WEBVTT - Fred Warner Previews Wild Card Matchup vs. the Seattle Seahawks | Press Pass

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Um, Fred, when you know an oppointent as well as

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you know the Seahawks, Kyle said that it's kind of

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>hard to trick each other. You're you're so familiar. Is

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.159
<v Speaker 1>there anything different in terms of preparation that you do

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>or do you just know them so well that, um,

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:13.920
<v Speaker 1>it's more comfortable in a way of getting ready for

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>this game. Yeah. No, I mean whole teams that know

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>each other really will obviously being division rivals and who

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>play very similar styles of football. And you know, I

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.319
<v Speaker 1>think it is what it is. You gotta we both

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 1>know what we're gonna do. You know, it's just a

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>matter of going out who's gonna execute better, who's gonna

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>make less mistakes, who's gonna take the ball away, who's

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna protect the ball? Um? And that's how the game

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>we played, Fred, was the Chiefs lost with the turning

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>point in the season because you guys haven't I guess,

0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 1>so I guess you could say that you know, Um, yeah,

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was kind of It was for sure

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>wake up call for our defense, you know, going out

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>there and not playing in our style. And um, we've

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>we've had to find different ways to win all season long,

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>regardless of if we're on a ten ten game win

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>streak or not, like you see all different types of

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>ways of winning every single week. Um, so it's been

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>it's been a great, great season. Gonna keep you going.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.479
<v Speaker 1>How big is playoff experience? And now you're a veteran

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>at this and there's some guys that haven't been, but

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe going back to your first playoff game to where

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you are now, how really big is it? You can Yeah,

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I know, I think it's it's all about just not

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>making a situation bigger than what it is. Um you know,

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I knew that back when I was a young guy,

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>just from the older the older guys like rich and

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>uh you know Staley, all all those guys, And you know,

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>it's at the end of the day, it's still football.

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, you want to you want to play at

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>your best, but that doesn't mean going outside of what

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you already do. You know, you just got to make

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>sure that you're, you know, really detailing the way that

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you prepare and then when you go out there, you

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>just you play with your hair on fire. What have

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you seen differences wise compared to the first played them,

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>compared to when we last played them or first played there, third,

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>third go around. Now, Yeah, um no, I mean they

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of the same stuff. Obviously,

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>they want to they want to run the ball, you know,

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>they want to rely on on on walk there too,

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>to tote the rock because he gets such a talented

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>running back and get the run game going to then

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>open up the pass game for for Gino d k Lockett,

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>all those guys. Um, you know, so a lot of

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the same and there's kind of a sense that the

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>right guy everybody's helping right now and that you guys,

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>winners of tenant row, you couldn't be playing in best

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>football this season. But I've also had some guys in

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the lock them saying, well, we're still not as good

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>as we as we can be. So is there a

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>sense that I mean, that's probably how you want to feel, going, yeah,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd say that's more so. You know, it's all about

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a mindset, right, you know, you're constantly looking for all right,

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>how how can we just get a little bit better,

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, because we're at the end of the thing now.

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>You can't you can't always say, oh, we gotta get better,

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>we gotta get better, because like now your best is needed,

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, and um, I know, guys are ready. We

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 1>we are where we're at in this season because of

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.119
<v Speaker 1>how we've we've continue to get better throughout the year.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Right and uh, I think we're peaking right at the

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>right time. And it's all about how we prepare, you know,

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and and cutting that thing loose on on satur to day. Right,

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we've done everything we've needed to do and

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>it's all about just everybody coming together, one heart, one

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>mind and doing it. The team is starting out the

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>postseason at Levi Stadium? How important is that homefield advantage? Huge? Huge,

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>big time? You know, the faithful of the best fan

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>base in the in the world. Uh, you know, being

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:20.799
<v Speaker 1>here and Levi's is gonna I know it's gonna be

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>rocking in the first playoff game against Seattle. Umm, I'm

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>excited about it. I know it's gonna be rocking in there.

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Is there any moment from the regular season that really

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>resonated with you being at home in Hanking to pay? Yeah,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's it's hard to pick. It's hard to

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>pick one, honestly. I mean because every week that they

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>bring it, the faithful bring it every single week. Um,

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to pinpoint one that that sticks out the

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>most right now. I mean, the primetime games are always fun,

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the lights being bright, but every week you

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>got
