they land you're going up against some pretty good offensive tackles this week and you've faced aosa before so what do you think about that matchup um that one in particular both I think uh I well yeah I think both of them I think they're one of the better tandems of of tackles in the league and they have a very good run game which helps them out so um it'll be fun we've had some battles before and I think uh they're probably better now and I'm better now so see how it goes Nick you say that you're better now have you kind of focused in on one thing in particular coming into this season that you wanted to work on or improve yeah I really have um I don't want to talk about it too much but uh it'll come up on tape and it already has so um I think I'm a lot more balanced between my different rushes and I think it's opening up some things and I was happy with the other night once we started to get some Ops later in the game how it it's going but a lot to improve on and uh I'm just excited to have another out not to dig too deeply but meaning your your past frush moves you're using a greater variety a more equal percentage of the time yes Nick what did you think of the first game with planard on the other side it was awesome he was winning a lot um causing a lot of Havoc he had a couple good plays in The Run um but this week I think we're playing a better um honestly a better team that's uh they're playing better football it looks like and uh they run run the ball well and um we're going to have to be better in our our techniques we kind of got away with some things last week so uh so yeah we have to hone in and not not Pat ourselves on the back what kind of challenge does s present now that you're in facing um I haven't watched too much on him he's Stout he could run a little bit uh I mean since he's been here uh I know how how his arm strength is and how he's a good processor of information and could get the ball out so um it'll it'll be the same formula try and make them onedimensional and then go from there specifically Dar what's made him what makes him such a tough tackle I think he's got a low Center gravity um he's athletic um so it's tough to power him and then um he's he's athletic enough to run you by and and if you get his hands he kind of is able to replace him run you by somebody like Leonard he's got such a good high motor that does that you see that kind of carry over to the to the rest of the room when you're playing next to the guy that's given that kind of effort every play yeah I think our effort was pretty darn good uh against the Jets even from first play on sometimes it takes a little uh little time early in the season cuz game speed is different and that game wind is different um but I think we're flying around and and uh Floyd's no exception Aaron held the ball less amount the least amount at any quarterback in the league last week 2.33 seconds for how do you as a pass rusher who wants to get those sacks how do you view that I mean there's obviously a positive that comes with that from the overall defense but how do you view that yeah I mean it's it's tough we kind of expected it though um and then they they pulled them late which was kind of surprising but uh I think we were we were causing some pressure um we weren't on the field much um and then you're going three and out and he's getting the ball out so it gets a little tough to keep your mind in it but there was some Ops at the end there and uh we're just going to have I mean games it's good football it's Niner football that's the type of games we have when we don't have a lot of Ops but we have to go get them at the end so we have to keep our mind in it kind saying the other night that uh when he came after missing all the camp he was he said I can't couldn't believe how laser focused everybody was nobody was there was no joking around everybody was serious he was like really impressed did have you had that feeling all along through camp and did you see feel that going into the game yeah it's funny cuz when I came in last year was I was talking to Trent about how it's like high fives and hugs right when you walk in and then everybody's like all right we've been here we're working and then you're like all right it's it's work it's football and that's just how it is here and um that's why we were able to have a good team year in and year out Nick what kind of Pride do you've taken the fact that you were beating the Jets so bad they took out Aaron Rogers um like I said we're not patting ourselves on the back it's one game and um we don't know how good we are yet and we don't know how good other teams are so we just have to keep getting better you ever had a backward bull rush like you had last game that was a failed move um but I'll take it I get a little pressure on him so after the game what were you and Patrick Willis kind of talking about if you can share that yeah he was just asking me um about some of my past rush plan and and I was just uh elaborating and we're kind of going back and forth as far as Road environments Minnesota's got a a pretty unique fan base do you enjoy playing there in Minnesota that Stadium the fans all that it's a long flight and it's field Turf but it is one of the cooler environments I can't lie about that thanks Nick
