<v Speaker 1>the champs. You know they didn't be in the folks

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>super Bowls in the past was six years. So it's

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a great feeling to try to go in there and

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:18.639
<v Speaker 1>knock off, you know, the best team in the world

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>over the past five six years. What do you what

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>does Rice look like to you as a young player?

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Try a good year, but you probably gonna get him

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>in this game.

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.319
<v Speaker 1>He kind of remind me of Depo a little bit,

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. Good Rod run in to

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a physical Once you get the ball in his hands,

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>he can make plays, make guys miss. So we gotta

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>go out there and just try to match his physicality

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>and be physical with 'em all game.

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you want for any advice about uh the Mahomes

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey connection and and how to possibly address that. Uh,

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>take care of that.

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean that match up is I mean that duos

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of one on one. You know what I'm saying

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is nobody nobody like 'em. So we just gotta go

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>out there and just try try hardest man try best.

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>We know they got great great Kim, So we just

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta go out there and match. You know, they intensity

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>all game, they Hall of famers. But I mean we

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>just gotta up our level of play.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>I just set a time that Kelsey either runs the

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 2>wrong ro rout or just see something and sits down,

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Like can can you prepare for a player that you

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>know plays with instinct or you know, is there any

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>way to do?

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I mean TRAFP is just more like if he

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>see if he got a a certain route, and if

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you see if you see a guy sitting out there

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to where his route gotta go. I mean obviously he

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>not gonna just run to the guy. He'll just sit

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>down and find a hole in the defense. And that's

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>what I mean by the chemistry earlier, like they just

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>they just know each to the real world, you know

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. So and you gotta go out there

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and just try to try to mass that people if you,

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>uh fend.

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>You plays every time with the homes the regular one

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>of the movies ort to scrambling, right, just how do

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 2>you go about your what's the child feel?

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Uh? We gotta just plaster you know what I'm saying

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>hate have great stamina, cause we know he gonna get

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>out of the pocket a lot scramble around the guy's

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>on the D line. They probably gonna be tied. We

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna be tied. But we gotta j y just

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>up our intensity all game to get too likes to

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>use the screen game short passing as much. How do

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you kind of strike that balance of like knowing when

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the shoots you're goun to to go.

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Stop the screen game versus like making sure something doesn't

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>get over your head.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're gonna shoot our gun. They every play

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the safeties if the corner shoot they gun. I mean,

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 1>we gonna have somebody to back us up every play.

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>We know, the screens and the jet sweeps and reverses

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.679
<v Speaker 1>being kind of our weakness all season and definitely in

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. So I mean, obviously they would be crazy

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.679
<v Speaker 1>now to come out there and do the same thing.

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So we gotta, you know, just shoot our gun and

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>be physical and don't let them get any momentum in

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>that department you from.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh they lost two super Bowls that I guess. Spending

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>time during the week when you're not in the practice field,

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 2>are you watching the film are you reading a book?

<v Speaker 1>Uh, tryna chase down family member?

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh, Well, it's Super Bowl in Vegas, so you might

<v Speaker 1>I know we got a great team. Everybody expected us

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to be in a super Bowl. Like when I was

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>in Kansas City we won in twenty twenty. What it was,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>we just knew he was gonna win the super Bowl.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.119
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't a doubt in our mind that we wasn't

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna win the super Bowl then, di I. I feel

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>like that's how this team feel this year. He speeches

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>on side on sid Raight, have to walk through what

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.680

<v Speaker 2>You gotta yeah, like maybe we maybe we got 'em.

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we knew we was gonna win the whole time,

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, just like we did these past two games.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.360

<v Speaker 1>last year when you see the Chiefs go on to

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 1>win the Super Bowl? Uh, it was kind of bittersweet. Man.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:51.720

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl cause I mean, they're just a good

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.560

<v Speaker 1>got past. He liked the ultimate equalizer and you know,

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Travis kill Se and Red call him plays like they

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>got a crazy big three, you know what I mean. So,

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I kind of figured that we went

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 1>to the Super Bowl, we was gonna be playing those guys,

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and it woulda been sweet to play him last year,

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we got the opportunity of this year.

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure like this su Kyle Chan had probably

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted as well, Like you know what I'm saying, he

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 1>had his opportunity as a head coach and win the

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. I'm pretty sure he felt like he had

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>it in his hand and twenty he kind of let

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>it slip through. But you know this to this the rematch, right, Yeah,

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>practice against practice Patrick Mahomes for a long time. Hm,

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>when is his game changed, like from when you first

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>started practice against him? Person out, I feel like the

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>first day I saw him and now I just always

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>knew he was the best player. You know what I'm

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>saying in in in in the football in that in

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League, Like I mean, he's huh that

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>hun hell yeah, even back then, I think my first

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>year in Kansas City was his first year being like

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>the starter. And when I got there, the first game

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>he threw like I think like five or six sets

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>downs in LA against the trysar A. Just so that's

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>when I was like, damn, like I never saw nothing

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 1>like this. It was. It was crazy. Ever since then

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>he been, you know, winning Super Bowls, collecting rings. So

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>just just he the goat man. He wanted the goats

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>behind Tom Brady for sure. That alright. Appreciate Joe
