Speaker 1: I'm excited about this opportunity along with everyone else. But uh,
Speaker 1: of course were looking to go finish the job. And
Speaker 1: I know you guys have a lot of questions in
Speaker 1: regards to uh last week as well as this week.
Speaker 1: So I'll open up the floor, like just look.
Speaker 2: Ahead, Steve and the just the big challenge that Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes offers you guys.
Speaker 1: Well, it's definitely a challenge and not only him. Uh
Speaker 1: you look at Kelsey you talk about two first Battle
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers there, we definitely have a pairing and ready,
Speaker 1: it's different things that we have to do. Uh number one, Uh,
Speaker 1: he's doing a tremendous job. Really extended plays. We talked
Speaker 1: all week. Uh it's two plays within one down, you
Speaker 1: know when the ball snaps and then once he starts
Speaker 1: to scramble. So uh, he's phenomenal, the best I've ever
Speaker 1: seen for it's just you know, buying time went with
Speaker 1: his feed and uh getting the ball way and he
Speaker 1: used to go down the field.
Speaker 3: Name Uh that there's a lot of improblems between those
Speaker 3: two homes. Else when two players have that, what can
Speaker 3: you do on defense? I mean it seems like any
Speaker 3: sort of set plan can be foiled by living.
Speaker 1: They do uh ad live and they do a great
Speaker 1: job of it. But uh, we still have to have
Speaker 1: a great plan. We still got to.
Speaker 4: Execute and finish.
Speaker 1: When they start to app live, we gotta do a
Speaker 1: great job of really plastering the main within our zone,
Speaker 1: uh and really straining to make sure we finish the rep.
Speaker 3: What's unique about their their relationship that they know exactly
Speaker 3: where the other one is going on the field that
Speaker 3: you've seen a relationship.
Speaker 1: A quarterback and it's you know, it's if anything, it's time.
Speaker 1: You know, you build a strong relationship over time. And uh,
Speaker 1: they seem to be in sync with with one another
Speaker 1: in regards to Mahomes could be going to his right
Speaker 1: and Kelsey really is going to his right as well,
Speaker 1: an he'sting the opposite way. So and they're always on
Speaker 1: point with one another. So that's the point that we're
Speaker 1: trying to emphasize in practice, is that the down is
Speaker 1: never over. You gotta be ready to extend it down
Speaker 1: once my home starts surrembling.
Speaker 2: To have somebody like Moody in the secondary who's been
Speaker 2: through this and won.
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl, Uh, it it's great, you know, his
Speaker 1: experience being there before you know. I know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he shared that with the players.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: But the key thing with all of us is not
Speaker 1: to get so caught up with the emotions of this
Speaker 1: game to where it overwhelms us. We got to go
Speaker 1: out there and execute and have you know, a calm
Speaker 1: demeanor about ourselves, but also a sense of urgency.
Speaker 4: Oh ready.
Speaker 2: And the expoken yesterday about how they felt that effort
Speaker 2: and pursuit was an issue for the defense and the
Speaker 2: Ntascy Championship game.
Speaker 4: What do you attribute that to? What do you feel
Speaker 4: that was?
Speaker 1: Uh? I think you really have to aks them individually,
Speaker 1: uh collectively as a team. I can tell you as
Speaker 1: a defense, it's unacceptable, all right, And we talked about that.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: I wish I could tell these guys on play on
Speaker 1: play twenty seven, this is what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: You don't know. Uh.
Speaker 1: So we got to make sure that we play every
Speaker 1: down as if it's gonna be the difference in the
Speaker 1: ball game. And you could see on those two particular
Speaker 1: plays it wasn't to our standard. And those guys understand
Speaker 1: and know that, and quite honest, it was embarrassing. Uh.
Speaker 2: Screen game and short passes the chiefs. The chief's like
Speaker 2: what makes them so successful with that? And then how
Speaker 2: do you kind of counteract that?
