How do you wrap your brain around that?
Nick BosaGUEST
Um, when you have your opportunity, I know we had two against, uh, Stafford, um, that could've made...
Nick BosaGUEST
So you just have to make your, um, make your plays when they're there, and then, um, just be in, be in the right spots.

... is that one particularly difficult to get over?
Nick BosaGUEST
Yeah, no, that was tough, especially 'cause we have calls that could negate that.
speaker_80UNKNOWN
What makes Mahomes a cut above the rest if you look at him that way?
Nick BosaGUEST
Uh, he's able to get the ball far distances really fast, so you don't need that much, uh, separation.
Nick BosaGUEST
He likes to pump fake people and make 'em miss and run for first downs when you need him.
speaker_69UNKNOWN
... is that one difficult to get over?
speaker_46UNKNOWN
Mm.
Nick BosaGUEST
Like they ran the zone read a few times and we just didn't, um, find an answer to it.
Nick BosaGUEST
Uh, but yeah, I mean, I definitely thought he was gonna hold it or keep it, but, uh, I gotta do my job, especially in a big moment like that.
Nick BosaGUEST
Um, but, um, we definitely have a plan for the zone read this time, so hindsight's 2020.

When the game ends and you start to evaluate how you did, who in your world do you want to talk to? Is it Chris? Is it your dad? Your brother? Or is it just you? Who do
speaker_12UNKNOWN
Were you guys aware of that talk, and how do you feel you respond?
speaker_2UNKNOWN
What were the vibes like coming back home after that game?
Nick BosaGUEST
We all were talking a big game that we were going to hang out and enjoy it for a few hours.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
Have you felt any jet lag since
speaker_14UNKNOWN
How did you guys feel physically? You know, you had a four-year week, and you looked like you had a lot of energy.
Nick BosaGUEST
The game ball went to our strength and conditioning guy, Dustin, and I think coming out for a week was just a smart play with how far the flight was and all the amenities we had here.
speaker_14UNKNOWN
I'll say that.
David LombardiHOST
Nick Bosa though gave us even more insight into what the past month or so has been like as he's rehabbed from his third ACL tear through some knee tendonitis.
Nick BosaGUEST
I'm not going to go back too far because every recovery there's ups and downs and, um, but it was a long road.
Nick BosaGUEST
And then, uh, it kind of, I kind of ramped it a little too fast with the football stuff.

How would you evaluate your game tonight?
Nick BosaGUEST
Um, it was a little weird last week for the first time in my career playing a game that doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of playoff contention, and I kinda had to check myself and, and this week come in with a mindset of every game matters and, um, and we need to put the best product out there that we can and [clears throat], um, and that's what I try to do [clears throat].
speaker_119UNKNOWN
How do you wrap your brain around that?
Nick BosaGUEST
Um, when you have your opportunity, I know we had two against, uh, Stafford, um, that could have made-- I mean, if-- maybe if we get those, it, it sparks a bunch of other ones.
Nick BosaGUEST
So you just have to make your, um, make your plays when they're there and then, um, just be in, be in the right spots, and I don't think we've done a great job of that this year.

Does, does that, do you see that kinda carry over to the, to the rest of the room when you're playing next to the guy that's giving that kind of effort every play?
Nick BosaGUEST
Yeah, I think our effort was pretty darn good, uh, against the Jets, even from first play on.
Nick BosaGUEST
Sometimes it takes a little, uh, little time early in the season 'cause game speed is different and that game wind is different.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
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?

Um, last year was kinda tough getting thrown in, uh, week one after a walk through.
Nick BosaGUEST
So, um, that was another reason I'm excited to be here is just to get practicing a little bit.

Um, [clears throat] I think he's definitely getting a little more vocal within the building and, um, uh, yeah, I mean, I don't think he's ever gonna change.
Nick BosaGUEST
I don't think he's somebody that's gonna change even when he gets paid next year.
Nick BosaGUEST
Um, so he's, he's a man of faith and, uh, he kinda reminds me of Scottie Scheffler, but except for [laughing] everything else.
