1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: We wanted to ask you about something you said yesterday

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: that when you start all over against Kansas City, there's

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: a different game plan, a different obviously Andy Reids maybe

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: and they're and Eric the enemy maybe a little bit

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: different offensively in terms of what you saw with Houston.

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious as to what might be the similarities,

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: if there are many, between the Chiefs and the Texans. Yeah,

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like, we don't really look at it that way.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: So I think what we would trying to do is

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: look at the you know, the Chiefs and kind of

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: what we feel like we need to do against them

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: at that point, relate that to what we did most

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 1: recently against Houston, and then say, okay, you know, we

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: do we need to change this or can we just

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: keep it the same, or can we take something that

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: we did last week and make it called close enough

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: to what what it would need to be for Kansas

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: City so that we have as little disruption as you

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: know possible, or have as much carry over as possible.

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you don't want to have too much

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: carry over because you don't want it to look exactly

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: the same as what it looked like last week. So

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: that's you know what Kansas City's looking at. So it's

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: really not about trying to make Kansas City the same

25
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: as Houston. It's look at Kansas City as Kansas City,

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and then if there's an opportunity to to do things

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: that were similar to last week with Houston for continuity sake, UM,

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: that's one thing. But if they're not, then you know,

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: we just have to change it. The fifth the chiefs

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: and if I can follow up is the flip of

31
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: that also true that you can't assume that Kansas City

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: will see things and what you did against Houston and

33
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: coach it that way. I mean, can you kind of

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: get yourself into a coaching circle if you will, um

35
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: by trying to outthink it all? Right? Well, yeah, I

36
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: think that maybe I didn't have clearly enough, but I

37
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: think you know what I'm trying to say there, I

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: hope yeah, yeah, No, Look, I think Kansas City has

39
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: enough breath to their offense to look, they've seen everything.

40
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, they've seen man, they've seen zone. They've seen

41
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: different types of man, different types of zone, different types

42
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: of blissas different fronts. You know, there's a certain fundamental

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: way that they would attack any of those, and no,

44
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I think if they know where you're going to be,

45
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna have something pretty good against it. So

46
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, you don't always want to just line up

47
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: and tell them, look, this is what we're in and

48
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: let's see what you want to do about it, because

49
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna, you know, have a good scheme or

50
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: a good matchup that's going to cause you a problem.

51
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: So you know, somewhere along the line, you're gonna have

52
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: to disguise and you know, make them figure it out.

53
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, there's a point where you know, you might

54
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: just have to line up and play it and maybe

55
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: they know what you're in. But you know, I don't

56
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: think you want to do that the whole game and

57
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: just you know, let them tee off on you. And

58
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: they're not going to do the same thing either. They're

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: not just going to give you a couple of looks

60
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: and say, okay, you know here we are. They'll run

61
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: complimentary plays, um complimentary formations and and uh personnel groups

62
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: that even if it is the same play, it'll look

63
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,839
Speaker 1: differently or it'll look like it's the same play, but

64
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: it'll have a misdirection or a count or element to

65
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: it that if you're over playing one thing, then you

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: can't stop the other one. So it's I mean, that's

67
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: just what they do. They're very good at it. They

68
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: have a lot of complimentary plays. It's if you're stopping

69
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 1: one thing, you're probably a little light on something else.

70
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's hard. It's hard to stop everything.

71
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: It's hard to stop. You know. They're the different elements

72
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: that they have within really a one basic concept, they

73
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: have two or three things that offshoot, and then you

74
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: go to another concept with another set of offshoots, and

75
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's just the multiples um you know, are

76
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: are a lot and they're good at it, and they

77
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of good players. So that's you know,

78
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: it's all one big challenge with the chiefs. It isn't

79
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: like just stopping one guy or trying to stop one

80
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: one play or you know, formation or anything like that.

81
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: There's there's enough of everything that you've got to work

82
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: on at all, and sometimes it runs together and and

83
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: again they eventually find mismatches and where as they can

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, puncture you I appreciate it, Oh, thank you, sure, Mike.

85
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: My next question, Nick Romley called by Mike Grease that

86
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: morning Milt, and I wanted to ask about the team's

87
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: current situation at kicker of the following yesterday's transaction. You

88
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: guys currently don't have a police kicker on the roster.

89
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: What is the plan with the police kicker between now

90
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: and Sunday? Do you plan on bringing back Nick Volk? Well,

91
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: we have, you know, we have a few days to

92
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: work that out, so we'll we'll look at our options

93
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: and try to do what I feel like the best

94
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: with the team based on what our what our options are.

95
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly exactly how that's going to go,

96
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: but we'll see. And if I can just get one more,

97
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: I want to ask about the the element today. I

98
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: want there's some a long history of anecdotes coming about

99
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: of players getting stuck in traffic or having trouble with

100
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: the snow. How does the team deal with logistics on

101
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: snowy days like this? And how much do you make

102
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: it clear to the players that there are no uses

103
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: for getting to the stadium on time to practice when

104
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: a couple of feet of snow outside? All right, well,

105
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, the players aren't in today.

