• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Now every day he comes in here with a plan
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to get better. Um and and he just you know, um,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, a guy like that probably would
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: love to get more snaps or play longer or whatever.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: But being on a rotation and whatnot keeps these guys fresh.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But he he, uh, he's a he's a team player
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: through and through. He prepares that way. Practice is hard.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: You know, a great leader in the locker room with
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the guys. And uh, some of that's well respected. What
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is that player is Patrick Mahoos. He's a great player.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Most of the challenge, it's a huge challenge you to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: be able to contain, we hope. So what are you
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: going to do to try and do that? You know
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: with a guy like that, you know, he he does
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a great job of you know, just sort of ad
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: living sort of on the run out of the pocket.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: He's hard to sack, hard to get to. Ball, comes
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: out fast and can come out anywhere. Um. And that's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: what makes them special, you know. And um, we just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: got to do our best to you know, uh, stay
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: attached to to receivers and tight ends backs out of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the backfield and and um, you know, the pass rush
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: has got to be you know, it's got to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on point, you know, and and and try to put
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: as much pressure as we can and try to keep
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: him in the pocket. But that's that's a that's a challenge,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that's hard to do. How is their offense changed from
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: maybe what you saw last year when they had Tyree
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Hillton now where it's truly running group pretty much the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: homes and Kelsey. Yeah, you know, I would say the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: biggest thing is probably just the deep balls, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: not quite as many as what you saw your go,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: but they're still explosive. They can still catch and run
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: through the defense, you know, Kelsey in the red zone,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: um is tough to defend. And you know a coach
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: read is uh just a great designer of of plays
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and to get his get his guys open, you know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And but that's probably the biggest thing. It's just not
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as many you know, down the field deep throws. No, No,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure when you design your office you pick and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: choose and take from a lot of different people. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for you, how much is Andy in Kansas City versus
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Andy when he was in Philly and inspiration kind of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for you? Yeah, you know, I mean it's it's obviously
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time he's coached me, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I've worked with him and worked for him and everything,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and UM, you know just uh, the players love him.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's he's hard, he's you know, disciplinarian.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He he demands a lot, you know, all the things
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that that I strive to do, you know, in my
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in my job and UM and then just with the offense,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you know, he is creative. UM does a great job
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of putting his his guys in in positions to make plays.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And and you know, you just see it over the years,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the teams that they've UM put out there have all
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all been great football teams, you know. And and same
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: same thing in Philly. You know, it started out slow,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: uh in ninety nine when I was there as a player,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: but but quickly quickly escalated with with you know, better
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: talent around and a better quarterback at the time, and uh,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know they were they were competing for you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: NFC title games, just like they are you know now
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Just going back to Kansa City. Need
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: anything for you, It's good food, yeah, you know it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it's UM obviously it's a great, great place. Uh, you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the Midwest. Um, a great place to live, raise a family,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: all of that, and you know Arrowhead just you know
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: what you miss is that probably the fans there. You know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it's a passionate fan base and great atmosphere on game day. Um,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be exciting. Statue Where's I can't I can't,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I can't comment, don't comment, I will I will incriminate myself.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: All your time as a player and as a coach,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: have you ever seen a greater depth of really good
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to elite quarterbacks that we're seeing now, particularly on the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: A f C side of the Wedgard Well, I mean
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: go back to you know when I first came into
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the league. I mean you had when you think at quarterbacks,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I mean there were you know, guys like uh, you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Dan Marino were in the league, and the Jim Kelly's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: were in the league, and um, you know it's just
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Troy Aikman was was playing. I mean there were there
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: were some great quarterbacks then, you know, and Steve Young
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was playing, and you know you think about some of those.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You know, um Elway was still playing, you know at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the time, and some great quarterbacks. Now I'd say that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: over the years the position has changed, probably a little
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: more towards the Steve Young type of quarterback, where these
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: guys are a little more athletic, can move around a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: lot better. Offenses are different. Um. The RPO has changed
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: our game, UM, But the talent of quarterback is still
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it's still. You know, especially in the f C, is
