1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Bill, how you doing today? Uh? Good, Glen, Yeah, it's

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: a good tired So Kristen, Lou, how are we doing? Good? Good?

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: All of us are kind of dealing with the same issues,

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: lack of sleep, like going on. I guess it's better

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: than losing and getting a lot better. Let's ask you

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: about the approach in this one. They hit the ball

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: for twenty three minutes, almost twenty four minutes, and they

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: ended up scoring forty points. You ram the ball effectively

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: in this game? Game plan going in running the ball

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: because that's what Kansas City was giving you, or did

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: you want to control that ball to keep their offense

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: off the field, because it's so unusual to see that

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: because usually you're the high powered offense and you're you're

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: trying to score as many times as possible. Well as always, Glenn,

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: we try to do what we feel like is working

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: or what's gonna work best. So if it's running, it's run.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: If it's sorry to throw it at some combination, then

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: it could be that too. So um, we don't really

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: have a preference. We just want to move the ball

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: and score points. And I felt like that there were

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: some opportunities to to run the ball and we took

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: advantage of some of those ran the ball, as you said, competitively,

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: that opened up some other things in the passing game,

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: play action passes. So, um, we had balance. Um, if

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: they had defended as differently, we might not have had balance.

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm to wear or the other. So you know what,

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: the the red zone defense for you guys, especially in

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the first half, was really good. Really left they they

29
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't you they had to sell for field goals? Is that? Um?

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Is that almost like a benefit with a team like

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: this that they don't have the advantage of so much

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: space to operate in for you guys as a defense

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: almost make it easier for you to slow them down. Well,

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: I think just in general it's harder in the red

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: area offensively because you have left less space. So um,

36
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: all the defenders are closer to the line and scrimmage

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: all the safeties or linebackers, and in the passing game

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: there's just less space to throw the ball, so everything's

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: got to be in the tighter windows. And um, good throws,

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: good catches, usually away from your body, getting a feet

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: down and bounds things like that. So it just makes

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: it a little more difficult. Um, I don't think it's

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: anything unique to us or anybody else. It's just hard

44
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: to score down there. You know, usually there's great offenses

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: in this in this league, and usually one of the

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: great offense is your team. And I'm curious this team here.

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: You talk last week or how difficult it is. Can't

48
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: double team everybody is? Can you compare this offense to

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: any one you've gone up against in the past. You

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: have to go all the way back to Peyton Manning

51
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: because it just it seemed like it's so explosive. Yeah,

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, though, I don't know. Well, we'll see

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: how it goes this week against the Bears defense. It's

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: it could be a different story. So I'll just take

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: a week to week. Did um first time seeing Patrick

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Mahomes in a game? Um? Did he did he surprise you?

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: Did he do some things that you didn't think he

58
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: was capable of doing? Um? Does your overall just I

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: guess analysis of him seeing him on the field for

60
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: the first time. No, he's he's a good player. He's

61
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: got a great arm. Um, he's athletic. He didn't really

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: run much against us. You know, he kept the ball.

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm not fourth in one, but he scrambled something to throw. Overall,

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: the containment on him wasn't wasn't that big of an issue.

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I'd say the issue was some extended plays where he

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: made a couple good throws. Um, he gave us a

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: couple opportunities to turn the ball over. So, but he's

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: got a strong arm and he he's very throws very

69
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: well out of the pocket. See finds receivers out of

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: the pocket. The extended plays he made were impressive. Let

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: me ask you about your offense because the first few

72
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: weeks it was trying to generate the offense through those weapons.

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: Then you get Edelman back, and now you've gone on

74
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: what thirty eight thirty eight forty three points and there

75
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: seems to be an awful lot of weapons out there,

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: especially with Michelle running and obviously James s. White out

77
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: of the backfield. Is this what you envisioned at the

78
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, and how much does Edelman play

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: into that. Well, it's good to have, um, all the

80
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: good players that you can have. So we're happy to

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: have anybody that's that's healthy and ready to go out

82
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: there and help us. Um. Yeah, at the beginning of

83
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: the year, I don't know that there was a big vision.

84
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: He just tried to start working guys in and see

85
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: how it goes and adapt and adjust as on the fly.

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: You know that Dante high Tower interception is it? You

87
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 1: know with this offense to RPOs quick slants over the middle,

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: it seemed like that was kind of like a game plan.

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: Maybe show blitz, hit the offensive lineman, then drop back

90
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: into coverage you kind of crowd that middle for that

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: quick pass. Yeah. Well, I think on that play that

92
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: was a it was a play action pass. I don't

93
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: think it was an RPO um and high stepped up

94
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: a little bit as um as you'd normally do on

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: a play action. But he had the awareness to know

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: that they were trying to throw it in behind him,

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: right behind the fake, and he turned and made an

98
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: athletic play on the ball, caught it like a receiver.

