 kind of a comeback. Niners had been 18 and 0 under Shanahan when leading by 10 or more points at the half. You know we're gonna bleed you know I mean there's times where we're gonna bleed we talked to him about the beginning of the game you got to be willing to take some shots and be willing to bleed and be willing to taste it and be able to come back swinging and that's why you know it's an honor to coach this football team. It's not always perfect took care of the football complimentary football defense played great in the second half everybody played great in the second half we just did just enough you know that the the interception by rabbit was was critical you know we were we were running out of steam there we were flatlining and he made a huge play for us. What did you say to the guys at halftime you know put them to come out and be able to have the type of drive they did? That's on them and those you know special words you know just other than saying you know we're close you know we're close and you know defense got to get some turnovers and we did you know they dropped an interception we're trying to hammer a football and it bounced back in their hands or whatever it may be and you know quarterback they said he was in the grasp and but you know just keep doing the things we were doing and and had a you know had a breakthrough and that was it's complimentary it was huge. We expect those things from AJ you know but the guys Aaron Brewer Dylan Radins you know this is you know that's special and to be able to see guys that you know walking up the ramp after the game and Dylan just being excited that he did some things to help this team win and and they battled and Deontay and our runners and all those guys but you know we had six conversions of the third and ten or more you know unfortunately that's that's a lot of our own doing to get in that position but you know we can eliminate some of the mistakes you know early on in offense we can we can still do some things thought the staff did a great job as well it was it starts with Todd you know getting them on the ball you know and then Ryan executing it and then obviously everybody else executing and that's something that you know we maybe not having taken advantage of here Ben snapped it nobody moved and AJ went up made a play Dylan Dylan was the Dylan was gonna you know he was gonna be the swing tackle for this game that's how he prepared all the week the entire week you know and then when we got the news and you know told him it was a quick conversation he had a big smile on his face and he's excited and it was cool having first and 22nd and 12 you know some of those things penalties you know probably were a little better we protected them there were times where you know the pocket came in on them but you know it felt like we did a good job of protecting them I thought the offensive the scheme was good and it was well executed it was something that I think kept them off balance a little bit was able to allow us this extra time and you know Ryan found some guys in the middle of field on those third and longs and then you know catch and run with with FERC and then was able to find AJ I just trying to go through my head all those situations you know I mean it's just like you know sit there and figure out we going over time or you know we're going going to win yeah it's just they played better you know we made some adjustments it's a good scheme they got you know good scheme but they got really good players and you know the skill players are really good and a lot of moving parts and just really really good second half performance I know that you know it would have been dominating had had we not given up you know the long one unfortunate but hey hold that team to 17 points I think it's doing good work we said we had to get some turnovers we weren't able to run it 40 times and but we held them 17 points or less I guess that's probably on everybody to a little bit here I thought the scheme was good I thought the players executed it well you know being able to add extra guys into the protection and then you know receivers allowing them to get down there and get the spots where they were in zones and you know thought Ryan really looked sharp on that first one he ripped it in there to Nick so that was early you know I thought that was a good adjustment switching up and and going to some man they're on early downs and it and it paid off with shoes that work and you know what happens is it's warm during the day gets cold at night and the field gets slick so I've never blamed the field like we know what the field is going to be like last weekend's dealers you had excuse me there was some turnovers question down what do you want to talk about but how important to take advantage of the turnover score touchdown also yeah the complimentary football right we got a turnover score to touch now I got a fourth down stop and we took care of the ball you know and that's that's what it comes down to we can we can say that everything's broke and this guy sucks and you know fire to coach because that's the easy answer right the hard answer is is getting in there and coaching and teaching and getting guys to understand what's going on making sure they know what to do so they can go out there and play play aggressive and physical and take care of the guy with the football and you know weren't able to run the football as well as we had been in the past but a lot of that just is you know product of not getting in the drives and not being able to wear on a little bit we just too quick of a drive earlier in the game and then you know third down conversions were huge and then being being really good in the red zone we ran it in you said how you you know expect these things from AJ but for him to respond like that in his first game back what does that maybe say about how he prepared himself well it worked hard I mean worked hard with Todd and Frank you know again everybody else that wants to fire the conditioning coach and a trainer because guys get hurt they're also responsible for getting guys ready and to come back but it's on AJ I mean he's we understand how important he is to our football team you know love them as a person and you know glad to have him back How different is this team on third down with AJ and Alana and I asked that because he had eight reception on third down that's the most in the last 30 seasons quarterbacks to other guys that they trust and the guys that are open and played played you know when it was only sat down in zone and when it was man he was able to create some separation try not to panic try to make sure that everybody's prepared and ready to go when they come in there at the beginning of the week it's the same thing you know maybe you come in there you show up and Monday everybody you know a short week especially guys you come to this meeting you better be prepared as you work your way through the next couple days here to play in the game because anything could happen you know guys may not be able to recover from whatever they had after this game on Sunday or you know in our case having a couple guys that that ended up being put on the you know the COVID IR and I try not to panic and so that the coaches don't panic and then the players don't panic you're just excited for guys that go out to practice early that that work with with with Sully you know before practice and after practice you see a great attitude a lot of consistency you know each and every day I feel like he's the same person he's kind of there he shows up engaged in the meetings and continue to work to see a team adjust the way they do get their composure and win this is about as satisfying as they went and gets as a head coach they're all amazing but I think under the circumstances of a short week being down being down some bodies you know against a really good football team you know I mean we'll we'll figure out where where everybody has us after this week you know I mean we were with a funeral for the Titans you know was yesterday or today but but we're not dead yet you know we'll come back and we'll play I guess the Dolphins next right that's who we got in 10 days this weekend's going to feel really good I'm happy that our players can rest and recover after getting a victory Merry Christmas guys
