• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and can you sustain it? And that's that's what we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: need to do. You've kind of been looking to turn
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that corner and maybe looking for that spark. Can a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: win like this one be? Maybe that I mean, because
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it's not just to win. I mean you the second
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: biggest comeback and franchise history kind of win. Yeah, I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: mean it can be. You hope it is. Uh, but
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it's up to the It's up to the coaches and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the players, you know, to just keep doing their job,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: keep working every day, um, you know, don't worry about
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the outside world and focus on focus on our jobs
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and get ready for you know, for another football game.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It's not the windustry day. Deserve to feel good about
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: themselves for a little bit. But so on now, I mean,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I know it, but it's still probably good. Feelings are
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: still private way in the week, well they are, um,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but we don't have time to relish in victories and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we don't have time to relish and defeat, and you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: it's onto the next one, you know, onward and upward,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and and that's um, you know, that's that's my my task.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: My job is head coach to make sure the guys
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: stay focused that way and stay stay centered, stay grounded,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you know. Um, but it can you know, a win
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: can definitely lift your sails a little bit and you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: kind of go into the week feeling a little bit
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: better about yourself. Margaret said that they're looking at the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: next eight games is kind of like a brand new season.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Is that the mindset you want them to have. Yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I mean it has been impressive to see them be
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: able to kind of move past it's last couple of weeks.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, I mean we started the you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: if you break the season up into quarters, right, we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: were two and two in the first and then we
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we sputtered and forward next and you know, now you're
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: sitting here kind of want to know at the beginning
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of the next the kind of the third quarter, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you know, and you just have to kind of approach
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it that way and kind of attack your season that way.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Great opponent this week, you know, in the Chiefs are
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: one of the one of the best teams, and not
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: on the NFL, but but in the a f C.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, we've got to just have a great
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: week of preparation and um, you know, um, not worry
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: about what we've done, but but focus on what we
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: can do aside from the win. Just in terms of
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the offenses resolve, you know, overcoming a couple of holding
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: calls and they're able to go down and score and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: things like that. How important is it for this offense
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to see that that they can do that and to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: sort of get over the Humpton in that way. Oh,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's great. I think it
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: gives the you know, the unit, um, the confidence they need,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know this week. You know, but um, there's still
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of I think teaching and coaching that that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: goes on that we can we can take from even
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a win, you know that we do from losses and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and um continue to add to and and build upon. Um.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You know, this week, after going back through the tape,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: just what did you see from Trevor and in terms
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of how he was able to manage again, especially in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that second half, well, he was very efficient. You know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we stayed out of third and long situations, which means
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we were really good first and second down second long
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: scenarios were good for us. You know, we were able
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to get it tilse thirdain twos and threes and some
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of the ones, and you know, capitalize on some first downs,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know, and just he played played within himself. He
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: didn't um, you know, didn't put the ball in harm's way.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You know, I saw the field really well. He ran hard.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's good to see him scramble a couple of times.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what you need, you know, you need that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: from your quarterback and from your leader. And and it
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: was a good, good step for him. How important is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a strong performance this week heading into the bye, Well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's huge for the for
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the team, you know too, to still be able to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: build upon, you know, this past weekend. And um, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: know it's a again, it's gonna be a benchmark type game,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, to see where we're at. You know, it's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a football team going up against a well coached, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: discipline team, and and uh, you know it's just gonna
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's a matter of just kind of just
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sticking to our business and keep trusting our process and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: everything that we're doing. And um, you know, go play
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and try to keep you know, eliminating the mistakes we're
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: making and trying to focus on that. I'll tell you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: this business, you know, Um, it's unfortunate. You know. Um,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: obviously Frank was a part of the team. You know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we won the championship there in in Philly, and uh,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: he and I are real close and and um, you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: know I hate it for him, but you know that's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one of the things as coaches, we know when we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: getting this business, it's gonna happen, you know, at some point. Um,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but I know he's gonna be you know, Um, he'll
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: bounce back, He'll he'll be he'll be better. And uh,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: just you know, hate it for him and his staff
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: right now. That's specifics. But Damonte Adams's one almost man
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: coverage just the scheme. I mean sometimes we ask our
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: outside backers too, you know, Apex the receiver, and uh,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you know, it just happened to be he was the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: guy in at that time. And and sometimes you'll see
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Josh in that spot or trade bad on that spot.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But but he happened to being that in that position
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: at that time. He wasn't he wasn't playing it, man.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I know that were there some communication issues in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: secondary yesterday specifically at times, but you know, whether or
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: not or Tyson was going with DeVante when he was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in the slot between him and Darius, between the corner
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and the safety Andre Cisco, whether or not they were
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: gonna have help over the top? Was there some communication
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: issues there with all the moving pieces more than normal
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in that secondary? That a hunch or did you see
