We felt responsible for each other. The D-line's got to take care of that line of scrimmage, (the linebackers) have got to clean up, and the safeties and DBs take care of that back end. We felt we're a brotherhood and we just had to get it done.

We couldn't even go nickel, and that's where we cut it loose a little bit. I didn't know that until after the game. . . . I was like, 'We have three safeties out here,' but they said (Brandon) was at corner.

Some other safeties in the league, you can say they have a history of making cheap shots. If it was somebody else, I'd say, 'Yeah, cheap shot.' But I know Mike a little bit ... and I don't see him as a cheap-shot guy at all. He's just a hard-nosed football player.

The situation here (in San Francisco) is great. There's only three safeties, and plus I get back closer to home. It feels good to go from not being wanted to being wanted.

It don't get no better than that, ... We practice that -- we have takeaway drills in practice, and that's the same the drill, 'scoop-and-score.' You can thank (safeties) coach (Chad) Glasgow for that one.

It definitely gives you a little bit more opportunity to make plays when you're singled up, ... With our linebackers coming or our safeties coming, it changes things up to allow each guy to get some pressure in the quarterback's face. But nobody is out there alone.

Nate and T. Frank and Marcus have really been solid back there. They say the safeties are not experienced, but everybody has to start for the first time sometime. Everybody gets replaced.

I see Steve McNair. I still see Keith Bulluck. I see those safeties and that big offensive line, ... They just kind of fire-cracked it. I don't know if they blew it up.

The coaches did a good job of that from training camp to now. They just don't coach you on what the safeties do; they coach what the nickel backs do, what the corners do. That's a big reason why when someone goes down, someone else steps in right away and we don't have big drop-offs.

If we're running the ball well, then the safeties have to come up. That's going to open things up for Chad. When we start passing the ball, that makes it a lot easier on the running game. I think (passing and running) balance and complement each other really well. If one's doing good, the other one's going to do good. We just have to keep defenses on their heels.
