Speaker 1: Good morning, morning morning, mister Peters. What's the latest time
Speaker 1: on rbal Darby's injury. Um, well, this is something we're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna gather a little bit more information on this.
Speaker 1: We haven't um talking with our doctors and and uh
Speaker 1: and Paduzzi. We need to get some more information on
Speaker 1: it before we make a full statement on it. You
Speaker 1: can't go. Is the plan to bump up or soul
Speaker 1: to bump up? C J? Smith? What are kind of
Speaker 1: a continuency? Yeah, we'll look at that this week too.
Speaker 1: You know, we do have um, obviously results sitting there
Speaker 1: and and uh, um CJ. You know obviously, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll look at it, talk with Schwartz in
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. I have a plan. Um,
Speaker 1: if you can't go, then then possibly result. What about
Speaker 1: Jason Peters and Caleb Sturgeon. Caleb is in the same
Speaker 1: with with Ronald. We're gonna get some more information on
Speaker 1: him before we make a full statement and then and
Speaker 1: with Jason Peters will be day to day. Some kickers,
Speaker 1: uh this week, just in case, just in case, Yes,
Speaker 1: when you were your running game when Carson was on
Speaker 1: a center, You're to open up a running game a
Speaker 1: little bit more and seeing the hope the play action
Speaker 1: as well. Was that body design going into the game
Speaker 1: or did it in the full as a game of
Speaker 1: fo Yeah, it's it's something that we looked at, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know in the off season for our offense. Um,
Speaker 1: Carson a little more under center. Um, I think it does,
Speaker 1: especially on first and second down. Uh, run game, play
Speaker 1: action pass so you know, we got our big chunks
Speaker 1: in the passing game came off of that. So those
Speaker 1: are things that we'll continue to look at as we go. Uh,
Speaker 1: Carson under he's also comfortable under center as well. Um,
Speaker 1: but uh, but we gotta we gotta be careful as
Speaker 1: far as uh, you know what we're doing under center.
Speaker 1: So it's not an indicator to to our teams. There
Speaker 1: was a there was a report on NFL Network that
Speaker 1: four to six weeks for for Derby. Are you saying
Speaker 1: that that's I have Well, obviously before this I haven't
Speaker 1: seen that yet. Uh, just talking with our doctors, were
Speaker 1: gathering more information before we make a full statement. What
Speaker 1: did you see from rasseul Um? Do you feel like
Speaker 1: if he is up that he's ready for Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he you know, he's put himself in a good position.
Speaker 1: I thought he he came out of camp better than
Speaker 1: than he improved from from OTA's into training camp. He improved,
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of confidence in him. Uh,
Speaker 1: if if that's the direction we go on defense couples,
Speaker 1: you weren't able to connect with him. I wasn't. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but what does that do to the mindset of the
Speaker 1: quoting defense even if you're not connecting on those places,
Speaker 1: but they see that. Yeah, you know, it's it just
Speaker 1: goes without without saying. I mean, you've got to take
Speaker 1: those those opportunities. You gotta you gotta take those shots,
Speaker 1: you know. And you just see sometimes when you're when
Speaker 1: you're maybe you're struggling offensively or or um maybe you're
Speaker 1: not moving the ball something like that, the run game's
Speaker 1: not really clicking, defenses begin to kind of crowd the
Speaker 1: box and you start seeing more eight and nine guys
Speaker 1: sometimes around the box, and and you know, we've got
Speaker 1: to we've got to continue to take shots and and
Speaker 1: and do that. And we had them, we had them
Speaker 1: there yesterday. They you know, we got in behind the
Speaker 1: defense a little bit and and just miss so um
Speaker 1: it and then by doing that, it just shows you can.
Speaker 1: Number one, you can do it offensively, but two, um
Speaker 1: it backs them up just a little bit more and
Speaker 1: it opens up some other things underneath. You're only ran
Speaker 1: the ball to all times in the first three quarters,
Speaker 1: and I think the running backs average two point eight
Speaker 1: yards pro tempt. What do you have to do to
Speaker 1: get better than it? Is it a matter of just
Speaker 1: sticking it out and and even if it's not working,
Speaker 1: running the ball more or what do you need to
Speaker 1: do to get more balancing and give them time? Yeah,
Speaker 1: obviously at the end of the day, it's not good enough.
Speaker 1: You know, the running game is not good enough. We
Speaker 1: pride ourselves on on running the football here, and we've
Speaker 1: got backs in linemen and tight ends really and that
Speaker 1: can help us do that. And you know, watching the
Speaker 1: film last night on on the way home and then
Speaker 1: again this morning, a couple of times, we're just we're close.