Speaker 1: Well, one is just getting the ball out quickly, you know,
Speaker 1: and into their playmakers' hands, and once again just trying
Speaker 1: to get things on the perimeter with Kelsey and then
Speaker 1: having those lead blockers. So we gotta do a great
Speaker 1: job setting edges, as we talked about all year on
Speaker 1: the perimeter, rather it's the talk sweep, jet sweep or
Speaker 1: the actual screen game itself. So, uh, that's something that
Speaker 1: we've been emphasizing.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like last last week you mentioned that
Speaker 2: the linebackers are not necessarily the D line setting the edges,
Speaker 2: but getting more vertical up.
Speaker 4: Did you feel like that was better or.
Speaker 1: Was it roughly the sames We we had some some
Speaker 1: spurts where we did it well and then we showed
Speaker 1: somewhere we're inconsistent, and it's just really about trying to
Speaker 1: pull the trigger sometimes on those permanent games. It's not
Speaker 1: anything dealing with the scheme. It's just that individual were
Speaker 1: ready to go and make a play and just got
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger.
Speaker 4: Dan, You Reid use motion and things are differently maybe
Speaker 4: than other coaches and the challenge is that I don't
Speaker 4: want to say what he used differently.
Speaker 1: I think all offensive coaches try to create different dynamics
Speaker 1: with the motion. It could be trying to get a
Speaker 1: receive off press, you know, it could be really trying
Speaker 1: to you know, if you're a lot of you're a
Speaker 1: big man team, trying to disrupt your timing force, who
Speaker 1: you have within the bunch or staxed formations.
Speaker 4: Uh. They do a lot of that, and we have
Speaker 4: to do a.
Speaker 1: Great job of our communication making sure that we're on
Speaker 1: the same page.
Speaker 2: You think of the emotions going into the super Bowl
Speaker 2: and just controlling them.
Speaker 5: You're about to take this prep over to Las Vegas
Speaker 5: and it's an entire week of media, publicity and basically
Speaker 5: a celebration.
Speaker 4: So how do you keep these players focused before they believe?
Speaker 4: Said Claire on what's happening?
Speaker 1: That's sun.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Kyle does a great job of that from a standpoint
Speaker 1: of painting the picture that needs to be painted each week.
Speaker 4: Uh, this is a normal week for us. You know.
Speaker 1: Our approach is as if we're playing this week, you
Speaker 1: do you did mention there is a somewhat of a
Speaker 1: circus once we get there with the media and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, and have to go through the fanfare of
Speaker 1: that process the early part of the week. I don't
Speaker 1: really consider it to be a celebration unt after we win.
Speaker 1: Uh and and we'll get our guys locked back in
Speaker 1: on Wednesday as we approach and get ready for practice.
Speaker 4: He's run games, it's.
Speaker 2: Become a more of a featured part of their attack.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Pacheco. I think he's he's phenomenal. The guy runs hard hard.
Speaker 1: I mean between the tackles outside. You know, we talked
Speaker 1: all week. You know, we got a game tackle this guy.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna go down on first contact. A lot
Speaker 1: of respect for him, just watching him over the years
Speaker 1: or last year, and then also just seeing what what
Speaker 1: he's done this year is just you know, he's phenomenal.
Speaker 5: See what are you see it from kin Law? Seems
Speaker 5: like he does a nice job or has done a
Speaker 5: nice job at protecting green Law and Warner's legs and
Speaker 5: just absorbing the interior guys.
Speaker 4: How's he looked in the last couple of games to you? Uh?
Speaker 1: I I thought he's per performed well. He's been doing
Speaker 1: a great job for us all year. I'm happy about
Speaker 1: his performance.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Looking for that consistency in the Super Bowl. When you
Speaker 1: talk about the guys up front, you know, we do
Speaker 1: have to do a great job of keeping the double
Speaker 1: teams off, but likewise, our linebacker's got to do a
Speaker 1: good job getting downhill and getting the double teams off
Speaker 1: as well. So, uh, it's hand in hand what we're
Speaker 1: trying to do with the uh D line and the linebackers.
Speaker 4: How would you describe.
Speaker 5: Uh Mooney's personality. I'm good, Uh, how do you try
Speaker 5: Mooney's personality?
Speaker 4: Just kind of what what guy type of guy he is?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Mooney is? And he he is.
