1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Coach, how are you doing good? Good? Dude, Christian, how 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: you doing good? Good? It's nice? W there a week, 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: get to enjoy a little bit of a little bit 4 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: of time after that one. I'm sure it felt good. Yeah, well, 5 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: it's always good to string a couple of games together 6 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: and short week. It's uh, it's it's challenging, but it 7 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: was not our best, but it was good enough and 8 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: so we'll take it. Hey, you guys got off to 9 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: that good start early on, right down the field, scored 10 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: that touchdown. It's nice to have. Obviously, Julian Edmond back 11 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: into mix. It looks like you guys came out throwing 12 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: in mind. Yeah, it's always good to move the ball 13 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: and score points. So however that happens is uh, is 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: good and we're able to capitalize on a couple of 15 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: turnovers turn those into points. Uh. You know, after we 16 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: got the John Jones interception and Sony scored on the 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: next play. So good complimentary football. So so the backs 18 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: James White and Sony are doing a great job. Um 19 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: now I said this on Friday, these guys laughed at me. Okay, 20 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: I know you don't do that to me, right Because 21 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: Lombardi agreed with me. Also, yes, he did somewhat. When 22 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: I look at James White, just as far as the 23 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: way he runs his patients, you know, waiting on blocks, 24 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: running the screen, his ability to catch the ball and 25 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: adjust his routes, he reminded me a little bit of 26 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Marshall Falk. Okay, I'm not saying that he's going to 27 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: go into the Hall of Fame, but there's some similar 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: qualities that I saw in him with Marshall Falk. Now, 29 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm just asking you, like, do you see any of 30 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: that at all in him? At all? Well, James is 31 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: a very versatile player, no doubt about that. So he 32 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: can run, catch, pass, protect, play out of the backfield, 33 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: play in the backfield, So he has a lot of skill. 34 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: Is there any I mean, could he? Is he either type? 35 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: I know, you guys, it's more of a situational thing 36 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: for him. So I'm gonna take that as a yes, 37 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: he does remind you of Marshall. But well, I mean yeah, 38 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: because I know Marshall ran a lot between the tackles. 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: You only have two backs right now in your rock, 40 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: so I don't know if there's another guy, do you 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: do you get nervous at all? About only having two 42 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: guys back there, you know, just in case one of 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: those guys get hurt. Now, can James White be a 44 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, every down guy first and third? Um, Well, when, 45 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: as you know Christian, you get into a game, you 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do to win, and that's 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: you know what your situation we're in last week. So 48 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: we had two backs. They both did a good job 49 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: for us. I think if you lose two players at 50 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: any position, if any team loses two players at any 51 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: position in the NFL, they're probably in trouble. So, um, 52 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, you liked to have as much depth as 53 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: you can. If you have one play as you just 54 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: don't have it somewhere else. So if we were to 55 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 1: have it a one position, we'd just be giving it 56 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: up somewhere else. So you just have to figure out 57 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: where you're where your best spot is. That's what it 58 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: felt like it was for Indianapolis. Whether it'll be the 59 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: case going forward, I don't know, Probably not, but we'll see. Yeah, 60 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: we actually wasn't surprised because you know, I think a 61 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: couple of years back, I think you only had one quarterback. 62 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: I think we're sett I think in that one game 63 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: when Jimmy got hurt. So it's just sometimes it just 64 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: seems like you're not really concerned, you know, about depth 65 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: in a single game because you just believe in the 66 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: game plan. Oh well, I think you're concerned about it, 67 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: but you just again you pick our spots where you 68 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: can have death, and where you can have it, you 69 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: have it, and where you can't have it, then you 70 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: have to figure out another way to work around it 71 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: if it were to come up. I know, going into 72 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: that game with Julian Edwind, coming back to some people 73 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, how much, how much would they 74 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: ever use this guy? But did the factor in the 75 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: fact that he was actually at camp and it wasn't 76 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: like he was just working at at home for all 77 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: that time, but he had a camp underneath them and 78 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: he was ready to go because it seemed like he 79 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: played a lot. Oh well, being it camp definitely help. Yeah, 80 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: oh absolutely, yeah, no question. Same thing when you know 81 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: about other players Rob Tom, guys like that come back 82 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: from a similar situation where they're in camp and then 83 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: miss the games. That's different than missing all the camp certainly. 84 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: And I know last week I think we were talking 85 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: about how much you'd get him in and um, he 86 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: just looked like he's been there for forever. Looked like 87 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: the old school with Julian Edelman. Did you what did 88 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: you see from him? I think there were some good things. 