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: some stuff? I mean, there's aw some stuff stuff there.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: You know, there's obviously some communication that goes on when
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: when you're Uskentyson to to go up against their their
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: number one receiver and we're trying to double him, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so there's gotta be some communication with the safeties and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and um there at times. I don't know if it
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was miscommunication, but there was definitely communication, you know, out
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: there on the field, and um, you know it's sometimes
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we got caught, you know, Davonte one on one with Cisco,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know for the touchdown. You know, it's just the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: way the defense played itself out, you know, with the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: with the with the offensive personnel. I mean, it happens
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to us sometimes on offense you can kind of dictate
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to the defense what you want and they executed to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: play well. But um, there's always gonna be communication. It's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's one of the things that you know, we need
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to continue to kind of clean up, kind of eliminate
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: some of the um the hesitation you know, out there
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: on the field and and just continue to you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: keep keep working and practicing to get that stuff cleaned up.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Did you see enough from Buster to keep that rotation
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: moving forward at the corner? I mean did some good things, um,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know, and and I think it was really really
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: good for him to get out there just kind of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: feel what game speed is like, you know, um having
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know, watched the tape this morning. I know he's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, probably be a little more aggressive the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: next time out, you know, uh in in in that position.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But it was good to see and and we'll see,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see this week just how the game
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: plan unfolds and see what Mike wants to do with
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the personnel on Toys of Cande. Sorry to
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: find back. You know, we've said it all along. He's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a great kid, a great kid, he's hard worker, Um,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: young good corner, you know. Uh, and we're excited to
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have him, obviously, and to be able to do what
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: he did. And and the thing is to what I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: reiterated to him was that he didn't have to do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: by himself because he was he was going to get
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: help with the safety, you know, Um, the D line
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was going to get to the quarterback. We're gonna, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: make it a package deal where he didn't have to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: be out there on an island the whole time. Um.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And you know he did, he did it well. He
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: played well, and it was really a good opportunity. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of the first one, you know, in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: his young career to go against a very good receiver
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in Davante Adams. And and um, I thought overall, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: settled into the game. Um I did some good things.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Ray Shawn is in the protocol. Um And Uh, Evan
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: is gonna be okay. He's gonna be kind of day
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to day, but should be fine, should be cleared for
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the game. Um No, Travis e t N was a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: little a little beat up. He's gonna be fine. Um.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Chris Mann hursts on the first play the game, the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: guy went low into his knee, but he's gonna be
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be. Okay. There's nothing significant there. Everything that
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: came out of the game, you know, Ray Shawn's the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: more significant one, you know, Um with the with the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: going into the protocol there, but everybody else is gonna
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be is gonna be fine, you know this week. Um,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I think we can use him more. I don't know
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: if we can get any more out of him. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: think we can just use him more. Um. He's he's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: he's a really good runner, you know. Uh and and uh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we were talking about that as a staff
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: this morning, how we can kind of utilize him a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: little bit more and and maybe take some off of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Travis just a little bit, you know a little a little.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But the more you're around him, you understand he's he's
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: hard to bring down. Uh, he's kind of slithery, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: through the through the whole. When he finds it, UM
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stays low, keeps his pads low and and you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: gets two to three to four extra yards, you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: so UM, tough runner, hard runner. Um. And and from
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that standpoint, you know, you would think that, I mean,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit surprising that he can do that,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you know, but powerful kid keeps his legs moving. Um,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: it's good to see what do to me. But doesn't
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: always seem not always seem really large, not hard hits,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you know what the angle runs sometimes, especially on the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: outside over there. You know, he runs hard, so naturally
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he's he's gonna he's gonna probably get hit hard or
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: hit the ground hard. Um, but you know he bounces
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: up and and you know he's ready for more. You know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: which is which is good to see from your runner. Um,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you know it. I don't I don't want to take
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: that away, you know, uh, the aggressiveness that way, but
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: he does. He does from time to time take take
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: some some wasps. Is there anything extra to a game
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: like this one? When you go against the coach you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: know personally like Andy Reid? For you, they're always fun,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you know. Um, you know my career and of course
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he coached me, you know, so we go way back,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and I've worked for him and you know, got a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: lot of respect for him and obviously his family and um,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: he's kind of taught me a lot about this game
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and and it's always you know, fun to go against um,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know him and his teams because you know, they're
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: going to be well coached and well disciplined. And UM
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: always has you know, great talent, which we know and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and UM yah it'll be fun. But once the once
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: we tee it up though, it's you're focused on the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: game because UM's Chase, I'm gonna come back soon? Or
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: is he still ways away? Sure? Well, I know he
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: had to miss the last four games, so I'm just
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: wondering if you guys are gonna try to activate him
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this week or moving forward? What are you doing now?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The plan still he's you know, with him being down,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, UM still got a few weeks left with him,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and uh, I just want to make sure he's but
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: he's he's progressing in the right right direction and UM
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you know would see him probably sooner than later. Appreciate it. Thanks, thanks,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
