SANTA CLARA – Second-year cornerback Dontae Johnson spoke in the 49ers’ auditorium Tuesday morning. Here are selected quotes.
Q: With the new defensive scheme, how much more aggressive are you guys supposed to play as cornerbacks?
JOHNSON: I guess you could say we’re playing more aggressive, but it’s putting us in better positions. Honestly giving the whole defense a better chance to make plays, make more plays, play at a high level and allow each player’s strengths to surface.
Q: It seems like you’re playing outside in the Nickel packages and Tramaine Brock goes inside. Is that usually how it goes?