Speaker 1: We're close. I mean, we just have to finish blocks,
Speaker 1: sustained blocks. There's uh, there were a couple and this
Speaker 1: is always happens going into week one. There's always a
Speaker 1: few unscouted defensive looks that they present that that gave
Speaker 1: us some problems. Early UM made made the corrections during
Speaker 1: the game, and um, you know had some success later
Speaker 1: in the game on some of the same runs. So
Speaker 1: it's close. We gotta keep detailing. I keep working it, um,
Speaker 1: and just just continue to get better getting back along
Speaker 1: the feet balls. Um. Carson worked a lot on that
Speaker 1: this all season. As to the offense, looking at the
Speaker 1: film over some of the things that were that weren't clicking.
Speaker 1: He underthrew one man, he overthrew well the first play
Speaker 1: of the game was was his front foot slipped and
Speaker 1: he couldn't get everything on it, so it was a
Speaker 1: little underthrown, um. And so because of that, in the
Speaker 1: back of your mind as a quarterback, you said, the
Speaker 1: next time I get that opportunity, I don't want to
Speaker 1: underthrow it. So that was the reason for the overthrow.
Speaker 1: But obviously he made the great scramble deep throw on
Speaker 1: the run to uh to Nelson early third down play
Speaker 1: for the for the touchdown. And then and then a
Speaker 1: couple of times all Shan, you know, we had a
Speaker 1: couple he had his hands on the ball a couple
Speaker 1: of times right before on one and then and then
Speaker 1: later in the game. So you know, Um, we just
Speaker 1: gotta keep keep keep drilling it, keep working it, um,
Speaker 1: keep throwing it, and um, you know, uh, it's different
Speaker 1: from practice than than game. Obviously game speeds a lot different,
Speaker 1: but these are plays that our guys definitely need to make. Mention.
Speaker 1: You mentioned with the run game, the blocking and you
Speaker 1: certain guys assignment handling their assignments. Do you feel that
Speaker 1: it was and I know the run game is about
Speaker 1: the blockers and the running backs, but did you feel
Speaker 1: like it was more on the blocking than the backs
Speaker 1: or I think I think it's it's shit. It's a
Speaker 1: shared Um, you know, it's a it's shared responsibility. Some
Speaker 1: of it's the running back hitting the hole exactly where
Speaker 1: we would we need it, and then other times it's
Speaker 1: just sustaining blocks and combo blocks. We do a lot
Speaker 1: of you know, zone schemes in this offense, so it's
Speaker 1: just it's a timing thing too. So those are things
Speaker 1: we continue to work on each week and and get better.
Speaker 1: The guys will look at this film and see the
Speaker 1: see the good and the bad, and obviously fix it
Speaker 1: and move forward to get away from the a little
Speaker 1: earlier than would probably be ideal. Yesterday, you know, it
Speaker 1: was funny because in the middle of the part of
Speaker 1: the game, I felt like we were going backwards just
Speaker 1: a little bit. We had some negative we had some sacks,
Speaker 1: we had negative rushing plays, we had some penalties in there,
Speaker 1: and so it felt like, yeah, probably a little bit
Speaker 1: felt like we were getting away from it. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, we've got to do better on first
Speaker 1: and second down to stay positive so that we can
Speaker 1: continue to run the ball a little later, to get
Speaker 1: some timing from rhythm going Yeah, you're so short of
Speaker 1: tackle can chase house the week you've been Have you
Speaker 1: given any consideration to moving Isaac out there and maybe
Speaker 1: plugging stuffing in a card? No, but those are all
Speaker 1: considerations based on what we did last year. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: with the Baltimore game, having Isaac out there, obviously you
Speaker 1: know a big v I thought stepped in and you know, um,
Speaker 1: with really limited reps, it tackled during the week. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, did did well? You know did well? Was
Speaker 1: a perfect no. Um, So those are those are conversations
Speaker 1: we'll have these next couple of days. Can feel. What's
Speaker 1: your sense of how Andrecks graded out? He seemed to
Speaker 1: make himself apparent on the opportunities he got. Michael, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought, he thought, he again, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: uh kind of picked up where he where he left
Speaker 1: off in training camp. Had had a solid game. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, was was around the ball, flying around close
Speaker 1: to the quarterback a couple of times. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just it's just Michael and um, I thought, I thought, overall, Um,
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good day for him. You know, he's
Speaker 1: getting he's getting comfortable in the scheme. Went against the blitz.
