1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Um, Fred, when you know an oppointent as well as

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: you know the Seahawks, Kyle said that it's kind of

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: hard to trick each other. You're you're so familiar. Is

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: there anything different in terms of preparation that you do

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: or do you just know them so well that, um,

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: it's more comfortable in a way of getting ready for

7
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah. No, I mean whole teams that know

8
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: each other really will obviously being division rivals and who

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: play very similar styles of football. And you know, I

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: think it is what it is. You gotta we both

11
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna do. You know, it's just a

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: matter of going out who's gonna execute better, who's gonna

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: make less mistakes, who's gonna take the ball away, who's

14
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: gonna protect the ball? Um? And that's how the game

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: we played, Fred, was the Chiefs lost with the turning

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: point in the season because you guys haven't I guess,

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: so I guess you could say that you know, Um, yeah,

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: it was. It was kind of It was for sure

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: wake up call for our defense, you know, going out

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: there and not playing in our style. And um, we've

21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: we've had to find different ways to win all season long,

22
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: regardless of if we're on a ten ten game win

23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: streak or not, like you see all different types of

24
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: ways of winning every single week. Um, so it's been

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: it's been a great, great season. Gonna keep you going.

26
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: How big is playoff experience? And now you're a veteran

27
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: at this and there's some guys that haven't been, but

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: maybe going back to your first playoff game to where

29
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: you are now, how really big is it? You can Yeah,

30
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: I know, I think it's it's all about just not

31
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: making a situation bigger than what it is. Um you know,

32
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: I knew that back when I was a young guy,

33
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: just from the older the older guys like rich and

34
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: uh you know Staley, all all those guys, And you know,

35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: it's at the end of the day, it's still football.

36
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: You know, you want to you want to play at

37
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: your best, but that doesn't mean going outside of what

38
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: you already do. You know, you just got to make

39
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: sure that you're, you know, really detailing the way that

40
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you prepare and then when you go out there, you

41
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: just you play with your hair on fire. What have

42
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: you seen differences wise compared to the first played them,

43
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: compared to when we last played them or first played there, third,

44
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: third go around. Now, Yeah, um no, I mean they

45
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the same stuff. Obviously,

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: they want to they want to run the ball, you know,

47
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: they want to rely on on on walk there too,

48
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: to tote the rock because he gets such a talented

49
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: running back and get the run game going to then

50
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: open up the pass game for for Gino d k Lockett,

51
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: all those guys. Um, you know, so a lot of

52
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: the same and there's kind of a sense that the

53
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: right guy everybody's helping right now and that you guys,

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: winners of tenant row, you couldn't be playing in best

55
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: football this season. But I've also had some guys in

56
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: the lock them saying, well, we're still not as good

57
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: as we as we can be. So is there a

58
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: sense that I mean, that's probably how you want to feel, going, yeah,

59
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: I'd say that's more so. You know, it's all about

60
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: a mindset, right, you know, you're constantly looking for all right,

61
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: how how can we just get a little bit better,

62
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, because we're at the end of the thing now.

63
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: You can't you can't always say, oh, we gotta get better,

64
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: we gotta get better, because like now your best is needed,

65
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, and um, I know, guys are ready. We

66
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: we are where we're at in this season because of

67
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: how we've we've continue to get better throughout the year.

68
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Right and uh, I think we're peaking right at the

69
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: right time. And it's all about how we prepare, you know,

70
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: and and cutting that thing loose on on satur to day. Right,

71
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: I think we've done everything we've needed to do and

72
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: it's all about just everybody coming together, one heart, one

73
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: mind and doing it. The team is starting out the

74
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: postseason at Levi Stadium? How important is that homefield advantage? Huge? Huge,

75
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: big time? You know, the faithful of the best fan

76
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: base in the in the world. Uh, you know, being

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: here and Levi's is gonna I know it's gonna be

78
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: rocking in the first playoff game against Seattle. Umm, I'm

79
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: excited about it. I know it's gonna be rocking in there.

80
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: Is there any moment from the regular season that really

81
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: resonated with you being at home in Hanking to pay? Yeah,

82
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's hard to pick. It's hard to

83
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: pick one, honestly. I mean because every week that they

84
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: bring it, the faithful bring it every single week. Um,

85
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to pinpoint one that that sticks out the

86
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: most right now. I mean, the primetime games are always fun,

87
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, the lights being bright, but every week you

88
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: got
