• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Any uh.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yourself, not.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: A little bit more than.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: That worked for you, But I did any regrets that
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: you didn't get.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: A little bit more achieved. I feel like I'm back
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: in Philly run pass ratio again.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Uh you know, I mean, yeah, y you look back
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: on it and you go, yeah, sure we could have
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: run out a few more times here, run out a
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: few more times there. And I'm honestly looking at this
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: film again, it just comes down to coaches need to
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: coach better, players need to execute better. That's really what
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: this film comes down to. And I'm talking more offensively.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: I thought defensively, they did some great things. They kept
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: us in this football game. Honestly, you know, we don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: convert the fourth and five they score, and then the
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: opening drive of the th There's only two real drives
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: that that they did. Other than that we kept We
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: kept a really good offense down. So yeah, it could
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: be a play here or there, you know that you
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: look at. But but I thought, uh, you know, offensively, uh,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: we got to do a better job specific specific.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Play And the first goal for the one is that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: is that an example of an instance when you don't
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: find a play call, but if somebody gets beat yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, and that's what happens. That's what happens. You know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: there was there's quick pressure. I mean, you know, we
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: know Chris Jones a great player, and it just it
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: just disrupted the timing of the of the of the route.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: You know. I like the decision.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I like where we were, you know, I had a
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: little momentum driving the football, you know, and then on
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the the goal line.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I think we're just doing too much, you know, as
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: a as a unit, you.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Know, we we don't need to necessarily, you know, take
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: things into our own hands sometimes and just just run
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the run the show, run the offense, and and and
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: and From a coaching standpoint too, I'm saying we need
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: to put our players in.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: A little better situation.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Don't don't give them that type of you know, maybe
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: we don't give Trevor that type of option, and right
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: we we just say, hey, just you know, you're at
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the one yard line.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Let's let's run it four times in a row.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: And those are all things that that you know, it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: week two. We're gonna learn from it, you know, as
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: a group, and and and get better.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: And not not not necessarily a read option.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I think I after looking at the film, I know
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: why he pulled it because we saw the defensive end
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: and the and the corner there crash and and again
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: he's trying to trying to make a play. And the
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: game yesterday quite honestly felt like from an offensive perspective,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: that that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: We we were forcing some things.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: We were trying to make a play as opposed to
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: just going out and executing the offense.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: And that's and that's where.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: You know, there there's plenty of opportunity there in the
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: red zone to score and and and we just didn't
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: capitalize on it, just because I think it was that
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: struggle all day, you know, just maybe not getting in
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: rhythm and sync even in the passing game, you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: just being off, you know, timing of routes to depth
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: of routes, the protection being a little off, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: helping out, you know, when the backs can help out
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: on d ms, being able to do all of that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: It's just it just felt like that was the struggle,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: right And and then ultimately trying to make a play,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: you press just a little bit. Coaches do the same thing.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: We try to make a play, to try to make
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: a call that's gonna get us a chunk play and
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and really we all just need to you know, stick
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: with the stick with the game plan.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Injuries of uh, they came out good. They came out good.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Anton. No, I don't think the shoulder is an issue
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: with him. He just got uh he got stepped on
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: his calf yesterday. Just a little contusion his calf. But
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: other than that, the shoulders, the shoulders.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Good jobs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jobs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Had to have somebody help him put a shirt on yesterday.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's his shoulder, just uh, just a shoulder spring.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Should be day to day, should be fine. Zay Zayn
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: getting some testing done with him. Well, we'll have a
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: a better report later today. Uh, but he's he's day
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: to day right now. Pretty sore today and we'll we'll
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: monitor that as a week.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Ghost they do go on to fourth down situations.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Is is is is going on fort.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Down depending it you know last year you had a
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: little bit of hot streaks at the beginning.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Of the season.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Is that a circle cool thing or you know you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you know you you you feel it should work a certain.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Percentage of time you tried, well you know I I
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I look at it too.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Is is trying to and and again this is this
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: is is probably Honestly, I I'd probably admit it's a
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: bad decision, you know, at that time, But again, you're
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: trying to make a play, right, You're putting the team
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: in a situation to make a play. And and look
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: looking back on it, you know, y you probably you
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: probably punt the football right there, especially up at midfield.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: But I felt like at the time too, how our
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: defense was playing right that that you know, they hadn't
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: scored yet. Right as an offense, that was gonna be
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: their first touchdown drive to go up seven to three.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: At the time, defense was playing well, special teams was
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: playing well and and looking for us as an offense
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to to just continue that drive. Sometimes it is cyclical,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: but but I have to take it as you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: play to play fourth down to fourth down, and you know, uh,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like your third and five menu. You know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: that's on your call sheet right there, and and and
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: you pull one of your one of your top players
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: from there. But again, you know, it goes back to
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: you know, Jean's point with the protection and some of
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: the things where where we broke down that failed to execute.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Is having mcman what you know he can do, what
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: he has done the first few games. Does that change
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: anything as far as you're thinking.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Goes on what to goboard or not?
