In this post-game press conference, San Francisco 49ers Assistant Head Coach and Defense Coordinator Robert Saleh breaks down the mental progression of linebacker Dee Winters.

Following a standout "pick-six" play, Saleh explains the transition a young player makes from being bogged down by playbook responsibilities to playing with "free ears." He highlights how Winters' familiarity with the defensive scheme allowed him to stop worrying about his alignment and start listening to the opposing quarterback's checks at the line of scrimmage. This level of awareness is a key indicator of a player's growth and their ability to execute at an elite level.