99
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: So that was a great play on his part. Yeah,

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people are comparing that to Teddy Bruski

101
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: because he's made a couple of those plays. You know

102
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: when he comes in and just you know, the ball

103
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: just makes a quick adjustment. Did you have flashbacks of

104
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: seeing the old number fifty four Maybe a little bit, Yeah,

105
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean I ran well with the ball too. Yeah,

106
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: the running back almost leaf frog who made it into

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the end zone too. It's a good run. So it

108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: uses blockers set out the block by Flowers and then

109
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: and it hurled again about the four five yard line.

110
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: So that was impressive. What's just like coaching a game

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: like this in which the next team that gets the

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: ball ends up scoring and the question is that they're

113
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: going to get seven to get three, and you look

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and I'm wondering what

115
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: you're thinking is you're looking at the game clock and

116
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: trying to figure it all out. The chess move one

117
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: step ahead of the other. Because if anything, you could

118
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: look at it in retrospect and say, with the hill

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown, Kansas City scored too early because

120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: that made you were going to get the ball back

121
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: and you were going to be able to control the

122
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: clock and you only needed three points to win the game.

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: So what was the thought processes you're playing that all out?

124
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: At the end? Bill Well, I think Andy had already

125
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: used a couple of timeouts and so they didn't have

126
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: their full complement of timeouts. And then when we converted

127
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: the third and one which was a big That was

128
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a big conversion. Then that gave us. I think he

129
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: might have used this last time out or next to

130
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: last timeout. I think he used a second time out

131
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: in that series where we picked up that third and one,

132
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: and so once that happened, then the NFL like we

133
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: could really control things, they couldn't really do much to

134
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: stop it. So we had James White out of the backfield.

135
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Then we hit rob and okay, the field goals. So

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, in all honesty, I don't think every time

137
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: they're I know, I know it's what you think, and

138
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: maybe that's what some of the other people think. I

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: don't think every time they get the ball they're going

140
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: to score. They got the ball two series before that

141
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: and we went three and out and got the ball

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: back for our offense. So I think he just got

143
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: to play each series as a is. But you know,

144
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: if you feel like you can have the last possession,

145
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: which we did, as long as you made that third

146
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: and short play, then then you can. Yeah, if you

147
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: get close enough, played on your terms, get down there,

148
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: kip the field goal at the end to win. So

149
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Bill at the end of the first quarter, you guys,

150
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: try that squip kick with Gastowski. I'm curious was that

151
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: properly executed and if not, what was the plan on that? Yeah, well,

152
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: obviously Lewis wasn't anything that we didn't want to do

153
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: anything like that. So was it miscommunication? Was he supposed

154
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: to kick it deep? Or was that a failed on

155
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: side type of situation? It was a bad play, ye. Yeah.

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever been a part of a team that

157
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: had never punted and didn't get any penalties? Well, those

158
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: are as long as you don't turn the ball over.

159
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: Not putting's a good thing. Yeah, not getting penalties, it's

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: definitely a good thing. But as long as you don't

161
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over. So well, we could have

162
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: used one punt. I guess, Well, I just I guess

163
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: with with all the passing, with all the you know,

164
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: holding calls, it's it seems just almost uncanny that nobody

165
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: even came close. I mean, it's it's it's impressive. But

166
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I went saw any

167
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: game Pop Warner or whatever where there wasn't one team

168
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: had no penalties whatsoever and having to false start. So

169
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: this might be a first few. O don't know, we've

170
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: had no penalty games before, but both no punting, and

171
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. We'll get the researches on.

172
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I think I saw research have been the first game

173
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: no punch, no penalties. Wow, and you guys have only

174
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: had eighteen I think offensive defensive penalties all year long.

175
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: That's got to be something you guys are proud of. Obviously, Yeah,

176
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: we try to play penalty for every week. Um, we've

177
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: had two many penalties in the kicking game, but defensively

178
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: not many, and offensively a few more in the defense

179
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: but still not bad. Britlin Speaks said that he let

180
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady go because he was fearful of getting a

181
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: roughing the passer penalty. I don't know why he'd be

182
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: worried about it, because it would be half the distance

183
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: to the goal, was only going to cost him a

184
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: couple of yards. How do you address it with your players?

185
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: Because this is something that's going on throughout the league

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: right now. We're seeing an awful lot of this stuff

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: called Well, we talked about it with the team last week,

188
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: and again I think after five regular season games, which

189
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: is where we were last week, that there's enough evidence

190
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: in on a lot of these rules as to how

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: they're being called, and so we talked about that. Fortunately,

192
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: we had an extra day in our work week, so

193
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: we were able to take a few minutes to address

194
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: some of the some of the calls catch no CATCHUM

195
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: rough in the pass or taunting kind of the way

196
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: that's being called. So you know, things like that. That

197
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: just to try to make sure that everybody understands what

198
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: we can and what we can't do. Gaskowski is a

199
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: guy that I don't know, it doesn't seem like he's

200
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: getting enough attention for what he's been doing for all

201
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: these years and for what he did last night five

202
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: or five I have four four field goals, I mean

203
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: five or five field goals and in a game where

204
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: you need points like you can't leave the field and

205
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: not come out a few with with points. I guess.

