1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: Afternoon, everyone. How challenging is this Chargers defensive for me? Yeah,

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: they're very good. Um, you know, it's gonna be a

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: tough challenge for us obviously, got you know, two really

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: good edge guys in Bosa and Ingram, and they do

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: a lot with them. You know, they don't just play

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: one position, So it's gonna be a big challenge. We

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: can't play the game from third and long, you know,

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: can't play the game behind the sticks. We did that

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot last year and it's not a very favorable

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: way to play these guys. And when you're out of

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: practice and the snow flurries start coming through and the

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: wins cutting through, I mean, how much of that? It's

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: just a reminder, do you guys? Like this is playoff,

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: playoff weather, playoff football. And you know, I grew up

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: in the South, and when I think of NFL playoff football,

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: that's kind of the picture. You think of the snow,

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: the cold, So you know, it's always fun to get

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: out there in that. How much confidence is there in

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: the run game right now, especially coming off the portances

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: against the Bills and the Jets to that end the year.

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: And we put a lot of emphasis in our run game,

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: and UM put a lot of time, you know, hours

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: into it, and uh, you know, I think that's something

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: we always want to be confident in. UM. And we

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: don't have to do a good job. They do things.

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: Last year they gave us trouble, um, you know, playing

27
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: a lot of substituted defenses and you know, you kind

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: of have dbs playing linebackers and we were a little discombobulated,

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: um upfront last year with that. And so you know,

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: we have to do a great job of everyone being

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: on the same page. UM, you know, blocking you know,

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: the spots and not you know, not getting flush heard

33
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: or you know, if there's a dB playing a linebacker.

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: How much does playoff experience help players out? Especially how

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: much is it helped versus somebody who's never been that

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Not at all, Not at all, UM, you know, it's uh,

37
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: what really matters is execution. You know, you can have

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: guys who've played one hundred playoff games and they don't

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: show up on a Sunday then or Saturday. It really

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, you know. So UM, at the end of

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: the day, it's just a football game. It's going to

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: come down to who executes the best, Who prepared the

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: most that week, and um that's really what matters, not

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: what you did in the pass. Do you know it's

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: anything different than Tom Brady when it comes to the playoffs?

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: Does he stepped it up a different way? Or does

47
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: does he change it all? I think everyone does, you know,

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: And um, Tom's obviously a great leader and you know,

49
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: kind of sets of tongue with a lot of things,

50
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, but you just feel that sense

51
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: of urgency when you walk in the building, Um, you know,

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: from everyone, and it's not just one person that provides that.

53
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's it's just like I said,

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: just that sense of urgency. You know, everything's heightened that

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: much more. There's nothing promised after this, so you know

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: with one game season right now you're talking about Gronk

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: in just the sense of what he means to your

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: offense and paying it to big games like this, his

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: leadership qualities, what do you expect from him? Yeah, he's

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: a great player. You know, he does a lot of

61
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: for us. Um you know, he's been doing it for

62
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: a long time too, you know, and uh, you know

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: he love having him out there. Anytime he's out there,

64
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, he can do so much force. So you

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: know he's a great player. Talking about the substitution defenses

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: from the west, time you clead them go from your

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: guys standpoint, what's the key to come back in that?

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Is it when you break the huddle? Is it knowing

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: what's out there? Yeah, you know, we're gonna set out

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: my point and then you know, really from there it's

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, not blocking, it's blocking spots. So person next

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: to the mics to Sam, person to the left of Will, Um,

73
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, not getting really flustered with you know, numbers

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: necessarily and really just blocking the spots and um, you know,

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: going off your my point, Like I said, the next

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: guy to the rights of Sam, next guy to the

77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: left of Will, how much of a factor or how

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: how does their defensive line, especially with me Bank coming

79
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: back and their edge rushers allow them to go white

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: on the back end of the defense? Yeah, you know,

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's definitely a strength because they can be

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: so disruptive up front. You know that they're able to

83
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, throwing some substituted defense. Says it maybe against

84
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: a you know, two tight end group. Um. You know,

85
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: so when you've got guys that can be that disruptive

86
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: up front. And it's not just two guys like you said,

87
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, you got me Ban, you got Filine, you

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: got Square, you know um Rochelle. I mean, there's just

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: so many of them. So when you ever you got

90
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: these guys that can be that disruptive, that really helps

91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: out your defense. Have a going guys,
