1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna onside kick again to start the game

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: to get that. Um, you know, listen, when you're when

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: you're playing, you gotta play discipline football number one. Um,

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: you're playing a well coached team or a disciplined football team.

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: We have to be prepared for them too. Is they've

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: had a couple of weeks now to really, um maybe

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: come up with some wrinkles of their own, right, And

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: and that's that's coach Read and uh, he'll have he'll

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: have some some wrinkles up his sleeve, I know. But

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: for us, it's just a matter of just staying discipline

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: and trusting what we're doing and just understand your role

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: within your game plan right and and and just execute

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: each play one at the time. No, I mean, you know,

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: they still have to line up and get set, you know. So, Um,

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: it's it's fun and everything, and it's exciting and players

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: love it. I mean, I've been there with coach Read

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: when when things like that happened and the players are engaged.

18
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Players probably came up with it quite honestly. Um, but

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: you don't spend too much time. Eventually, they got to

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: get lined up within the forty second time limit. How

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: often do you talk to him during we talked, you know,

22
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: we talked during the season. Um, we do. Um, obviously

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: this week is different. But and when we played him,

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, a while back. But um, I still listen.

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: I I owe a lot to coach reat you know,

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: my career not only is a player, but as a coach.

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: And and I still want to I want to pick

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: his brain and learn. He's been doing this a long

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: time and he's been you know, really really successful, you know,

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: at it. So anything I can learn and take away

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: from him is as a blessing for me. The image

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: of the Dallas game you have included last twelve seven

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: interceptions in five falls which had him lost. You worry

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: about that? I mean, how do you bring a string

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: of the turnovers and focus on the down beside? It's

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: a problem, Yes, you you worried about it. Um, we're fortunate.

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: We're very fortunate. We're very fortunate the other night that

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, you know, for five five takeaways or five

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: giveaways and and come back and win a football game.

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: That just does not happen. And that's something that we

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: we address our team a lot about. And you know,

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to over emphasize it. But at the

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: same time they have to understand that the seriousness of

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: keeping the football and the seriousness of creating takeaways. And

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, our defense has also been you know, getting

46
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit here too, so that's that's

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: been a bonus for us. But you know, offensively, uh,

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: we just can't give it away like we've been doing

49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: in order to to win these games, especially now where

50
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: we're at. After looking at the film materfestions how many

51
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: four the person was chipped, but how many forward result

52
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: of a batship? Probably two of them, you know, honestly, Um,

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: but listen, you know he gets credit for four, and uh,

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's unfortunate that that happened. But you know,

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: we don't make excuses for it. We just look at it.

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: We try to correct it, you know, and and as coaches,

57
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: we we help help our players, you know, not not

58
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, and especially the quarterback. So, um,

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: he understands it, We understand it, and you know, um,

60
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: hopefully we're better for it. And I'm going to ask

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: you what you learned about her the other night that

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: you probably already knew that he had the type of

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: character with your mass back from that, do what he

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: is like to happen? You know, you saw it during

65
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: the game, just the expression on his face. He never

66
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: he never wavered. You know, I'm you know, a play

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: like that's going to happen. You don't want it to happen,

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: but it does. And when it and when it does,

69
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: you just you you shake it off, You move on,

70
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: You move to the next play. And he did a

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: great job of that, you know. And and so that's

72
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: that's a credit to to where he is, you know,

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: from a maturity standpoint in his in his development was

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: up and down p vality wine wine and he's that

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: And so is that kind of why you always make

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: it which coach your friends anyway? Anymore? Like did you

77
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: play for a guy like that? And did that influence

78
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: the way you can treat You're always you know, the

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: coaches I've played for, we're all very level headed demeanor. Um.

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Never got too high, never got too low. Yeah, they

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: can get emotional, you know, but but never never really

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: coached that way. UM stayed stayed level headed. UM. And

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: that's probably where you know, I get some of it from,

84
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, just learning from that. Any different in terms

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: of treating this team, dreams, players or person otherwise any

86
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: were a billy at all or now? No, Um, you know,

87
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: I just think I just think you learned from you know,

88
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: your time where where I was before, and and uh

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: sometimes it's big picture, right, It's just sometimes you get

90
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: you get you know, you can't see the forest through

91
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: the trees, and and now you kind of look at

92
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: things a little bit big picture and and I have

93
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: a little different perspective. And those are all things that

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: are learned, have angelus you? But why does Andy how

95
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: does it come back to Andy on all the time? Well,

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: when I first went to Green Bay, okay until now?

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: How many years is that? It's a lot of years. Um,

98
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: that's twenty how many it's twenty years, almost thirty years,

99
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: So that's thirty years my my professional life that I've

100
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: I've been influenced by him. So that's why it always

101
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: comes back to him. It's more than half. What am I?

102
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm fifty I'll be fifty five and two weeks. So yeah,

103
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: you've had the windy You're back the last couple of

104
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: weeks with the fans here your team is playing in

105
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: the noise, but now you'll have it your face and

106
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: that's a different animal obviously, So how do you do

107
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: does this last wee week's helping the team in any

108
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: way to play in the noise? How do you get

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: them ready for that? It's it does help us, but

110
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: it's nothing prepares you for that. I can, I can

111
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: turn the noise here as loud as I want, and

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to make an impact, um, you know,

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: but it's out for them, you know, it's a loud

114
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: for their defense and and um, you know we both

115
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: have to play in it obviously, but it's a it's

116
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: a great atmosphere and and these fans are, um, they're

117
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: they're passionate about the Chiefs obviously, and uh, it's it's

118
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the loudest for a reason. And we've just gotta be

119
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: able to go in there and just it just it

120
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: just focuses you in you know, more specifically on your job.

