1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: The success you guys had thrown the ball on Saturday.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Does that encourage you that you can you can do

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: more of that going forward? Is that strictly that was

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: just a game plan? You know? I think every week

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: is different. I think every week you just got to

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: go through and um evaluate, you know, which what you

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: think that he consuming presenttion put together the best plan

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: you can you can do in both the past of

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: one game. But the analytics say that you have the

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: second most efficient red zone offense. What is your red

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: zone approach generally that you've been able to be so

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: efficient in the red zone. I think first and foremost,

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: I think the players are in a good job executing

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: down there be um you know, extending their assignments with

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: great attention to detail and fundamentals and techniques and um

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, as far as potting to get the plan together,

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, we look at it each week and find

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: out how we can put just our best players in

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: those spots and whether it's the run game, find a

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, find an indicator and find an advantage. There's

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: as best we can. A lot of teams say that

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: it gets obviously gets harder there because the field get smaller,

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: so do you emphasize creativity there? Is it more about balance?

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Is it more just generally yeah, generally speaking, you know,

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: you want to try and find, um, you know, a

26
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: tendency and what they do in the coverage standpoint, and

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: then trying to you know, find a way to create

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: an advantage there in the run game of the past game,

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, shifting motioning influencing the defense to

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: maybe expand a little bit more because just like you

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: said that you know it's condensed, there's you don't not

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: defend the depth of the field now you can. You

33
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: got to use you know, the width of it. So UM,

34
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: you know you're trying to maybe expand it to run

35
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: inside or condensed to turn outside or you know run

36
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: guys packing forth across the formation to um to create

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: some space. So there's a lot of things that we

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: look at, but those are some my my gaft of

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: the game. UM And even yesterday, I think Quan was

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: highly um complimentary of Feliciano on that touchdown run. Other

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: than the fact that you obviously scored that everyone celebrates

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: what was the best part overall of that entire play? Yeah,

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: I think and the guys just you know, they worked on,

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: they executed to play well and started with with the

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: old line and get into their blocks and created some

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: nize double teams. And then the way that we had

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: that play, Daniel, Um, it was kind of like an

48
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: r P O zone read style play. Danna made the

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: right read and trusted his rules and the guys. The

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: guys made a great play. And then say Quad obviously

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: felt his you know, read through his reads and his

52
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: landmarks and then you know, got through flash scrimmage and

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: made a play you know, kind of like a broken

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: tackle there and made a great play on the field.

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: That was big forums part though, because again Siguad went

56
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: out of his way to say John recognized an unseen look.

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I believe, Oh, it wasn't look we had talked about.

58
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: It was just, Um, it was just one of those

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: one of those look that's kind of down the line,

60
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: that was like a primary look. And they did a

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: great job really in the huddle identifying the personnel and

62
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: so they were able to kind of get the communication

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: done beforehand. And how there and a block up that look.

64
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: That's a big play in the game. I'm curious, what's

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the daw process for you call of calling a play

66
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: that could I guess it could have been a run

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: or pass according to what you said, but that could

68
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: be a run in that spot there. Yeah, it's um,

69
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, that's the design that we have. It's it's flexible,

70
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: could be around, could be a pass. You kind of

71
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: take the best look that you get from whatever the

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: defense wants to present, and so you kind of get

73
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds and you know, maybe you

74
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to have at the se Quan. You

75
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: can an opportunity to get on the perimeter with Daniel

76
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: throw it to one of the receivers. So you kind

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: of got three options there that that's why we like

78
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: to black. You don't worry though about potentially running the

79
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: ball on the fourth down there though in that spot. Um,

80
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: just part of it's part of the it's part of

81
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: the it's part of the play gives you those options,

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: so you know you bank on I think guys going

83
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: in there next que like it did. Why is it

84
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: that he seems to be so effective in that third

85
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: and fourth quarter, Like when the defense gets tired, he

86
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: doesn't and he's just you know, it's really when he

87
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: seems to start I think I think he's just doing

88
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: a great job and just stay patient with it and

89
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: trusting his reads. I think, you know, sometimes the round

90
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: games in general, generally speaking, the run games not just

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of eight and nine yard games, right, There's

92
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: a couple of twos and threes in there, and you

93
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: just you get working and you get a feel for

94
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: how the flow of the game works out, and the

95
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: old linees sticking with it and they're you know, they're

96
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: running off the football and stressing all the things that

97
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: we talked about in practice, and so I think, you know,

98
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: as the game goes on, it kind of declares a

99
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit um. You know, you kind of get a

100
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: good feel in that second half of the adjustments you

101
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: want to make. And the guys have done a great

102
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: job just really communicating through those How have you seeing, Daniel,

103
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: I guess we're more comfortable and the reading versus maybe

104
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: running and throwing the ball. Is the season gone? Yeah?

105
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I think, um, I think he's doing a really good

106
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: job with that. I think, you know, he's he's strusting

107
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: himself with those reads. I think he's doing a good

108
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: job stepping up in the pocket when there's lanes stepping

109
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: up and round. I think you saw that last week,

110
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: and um, those are things that I think make from

111
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback position to make it difficult for defenses to

112
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: defend when you have a quarterback that's that's mobile, that

113
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: can step up and do those things. And he's done

114
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: a great job of making those right decisions when you

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: get the ball out want to step up. And so, yeah,

116
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: what are the benefits of Benn and Nick rotating them?

