00:00Understanding that, to me, the number one key tonight to pulling off an upset is you have to stay on
00:08the field on offense.
00:10That's the key to the game.
00:12You've got to convert on third downs.
00:15It would be nice to not get into a lot of third downs.
00:18It would be nice if the first and second down offense was so successful that you only had seven or
00:24eight third down attempts in the game.
00:26You don't want 15, 16, 17 third down attempts.
00:31That is high stress.
00:32High stress.
00:34But if you do, you need to convert on third down.
00:38The 49ers are 18th in the league defensively on third down.
00:4418th.
00:45Offense and staying on the field and keeping the 49er offense off it, even based on what I told you
00:54about the Durante Jones,
00:55Brian Flores' success, I still think that the key to this game is you've got to stay on the field.
01:02You have to convert it better than 50% on third down.
01:06We've got to be in the 55, 60, 65% range for this game.
