1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: About transforming, you know, the good and the negative from 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: one week, and make yourself better following. 3 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, it's you know, you're real with yourself. 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: You understand where you're at as a quarterback, how you played, 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter if you play good or bad. 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: Like you can't I don't think take really any of 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: that with you the next week. It's a new game, 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: it's a new scheme, it's new environment, everything everything about 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: it is new. So it's almost like you got to 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: clean the slate, learn from the mistakes, build off of, 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: you know, the good things that you've done. But it's 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: gonna be it's it's a new game. So that's the 13 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: mental battle that I feel like all the NFL quarterbacks 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: go through and and I think that's where the great 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: ones really, you know, separate themselves from the others. 16 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 3: So yeah, that's how I look at it. When you 17 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 3: watch the Green. 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 4: Bay film and you were being and you were critiquing yourself, 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 4: what didn't you like about the way you played in 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 4: the first part of. 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: The game, Yeah, I feel like there was just, uh, 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: you know, early on, there was some decisions that I 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: made that sort of made me feel a little tentative. 24 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: You know after you know obviously that one that could 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: have been intercepted, and it's like, you know, go through 26 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: reads and take the checkdowns when when the defense presents 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: presents itself the way it does, and you know, build 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: off that rather than trying to search for the play 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 2: and look for the big play and and then when 30 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: it's not there, you know, not having confidence in our 31 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: checkdowns and stuff. So that's something that you know, I 32 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: have to be better at. That's that that's what I 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: needed to do. At the end of the game. I 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,639 Speaker 2: feel like we got to that point and I started 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: doing that better and we were able to move the ball. 36 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: So that's something that I learned for sure. 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 5: The aggressiveness of the defense, but their corners in particular, 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 5: it's been a double edged sword because the great takeaways, 39 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 5: but they also do you see that whole the line 40 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 5: of danger but chances against them. 41 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think every week it's sort of 42 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: been a little different just depending on who they're playing. 43 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: This they do a lot of switching up just with 44 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: their coverages and how they play guys and certain receivers 45 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: that they're covering. So it's always a little different with them, 46 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: and so there could be some big plays, and then 47 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 2: there's also plays where they're gonna play tight and you know, 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 2: as a quarterback, so you got to know that they're 49 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: going to be aggressive and they can make a play. 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: So it's definitely a fine line. And once we get 51 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: into the game, hopefully we can get a feel for 52 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: it and understand what kind of game it's going to 53 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: be with them. 54 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 4: Given how last year when you got to this stage, 55 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 4: things things ended for you. For you personally, especially what 56 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 4: does it mean to you to be back on this 57 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 4: stage and have another opportunity just a year. 58 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: Later to be in this game. 59 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is obviously where we wanted to 60 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: get to as a team, and that's you know, first 61 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: and foremost, and. 62 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: Obviously I'm excited that we're here. 63 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: And so now it's you know, last year's last year 64 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: that was its own game. It wasn't hasn't been anything 65 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: that has bled into this year or this game, and 66 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: you know, this is the forty nine ers against the 67 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: lines now, so it's a new year, new approach, I 68 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: feel like, just in terms of you know, playing their 69 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 2: defense and their scheme, not you know, thinking about last 70 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: year or anything. So you know, for me, obviously I got 71 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: hurt last year, and it sucks. That was part of 72 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: the game. You know, going into this game, I'm healthy, 73 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: you feel good, and you know, I think for all 74 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: of us, were obviously hungry and we want to get 75 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: to the next game after. So we've got to handle 76 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: business and take it one play at a time and 77 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: allow everything to happen for a reason. 78 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: So it's not trusting the checkdowns because you're getting to 79 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: them late, because you're looking searching for the big players. 