10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: We're doing, We're doing good, Evan, appreciate the time. Obviously,

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: a big, big game coming up for you guys, and

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 3: we all know what the chiefs are about. When you

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: guys have played well at home, you haven't lost the game,

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: the offense hasn't sort of got untracked a little bit.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: You've been in this league long enough to see ups

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 3: and downs. What if anything, can a veteran leader like

17
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: yourself impart the guys in terms of this part of

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: the season and how to approach the remaining games.

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's all about kind

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: of staying the course. I love I love the stand

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: that we have here. I love the way we work.

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: We're always chase and improvement, and we understand how hard

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: it is to win in this league. So at the

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: end of the day, we have to continue to get

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: better and chase improvement. But when it comes down to

26
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: the moment each Sunday, we got to get the job done,

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: however it looks, however it gets done. As long as

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 2: we walk off with the field of a w that's

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: that's the goal. So we just got to continue, like

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: I said, chase improvement, be able to look ourselves in

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: the mirror and see the things that we can improve

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: and work on those things and then execute when it

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: comes to it.

34
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 4: How hard is it to stay you know, dialed into

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: the moment. You've read off eight of those wins you

36
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: talked about. The two losses have all been you know,

37
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: last second type losses. How difficult is it to stay

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: dialed into the moment with those type levels of success.

39
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like we have great leadership here and even

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball, where you know,

41
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: we don't take any moment for granted, We don't take

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: any any opportunity lightly. And also we we try to

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: stay away from complacency, so we're we're always ready We're

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: always locked in and we understand that nothing is given

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: to us. So you have to have that mentality to

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: go out and take what we want and that kind

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: of keeps us locked in and focused and hungry for

48
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: achiever more.

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: You've been playing a lot of football now in this

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: era of Chiefs football. What is it about this team

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: that has been able to sustain such a high level

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: of success.

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean over the you look at them over

54
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: the years. Uh, just they just know how to win.

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: Each game is a blowout or they're not, you know,

56
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: dog walking teams. Nobody really does that in the league.

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: But you get to that last five seven to five

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: minutes of a football game, and you know, those guys

59
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: just know how to finish and win. And you know,

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: the two roles speak for themselves, and obviously the quarterback

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: play and then what they can do on offense and

62
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: then spags on defense all the things that they do.

63
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: So they I mean, they've built a great team, They've

64
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: built a great organization, and but they just they just

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: know how to win. And that's gonna, you know, that's

66
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: gonna give us all challenges. When we see in the Sunday.

67
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: You mentioned Spags the defensive coordator Steve Spagnola of the Chiefs.

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: When when you guys preparing for this week and you

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: see some of the stuff that Kansas City does, talk

70
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: a little bit about what you see, I know, a

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: myriad of pressures and and stuff that maybe not every

72
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: single team does. But what what couple of things do

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: you see that impression most about Kansas City's defense?

74
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I think just the way that they

75
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: fly around, honestly, all the different looks that they present,

76
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: the speed and the disguises and the pressures and and

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: really just the tenacity that they play with. And uh,

78
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: it just you could just tell they just they're just

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: a very confident group. Uh and uh and you know

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: coach uh, you know Spags, he draws up a lot

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: of different crazy things, and it's it's a headache sometimes

82
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: to be able to decipher and see and break down.

83
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm in the moment on the field. So yeah, they

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: got a great system over there, And you know, this

85
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: week is probably the biggest preparation week that we've had

86
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: as far as we're trying to prepare for all the

87
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: things that they do.

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: You know, you guys get to go up against the

89
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: best of the best in practice every day. Do you

90
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: think that prepares you for games like this a little

91
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: bit better?

92
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no doubt, even even just going against those

93
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: guys all training camp and and you know, whenever we

94
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: do have compete periods here in practice, we definitely never

95
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: take that opportunity lightly because you know, we do get

96
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: the practice against the best and obviously on in South Desion,

97
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, we definitely try to take advantage of that.

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram joining us last one for me. You guys

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: had a mini buy here and a lot has been

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: covered about the kind of grueling schedule to start the year,

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: including a trip out to London, no bye week afterwards.

102
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Did the many buy maybe help give you guys a

103
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: bit of a reset here before you hit the final

104
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: stretch of games?

105
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,039