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I mean it it It definitely lengthens the kick line
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: for us, you know yesterday, I think normal kick line
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: is around thirty eight with the wind and everything.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: But you know you're your your.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Drop dead it, you know inside the forty five, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: so you're you're almost right there, you know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: To to kick a field goal.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: But that that does play a little bit into it,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: you know, and his his uh, his big leg to
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: kick those long field goals.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: You learn about your teams, but how they respond I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: think you learn a lot.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: It's the one thing about you know, our league is
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: you know we only have seven days before we play again,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: and and you feel like this on Monday, and you
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: watch the tape and you make the corrections and you
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: move forward, and now you're focused on the next you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the next opponent here coming up this afternoon. But you
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: know you wish you could get out there and and
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: redeem yourself in a couple of days, but you have
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: seven days to really think about it and and process
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: it and.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Make all the adjustments you need to. Is it. Are
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: we focused and going.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: To find limit Colene we saw yesterday yesterday, and and
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: this is Spags.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: This is his defense.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: He'll you know, in some of those third down red
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: zone scenarios you saw, if you saw it, it was
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: it was double Calvin, double Christian. And and so again
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: we had opportunities. They they was coming through a couple
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of times and and we just we just missed on
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: on a couple of throws, throws that those two guys
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: make all the time. So yeah, so we we knew
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: that going in that was his style. And and you
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: know that's why the plan was designed a certain way,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: you know, to free up those other guys this game
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and then just go you know, while we were just
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: all that day and.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: And it's not like a long term surve.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: It's not a long term concern at all. It kind
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: of reminded me of the the Houston game last year,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: you know here where where we didn't we didn't play
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: very well, you know, and and lost that football game. Listen,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: it's week two, right, it's it's it's one game and
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: half the league lost yesterday. You know, we were one
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: of those, we were one of those teams to lose.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: And you know we're still right where we want to be.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: You know, you're still you know one to oh and
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: you're one on one, but want to know in the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: division with the division game this week and you know
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of football ahead of us.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Still from your defense through two weeks, I mean, I
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: think a lot of people.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: Say, yesterday was surprising, what do you what do you see?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And why are they playing well? Surprising how.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Seventeen points and frustrating.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: The homes like they have.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I think that's just, uh, it's a credit to the scheme,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: what Mike's doing. You're utilizing the personnel this year. You're
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: you're seeing Traybon and Josh up their game a little bit,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: you know, on the edge. Uh, the secondary is is
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: more in sync this year. Just the communication has been better,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and and they're playing their playing faster, you know, they're
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: they're they're steiny ing the run, you know and kind
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: of shutting that down and and other than you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: a couple of QB scrambles and and some broken plays.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: But and then they're playing physical, you know, and.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: That's that's something that's uh, I think that's kind of
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the pride for the defense right now. And and they've
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: i think two weeks in a row. They've kept the
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: offense in the game, right. They did it in Indie
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: until the offense caught you know when there at the
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: end of the game, and then obviously all day yesterday
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: they did the same.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: The defense playing at that level and kind of offense,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: the position he's anybody in particular, he bought Cozzi's I mean,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: who is who is playing at a level?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, Josh is playing extremely well right now. You know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Trayvon's been been good. I mean you see what what
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Jank did yesterday with h with his ability to tackle
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: in space and make some play. Cisco showed up yesterday,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: could have had a second interception, but had had a big,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: big play there, you know. So it's it's just it's
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: a combination of all that and those guys playing playing
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: well together.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah great.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know the scrutiny that comes to being a
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: head coach and being a coach this league, this is
