1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: As a play caller, when is playing at the level 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: he played on Sunday, what does that do for you 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: as a play caller. He did a great job. He 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job with the ball in his hands. 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: I thought the whole line protected him well. Um, I 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: think it was a full eleven man operation out there. 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: I thought kwon definitely benefit from that. He ran hard. Um, 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: he played well. But does he do things maybe some 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: other guys couldn't even everybody playing well. He's a special player. 10 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: He's absolutely a special player and a guy that you 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: look forward to make those of plays like There's just 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: that that I think he faced the least loaded boxes 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: in any running back in the league. Obviously know the 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: defense makes that decision, but I think you can do 15 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: to influence that so you can keep the boxing being crowded. Sure, sure, 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: there's there's definitely things you can do within the game plan, 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: whether it's personnel based, formation based, motion base, So there's 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: definitely some things that that you look at to try 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: and get those opportunities a game like he had. Do 20 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: you expect now that to flip a little bit where 21 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: you out this week? You could be facing a ton 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: more out boxes, which get maybe the opportunity to that time. 23 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: I think I think you planned for it. Um. I 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: don't know exactly what they're gonna do and they but UM, 25 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: I think you you plan for those things and you 26 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: have you gotta have answers within within the scheme and 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: within your game plan, your planting versions. Think that's something 28 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: you had in your pocket from Kansas City days from 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: way back when or anything. What's the background and plays? No, 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: So as a staff, we kind of get together and 31 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: put it all together, um and and come up with ideas, 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: creative ideas. There's things that that we that we really like, 33 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: maybe we don't use them this week or last week 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: and that we carry over, or there's things that we 35 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: really like that we want to call for that week 36 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: versus that specific defense. And they're pretty unique that way. 37 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: So I think when you really look at the tape, UM, 38 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,559 Speaker 1: they played it well, say Kwan has made a great 39 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: play to finish it. So that's a play you guys 40 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: came up with as a staff in this Yeah yeah, 41 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean you see you see UM in my past 42 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: we've run plays like that, UM, but it's a version 43 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: of it. It wasn't one that like we pulled exactly 44 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: from my past, but it's a version of it, and 45 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, it certainly helped us. What's the 46 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: benefit throwing it underhand as opposed to traditionally overhand. It's 47 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: just it could just come out a little bit like quick, faster, 48 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: and it's a little bit tougher angle because it's it's 49 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: kind of close quarters on that the underhand is an easier, 50 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: softer way of getting the ball, like still quickly and accurately, 51 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: like you used motion on something like thirty eight at 52 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: your offensive place. Why is that such a big element 53 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: of this offense. Yeah, I think anytime you can kind 54 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: of distort the box UM, whether it's creating you know, 55 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: numbers count like we talked about earlier, UM getting guys 56 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: in different spots, influencing second level and third level defenders, 57 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: that that helps. Whether it's pass or run, it could 58 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: help whatever the scheme you want to run. So but 59 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: I think it helps also with the old line, getting 60 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: certain angles on blocks. I think you can help UM 61 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: in the past game, whether creating certain types of leverages. 62 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: So there's definitely a lot of benefits to it. That's 63 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: something that has been in other like obviously we've seen 64 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: a lot in the Kansas City offensive, which you're like, 65 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: fly speed. Has that been a part of offenses you've 66 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: always been in or is that something we really learned 67 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. No, it's been in a lot of 68 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: the offenses I've been in, UM, and you know, it's 69 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: something I think it's important for what we want to do. 70 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: We're speaking on the touchdown before the two point conversion 71 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: that they're gonna a very effective one that tricked that 72 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: they're just going to crash down on him. Yeah, we 73 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: we had that one in our back pocket. It was 74 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: in the game plan. We had it in our back pocket. UM. 75 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: We had some success running that play as a run 76 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: for I think it was the first touchdown UM, and 77 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: so you know, we knew we kind of had a 78 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: compliment to it, and once we kind of got in 79 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: that situation on the right on the right spot, kind 80 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: of just fell into place to run it, and then 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: the guys executed it. Well. We saw, you know, Brian 82 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: go up to Daniel after the interception and sort of 83 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: animatedly make his point to Daniel as a guy who 84 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: was a quarterback in this league and we're passing game corner. 