Prior to each game the beat reporters speak to the head coach and one marquis player from the opposing team. This week the San Francisco 49ers beat reporters chose DE Cliff Avril who prior to his time in Seattle, spent his first five years in Detroit.
Avril discussed many topics including the misconception of simplicity regarding not only Seattle’s defense, but Chip Kelly’s offense. He detailed how he thought Colin Kaepernick has changed in Kelly’s offense, throwing downfield from the pocket more as well as going through his reads. Avril also discussed his battles with now retired Anthony Davis, and he seemed to find the questions pretty amusing.
