1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Raves Press Past podcast. It is Thursday,

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: January twenty fifth. Today we had a chance to hear

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: from head coach John Harbaugh.

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: Beautiful day, weather turned out good, the fog finally cleared.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: Once the fog cleared, we were okay. We weren't sure.

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: You know, it took a while, but guys were high

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: spirited and in focused. So we're happy with where we're

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: at and still got plenty of work to do before

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: before we play on Sunday.

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: So what questions you have.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 4: John, I know you have a lot going on here,

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 4: but have you congratulated your brother and just thoughts of

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 4: him coming.

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 5: Back to the NFL?

15
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: I have, I have, and my thoughts are we play

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: him next year. So we're looking forward to all of it.

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 6: You know.

18
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: I'm just very happy for him, proud of him, excited

19
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: for him, excited for his family. I heard my mom

20
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: and dad told me that he called back in the

21
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: evening and he found out that all of his kids,

22
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: starting with Addie and Katie, had their bags packed already.

23
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: They're ready to go, so they're excited too.

24
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be great.

25
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: He's well deserved. And I'll say this the Chargers just

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: got themselves one great coach.

27
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 7: You don't you have a bit.

28
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 8: Of an unorthodox practice and that you're rotating out players

29
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 8: and left and right tackle. You've been doing that for

30
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 8: a few weeks. And what makes that work with the

31
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 8: players that you have as a part of the system.

32
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 9: Is the talent?

33
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 8: What is helping make that work?

34
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: The pig the page.

35
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good question.

36
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: Probably the biggest thing is we've got good players capable

37
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: of doing it. You know, Pat and Daniel step in

38
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: there and play very well and when you it's not normal.

39
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: I understand that it's not something you see very often, but.

40
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 5: We're able to do it.

41
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: And it was kind of started with you know, the

42
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: knicks that the guys had and tackle between Ronnie and Morgan,

43
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 2: and it just has really done. It's been good for us.

44
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: It's something we found and we're happy with it.

45
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 8: You a strategic advantage just due to the differences in

46
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 8: their size and their play style.

47
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 10: Is that something it all considered?

48
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 9: It might be.

49
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: You know, we really haven't talked too much about it.

50
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we just want to run the plays and

51
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: have the guys go in there and execute to the

52
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: best of their ability. Everybody plays their way, you know,

53
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: so get the job done your way.

54
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 10: The coach for Darting grim real quickly.

55
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 11: If he does come in to watch the game this weekend,

56
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 11: you expect him to be wearing Ravens.

57
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: That's such a great question because I actually thought about that, well,

58
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy wearing Ravens gear if he comes in for the

59
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: game this weekend. I don't know the answer to that.

60
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: We may have to require it perhaps, I mean, you know,

61
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: so that's a good questions.

62
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 10: New Division rivals.

63
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.

64
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I can't help.

65
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 12: But no, see when I go back and look at

66
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 12: the twenty twenty one Chiefs game that you guys beat

67
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 12: him here, Lamar's emotions, especially in the fourth down call,

68
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 12: was that a.

69
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: Big hurdle for him to get past the team like

70
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: that and what they've done?

71
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 13: And when he approaches this game, do you see that

72
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 13: kind of mentality in him to get past one of

73
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 13: the top teams to get where he needs to go.

74
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's always part of all of us.

75
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: We all want to, you know, accomplish the next thing.

76
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: So that that particular game something well one that was

77
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: you know, a good memory Force and we're proud of it.

78
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: Seems like it was a long long time ago and

79
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: this game coming up is the immediate challenge right in

80
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: front of us. And really that's kind of really all

81
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: really thinking about all the other things are part of it,

82
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 2: but not focused on those things right now.

83
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: John with with Mark or Andrews. The continuing practice out there,

84
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 3: I mean, does it look like then he's gonna be

85
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: able to fight one.

86
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: Sunday, Mark practice went through the whole practice, and we'll

87
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: just kind of see on all those things how they

88
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: go and if guys are ready to.

89
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: Go, Nona.

90
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 7: You guys already started to you know what, the idea

91
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 7: that maybe he will be available. Mark did the idea

92
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 7: of you know, putting him finding ways to exploit the

93
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 7: defense with him and likely on the field.

94
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 9: Yeah.

95
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: I mean that's just a great way to ask the

96
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: question and really very creative, and really it's just gonna

97
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: be you know, you gotta get through practices and you've

98
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: gotta you've got to come back the next day.

99
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: Okay.

100
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: You know, so if I stand up here and start

101
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: telling you guys are gonna play, then they no play.

102
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna be looking at me like, well, you know,

103
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: I'm I'm steering you the wrong way either way. You know, So,

104
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: like I said, I made a Viob's just not going

105
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: to get into it. You know, not a doctor, don't

106
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: make predictions. But who's going to play? But all the

107
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: guys who are active and then the receiving corps, all

108
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: the guys will have a chance to get out there

109
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: and make some catches. And I'm rooting for all. I

110
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: promise you that one is.

111
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 10: You see injury, something that could sign to Sunday.