89 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: There's there are some things that we all need to 90 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: work on. Again, it was a Thursday night game. There 91 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: were a lot of things that that could be a 92 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: little bit sharper and need to be a little bit. 93 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: We'll need the player best football this week against Kansas City, 94 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: so hopefully we can get to that point. So Brady 95 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: goes for a fifth five hu touchdown pass. I mean, 96 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: did you ever think when you drafted this guy as 97 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: late as you did, that this is what you'd be 98 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: looking at five hundred career touchdown passes? Yeah, well, of 99 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: course not. We thought that we had taken him in 100 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: the first round, so well, we did a first round pick, 101 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: but they would take him in the second round. So yeah, 102 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: I don't think he'd take a player in the sixth 103 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: round and think he's going to be a Hall of 104 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: Fame player. You just don't. Nobody pictures that. But Tom's 105 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: had a great career and he's done with a lot 106 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: of different people and against a lot of different types 107 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: of defenses and different competition and so forth. So yeah, 108 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: it was that play just wrapped it all up. Seventy 109 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: one seventy one different receivers and five hundred touchdown passes, 110 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: I mean, and that to me, I think kind of 111 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: like boggles my mind more than anything. It just a 112 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: testament to him when you think about how long he's 113 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: played and how many different sets of receivers he's seen, 114 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: and yeah, he's still kind of just just kind of 115 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: gets it done. And one group comes in, those guys 116 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: adjust and they to their new environment and they're in 117 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: the new plays, and they leave and then another guy. 118 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: It's just I think it's remarkable that he's able to 119 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: continually do that for such a long period of time. 120 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: It's definitely remarkable. Yeah, it's tremendous. So what is then? 121 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: I look at Josh Gordon, I go, Okay, here's the 122 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: guy that's really athletic and he can pretty much you know, 123 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: run all the you know slants and obviously a great 124 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: touchdown pass a catch like he had, But there's also 125 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: still some adjustments that he's gonna have to learn. I guess, uh, 126 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, moving forward, So what's harder? Learning the playbook? 127 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: Just as far as what route to run or learning 128 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: to adjust to what Tom wants them to do as 129 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: a receiver in this offense. Yeah, well they both have 130 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: to be done, sooner or later they're gonna all come up. So, um, 131 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: just work on the best you can. Because people always 132 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: ask me about this offense and how it's so challenging, 133 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: and I didn't think it was challenging as far as 134 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: just the route. The route tree is a route tree, 135 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: but learning how to adjust those routes. Like James White's 136 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: touchdown in the in the Thursday Night's game, he really 137 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: did a good job of throttling down and Brady saw 138 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: the same thing and he caught that, And that's something 139 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: that's comes with a lot of experience working with Brady, 140 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: uh right. But I think it also comes down to 141 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: that specific play against that particular coverage or that game plan. 142 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: So a lot of that is is formulated a week 143 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: to week on the practice field, and if it comes 144 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: up the same in the game, hopefully you can execute it. Well. 145 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: If it's different than that's when players have to make 146 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: adjustments that maybe haven't been practiced or in some cases 147 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: haven't even been talked about. So but then did a 148 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: good job of looking off the coverag John James toushdown 149 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: pass and it was pretty much the way that we 150 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: drew it up. I would say. So, the Kansas City 151 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,119 Speaker 1: Chiefs come in here Sunday night. Um, and obviously Pat 152 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes the young quarterback, he's shown he can play on 153 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: the road. He went up against that Jacksonville defense last 154 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: night yesterday. Rather, what have you seen from Pat Mahomes 155 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: because he's sort of taken this league by storm at 156 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: this point. I think the same thing as you saw 157 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: last year in preseason. It's very athletics, got a great arm, 158 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: could throw the ball a long way and can zipping 159 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: into some tight spots. So he uses all his office receivers, 160 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: does a very good job of getting the ball moved around, 161 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: and manages the team in game situations well. And he's 162 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: athletic to extend place. Is that challenging? Obviously last year 163 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: opening game, all the all the action they have pre snap, 164 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: all the motion everywhere. Is that How important is the 165 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: communication of discipline and not sort of getting lost in 166 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: all the pre snap action they show. Yeah, well, and 167 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: he's always done a good job of that. That's always 168 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: a hard thing when you play against him. He gives 169 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: you formations and looks at challenger defense and you have 170 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: to be able to handle him. So what they are 171 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: and what they were might be two different things. You know, 172 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: you might be working on something year. I can see, 173 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: well he's cooking up something new. So we'll definitely be 174 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: challenged though on Sunday night. Yeah. So that that offense 175 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: up the running now looks nothing like the old West 176 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: Coast offense that he came from. I mean it is 177 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: morphed into this. Like Leu was talking about, lots of 178 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: motions they get to. They can really stress out a defense. 