Aden Durde On The Keys To Slowing Down The 49ers' Offense · Seahawks Press Pass

  Speaker 1: Brock is so darn good at getting the football out
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of his hands quickly. I think he's at 2.8 seconds
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: per throw. What is the key for your secondary, not
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: necessarily the pass rush, but secondary to trying to force
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: him not to be able to throw the ball in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that first read and see if you can get your
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: pass rush going after him?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he does a great job of throwing on time.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Seeing the play before the snap, we've just got to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: be in our windows. We've got to own our leverage
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: and understand how we.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Play our coverage. and how we're being manipulated at times.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: But he does a great job of that.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: When you look back at the last two matchups last January,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: what were you guys.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Doing well defensively to limit them the way you did?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: There was a couple of things. I feel like the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: way we played.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: The game up front was we played well on the run.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: We understood how to stay square and build a wall.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And then on the back end, guys matched well when
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: they needed to match, then played discipline and played square.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: But this is a new team, and new players in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: certain positions and we've got to reset and do lots
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of different things a new way at times because we've
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: got different players in different spots and we've got to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: try and push ourselves to play our way every play.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: When you reviewed the Chargers game, was the second half
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: kind of just a lot of penalties or did you
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: see some other things there that sort of helped?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought there's both.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: You look at it through the penalty lens and you've
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: got to definitely understand the At the time, it's very frustrating,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, because you're emotionally connected to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that moment. So when you're winning, when you're losing, at
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: times you've got to balance yourself. But when you can
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: step back and look at it from above it and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: take a bird's-eye view of it, when we play like that,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: there are times when you do fall off the edge.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's those learning moments that we can always look at
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and say, okay, How do we play at this level?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: How do we push ourselves to this point and then
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: be able to keep ourselves on the edge? And I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: think we've had some great conversations on that. The players
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: have had some great conversations, and we just keep moving forward.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: What have you thought of Byron's first four games, particularly
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: as a pass rusher?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: It seems like that's taking up a little bit more.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You guys were kind of open at night with the offense. Yeah,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I think Byron's done a great job. I think he's
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: growing in anticipation.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I think he's always had the ability to deliver in
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: real moments. I think now he understands when the moment
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: presents itself. I think he understands when he's got his one-on-ones.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: What's he going to deal in that moment? Who's he
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: playing against? Because for him in this defense, you're not
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: always in the same spot. So it's not like you're
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: studying one player and I'm going to play this player.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And I know how he sets. He's going to be
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: playing like three, maybe four different players throughout the game.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: And knowing how to deal in those moments is, um,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: That's a learning, and that's an experience that he's gained,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I would say, over the last two years, and it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: really coming to fruition now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: What did you think of how Trevon Diggs played in
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the game? Good. He played solid. I think you're coming in.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It's a cool thing for me to see personally because
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I knew him before, and I know exactly what he's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: been through to get to this point, and so I'm
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: playing on Sunday. I thought he played well with the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: snaps he had. He's just got to keep getting more
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and more comfortable, and opportunity will present itself.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You haven't got to go looking for it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. Thanks, man. Sorry.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier the 49ers, you said, you know, those
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: new players, just what changes with them adding Debo back,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: adding Mike Evans, just like those two weapons, what does
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: that make them different?
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Mike Evans is a hell of a player.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: His ability to catch the ball and okay the ball
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: downfield shows up, still shows up, but I think the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: things that go missed with that guy is like his
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: toughness in between the paint and the way he plays
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the game. Like, he brings... a lot to them. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I think Debo coming back, putting him in the backfield,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: moving him around, he presents problems.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: But throughout these.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Weeks, I know we say the same thing over and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: over again, but it's about how we deal with things
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and how we play.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing we're focusing on.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
