1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Injuries for today, George Kittle toe won't practice, Ambry Thomas

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: ankle will be limited, or in Burke's with his shoulder

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: will be limited.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: Go ahead, George's toe?

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that a turf toe?

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 4: Or is that a bruise or what's any concern that?

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: No, just just a toe.

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, not too many but key players who played in

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 5: the last Super Bowl against k just wondering how do

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 5: you think that experience shaped them? Some of them have

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 5: become your great leaders, and also how did they shape you?

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all those guys for the most part,

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: were young guys and it was their first one. And

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: I think always when you go your first time, you

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: experience a lot of stuff. But I think when you

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: go your second time, you know all that stuff you experienced,

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: it's about one thing.

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: It's about what happens in those three hours.

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: And I think it's really cool for those guys who

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: have gone to be able to talk to players so

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: it's their first time, kind of help them not get

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: caught up in stuff, especially guys who are rookies in

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: guys like Diebo and things like that.

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: So having an experience always helps.

25
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: Look Tarvarius Ward in Kansas city and he've u bringing

26
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 4: him here.

27
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: How do you think he's grown as a player from

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: then to now?

29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: And we asked him to do a little bit more

30
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: and just the coverages, just the way their scheme was

31
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: not more different things. You know, he was primarily always

32
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: bumped back then and played a lot of two shell

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: defense and we mix it up a little off in

34
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: our three deep and the bump when we're doing man

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: and stuff. So we had to see him do some

36
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 1: things here that he hadn't done before.

37
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: And his game has grown. He really can do anything

38
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: ask him to do.

39
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: After the game, Nick talked about how this was the

40
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: perfect matchup. You know, the Chiefs are on top of

41
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: the football world, have been a halls read. How do

42
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: you view the challenge in front of you, guys from

43
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 4: just the standpoint of your facing a team with a

44
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: quarterback and a coach that have won multiple Super Bowls.

45
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's not a coincidence why they have.

46
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the quarterback is as hard to

47
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: beat as anyone who's ever played the game. The things

48
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: he can do from a talent standpoint, and then you

49
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: pair that up with his scheme with Andy. How Andy

50
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: runs a team with Mahomes' experience. Now, I mean that's

51
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: why no matter what type of game it is, whether

52
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: it's low scoring, high scoring, whether they're struggling or not,

53
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they always have a chance.

54
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: He's gonna if they can keep it close. He's really

55
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: tough to stop.

56
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: And when you can always have a chance, and you

57
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: also got a really good defense, you got a great

58
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: coaching staff, a great head coach. That's usually a very

59
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: good formula to win most games.

60
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: Given those Saturday speeches or talks to them with the

61
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: team for a couple of years. Now, did you pick

62
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: him for that? What kind of led to that happening?

63
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I just I always pick someone differently every day to

64
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: break down the team. I always just try to surprise

65
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: someone and do it pretty randomly. It's it kind of

66
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: keeps everyone on their toes a little bit. And I

67
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: started I did it randomly for the first time with

68
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Nick some Saturday, and uh, he did a good job

69
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: and we won. So I think I did the next Saturday,

70
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: and you did a little bit better job than we won,

71
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: And I think it's towards the end of the year,

72
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: and then we just started with that the following year

73
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: and it's kind of just since it has become our tradition,

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and it's Nick's gotten really good at it. Remember he's

75
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: always been good at it. But it's funny how guys

76
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: who are so confident everything they do, they're just not

77
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: used always speaking in front of groups. And he used

78
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: to tell me that was the most nervous he'd be

79
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: throughout the whole week. He'd start getting nervous about it

80
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: on Wednesdays. And he I think earlier this year he

81
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: thanked me. He's like, hey, thanks for doing that. By

82
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: the way, I have gotten better at it. I'm not

83
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: as nervous anymore so. And he's really good at it.

84
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: Everything he says he thinks through. And Nick doesn't waste

85
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: words because he doesn't use many of them.

86
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: When you were considering drafting him, I mean, obviously not

87
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: a man of a lot of words.

88
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: What what was his personality like there?

89
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: And I mean the only I mean, you get to

90
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: hear all the reports and everything and all the work

91
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: that our personnel apartment does for years, but I mean.

92
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: The only time you really get to know someone is

93
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: when you get to hang out with them.

94
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: And we had him in for dinner and so I

95
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: got to sit with the dinner with him, and you know,

96
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: people can trick you all the time and things like that,

97
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: but what was so cool about Nick was there was

98
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: no tricking And just like I think how he talks

99
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: to you guys, how he always is Nick as himself.

100
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: He is very true to what he says. He doesn't

101
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: just make stuff up. If he doesn't have something to say,

102
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: he's not going to say it. So he was a

103
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: guy that was very easy to connect to with the

104
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: dinner just because you could tell how he was acting

105
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: as who he was and really enjoyed him from the beginning.

