WEBVTT - Wilks: 49ers are ‘Setting Focus on Tampa Bay’ | Press Pass

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Great to bounce back to what we did coming off

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the buy. I couldn't be more proud of a group

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>of men than I am. The players and coaches and

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>how we responded. I thought they were prepared by the

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.159
<v Speaker 1>coaches and they went out and executed and done an

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>outstanding job. So and I would also say this, you know,

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>as great as that performance was last week, it was

0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>last week.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, we got to move on.

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>We got a good football team that's coming in here

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday in Tampa Bay. Those guys, in my opinion,

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>can do pretty much everything from a standpoint and run

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I don't look at the stats and where

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.480
<v Speaker 1>they are. You look at White and Edmund Chase. They

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>do a great job in toting the rock. Their receivers,

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>as we all know, Evans is probably one of the

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 1>best in the league. He can run every route on

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the route tree. He can run by you, Godwin and

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>then as well as Tompkins and Palmer, they can take

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the top off. So, uh, we're gonna have our hands full.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>So we gotta do a great job. And I think

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Baker is playing at the extreme high level.

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>He's protecting the football, He's placing it where it needs

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.559
<v Speaker 1>to be placed. Those guys are rallying behind him. He's

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>a uh fierce competitor. Uh and I'm excited uh how

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>he's playing and uh we gotta do a great job

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>of trying to stop him this week.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>So with that, I take you questions.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 4>How did the field Uh?

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>It wa it was fine? And enjoyed the interaction with

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 2>the players.

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh. I think it was you know, in that regards.

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It was good to be able to look in their

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>eyes and communicate and you know, create some clarity. And

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and my thoughts moving to the next series is that

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the means and you guys.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 4>Give up three points and forced four takeaways.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh I I believe me, that wasn't nowhere near the

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>reason why. Uh we got good players and me being

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>down on the sideline had nothing to do with it. I.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I was just really excited once again, how they responded.

0:01:59.760 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm not living in the past.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we were a little tired, uh and

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>we needed that buy and you could see when we

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>came back on that Monday that they were fresh with

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>their legs. The attitude was completely different, and we played

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to our standard this past week and we got to

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>be consistent moving forward.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>See all the.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Years you've been doing this, I don't know if we

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 3>asked you last week, how many years have you actually

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.119
<v Speaker 3>spent upstairs versus on the on the sideline.

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>And what is the advantage of being on the sideline? Uh?

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh again, I was in the Boxton Caroline, I was

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 1>on the field in Cleveland. H. I think the advantage

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>is just that direct communication with the players, you know

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>where I thought our communication was great with the coaches,

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>but being able to talk to each position group and

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>hear their thoughts telling my thoughts, it just projects how

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the next series for us calling the game.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 4>On Sunday, and how is he continued to pick up

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 4>the defense?

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh? I thought he went out there and played well.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Uh it was a buck eyed meeting and that's the

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 1>quarterback first per se. So I thought he did some

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>great things.

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Causeraca's is in my opinion, and the best dline coach

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in the league. And he's getting the best teaching and uh,

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's continuing to progress and the things that

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>we want him to do in regards to stopping the

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>run and how we play it. But I think right

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 1>now he's playing well I'm excited to see what he

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>does this week.

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>We talked a lot about tying the pass rush to

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 2>your coverage. It seemed like guys were able to do that.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 3>On Sunday, Trevor Patent ball a little bit more than easy.

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Just how were you able to do that? What was

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 2>making that work? Again?

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought we compliment each other well. Also coming out

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>of the buy, just trying to evaluate, you know, our

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>coverage is our front most importantly, how they look, you know,

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>and what you know, what I had been calling previous

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>weeks and what we tried to be able to do

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is just work on our disguise a little bit more

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and try to create some confusion, you know, to where

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe he thought we were coming when we work, we're

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>not coming. And then vice versas we sitting, I can

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>all of a suddenly bring pressure. So it's it's just

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>definitely trying to take the game out of the coordinator's

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>hand and a lot of the quarterback to bed and

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>see certain things post snap.

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Thomas and what can you do differently with him on

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the field as posted to.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I say, Oliver, I like Ambry. I thought Ambry did

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.559
<v Speaker 1>some great things in preseason and also too just to

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>speak on Oliver. Oliver I thought, has you know, helped

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 1>us win a lot of football games early on.

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna continue to help us win games.

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>This this league is all about, you know, each week

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>is matchups and different things. So I felt that Demo

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>played well inside. Amory just brings a different element when

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>he can play outside.

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I love his man the man technique.

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he you know, he's quick in and out

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>of his breaks, and he's physical, you know, he steps

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>up in the tackles.

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 2>And I love the way he took the ball away.

