[12:30] ..." given -- believe it and making it you know harder for for 49ers to be able to run ball on second half. What you know what -- situations. You know became a factor."...

[0:00]" Both. To wake up here this morning and you know on the Bowman and I give work and and that the fans that the game back and forth cross country. I think we had a good you know good meeting today I think everybody's -- present positive after the after the game yesterday you know we get a lot of far from perfect but -- after the first quarter. A lot of things straightened out but it -- play and those are progressively better as the game went on and I was. That was definitely hurting now we're now looking forward you know moving on San Diego and we have an awful lot of respect for the burgers and what they do and -- we've played him with. Ball game and very very hardly fought and that and more. In San Diego Sunday night so to win and but it had to -- stand out here and -- at -- good productive week at Bay Area. And on Sunday night and -- San Diego. Coach. Logistically -- changed pretty dramatically this week in terms of what you tackle uncertainties and when you do it notably a normal week or just though we'll treated right now like at the home game. As we've really -- for the last I'd and we were given the same thing. We're in the same thing today that we would do on Monday on a home game. It'll be like that for the entire week and build Saturday when we have our normal Saturday. And then we'll travel on Saturday like we would travel on -- normal. That race track today. Bill. You talk livid about the three interceptions deep and yesterday each each of them were great individual plays but they also Kaman and on the -- true there were there are big plays in the game."

[1:46]" They followed that up there to a walker and I thought that -- and a real good play on the ball got batted away and you know fortunately I -- it came back on in his lap when playing on the back and you know -- tomorrow again on it on that second interception Rodney was. Got a good read on all of it and take a break on the ball and and I you know payment quit at a drop down and same thing you know broken up first -- kind of ricocheted up in the air and he's able to finish the play for the interception and then you know last play it was. Third down play on a crossing pattern where all the crap out of pocket and he's trying to. You know just make something happen on on -- on there and then went through Rodney hand but fortunately belt that was. Right there behind them. And I mean from field position standpoint would have been better for us to actually be. And intercepted it but I'll always good to see the ball enough on our hands at the end of the place so will they get."

[2:43]" what what will get that long after the -- somewhat early output affect opener by the things Europe and throughout the game."

[2:51]" Well of course it always helped. Four on on a big play I think that. You know -- that he found the respected and then opened up among other things. Not always possible but I think he always liked at least broke -- down there are a lot of -- you're thinking of it and we did that. Or try to do it someplace that went on -- field -- that didn't that we you know we can't compete at the design as we always do to try to. You know have to be sent them all three levels the short intermediate. And deep level but you know it that's great that at all all happen and one play like that and you know Matt and his job to step up in the pocket they. They had a free blitzer comin' from the from the back side. With. With brown you know coming off the corner and -- stepped up and put the ball right on the money and ran he ran through it. That they play for than. One that you always like if they always good it did happen it won't play."

[3:49]" They'll want the biggest difference. And you're third on deep and yesterday album under 112. One of nine and they've been an issue before and indeed -- do it became a bye week. Intend to change your approach to personnel that was up there yesterday that it worked up for him."

[4:04]" Well we. Again yesterday's game we use some. Both different combinations that are -- bounces. Some form and line some three man line and command line. On a practical -- one -- at the line and out there Jarvis or migrate so. But that was rob probably more of a a game plane thing that that by week thing. The opposite basically we felt like we would. Want to run this week against San Francisco and you know guys pretty good job although we had several players that. I really stepped up and some of those passing situations slot on third down on the fumble that was kind of two minute there in the fourth quarter. Will not -- and Wheatley. Gary guidance. Pierre Woods Jarvis. So we've we've had a number of those guys. You know come in and Meriweather and and play well unhappy situations and be productive for us so. You know bottom line was we were able to -- combination of things one get ahead in the game. Do. Do decent job against the running game and those two factors. Help. Push it more passing game and form one dimensional game so real only dependent one thing and at that helped us on third down and and health has been. Really -- fourth quarter two minute kind of situations."

[5:27]" Coach and he's thinking that Matt give up a little more a progression when the chemistry with his receivers that particularly Randy."

[5:36]" Orwell but I think that through the -- for the year you know every everything develop a little bit. You know I hope everything we're doing that talent better than a -- a month ago and I hope everything we're doing a month ago better than it was."