106
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: And he's always been that guy that we met on

107
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: the first day. And can't say enough good things about Nick.

108
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: He plays really hard, I think in all three phases

109
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 6: of the game through your tenure here. When you watch

110
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 6: that film against Detroit and you watch that second quarter

111
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 6: halfback toss to Gibbs, what did you think of the

112
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 6: pursuit effort of your defensive alignment on that play and

113
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 6: is that in line with your culture?

114
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: No, not at all.

115
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of what I was referring to

116
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: on I think our conference call on Monday. But it's

117
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, and I know it looked bad on the

118
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: clip that you guys have and stuff, but it's yeah,

119
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: we no, it's not our culture.

120
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: We don't want to have one play like that.

121
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: I think we had about two to three in that game,

122
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: which is too much for us.

123
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: We don't want to ever have one. But it wasn't

124
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: just the D line.

125
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: There was a few backside people who weren't going and

126
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: they're expecting someone else to make the tackle. And whenever

127
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: you're expecting someone else to make the tackle, bad things happen.

128
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: That surprised you just coming out of the buy for example,

129
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: you guys had lots of energy on defense.

130
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: Did you expect that shame.

131
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 4: Type of play coming out of you know, the rest

132
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 4: that you've got before the playoffs started?

133
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

134
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think we did.

135
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: I think when I just understand how social media works,

136
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: and I understand when a clip looks bad and it

137
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: goes around, that's everything. But that was a few bad

138
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: clips in the game, which I bet you I can

139
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: go find those in a lot of games. But I

140
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: don't question at all our our lack of effort and

141
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: how hard we work and how hard we go and

142
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: run to the ball. Always were we one hundred percent no,

143
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: especially on a couple of big runs that really looked

144
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: really bad. But that's not a few plays which aren't acceptable.

145
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: But I'm not sitting here acting like that was the

146
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: whole reason. That's why they got a few extra yards

147
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: on those two plays. But that game was more about

148
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: how we played run defense, just not guys, not all

149
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: eleven guys running on every single play.

150
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: You'd lost. You had two bad seasons, you know how

151
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: that goes in the NFL, A lot of noise. How

152
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: was jed with you and John, you know, coming out

153
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: of that year and into twenty nineteen before you kind

154
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: of roll.

155
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: He was awesome.

156
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: It's exactly how he was when we sat down for

157
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: the interview. You know, we you never want to have

158
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: those records, but we also were realistic before we started,

159
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: and you know, we're trying to build it to have

160
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: a legit shot the fourth year.

161
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: It was kind of our goal and stuff. And it

162
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: happened the third year, which was great.

163
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: But after those first two seasons, you know's we started

164
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: the first season out really rough, but we ended great.

165
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: The second season was really tough, especially losing our quarterback

166
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: for the whole year, but we did some things we

167
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: were proud of towards the end, and even though we

168
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: were real disappointed with our record that year, it did

169
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: lead to gain Boso, so that was a good thing.

170
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: But he was he was always positive.

171
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: I think the hardest share was the COVID year, just

172
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: because we felt we had built our team. You know,

173
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: we had a tough Super Bowl loss, and we weren't

174
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: sure if we were gonna play till about that early

175
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: July and then felt like we went right from the

176
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl to the season and that was the toughest

177
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: year just because it wasn't like what we expected.

178
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: On the hot seat going into twenty nineteen or did

179
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: he make it clear you were good?

180
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: We never had the discussion, but I mean as a coach,

181
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: you know you're always on the hot seat.

182
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 2: But no, it was there was no difference.

183
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: In our relationship or anything going into year three as

184
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: there was the day I was hired.

185
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: Tough to stop the run game. I mean, they got

186
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: a good runner.

187
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: He runs hard, He never he is always the same.

188
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: He's one of the more consistent players in this league.

189
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: Every single run and first run to the last run.

190
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Whenever you turn on the clip cold weather, on the road,

191
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: at home, he runs extremely hard. He's our type of

192
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: runner that we like, and that's I say the first

193
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: that's the best thing. And they got some good blockers,

194
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: they got to scheme, they mix up and when you're

195
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: real scary in the past game too, that always helps

196
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the wrong game.

197
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 6: Year being the most difficult. What was so difficult about

198
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: it for you?

199
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: And was there anything that you were able to take

200
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: away looking back on it was the beginning of the

201
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: question year that you talked about you being so difficult.

202
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 4: Was there anything you took away from that that you

203
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: think has made you a better coach or major team

204
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: better or closer anything like that.

205
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the hardest thing with the COVID

206
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: year was I think you didn't get a chance to

207
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: finish the year before a little bit.