112
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 9: I don't know yet to see John.

113
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 5: The league changes so much your year alone every ten years.

114
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 14: Or so, it's the last time you were in this game,

115
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 14: Like do you do you can you use that experience

116
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 14: for this week or is it just like too much

117
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 14: time as fast a different food.

118
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 10: But it's not that it's not as relevant as you

119
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 10: might think. It's come up like a championship game. Yeah, yeah,

120
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 10: like yeah, since you've done well.

121
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess you can in the sense

122
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: of the perspective of of U the opportunity, you know,

123
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: and how far you've come and the opportunity to go further,

124
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: how valuable that want to know is right now? I

125
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: want to know is really valuable and you've you've you've

126
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: made it valuable because all the investments you've made going

127
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: into it. Right, So this this particular one to know,

128
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's a bigger benefit than want

129
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: to know maybe second or third week of this season,

130
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: even though that was really an important one to know.

131
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: So our guys understand that. But that's just kind of intuitive.

132
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: I don't think you have to necessarily play in one

133
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: of these to know that.

134
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 5: But we're just.

135
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: Focused on the game itself, the opponent, our our our responsibilities,

136
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: our assignments, our techniques, and trying to be as ready

137
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: as we can to play a good football game.

138
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 7: John, who gives the better pre game speech?

139
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 10: Between you and Rokwon?

140
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: He's the best?

141
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: Well he's the best now, I mean him and Ray

142
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: would be probably the better comparison. You have to at

143
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: some point in time that would be really interesting, like

144
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 2: have a pregame speech off right between Ray and Roe Kwan.

145
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: You could sell that length before you have got time

146
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: for it.

147
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: That's right, that's a good question. All right, thanks everybody appreciate.

148
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: It, I would say, coach John Harball. We also heard

149
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: from the coordinators that's kick things off a special teams

150
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: coordinator Chris Horton.

151
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 9: Good to see everyone.

152
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Uh, what questions you f.

153
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 7: Chris when you have vantaged point what happened on the.

154
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 5: Pump return touchdown?

155
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: You know one of the things is, uh, you know,

156
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 6: everything we do obviously always starts with you know, uh,

157
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 6: giving guys punt direction. And I think when the ball

158
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 6: when the ball didn't go where they expected it to go,

159
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 6: I mean pretty much all eleven guys at that point

160
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 6: there was there was a breakdown and that ball got

161
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 6: to uh Sims pretty quickly. Uh, and he was able

162
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 6: to just kind of hit us, split us right up

163
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 6: the middle. You know, It's just it's just a combination

164
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 6: of uh, everything going wrong at at the same time.

165
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, and.

166
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 6: Those when those things happen on those plays, Uh, you

167
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: kind of just kind of go back and you look

168
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 6: and you ask, and you say, hey, man, we gotta

169
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 6: we gotta defend this play better, regardless of word that

170
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 6: ball is, we need to make adjustments a lot quicker.

171
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 6: And that's really what happened on that play.

172
00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 14: Chris.

173
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 8: Give the couple of games with some of the weather,

174
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 8: feel like they're pretty well prepared in case what they're

175
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 8: being rained in the forecast to.

176
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 6: Get you know, I would think so, you know, we've had,

177
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: we've had an opportunity to play in in some of

178
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: these games with with weather, and you know, we just

179
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 6: gotta we gotta go out there no matter what the

180
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 6: what the conditions are. You know, we got to do

181
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 6: our best to execute at a high at a high level.

182
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 6: Every team is going to be at that at the

183
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 6: same advantage point, right uh with the weather. But I

184
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 6: think we're pretty prepared for it, and I think our

185
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 6: guys will be ready to handle it.

186
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 7: These games this time of year, they tend to usually

187
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 7: come down to the kicker at times. I mean, what

188
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 7: how does it feel to to have a guy like

189
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 7: Justin Tuckle on your sidelines knowing it could come down.

190
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: To his leg? Yeah?

191
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 6: With Justin Man, the one thing you know about him

192
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 6: is he's always ready for the moment.

193
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 9: These situations.

194
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 6: This guy, this guy lives for he prepares for uh

195
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: daily and on Sundays, Man, when the lights are, when

196
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 6: the lights are at their biggest stage, Man, he shows

197
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 6: up and uh, you know, if his numbers and and

198
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 6: and that's what we need, I think he's gonna go

199
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 6: out there with all three of those guys, you know,

200
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 6: because it starts with the snap, then the hole didn't

201
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: the kick. But having him around, man, it's a it's

202
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 6: obviously a luxury.

203
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 8: Cool.

204
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 9: All right, thank you coach.

205
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: Thanks guys.

206
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: That was Chris Harden. We also heard from defensive coordinator

207
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald.

208
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 15: All Right, good to see everybody.

209
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: Scaring enough to play.

210
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 9: This weekend.

211
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 13: But have you talked about the fact that you may

212
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 13: be going against your own old Boston sometime next season?

213
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 10: And Uh no, I haven't.

214
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 5: I actually didn't even know what you're talking about, is

215
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: the question?

