Speaker 1: All right for practice today. Matthew Wright shoulder and back,
Speaker 1: will not practice. Jake Moody right ankle won't practice. Jwan
Speaker 1: jennings hip won't practice. Relie Collins knee won't practice, Leonard
Speaker 1: Floyd's having a VET day, Jordan Elliott knee limited, Jordan
Speaker 1: Mason's shoulder limited, Deebo Samuel Riss limited, and Mustafa ankle limited.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: The risk is that what he was shaking his arm out.
Speaker 2: After the game. Probably, Yeah. We didn't know during the
Speaker 2: game though, found that the next day. Picked something up
Speaker 2: on Monday. No, he had something in the game. We
Speaker 2: just didn't know about a Friday morning. It was like
Speaker 2: a you send some kind of you know, players react
Speaker 2: to this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think everyone's excited for him to be out. You know,
Speaker 2: we just had walked to day, but Monday was our
Speaker 2: first day. I'm back with him, and we let him
Speaker 2: break the team down. He was excited. We didn't do much.
Speaker 2: We just had one two minute drill. He was out
Speaker 2: of breath from it, so we mess with him trying
Speaker 2: to get him to talk right away. It's more just
Speaker 2: because he was so excited to be out there and stuff.
Speaker 2: But it was a good first day and pump to
Speaker 2: see him out there this afternoon. Do you feel like
Speaker 2: his presence just in making his return kind of uplooded
Speaker 2: the team. I know they had all extra time off
Speaker 2: the rest as well. Yeah, I think I think more
Speaker 2: of the guys are just happy for him and they
Speaker 2: know he's wanted to be a part of this. It's
Speaker 2: been a crazy story on him delaying to be a
Speaker 2: part of it, and uh, he's worked to get here,
Speaker 2: and I know the guys are just excited for him
Speaker 2: and ready to support him, help him come along.
Speaker 3: After Mossa and Leonard Floyd, your depth, after those guys
Speaker 3: have potential, you know, after them, but they really haven't
Speaker 3: done it at the end of the level in our improvement.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that and is that something
Speaker 3: you think might need to be addressed, you.
Speaker 4: Know, before trade dead one.
Speaker 2: And I feel good about that. I mean, it's you
Speaker 2: always want I mean, you'd love to have four pro
Speaker 2: bowlers just in there, but I think that's the reality
Speaker 2: of most teams. I think it's very rare to have
Speaker 2: a situation that is better than that. You know, it
Speaker 2: did hurt, you know, we had big plans for each tour,
Speaker 2: you know, so him going on, I are hurt, but
Speaker 2: we hope to get him back later this year. So
Speaker 2: you know, we have some possible guys in the rise.
Speaker 2: And coming back to.
Speaker 4: How much Super Bowl film are you watching versus what
Speaker 4: they put.
Speaker 2: On tape this year, Well, you stick with the five
Speaker 2: games they've done this year, and you go back to
Speaker 2: our last game with them, So you also go to
Speaker 2: previous games of US versus them. When coordinators don't change,
Speaker 2: scheme doesn't change. You tie in all those games characterize
Speaker 2: going up against the technology defense is there? Has it
Speaker 2: been about a similar field to go going up against
Speaker 2: his defenses over the last weeks. I think it's gotten
Speaker 2: better and better each year. I thought last year was
Speaker 2: the best defense that we played all year, and I
Speaker 2: feel that way this year so far. So Uh, they
Speaker 2: got guys who've been playing a long time together. They've
Speaker 2: been doing his scheme for a while. He's been doing
Speaker 2: a scheme for so long, but they continue to add
Speaker 2: to it, They continue to fine tune in and I
Speaker 2: got a lot of respect for him and his scheme.
Speaker 4: Had a lot of success game planning for Aaron Donald
Speaker 4: over the year. Exceptions to this, but usually he has
Speaker 4: quiet games against you.
Speaker 3: Why don't you think you've had the same success against
Speaker 3: Chris Jones? What's what's the difference there?
Speaker 2: There's just different variables they do with their stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes a little bit harder to eliminate them where he
Speaker 2: goes and just some of the pressures they do. But
Speaker 2: he definitely deserves that attention. He's as good as player
Speaker 2: there is and we try our hardest to take him out,
Speaker 2: but he makes that pretty hard.
Speaker 4: What are the hallmarks of Andy Reid scheme or Andy
Speaker 4: ree offense?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it features around their quarterback obviously
Speaker 2: puts them in a great position to make a ton
Speaker 2: of plays, and he has a guy who can make
Speaker 2: a ton of plays. You know, they always dabble on
Speaker 2: all screens, r pos. You always gotta be ready for
Speaker 2: new plays, one that you haven't seen. And always enjoyed
Speaker 2: watching Andy since he was back in Philly, and he
Speaker 2: continues to evolve.
