00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: best part of was you know, reuniting with coach Corso.

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: It's been a while since I've had a chance to

Speaker 2: spend some time with him, so that was That's really

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: a treat.

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 4: Build That interaction where he discussed your dad being a

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 4: mentor for him was really ESPN captured you guys shaking

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 4: hands for the first time. That must have meant a lot.

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, it's great to see him. And

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: you know, got a long long relationship with coach Corso's

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, fifty five years something like that,

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: so great men are a great, great man friend. I

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: always had a lot of admiration for Lye and all

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: the things that he's done as an assistant coach, head coach,

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: and you know what are he done for the game

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: of football and as a lot as football.

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: Now, Bill, that you brought that helmet, that nineteen sixty

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: two helmet, is that in the collection or did you

25
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: have to get that ahead of time.

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: How does that work?

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: Yeah?

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: No, I have a how many how many do you

29
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: have in the collection helmet helmet wise?

30
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: I don't know a few, probably, yeah, I don't know.

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 5: Ten.

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: Got some across helmets too.

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 6: So, Bill, when you look at what you guys were

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 6: able to do as a team on Thursday night going

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 6: to Pittsburgh beat a good football team, what do you

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 6: what do you think was the biggest thing that you

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 6: guys were able to do to come out with that win?

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: H Well, I mean in the end, we made a

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: few more plays than the Steelers did. I think that

40
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: was really the you know, the bottom line, and we

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: both teams had had an interception in the yard age,

42
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: was you know, fairly fairly comparable. You know, we had

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: a couple of fourth down stops that we needed and

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, score touchdowns in the red area and gave

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: us a few more points than they did.

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 7: Bill, did Bailey do enough on Thursday to keep him

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 7: as the starter against Kansas City?

48
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Courtney, I'm not announcing. I'm not announcing who's doing

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: what that's must stop doing that.

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 7: Were you impressed by his first half performance? Obviously the

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 7: second half the offense didn't produce as much, but that

52
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 7: first half he looked pretty good.

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, again, as you said at the offense, so

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: production comes from units and it's no individual that can

55
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, do it by himself on any side of

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: the ball, offense, defensive, special teams. So you know, we

57
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: focus on you know, unit performance and production and whereast

58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: that's you know, individual production goes with it. But you know,

59
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: we did a did a good job offensively of you know,

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: moving the ball. We had some explosive plays, you know,

61
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: three touchdowns in the red area. So there was some

62
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: there were some positive things, certainly not perfect, you know,

63
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: things we can improve on and need to do better,

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: but that's that's what it was.

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 6: Bill. One of the things you did on the defensive

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 6: side of the football was you've showed a lot of

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 6: different things pre snap and then you kind of post

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 6: snap change, you know, jumped into different coverages I think

69
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 6: which led to obviously the Jabrail Pepper's interception. Was that

70
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 6: something going into the game that you knew with Trubisky

71
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 6: as the quarterback that you wanted to show him some

72
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 6: looks pre snap and then rotating different coverages after the

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: ball was snapped.

74
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. You know, it's something we do every week,

75
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: but it's always a point outphasis to try to make

76
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: it as hard on the quarterback as we can and

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: make him figure it out after the snap or you know,

78
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: not be so obvious as to what we're doing to

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: let him check into a play that good against that

80
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: particular look. Obviously that'll be really important this week against

81
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: against Kansas City, but it's important every week. I mean,

82
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: we try to do that every week.

83
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 7: Jabrill Peppers dedicated to win on Thursday to you saying

84
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 7: he doesn't appreciate the flack that you've been getting recently.

85
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 7: How how much does that mean to you when you've

86
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 7: got players both young and old who are supportive of

87
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 7: having you as the coach and really listen to you

88
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 7: and respect you.

89
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, as I said, it goes both ways. I have

90
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for what the team has done

91
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 2: and come in every day and prepare and work hard.

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: And you know, we've been lost to you know, some

93
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: close games and and we won one, you know, Thursday night,

94
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: which was great. So hopefully we can stay on that

95
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: track and keep finding ways to win those close games.

96
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 5: Bill in the fourth quarter, you guys were benefited benefited

97
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 5: by a false start penalty on the long snapper Coons

98
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: for Pittsburgh. Was that motion that he kind of does

99
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 5: with his head something you would pointed out to the

100
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: rest kind of planting the seed prior to the game,

101
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 5: having seen it him do it prior to try and

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 5: get defenses to jump off sides.

103
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

104
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: You know that's those are points emphasis from the official

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: the officials each week, and and you know there's certain

106
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: things that they they emphasize. Honestly, that's one of them.

