Thinks it's how frustrating is it to to see another game like this where you know the the mistakes and an opportunity to win and it gets away. Yeah, it's happened way too many times this year. And when it rains, it pours. Uh. It's very frustrating all around offense, defense, special teams at all year. We've been many have that many penalties. It's kind of a harbinger of loss. And that's good, but it's been this year and we need to kind of rally together and and uh and just
appreciate the the opportunity to go play this game. You've been over about how much you admire Dray Greenwall. How how hard has it been just these last couple of weeks to see him back but not be able to kind of go out and keep doing what we loves and giving This morning, Yeah, it felt for him today. He really wanted to play out the rest of this year. And he's an incredible player, and I think sometimes with him we need to protect him from himself because he'll
play through anything. And sometimes when you go through an injury like that and it's not ready, I think the best thing for him would be to take as slow as he can. Talked earlier about the penalty's and I realized this might be a tough question to ask in the heat after a game, but what have you sort of learned from this year about this team and the difference between the success of last year and the frustration
of this year. Learned that this league is very tough, and we've been in the highest of highs for a long time, and sometimes things don't go your way, and it's a lot of it is because of what we've done, obviously, but you just have to appreciate playing this game. I mean, I don't think I've played a game where we don't really have a chance in the playoffs, So it was it was a different feel, but it's always a blessing to be on the field and and be a part
of the Niners. Go ahead. Nick, you said last week that the next few weeks you'd get an idea of who really wanted to be here? Is that How pervasive is that feeling right now? It's very very evident that the guys who want to be here are gonna play really hard and continue to do that. And I think, I mean, I don't question anybody on this team, but We're definitely gonna be tested in the next couple of weeks. A brace on your knee? Is everything okay with that?
That mean no brace? Oh? The heating thing just a little sots. And you know you said sometimes you guys have to protect dre from himself. Do you are you in that category two? With your physical CONDI should do? Do you need a couple of weeks off? No? No, no, I'm good. The oblique has been brutal, but it's not something that is worrisome, So I'm I'm good to go. You had, uh, you have a tackle plossiting on a first snap, make so i'm I'm guess. I'm you have
positive vibes. Figure in the game is gonna go your way at that point. I've learned that you never could get too excited playing the right