216
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 11: Like he just talks about road Fund's leadership and what

217
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 11: you feel like he's done to kind of lift up

218
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 11: the rest of the defense, the rest of the.

219
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: Players that uh tough to find a place to start.

220
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 15: I mean, he's he's the guy we look to, you know,

221
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 15: when when we need something to be said, he knows

222
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 15: what to say. And when I think, I think, you know,

223
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 15: what's cheeky about him is what shows up on the

224
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 15: field has backed up all the talk. When you play

225
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 15: the style football that he plays, you know, it's contagious

226
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 15: and the guys see it and it pops off off

227
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 15: the screen. We talk about expectations and playing like a raven.

228
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 15: You know that that's what it is, so you don't

229
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 15: need to explain it. You just show it and the

230
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 15: guys understand it so well.

231
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 10: You prepare for the putum, like I presume you need

232
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 10: to start with the quarterback. You look at the list

233
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 10: of things he does well and try to take that

234
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 10: away as you prepare for a patrickball home where.

235
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 15: He well, it's a long list of the stuff that

236
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 15: he does well. It's a great question. You know, if

237
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 15: if we had the answer, if people the answer was

238
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 15: out there, you know, he probably wouldn't be in this game,

239
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 15: you know, so or.

240
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: Have the consistent success that he's had.

241
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 15: So hats off to them, and and the type of

242
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 15: player is an ultimate comp editor.

243
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 5: Uh so you know, we have our handsful. It's a

244
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 5: great challenge.

245
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 15: You know, there's things situationally obviously that you feel like

246
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 15: that we do well that you're gonna want to be

247
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 15: able to, you know, exploit, you know, given those certain situations. Uh,

248
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 15: but you're right, it's it's a it's a lengthy list

249
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 15: for sure, of all the of the things that he

250
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 15: does really well.

251
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: Mike, talking to players yesterday, they did say that it

252
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: does benefit them when they face a guy like Mahomes

253
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 4: that they have to face like guy like Lamar every

254
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: day in practice.

255
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 10: Is there anything to that?

256
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 4: I mean, in your eyes, does it help your defense

257
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: that they've seen Lamar every day since? You know OTAs

258
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 4: in minicamp?

259
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 15: You know probably you know, I mean just one just

260
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 15: when you're when you think about training camp and you

261
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 15: know you're great in your in your scoring practice, and

262
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 15: you know, practices get competitive, and you know that the

263
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 15: cadence of the play becomes a little longer when he's

264
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 15: able to hold the ball and sometimes we think it's

265
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 15: a sack, but it's really you know, Harp says it's

266
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 15: not and play it out. Yeah, of course, I mean

267
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 15: those are those are things that you have to you

268
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 15: have to be able to adjust to and and and

269
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 15: you know play kind of the extended plays.

270
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 5: But I wouldn't put too much stock into that.

271
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 15: I mean, were's so much time we're spending a part

272
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 15: and on book teams and things. I would say that,

273
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 15: you know, our backup quarterbacks do a great job every

274
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 15: week of studying you know the quarterbacks mechanisms and kind

275
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 15: of how they operate and where they like to go

276
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 15: with the ball.

277
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 5: So shout out to those guys.

278
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 10: Mike Rokwan called you a magic scientist yesterday, Say what's

279
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 10: just in the.

280
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: Right spots and let's just kind of be who we are.

281
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 10: I can see the look in your face as well.

282
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: They all say, we know big things.

283
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 9: Are coming from him in the future. How do you

284
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 9: view that and what do you bring to a squat

285
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 9: if you have to be from the head coach?

286
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 15: Well, well, it's it's it's it's humblings flattering to hear that.

287
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 15: You know, as a coach, you're you're just you're trying

288
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 15: to put your guys in spots where they can be successful.

289
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 15: And like that's that's the viewpoint. That's why we do

290
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 15: what we do. You know, when they have success, you

291
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 15: have success, and and that's that's what.

292
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 5: We're trying to do here. That's why you know all

293
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 5: this is here.

294
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 15: That is why you guys are here, you know, and

295
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 15: that's that's what rewarding to us. So when you feel,

296
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 15: when you hear things that your players feel like you're

297
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 15: helping them have success like that, that means a lot.

298
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 5: But like I said, I mean, it's it's a it

299
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: is a team effort.

300
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 15: Man there's a lot of information that has to be

301
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 15: kind of cultivated and broken down and then deciphered and

302
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 15: then give to them. At the same time, I'm in

303
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 15: charge of organizing it and making sure, you know, it

304
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 15: gets them the right way, and ultimately making the call

305
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 15: on Sundays. But to answer your question, yeah, it feels

306
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 15: great that we're helping our players have success for sure.

307
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 12: The Chiefs Bills game was the a lot of the

308
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 12: Ex's and Nozon only seemed very excited by what they

309
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 12: saw from the Chiefs the way they would, I guess

310
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 12: make changes to the line of scrimmage to maybe target

311
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 12: individual defenders. I mean, do you kind of go into

312
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 12: your game expecting or preparing for them to do that again,

313
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 12: or do you assume you'll see something fairly different from them.