Speaker 1: Was that a point of emphasis during the off season
Speaker 1: heading into year two? And what did you see went
Speaker 1: against the blitz? Against the blitz? And was that a
Speaker 1: point of emphasis for for you guys heading into year two?
Speaker 1: And what did you see? Yeah, well, you know, as again,
Speaker 1: it was an emphasis on on our part as coaches
Speaker 1: to make sure that we um present you know, in
Speaker 1: the off season, um, and spend time working the blitz.
Speaker 1: Again yesterday first game of the year, there was there
Speaker 1: were there were a couple of un scouted blitzes that
Speaker 1: that what picks. There were pick stunts and they pick
Speaker 1: our guard and rapid tackle and got us early in
Speaker 1: the game. And and um, you know those are things
Speaker 1: that we can we get. We just got to see everything,
Speaker 1: you know, and and put our guys in that position.
Speaker 1: Carson's got to see it. And um, you know there
Speaker 1: were some times too yesterday where where he could have
Speaker 1: he could have, you know, maybe made a quicker throw,
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hand. Those are things
Speaker 1: that he'll continue to get better at, um, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get better in the protection as well. Yesterday was well,
Speaker 1: actually the second play of the game after the shot
Speaker 1: was actually designed to go to uh seventeen, and what
Speaker 1: happened was twenty four. Josh Norman actually played on his
Speaker 1: outside hip and took away the post corner that we
Speaker 1: had called, so that was played. Number two was actually
Speaker 1: designed for seventeen. And then just really as the game unfolded, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I was I was trying to be real
Speaker 1: conscious of of trying to I don't want to say
Speaker 1: forcing balls, but trying to get seventeen involved getting eighty two,
Speaker 1: involved getting eighty six involved along with the runners, and um,
Speaker 1: you know, once once we got seventeen, a couple of touches, uh,
Speaker 1: and then he made another big catch late in the
Speaker 1: game to really end the two point conversion, which was huge.
Speaker 1: So um, he did exactly what we had asked him
Speaker 1: to do. And then we'll continue to grow. Conversion was
Speaker 1: because a lot because of Caleb at that situation. Um,
Speaker 1: I just didn't uh, I didn't feel comfortable. Um. You
Speaker 1: know again, obviously he had to kick off after that,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to just limit limit the number of
Speaker 1: number of kicks he have to just I mean, did
Speaker 1: you have to go to him just gut it out
Speaker 1: for the kickoff? Would we think about Donnie Donnie in
Speaker 1: that situation. No, just he was he was okay to
Speaker 1: to gut it out on that on that last kick,
Speaker 1: and that's why it was a mortar or sky kick
Speaker 1: in that situation. Um. And so but yeah, he'd admiraal
Speaker 1: job of finishing that game. What happened? Yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was early in the game. Um, and it's just uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's lower body as hip. So we just again,
Speaker 1: we just got to get more information and we'll have
Speaker 1: something probably full you you guys, it seemed like Patrick
Speaker 1: Robins and Jane will Watkins played well when when Darby
Speaker 1: went out, allowed Jim to keep up blitzing, keep pressure.
Speaker 1: If this is a long haul thing, not having Ron Darby,
Speaker 1: you're gonna face Tyreek hill Odell Beckhama Fee's back. Is
Speaker 1: it going to be a little bit more problematic though,
Speaker 1: to to be as aggressive as you want when you
Speaker 1: face those kind of guys, those speed guys, well, those
Speaker 1: guys are always going to give you problems. You know,
Speaker 1: they're they're tough to defend, you know, speed guys, quick,
Speaker 1: shifty guys. And you know, um, you know we're we're
Speaker 1: we're as we look at it, you know, if you know,
Speaker 1: if if Result's in there, if Jalen's in there, Watkins
Speaker 1: is in there. Um, you know, try to keep Patrick
Speaker 1: Robinson um possibly at the Nickel spot as much as
Speaker 1: we can. I think it's beneficial for guys to learn
Speaker 1: one spot. And he's been comfortable in there. Can he
Speaker 1: get you out of a game at corner? Yes he can.
