No, that's a testament to Kyle and

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: John and all the scouts finding guys who fit us

54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: and fit our culture. And you really have no choice

55
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: when you come into this building to uh not play

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: with great effort and play Niner football. And I think

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: tonight it was the epitome of a Niner win.

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: Like to have Nick Werdenson out there in his first

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: game in defensive coordinator, and how do you think he's

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: kind of changed the defense?

61
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: He hasn't changed much. We have a few things that

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: we really didn't get to that are a little different,

63
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: but I think just keeping it simple, doing what we

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: do best and it works out usually.

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: A few referenced these guys earlier, But what specifically about

66
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Colins and Floyd makes them fit this? Why are they

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: good matches?

68
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: Well, Floyd is just a ball of energy and he

69
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: could run. And people think he's a smaller, skinnier guy

70
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: that can't play the run, but he could. He's explosive

71
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: as heck, so he could really play the run like

72
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: we need him to. And obviously he could rush his speed,

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: rush his uh, he's he's proved it throughout his career.

74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: And then Malik just a beast in the run game,

75
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: big big guy, and if he could do that all year,

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: then we're gonna to be in good shape.

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: Coincidence that he had last Aaron's last sack and then

78
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: got his first sack this.

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Year, yeah, no, he's he's uh. He gets to the

80
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: quarterback and we're gonna need him to here.

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: I mean, because you weren't here during training camp, it

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: didn't seem like as fast as a start. Do you

83
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: feel like this is a more cohesive group because everybody

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: was here through training camp?

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you definitely build some cohesiveness. And like

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: you said, we're just scratching the surface. We're gonna have

87
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: a lot a lot of fun games. I think. Thank

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: you