179 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: So when you have a quarterback like Mahomes who doesn't 180 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: look like he has any fear whatsoever, like plays breaks down, 181 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: he's still running around and he's gonna find somebody to 182 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: throw the football too. As far as coaching points for 183 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: the defense, like what's the most important thing for those 184 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: guys to recognize one of play breaks down like that? Um, well, 185 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: I think the most important thing for the defense is 186 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: just to play the defense and be disciplined. So whatever 187 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: your responsibility is, to hold it and do it and 188 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: count on the other ten guys to do theirs. One 189 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: guy can't stop this offense. One guy can't stop the quarterback. 190 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: It has to be team concept and everybody has still 191 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: a good job in their responsibility. Does this offense remind 192 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: you at all of the Rams, the greatest show on turf? 193 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: A lot of people are comparing it to that. Yeah, 194 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: well it's it's definitely a West Coast based I mean, 195 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: and I would say there are a lot of RPOs 196 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: in this offense which aren't West Coast plays, but if 197 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: you take those out of it, it's still a lot 198 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: of West Coast offense. You know, Coach, I wanted to 199 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: ask you because I know you've obviously in the postseason 200 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: you've had a ton of success, and you've been around 201 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: players that had a ton of success playing, and maybe 202 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: how what have you seen the biggest thing for guys 203 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: that can handle the postseason and guys that can't handle 204 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: the postseason. I'm just talking mentally. What is the difference 205 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: for maybe looking at a guy and say, yeah, he 206 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: just can't figure it out. It's a game. Just speed 207 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: up on these guys. They can't slow it down. Oh yeah, 208 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, right now, we're so far 209 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: from that it's not even worth talking about. So just 210 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: see if we can put together a good game plan, 211 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: practice well and go out competing against Kansas City. Yeah. 212 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: I was just preferring out me obviously to what's going 213 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: on into Red Sox, like guy like Price who's been 214 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: so good in a regular season and struggles in the postseason, 215 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: and I'm just curious. I know, it's a different sport 216 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: because you can't come out with all this emotion. You 217 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: got to control it, but just and mentally, if there 218 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: was something else that you could, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. 219 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: That's probably probably one for the baseball experts. Have you 220 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: ever been part of the NFL rules Committee like the 221 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: coaches that are part of the rules committee like they, 222 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: I've never been on the company, You've never been the 223 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: competition committee? Yet? Would accept the invite? Well, I've never 224 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: been on it. So because the one thing that that 225 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: I was I've been telling these guys about is so 226 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: Brady throws two interceptions, but they're really not his fault, right, 227 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: So Hogan kind of misses one, it goes, it gets 228 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: tipped and it's an interception. Gronk has one looks like 229 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: it's the phone, but I think they ruled it an interception. 230 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: Would you be open to allowing that to be that 231 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: receiver to be held accountable for that drop or that interception, 232 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: almost like a plus minus situation like with hockey. So 233 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: instead of the quarterback getting being accredited the interception, the 234 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: receiver gets credited for the drop or the interception. Because 235 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: it feels like it's like and it's it's a check 236 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: under the type question. Um, I mean, I understand what 237 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: you're saying. It's no different than the team that you 238 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: know runs the ball the way down the field and 239 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: then the quarterback throws a one year a touchdown pass 240 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: to a wide open receiver off play action and there's 241 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: this quarterback rating you know. So, um yeah, I don't know. 242 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: I would imagine the end it evens out somehow. I mean, 243 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: my team drops them, your team drops them, lose team 244 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: drops them or catches them or whatever it is. Um, 245 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's no different than the passing yards that 246 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: teams are getting. Now, Miami got it. Kansas City certainly 247 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: gets a yardage's yardage, but it's passing yardage. The bauls 248 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: being thrown less than a foot and it looks like 249 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: it's a you know, a thirty yard completion. But anyway, 250 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: stats are stats, and I know that the league reviews 251 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: some of those situations, so they we've heard from them 252 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: through the year from time to time. This play that 253 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: was called a fumble, it's an interception. And this play 254 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: that was called these two guys got half a sack, 255 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna get the whole sack to so and so, 256 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: and things like that. So there are some i would 257 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: say um corrections or adjustments that are made to stats 258 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: after the game that I've been a part of from 259 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: time I've been aware of. I'm not saying I don't 260 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: spend any time on it. I don't get any discussions 261 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: with them, but they call and say we've changed this 262 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: or changed that, so just appears differently in the stat sheet. 