00:00 - Did you go through the touchdown?
00:01 It looked like it was gonna be screened, but...
00:03 - It was like a, we've been running a lot of bubbles all day.
00:07 Just like a big bubble, for real.
00:08 Faking a bubble and then getting it out of there.
00:11 - T just said that you had planned to do a backflip.
00:16 How many times have you done that in your life?
00:18 - I did gymnastics when I was eight,
00:20 about eight to 12.
00:22 So I was in it for a little minute
00:24 and then I stopped over time.
00:25 - Is that the first time you've done a backflip
00:27 after a touchdown? - In a long time.
00:28 And in equipment, so it's...
00:31 - Is that why you can get up off the ground
00:33 without your hands? - I, yo.
00:36 I think I got pretty high, I seen a video.
00:38 I haven't did a backflip in probably like three years.
00:40 - You didn't even practice that one time before you did it?
00:42 - Two years. - Why?
00:43 - Nah, why would I practice a backflip?
00:45 - Make sure you're not gonna screw it up.
00:46 - Well, what if I get hurt trying to practice a backflip?
00:48 - What if you get hurt doing it out there?
00:50 - Well shit, I'd rather do it in a game than practice.
00:51 (laughing)
00:54 - Why did you think the offense was able
00:57 to be so productive from start to finish today?
01:00 - I wanna say we executed the best way we could,
01:05 took advantage of the opportunities
01:06 that the defense gave us,
01:07 and the receivers were all on the same page today.
01:10 - We see a lot of great Joe games.
01:12 Where does this one rank?
01:14 Before he hit 20 to 32, I mean, he ran the ball,
01:16 he did everything.
01:17 - Yeah, I can't even tell he was playing that good.
01:19 You know, when you're out there just playing football,
01:21 you're just having fun.
01:22 You know, that's something that he always used to say
01:24 and that stuck with me.
01:24 You know, when you win it, you're having the most fun,
01:26 you don't realize what you're doing.
01:28 But, you know, overall, he's just being himself.
01:30 You know, like I said, like I told him earlier,
01:32 I was like, welcome back, bro, on the field,
01:34 seeing him run like that.
01:35 So it's just, it's a blessing seeing him
01:37 play his football again and have fun, man.
01:39 - Does it feel like who you guys were supposed to be
01:41 from the jump this season today?
01:43 - I mean, yeah, this is who we are.
01:45 I mean, at the end of the day, we know who we are.
01:47 And I mean, we always had this bump in the road,
01:49 but you know, it's adversity, we gotta face it and fix it.
01:51 - We asked you a lot about why the offense
01:53 kind of hadn't been clicking for most of the year.
01:54 We talked about the 49ers being one of the best defenses
01:56 in the league for y'all to kind of play this well
01:59 offensively, given all of that.
02:00 I mean, what does that mean for y'all?
02:02 - It just shows where we really are.
02:04 You know, it shows who we really are at the same time.
02:07 Like I said, man, we having fun while we winning.
02:09 So that's a good thing about it.
02:10 - Three and O since you said you were always F'ing open.
02:13 - I'm gonna let that keep going.
02:15 I ain't gonna say nothing no more about that.
02:17 - How do you avoid, you know, it was the Arizona game.
02:21 You guys were really good in the passing game,
02:22 then kind of sputtered a little
02:24 in the second half of the Seattle game.
02:26 How do you keep it consistent
02:28 from a passing standpoint on offense?
02:31 - Like I said, just taking advantage
02:33 of what the defense gives us, you know what I'm saying?
02:34 And we don't always get opportunities like that,
02:37 but when we do, we gotta take advantage of them,
02:39 make a big play.
02:40 - When did you know that the offense was kind of
02:42 gonna do what it was doing today?
02:43 What corner of the game?
02:44 - First possession, man.
02:46 The first possession told it all for us,
02:47 told us how we was gonna play and all.
02:48 So, I mean, the first possession was there for it.
02:52 - What's going through your mind
02:53 when Joe's scrambling around on third and 10
02:55 and finds T?
02:56 The one where he's breaking multiple tackles in back?
02:58 - Yeah, I thought he was down, actually.
