• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, we got a lot to do today. So
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: where do you want to.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Start, John Boyle, yep, right after the.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Game, you brought up penalties on the first thing you mentioned.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You brought it up again on the radio day. How
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: do you address that issue to keep that from being
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: a problem?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Well, it is a problem, and we've got to do better.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We overcame a good part of the things that we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: did on both sides of the football, but it still
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: hindered us and kept us from getting all the points
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we could get. We missed touchdown opportunities to have to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: kick field goals and and so it's just it's something
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that we were dealing with. We just have to get
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to everybody's brain and make sure that everybody can make
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the right decision at the right time. We need to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: do a better job, and I need to do a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: better job of making sure I'm reaching them and making
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it happen. So we'll call for a recommitment today and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the guys you know, do their part to make the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: right choices and the right you know, use the right
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: techniques at the right time so we stay out of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: trouble and all of that. So, and it's on everybody.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Tim Uh, Pete, do you have any more of an
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: update on how Gino's doing from what you had this morning.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Just that it's gonna be a couple of days, you know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to make sure that we let him get back and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it quiets down and all that they know that they
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: know the extent of it that it isn't you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: there's no structural issue there, but he's you know, he's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: got a sore elbow this morning. So they're doing everything
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they can to work work through that and we'll see
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: how it goes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: And do you have a status on how ken Walker
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: is doing today?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: More so than just you know, they just confirmed that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he's got an oblique strain and uh, those are those
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: are the kind of strains that it takes some time
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. So we've got to see how
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: he does the next couple of days and see what
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that means. We don't know yet. Do you expect them
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to be able to play through I don't know that, Corbyn.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I know we've talked about the third down issues a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: lot and it's continued to be a problem. But third
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and fourth quarter, you guys are converting on less than
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: twenty one percent this year. What are you seeing as
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: being the biggest symptoms for that with this being a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: season long problem that continued yesterday.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and we started out so nicely, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: yesterday on offense we're clicking and looking good and the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: fourth down conversions added to it. Yeah, we have to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: continue to adapt as the game goes on to make
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: sure that we're making the plays that are available to us.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's that's the thrower, that's the catchers,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that's that's the calls. We know, we're going to make
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: sure we're making the right calls as we continue through
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the game. Seems like we're losing our momentum on third
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: downs for some reason, and so we just got to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: execute better and keep putting the ball in the guy's
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: hands that'll make the places for us.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Jim on the defensive side of thing, coach, a couple
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: of your players talked about needing to make better adjustments
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: in the second half as individuals, not scheme wise or
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: coaching wise. What do you want to see them do
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: and who do you want to lead that charge?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, we have to watch the flow of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the game because the game, the games in the last
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: few weeks have changed a little bit in the second half,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: teams have been frustrated by for one reason or another,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and they'll they'll push the ball up into the running game,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and we need to make that adaptation quicker. These guys
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in this week, you know, they ran the ball a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: little bit and played off the running game, use the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: nakeds and the and the play passes that came off
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of that, and in a time when they might have
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: been in a different mode earlier on. And so we
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: just have to adapt to it. And I know that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what they're talking about, because we didn't like the way
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that although we played the run well the last couple
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of weeks in this game again overall, but there was
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a portion in the game where they got enough rhythm
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and running and mixing their stuff. We needed to adapt
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: quicker to that and make sure that we don't give up,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know, some easy yards that we could otherwise, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: stop during the day. So we all feel like that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and we need you know, we were talking about it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: We're kind of getting in a pass rush mode thinking
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they're going to start throwing the ball, and we needed
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to adjust from that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Curtis, Yeah, Pete with with Ken's obleak issue, Uh, that
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: could present an opportunity for Kenny macintosh to actually be
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: up with you guys this week. What do you see
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: from him? How would you contrast him and styles to
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: what what Ken Walker brings to you and where he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: at right now if he's able to draw in for
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: you guys this week.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kenny mack is. He is ready to go. I've
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: been saying that to you guys that we just didn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity yet. Uh, this will present you know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he'll go right to the front with this thing and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he and Zach will be knocking
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it out with DJ until we know Kenny's back and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: so so, Uh Macintosh is ready to go, and he
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: needs to be ready to play. He's got really good
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: versatility in his in his throat, he's catching ability in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the throwing game. Uh, he's he's a scat back at
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: good quicks, good good change of direction, good movement and stuff.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You guys haven't had a real good chance to se him. Ye,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: but we're really excited about the prospects of getting getting
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: getting some shots here. So if that happens, that's that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you know, we we'll count of him to fill that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that rule for us.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Michael seanmald.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Hoping, you know, hoping these days, these next couple of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: days will really help him. He's really anxious to play
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: again and get back. It was killing him to not
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: be out there, you know, on Sunday. But hopefully these
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: added days here between the last game and this one,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we'll give him a chance to get out there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: Is it just a pain tolerance thing with him?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: It's just it's not pain, Thomsons. Just he wasn't able
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to move like he needs to.