314
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 15: Well, the great thing about their offense is they're able

315
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 15: to It looks like they carry a lot of volume,

316
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 15: but it's similar concepts packaged differently, which I think any

317
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 15: good scheme is going to do. Because you can't run

318
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 15: every play known to mankind all the time. You have

319
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 15: to eventually you got to, you know, kind of keep

320
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 15: it in your wheelhouse. So they do a great job

321
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 15: of hiding what they're what their intents are, and obviously

322
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 15: you know they understand how to attack coverages and stuff

323
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 15: they got. They do a great job of scheming up

324
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 15: routes and things like that. So we'll see, we'll see

325
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 15: things that we haven't seen, you know, presented early in

326
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 15: the snap that you know you're just gonna have to

327
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 15: play your rules out and uh hopefully you know you're

328
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 15: in a position to make the play initially after it snapped,

329
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 15: and then if the ball is extended, you know, be

330
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 15: able to attach the guys and crawl the quarterback.

331
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: Back to the world.

332
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 13: Find you guys have invested more just as a franchiser

333
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 13: that in sideline back the spot, which what has that

334
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 13: done for the Whether they should.

335
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 10: Just happen to election.

336
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 15: As a good that has like a tree, Well, I

337
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 15: am sure I have zero to do with how we

338
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 15: invest any any any penny that goes into the salary cap.

339
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 5: Uh. Yeah, Like I said, we.

340
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 15: Love having great players that can you know, that play

341
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 15: great football, play the way we want to play.

342
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 5: So it's our chart.

343
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 15: It's you know, our responsibility as coaches to put them

344
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 15: in spots where they can go be successful and you know,

345
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 15: given the decisions that we made, like we'll go coach

346
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 15: them up and get them ready to roll. But yeah, absolutely,

347
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 15: I mean you look at the middle of our defense.

348
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 15: We got some I mean throughout the whole defense, but

349
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 15: the middle of our defense especially are great players, man,

350
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 15: and they deserve a lot of credit for kind of

351
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 15: forcing the ball out on the perimeter, which is when

352
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 15: I was part of our philosophy.

353
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: So uh yeah, I mean they're just fun guys to

354
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 5: work with. For sure.

355
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 12: What does that phrase, uh, play the rules out or

356
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 12: I forget exactly who to put up a week we

357
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 12: hear your players say that again and again too. I

358
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 12: mean I think Queen said it after after the last game.

359
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 12: Does it kind of warm your heart to hear them

360
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 12: say that?

361
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: I mean does it? Does it sort of show that

362
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: it's gotten through?

363
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 10: Oh?

364
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 5: It tells me they know what to do, which is good,

365
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: you know.

366
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, It's just you know, you know, what do you

367
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 15: you're gonna go out? Where do you go, where do

368
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 15: you go stand? Where do you look at? You know

369
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 15: when that guy does something? How do you know how

370
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 15: to react to it? It's just those are your rules,

371
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 15: you know, And to me, if if it's clear on

372
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 15: where your expectations are and how to do what we

373
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 15: expect you to do, then you can.

374
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 5: Go play fast and you'll play the right way.

375
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 15: So yeah, if they if they know what their rules are,

376
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,119
Speaker 15: then that's that's definitely the first step to be successful.

377
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 10: Kids seem lay with a lot of twelve for two

378
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 10: personnel defense.

379
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 11: Buffalo, What kind of what do they need to put

380
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 11: stress on that those defensive I guess how well do

381
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 11: you get you guys to evolve the defense?

382
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 9: That's kind of that agency.

383
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, anytime people are changing.

384
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 15: Personnels on you, you got to make the decision are we

385
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 15: how are we gonna match it with the people that

386
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 15: we're gonna put on the field. So without giving you

387
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 15: the answer of how we're gonna do it, those are

388
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 15: the decisions you have to make.

389
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: And then you know where the stresses of the calls

390
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: you're gonna make and things like that.

391
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 15: So and a lot of times you know it's gonna

392
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 15: morph and evolve over the course of the game. After

393
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 15: you make a decision, you kind of see how they

394
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 15: make their decision. You're kind of playing off one another

395
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 15: as a game starts to unfold. So you know, we

396
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 15: have an initial plan and how we're gonna play it,

397
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 15: and then obviously it'll evolve is as the game starts

398
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 15: to declare itself, like you've.

399
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 10: Got guys step on us and Place and Marl and

400
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 10: you think, missing.

401
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: So much time a year of how valuable, how it

402
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 4: setting would you get hick back.

403
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 8: He's bountil this week did just how versative he is

404
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 8: going back fort.

405
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 15: Well, it'd be great to have more on back And

406
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 15: you think about just the season he's had. He's had

407
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 15: a lot of adversity and you know he hasn't had

408
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 15: it's been different than his experiences of the years past.

409
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 15: So you know, if he is ready to come back, man,

410
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 15: it'd be awesome just to see it and be back

411
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 15: and feel like you can you know, you know, contribute

412
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 15: physically on game day.

