And I just using resisting sat there on the football field -- tested George to see. You said that Sunday Patrick Willis is ballgame was the best you've ever seen by a linebacker. Not a serious Sunday. I feel like the question was asked. Compare and Patrick two Ray Lewis. One gray was younger at the same time and I feel like. What Patrick what -- what Ray Lewis is to the Baltimore Ravens team. At that time is is is equivalent to. What Patrick is to the 49ers. He's a big play make he's a guy who comes in and he can get it -- from all angles. Obviously a lot of guys making plays on that defensive unit how has all the talent that is now assembled around you.

And I was at the locker after the game crime may frustrate. And he came up to mean he told me say young -- want to understand this. Regardless of how Goosen has great that you wore what you gonna be. I want you to know that you would never reach -- full potential resupplied into we get. Other guys with this same desire mentality. Of round you on this football team. An -- dad goes back to push the what you just asked. This is it -- an -- just a reason while -- please what it is right now I have I've had Ditka opportunity to. To be granted -- Buffalo would now was even better here. Because I would Patrick prayers Harrison I don't feel like I have to go out and do everything back in -- day ever really feel like I have to go wanna make every play but now. On the stand at his home -- -- take care what I'm supposed to everything -- ceramic would take care reception desk when you -- to be proposal comes to life. And that's really evident watching you guys that you kind of feed off each other. It -- yeah what's it like having coach singletary alluded to him earlier. As sort of a security blanket and a guy who really knows the defense like he does. What do they were -- singletary -- -- He would never. -- Me Iraq. He's he's he was never that you just sit back and say you know what I get a next. Or OK okay -- just give it now. Is to first time you go -- you go all about the first time when not.