Speaker 3: Also, whether they're so manavy against you guys in the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. You've seen a lot of man this year,
Speaker 3: maybe more than in recent years. Is is that a
Speaker 3: coincidents or do you since maybe teams are kind of
Speaker 3: trying to follow.
Speaker 2: Some sort of blueprints. Uh, I think some games we have,
Speaker 2: some we haven't, you know, you know, last game, I
Speaker 2: didn't see it that way. But you know, they did
Speaker 2: more in the Super Bowl than they had in the past.
Speaker 2: And I think in the past here like twenty percent, man,
Speaker 2: and they went up to thirty five percent in the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And that's about where they are this year.
Speaker 2: Last year, going into that game, you know, they play
Speaker 2: more press and stuff than anyone in the league all
Speaker 2: of last year and they're still doing that this year too.
Speaker 2: So you know, when you're in crucial situations, especially the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, they blitz more than anyone in the league
Speaker 2: last year and that's true this year too. So usually
Speaker 2: when that's the case, you see man. So it goes
Speaker 2: with their scheme. And uh, they definitely did a little
Speaker 2: bit more last year too.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: You kind of mentioned that last week ahead of the
Speaker 4: Seahawks battle. You said it wasn't a must win, but
Speaker 4: it kind of is a must win. Is the conversation
Speaker 4: going into this one given a history between you guys
Speaker 4: and Kansas City and then the ability to kind of
Speaker 4: put the rest of the league on notice with a win,
Speaker 4: is that the same type of conversation you're having with it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I try to have the same conversation every week.
Speaker 2: I just worded a little differently, But you never I
Speaker 2: never want to say the words must win until if
Speaker 2: we don't win, we're eliminated from the playoffs. So that's
Speaker 2: the only time it's a true must win. But my
Speaker 2: words were last week that this is I'll never say
Speaker 2: it's must win until it's that situation. But a damn
Speaker 2: sure feels like one. And I think that had to
Speaker 2: do with just losing two tight games to in our division,
Speaker 2: being owing to in our division, going against a division opponent.
Speaker 2: I see this game like I see all games. I
Speaker 2: feel like they're all I mean, every game matter is huge.
Speaker 2: But I didn't choose those words this week.
Speaker 3: Kicker, I assume his insurance for for right, whether he
Speaker 3: can go or not.
Speaker 4: And Carlson's not really historically a deep kickoff guy either.
Speaker 3: Would you ever.
Speaker 2: Consider bringing in a guy at least.
Speaker 3: For a while, just to kick off and then have
Speaker 3: a placekicker do the place kicker or you just don't
Speaker 3: want to.
Speaker 2: Use two spots for that. I mean I'd love to.
Speaker 2: You just got to see what's what position you want
Speaker 2: to go? Short at so, I mean, I could always
Speaker 2: be a possibility, but you know that's that does take
Speaker 2: a toll on the aster a big time. If you
Speaker 2: ever had one injury at the wrong spot, that would
Speaker 2: be a big regret. But that is an interesting decision,
Speaker 2: but probably something we won't do.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes having a down season by his standards, What
Speaker 1: do you see from him in particular?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think everyone says down year just
Speaker 2: because their numbers aren't just crazy, But I mean Pat's
Speaker 2: as good as it gets. He's been as good as
Speaker 2: it gets since the first year that he got to play.
Speaker 2: You know, all their games, I think, except for one,
Speaker 2: have come down to the last possession, and he's as
Speaker 2: good as anyone in that last possession. You know, they're
Speaker 2: running numbers aren't quite what they were last year. Their
Speaker 2: red zone isn't real high, so I think that equates
Speaker 2: to numbers. But Pats patt and he's as good as
Speaker 2: it gets and I don't see that changing at all.
Speaker 3: Rock was the number one quarterback in the league this
Speaker 3: year and last year on the play action, but I
Speaker 3: noticed that the play action percentage.
Speaker 2: This year is down.
Speaker 1: Is there any reason for that that you guys haven't
Speaker 1: run as many play action passes this year.
Speaker 2: No, we just we try to run what we think
Speaker 2: looks on tape, and it kind of just depends on
Speaker 2: how people are playing us. And sometimes we think it
Speaker 2: looks really good. Sometimes we think it's not so good.
Speaker 2: So it's it's not like we don't just do things
Speaker 2: every week, because we do it. I think it's just
Speaker 2: been just a matter how the schedule's played out. You
Speaker 2: feel like your receivers have down against man coverage season.
