1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Okay, good morning, coach. We've got three people with hands raised. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with Mike Weast fall by Phil Perry. Right, Mike, 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: good morning, Bille. How much do you anticipate um communication 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: offensively being stressed this week due to the presence of 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: I guess a small percentage of fans. Is this a 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: type of situation where you have to be prepared for 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: a silent count? Uh? Yeah, well, we'll have to see 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: how it goes here. Um, you know, we certainly played 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: in you know, it's a potentially louder environments than than this, 10 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: but um, we'll see how it goes It's something that 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: we've worked on a training camp not knowing exactly how 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: this whole situation would turn out. So, I mean you 13 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: saw that in the stadium scrimmage that we did and 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: so forth. So yeah, well we'll see what, you know, 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: what we need to do here. M sure it'll be 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: a little bit different, you know, than what we've experienced 17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: in the first three games so far. We just have 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: to do a good job of not you know, getting 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: distracted by anything other than our important job of you know, 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: competing against the Chiefs. It'll be interesting. The next question, 21 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Phil Perry called by Zach Cox if Bill wanted to 22 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: ask you about the quarterbacks job in terms of him 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: maybe showing confidence in his past catchers. We've heard cam 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: talk very blowingly about a lot of his teammates early 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: this season, and I'm just curious, is that is that important? 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: Does it matter for the quarterback to show confidence and 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: the players around him? Do you think that has an 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: impact on how they play on the field. Yeah, of course. 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: I think all good players do that, all leaders do that. 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: You have confidence in the people that you work with, 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: and you know that that makes everybody perform at a 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: higher level and have confidence in each other. I mean, 33 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: you have to earn that, but um, you know, certainly 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: to have confidence in the people that you're working with 35 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: is is very important to being successful. Have you noticed 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: that from from cam I mean we've heard it from 37 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: him in these sort of settings, but have you noticed 38 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: that in the building or on the practice field from him? Yeah? Absolutely, 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 1: I mean cam Ken does a great job of connecting 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: with everybody, whether it's his teammates, his receivers, guys on defense, 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, other people in the organization. You know, again, 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: I think the captain voting not that that's the ultimate, 43 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, that's the the final, you know, determination of leadership. 44 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: But I think the fact that he has been here 45 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: a pretty short amount of time and earned that type 46 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: of respect and support from his teammates is pretty impressive. 47 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: So but you know, I think it's across the board. 48 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: It's the offensive line, it's the receivers, it's all the 49 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: offensive players and coaches and um, you know, and extends 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: into other ears as well, and special teams and defense 51 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: and other people in the organization. I think that we've 52 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: all seen that, and um, it's impressive. It's impressive. He's 53 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's here a lot um he's in the building, 54 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: and he's you know, he's he's visible, he's in sight, 55 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: and it's connecting with people on a you know, as 56 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: as much as anybody, as much as any players in 57 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: a building, more than any player on the team. But 58 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, he spends a lot of time, you know, 59 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: talking and connecting and and building relationships with those people. 60 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: And I mean he has tremendous leadership. So it's very impressive. 61 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: Thanks Hill, Yeah, from Zach Cox. Called by Mark Daniels 62 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: yam Bill, We've we've seen Shalik make a number of 63 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: plays in these last couple of games. Is he someone 64 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: you've seen substantial improvement from since you guys first got 65 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: him in the building last year. Uh. Yeah, well he's 66 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: definitely improved. You know, Sleep's a hard working kid. He's 67 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: he's very smart. Um. He can handle a number of 68 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: different responsibilities and um, both positionally and you know, within 69 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: a position, whether it be pass, rush, coverage, run defense, uh, stunts, 70 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, blitz blitz assignments, things like that. Um, you know, 71 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: and sometimes those are you know, multiple two or three 72 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: things that could happen on the same play and you'd 73 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: have to react to him differently based on you know, 74 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: exactly how to plan unfolded. So um, but yeah, as 75 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: he's gained more experience in our in our defense and 76 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: with his teammates, his communication and recognition and reactions have 77 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: all you know improved and and his overall amount of 78 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: responsibilities have increased as well. So he's he's done an 79 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: excellent job for us, and uh continues to you know, 80 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: i'd say expand his role defensively, um, which is good 81 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: for him and good for us, and you know, gives 82 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: him more versatility. Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Our next 83 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: question Mark Daniels falled by Ivan Lazzar. Hey Bill, Um, 84 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: So this weekend, obviously, you guys have a you know, 85 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: a tough challenge with Travis Kelsey and you know, at 86 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: first three games Darren Waller and Mike Gasecki and in 87 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks there's George Kittle Or are we 88 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: seeing an influx of just it's just you know, talented 89 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: athletic tight ends or does it just so happen that's 90 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: sort of how your schedule fell this year. Well, it's 91 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: it's certainly that way on our schedule. I think that's 92 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: one of the things that really jumped out. You know 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: when you look at the teams that were you know 94 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: that we've been playing I mean from all sin to 95 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: um you know, not to look ahead, but font I 96 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: mean just go right down the line. I mean, there's 97 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: seems like there's one every week. Uh So, guys that 98 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: are you know, have either elite tight end skills or 99 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: elite receiving skills. Um. You know, guys like Jessecki and 100 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: Olson and guys like that that maybe aren't used that 101 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: much in the running game, but in terms of matching 102 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: up and just trying to cover them in a passing 103 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: game or they're very they're very tough. So um, yeah, 104 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: we have, we have seen a lot of them, and 105 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: like you already rattle off some of there in the future, 106 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: but you know, we'll be seeing that throughout the year. 107 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: It looks like so, um, well that's representative in the 108 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: entire league or not. I mean, I don't know. I'd 109 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: have to you know, go take a closer look at it, 110 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: but certainly in terms of you know, what's on our schedule, 111 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of them. There have been a 112 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: lot of them, and they're gonna be a lot more 113 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: than yep next specially having this arfall but done tired 114 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: och I wanted to ask about and he owned Ted 115 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: ends Devin Asiasi and just what you've seen from him 116 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: that's allowed him to carve had some more playing time 117 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: near the last couple of weeks. Yeah, I mean, I 118 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: think in general, it's just, uh, you know, this has 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: been a you know, a challenging year for all rookies, 120 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: um on every team, not just our team. And uh 121 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: with no preseason games, with no you know, real live 122 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: snaps until the regular season starts, you know, it's hard 123 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: for those guys. Any rookie. Again not picking out anybody 124 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: in particular, but just in general, it's hard for any 125 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: rookie to you know, be able to you know, get 126 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: into the flow of the game, to you know, learn 127 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: from uh, you know, the preseason games and the tempo 128 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: and the the contact part of the game that you 129 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: know is minimized in a practice setting and so forth, 130 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: and that has to come with game experience. And you know, 131 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: as a coaching staff, you you know want to make 132 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: sure that you don't put guys in in situations that 133 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: they're really not ready for, and so there's certainly a 134 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: you know a little bit of a build up that 135 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: comes there. So, you know, all that being said, I 136 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: think this is in general just a tough year for 137 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: rookies overall. Um think our group has has competed very well, 138 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: and you know, they've really done a good job of 139 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: trying to embrace the challenges and embrace the um knowledge 140 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: that our veterans and our coaching staff has tried to 141 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: impart to them on you know, what it's going to 142 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: be like, what they need to do, how to handle 143 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: you know, certain things that come up on the field, 144 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: and they've tried to do it. But again, there's no 145 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,559 Speaker 1: real substitute for the experience of doing it. So, you know, Devin, 146 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: like like the rest of the rookies that we have 147 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: are it's it's certainly a work in progress. I don't 148 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: think it's you know, anywhere what it would has would 149 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: have been in other years where we would have you know, 150 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: three four preseason games, maybe a couple of uh, you know, 151 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: joint practices things like that. But you know, it is 152 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: what it is. All teams are the same, I have 153 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: the same opportunity, so it's just in relative terms, it's 154 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: tougher than what it's been. But I think that they're 155 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: trying as a group, trying very hard to recognize that 156 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: and accept it and understand it really help valuable and 157 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: critical every single play is to not only the team's success, 158 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: but to their personal development and improvement, whether it be 159 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: on a practice field or particularly in game situations, and 160 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: they really tried to pete hard in those opportunities that 161 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: they've gotten on the last two questions will be Doug 162 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Kite and Jingibride. Good morning, Bill. We've had three weeks 163 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: now some of the operations adjustments in the NFL with 164 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: the expanded practice squad. Three week i R practice squad protections, 165 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: and then also the temporary elevations. I'm wondering what you've 166 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: thought of those new rules and if you'd like them 167 