413
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 6: But Mike yel have had success with the cornerback blitz

414
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 6: a couple of times a game without giving away too

415
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: much of it.

416
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: How do you decide when to run that is at

417
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: a high risk?

418
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 9: Hyer work, Can you share much about your hornack blitz?

419
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, sure, I've spoken to our kind of pressure philosophy

420
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 15: in the past. You know, it's a it's a team

421
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 15: rush mentality. So even when we're rushing four. You know,

422
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 15: we want the illusion of pressure a lot of times

423
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 15: and just have the threat of blitzing off one side,

424
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 15: blitzing off on the side, coming up the middle double edge,

425
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 15: or bluffing out of there. I mean, we want that

426
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 15: threat to be at all times. So in order to

427
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 15: have that threat, you have to do it.

428
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, so guys aren't just calling your

429
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 5: bluff all the time.

430
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 9: One more from Mike.

431
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 10: I know what's sad? Uh?

432
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 9: No pressure?

433
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 10: You look look at the film for you guys. Obviously

434
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 10: tight ends are understanding.

435
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 11: It's part of how that type of offenses to see

436
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 11: brook on p F how gets the best and make

437
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 11: it difficult to lose those passes. You're not kind of

438
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 11: gonna need a part of field. How you need the

439
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 11: skill is at and I guess what how port could

440
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 11: that be a game with the tight end?

441
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 15: TRN Still don't you ask him about the tight end

442
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 15: or how we put the linebacker.

443
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 5: To hit their spots and make somebody offense?

444
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, I mean you're you're trying not to show

445
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 15: your intentions, uh until the till the ball snapped. So again,

446
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 15: go back to rules and how we want guys to

447
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 15: play things. It's just playing discipline football, understand, you know

448
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 15: where you're kind of one eleven fits in the whole

449
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 15: the whole puzzle, and then trusting that the guys around

450
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 15: you're gonna do it. And then I think what you

451
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 15: see on tape and over the course of time, if

452
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 15: you keep doing it right, you know, it's hard to

453
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 15: it's hard to find the right spots to you know,

454
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 15: matriculate the ball down the field.

455
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 5: And that's the whole idea.

456
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: That was DC and Mike McDonald. We also heard from

457
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Todd Monkett.

458
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 9: All right, because I have to start with all right.

459
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 9: I don't know why. It just feels like I can't start.

460
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 13: With that.

461
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 10: Later the season anywhere. Is it a bigger challenge facing

462
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 10: anything you have not seen yet before?

463
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 16: In some ways, In some ways it is, you're starting

464
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 16: it's a normal week, I guess is the best way

465
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 16: to put. It's a normal week of someone you haven't

466
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 16: played and then getting up to speed with.

467
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 9: Uh, with who they are. In some ways that's you

468
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 9: know that way.

469
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 16: In another way you're like, okay, we're not playing someone

470
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 16: that really knows us.

471
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 9: You know.

472
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 16: In some ways you know they have the same issues

473
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 16: we do. You know, they haven't seen us before other

474
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 16: than maybe some crossover tape.

475
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 10: You most about the Chiefs defense.

476
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 16: How they do it collect I mean, what a great

477
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 16: job they've done collectively. They're coaches and I know a

478
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 16: number of those guys and they're outstanding coaches. They got

479
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 16: outstanding players. They're very disruptive. You have to have I

480
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 16: don't want to say this, whatever you're going to run,

481
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 16: you better have the answers for what they're going to

482
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 16: give you. So they're certainly and it isn't you know

483
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 16: something that's a game or two. I mean, when you're

484
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 16: fourth in the league in yards per play and I

485
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 16: don't know how many games they haven't given up twenty points,

486
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 16: but you can see it on tape, how hard they play,

487
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 16: they tackle well, they're well coached, and they're very disruptive.

488
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 12: For Lamar's perspective on the adjustments you guys are able

489
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 12: to make at halftime in the last game, John's perspective,

490
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 12: But haven't gotten to talk to you with what you know,

491
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 12: what positive changes were you guys able to make at

492
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 12: half time?

493
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 16: Well, we just we called it better. We executed better.

494
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 16: I mean that's really what it was. I mean, it's

495
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 16: it's always that in my mind. You know, you look

496
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 16: back at certain calls you know that you would have

497
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 16: done differently possibly. But then also you know there were

498
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 16: things that everybody taking turns that doesn't allow you to

499
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 16: stack plays.

500
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 9: That's that's really it.

501
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 16: Some of us getting the ball out, some of it

502
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 16: was just execution, and sometimes it's just momentum.

503
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 9: You know, you get momentum on your side.