117
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: It is the biggest benefit of that. Yeah, I think

118
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: it keeps both of those guys fresh, and I think

119
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: um and they do a great job really throughout the

120
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: week of practice too, of communicating and make sure they

121
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: see the looks and talking about the looks. So you know,

122
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: the rotation I think is benefitab both of those guys.

123
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: What's the difficulty and how do you decide that this

124
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: is working? Yeah, I think you know, we talked about

125
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: it and again every week is different and didn't say

126
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: we could we may or may not do it this week,

127
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: and and you know it's something we talked about with

128
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Dave's and and Bobby and how we want to roll

129
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: those guys. But um, it worked last week and I

130
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: think they did a nice job with it and kind

131
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: of getting to the flow of the game. So we'll

132
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: continue to evaluate this week how they've been able to

133
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: find the chemistry. What did you think about your offensive

134
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: arm past protected? Yeah, I thought I thought they did

135
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: a nice job. I think they stayed within themselves, protect them,

136
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: to tap them with the pocket inside out. Those are

137
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: things that we worked out. Obviously, it's never going to

138
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: be perfect, but these guys battle, and that's what I'm

139
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: really proud of from that from that group. If they

140
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: if they have a game where they're struggling early, does

141
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: that impact how you call the game or would you

142
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: rather keep giving them another shot. Let's say I'd like

143
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: deeper jock acts and you get I think. I think

144
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: what you what you want to show is you know

145
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: you want to first off, build a plan that has

146
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: the flexibility to um to adjust for whatever the situation

147
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: might be. But I have a ton of confidence in

148
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: those guys. I know they're gonna fight. I know they're

149
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna work on No. I trust you know, not only

150
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: the align the quarterback position, the running backs getting and

151
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: blocking their responsibilities, receivers separate and getting open um tight ends,

152
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: separat and getting open and doing their assignments. In the

153
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: past game. So it's all encompassing and we're all we're

154
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: all together, and I think, you know, as the game

155
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: goes on, you know, you you adjust as as the

156
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: game goes When you've had when you're rotating those guards

157
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: like you guys are, how have you been able to

158
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: find the chemistry with the groups. I think that the

159
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: cliche around the league is you need to find five

160
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: and stick with the five stake and learn to play.

161
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: To you guys seem to have found some of that

162
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: camaraderie despite the fact you rotate. Yeah, it's been good

163
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: to have those guys around all through OTIS and all

164
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: through training camp, and so you know, they're all speaking

165
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: the same language, and I think they've done a great

166
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: job just the next man up, stepping up, um, and

167
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: then communicating across the line. Like you know, we talked

168
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: about Feliciano is he's the main guy. He's got to

169
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: get everyone going in the right direction. It's at the

170
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: point um confirming that with the quarterback. And so those

171
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: guys work together a lot, They talk a lot. They

172
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time in the meeting room a lot,

173
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: and after each practice set talking about the looks that

174
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: they saw and how they can make it better or cleaner,

175
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: and then tying that in with how Bobby and Tony

176
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and Shay and how those guys communicate. That's, Um, that's

177
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: a huge part of it. So I mean, hats off

178
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: to them for forgetting it done, and we've got to

179
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: continue to do that. This week made no secret about

180
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he wants to be a head coach,

181
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: and when the Colts job opened your your name was

182
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: thrown around right away. If we under Vasha about this year,

183
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: is that an ambition of yours to become a head coach? Yeah,

184
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: absolutely aspired to want to be a head coach, Um,

185
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: But really it's it's not really at the front of

186
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: my mind at all. Um, you know, focus on this week.

187
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: All that stuff will take care of itself. Mike, I

188
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: don't know how many times Kansas City has made the

189
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: playoffs in a row. But to join this group and

190
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: to see whatever you're seeing that we don't from from

191
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: the group. Now that you're on the cusp with a win,

192
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: what has that part of it been like with this

193
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: new team for you? Yeah? Yeah, I think it's just

194
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: been a great, great journey to go through this season,

195
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: the ups and the downs, you know, you're you're always um.

196
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, you're always trying to improve on things you've

197
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: done in the past. So this week is really no different.

198
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: You know, last week we didn't get an opportunity to

199
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: get it done, so we got to go back to

200
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: the drawing board and and figure out ways how we

201
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: can tighten up the things that we didn't do so

202
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: well and continue to build on all the good that

203
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: we did last week. Philosophic, that's when you're putting together

204
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: a game plan every week. And I know there are

205
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: great players across the NFL, but when you face defense

206
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: that has a corner with the pedigree like Peterson last

207
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: week and now you have Gilmore this week, from your perspective,

208
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: when you're putting that together, you know, there's this tendency

209
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: to shy away from those guys. You know, you kind

210
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: of just focus on the rest of the field. But

211
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: do you do you look at it as a situation

212
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: where we're going to do what we do and we

213
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: need to attack the way we attack and if it's

214
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: against that player, so be it will take our shots. Yeah,

215
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: and they have a lot of really talented players on

216
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: that defense, and so you have to like when you're

217
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: developing the plan, you try and figure out, you know,

218
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: how you can you know, use your players strengths maybe

219
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: against their weaknesses and understand what they're really good at

220
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: as a defensive standpoint, and figure out ways and how

221
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: you can manipulate that. So, yeah, you definitely think about

222
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: the matchups, think about their personnel versus our personnel, our

223
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: personnel verson there. Like, you look at all those type

224
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: of things and and figure out the best schemes, um

225
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: in best ways to get our guys in those spots