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: Offensively, why do you guys, why do you think you
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: guys haven't been more consistent this season?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Which was what was the first part of that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: Why do you think offensively you guys haven't been more consistent?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: See, you know, Michael, if I knew that, I'd fix it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's it seems like we just have not stained and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like we had. I think we ran the ball sixteen
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: times in the first half, you know, and we ran
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: about five times in the second half, and it goes
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: right back to as we've seen all along. When we're
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: converting it changes everything. And so I hate this, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it seems like a freaking broken record about the third
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: down thing. But it seems to follow that, and I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: think we need to you know, we need to execute
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: better there so that we can mix our game the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: way we'd like to. That would get us back to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the kind of continuity that we want.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: And one last thing on Ken, would he be an
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: ir candidate with the oblique?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Not at this point, No, thanks, We need to learn more. Maddy.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Hello, I heard you speak about rhythm when it comes
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: to running the football more often. But there are certain
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: situations where the offense is passing far more than expected,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: say the third and one to two range, where you're
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: passing twelve percent more than expected by a certain data set.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: So is that a conscious philosophical choice or is that
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: just the way that the game's plaid out for the friends.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: No, it's just mixing, mixing, you know, based on the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: scheme that you're up against uh and and what they're
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: trying to do. You know, if teams are really trying
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to load it up on the running game, or teams
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: are playing a lot of really heavy maned man stuff,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it changes your thinking. So so we have to adapt
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to that as the opportunity arises. You know, I like
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to win him on third downstead of having to win
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: him on fourth downs. But uh, but that it's it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: just it fluctuates with the opponent.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Greg Well, Gina Smith.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Practice Tuesday or Wednesday, we're going to see you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: we're going to be on the field today, you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in a little bit here, so we'll see where we are.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't I think we'll really give him a chance
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to have like a Monday Tuesday kind of a break
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that guys normally get, and it would be the all
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the way till what day is it today, it'd be
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: all the way till Wednesday, likely before he does anything.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Are you on the field or is it a walk
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: through today or a practice?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know we're it's a practice, uh mode with
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the and walk through. Uh, you know, tempo we got
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to get we have a lot of this. This has
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to be a Wednesday and a little bit of Thursday today,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: you know, so that we'll combine that and the way that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: First drive yesterday, I mean that might have been your
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: sharpest drive of the year or the last couple of
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: years to be get a game.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Is that attributable to the script.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: And preparation going into the game, and then do things
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: change that defenses have changed after that? Rams case yesterday
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: that they just changed with how you had prepped in
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the now.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You know. Really we went down the field the next
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: couple of times too, you know, Gret, we were we
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: moved the ball well early, you know, and so the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: penalty screwed us up a little bit, just the rhythm
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of those when we missed our touchdown opportunities. But the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you know, it was it was a really nice start.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I thought We've had a number of nice opening drives,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you know, during the season, and that was one of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the one of the good ones. But I'm just disappointed
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that we're not able to sustain it because you can
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: see what we're capable of, and so we just got
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to find our The script has something to do with that,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you know, it always does the prep. The prep does.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: How many players do you script fifteen to twenty?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Ah, you know, it depends. Why is that a state secret?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Why would we want somebody to know when we're through
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with the script?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And then you touched on it yesterday. But what in particular,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: besides the physical trying to get back to a game
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: four days later, what's the biggest challenge for this particular
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: opponent San Francisco on four days rest.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: For you guys.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question. These guys. These guys are loaded.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You know, they when they're cooking like they have been
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Again, you know, they had
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: their three weeks where they took a dip, but when
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: they got back on track here in the last last
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, they looked like the team that was
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: playing earlier in the year, which means they're terrifically balanced.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: They have a defense that they can count on, they've
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: been really consistent, a really good pass rush, a bunch
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of guys on the on the on the second level
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that really make problems for you. But combining that with
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the team that does mix so well on offense, their
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: run pass mixes is really really good. They've been very
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: explosive both ends of that. Uh, and so it just
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: gives it gives you no way to to you know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to get away from there. The special aspect of this team,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's a really well balanced club. And so when
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they're on it, they're they're tough to move around on
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: defense and and they're hard to hard to slow down
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: because they mix really well. Uh. Purty's done a great
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: job with them with with the run pass game. He's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: been able to make the big plays, the guys that
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: made the big catches for him. You know, McCaffrey's having
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: such a good year and just an incredible force. He's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: right the centerpiece of everything that they're doing. And uh,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just just really really a difficult team
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to deal with. But teams have figured it out. You know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: they have found them out and they were able to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: get them and so we understand that. You know, they've
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: got three losses, We've got four losses. You know, this
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: is a huge opportunity for us.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Bob. Yeah, Bob, come on, Bob. Bob just went to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the lake.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Bob, are you there?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Can you hear me? See Bob
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Blake side over there? I can see you over there
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in the shore. Okay. Gino said after the game he
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't hit his ear pieces.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Tell that that kind of mouthfound sent on that on