[5:50]" You know back in August so. Yeah I think there's a natural progression there but at the same time that worked hard and and so that everybody in the passing game -- but the line and the bat act -- tight ends or receivers. You know and and we try to work hard and get. Get things runners efficiently and and -- able to execute things -- would possibly can and certainly haven't yesterday's practice over the bye week didn't hurt any. But. You know the same time they're a lot of good good plays out there yesterday that we're just good throws good catches. Good execution good distribution of the pattern and and we're able you know make -- out plays and convert on third down that. You know we beating again the week before or you know -- organs Miami but it just. You know keep that they keep the offense on the field then and convert those third down and -- to be sent off the field and you know when that time possession and field position battle."

[6:50]" Also I."

[6:52]" Would it be any update on LaMont today."

[6:57]" And he did -- came -- got treatment -- I look -- the ideas later in the week you know we didn't practice today we won't practice tomorrow though. You know everybody that kind of walking around today we'll we'll see where everybody that when we go out there -- actually you know get get on the practice field later in the week. Body looked like pretty quick --"

[7:16]" Okay it's not about the job that -- he did yesterday with a three elbow especially at 49 yarder that that would need to take that would keep checked."

[7:25]" I would be used you know -- six point lead -- two score game and and I was that you -- looked like that would have been good from a lot more than forty not a bit these are kicking the ball very well. In all situations picked off then and although you lost a point situations and penalties Vietnam. Straight but also with good elevation and good get off time than and a good hang time on the kickoff -- Think he's really really done a good job of just about you know every every opportunity he's had here in. You know past. Four game. That he he's been out and it really -- Offensively in third quality and we need to gain. You know the yard to get the ball field goal range and not on Matt made a good decision there we had. Three level pattern go and then he hit Gaffney in the it kind of in the middle of the tree and then. Department and I think Raanan and had good awareness. I don't know. You know we need a few more yards to really you know secure that field goal and my -- here -- get under fifty yards. You feel like you know -- at least you're going to be able to ticket you know those 5560. Murders on the don't know what they're going to try those -- not so. Tomorrow the president to get those extra six to seven yards and that big situation play force Duke and he came through the Qichen you know made it all worked out. Do you -- you talk about the Eagles running back situation you see using all -- more so more often. And and Maroney you know whether running back sweep. An offensive game plan those you know those changes and fluctuate a little bit week to week. -- probably in the game though depended on how we have our personnel groups for a particular game more. The situations that come up they could be in a different players do in the same thing are different players different. Different things on on a weekly basis so. Would it take that. Had to come in -- we get a beat San Diego wolf. Will try to set -- the best combinations that we feel like. You know will give -- the advantage against the Chargers and then. You know we'll be out goes the week after that that this really it's kind of you know the game plan thing week to week -- how those. So those different things mesh together. I thought that the backs ran well yesterday and the line blocked well we had you know good thought they run the ball and that was that was encouraging all the way around. But you know I I just -- all that up you know -- you -- it you know you're told me or. Probably anybody had thought well Kevin -- role in yesterday's game was going to be -- scored two touchdowns from inside the five yard line. I don't think that's probably what anybody would have envisioned. Happening in the game but that's -- it turned out so. You know you never really know how all how those opportunities are going to come up or other situations -- going to break or. You know what what personnel groupings will be happen to have them there and in certain situations so. It's really more of you know players being ready and and being able. Capitalize and take advantage of the opportunities they get in and our overall ability to execute offensively. In different different situations -- but he just never know which one the one that those are going to come up. Just try to prepare for a man and then executed when when that time come. You think you're getting everything you should be getting for Maroney at this stage of his career -- has -- good job for -- and I think he's he's -- good back and you know he's he's played well ought to go continue to play well here -- They'll have you pleased that the -- that deep that the staff and the players were. Eliminate -- in game adjustments yesterday and let it happen again I am well I think each you know each game it's own. As I've said many times the donut in division don't -- and I don't think one game. Necessarily had any carry over over effect on another one though. You know this is. Separatists goes -- game what. Good coach smart that. Present a lot of challenges -- Al central and I thought our players indeed at this stat that -- for the job of good preparing for. The ball and then and the scheme in these players and you know for the most part they're pretty good job defendant at what -- perfect -- better. But. You know we've we've made our share plays and I thought there are a lot of things that we defended pretty well so. You know everybody gets credit for that coaches they're good job and certainly -- the -- that up to go out there and and execute the plays and they did a good job that I yesterday you know start with stopping the running game and and that made him more 1 dimensional game and the offense certainly helped that Duke by. I get ahead and and given -- believe it and making it you know harder for for 49ers to be able to run ball on second half. What you know what -- situations. You know became a factor."