106
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Today's yeah, rehab day and a player day off and

107
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: that type of thing, so we don't really have to

108
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: worry about the specifics of today. But I was just

109
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: say in general. You know, anytime you're working with large

110
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: group of people like we are, and we're all dependent

111
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: on each other, you know, we just we just can't

112
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: all come in and work whenever we feel like it,

113
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: um sitting pupple and you know, do our thing without

114
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: interacting with everybody else. It just it just wouldn't work.

115
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: We just can't operate that way. Um, So we have

116
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: to find a way whether and whatever the circumstances are,

117
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: we have to find a way that we can all

118
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: work together so that we can communicate our our ideas

119
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and our plans and get feedback and you know, have

120
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: the interaction with with all the players, coaches and teammates

121
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: and so forth in order to prepare for you know,

122
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: a team competition. So whatever we can do to facilitate that,

123
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: and that's what we do. And that encompasses a lot

124
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: of different a lot of different things, a lot of

125
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: different logistics. So you know, whether it could be a

126
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: challenge and based on what the what the circumstances are,

127
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: and what day it is and what we're doing and

128
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: so forth, and we try to have a plan to

129
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: maximize what we need to do and the circumstances that

130
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: we have to work around or work with, so that

131
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: I know, it doesn't specifically answer your question about today,

132
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: but we're not dealing with today, So if something happened tomorrow,

133
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: it would depend on what the circumstances were. But ultimately

134
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: that's our goal, is to try to be able to

135
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: get our team to prepare for our competition, and we

136
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: do whatever we need to do to do that. Maybe

137
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: it's to stay on schedule, maybe it's a modify as

138
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: a schedule, maybe it's it could be a number of

139
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: different things. It would just depend on the individual situation

140
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: at that particular time. Sorry for the long answer, no worries,

141
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm very broad, but addressed it in general. Thanks Bill, Yeah,

142
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: you're welcome. Next question Mike Greece, followed by Phil Perry. Hey, Bill,

143
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: just following up on Nick's first question there, just I

144
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: was curious last week how much having Jake handled the

145
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: field goals was at all part of any conversation that

146
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: you had. I know he did it back at Santa

147
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: fe Christian High School, but knowing that if he did that,

148
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: it would have disrupt the holder and all that. I

149
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: was curious if you guys had even discussed that as

150
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: a possibility. Yeah, we've looked at a number of different options.

151
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: And last week was last week, this week's this week,

152
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: and maybe it'll be the same, maybe it'll be different,

153
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: and maybe some of the circumstances around that will change. Um. Well,

154
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: that situation came up pretty late in a week. UM,

155
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: so this week we have a little more time to

156
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: plan and evaluate the whole you know, the entire situation.

157
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: We'll see see you again, see what our oftens are

158
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: and try to try to make the best one. And

159
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: yesterday you guys cleaned m Albert Huggins, the defensive tackle

160
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: on waivers. What what takee up player is he? Well,

161
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: he's uh, obviously a young player, rookie player. Got you know,

162
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: we evaluated um last year in the draft Clemson. UM.

163
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's a pretty big kid, you know, sixty

164
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: three fish somewhere in that ballpark, Um, over three hundred pounds.

165
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: He's you know, had had a little bit of playing

166
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: time for um, you know, for Philadelphia, was with Houston

167
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. So you know, about a couple

168
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: of different looks at him. We only had five defensive

169
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: linemen on our roster and now he was on waivers.

170
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: So take a look at it. See how goes. I

171
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: don't know. Thank you. The next question Phil Perry, followed

172
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: by Karen Greenian. Thanks safety, Phil. I wanted to ask

173
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: you about something that I heard you mentioned on the

174
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: radio yesterday, and you mentioned that second down passing against

175
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: Houston was an issue for you guys, and I'm just curious.

176
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: We have asked you many times about third down, and

177
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: it seems like there are characteristics about the third down

178
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: passing games that are, um, you know, not not exactly

179
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: the theme, but relatively consistent across the league. You might

180
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: get a different running back in there, you might get

181
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: an extra receiver. But I'm curious, because we don't talk

182
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: much about second down, is there anything that is specific

183
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: to second down passing that that makes it a challenge? Well? Sure,

184
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, the offense has more options

185
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: now they have two downs instead of one third down.

186
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're in a fourth down situation, which

187
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: that's you know, another longer conversation, but you know plenty

188
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: of teams do that too. Um. But putting that aside

189
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: for the moment. Third down is really a one down

190
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: situation where a second down is you know, you have

191
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: two downs left. So it's an area we didn't do

192
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: a very good job of against Houston and um, honestly,

193
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't that great against Kansas City last year either

194
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: in the playoff game. So we got something. We have

195
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: to do a better job of coaching and executing. You know,

196
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: we all do a better job in that area. So

197
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: feel the story. I'm just taking myself up e there.

198
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I just um to follow up. You say they have

199
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: more options. Does that mean, you know, as as a

200
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: defense you have to be I know you have to

201
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: be ready for run or pass on third down two,

202
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: But is that amplified on second down? Yeah, I mean

203
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want. They can they can run,

204
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: they can throw short, they complete a ten yard pass,

205
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: then they pick up the first down on second down

206
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: and there is no third down. So you know they

207
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: pick up five yards on third and eight. You know,

208
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: it's a different story than picking up five yards on

209
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: second and eight. Just defensively, have more things to to defend,

210
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: more things to worry about, and third down is I

211
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: would say more. I mean it's a one place the situation.