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: probably the most criticism that press Taylors receiving his coaching
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: career and questioning, I mean videos of him during the
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: game frustrated.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: You talked to him.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: About how to handle some of that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talk not only to the coaches, but to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the players too.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: You just can't let your emotions get get the best
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: to you, right And and he understands that, you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: because that's something that we try not to.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: You never let your your opponent see a sweat, you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: and you just try to be the same, uh, same
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: every play.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: And you know, yeah, we were frustrated.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: As a as a team yesterday and not just not
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: just him.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I was frustrated. We were all frustrated, you know, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: because we didn't play well.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: And but when you put on the film and you
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: watch this morning with a little calmer eyes, that there
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: are plays there. So we gotta we gotta make sure
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: our players understand and A, and we coach them better
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: so they can recognize certain things even though y y,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: you can't. That's the thing we have. We have veteran
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: guys and guys that have played a lot of games
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: on offense. But you just can't assume as a coach,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: you can't assume that they know everything right. You can't
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: assume that they can they're gonna make the So it's coaches.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: That's why you know, we wear the sea on our hat,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: right cause it's our job. We're the ones up here
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: spending all the time watching the tape. So we have
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: to prepare our players to be able to recognize certain
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: things and then to be able to go out and execute,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you know, the game plan during the week.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Uh, defense is taken.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Can't take advantage of kleb Long's sack.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: That's what's the chiefs behind the sticks. Yeah, but.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: That maybe when you see that sack, that opes that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you'll you know, just see a little bit of a confidence.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: But these arms even highly criticized, cause your first round
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: draft pickers have like three stasses first three years.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But is it what do you think?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: It's one play If you think it's somehow, some way, it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Could be a co u. Yeah, and it was a
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: great play.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I I think plays like that can definitely
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: be you know, a confidence booster. I think it it'sh
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: It shows that you know, he's he's definitely capable right
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: of making those types of plays, and then from a
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: defensive perspective.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Getting him more maybe giving him more opportunity.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: So so you know, rotating those guys a little bit
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: more so they're fresher as the game game goes on.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: But you know, plays like that, we we expect, you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: we expect n guys like Calebon to to make those
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: type of plays, just like Josh and you know Treybon what.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Live little concern?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I uh do you have about the oppensive line
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: which is always a work in progress and it's probably
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: gonna be this way moving forward if you can get
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: came back a little while and how you and.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Just way too.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm not concerned. I've seen these guys work together.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: One thing about the offensive line one, it's a it's a.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Cohesive, close group and and.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: It's not the five offensive linemen need to play in
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: unison with one another, right, There's gotta be great communications
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: starts with Luke and of course then Brandon to Anton
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: and and and.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: BArch out to to Walker and all of that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: And you know, one of the things yesterday I was
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: I was proud. We we focused a lot on identification
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: and communication. That was one of our talking points with
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the team because of what Kansas City's defense, you know, presents.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Their their pressure team.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: And you know, it felt like coming out of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: game that are that the identification, the communication was great.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: But the execution failed.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: So this is where we have to go back and
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: and you know, evaluate it from a coaching perspective and say, hey,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: are we are we doing too much? Are we do
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: we have too many protections? Do we need to scale
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: back just a little bit, Do we need to rep
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: more of one thing in practice? You know, So there's
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of different things that we look at, but
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: not concerned about the offensive line. It does take a
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: little bit of time. I think if you look around
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: the NFL right now, you know, there's probably a lot
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: of offensive lines that are sort of whether due to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: injury or whether they're trying to figure each other out.
• 14:28
