Speaker 1: Um, Fred, when you know an oppointent as well as
Speaker 1: you know the Seahawks, Kyle said that it's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to trick each other. You're you're so familiar. Is
Speaker 1: there anything different in terms of preparation that you do
Speaker 1: or do you just know them so well that, um,
Speaker 1: it's more comfortable in a way of getting ready for
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah. No, I mean whole teams that know
Speaker 1: each other really will obviously being division rivals and who
Speaker 1: play very similar styles of football. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think it is what it is. You gotta we both
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna do. You know, it's just a
Speaker 1: matter of going out who's gonna execute better, who's gonna
Speaker 1: make less mistakes, who's gonna take the ball away, who's
Speaker 1: gonna protect the ball? Um? And that's how the game
Speaker 1: we played, Fred, was the Chiefs lost with the turning
Speaker 1: point in the season because you guys haven't I guess,
Speaker 1: so I guess you could say that you know, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was kind of It was for sure
Speaker 1: wake up call for our defense, you know, going out
Speaker 1: there and not playing in our style. And um, we've
Speaker 1: we've had to find different ways to win all season long,
Speaker 1: regardless of if we're on a ten ten game win
Speaker 1: streak or not, like you see all different types of
Speaker 1: ways of winning every single week. Um, so it's been
Speaker 1: it's been a great, great season. Gonna keep you going.
Speaker 1: How big is playoff experience? And now you're a veteran
Speaker 1: at this and there's some guys that haven't been, but
Speaker 1: maybe going back to your first playoff game to where
Speaker 1: you are now, how really big is it? You can Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I think it's it's all about just not
Speaker 1: making a situation bigger than what it is. Um you know,
Speaker 1: I knew that back when I was a young guy,
Speaker 1: just from the older the older guys like rich and
Speaker 1: uh you know Staley, all all those guys, And you know,
Speaker 1: it's at the end of the day, it's still football.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to you want to play at
Speaker 1: your best, but that doesn't mean going outside of what
Speaker 1: you already do. You know, you just got to make
Speaker 1: sure that you're, you know, really detailing the way that
Speaker 1: you prepare and then when you go out there, you
Speaker 1: just you play with your hair on fire. What have
Speaker 1: you seen differences wise compared to the first played them,
Speaker 1: compared to when we last played them or first played there, third,
Speaker 1: third go around. Now, Yeah, um no, I mean they
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the same stuff. Obviously,
Speaker 1: they want to they want to run the ball, you know,
Speaker 1: they want to rely on on on walk there too,
Speaker 1: to tote the rock because he gets such a talented
Speaker 1: running back and get the run game going to then
Speaker 1: open up the pass game for for Gino d k Lockett,
Speaker 1: all those guys. Um, you know, so a lot of
Speaker 1: the same and there's kind of a sense that the
Speaker 1: right guy everybody's helping right now and that you guys,
Speaker 1: winners of tenant row, you couldn't be playing in best
Speaker 1: football this season. But I've also had some guys in
Speaker 1: the lock them saying, well, we're still not as good
Speaker 1: as we as we can be. So is there a
Speaker 1: sense that I mean, that's probably how you want to feel, going, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd say that's more so. You know, it's all about
Speaker 1: a mindset, right, you know, you're constantly looking for all right,
Speaker 1: how how can we just get a little bit better,
Speaker 1: you know, because we're at the end of the thing now.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't always say, oh, we gotta get better,
Speaker 1: we gotta get better, because like now your best is needed,
Speaker 1: you know, and um, I know, guys are ready. We
Speaker 1: we are where we're at in this season because of
Speaker 1: how we've we've continue to get better throughout the year.
Speaker 1: Right and uh, I think we're peaking right at the
Speaker 1: right time. And it's all about how we prepare, you know,
Speaker 1: and and cutting that thing loose on on satur to day. Right,
Speaker 1: I think we've done everything we've needed to do and
Speaker 1: it's all about just everybody coming together, one heart, one
Speaker 1: mind and doing it. The team is starting out the
Speaker 1: postseason at Levi Stadium? How important is that homefield advantage? Huge? Huge,
Speaker 1: big time? You know, the faithful of the best fan
Speaker 1: base in the in the world. Uh, you know, being
Speaker 1: here and Levi's is gonna I know it's gonna be
Speaker 1: rocking in the first playoff game against Seattle. Umm, I'm
Speaker 1: excited about it. I know it's gonna be rocking in there.
Speaker 1: Is there any moment from the regular season that really
Speaker 1: resonated with you being at home in Hanking to pay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's hard to pick. It's hard to
Speaker 1: pick one, honestly. I mean because every week that they
Speaker 1: bring it, the faithful bring it every single week. Um,
Speaker 1: it's hard to pinpoint one that that sticks out the
Speaker 1: most right now. I mean, the primetime games are always fun,
Speaker 1: you know, the lights being bright, but every week you
Speaker 1: got
