Towards the tip, on that final possession, Taylor, he bought harm, so I used to be afraid that we have been all the way down to our final one with Isaac, particularly when get bought that lengthy one, it was sensible of him to offer that landing to Juice.

On the problem:
By Hamp (Brian Hampton) as a result of he mentioned you could possibly inform by how the man’s hand moved that the ball hit him and that’s all he noticed. However he can one hundred pc see the ball, however he mentioned you could possibly inform how the hand moved and with it being Thursday Evening Soccer, I believed for certain they’d have a bunch of digital camera angles.
We’ve been speaking about how these two losses are a reminder of how the NFL works, and I believe we bought a bit of spoiled in that method, simply human nature of typically feeling too relaxed. And you’ll by no means really feel too relaxed.
On Guerendo’s slide on the finish:
I don’t assume he slid, and that’s what he’s claiming. I believe 21’s a quick participant and he bought him a bit of bit there, then I believe I’ll see it. You guys noticed it, but it surely ended up figuring out higher for us.
On particular groups and the Seahawks’ return TD:
I believed particular groups made some performs immediately. They bought a fumble for us, an enormous restoration. … Final week, they scored a landing with a blocked kick return for a landing. I believed we didn’t have an important kickoff and from what I noticed reside, we had an unblocked man who missed a sort out and so they hit a lane so we bought to get higher at tackling.
Deebo Samuel

I actually wasn’t even wanting on the security. At first, you already know, I sort of needed to pretend block the skin linebacker and he fell off, after which I see the ball within the air and as soon as the ball is within the air, we’re at all times taught to assault it.
On whether or not this recreation was extra their fashion:
We really feel like each recreation is our recreation if we don’t flip the ball over, like if we don’t beat ourselves, you already know it’s sort of onerous to offer a recreation away. I really feel like if we don’t flip the ball over and handle the clock like we usually do and run the ball nicely and hit passes right here and there, I really feel like we’re fairly good.

We clearly need to convey a excessive sense of urgency each recreation, however when your backs are towards the wall, it sort of brings it out of you and I’m simply glad when the momentum swung there, we caught with it. And that was sort of the message all week. We bought the win.
On hanging in because the Seahawks counterpunched:
We simply talked about good or unhealthy, preserve that very same even-keel, next-play mentality and it was essential to try this.
On the secondary:
I believe our again finish in all probability had considered one of their finest video games, and we would have liked it.
On having a while off and dealing with the Chiefs subsequent:
This was a giant one to get and now now we have a bit of time to get some guys wholesome. We’ve bought an extended street forward and it begins with the group that we haven’t beat but since I’ve been right here. So undoubtedly making an attempt to get the monkey off our again with that one.
On shut requires sacks:
It’s a ending enterprise, particularly while you’re me and also you’re anticipated to complete. There was a pair shut ones there the place it was virtually ball out, recreation over. I simply bought to maintain going.

It’s nonetheless early, Week 6. So we are able to nonetheless proper his ship with out having to string off 9 straight wins. Right now was vital, you already know, each little bit of a must-win with out technically being a must-win.
On Guerendo’s run:
We’ve all been ready to see IG sort of flip it unfastened. We all know he’s a blazer. Reminds us a variety of Raheem Mostert. So considering Bobby T mentioned he’s an eyelash slower however I do know the child can run. He mentioned he was happening on goal, so we’ll give him that.
On the o-line:
We’re just about the identical group outdoors of Puni, however Puni performs like he’s been right here just a few years so we bought fortunate with that. However we’re jelling. So long as we are able to preserve Brock upright, he’s going to carve the protection up. So long as we are able to get the operating backs to the road of scrimmage clear, they’re gonna fall ahead, they’re gonna get yards.
On rematch with the Chiefs:
It’s not like we are able to get payback for shedding within the Tremendous Bowl. That ship has sailed. So it’s one other recreation. We bought to come back ut and play complementary soccer. We all know what kind of them that’s, among the finest groups within the league.
Brock Purdy
On dealing with Mike Macdonald’s protection once more after Christmas loss to Ravens:
I simply tried to maintain it easy and clearly test the ball down after I wanted to and hit my No. 1 or No. 2 in my development as effectively as I might and I simply stored it easy. Final 12 months in that recreation, I really feel like I simply bought out of rhythm and I used to be making an attempt to drive stuff.
I noticed him have leverage on the skin and I simply wanted to offer him some house. He did an important job of breaking down and being on the proper depth and the landmark, and he’s actually good at that. So for me, it’s simply trusting and laying it on the sideline, realizing that my man can go get it and the truth that he stored his two ft in was loopy. … Each touchdowns have been only a belief issue.
On the rookies:
For these guys to point out up on Thursday evening, a primetime recreation like that , it means so much to all of us as a group.

Actually comfortable for them, comfortable for our group discovering a strategy to win.
On if the shaky second half began feeling acquainted:
1,000 %. Yeah, it sucks, however yeah, it was one thing that felt acquainted for certain. I’m like, ‘Hey, we can go one of two ways right here. We can stand tall in a hostile environment in the game that we know that we got to get, or we can settle for exactly how we’ve been doing, how we’ve been enjoying the final couple weeks or the final couple losses we’ve had.’ And that’s what I’m in all probability most proud about proper now could be the way in which we stood up.
On Mustapha’s interception.
Malik bought his interception and he ran proper out of bounds and I’m like ‘What are we doing? So you gotta learn.”
On D.K. Metcalf:
We made his life hard for for most of the game and I know he got some on us, but we got more.
George Kittle
On the back-and-forth nature:
I think all that does is reiterate that winning in the NFL is really difficult.
On Guerendo’s closing run:
I used to be simply actually pumped that Coach Shanahan dedicated to our outdoors run. It wasn’t fairly your entire day however after they lastly gave us a glance that we’ve been practising your entire week, we executed.
On sharing the boldness of expertise.
Coach Shanahan has been right here for eight years. We’ve had a variety of guys who’ve been right here for 4 years-plus. We’ve been in a variety of large video games.
