T Terron Armstead

(I know you always do everything you can to try to play. Was how you felt today – did it leave you optimistic about Sunday?) – “Yeah.”

(How tough has the process been the last – I know it’s been weeks and weeks, two months you’ve been dealing with this, you’ve been a sport about it – how difficult has it been?) – “It’s been a challenge for sure. It’s been a challenge just trying to navigate everything, but at the same time trying to prepare and keep my technique and all that good stuff right, but excited for Sunday.”

(What’s the film showing you regarding the 49ers front?) – “That defense has been really, really good for a number of years. They’ve got some guys over there, some individuals that are highly recognized and for good reason. Definitely got to pay attention to those guys, be prepared for those guys; but as a unit, it’s a very well-orchestrated defense. They know exactly where they need to be. A lot of guys have been in that scheme for some years now so they’re comfortable. It’ll be a challenge for us.”

(What were you experiencing the last time you did go out there, that game against the Jets? We kind of saw the look on your face as you were sitting there on the bench. What was going through your head in that moment?) – “It was to a point where it was a loss of function so not a pain thing. It was shutting down my knee so I couldn’t be in there and put anybody else in harm’s way.”

(The success that the Niners have had, I’m just curious on your perspective of not just you but the guys in the locker room – do players kind of see this as like a measuring stick game just with all the success that they’ve had, the Niners?) – “We really prepare for the other team, but we focus on us. Like our execution, our preparation, the way we go about our business. That’s really it. Like there’s no team that we feel like it’s a measuring stick. It’s all about what the Miami Dolphins can go out and execute.”

(What makes 49ers DE Nick Bosa the player he is?) – “He can win all three ways – outside, inside, down the middle. So a lot of times when you’re breaking down pass rushers, you want to take something away. If it’s a guy that has a really good speed rush, all right, now let me challenge him outside and make him bull rush me. But with him, it’s like all three phases, he’s elite at getting to the quarterback so you’ve got to go after him really. Be aggressive, be physical, take the fight to him.”

(Now he’s on the injury report, but I assume you have to operate as if you think he’s going to play, right?) – “You would be crazy not to prepare for Nick (Bosa). Like I said, they’ve got some guys over there that have been highly successful in this league and they’ve got a lot of notoriety that they’ve earned and Nick is one of those guys.”