Speaker 2: I thought they've done some good stuff. I'm sure you
Speaker 2: guys have analytics on that that I want to be
Speaker 2: well aware of, but you know, I'm always trying to
Speaker 2: prove and everything. But you know, I think we've won
Speaker 2: some and we've lost some as usual. Well, I mentioned that,
Speaker 2: you know, the Chiefs are specifically a team you guys
Speaker 2: have not succeeded against recently. Games and as a coach
Speaker 2: all the time make one bigger than the other. But
Speaker 2: do you feel that a little bit like you've had
Speaker 2: some apparently large losses against this team. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: everyone understands that we've lost the two Super Bowls to them,
Speaker 2: So I mean that can give a little post traumatic
Speaker 2: stress when you turn on the tape. But I think
Speaker 2: that's human nature. But you got to make sure you
Speaker 2: don't get caught up in that. You know, this game
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with past games that was last year.
Speaker 2: We're playing it really good AFC opponent. We're five hundred
Speaker 2: right now. We want to stay on top of our
Speaker 2: division and get a win. Uh, I don't really. I
Speaker 2: mean you think about that stuff going into it, but
Speaker 2: in terms of what it plays out in a game,
Speaker 2: it really has no correlation, and you try to make
Speaker 2: sure that it doesn't.
Speaker 3: This game super Bowl in over time, they're plenty of
Speaker 3: plays you're like, crap, if only but that fourth and one,
Speaker 3: you know, you get a defensive stop and the game
Speaker 3: is over.
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
Speaker 3: Up there as far as.
Speaker 2: Plays, you're like, not necessarily. I mean, fourth and one
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's fifty to fifty, you know, so
Speaker 2: I mean there's other plays that are worse, but you
Speaker 2: can go through a lot of them, but that that's
Speaker 2: not I mean, that's your opportunity. You know, you got
Speaker 2: to stop for one yard and then it's over and
Speaker 2: you know you're Super Bowl champs. So it's hard when
Speaker 2: it comes to that. But I think there's a number
Speaker 2: number of other plays in that game that were just
Speaker 2: as important, right.
Speaker 3: Expert opinion, A well designed play. I mean, what was
Speaker 3: there something that could have been done? W was there
Speaker 3: anything like or go wrong with the defense there? Or
Speaker 3: do you just kind of tip your cap and say, hey,
Speaker 3: you got us.
Speaker 2: No. I mean, it's just it's hard to defend everything.
Speaker 2: I mean fourth to one is one of the tougher
Speaker 2: spots in football. I mean, you wanna start out with sneaks,
Speaker 2: you know, you gotta defend the edges, you gotta defend
Speaker 2: the dive. You know, you play tight man coverage. You
Speaker 2: gotta defend every rollout pick play. And then when you
Speaker 2: call play like that, you gotta do eleven on eleven
Speaker 2: and defend the quarterback. So, uh, you can't defend every play.
Speaker 2: And they got us in a good situation where they
Speaker 2: ran their quarterback and we had one guy on 'em
Speaker 2: had a chance to stop it. But uh, it's not
Speaker 2: an easy one to.
Speaker 4: Stop on his kickoffs during his cry out.
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't go out to his tryout and so
Speaker 2: good enough to sign of.
Speaker 4: Is that a concern though? I mean, uh, these guys
Speaker 4: coming in.
Speaker 2: I everything's a concern. I mean, especially when guys are available.
Speaker 2: You know, if there were zero concerns, you I think
Speaker 2: guys would be somewhere right now. So you look into
Speaker 2: all that and you try to make the best option,
Speaker 2: and that our guy last week did a hell of
Speaker 2: a job coming in being three for three. There's a
Speaker 2: lot of kickoffs we would wish it would have gone
Speaker 2: in to the end zone. You know, we had that
Speaker 2: with Robby towards the end of his career. You know,
Speaker 2: he was automatic kicker, but didn't always get it out there.
Speaker 2: You know, We've tried it with Mitch. So that's stuff
Speaker 2: you always want, but it's not guaranteed, especially as the
Speaker 2: year gets going and it gets colder. That's why we
Speaker 2: got to get better kickoff coverage as it goes.
Speaker 1: Also, of all the one on one matchups this game
Speaker 1: can have, do you get time to appreciate a Fred
Speaker 1: Warner going against Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 2: I don't really get time to appreciate it. But it's
Speaker 2: one that I'm glad that we got Fred Warner because
Speaker 2: Kelsey is as good as it gets also, and so
Speaker 2: we got to have one that's as good as it
Speaker 2: gets to match up. And that's a hell of a
Speaker 2: competition between those two, all right, Thanks guys,