212
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't think the offense has as many options. I mean,

213
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: they can call whatever play they want. I mean I

214
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: understand that that's what offenses do. They can run whatever

215
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: they want to run. But say that, you know, defensively,

216
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: there's centers an advantage to knowing on one play you

217
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: have to defend x amount of yards with whatever personnel

218
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: group they put on the field. And I think there's

219
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: usually some things that you can eliminate and say, well

220
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: they're they're probably not going to percentages are based on

221
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, the team that they have and so forth,

222
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: that there's something you can definitely eliminate or have a

223
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: very high percentage to eliminate in that situation. On second down,

224
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: there's probably you know a few things you could eliminate,

225
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: but not nearly as many. You just have to defend

226
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: a lot more and said in our case, we just

227
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: we need to do a better job of it. They

228
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: need to the coach a better and I need to

229
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: play better. Thanks Bill. Next question Kieran Grieg, probably by

230
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Michael Dregor. Good morning, Bill. I was just wondering, um,

231
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: in watching some of the film of the Chiefs, how

232
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: much you've seen Patrick Mahomes mature. He's talked about this year.

233
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: He thinks he's taking what the defense gives him a

234
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: little more in not forcing things. So I was wondering

235
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: what you've seen from watching the film of Mahomes. He's obviously,

236
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, a great player, has a lot of skill, um,

237
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: terrific arm and very athletic kids. So you know he

238
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: would be better suited answer that than I would. I

239
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: don't really know what he's being told on each particular

240
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: their play, um, and you know where where he where

241
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: he should go or whether the read is you know,

242
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: from A to B or B to A or C

243
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: to B the you know, I just I don't know

244
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: that for sure, So his decision making and so forth,

245
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to evaluate that unless you know you're

246
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: coaching the player and you know what he's being told

247
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: to do and you know the progression that he's following.

248
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: So um, it'd be hard for me to comment on that.

249
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: But I would say that he's he's a great player. Um,

250
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, he spreads the ball around, he gets it

251
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: to everybody. They have a lot of explosive plays. They

252
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of explosive players. But you know, his

253
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: job really is to is to get the ball to

254
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the explosive players so they can do something with it.

255
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: And he does a very good job of that. So

256
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: got excellent vision um accuracy, and when there's when the

257
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: defense doesn't defend i'll play well or properly, then he's

258
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: he's usually able to take advantage of it. And so

259
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: I would say his vision and his execution and accuracy

260
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: are all very good. And so that's that enables him

261
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: to do that. But far as how much he feels

262
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: like he's matured or is reading better, so for I mean,

263
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: be hard for me to really evaluate that, but I'm

264
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: sure that's the way he feels. It's probably true. Okay,

265
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: thank you, Bill, You're welcome. It looks like our first

266
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: question is also our last question now, Mike, pat go ahead, Mike,

267
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: all right, Stacy, thanks Bill about James Farrens, wanting to

268
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: get your feel how he did coming in for Ted

269
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: the other night, and the TV camera I think caught

270
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: you and Dante having a conversation as he was going

271
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: into the game. I'm curious what's the dynamic, like, what

272
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: are your conversations with Dante in game In a situation

273
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: like that where you have one player replacing another along

274
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Yeah, I don't they our conversation at

275
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: that time had anything to do with james parents. Um,

276
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: so I was just kind of coincidental. James again, has

277
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: a lot of experience, even though he doesn't have a

278
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of playing time, but he has a lot of experience.

279
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: He's played a lot of football, He's practiced a lot

280
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: of football, been with us for a long time. He

281
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: knows our offense and all the things that go with it,

282
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: the line calls, the cadence and so forth. You know,

283
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: extremely well. He's one of the hardest working players on

284
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: the Team's very dependable, he's tough. He communicates well on

285
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line to you know, direct topic. Ed, David

286
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: Andrews and Ted also do so we're very fortunate that

287
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: we have, yeah, and multiple people that can do that,

288
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: and that's a key part of that position. Um. But

289
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: another key part is obviously you have to block somebody

290
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: on every play. There's no place that the center is

291
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: not involved in them and the blocking, whether it's ron

292
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: or pass, you know, you can't run away from the center.

293
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: He's right in the middle of the place. So you know,

294
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: his his in stinct and awareness and quickness and playing strength,

295
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: and I would say experience, even though it's not all

296
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: in game, experience are all, you know, positives, And he

297
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: does a does a great job for us every day.

298
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: And he's backed up Andrews, and he's backed up Chrosum,

299
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: and you put him in there in practice, it's pretty seamless.

300
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: But he's done a great job of helping our defense

301
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: prepare for our opposing offense and their operation. Cayden snapcount

302
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: my points, li of scrimmish communication and so forth. And

303
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: he's done a great job of that and has been

304
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: recognized multiple times by our staff or the the look

305
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: he's given us in practice and the way he's helped

306
