WEBVTT - Steve Wilks Preview #SFvsAZ Matchup | Press Pass

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>It's act another good practice UH together again today, Uh,

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and we definitely gonna need it this week going against

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a good football team.

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>UH. I would tell you first off, do not look

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>at their record.

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 1>These guys are pretty good and uh uh command the

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>whole coaching staff and how they got these guys uh

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>prepared each week and ready to play.

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh. You look at that talent level across the board.

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>You know Kyl is back and we know uh he's

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>he's a big play uh ready to happen in any moment.

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Connor is still running the ball extremely hard. Uh.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Ron Dale Hollywood can take the top off at any time.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>They're doing a little bit more with Rondale putting him

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield. Uh, he's running the football well. Uh

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>so uh in the offensive line is doing a great

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>job protecting. So I've told the guys all week, you

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 1>know we're gonna have to go earn this one. It's

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.279
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a definitely a a tough game, and

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I know we're gonna be up for the uh challenge.

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So with that, I'll take your questions.

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Urry's giving this defense some problems and sometimes during

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>his career was the key to defending him.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Again, I think it it's a it's a combination of

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of of a lot of things.

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Number one, we gotta be sound uh and our defensive

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>responsibilities for us his own read you know, uh, not

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>allowing him to be able to get outside the uh

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the pocket cause he's he's definitely gonna pull it uh.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.960
<v Speaker 1>And then also his ability to be able to scramble

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and uh go make a big play.

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a little different than Jalen, uh than

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>what we faced a couple of weeks ago, but it's

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>still the same premise that we gotta make sure that

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>we contain him.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>And once again, I think he's doing an excellent job

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>going through his progression, trying to stay in the pocket,

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>going through his different reads, and putting the ball where

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it needs to go.

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>What's the biggest different you mentioned? It's it's different than

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>defending Jalen. Uh.

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I I think you know, when he gets outside the pocket,

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 1>he can run, he he can leave you, he can

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>go buy you.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>So we gotta do a great job making sure we

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>try to contain him. We felt different with Jalen, you know,

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>forcing uh him outside and not allowing him to get

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>up vertical inside those A and gaps and that we

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>can you know, go get 'em.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Calamara is totally different.

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 3>You look at Kyler Murray previous to his injury and

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 3>then now how much difference do you look at You

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 3>look like the same guy.

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>It looks like the same guy to me, you know,

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I I think now with technology and how these guys

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>bounce back from acls and those things.

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh, he's still running well.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Once again, I don't see any you know, lamp of

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>uh a glitch in in his performance. So Uh, it's

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>always a concern when you have these running quarterbacks. So

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>we gotta do a great job by committee, you know,

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>eleven guys getting to the football and making sure that

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's no exsumptions that he's down.

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 4>Is your little first guy have a defensive tackle with

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 4>which kind of your state of confidence.

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 2>In in the back ups? There ah a lot of confidence.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>You look at what uh Ken law and and and

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Kevin has been doing given it s the last couple

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. Uh, very confident in their performance. Now they

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna play. Uh, We're not gonna put the onwings on them.

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be critical that they do a great job

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>inside penetrating and trying to play on their side of the

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>line of scrimmage, but across the board, we all gotta

0:02:59.360 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>step up.

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Even the first match up, they they went up tempo

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 4>on you, I think in the first half, how did

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 4>looking back at that, how'd you feel like your defense

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 4>defended that?

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 2>And do you expect that? Again?

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh, that's part of their you know, their offense, and

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>we always gotta be ready for that, you know, and

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>we just got to weather the storm. I think what

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>happens in most of those type of situations. We gotta

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>be be ready for what I consider, ah am a

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>minimum package and the things that I'm trying to get

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>done when they start up temp on because sometimes they

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>get you back on your heels a little bit where

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>you can't really do what you want. But we have

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a certain mellion that we like when they get up tempo.

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's what we gotta get too quickly.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>You used to be head coach down there.

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm just kind of what kind of emotions does that

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 4>carry for you?

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>None? None, yes, several times, so well we were beyond that. Uh.

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 3>If uh, Drake green Law and Warner Berths are out,

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 3>are you looking at maybe doing UH reveal de Winters.

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, uh D is definitely up. He does

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a good job on special teams. I have total confidence

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>if he has to go in there and play. You know,

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.839
<v Speaker 1>he's played apparently this year, particularly late in the game.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>So I got a lot of confidence in him. And

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll see exactly what's gonna transpire with Robert.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I love progress so far since start the.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Season with Robert YEA, Well, I I think you know,

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>uh D, I've talked about him several uh occasions.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gotten so much better.

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think Johnny has done a tremendous job

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and just the teaching and the progression that really him

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and jailing both uh and then I think, uh Robert

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>has a bright future. You know, I really do so,

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>cause Sarah's excited about him and the things that I

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>see as well.

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>So we got some.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Good young talent, and you know, hopefully when they get

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>in there, UH, the expectation doesn't change, they step up

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and perform.

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>You see how to flavor Fells.

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>He's smart. UH can play all three positions. You know,

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>if anything happens with green Law, UH, we anticipate him

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>playing this week, but if not, I have total confidence

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and Plank can go in there and get the job done.

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do.

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's your player in Chailey, Graham, Steve what do

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 4>a great de preseason? How's he progressed as the year

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 4>has gone on? And what what do you see when

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 4>you watch him?

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh? I see a lot of talent. I see a

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>guy with lamp that can run.

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>The one thing, uh that Jalen You have to remember

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.480
<v Speaker 1>when we got him, he was really a converted safety,

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, played well out in space.

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And it takes a while, not just within this defense,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>but as a whole just in the in the league

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to learn that position. And you can see the

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>difference in d who actually played linebacker at TCU. He

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>picks up things a little quicker and whatnot.

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>So that's the difference in the progression. But I have,

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, total confidence in Jalen and how he's progressing

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that he's doing.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Among your first messages this week, there.

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Are Yeah, I think it's you know, it started with

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>uh Kyle.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Kyle does a great job and setting the tone each

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>week and and you know, paying the picture that we

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>all need to see as players and coaches. So uh,

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and I just echoed that message. And and I see

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>the same thing when we watch tape this. You know,

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>I I don't even know what the record is. I

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 1>don't really care. But they're a good football team. They

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>better than what their record states.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of.

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 3>Christ during the three game losing street out the team's

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>winning and you're.

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Coaching the number one defense in the league and people

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>don't have that much to say about you anymore.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Does that use you? Nah? You know what? Man?

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I And like I told you guys before, you know,

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm a very small piece of this puzzle.

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I knew coming into this situation. Uh, when we didn't

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>do well, I was gonna get blaming. And when we

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>did good, we supposed to were at number one last year.

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>So it is what it is.

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 4>And you were DV Steve, and you know, DVS. What

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 4>do you think a louter he's shown on special teams?

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:43.720
<v Speaker 4>Is he healthy now?

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, l a lud Going back, I mentioned Jalen, I

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>talked about UH Robert Bill and then uh D winners.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh A lot of credit man to John John Lynch