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: is high. There's something and there's some great young quarterbacks
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you know that are up and coming. Get to that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: because a lot of the quarterbacks you mentioned were on
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the back side of their career. Those great quarterbacks you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: mentioned on the back side of their careers. Now it
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: seems like there's at least a half dozen in the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a f C that are you know, twenty seven years
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: or younger and have already shown elite skills. And its
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: warning is a lot of this the age we live in.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: These quarterbacks are getting these seven on seven tournaments in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: high school, they're they're getting prepared maybe a little bit earlier,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I think. So I think there's just more availability, you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: more training. Um, when they're in high school and college
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and you know, there's there's you can send a guy
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to you know, to any any camp or any any
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: specialist you know out there to to develop his skill set.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I think that they started a young age and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of competition you know, out there,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: so it makes uh, it makes it fun to watch,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you know, to see such young talent at that position,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you know, in the NFL, and these guys will be
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: competing for a long time. With everything Genius said, they're
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: scoring down the league, get any earies and that I
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: recompicunity about the shell defenses and chan change of the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: play opportunity, there's some of that. Um I think, uh,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think defenses are getting you know, leaner, better, better
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: pass rushers, you know, on the defense, you know, coverage
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: guys are getting getting better, and it's just comes in cycles,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: comes in waves, and um, you know, it's just it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: where we are, you know. Um, it's it's still a
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: league to where I think you you know, and I've
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: said this before you throw the score, you run to win,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: right and you kind of have to be built that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: way and and utilize your strengths, um when you can
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and and and rely on the run game obviously in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: this league. But the teams that are there at the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: end are all teams that can that can throw the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: ball and score points. Race still in the concussion protocol.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Any other injuries at this time, no, everybody else will
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: get some work in today. Um, you know, uh practice,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know both the walk through in the practice and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then and then Race. Shawn is the only one. Yeah,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: still in the protocol. How did you feel payed off
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: obviously missing two games with the NIST. He played played good,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he was explosive. I had a nice return there to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: start the second half. You know, probably missed uh, missed
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: an opportunity, just some blocks, things like that, but just
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: missed on maybe one more. But yeah, I thought coming
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: off the the injury, played played well, Travisy, team leaves
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the league in twenty five plus yard runs. How important
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: or huge is it to be able to have a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: guy that can rip off a big play like that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: at any given moment for all that, Yeah, I mean
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's it's it is great. It's good to have, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a guy that's making plays like that, especially you know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: explosive ones. You know, credit the guys that are blocking obviously,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: um and creating those holes. But he's he's been able
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to you know, ripped through marm tackles and and and extend,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you know, extend to run but yeah, you never know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you never know when that one play is gonna come
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: where he's gonna he's gonna rip one off. One of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the most homes, probably its most our creating quarterback face
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: at the same point out no passes and you feel
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: like you've gotten corral and you know that, you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: cec yards across the field until we get to our
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: next game. I mean you think about it. Yeah, I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: mean my homes. Uh, you know Lamar Jackson, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: guys like that that are that athletic and can move around.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They're they're frustrating because it's it's hard to get them down,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you know. And and um, they do a great job
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of extending plays and and that's where that's where a
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: lot of the explosiveness comes from, right, is uh some
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of the broken, broken plays that they create. Yeah, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: mean that's the thing. There's a little bit of a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: no fear factor. But you know, and and that's that's Uh,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it's probably a little bit of a upbringing and how
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he how he was raised and and uh, I know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I know how he was coached and how he's coached now,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it's just it's a part
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of him you know, and and um you kind of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you kind of respect that, you know that there's that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: sort of that no fear mentality. The defensive struggled a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: little bit with some of those mobile quarterbacks this year.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: How do you prepare for I guess the next two games.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: It's a challenge. Um you know, we we've just got
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to learn from from our past, learned from the mistakes
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we've made, and try to correct him this week. It's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be a it's gonna take a great uh team