03:00 I didn't even know, I stopped my,
03:01 I didn't even stop scrambling
03:03 'cause I didn't even know he threw the ball.
03:04 And then after the play, I looked at the screen
03:06 and just watched the whole play.
03:07 I didn't realize he did so much on that play.
03:09 So, hell of a job by him.
03:10 - You obviously know, Jamar, how great a passer he is,
03:13 but the hit he took from Warner,
03:15 one of the best linebackers in football,
03:16 and he gets right out.
03:17 - Yeah, man, literally,
03:19 as soon as I, I actually made a comment on that hit
03:23 and made a play, I was like,
03:24 "Damn, that's a tough mother(beep)."
03:25 You know what I'm saying?
03:26 So like, hey, for real, man,
03:29 like he's a quarterback taking hits like that
03:30 from linebackers, from all pro linebackers,
03:32 right there, you know what I'm saying?
03:33 He's one of the best linebackers in the league.
03:34 So, take a hit like that,
03:35 you bounce right up and keep it going.
03:37 You know what I'm saying?
03:37 And that's what he does.
03:38 - How impressive was the run game today?
03:41 - We did good, moving the ball forward,
03:43 got the, like I said,
03:44 we got the opportunas we had to when we needed it,
03:45 makes it out of the end zone.
03:46 So, I mean, it was all around game for the offense.
03:48 - Did they switch up their coverage at all?
03:50 Did they change, I mean, what did they-
03:51 - They did a lot of quarters.
03:53 A lot of quarters.
03:54 They played a little bit of man sometimes,
03:55 but they don't usually play us like everybody else.
03:57 - Did they change up like they, I mean,
04:00 'cause they don't, did they play you enough
04:01 to give up anything wrong, right?
04:03 - No, I got doubled, but they didn't play it.
04:07 Like, they didn't want me to go deep
04:08 'cause we had opportunas, we just never threw it.
04:10 You know what I'm saying?
04:11 So, we saved it.
04:13 - So they didn't change up, they didn't-
04:14 - I mean, not for real,
04:15 just quarters and 11 hole double.
04:18 You know what I'm saying?
04:18 - So, they did lose some stuff.
04:21 - Yeah.
04:22 - There was a play in the fourth.
04:23 You got tripped up in space around the line of scrimmage
04:26 and it looked like you had some space there.
04:27 I think it was that end around, the little handoff.
04:30 - Oh my gosh.
04:30 I wish I could get that play back.
04:33 Oh, I wish I could get that play back.
04:36 It was so much green grass over there.
04:38 It was crazy, but it happens.
04:40 - Was that six if you get past that?
04:42 - Nah, T told me he missed his block,
04:43 so I don't think I-
04:44 (all laughing)
04:47 - I'm not blaming T.
04:48 - Not blaming T, that's what he told me, so.
04:51 - Do Pratt and Wilson get enough credit, Jamar?
04:53 - In who?
04:56 - Pratt and Wilson.
04:57 - Yeah, yeah.
04:59 You don't think so?
05:00 They're one of the best linebackers in the league.
05:03 They might not get it publicity-wise, but they do.
05:05 They do.
05:06 They know it, that's why they don't say much.
05:08 You know what I'm saying?
05:09 Logan doesn't say much, Pratt doesn't say much.
05:10 He's smart as hell and still don't say much,
05:11 so just how good of a player they are.
05:14 - Why does this team take so much pride
05:16 in when you leave home?
05:17 - Okay, last one.
05:18 - Last hit, last hit.
05:19 - Thank you.
05:20 - Getting on the flight.
05:21 Why does this team take so much pride
05:23 in coming into stadiums like this and walking out?
05:26 - I think this was a couple of people's
05:27 first time playing here, and we all know it was grass,
05:30 so we was pretty excited.
05:31 We heard grass, honestly.
05:32 But it's a fun stadium to play in.
05:36 This is a fun team to play against.
05:38 It's one of the biggest games in football,
05:39 so we lived up to the challenge.
05:41 (upbeat music)
05:44 (dramatic music)
05:46 (dramatic music)
05:49 (dramatic music)
05:52 (dramatic music)
05:55 (dramatic music)
