After practice today we had 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:14.280 a chance to hear from head coach and John Harbaugh. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.919 Okay, appreciate everybody being here. Good practice, good tough day, 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:23.520 trying to get better every day. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:24.360 It's what we're working. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:28.880 On the On the anniversary of nine to eleven, twenty 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:33.080 third anniversary I believe of nine and eleven, I just 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.160 want to thank all the first responders, all the military, 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.639 the families who are involved with nine to eleven who 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:47.080 lost loved ones that day and since, which is many, many, many, 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.559 many thousands of people. I want to let them know 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.519 we're thinking about them and we haven't forgotten them. When 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.960 I was growing up, when I was in my early twenties, 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.600 I really didn't remember sassion of John F. 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:01.080 Kennedy. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.600 My mom and dad were big, big Jack and Jackie 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:08.200 Kennedy fans that we grew up thinking that the Kennedy's 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.320 were everything. You know, they were it, and they would 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.440 talk about where they were that day when Jack Kennedy 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.520 was assassinated in Dallas, visited the Book Depository and saw 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.360 how close it was, saw the whole thing, you know 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:24.560 on the tour when you do the tour at the 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.800 National Museum there, and learned about it because I'd heard 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.520 about it, and I realized a lot of our guys 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:31.320 in the early twenties are the same. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.760 They weren't they weren't they were kids, or. 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.640 They weren't born some of them, and for them, it's 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.200 kind of the same kind of a memory. So to 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.160 keep that memory alive is so important. It means so 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.360 much to our country, to our history. And I mean, 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.720 I was we were game planning, getting ready for the 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.080 Giants on a Tuesday morning, and Carol Cullen, who worked 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.240 with our staff, came in to turn on the TV. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.480 Turned the TV and I see smoke coming out of 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.520 a building. It looks like maybe a little plane hit 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.680 the building. Maybe it was just a little some kind 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.840 of plane hit a building. There, watching and watching, I'm 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.040 watching it. Twenty minutes later, all of a sudden, slow motion, 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.600 it seemed like this huge plane flies into the second tower, 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.320 and I mean, you're just like, what did what did? 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.200 What did I just see? And then from there on, 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.799 you know, it was. It was chaos. Sean Lendetta was 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.720 down there. He was our punter. He was down there 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.400 that day. Uh in Manhattan. 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:23.640 It was a player's day off. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.120 He talks about running from the tower area, running, buying 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.320 himself a bike and pedaling away so he could get 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.240 get off Manhattan as fast as he could. It's just 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.720 one of those days that's kind of seared in a memory. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.800 So try to remember that. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.320 And for all those involved, and for all the first 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.200 responders now who, and all the military people now who, 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.839 and the police and the firemen and the medical who 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.960 do so much force, just please just thank them when 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.440 you see them, Just thank them for what they do. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.560 Great sacrifices are made and they risk their lives every 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:53.119 single day. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.200 Okay with that, what question do you have, John? 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.720 I know you did an extra a few days, being 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.919 that Thursday, even in the season. Is that beneficial having 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.600 therese a couple of extra days going into two week? 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:05.640 Yeah, you know, I don't know. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.040 It's can be and maybe in other ways you get 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.560 you can imagine where it couldn't be. So it just 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.520 kind of speculation. It just depends on how we handle 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.920 it and how we come out and play. That'll be 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.640 indicative of whether it was good for us or not. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.919 What do you expect from the Raiders and the preparation 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.560 being to face them on the BOK to video. 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.640 We expect a very good football team. It's a very 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.800 physical football team, hard playing team, tough team, lots of speed, 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:32.520 you know, a dominant, dominant defensive front four front seven, aggressive, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.800 fast secondary who you break on the ball and tackle 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.080 very well. Just a really good defense. And then offensively, 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:43.200 a big, physical offensive line, talented receiving core, an elite 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.960 receiving core across the board, tight ends, wide receivers. Of course, 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.640 you know who their guys are and they're great players. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.920 And then we've played We played Gardner Mitchew before and 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:53.800 he's beaten us before, so we have all the respect 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.480 in the world for him as a quarterback. 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:56.840 We know how talented and good he is. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.160 So we're looking forward to the challenge and it will 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.240 be quite a challenge. 