263 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: So so with that, I mean, I know you don't 264 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: like turnovers. Nobody likes turnovers. You want to win that 265 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: turnover battle, but all they all created equal. I mean, 266 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: you don't want to turn the ball over, but you 267 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: look at and say a couple of tip balls here 268 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: and there. Let it So what ed is? What it is? 269 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: Kind of flukey? Well, no turnovers are I mean, we 270 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: have to prevent those. That's our jobs to take care 271 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: of the balls. Have it at the end of the 272 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: play when they kick it to us or when we're 273 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: in possession of it. So we do everything we can 274 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: to try to minimize those and those are the guys 275 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: that handle the ball, but also guys that can also 276 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: be part of us strip sacks things like that. So, 277 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: um yeah, that's something that we're all very aware, very 278 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: conscious of it. It's couldn't be. I don't know how 279 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: it could be more emphasized than what it is because 280 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: of the importance of it. Um, Have they changed any 281 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: I guess Kareem Hunt isn't going to surprise anybody this 282 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: year based on the first game team time you guys played, 283 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: and that was his first time playing in the NFL game. 284 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Have they changed at all based on the film that 285 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: you've watched as far as uh this year compared to 286 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: last year, other than the quarterback obviously, uh A quarterback, 287 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,239 Speaker 1: that's uh yeah, that's a change. Um. I mean defensively, 288 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: there there are a lot of changes offensively. I mean 289 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: they've changed a lot because of the number RPOs they run. 290 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean they run I don't know, probably ten RPOs 291 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: a game. I don't made more than that, but they 292 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: run a lot. So that's that's a new part of 293 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: the offense that um I know we played an opening 294 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: day and then we got ready for him at the 295 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: end of the season. Last year has a potential playoff opponent, 296 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: but it didn't end up going that way. But they 297 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: didn't have the RPO system like they have it now, 298 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: So that's a I'd say that's a pretty significant change 299 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: of the offensive system. They have a number of different 300 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: ways to do it, but it's still a post snap 301 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: decision to the quarterback makes is um Mahomes. Is he 302 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks where he scrambles like to run 303 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: or is he one of those that scrambles to look 304 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: look to throw down the field. Yeah, he'll do both. Yeah, 305 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: do both. Certainly, if he can gain the rge, he'll 306 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: he'll run it. If not, he'll extend the play by 307 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: time and throw it. He's maybe they plays off both. 308 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: As far as your years in the league, you've seen 309 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: a lot of great tight ends. I remember when whenever 310 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez was on the list, it was double Tony 311 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: Gonzalez to day you would you feel like you have 312 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: to take that approach with Travis Kelsey or is it 313 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: you can't go too many people to one guy. Yeah, 314 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: well he's a tough matchup. Um, really, nobody's covered him 315 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: very well in single coverage. The problem is you get 316 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: too any other guys to deal with, So the quarterback, 317 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: the running back, excuse me, and then then then the receivers. Um, 318 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: obviously Hill there's a problem. So it's kind of where 319 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: where do you want to where do you want to 320 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: push it? Um? You know, double Kelsey, single Hill, double Hill, 321 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: single Kelsey, double both of them. Don't stop the running 322 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: game with hunting my home. I mean there's you know, 323 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot a lot of problems. You know, you 324 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: got Conley, you got Thomas, you got yeah Walkins. I 325 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: mean it just the list keeps going on and on on. 326 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: So you can't double them all. Um, so you gotta 327 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: either picker spots or you know a lot of guys 328 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: got to win individual matchups.

I would say I would. I'm 336 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna give you, but I'm gonna well, the first drive 337 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: was pretty good. Yeah, I would say the drive. It 338 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: was only one play drive, but it came off the 339 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: turnover when Jason according knocked the ball out, John came 340 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: up with it, ran it back to about the thirty 341 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: yard line, and then ran the ball off tackle Sunny 342 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: broke it outside went in for a touchdown. It was 343 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: a one play drive, but it took advantage of the 344 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: turnover and it was a big momentum swing at that 345 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: point in the game.
