San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator spoke with the media after Monday’s practice about Jimmie Ward’s coverage ability, Dee Ford’s personality, third down defense, and much more. Check it out below:
How much of what we saw in the preseason is what you guys are going to be carrying into the regular season?
“For us, our third down stuff is where it gets a little bit more exotic for us. Even from a year ago, we get a lot more creative on third down. First and second down there are still going to be some nuances and all that stuff that teams haven’t seen, but I’d like to think third down we’re a little bit more exotic than what normal teams who run our system are.