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.960 Obviously, Lamar is back practice then ready to go. 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.560 Devin said, you know, one. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.760 Hundred yards and the Browns put some shoulders into some people. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.320 Are you comfortable with that level of fascality for more 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:14.600 and running them all acros the season? 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.400 I'm comfortable with physical football team across the board, whatever 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.760 it takes, and given situations to try to find a 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.680 way to make a play and win the game. Every 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.839 single one of our guys competing at the highest level 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.279 UH to UH to do whatever they can to to 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.839 play their best football, put our best foot forward, and 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.679 try to try to win a play, win a series, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:32.160 win a game. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:33.640 That's what that's what we're all here for. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.320 There is there a fine line though, between. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.039 That and also the more we don't live in that 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.680 world of fine lines. I mean, we live in the 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.680 world of competing, going out there and doing the best 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.120 you can. You know, there's no lines being drawn. The 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.760 only lines that we have the lines on the field, 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.200 you know, the sidelines, the goal line, the back end line. Okay, 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:51.440 that was a big one. That was a big line. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.719 It was really important in this game. Those other fine 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.599 lines you're talking about, I'm not even aware of those. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:56.400 I don't know what those are. 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:57.920 You aware? 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.719 A coach of Kyle Bennoid, it was big are critical 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.720 of what happened in Kansas City with a lack of 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.240 medical attention that he received, But did you hear from 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.480 him about that? Because he voiced his displeasure. 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.600 Yeah, he hasn't talked to me about that kind of stuff. 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.160 That's not something I've talked to I didn't hear the 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:13.280 quote comments at all. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:14.440 They were sent to me. 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.120 I read him, and that's about as far as I 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.560 can get out. And I don't know what happened or 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.760 didn't happen. Have respect for everybody involved, Have respect for 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.000 the medical people everywhere in the league. Of course our place, 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.080 Kansas City, every place in the league. Have respect for 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.159 all of them. Have respect autmost respectful the players, certainly 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.080 Kyle Van No. I mean, you know, he's he's my guy. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.280 You know, I love him, And this is one of 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.280 these guys that competes and fights and does everything he 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.080 can to be the best player he can. So you 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.520 know that's something that that's just you know, that's That's 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:44.640 not what I'm gonna be involved with. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:45.080 John. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.720 How much can you take away sad faced gardener last year? 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.440 But it was with a different team, different systems, So 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.960 what's the value? And there is there a lot of 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.880 value in studying what he did last year, orses you 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.800 guys or is it not all that relevant? No? 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.560 I think it's valuant, sure, because they'd probably watch that tape, 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.920 and you know there's some things they can take from 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.480 it and use in this game. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.359 I'm sure they'll they'll think about doing that. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.000 Big game a get you guys. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.200 Last time you played twenty twenty one? 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:07.279 Sure of the game rerecord? 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.240 How do you how do you account for himpt defense? 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.120 Yeah, he's a game rerecord, no doubt about it. One 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.200 of the one of the best players in football, A 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.880 very unpredictable player because of his high level of energy. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.520 I mean, he brings it every single play, plays almost 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.200 every snap. He's upfield, he's underneath, he's India's he's back 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.920 around the backside, he's he's a spinning you know, he's 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.080 he's knocking your hands off. Uh, he's he's running to 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.520 the ball. He's just a he's just a game record 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.440 to you. To use that word, I think is exactly 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.479 the right word. So we're gonna have to do everything 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.760 we can. But you know, you can't. You can't, you know, 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.920 can't put eleven guys on one guy. You know you've 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:40.880 got to handle all eleven of their guys as well. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.920 So we're gonna have to do a great job with 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.120 their whole defense. And and definitely he's the guy you 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.160 put the dot on and understand he's he's the top 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.240 guy that you need to look out for. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.200 John who thinks a champ ass year. How do you 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.440 think Trenton Simpson did in his first start? And now 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.160 what kind of go through you're looking from in week 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:56.840 one to week two? 