85 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: What do you make of that? What are the benefits 86 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: of it? Would you do? Do you personally like to 87 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: wait till afterwards to have that conversation hades that, what's 88 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: your whole opinion on that? How Dave's handled it just 89 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: going up to the quarterback midgame? And oh yeah, no, 90 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: you you absolutely want to give him the information and 91 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: get get the questions answered. Do whatever issue happens, you 92 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: want to get it solved right away and then be 93 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: able to communicate you know what we're gonna do next. So, um, 94 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think there's there's there's always 95 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: a time and a place for that. Does that just 96 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: show his personality though? Or how much does that show 97 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: is personally talking about Damo that he's willing to go 98 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: and do that. And yeah, I mean I think, you know, 99 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: I think everyone everyone's holding each other accountable. Everyone's accountable 100 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: to one another on the team. That's how we're that's 101 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: how we've always been from day one. We're all on 102 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: this thing together. So I think, you know, we've got 103 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: to have those sometimes tough conversations. And I think, you know, 104 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: Dave's does it in his way that I think makes 105 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: them special, right, And that's how Dave's gets the best 106 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: out of players. So, um, you know, I think everyone's different, 107 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: but there's no right or wrong way and how to 108 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: handle it? My thing? How would you describe that? So 109 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: Dave's way, like what's his way? Like, what's how does 110 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: he do it? I mean, I think I think was 111 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: what you saw. I mean he kind of little fire 112 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: under his um under Daniel and then we came back 113 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: in the second half put together a great twelve play 114 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: drive to go down and win it. You know, Daniel 115 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: had a lot to do with that drive. Um, so 116 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: I think it was effective in that in that respect. 117 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: Did you think that was like that was a really 118 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: interesting way to end your first games? Like my collar right, 119 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: we're going for team? Could you just walk us through 120 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: like when he says we're going for two? Okay, so 121 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: like what are your emotions in that moment and then 122 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: how many plays are you considering? Uh? Can you just 123 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: walk us through the process in your emotions in that Yeah? Um, 124 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: so we had the ball before we were talking through 125 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: plays that we liked. Really that whole second half while 126 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: the defense was on the field talking through plays, um 127 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: that we really like things that we wanted to get to, 128 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: and I think we had we had a couple of 129 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: explosives in that drive that helped us get into range, 130 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: and once we kind of got into the red zone, 131 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: we kind of settled down. We had really specific thoughts 132 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: on what we wanted to get there, and the guys 133 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: went out there and execute it. Really at the end 134 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: of the day, we had full trust in those guys, 135 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: whether it was going for two down inside the red zone. 136 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: Like I think as a staff, when we were talking 137 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: about putting those guys in those spots, I think that 138 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: that meant a lot to the players to show that 139 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of confidence and and had that kind of confidence. 140 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: And those guys want to think your heart with singing 141 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: or like no, I mean the beauty of it. And 142 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: you guys have been around here throughout training camp, We've 143 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: been put through a lot of different situations, two minutes 144 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: on the ball, no huddle, hurry up type situations that 145 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: I think really prepped us, not only as a staff 146 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: or as a play caller, but as for the players. 147 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: To those guys really prepped it. And that was great 148 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: because we did it everything. We do it every single 149 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: day and we continue to do it. Like you have 150 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: frequent substitutions that you guys had especially early in the 151 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: game something we can expect and was there some confusion 152 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: early on maybe from some of the guys as as 153 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna get Yeah, I think I think we gotta 154 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: continue to work on it. That was one of our 155 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: points of emphasis this week was just getting in out 156 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: of huddle quickly end up to the last scrimmage UM. 157 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: That way we can use those motions, we can use 158 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: those shifts and things that we want to do and 159 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: also give the quarterback more time and finash scrimmage top rate. 160 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: So that was a point of emphasis, and that's things 161 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: that we're working on. Things that we self evaluated from 162 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: the game.
