When 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans speaks to the media, it’s short, sweet, and to the point. That wasn't the case for the first time all season when Ryans took the podium Thursday.
Ryans used the term “eye discipline” six separate times:
“The eye discipline it has cost us some really big plays and plays that we shouldn’t give up, we’re giving them up because of the discipline with the eyes, and our guys understand that we have to get better there if we want to continue to play good defense.”
The 49ers are undoubtedly the best defense in the NFL, as they remain in the top three in every meaningful defensive statistic.