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:02.040 Thought Trenton played well, flew around, played good football, did 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.560 a lot of things right, for sure, And I think 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.360 he's gonna build on that. You know, for sure, he'll 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.520 build on that and keep growing as a player out 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.120 here in practice today he did some good things, but 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.520 he did a couple of things that work great, you know, 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.760 and we're coaching off those things too, just like every player, 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.080 you know, So we just try to build everybody up 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.280 as much as they can. Trenton would be the same. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.120 Young guys should make progress, for sure, and that's what 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:21.640 we're hoping for. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.720 Johnson's the twenty twenty two season of Justin Tucker's ten 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:30.000 twenty fifty plus. Among those ten misses, four of them 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.600 field goal blocks. Is there any concern with the special 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.280 teams unit with distance kicking in particular about that? 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.080 No, I just want to make the next kick. That's 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.120 what we trying to do make the next kick, protect 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.640 the next kick, get a good snap, get a good hold, 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.080 get a good kick. They're definitely it's definitely one at 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:46.920 a time type of a process. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:47.120 You know. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.240 You can't you can't say anything. You can't be living 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:50.840 in the past. You can't be living in the future. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:52.760 I mean, he can't even be living in whether the 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.160 kick's gonna go through the upright so or not. If 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:55.840 you're the kicker, if you ask justin he'll tell you 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.880 it's a process thing. You know, it's a processing You 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.520 try to do everything right that play and uh and 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.360 and make a good kick, you know, and if you 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.360 make a good kick, you have the best opportunity to 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.400 make the kick through the uprights. And that's what all 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.360 of our eleven guys out there on that play try 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:10.560 to do. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.880 John, is that a new T shirt with the assaultant light? 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:15.280 It is? 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:15.640 It? 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.160 Is? Any explanation one? 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.040 Well, I think this probably tells an one. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.400 Has nothing to do with your hair. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:26.840 That's a good one. That's a good one. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.119 I like that, John, Isa, get back out here today. 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.440 Just how much does that helping? Where's he atter? 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:36.760 Progress is? Obviously? 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.160 Well, it'll help a lot when we get him back 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.959 out there.

And in that type of game, sometimes you 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:50.439 gotta do what you gotta do. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.480 More John along those lines, John's just talk about it 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:55.560 be competitive on every player. There was a player near 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.600 the boundary and rather than go out of bounds, they 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.160 play the lower shot barreled duty. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.359 We could through your head in that moment. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.840 Nah, I'm I'm playing football. I'm just playing football. Nothing 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.400 really going through my head at that time. You know, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.000 it was I didn't wanna get hit. You know, I'm 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.240 going on the side line. I think I got hit 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.559 like that before going on the sideline and about to 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:14.559 step out, somebody hit me. 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.160 So it was like, I'd rather hit you before you 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.280 hit me. So that's all. That was why you've been lauded. 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.400 Brofore you're from being able to evade the big hits. Yeah, 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.120 if you run a lot, but you can tend to 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.959 afford the defensive. But you were initiating not only on 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.160 that play, but more contact than contact than maybe maybe usually. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.839 Was this just a competitive spirit thing? 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.280 Was this a specific thing. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:37.400 Or what was going on? 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.439 H the competitive spirit and sometimes you know, when I 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.360 be on the ground, I already be following. Those guys 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.520 still be hitting me, and I don't get those calls. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.079 I don't know why. But we gonna look into that, 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:48.599 you know, gonna look into that. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.440 The more we thought the all off season and fout 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.000 you losing weight and your every you know all the time. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.720 How how did it feel out there in your first game? 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.599 I felt great, Jamison. Uh, I'm not gonna lie to you. 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.319 I I believe someone was like, I don't like his weight. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:03.960 You know, he lost weight, and I don't know how 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.520 he'll look out there, and you know those guys are huge, 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.000 and I'm like, at the end of the day, I'm 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.360 a grown man too, just like those guys. So I 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.800 feel pretty good. Came out the game pretty good. We 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.120 gonna keep it going. R. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.440 I'mr with Isaiah. You know he's got me spend here 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.160 a few years. You guys had a connection. You remember 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.719 kind of the first time that he sort of wowed you. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.600 I guess, I mean, obviously a great game once Kana City. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.960 U you remember the maybe the Firs the first time, 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:34.640 sort of? 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:35.720 Uh? 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:36.079 Was it? 