49ers

49ers DC Robert Saleh and Jaguars HC Liam Coen made headlines for their confrontation following Week 4’s game, which came after Saleh said Jacksonville was “almost elite” at stealing signs legally. Saleh clarified his comments on Tuesday.

“As a coach, watching their tape, I recognize the amount of hours that must be spent to be able to build formations and define every little indicator they can to give their players a chance to be in a successful position,” Saleh said, via ProFootballTalk. “That’s exhausting, and every team does it. Some do it better than others and it was my way of acknowledging that these guys are really, really, really good at it. And, like I said, Sunday doesn’t change that. I think Liam’s doing a hell of a job, I really do. You can tell that that team’s really taking on his personality and I hope they came out of the game healthy, and I wish him the best of luck throughout the rest of the season. I wish I could have found a better choice of words, but my intent was always to compliment that football staff.”

“That was the kind of game a lot of coaches would’ve been like, O.K., move on to next week, and not addressed it at all,” Verse, via Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. “Sean takes that head on. We gave that team that win. Obviously, that’s a very good Philadelphia team, but we gave them that win. We started going away from our morals and changing up how we play. And Sean made sure to adjust with that. We can dominate any team in the league but we have to be us.”

Verse said they focused on how they gave Week 3 away to the Eagles to ensure they don’t make the same mistake.

“We made mistakes [in Philly] and they were able to come back,” Verse said. *“You sit down and say, All right, this was on us. How do I make sure that never happens again? I’m glad it happened against one of the top teams in the league instead of another team that wasn’t as talented. We realized, that’s what can happen if you don’t keep your foot on the gas, take your...
