To the last three games. You guys have a lot of touchdown. What's changed for the defense after nine? You know, I speak about I always talk about it. I think just getting back to playing our style. I guess ever since we got Chase Young and things kind of flipped around, adn't they. But it's it's a combination of things. I mean, just us playing together as a unit. You know, the rush and the coverage. Winning on third down is being crucial for us. You see today, I think they were
like one for nine on third down. That's winning football all day long. So we got to keep it going. There's there's still room for improvement out there. I feel like we really could have snuffed them out. But I'll take I'll take what we did. It seems like you guys have talked all year that the sacks well come eventually at the fifteen over the over the last three games. What are you seeing from the pass rushing right now? Where it seems like you've got splitting a lot of sacks.
You got a lot of you know, two guys, what's working right there now? Yeah, I mean I spoke with the back end, you know, I feel like all the back seven, I feel like as long as we are on top of our job in the back the D line, and they're so talented up front, so relentless, as long as we're sticking our covers like they're gonna go out They're gonna go out there, they're gonna eat every time.
So kind of spend an extra time going over the route concept, especially on third down and working in working in unison Russian coverage. I think that's why you see the results. Can the pass rushes rolling like it is right now, like as the game is going on, absolutely, you know, it speeds up the quarterbacks clock speeds up all of our clock, you know, especially when his zone coverage, uh, playing with what you know, eyes on the quarterback, we
can break a little quicker, right, pretty coverage money. Who's traveling with DK? Sitting here watching that batch up? H, I mean, can you speak to kind of that batch up and how he's you know, obviously advantage hung with them very well. Yeah. I mean that's like what back to back seasons where we've asked him, you know, a a tall ask to to follow DK being uh one of the biggest, most physical receivers in the game, and uh seeing him multiple times a year asking Mooney to
to author and stop them. Uh you know, every time I look up the balls being thrown down the field and Mooney or Ambri anybody who's in coverage on them being in position and then phase to make a play on the football. I mean, that's that's awesome. We were gonna need that all season long. Was like, yeah, well, it wasn't too bad. It wasn't too bad at all. That was That was a moment I remember forever. It's something you've thought about. You love to do that absolutely.
I mean, going into this game, obviously wanted us to win, because you don't get to eat turkey if you if you lose on their field. So what's that like? Having Demo in the slot or he's looked like he's really get into that position. It's been awesome. Demo, one of the best football players we have on this team, in
my opinion, doesn't get talked about enough. I think the things that we ask him to do weekend and week out, the fact that he's able to play outside corner and nickel, and the humility to even do that, you know what I'm saying, Like, he's, like I said, one of the best players we have and I love taking a field with him. He's just got a note for the football physical can cover really well. She's been doing awesome for us. Fred Kyle said he's gonna start looking into the Eagles.
Uh on Monday. Obviously you're gonna take a couple of days. But given the s future seating implications of that name, when do you plan to start looking into that one? Yeah? I think when. Uh, I'd probably the same as our our head coach. Uh. Well, we'll uh, we'll enjoy this one. But yeah, obviously a big game coming up. Haven't really thought about it cause we had to take care of business here, but we'll we'll be ready when that time comes.
A couple more for Fred for this is it. We're here for most of the misery of the Niners in Seattle. Uh so there was a lot. Uh and uh this was the group most longside of the whin brother Doners and Sales. It's eeda in Viginio, Is that right? Yeah? Just give me a history with in the rivalry year? Is that particularly sweet to do it? You know? Ever? What might Antena? Ever? I mean a when against that team there, they play so hard every single time we
play them. A win regardless of the score. I feel like it's it's really big for us, and it's in the division, on the road in a big time situation. I mean, I'm I'm so proud of our team competed. Let's little mention them a little bit in the third quarter. I mean, was there a moment on the sideline where you said, Okay, let's just uh kind of stabilize this and they do what we can do. Yeah, no panic,
no panic at all. I feel like the things that they were getting it was it was self inflicted, you know. Uh we we just had to get back to to our you know, playing our technique and fundamentals make them earn everything. And uh, I think, like I said earlier, winning on third down with cruisal for us on defense than now