208
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: You know, you didn't.

209
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: There was no off season, there was no meetings, there

210
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: was no I mean, the first time we were reviewing

211
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: the super all together was training camp, So I thought

212
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: that was a little bit just different. And sitting there

213
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: in July as a coach, it's a little bit easier

214
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: not knowing whether you're gonna play or not because I

215
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: don't have the biggest routine, workout routine to get ready

216
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: for a coach season. I think that's harder for the players,

217
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: just being in limbo and having the COVID situation and

218
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: not really knowing you're playing until then, and then trying

219
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: to get the guys ready and being in.

220
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: A stadium where there were no people. It was just weird.

221
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: And then having to overcome the injuries is what made

222
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: it the toughest. So and I don't know COVID was

223
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: miserable that year.

224
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 6: Compared to coming up short than the following two years.

225
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: The Answer Championship a different kind of thing.

226
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: It was just totally different because we got kicked out

227
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: of our state. We got kicked out of here. We

228
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: had to go live in a hotel where COVID was

229
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: didn't seem as big of a deal because outside of

230
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: our windows, the whole state was open. We got to

231
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: look at a Dave and Busters a movie theater and

232
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: everyone was out. But we got kicked out of here

233
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: because we couldn't practice football outside. And then we were

234
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: in NFL rules where we're in a hotel for a

235
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: month where you're not allowed to see each other, so

236
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: we couldn't have meals together, we couldn't have meetings together.

237
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: We couldn't sit in the lobby together, so I kind

238
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: of it was like nice jail cells and we got

239
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: let out for recess, which was practice.

240
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: And then we had to go right back or you

241
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: get fined. So it's something we hope we never go

242
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: back to game.

243
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 6: What about your run game?

244
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: How how do you record gating in the playoffs? And

245
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: how essential is that? Obviously?

246
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's I think it's hard to win

247
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: consistently in this league if you can't run the ball.

248
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, no matter how good of a passing game

249
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: you have, no matter how good of a defense, I

250
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: don't know, it doesn't matter.

251
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: I mean you can do it here and there and

252
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: always pull it off.

253
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: But then the most consistent way to win is to

254
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: be balanced and to put pressure on everybody. And we

255
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: love being able to stick with the run game. So

256
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: you make people force it, I mean you make people

257
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: defend it, and then people defend it, everything gets a

258
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: little bit easier. People can stop your run game without

259
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: committing to it.

260
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: Everything's a lot harder.

261
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: Super Bowl.

262
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 4: What did you learn from the last Super Bowl experience

263
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: in terms of practice, Like what you need to get

264
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: done this week versus what you can accomplish.

265
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: I was real happy with our preparation last time. I

266
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: just you know, I had been to a Super Bowl

267
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: before as a coach, you know, just four years before that.

268
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I think I've went to six just as a family

269
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: member growing up and just always hearing about it and

270
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: watching it. I've been paying attention to stuff my whole life.

271
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: So it's you know, just always.

272
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad that the Super Bowls we were in that

273
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: we have a week before we go. I know, John

274
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: Lynch they had to go like that Monday after they

275
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: won the NFC championship in Philly, so I couldn't imagine that.

276
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: But I've always was told then we did that way

277
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: in LANDA, we've done it with that here. But you

278
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: try to get as much in this first week as

279
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: possible and when you get out there, we go through

280
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: it again.

281
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: But it is different. Our Monday is totally different with

282
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: the media deal.

283
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Our routines off because you got to you got to

284
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: do these press conferences every day, so you get.

285
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: About an hour off from all your normal time. So

286
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: when you usually.

287
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: Do red zone and stuff, you're two hours behind a

288
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: little more tired, and all that stuff adds up and

289
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: if you put stuff off to that week and think

290
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be a normal week. You're gonna get

291
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: to that Thursday or Friday, and I quite feel as comfortable.

292
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: Game plan installed this week.

293
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, first game with your team was against the

294
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 5: Chief last season. How have you seen him evolve from

295
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 5: that game to this point in your offense? Evolved from

296
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 5: that game to now.

297
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: He knows the guy's names, he.

298
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: Knows the runs that were calling, instead of just guys

299
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: pointing him to the direction.

300
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean, that was amazing. We didn't plan on play

301
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: him at all.

302
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: I think we think he got here on a Friday

303
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: afternoon and then I told John no way. But then

304
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: when I talked to him on the phone and the

305
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: way he was talking to me, I was like, I

306
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: better send this guy a playbook. He might be playing

307
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: because he's adamant that he can do it. And then

308
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: when we played him, he was definitely right. So that

309
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: was a sign of what we had. He was amazing

310
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: in that game and he's been the same dude ever since.

311
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: All Right, thanks guys,
