Like, man, you know, you know what you you hear about the Niners and Cowboys robbery has been going on all the way back since to the seventies, Like it has been a long time rivalry, and uh, you know, lots of championships have been one on both sides a law, so you know, it's just just kind of like another one in the in the books right now. I'm looking on as think like hips from guys expensive and it's
kind of what they added to you guys. Yeah, No, they've come up huge, and you know, guys who maybe didn't think they were gonna have a huge role in our in our on our team, you know, I've had to play big minutes and meaningful minutes. Uh you know, and that's every year you need you need your young guys to be abready and and available whenever their number is called. And guys who stepped up big on course
this year. I was saying that sometimes in team meetings, all chirp and some of the guys and see if they go back and forth with them. Can you kind of expand on what goes down in these team meetings. Yeah, I mean that's a lot of the time on our
our team meeting the night before the game. He kind of gets after Boast a little bit, trying to get him going the night before, Um, I think today, so you might have took a little shot at our defense saying that the Cowboys defense might be playing better than us or something. So of course I took that to heart. But you know, he's always just trying to find ways to kind of bring bring the best out of us.
Do you sit there and take it or do you bring the passion back right to you know, as a player, you gotta sit there and take it, you know, and then you give it back to him by going out there and proved him wrong obviously. And that's what Bosa did, right, And it was that the Miami game I forgot, which something like that, Yeah, where he's like, don't they'll never talk about me hi again, or something like yeah, it's
just all funny games. Speaking speaking of Boast, that he's so montone, he's so laid back out there, and that's that's why the shrug is so perfect. Does he ever get hyped out there? Is he just you know, does he do the hype with the with the zacking? I think he gets most hype for Me's obviously get a sack. That's uh. But no, I mean he's he's just obviously I everybody's their own person, you know, and that's who he is. He's just kind of even keeled throughout the game.
And like you mentioned that, the UG is probably the birth the perfect celebration for him, you know, because that's who he is. Well, he got hurt against Dallas Sausage. Did you go into the locker room? Were you there with botha watching end of the game. No, I actually went back out on the field. Yeah, I was hoping I maybe get a chance to go back in, but I just knew I wasn't gonna get my team the best chance to when I knew Drein and Seas would
be the best two out there. I've broke out of the gate with some real big blazer earlier in the year, and then he sustained it enough to be in All Pro and a pro bowlder. And is that something you saw coming? Did you at the end of last year? Did you say, all right, this guy? Yeah, I don't. I don't know if anybody could have predicted the year he's gonna have this year. I think obviously you saw flashes and you saw how great a player he was
last year in the moments that he wasn't there. But to say that he's gonna be in his second year the first team All Pro Pro Bowl, uh at safety, I mean he's way surpass there everybody's expectations. He's done an amazing job, and um, we're gonna need him to continue to do well. Really, a handful of times I've
talked to him, he was so self critical. Is that something you find you have to I don't know, lift him up a little at Winster holes or is it just that just the way he operates, That's just the way he operates. And there obviously is is a fine line there between being too self critical and like you know, and and and suffering confidence wise. But I don't I don't feel that's the case with him. I think he's right where he needs to be. The humility is there. I think that's why he is one of the best
at his position, if not the best. I mean, because he is he's humble enough to look at look in the mirror, see what can I approve upon and be better at it. But obviously, when you weren't around, when this rivalry with Dallas, you know, initially ignited. But what's kind of your understanding of the historical significance and how much do you guys think about that and talk about that is you're getting ready to face them, Yeah, I mean it is something that has been a part of
the history, right. I think right now it's not as applicable, I would say, because it's it's such a different time now and there, I mean, there's not too much of like this bad blood between both teams. I think, you know, things might be said here and there, which is football, and that's just competitive the competitive nature of of people. But um, at the end of the day, when when when Sunday comes, it's going to be about two great football teams playing against each other and who's gonna play
the best? Um, this is just checking a year as defensive coordinator? What what areas do you think that he and in the defense has really improved in the second year within the correa? Um just overall just really everybody owning the swarm mentality. Um. You know, I obviously Solid brought like the all gasm Brakes thing when he was when he was a d C and then Domico adopting
the swarm. Uh, and I think just as in the second year, just really honing in on the details of being able to play faster to everybody, to be of clear be able to clear mind, and be able. That's why you see like the speed in the the overwhelming nature of how we play is because guys are literally, um, there's no gray area. Guys are playing fast. Guys are
are being physical and hunt to the ball. Can you feel that in the in the headset when he's communicating with you, Um, Johnny harm was saying that he feels like Tomko with one if a hand everything this year. Yeah, No, absolutely, I kind of agree more. I think it's uh, it's pretty cool hearing him and sometimes he'll he'll be telling me like this is a run or like they're they're they're they're doing this on this play depending on the
down a distance of the personnel grouping formations. Um, you can tell that he's obviously very dout in during the week with his preparation and knowing exactly what the office is gonna run. It seems like it makes you guys the aggressiors instead of reactors. Yeah, you guys have faced kittled during the week. You faced Waller, you faced Travis Kelsey where just Shultz foller this and what's his chowel? Yeah, I think guys kind of sleep on him a little bit.
I think he's right up there obviously with some of the best right now with the way he's playing. UM, I think I think the reason are people just kind of are sleeping on him, and that's what allows him to kind of be in a position to make more plays and be open. Um. You know, he's he's he's just kind of sneaky, fast, slippery. He's able to play the ball in the air really well. UM. It's obviously a bigger body to be able to box guys out, so he's kind of like a tweener between tight end
and receiver. Because of the way they use him, pollered a lot more this year, Puts how does that change what they do? And they're gonna get your attorney. UM. Very very explosive, fast, powerful back even even regardless of his size, you know, the size the side. I think the way that he plays, the style that he plays with UM has been really impressive to watch this season and that's why he was obviously elected to the Pro Bowls because of the way he's UM. You know, it
really came. I mean, he's always been a great player, but this year really like owning that offense and owning um his opportunities when he does have the ball in his hands and having the ability to to break one free it for an eight yard or you know, if if, if you can. You've just mentioned you guys haven't played tons of mobile quarterbacks and stood him. He was able to do some damage against You love some room for improvement on the dash half Michael Vick, but only can
move around with it. Is that point of emphasis, like, I don't know, whatever you think maybe hasn't been pinned down and make sure that Yeah, absolutely, I think that's something that's been a point emphasis up front and in that D line room has been extra extra discipline in your rush lanes this week and in the back end.
We always talk about plaster rules of guys looking guys up in the back in the uh yeah, in the back end, just making sure we're on top of our um our coverage assignments for when he does break out. I knew you don't match up very much with him in practice. Trent will games Is, I've talked like thirty people. No one's been able to find a single flaw in
his game. No one knows how to beat him. What makes Trent and great in your eyes, just a freak athlete like I mean he has the feet of a ball arena, but then the upper body and strength of like literally a gorilla. Like he just been able to do it all. The savvy of the moves he does, I mean, he's he's for sure the best, easily. Salvalreta