206
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Just talk about him and just what a clutched guy

207
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: he's been for you guys. Yeah, Steve's been tremendously consistent. Um,

208
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: he works hard, he trains well, he's in good shape, man,

209
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: He's got a strong leg, he's very uh poised and discipline,

210
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: doesn't get rattled, doesn't get that high on the big kicks,

211
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: and doesn't you don't get that low if if something

212
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: goes wrong. So he's really steady and consistent. And um,

213
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: I've just been so fortunate here to have two great,

214
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: great kickers. UM. So yeah, that you know, you have

215
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of never really worried about that position, thankfully. Have

216
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: you ever, like for Adam or or Guskowski, have you

217
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: ever before a big kick have you ever said anything

218
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: to them? Or is it like a picture going through

219
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: a No, heir, you just stay the hell away from him.

220
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Guys like you got it right up the middle. Yeah,

221
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: it's it's because there's been a lot. Yeah, we depending

222
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: on the situation any normally there's not a lot to

223
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: talk about UM. Like last night, for example, there was

224
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: a positioning of the ball was a factor, so we

225
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: we centered the ball to put it in the middle. UM.

226
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes if there's UM and oftentimes in our stadium there's

227
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: a win situation so that you wouldn't necessarily want it

228
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: in the middle. You might want it on one hash

229
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: or another based on the kicker's reference, So you know,

230
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: to talk about that or UM. But I mean, for

231
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: the most part, unless you're going to do something unusual,

232
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: there isn't much to talk about. Like if you're going

233
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: to try to hard count and draw them off side.

234
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: If it was a long field goal or if it

235
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: was fourth and less than five and you're trying to

236
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, run a play like that, then obviously talk

237
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: to the kicker about it so he was aware of it.

238
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: But otherwise the strategy is pretty pretty straightforward. Yeah, that's

239
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: the only reason to send the field goal team out there.

240
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: That's what I tell them. The only reason you guys

241
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: are going out up there's a score points. I mean,

242
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to put pressure on you, but that's

243
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: what your job is is to come back here with points. Yeah.

244
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: The reason I will saying just because I've you know,

245
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: I've met some play with some kickers who weren't mentally

246
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: strong like that moment kind of got to him. And

247
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: sometimes they need it, I guess, just a look or

248
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: just some you know, affirmation from anybody to to just

249
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: to make themselves feel better about you just take kickers. Yeah, No,

250
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, and that's uh. I would say,

251
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Steven Adam, I would not put them in that category.

252
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: And they're confident they know what they have to do.

253
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: They don't I don't think they need a big conversation

254
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: or um, you know, a big kumbaya with them does

255
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: let them concentrate on what they're doing, go out there

256
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: and do it, and that seems to work work well

257
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: for them. We were talking about Tyreek Kill earlier, and

258
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: you know he's fast. I mean, is it even not

259
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: just surprise you with shock you when you see it

260
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: in person, but is it when Mahomes kind of scrambles

261
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: extends plays that makes him really dangerous and tough to cover. Oh,

262
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: he's tough to cover anything. I mean, he's tough to

263
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: cover a period. He's very explosive, and he's a smart runner.

264
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: He knows how to use a speed. I mean he

265
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: doesn't just run fast into being covered. He runs fast

266
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: into open spaces and knows how to stem routes and

267
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: attack leverage and then get the open space. So he's

268
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: he's good at all of it. There was some defensive

269
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: plays made and you don't necessarily look at that when

270
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: you see a forty three to forty game. You talked

271
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: Kristen about limiting field goals versus touchdowns. They got exactly

272
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: a situation that you like to get yourself in where

273
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: you're going to have that last possession hopefully at the

274
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: end of the first half and you're gonna acceptable in

275
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: the second half. They got exactly that Harmon made that

276
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: big interception. How huge was that knowing that they did

277
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: score in that sixty seven yard in the two open

278
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: up the second half, How big was that at the time? Yeah,

279
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: that was a big playoff was certainly a lot of momentum,

280
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: but seven points or seven points or three points whatever

281
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: would have been so high. Tower had a lot to

282
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: do with that. He came in there and after he jammed,

283
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey came in and put pressure on on the home

284
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: and then we had Kelsey double covered. So um, when

285
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: the pressure came from my Tower, he threw it in.

286
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: They're into double coverage literally and all got that around.