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: effort obviously to uh, you know, if we can get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to him, you know, and and still be able to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: maybe you know, break up some passes down the field
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and and maybe even a chance to create some turnovers
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: off of a tip or something like that. But uh,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a full effort, you know, all hands
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: on deck. So speak. You got a guy who's gonna
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: be Pat Mahomes in practice. I don't know, Maybe I'll
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: figure it out here a little bit. What kind of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: strives as the offensive line take and it seems like
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it was the last month they've really settled in they have, Um,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I think we're one of the tops in the league.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And and you know, um as far as you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: passer rating, as far as getting hits on quarterbacks where
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you know, we keep our quarterback pretty clean. They they've
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: created some great holes in the run game. Um, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's really good to see Luke
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: settling in, you know, and he has a great communication
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: with those guys. You know, Tyler Shatley, the way he's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: come in and played and played consistent and you know
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: you got the veteran obviously in Brandon and the two
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: tackles I think are are playing consistent and really good.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So you know, obviously, Um, they work hard during the week.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know, Phil has them well prepared, um each week
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we just gotta have another good
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: performance this week. Sorry. When you look at this upcoming game,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: do you kind of get the sins are filling that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you did before the Charters game where you guys have
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a chance to go on the road do something, specially
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: against one of the better teams in A Yeah, I
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: mean it's a it's one of those benchmark games. You're
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you're going against a team that's been one of the top,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you know in the a f C and obviously won
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl here recently and you know, it's a
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: it's a challenge. It's a challenge to go on the road.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It's a it's a great place to play. It's loud.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You know, the weather is gonna be a little a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: little cold, forty degrees is you know, it's gonna be
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a different environment for us. And but but you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: we don't make any excuses. We just we just go
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: play and and uh try to gauge where we are,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you know, against the football team that's pretty good. Chargers
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: game too far back to go back and try to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: recall it into players memory or how when Yeah, I
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: mean you can go back and sort of look at
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that game and you know, take a look at like,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you know, preparation that week and just how how we
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: handled that whole trip. Um, guys did a nice job there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And we've got to be able to duplicate that, you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: really all the home or road games, you know, and um,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this is no different change this week because it's all
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: pass just the practice inside, just the with the rain
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: coming and um the storm you know hitting us, Uh
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: later today tomorrow, I think on Friday's short today. Now
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it's that time of the year, you know, really, um,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you know we're in week ten, guys who played a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: lot of football, you know, in in uh the two
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and a half months, and um, I just want to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: make sure that they're fresh and ready to go for Sunday.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Knowing how loud Arrowhead can be, is it almost an
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: advantage that you're playing inside? Maybe do you amplify the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: music you blast that? Yeah, we'll, I will. I'll do
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it later in the week. I won't do it today
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: because I get I don't want to have a headache
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: by Friday. But um, yeah, you know, you do everything
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you can to prepare your guys. Crowd noises one of them. Um,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it's great again. Like I said, it's a great place
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to play. And and uh for our guys that haven't
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: been there, you know, it's uh, it's gonna be fun.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Did you listen to Trevor's mictop segment. I haven't. I'm
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: just curious your thoughts on mac talk Do you want
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: do you want quarterbacks to be talking smack? I love it?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I love it, really I do. I mean I played
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: with the guy you know, I played and I played
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: with the guy that was probably King of the King
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: of the the trash talking and back and forth in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Brett and you know, UM, it's it's good to see,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you know, good to see that the guys, you know,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: as long as I keep it in in fun and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and and all of that back and forth. But yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it's good to see. One of the big critiques people
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: have said, does Trevor have the quote unquote dog in him.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like just small sample size, but the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: week before versus this week, did you see a different
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: edge to him this past Sunday. Yeah, I think he.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I think he wanted to, you know, prove himself, you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: know that he's capable of bouncing back and having that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: type of game, and and I think, you know, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: think his mindset was right all week, and UM handled
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it extremely well, you know. And and um did a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: nice job leading or leading our team. Ok Okay, thanks guy,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you