504
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 16: You you know which to me started off the second

505
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 16: half the kickoff return, get it out of our hands

506
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 16: to Nelson and then the big play by Zay that

507
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 16: get you fired up. You know, it eliminates some of

508
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 16: the anxiety. And then when we got down there, we

509
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 16: scored touchdowns. That's that's the other big part of is

510
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 16: you're you're able to separate, you know. I think about

511
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 16: the Miami game when you know it was there in

512
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 16: the balance and they kicked a couple of field goals

513
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 16: and we got a touchdown on a seventy five yard play,

514
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 16: got the ball back and got that fourth down, and

515
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 16: we scored touchdowns and all of a sudden, you gain

516
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 16: some separation there when you're able to when you're able

517
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 16: to score touchdowns and keep their offense off the field.

518
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 16: That was big, you know, running the ball, getting the

519
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 16: ball of our hands and controlling the game.

520
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 11: Anxiety as you put together your game plan and think

521
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 11: about your guer play calls, do you.

522
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 10: Factor that inspect in human nature? There's going to be

523
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 10: a higher level of anxiety to start a championship game.

524
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 9: Oh, I don't.

525
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 16: Pretty much every game we kind of think of it

526
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 16: the same way, you know, how we want to start

527
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 16: the game and try and start fast. We've been pretty

528
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 16: good at that. I don't know where we rank, but

529
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 16: we've been pretty good at starting. We've had some games

530
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 16: not so much, but trying to get Lamar off to

531
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 16: a fast start and us off to a fast start,

532
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 16: get the lead.

533
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 9: But I feel like that's maybe every game.

534
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 16: You have a little bit of anxiety at the start

535
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 16: of the game and so try to get the guys,

536
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 16: you know, comfortable when you.

537
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 7: Guys as a team are going up against the quarterback

538
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 7: like patching Maholmes. How does does that impact you and

539
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 7: your offensive game plan and how you may call the

540
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 7: game at all?

541
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 16: Not really, I mean as the game goes it might,

542
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 16: you know, in terms of where you're at. Not not initially,

543
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 16: I mean I get where you're going with it in

544
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 16: terms of the anticipation of whatever, maybe that they're never

545
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 16: out of a game or they're able to score. Sure,

546
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 16: all those things are part of it, But until we

547
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 16: get to that point, we're more concerned about each drive.

548
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 9: We have, what we have to do offensively.

549
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 17: I know you guys are hoping that then Mark, you know,

550
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 17: would be healthy enough for per Sunday, has Isaiah likely

551
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 17: as emergency since Mark's been out. Maybe kind of breathing

552
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 17: to there bade you when you think about how those

553
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 17: two might fit together on the field, and.

554
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 10: That you guys haven't did it with a lot of them,

555
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 10: all these passing steps.

556
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 16: Sure, you know, I think all that figures in how

557
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 16: well he's played, and then leading up to each like

558
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 16: last week or leading up to this week, how well

559
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 16: Mark's practice. That all leads into Okay, at every position, really,

560
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 16: who's healthy, how do we anticipate that fitting into our

561
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 16: game plan, and how can we incorporate them in the.

562
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 8: Experience from the past two years of going to the

563
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 8: National Title game and just calling place in high leverage

564
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 8: you know, spots and situations.

565
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 16: Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, it's felt

566
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 16: like every game we've had has been high leverage. I

567
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 16: don't know, it's the NFL. I mean, I don't you know.

568
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 16: I mean, we've had a lot of games this year

569
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 16: that it feels like at some point in the game,

570
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 16: you know, very rarely is it not that way? Last

571
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 16: week felt like that at halftime in the second drive.

572
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 9: You know, that's high leverage.

573
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 16: I mean, you know, when we got to the back

574
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 16: end of the year and being on the road at

575
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 16: San Francisco and Jacksonville and you know, playing home against

576
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 16: the Rams. I mean, you're going to have a number

577
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 16: of those, And so I don't know if I can

578
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 16: draw back from the last couple of years per se

579
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 16: that would be any different than the games we've played

580
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 16: this year better and stand again where you're going with that.

581
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 16: But you know, again, it is what it is. I mean,

582
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 16: a lot of big games. It just happens to be

583
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 16: one of them along those lines.

584
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 10: I don't know if we've ever asked you, have you

585
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 10: in a or teach you in Mike ever.

586
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 11: Talk about you guys taking together in the flush bum

587
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 11: PLAYFF and one funny one and find yourself.

588
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 16: Got yeah, a little bit, just joking around a little

589
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 16: bit once when I was interviewing, and it's kind of

590
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 16: an awkward conversation, you know. It's, uh, it'd be the

591
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 16: other way too for me, you know. I mean it's uh,

592
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 16: you know, and we had you know, they were really good,

593
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 16: but we had a generational defense. I mean, all those

594
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 16: guys were, you know, for a lot of first round

595
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 16: picks on that and we were just starting to get

596
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 16: really good on offense, and the next year we were

597
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 16: a lot better. So you know, it's you know, just

598
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 16: like I said, sometimes you're they did a great job.

599
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 16: I mean, holy cow, I mean, because they got so

600
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 16: much better on defense, and they did a coaching wise

601
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 16: is why they got to that point. But you know,

602
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 16: we were pretty good as well. But uh, yeah, we

603
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 16: don't really talk about it too much.