Speaker 1: He did it yesterday a little bit. Uh and then
Speaker 1: and then uh, you know with the three safeties that
Speaker 1: we have, obviously we know Malcolm can can play nicol
Speaker 1: and then Corey Graham comes into game. So yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, um, it's gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those situations where it's gonna take all hands on deck,
Speaker 1: you know, these next few weeks to to uh to
Speaker 1: to really get the job done. If they would targeting there,
Speaker 1: they were really going to try to attack you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: teams are gonna look at it, and and uh, you
Speaker 1: know they're gonna study your Tennessee are gonna get injuries obviously,
Speaker 1: and and uh you know as we do and try
Speaker 1: to focus on those spots with the report. In respect
Speaker 1: to uh, the Jim Schwartz, did you feel the need
Speaker 1: to to clear the air and where does that stand? No,
Speaker 1: I did not. I mean Jim and I have always
Speaker 1: had a great relationship and and um, you know it
Speaker 1: was Um it's I don't want to tell you. I
Speaker 1: mean Jim and I have always had a great relationship
Speaker 1: and and um um even yesterday. You know, the communications
Speaker 1: always there. Um, we we talked quite a bit actually
Speaker 1: during the week. And um, I love his enthusiasm. I
Speaker 1: love his swagger. I think our defensive guy's feed off
Speaker 1: of that. You know, most decordinators I've ever been around
Speaker 1: have that and and and he's no different. And that's
Speaker 1: what I one of the things I like about Jim
Speaker 1: and the fact that he has it and his guys
Speaker 1: are the guy's feed off of that, and that's the
Speaker 1: way they play. You lose guys like Darby and Jason
Speaker 1: Peters drating course of the game and stuff, and how
Speaker 1: how are you as coaches, you know, able to adjust
Speaker 1: on the fly, you know, the way he did. Do
Speaker 1: you change anything at all? You the next man up mentality?
Speaker 1: I mean that's always been that way. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you might make subtle adjustments initially for a play or
Speaker 1: two or a series, but then once you have time
Speaker 1: to sort of digest what's going on, you say, you
Speaker 1: know what this is. Okay, now, Big V, you're going in.
Speaker 1: You got it. You know. JP tried to come back
Speaker 1: and finish and and uh then we said, hey, big V,
Speaker 1: you take it. You know, in the same way on defense. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Darby was a different situation because he came out immediately, um,
Speaker 1: and and we made it work. And it's just always
Speaker 1: been the next man mentality, you know, in those situations.
Speaker 1: What do you think it'll be like this week? I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody knows Avy like you do. What do you think
Speaker 1: that'll be like down there? Yeah, it'll be it'll be fun.
Speaker 1: It'll be fun to see him over there, big Red
Speaker 1: on the other side. Um, you know, But at the
Speaker 1: same time I know that that he wants to kick
Speaker 1: my tail and I want to kick his and uh um,
Speaker 1: you know, listen, Andy Reid teams are well prepared as
Speaker 1: we know, and uh you know, we got to do
Speaker 1: the same thing this week. We just got to be
Speaker 1: ultra prepared. That's a tough place to play now, I
Speaker 1: mean it is a loud, loud place and and we've
Speaker 1: got to be able to handle that crowd noise. We've
Speaker 1: got to do it through communication, nonverbal communication, all of that.
Speaker 1: It's got to be on point this week in practice.
Speaker 1: But um, it'll be fun. It'll be fun to get
Speaker 1: out there. But again, once we once we tee it
Speaker 1: up and kick it off, it's all about it's all
Speaker 1: about the business and all about the game. Can you
Speaker 1: give your team your team about playing in that type
Speaker 1: of environment that right there, Just it's tough, it's loud,
Speaker 1: it's uh um, it's a it's a great atmosphere for
Speaker 1: the fans are right on top of your. Arrowhead Stadium
Speaker 1: is right on top of you, and uh um, it's
Speaker 1: a great place to play. The biggest thing you learned
Speaker 1: in all your years around Andy from him consistency, being honest,
Speaker 1: being open, being fair with the players. Um, teaching, coaching, Um,
Speaker 1: probably the biggest things. Um and just uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's the attention to detail that that he
Speaker 1: uh he uh has with his players and his coaches.
Speaker 1: And that's some of the big biggest things I've learned
Speaker 1: from him. Just who was that supposed to be a
Speaker 1: hord passed? Agogue was Carson supposed to hold it a
Speaker 1: little longer? Supposed to? Yeah, just a little little Again,
Speaker 1: it was a it was a it was a run,
Speaker 1: a design run, and then that was just an advantage throw.
Speaker 1: And um, it looked on film Nelson was a little
Speaker 1: bit deeper than uh, than he should have been obviously
Speaker 1: because it was a lateral. But uh, um, you know,
Speaker 1: in practice during the week, that's uh, that was never
Speaker 1: the case. So we had to just clean those things up.
Speaker 1: Thanks Gay,