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:36.560 Uh? 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.079 I think I always say this, like the Buccaneers game 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:40.880 I think Mark was down and that was his first game, 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:42.439 and he he showed off. 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.480 Uh, I mean he showed out. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.800 He he did what he was you know what he's 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.439 his job is to do, you know, step down and 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.679 the first guy's down, he stepped up, you know. And 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.400 that's pretty much what he was doing. Because they was 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.040 double the Mark all game, Like every time we played him. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.600 They got like a thing for eighty nine, Like they 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.000 don't want eighty nine to do anything. But eighty nine 0:12:58.120 --> 0:12:59.560 is doing his part, you know, cause he getting other 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.160 guys over and that's the biggest thing, you know. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.559 Uh, and likely took advantage of it. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.280 A Raiders a couple of years ago. Max Crosby had 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.920 a big game against it. What do you remember when 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.800 he sticks in your mind about facing him? 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:11.679 Uh? 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.360 How older? How molder? That guy. He's a great he's 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.800 a great edge rusher. Man. My hat's off to uh, 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.079 my hat's off to him. He was how older he 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.400 was just going at an all game. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.160 I was like this man here, I was laughing, you know, Max, 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.120 he was he was like trying to get after me 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.720 and I was like talking Tras back and he was like. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.719 But I love your game, Lamar. Like stuff like that. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.360 But he's a great edge rusher. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:31.559 Man. 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.920 He was definitely a great EDS rusher. Yeah yeah, man, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.520 Yeah yeah yeah. He said that during the game, and 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:42.160 I was like, I was like laughing a little bit. Yeah, Lamar. 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.079 I know, uh, weights fluctuate during the season, But do 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.080 you have a kind of target playing weight for yourself 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.000 or over these next. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:48.280 Couple of months. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.199 I mean, I'm good right now. I don't have a 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.600 target weight. He's gonna keep playing and doing what I'm doing. 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:55.679 I'm not worried about the weight. The weight is not 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.560 read about itself. You know, we're just going cool. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.679 Can you find sharing what you are right? Don't? I 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.160 don't know to. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:08.880 Something fast enough, fast enough I can get away. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.600 We also heard from All Pro safety Kyle Hamilton. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.840 Obviously the Chiefs as much as anyone or a lot 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.280 of matchup issues, especially Travis Plse. How on the hole 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.040 do you feel like the secondary handled just kind of 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.040 the bullets that that the Chiefs had to throw at you. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.640 Yeah, I think we did well for the most part. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.960 I think we made him think I threw some different 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:44.200 looks at him. I think we played aggressive. You know, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.400 obviously we didn't play our best football and especially me personally. 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.600 I don't think I played well at all. And you 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.840 know it's a week the week league and excited to 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.720 go back out this weekend and make up for it. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.280 But there's a lot of good stuff on that film 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.440 to learn from. And you know, like I just said, 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.960 weekly week, and I think we're moving on to a tribute. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.040 I mean, anything to not play in the preseason, just 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.680 that being your first game action in the months. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.200 No, not really, because I don't think that was the 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.920 case last year against the Texans and none of us 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.280 playing preseason last year. So you know, weeks like that 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.120 happened and you try to minimize as much as they 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.720 can and or as much as you can, and it's 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.520 just part of the league. And you know, we don't 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.600 we don't want it to be like that, but you know, 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.320 guys on the other side are good, and we need 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.160 to come every week prepared and I feel like we 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.320 were prepared, just matter of executing, which I think we'll 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:30.680 do better. 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:31.320 Kyle. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.920 You guys do so much in terms of the pre 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.960 snap and deception, you know, show Man dropping his own 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.600 whatever in your experience as the last couple of years, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.400 and obviously you know some new coaches, a new defense coordinator, 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.040 and there's always new players. How long does it take 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.400 to really feel like you get that as synchronized as 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:48.800 fluid as you'd like it to be. 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:49.880 As a defense? 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.720 You know, how long does that take into the season 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.680 where and I know it's a week to weekly, when 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:55.080 is that process? 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.760 Yeah, I think you're working on that all year. Honestly, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.160 it's something that you can't really take your foot off 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.800 the gas with because you get kind of undisciplined with 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.400