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, in plus territory when those guys had three points,

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>we took points off the board.

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Play eight games and everybody pretty much agreed.

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 3>That you needed to buy and if the buy was beneficial,

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.479
<v Speaker 3>and now you gotta play nine more and potentially the

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 3>postseason that you hope. How how do you keep fresh

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 3>over that stretch it's even longer than the one that

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 3>you started the season.

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think, really, and hats off to Kyle. I

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>think he does a great job of really orchestrating you know,

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the practice and and and how we go about our business.

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Rather it's you know, taking pass off. Rather it's trying

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to create a walk through, you know, having the foresight

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and the forward thinking to understand that, you know, we

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 1>got three games right here in twelve days, and how

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>we go about our business is trying to really preserve

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>uh some energy but also be effective in what we're

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to get done. So uh, he does a great

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.359
<v Speaker 1>job with that, and you know, I think we'll be fine.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, we we got another mini by coming up

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>after the uh Thursday nine games, so that'll help us

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit as well. But our focus right now

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is on Sunday with Tampa Bay.

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 4>On the pass rush here during that losing street, these

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 4>guys been obviously, I mean the coverage was tied to

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 4>that the guys in the secondary were be taking that personally,

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 4>I would do sense.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope, I hope we all were taking the personal

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>being oh one three, I know I was, and and

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I do agree, uh that those guys were getting criticized.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>But if you understand and know the game and watch

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>actually the tape, uh, we got a lot of pressure

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>uh on the on the quarterback. So there was different things, yes,

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>probably within the secondary that we could do differently, starting

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>with maybe the the calls and allowing those guys at

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>certain times to be uh a little bit more sticky

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and the coverage or as I just talked about this

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 1>past week, given a different look, uh, which confuses the

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.919
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and makes them hold the ball a little longer.

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>And that's all we really need sometimes with the guys

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>that we have up front, it's just that second hitch,

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>you know. So Uh again, it was great to see,

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh those guys compliment one another.

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh your brand only you only get a few snaps.

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Some of them looked kind kind of promising. Where is

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 2>he is developed and what do you kind of want

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>to see from him going forward?

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's funny we're just talking about him on the

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>last play of practice.

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 2>He's progressed and gotten a whole lot better. Uh.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>When you really look at the college season, you know

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty much over right, you probably getting ready for

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>conference playing bowl games. So he's really had that full

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>year and you can really see his confidence and how

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>he moves around that practice. Uh, just the way he

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>communicates and those kinds of things that he's gotten better

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>with in this year. So I'm excited about him moving

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>forward in any chance, anytime we can get those guys

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>into the game, it's just only gonna continue to help

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>develop them.

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 3>How do you get better defending the screen game? What

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 3>what can you do in practice to get your guys

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 3>better prepared.

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.239
<v Speaker 2>To defend the screen? Uh? I don't think it's so much.

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>And if one of you guys would indulge in doing

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the study, I'm sure you figure out it's no magical

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>call with the screens. It's all about sometimes effort. You know,

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I said all the time, you just gotta go whoop

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that in front of you. You know, you got set

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the damn edge, and you know we gotta get guys

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>turning and run and getting out of the stack.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you know, And you know it's just sometimes that simple.

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>If you look at the way our d line terms

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>all run I think a couple of weeks ago, Uh cleat,

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I forgot who it was, Uh what team? Rather, I

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>mean he saved one because you know, we just turn

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to run. But we gotta do a better job setting

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the edge perman of the run game and stop running

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 1>lateral and just get vertical.

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 2>So that's the key thing there.

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, rather in two rather in three rather than man,

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody's got as That's it.

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 2>The key to.

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Stopping Mike Evans through trying to stop Mike Evans.

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>You've obviously faced him so many times over the years.

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 2>What's uh, I I it's a tough, big body guy.

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You try to sit here and you press him, he's

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna mustle you. At the line of scrimmage. You know,

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>you play off he you know, very deceptive speed, he's

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna run by you. So again, Uh, we gotta mix

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>things up, you know, from a standpoint of man's zone.

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Getting our hands on these receivers and just trying really

0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to be physical.

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Gets called on this year.

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 4>Is there are they ticki tac penalties that he's drying

0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 4>mainly rather than flagrant?

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, uh, you know, penansy is a penalty. You know

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>what I emphasize and talk a little bit more. Uh,

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.079
<v Speaker 1>he has outstanding feet, you know, and when he moves

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>his feet, is he in what I call in phase position.

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>We don't have to grab. So we're trying to get

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>away from that a little bit and just really trying

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to emphasize more of his technique and how that's gonna

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>help develop him, you know, within the course of the

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>rep right.

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you guys, Thank you