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: to stick around in the future. Yeah, well, it's definitely 168 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: been interesting this year, and it's provided some opportunities in 169 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: terms of roster management that we haven't had in the past. 170 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: I think probably, you know, the league and the Competition 171 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: Committee and all the people that are involved in that 172 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: will evaluate things at the end of the year. Again 173 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: to your point, you know, we've all seen quite a 174 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: bit of roster movement in the first three weeks, and 175 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll continue. We'll see after sixteen weeks, you know, 176 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: if there's a trend, if it stays the same or 177 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: if it you know, it gets modified one way or 178 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: the other, and how that. You know, some teams are 179 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: affected or impacted a little more in one way than 180 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: others are, but maybe there's a you know, more of 181 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: a league trend there and so forth. I know, from 182 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: my standpoint, you know, I'm very focused on what our 183 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: team's doing and what our opponents doing that particular week. 184 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: But you know, teams that have passed us, like Seattle 185 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: and Miami and teams like that, I'm really I'm not 186 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: really paying too much attention to what they're doing right now, 187 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: or teams that aren't on our schedule. Same thing. So 188 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: from overall standpoint, I'm probably not the right person to 189 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: make an evaluation on that, so I won't try to. 190 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: But I'm sure at the end of the year that'll 191 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: be interesting to take a look at. Certainly, it's provided 192 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: a lot of options and opportunities for practice squad players 193 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: to play. You see that on a weekly basis. I 194 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: don't know what the average is, but it's probably got 195 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: to be you know, at least thirty or so teams 196 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: that activate practice squad players, and in previous years, you know, 197 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: probably most of those guys that by far the majority 198 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: of them UM probably wouldn't have had a chance to 199 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: play based on prior rules. So well, that's something the 200 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: league does or doesn't want to continue. You know, collectively, 201 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 1: they'll decide that. But UM certainly interesting from a comparison standpoint, 202 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and UM from giving opportunities to to more players. Thanks 203 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: for a question. It's a great, great point. I questioned 204 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: Jim McBride, like morning coach, I wanted to know how 205 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: critical has Jonathan Jones' development been and allowing you to 206 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: be flexible with him in the secondary. It's been been 207 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: very critical. And you know, we resigned John last year. 208 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: That was a big UM. You know, that was that 209 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: was a big step for us UM. John you know, 210 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: does a tremendous job for us UM, for our total 211 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: football team, obviously defensively, but you know, he started out 212 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: as an impact player in the kicking game. UM. He 213 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: continues to be able to do that when when we 214 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: need him. UM. And then you know, he's continued to 215 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: improve defensively where he kind of started as a perimeter 216 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: corner which was probably a little more what he did 217 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: at Auburn, to really becoming more of an inside player. 218 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Although you know he's shown the ability to play inside 219 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: and outside. But his tackling, his aggressiveness, his speed, UH 220 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: really are are very UM valuable qualities, as well as 221 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: his intelligence and his versatility to play some safety roles 222 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: and as well as UH corner type roles has has 223 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: been you know, a huge asset to us defensively, and 224 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: you know, to have a fast player inside UH is 225 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: a you know, is a big advantage. UM. You know 226 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the players that play in the slot 227 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: now are i would say, becoming more in the mold 228 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: of obviously Tyreek Hills elite. But there are a lot 229 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: of faster players that are now getting played in the 230 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: slot as opposed to maybe a few years back, a 231 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: lot of players inside were i'd say more possession receivers, 232 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: guys that were you know, work more in the short 233 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: to intermediate zones. But when you get a guy like 234 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: Hill in there that can you know, take the top 235 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: off of the defense from in the slot, you know, 236 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: that really changes to your defense and it changes the 237 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: passing game offensively dramatically. So uh, to be able to 238 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: not have to substitute, but be able to play the 239 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: same guy in there and regardless of who they put 240 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: in that position is a huge advantage for us. And 241 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: all the versatile things that John can do are you know, 242 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: are very valuable. But John Scott good intelligence, He's a 243 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 1: tough kid. He's really a good tackler and a tough competitor. 244 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: He's I'm glad we have him. He's I mean, it's 245 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: the ultimate, you know, college free agent that came in, 246 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 1: earned a role in a kicking game, developed into a 247 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: good defensive player, and it's having a you know a 248 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: good NFL career. Thank you, Yeah, you're welcome. Thanks everyone great, 249 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: Thank you see in Kansas City,