107
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: And there's but there are many others that they kind

108
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: of tell you they're gonna, you know, call tightly. And

109
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: certainly that's happened to us before too. We've had a

110
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 2: couple of situations where we've been called for a similar

111
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: you know in fraction. So but I mean that being said,

112
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: we we just we need to cut down on the

113
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 2: person aw penalties all the way around period. On offense game.

114
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 6: Bill, you talked about playing a team like Kansas City

115
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 6: and Patrick Mahomes and they had their game against the

116
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 6: Bills last night, and you talk about some of the penalties, uh,

117
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 6: pre snap penalties, the alignments of lining up. Andy re

118
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 6: talked about usually official will come to you and give

119
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 6: you a warning if there's something a guy maybe getting

120
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 6: a little bit close in the new own or maybe

121
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 6: where he's lining up as a wide receiver on the ball.

122
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 6: Is that something that's pretty accurate. Did they usually give

123
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 6: you a warning or did they generally just throw the

124
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 6: flag and not give you any warnings on specific pre

125
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 6: snap penalties?

126
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we that HOB varies from crew to crew.

127
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. Sometimes it probably

128
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: depends on what the officials see. But I really have

129
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: to talk to the officials about that. I mean, I'm

130
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: not gonna get into, you know, how the game should

131
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: be officiated. That's their job.

132
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: The Diesel Direct player of the Game on Thursday night,

133
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: Billy Zappi.

134
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: You talked a little bit about him, Bill, but just maybe.

135
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: Things that you saw different on Thursday night as opposed

136
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: to the prior week.

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: It's been pretty consistent. You know, for the most part,

138
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: he's done a good job of taking care of the

139
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: ball quarterback position. We haven't had a lot of negative plays,

140
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: turnovers and just negative plays penalties that are related to

141
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: the quarterback position, you know, delay game things like that.

142
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: So he's done a good job managing the team and

143
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: taking care of the ball. You know, there's always plays

144
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: that players and coaches can, you know, do a little

145
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: better when you look back over the game. But again,

146
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: everybody who plays in the game feels that way. So

147
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: but he Bailey works hard and tries to correct his mistakes,

148
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: tries to learn each week, and you learn each day,

149
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: and so I'm sure he'll continue to do that. But

150
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: that's good preparation and attention to details certainly puts them

151
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: on the right path. The performance, better performance in the games.

152
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,520

00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 4: Bill just on ZAPPI, what took so long? Why wait

158
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: until week thirteen to give him his first start? He

159
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: clearly in the first half. The offense hasn't looked that

160
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: good in a while here with the Patriots.

161
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Bailey played earlier in the year, played in preseason,

162
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: played a lot in preseason. So but like I said,

163
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: we made the decision when we thought it was the

164
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: right time to meg it.

165
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 6: Bill one of the things that you know, obviously you

166
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 6: talked a little bit about Patrick Mahomes and what makes

167
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: him such a great player. What's the one thing that

168
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 6: I guess if you're you know, you're trying your best

169
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 6: to slow him down, what defense do you want to do?

170
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 6: Do you want to try to keep him in the pocket.

171
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 6: Do you want to try to you know, put pressure

172
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 6: on him? What what's something that maybe gives him some issues?

173
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 6: If there are anythings that do give him issues.

174
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: But as always against a great player like that, it's

175
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: team defense.

176
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 3: Uh.

177
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: There's no one guy out there that's going to stop

178
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 2: my homes. It's just impossible. So the team has to

179
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 2: play well defensively. They have you know, a good a

180
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: lot of good skill players have good you know, good players,

181
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: good linemen. Uh so, Uh, they're really really good, you know,

182
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: with their inside guys, you know, Tony and Freed those guys.

183
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: So you know you've got to you've got to play

184
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 2: good team defense. Uh. You got to be able to

185
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: play the run, got to be able to cover man

186
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: and then rush the quarterback tackle. Uh, So we need

187
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: to do all those things. I don't think there's just

188
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: any one one guy that's gonna stop this offense. I

189
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: can't imagine Boot with the.

190
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: Bill you said you're not going to announce the starter.

191
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: Is it a competition this week with Mac and Bailey

192
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: Zappi And will they be splitting the reps with the

193
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 4: first team as you prepare for the Chiefs on Sunday.

194
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk about that. We don't practice until Wednesday,

195
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: so we talk about that over the next couple of days.

196
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: I will do that, but trying to make sure everybody's

197
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: ready to go, and hopefully everybody will be ready to go.

198
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 7: Bill Rubbercraft was also on College Game Day and said

199
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 7: that he wanted to do everything that you guys can

200
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 7: to get the team back to it to winning. I

201
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 7: know that you're focused on Kansas City and you've got

202
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 7: a lot of games ahead of you, But have you

203
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 7: and rubber Craft had that decision on what that means

204
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 7: getting this team back to a winning way.

205
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,280