604
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 12: Jo about the ongoing rotation to the tackles. Was that

605
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 12: kind of something that you guys did by necessity that's

606
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 12: turned out maybe even better than you could have imagined

607
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 12: it would turn out, or.

608
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 9: I think somewhat.

609
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 16: I think somewhat, you know, taking a little bit of

610
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 16: the pressure off those guys.

611
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 9: It was it was already happening in practice.

612
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 16: It was already happening where you're having a hard time

613
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 16: getting through all the reps in practice, so those guys

614
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 16: were already getting reps, so it just became more natural

615
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 16: to allow that to occur in the games.

616
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: So did you have a king knows who I'm going

617
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 6: into doing that, Scott Ymon don't like to come out.

618
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 16: You'll have to ask those guys, I mean to an extent,

619
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 16: I mean, I don't mean that like from a negative standpoint.

620
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 16: I think in critical situations, I think that would be true.

621
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 16: I think that would be I think in some scenarios,

622
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 16: I think they enjoyed having a little bit of a break,

623
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 16: you know, with their body because it was happening during

624
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 16: the week anyways, to an extent, so you know, you'd

625
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 16: have to ask those guys whether they were frustrated or not.

626
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 16: I know last week in the second half, I mean

627
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 16: they went you know, and that was the anticipation trying

628
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 16: try and get through the year. We thought there was

629
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 16: you know, we needed to get them to the back half.

630
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 16: There's really what happens. We needed to get them to

631
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 16: the back half of the year, back end of the year,

632
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 16: not half hell, back end of the year.

633
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: I'll bet coach, is this easier to make halftime adjustments?

634
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 3: Versus in game adjustments.

635
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 9: It's I don't even know what to say.

636
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 16: I mean, when it works out like that's that was

637
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 16: great halftime adjustments. I mean, I don't I don't know.

638
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 16: We just played better, you know, we just executed better.

639
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 16: We got a few plays that kind of got us going.

640
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 16: Momentum is a powerful thing, you know, when you're you're

641
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 16: moving it, you're getting stops, you're making adjustments during the

642
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 16: first half. Now you are collectively as a staff talking

643
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 16: through things, what you want to get to, what we

644
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 16: haven't gotten to. That's a little easier to take a breath,

645
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 16: But I don't know that there has been. It wasn't

646
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 16: like even in the second half that we weren't talking,

647
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 16: if that makes sense. So it's ongoing halftimes A part

648
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 16: of it. What you do during the week is a

649
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 16: big part of it. What you're doing during the games a.

650
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 9: Part of it.

651
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 16: What you want to get to is a big part

652
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 16: of it. Momentum is a big part of it. And

653
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 16: like my wife says, I don't know why you just

654
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 16: don't call the plays at work. Just seems that simple.

655
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 16: I mean, just why would you call anything but the

656
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 16: plays that work? I said, you're right, honey, as usual,

657
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 16: you're right.

658
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: In the locker room. Today, we also heard from some

659
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: of the players, including cornerback Marlon Humphrey.

660
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 3: Marlin has the cap to it's doing good. Marlon.

661
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 13: That's when I got Lane Kiffin. I wanted him to

662
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 13: be the Bama coach. I told him, he said, coming

663
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 13: to Bama. But then like an hour later, they already

664
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 13: had the new coach. So but I still Land is

665
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 13: my guy. But you know, I still believe Crimson, still

666
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 13: big Crimson.

667
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 9: Marln.

668
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 14: Do you just talk about the challenge of of Payson

669
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 14: Patrick Mahomes if you do play of course, and what

670
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 14: he poses.

671
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 13: You know, I feel like I don't know why I

672
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 13: was thinking about this on the field, but I feel

673
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 13: like the Chiefs, you know, over the years are like

674
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 13: are the the.

675
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: College football version of Alabama.

676
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 13: It's like every year and a year out, you know,

677
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 13: they might be like, ah, they're not looking that good,

678
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 13: They're not this.

679
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 3: You know, they're still that team.

680
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 13: They're still the team to beat, you know, whether they're losing,

681
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 13: whether they're winning, they're they're still the Chiefs and they're

682
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 13: you know, they're the team to beat.

683
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 3: You know, they're super Bowl champs.

684
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 13: I think and for us to beat them, it's it's

685
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 13: gonna take you know, everybody firing and all cylinders.

686
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: You know, Mahomes, you know, I think him and.

687
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 13: Lamar, I think those two quarterbacks are it's those super

688
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 13: quarterbacks and then everybody else. So when we're playing the

689
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 13: you know, one or two the best, the best quarterbacks,

690
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 13: you know, both the the two best quarterbacks in the

691
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 13: foot in all the world are gonna be on the

692
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 13: same field. And so we're facing one and they're facing

693
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 13: the other. So it's a I think it'll be a

694
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 13: a match up, uh, A match up, A really good

695
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 13: match up.

696
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 14: Mom are A ask you the the the defensive last

697
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 14: couple of days, just about that skill set that Mahomes

698
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 14: has and you guys face that skill set every day

699
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 14: facing Lamar.

700
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: How much does it help in practice seeing that and

701
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: and plays that he's.