Speaker 1: He's he's real consistent and he has somewhat of a
Speaker 1: laid back demeanor, but extremely focused. Alright, was watching tape yesterday,
Speaker 1: I was selling the coaches. You know, you can tell
Speaker 1: somewhat the excitement of going against his old team because
Speaker 1: you could see a different gear yesterday and just how
Speaker 1: he was going about his just technique and running to
Speaker 1: the ball and things like that. So I love Mooney.
Speaker 1: I love his preparation and what he brings each and
Speaker 1: every week. You know, second team All Pro Pro Bowl player,
Speaker 1: well deserving.
Speaker 2: Stopping a run against the team that uses two and
Speaker 2: three tight informations.
Speaker 1: When you talk about challenging, I think rather one tight end,
Speaker 1: two tight ends, it's challenging as a whole.
Speaker 4: Just because of what we just talked about with the.
Speaker 1: Running back, they create different dynamics when they come to thirteen,
Speaker 1: And to be quite honest, what you just mentioned, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's not really the case. They get in the thirteen.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they spread out and it looks
Speaker 1: like eleven. So you may try to bring in an
Speaker 1: extra linement and all of a sudden, now you're really
Speaker 1: defending eleven personnel. So we got to really get a
Speaker 1: feel for what they're doing throughout the course of the
Speaker 1: game and continue to try to stay on schedule.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 2: John Line said earlier that Modey has an innocence to him.
Speaker 5: Do you think that contributes to his laid back personality?
Speaker 5: And do you see that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do, I do, you know, a true innocence, But
Speaker 1: I still say he has that dog in him once
Speaker 1: he gets on the field. I love his demeaning once
Speaker 1: he gets out there. He's physical, he's tough, he fits
Speaker 1: out of DNA for sure.
Speaker 5: Films do you want to watch in a cam of
Speaker 5: this magnitude because Mahomes threw fourteen picks this year, but
Speaker 5: he hasn't thrown one in like four or five games.
Speaker 5: Is there anything that you're seeing that he's changed from
Speaker 5: early in the year till late in the year.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you take your time to really
Speaker 1: dig through a lot of stuff. You know, we watched
Speaker 1: a lot of tape as coaches together and separate, you know,
Speaker 1: going back to previous Super Bowls or whether you know
Speaker 1: it's Tampa, it's us, previous years.
Speaker 4: You know, this system hasn't changed. Their system hasn't changed.
Speaker 1: So you try to figure out things that may have
Speaker 1: hurt you the pass and you know, feel feeling like
Speaker 1: they may you know, try to explot that.
Speaker 4: So, uh, you watch a lot of tape.
Speaker 2: Point of view when you're looking up for your offense
Speaker 2: like you did last year. They obviously have a lot
Speaker 2: of talented guys at skill positions. Where does Trent Williams
Speaker 2: come into play when you're making a defensive scheme, game plan.
Speaker 1: One of the best tackles to play the game. I think, uh,
Speaker 1: first ball of Hall of Famer, you you definitely have
Speaker 1: to know exactly where he is.
Speaker 4: Uh, And in the standpoint of.
Speaker 1: Trying to create different different matchups, stunts to his side, UH,
Speaker 1: different things.
Speaker 4: You know they're gonna run the ball there.
Speaker 1: Uh when it comes to uh pass pro Uh, he's
Speaker 1: he can definitely take care of uh the best to
Speaker 1: uh rusher one on one by himself. So UH, I
Speaker 1: don't know how much you can really do uh to
Speaker 1: to avoid him in that situation. You just know he's
Speaker 1: there and you know run opposite.
Speaker 6: Obviously, Ravens, you know, had an elite unit and the
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator is getting the job in Seattle. I think
Speaker 6: people have an instinct to say, you know, copy game plans,
Speaker 6: and how much validity is there too? You see a
Speaker 6: team do something well on defense, do you copy it?
Speaker 6: Or is it something where you see what try and
Speaker 6: fits into your scheme from that.
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of both. And we just
Speaker 1: talked about how much tape you watch. So you go
Speaker 1: back and as you're watching tape, you're trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what creative problems for them, you know, rather it's
Speaker 1: against the Ravens, rather it's last year, rather it's two
Speaker 1: years ago. And then you take that data, that data
Speaker 1: and you try to incorporate that into what you do
Speaker 1: schematically so I think you're right as a combination of both.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you guys, Thank you,