287
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: It came down to Duran's hand. So um, that was

288
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: a big stop for us. That was you know, it's

289
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: huge to get those, especially in retrospect. Didn't really seem

290
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: like the at the time that three points was although

291
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: you know in this game it's gonna end up being closed.

292
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: I think you just felt that, Um, yeah, those are

293
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: three big points. You know, Lewis talking about Tyreek Hill

294
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: and just how fast he was, and like sometimes you

295
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: can think you have an angle on a guy and

296
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: then you realize, no, no, I don't because I saw

297
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I think I saw either Devin or durn talking about

298
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: how he's one of the fastest guys ever seen in pads?

299
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: Is he? And if he isn't, do you know you

300
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: can you give me another guy who think it is

301
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: one of the fastest. Uh No, he's the fastest guy

302
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: you ever seen in past. He's fast. He's fast. Trying

303
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: to think of rocket rocket Ishmael. Maybe No, those guys

304
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: too quick. I mean there's yeah, there's fast guys. He's fast.

305
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: We've had a couple Olympic sprinters, Bethel Johns, they're yeah,

306
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: Bates Um we had in Cleveland. Uh kid, we have

307
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: from Florida running back from Florida, Um who ended up

308
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: going back into track. Yeah, was fast. I mean they're not.

309
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're like Trey Hill fast. We were

310
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: talking earlier about Josh Gordon and Christian was pointing out that,

311
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: you know these slants, he catches the ball with his hands,

312
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: he just plucks it out of the air. I mean,

313
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: is that something that you just you don't normally see

314
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: your guys comfortable being able to do that. And he is. Yeah,

315
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: that's what you want to do. That's what you want

316
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: the receivers do is tack the ball with their hands

317
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: and take it out in front. Um. And he has good,

318
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: strong hands. He's they're big and and they're soft and uh,

319
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: but they're strong. When he catches the ball, you can

320
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: you can tell even on the practice field, it's a

321
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: it's a clamp grip. So. Um, guys had a really

322
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: good hands. You know you don't. You don't really hear

323
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: the ball hit their hands. Um, they just had that

324
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: give and control and all that. A lot of guys

325
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: that don't have good hands. You hear the smack, you

326
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: hear the ball Clyde with their hands and um. But yeah,

327
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: I put Joush into that category. He's gonna get soft hands.

328
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: He's got good He's able to adjust. He's athletic and inflexible,

329
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: so you can adjust the balls enough to be right

330
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: there in front of him. It's behind him or high

331
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: or low. He can adjust put all right, Pill, Before

332
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: we close this out, I got one of the bears

333
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: for Sunday afternoon. A lot is going to be made

334
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: of Khalil Mack and he's a terrific player. How much

335
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: is he opening up for other players defensively? A keym

336
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: kicks a guy that you know extremely well, has played

337
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: extremely well. Does Mac just change what they do defensively

338
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: and just open stuff up for other guys because you've

339
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: got to put so much attention on Mac. Well, let's

340
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: say to this point, I haven't seen a lot of

341
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: I would say game planning with him. They put them

342
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: where they put them and play their defense. They don't.

343
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: They don't do a lot that um where he moves

344
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: into different positions or that type of thing. He's basically

345
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: on our right side, and he's a very explosive player

346
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: off the ball, speed to power guy, and you know,

347
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: and he's been very disruptive. He's had interceptions, he had stacks,

348
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: he's had striped sacks, he's at fumbles, batted balls and

349
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: everything else. So he's he's a tough guy to deal with. Um,

350
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure it makes everybody else better because there is

351
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: some attention to him. But at the same time, he's

352
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: been disruptive in every game that I've seen. All Right,

353
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: So we're gonna wrap things up with our Mercedes Benz

354
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Drive of the Week. Coach. I know you look forward

355
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: to this question more than anything during the week. It

356
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: is right, you can end the week and you onto Chicago.

357
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: So what do you think was the best drive? There's

358
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Yeah, let's go to the last one,

359
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the winning touchover, the winning field goal. Let's go and

360
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: go with that one. It's funny because was that, um,

361
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: so Gronk was finally I feel like finally singled out

362
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: like and coverage. Were you guys surprised that at that

363
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: point in time in the game they were going to

364
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: I think it was a safety? Would I even shared

365
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: him a thirty eight? Yeah, yeah, Parker was on him.

366
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Um wouldn't say surprised. He was on him before. I

367
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: think if he rob had been in tight the end

368
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: probably would have jammed him, so it would it look

369
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: like double coverage. So by extending him, well, we would

370
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: have either forced the double coverage out, which would have

371
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: created space or somebody else and or changed the pass

372
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: rush um, or they might not go out with him,

373
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: which they didn't, and then you know, created one on

374
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: one situation. So um, Tom saw that. Tom doesn't miss

375
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: miss much anyway, but he wasn't gonna miss that one. Yeah.

376
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: Carrasar Driver of the Week Okay, now you can go ahead.

377
