WEBVTT - Nick Bosa On 'Executing Better' Following #DALvsSF | Press Pass

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, you were expected to finish plays and you

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:08.079
<v Speaker 1>understand that even if you were just closed. Did you

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 1>feel tonight was an example of you being able to

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:11.520
<v Speaker 1>finish the players?

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it was good. We started hot and

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I think we played well as a defense. It's kind

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 2>of in the story this year though, letting them back

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in the game. So that's a big focus that we

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>need to correct because playing good teams here, you got

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to put them away.

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 3>What do you think of that?

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>The alignment with sam O at defensive tackle, it seemed

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>like really playing the run well inside.

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh well that's a pass thing. He doesn't play inside

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>on the run, but he's doing a great job. It's

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely different inside. So for him to adapt, he

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>really didn't get reps at that throughout camp, so for

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 2>him to be able to produce inside, it's it's a

0:00:55.280 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>testament to his ability to adapt and help us. Might

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>say that, you know the second half, you can do

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever team you want to be.

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you feel like this is a super Bowl level

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 3>team or do you still have things you have to

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 3>do to get there?

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Of course we need to improve, but I mean, like you,

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>like you were talking about the rookies, showing up and

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 2>and doing their part and adding to an already really

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>good lineup of guys is huge. But yeah, we're gonna

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 2>keep getting better, and I think getting this win is

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>obviously huge, and resting up, maybe getting a couple guys

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>back and hit hit the ground run.

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I think in twenty two, after by seven to two

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>last year, after which are you able to pull on

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that kind of history knowing that another good run.

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've kind of with my message has been talking

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>about the past. But I think it's a new team,

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of new guys, So I think it's time

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>to kind of just focus on the now.

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 4>Some discussion you had a hat on it was not

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 4>but how you're currently quaring, Uh, why did you take

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 4>that opportunity to make pay would appear to be a

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 4>political statement.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna talk too much about it, but I

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>think it's an important time.

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, you guys have a bye week and you get

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 3>to rest and recover. But before we kind of look

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>ahead to the bye week, in this game, at halftime,

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 3>you guys went in the locker room kind of down.

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:34.679
<v Speaker 3>What was going through your mind at that point when

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.679
<v Speaker 3>it came to the fact that it's Cowboys to lose

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 3>this game again. How do we get out of this hole?

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 3>How do we dominate?

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>What was I think Fred had a great message. I

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>don't want to give it away, but he had a

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 2>great message for us in the in the locker room,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>and and we we felt like the superior team and

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>we just needed to kind of execute a little better.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>There was a couple of things that we were we

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 2>were messing up on, so just about executing longer and

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>we should beat teams that were better than.

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 4>There a little energy from George Kittle and what you

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 4>could do when he's doing the third quarter.

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I heard you talk, Fred talk about it. He's

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>he's a warrior. There's a lot of guys in this

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>league who wouldn't play through the things he plays through

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>every year. And for him to play like the best

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>tight end in the league on National tight Ends Day

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 2>while he's battling things just shows how much of a

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>beast he is.

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Does his leadership help the young on the team as well,

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>It's huge.

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a lot of new guys in the tight

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 2>end room and then yeah, just having that leadership on offense,

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>it is huge.

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>What was asked after the game, if he's excited for

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the bye week, and he's like, not really is it's

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>needed At the same time as it feels like kind

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of a little bit of a momentum stopper after you

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>guys maybe get going there.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 4>In the second half.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think it's a momentum stopper, but I'm

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>not surprised Demo feels that way. It is tough to

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of watch people play on Sunday, but this league

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>is is brutal, so any any rest he could get

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>as big.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 4>But in the sixth season, I mean, have you I

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 4>realized you you want to talk too much about it,

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 4>But have you been tempted in the past to kind

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 4>of You're no.

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's definitely a little easier nowadays, but but no,

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel too too inclined to do that because

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 2>just a different climate speak.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 4>What can you say about his ascension.

0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's unbelievable. He came in as a rookie

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>and he's a bit of an airhead, but he is

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>just gotten so much better and he's he's one of

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 2>my favorite players that I've ever played with, Just such

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 2>a dog and you need guys like that in the

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 2>back end. Who aren't afraid to come in and play

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the run. And and then he makes huge plays. He

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>could cover anybody, and he's he's very unselfish. They ask

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 2>him to do a lot of different things. He could

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>be a lockdown outside corner in this league, and they

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>ask him to play inside and he never waivers. Yeah,

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's gotten a little smarter about about

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. We can't be giving people fifteen yards. So

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 2>I love him. Thanks,