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: that play before the act Sarbonate run.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Can you just I mean, did you figure is that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: what happened? Or did you kind of just in the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: in the in the you know, the hurry to get
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it done, The communication didn't come to to him, so
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: he just went ahead and made the call, and and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: so we were calling it, but we were talking to him.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But it just was it happened so quick, there was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: so little time there that as he was he was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: getting prepared for it, he realized he needed to take
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: over and make the call. So that's all I mean,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it was just that's what happens all the time he had.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He has the freedom, he has to do things on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: his own, sometimes in line with what we would normally think.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And that was that was a good call, good opportunity.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: We just didn't block it as well as we needed
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to to pop the ball like we wanted to.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Brady following up on that was the call from the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: sideline to spike it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: No, that's the only that's the only inside I'm giving you.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: No the rest of it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: And with with Gino and his elbow, is it realistic
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: to think that this could be pretty much settled down Thursday?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: He got hit on the back of his own it's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: surely his tricep Okay, the swelling does affect his elbow,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: but he got hit back here. It's not an elbow injury.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So it's just a matter of you know, how sorry
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he is and how and if we can maintain, you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: keeping the swelling down so that he has a freedom
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to throw. And he looked great when he went back
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: out there. He's he's more sore today than he was,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: but we got a couple of days. We really think
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that he's got a great chance to make it back.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: But if he does make it back, do you think
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: it's something that he's gonna have to deal with discomfort
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: for a while or is it reasonable to think that
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: he could it could be pretty much behind him by Thursday.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Well, anybody's has been like head, you're kicked in the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: thigh or something, you get a quad bruised. You know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like that. You know it's in his tricep.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: So it'll take a couple of days to see what happens.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: If you can't make it, then Drew's ready to go
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how that goes. But Drew will get
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of days of work while we'll hold Gino
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: back here until you know, Wednesday, and so it'll be good.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: He'll get prepped, Gina will be getting prepped. We we'll
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: be okay and ready to be able to make the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: decision if we have.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: To beg you Maddie, for the majority of the season,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: you've managed to defend the run world despite being in
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: that overfront structure for the vast majority of the snaps.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Did you expect that type of success from that kind
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: of simplicity going in And what does it say about
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: the work of your defensive coaching staff that you've been
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: able to accomplish that?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about to despite part of it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: You know, we we had intended, you know, to play
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of over defense this year, and we wanted
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to see when we got all of our guys out there,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: how we would match up, you know, proper to get
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: our guys on the field. So if you the references
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: between three four and four three, you know, this is
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: nothing that we didn't expect. It's worked out well for
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: uced for positioning our guys and playing the right guys
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: at the right spots and all that. Uh, but it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: has it. We have all. But there's a couple of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: games this year when we haven't played the run well.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: We've played consistently under four yards of carrier all year long,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you know, and so hopefully we can continue to do that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: This is a great test for us this week.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: How similar is this to your your past past exposure
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: to running over front in your vast defensive coaching career.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: It's it's not different really manically. It's it's the difference
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: is playing with nickel personnel, you know, and as opposed
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to playing with base personnel. And in four dbs we
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: got five dv's on the field, you know, a ton
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of time. But that's that's the only difference. And so
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: it really has there's been a tremendous carryover and we've
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: been we feel very consistent about it in the commitment
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to it, and it's worked out. Okay, Well, you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we're happy to being there. That doesn't mean that we
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: don't you know, we don't utilize the three four stuff.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: That's still part of it depends on the on the opponent.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Some teams play with you know, with different different makeups
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and it calls for a little bit of different format.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Michael Sean, I.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Gotta go, Pete.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: With all the moves you've made since you know, the
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: last time you played the forty nine ers, do you
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: feel like you guys stack up better with them than
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: you did in that playoff game?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I like where we are. I like where we are.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: What we've done with coverage wise and system wise. They
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this team really does check you out. They'll check out
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: your scheme, and so we give them a lot of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: credit and have a lot of respect for them. But
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're much farther along than we were.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, would you say coverage is the biggest jump in
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: that regard of somewhere else?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Man, it's the connection of it all. But we're much
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: cleaner coverage wise, and we're much more consistent at the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage than we were in our fits and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: all of that. We've cleaned it up and been you know,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: very demanding of how precise we need to be in it,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and it's it's worked out, you know, So we've had
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: pretty good results there, Thank you. Sure, Okay, right, last
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: one to that, Michael Sean.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Michael Sean asked to that has this been the target
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: all along? The standard You knew you had to get
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to San Francisco be better on the offensive defensive lines,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: and that was the target to get.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Out of the don't mind giving them credit for there's
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: balanced as anybody in football right now. You know they're
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: they're they're right there. You can't win twelve games in
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a row like they did, you know, and in factor
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs and all of that and bring it
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: back to the next season with that, you know, great
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: continuity and in a plan. I think Kyle's done a
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: fantastic job. And you know, I always have great respect
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: for for the guys that come out of his family
• 17:06

• 17:11
  Speaker 1: his game.

• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the team by coming back the.