702
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 14: Able to extend stuff like that? How much does that

703
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 14: help in practice seeing that and l you know, it's

704
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 14: gonna benefit on Sunday.

705
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: And it's good to see that.

706
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say the the biggest difference is, you know,

707
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 13: ain't nobody been to touch Lamar in practice? You know,

708
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 13: we would try to say pretty pretty far away from him,

709
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 13: but uh, you know, obviously m Lamar's a lot fashion

710
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 13: than Mahomes, but Mahomes, it's it's like what he's able

711
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 13: to do. Hey, he's able to you know, evade pressure.

712
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 13: I was telling some of the guys, you know when

713
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 13: you come off the blitz, you know, Mahomes or or

714
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 13: pump fank Yo, and I was I was telling him about.

715
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: My own experience.

716
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 13: You know, I had a really good hit QB hitter

717
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 13: on Mahomes a couple of years ago. But the tragic

718
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 13: part was he threw a touch out at before I

719
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 13: hit him.

720
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: So he he he. He does a lot of things

721
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 3: with the ball obviously, what he can do.

722
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 13: You know, when I started seeing him in the aus

723
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 13: in practicing running backwards and throwing the ball, I knew

724
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 13: the league was in trouble. So the subf he does

725
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 13: on the field is is it's pretty crazy. But I

726
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 13: think we've got uh, We've gotten some pretty good looks

727
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 13: at it with uh Lamar. But obviously it'll be a

728
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 13: little different when uh it's a lot of bullets.

729
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 11: Marrow.

730
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 7: You talked about the respect you have for the Chiefs.

731
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 7: You know, obviously to win this game be big in itself,

732
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 7: but doesn't need anymore to to beat the defendant champ,

733
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 7: to beat the team that you know, HA has been on.

734
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: Top of a while. Yeah, I mean be huge.

735
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 13: I just you know, I'm just super excited to to

736
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 13: to hopefully get out there. It's been to beat them.

737
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 13: For the city, for the fans, it's been it's been electric.

738
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 13: I feel like, you know, the fans, they always they

739
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 13: talk about you know, this moment, this moment, this is

740
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 13: our year, this is our year, and you know, to

741
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 13: to finally get here, to be able to have it

742
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 13: in in M ANDT Bank Stadium in front of our

743
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 13: fans and our home color, it's just it's a it's

744
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 13: a really exciting moment. I was texting with uh Eric

745
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 13: last night and I was s Harves Alway says, don't

746
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 13: peak too early, and I was he almost had me

747
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 13: peeking too early, just getting too excited for the game.

748
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: But it's, uh it, it's just really special.

749
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 13: All all the things about it, the defendant Chiefs and

750
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 13: my homes, our fans, is just it's it's so many

751
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 13: things aligning. I think it's just gonna take everyone's best

752
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 13: best put forward to beat this team.

753
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 18: Marylan Marlan you've been here for the a whole sort

754
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 18: of rise and putting together with this team, I mean

755
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 18: up the ups and downs of it. So how painful

756
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 18: was it to not be able to play the second

757
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 18: half of the Miami game?

758
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 3: You know it was the playoff game last week? And

759
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: you know, did you d did you think you might

760
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: be close to the Miami game of one play? I mean,

761
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: what what does the sort of this whole experience.

762
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 13: Been money, Yeah, it's been rough. I've been kind of

763
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 13: trying to just stay positive through it. It's it's it's

764
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 13: definitely not not been ideal uh for me, But I think, uh,

765
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 13: the the best thing that's kind of really helped me

766
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 13: get through it is honestly telling me to get through

767
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 13: the most just seeing how the guys are playing on Sunday.

768
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 13: It's like, I mean, I obviously watch the defense a

769
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 13: little closer than the offense, cause I know what's going

770
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 13: on the defense, But the way those guys have been

771
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 13: flying around, it's it's been it's really been inspiring to

772
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 13: see that you can have the comfortability to just shoot

773
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 13: your shot and if if you miss, there's Rod coming,

774
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 13: there's peak you coming. It's been there's so much just

775
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 13: it seems like the defense has just been flying around crazy,

776
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 13: and I think, you know, that's something that's really changed

777
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 13: since we added roconn to our audition. You know, he

778
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 13: runs the ball like I. There's no one it's not

779
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 13: even like a debate. No one runs to the ball

780
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 13: the way Roquan Smith does. And that's that's literally been contagious.

781
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 13: It's actually been contagious to to everybody on the defense,

782
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 13: how everyone's game is elevated since he's come, since he's

783
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 13: been our leader on defense, and so just that's really

784
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 13: what's been keeping me going. Man, It's like, I gotta

785
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 13: do whatever I can to get back out there, cause

786
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 13: the way these guys are playing, I just wanna be

787
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 13: a part of that.

788
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a sort of how you feel on

789
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: some day. Is it gonna be a like a pre

790
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 3: game workout that kind of thing or is it? Yeah?

791
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 13: I usually let all that happen with with Harbes and

792
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 13: the medical team and then uh, I go from there.