121
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be able to hear in the

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: huddle things of that nature, and um, you just gotta

123
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of the nonverbal communication, you know, on

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: point helping all haven't already been there this year or

125
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: his playoffs just kind of different now, it does it

126
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: does just the environment being there, seeing it some of

127
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: the guys haven't been there before, you know, and and

128
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: having gone there, you know, during the season helps a

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: little bit. But this will be this will be different. Um.

130
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: You know, playoff football is different, the crowds are different,

131
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and uh, um, this one, yeah, this one will be

132
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: pretty loud kind of season Chris Jones have from any

133
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: defensive line for them, He's had a great season. Um.

134
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: This guy, Um, probably one of the best, if not

135
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: the best, we've seen, you know, this season. And and

136
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: we've played some good ones, you know, these interior d

137
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: lineman and you know, he's uh, he's explosive, he's powerful,

138
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: he can move guys off spots, rush the past or

139
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just there's not a whole lot he

140
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: can't do. And um, we've got to be uh, you know,

141
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: understand where he is. You know, Teams try to put

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: as many hands on him as possible and and and

143
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: he still gets there. So great player. A lot of

144
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: respect for him, love watching him play. Um. And also

145
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: also you know, our guys understand that, and they'll play

146
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: hard because you guys have had this late surge kind

147
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: of come out of nowhere about as much as any

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: other team in the playoffs. You know, there's there's the

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: narrative out there that, Okay, now the Jaguars are playing

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: with house money, but your experience as a as a

151
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: coach and player, I mean, you can't just say, well,

152
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, if we don't win this week, not a

153
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: big deal to play the past money. I mean, you

154
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: have to race these opportunities. You're there's no guarantee you're

155
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting them year after year after year, whether

156
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: it's our money or house money. Um, we're here. And

157
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: it's a credit to those players in the locker room

158
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff for you know, believing in each other,

159
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: obviously working hard. Um what we've done down the stretch,

160
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of the mishaps, we're here, you know.

161
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: And and UM, you know I try to block out

162
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: the best I can with the team. You just block

163
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: out the noise, You block out the negativity, You block

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: out whether it's lack of respect or whatever. You know,

165
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: we have a young quarterback or whatever it might be. Um,

166
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're one of four in the a f

167
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: C left and um that says a lot, says a

168
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: lot about these guys. And um, you know we're excited

169
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: for the opportunity. A lot of people would consider, you know,

170
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: having to go to Arrowhead, you know, as as probably

171
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: as much as daunting task as I guess any other

172
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: venue that you would go to. Right, But what would

173
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: be your message to your players? I mean we I

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: would think it would be to embrace this opportunity, no

175
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: matter how challenging it may seem. Sometimes, you know, and

176
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: you overcome the biggest you're right, you're right, And he

177
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: kind of took the words out of my mouth. I mean,

178
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great atmosphere. We gotta embrace it.

179
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: You know, no one expects us to do anything, you know,

180
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: so go play, have fun, enjoy the moment um, and

181
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. You know, we've we've we've we've

182
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: put ourselves in this position to be one of the

183
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: four remaining a f C teams and you know, you

184
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: got a lot to play for and uh, whether we win,

185
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: whether we lose. You know, our season was a huge success,

186
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: you know, from from that standpoint, first year together, overcome

187
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: a lot of adversity from last year to this year

188
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: and pushing these guys through and um, just go go

189
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: play and have fun. Are you aware that Trevor Lawrence

190
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: has never lost him on a Saturday. This guy pretty

191
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: and oh high school college. That's pretty impressed. Uh, yeah,

192
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot. Next question, absolutely right, do you

193
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: go back and looking at him with fresh eyes this week?

194
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: Do you see anything that stands out that you know? Yeah,

195
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: I do. You know, we obviously we studied that one,

196
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: but you know, I think, Um, offensively, we know we

197
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: can play better. We didn't execute early in that game

198
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: very well. Um, had opportunities. We missed some kicks earlier

199
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: that probably could have kept us in the football game,

200
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: made a little bit closer. Um, we had a touchdown

201
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: call back, you know, things of that nature. We just

202
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: got to execute better. Looking at that, and defensively, um,

203
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: we settled down in the second half. But again, um,

204
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: just the mental mistakes, you know, the errors that we

205
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: made of you know, being out of position or you know,

206
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: out of alignments and gaps and things of that nature.

207
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll go back and obviously look at that.

208
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: We've made the correction since then. Um, and uh, you know,

209
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully go out and put a you know, a

210
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: fourth quarter game together. Cisco had two pretty big hits

211
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: in that game. Because in your experience. Is that something

212
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: that lingers in like the opposing team's minds when they

213
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: get in another shign. Not really, I mean it's usually

214
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: over with, you know. Um so yeah, no,