80 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: What it is, I'd say, so, yeah, in that game, 81 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: when you look. 82 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: At last year, I mean, it seemed like it happened 83 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: so quickly. What's the difference in kind of the slow 84 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: builder this year? You know, knowing you're the starting quarterback 85 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: from day one, knowing that the goal is to get 86 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship game, is there any difference in 87 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: the mindset for you? 88 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I've I've obviously played more games 89 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: this year and stuff compared to last year, and so 90 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: to help this team from the beginning and all the 91 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: way to the end to get to where we are now, 92 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: for me, it's a little different. And obviously that's been 93 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: our goal. And now to say that, okay, I actually 94 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: helped our team. 95 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: That's cool. 96 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: Were last year, you know, I got thrust it in 97 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: and we had a good team. We were rolling, and 98 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: not to take away anything that happened last year, but 99 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: it sort of does feel a little different because you 100 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: went through so many highs and lows this year and 101 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: now to get to where we are, it's like, Okay, 102 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: it feels pretty good. So but at the same time, 103 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: this has been this organizations and teams mindset long before 104 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: I even got here, and what they've been building here 105 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: in terms of, you know, doing and doing what it 106 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: takes to get to the championship, and so I'm just 107 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: another key part of that, and I'm just doing my 108 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: job as best as I can week in and week out. 109 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: And here we are. 110 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: How do you feel about just the supporting cast around 111 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 4: you in terms of maybe a more apt in terms 112 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 4: of being able to have contingency plans at one goes 113 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: down maybe more than you did last year. How deep 114 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: you guys are. 115 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's I think it's huge. You know. 116 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: Obviously we get we get guys that get banged up 117 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: and may not play as much and whatnot from game 118 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 2: to game, but we have some studs all across the board, 119 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: and we gotta get guys that. 120 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: Can step up. 121 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings, Ray Ray mccleole, like, you got guys that 122 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: can come in and do the job really well. So 123 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: that's something that's cool about our team and what this 124 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: organization has done. You know, obviously they get guys that 125 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 2: are willing to step in and continue to keep this 126 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: thing going. And we've shown that, I feel like throughout 127 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 2: the years, and so you know, obviously the teams have 128 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: to scheme to stop certain guys, and I think at 129 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: the end of the day, they end up having to 130 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: have to just play their way of football rather than 131 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: focusing so much on one certain guy because we have five, six, seven, 132 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: you know, guys that they have to worry about. 133 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: So that's the cool part. And I mean it's the 134 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: team that we got. So what thing is the key? 135 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: Just to win on Sunday? 136 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 2: Man, I feel like just for us on offense, you know, 137 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 2: we gotta obviously put up points. They have a good offense. 138 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: We respect their defense a lot and what they do. 139 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: They've had a lot of success this year and obviously 140 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: the last couple of games that they've been playing really well. 141 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: So for us, it's you know, don't turn the ball over, 142 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: put up some points like we have this year, let 143 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: our defense to do their thing, and and uh, you know, 144 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: try to win the momentum throughout the game. I feel 145 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: like this game is gonna come down the momentum, and 146 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: whoever has that I think has a good chance of 147 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: winning the whole thing game. 148 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: And uh, this year at home painful on your back. 149 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Do you feel like that makes a big difference in 150 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: the atmosphere going into this NFC Championship. 151 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, just the game that this 152 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: is going to be. It's an NFC Championship, two really 153 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: good teams, and then obviously just the Bay Area and 154 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: the faithful in general. We want this game bad, you know, 155 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: and they've obviously been hoping, you know, you know, to 156 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: have another championship come in this organization. Last couple of 157 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 2: times we've been in the Super Bowl, we've fallen short. 158 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: So now we get a shot at it. And so 159 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: to play at home in the NFC Championship, it's gonna be. 160 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: It's gonna be sweet. 161 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 5: Missed assignment. 162 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: One more time? 163 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 4: How important is it for you and what you guys 164 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 4: do as an offense to hopefully have Deevo out there. 165 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's huge. 166 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: Obviously, he's a I think he's he's probably the best 167 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: playmaker in this league.
